Although Ki was very much able to breakthrough to the transcendent realm she was still eleven years old and it was time for her to undergo her biggest growth spurt at this age so she wanted to break through after undergoing that important growth spurt.
In her previous life she had not even stepped into the martial arts world at this age but her body began maturing around this time or a little later but the problem was that she had been malnourished and tortured severely which had impeded her development a lot.
That caused her to have a smaller build and less womanly curves than most other women because she was in such a bad condition that even after she found help to fix up what remained of her body she did not experience any improvements in her growth.
To Ki the development of her body was important for her future in martial arts but also because she never got to see her own potential in her previous life.
Would she be beautiful if her face wasn't scarred so badly beyond repair?
Would her body develop better now that she wasn't starved and given scraps that weren't even fit for the animals?
Would she be able to walk around with confidence unlike her previous life who hid behind a mask?
Would she resemble her mother, her father or her grandmother in her youth as she had fully matured?
Could she cover more distance when running if her legs were longer than her previous life?
Could the reach of her sword or palms be longer than her previous life so she could land her attacks easier?
From the age of seven to eleven she has spent four years training her body and providing it a balanced and nutritious diet that it needed.
Ki was often mocked for her short and skinny figure in her previous life so she took this seriously and made every effort not to prevent obstructing her growth process.
She even took lessons learning noble etiquette with her grandmother to know how to improve her posture and during her martial arts training she also continued to stretch her body during her time warming up to ensure that she makes the best out of her potential.
Thanks to her great care and effort put into ensuring that her body was in the best of health, she had even begun to develop and grow at a much earlier date than her previous life.
Her practice of martial arts and the blood Buddha qi art also provided her with a lot of vitality beyond a normal human child so her development speed was a lot faster than her previous life.
Her hips and thighs had began to fatten out and also her breasts had begun to grow during the past half a year along with a sharp increase in height.
Although she could not yet reach her mothers height if given a couple more years she was sure that she could grow even a little taller than her.
She estimated that when she turned thirteen to fourteen years of age she would reach the peak stage of her maturity.
After the letter was sent out Ki spent most of her time either reading or within her research room.
With the help from her connections to several auction houses and black market networks and auctions along with having complete ownership of the herb pavilions she had enough connections and ways to acquire very rare herbs that can be used to make medicines, qi booster pills for martial artists and also for poisons.
Ki was in deep concentration as her gaze was heavily focussed on her hands actions in front of her with a mask covering her mouth and nose and gloves on her hands.
She ground up a large fiery red herb in front of her carefully and removed several useless parts.
She then took out a mixture of different herbs that looked to be of the same nature and ground them up together.
She took out a jade bottle of some unknown liquid and began to add the mixture of ground up herbs one at a time according to a specified order and the amount added was done according to what was stated in her memory.
After she completed adding the final ingredient the liquid solution immediately began to heat up and display signs that it was complete but the poisonous gases began to try escape from the jade bottle so Ki immediately placed a lid on it and sealed it.
After a lot of time searching she had been able to acquire an extreme fire herb which is of the nature of fire or heat and mainly is found in places with extremely hot environments like the western desert or by a volcano.
After a long period of searching Ki chanced upon two being auctioned since not many knew of their true use besides being used to make poisons.
Just like the extreme ice herb that the divine ice sect martial artists could consume after reaching a high enough realm to boost their martial arts it was the same for the extreme fire herb and a high enough realm of martial artist that uses a fire based qi art.
However Ki had decided to use one and keep the other for someone's later development while use the one she had just ground up to make one of the most deadly and fast acting poisons that had the effects to dry up and burn up the body from the insides after breathing it in or consuming the poison.
As Ki sealed the jade bottle she placed it side by side with another jade bottle and wrote on the note that was added to the bottle 'extreme fire poison' and 'extreme ice poison'.
Two poisons of opposing extreme natures of hot and cold or fire and ice.
