In an oriental styled Garden with beautiful flora, you can see a pair of children sitting in an outdoor pavilion.
The two were sitting in a lotus position with their hands connected between them. The two looked completely identical, save for one being a boy while the other was a girl.
They had smooth white skin like jade without any impurities. Their hair was silky and long, flowing like an inky waterfall down their backs. There was a streak of white in their hair, the boy's being on the left side and the girl's being on the right. The most striking part of them had to be the eyes, heterochromatic with one being a golden yellow while the other being a royal violet.
Although they were children just looking at their facial features you can see that they'll be country toppling beauties in the future.
These two were of course Lin Yun and Lin Yue.
They were now 5 years old and many things happened during these years. Firstly they found out for absolute 100% certain that they were in a Xianxia world. When they turned 3 years old their parents sat them down and explained that it's time they start cultivating. Apparently everyone uses the same cultivation method until the core formation(for some supreme manuals the foundation establishment) stage.
The second thing they found out is that while it is impressive that they figured out how to draw Qi into their bodies as babies, they almost killed themselves because they just kept stuffing QI into their bodies without doing anything with it.
Their bodies haven't been refined to be able to store Qi yet so if they kept gathering it they would've eventually exploded.
Good thing their way of drawing in Qi is slower than a snail, they didn't manage to explode themselves before their parents found out. Now that was a fun conversation, they thought their parents were going to have a heart attack.
The good news is that their previously stored Qi made them speed through the Qi Refinement realm like a rocket. they reached the peak of the realm in a year and broke trough to the Martial Warrior realm 6 months later. They were currently at the third level of the Martial Warrior realm.
For reference Normal five year olds would be in the Muscle refining stage, the more talented one in the bone or organ refining stage.
Suddenly Lin Yun sighed and opened his eyes Lin Yue soon followed.
"It's no good, we probably can't break through today"
Lin Yue looked to be in thought then solemnly nodded
"I agree the Qi we gathered still seems a bit lacking"
They both simultaneously sighed cultivation sure is difficult even if they can cultivate twice as quick due to their weird compatibility. Suddenly throughout the world, many people sudden had the urge to beat someone up.
