Time slowly passes.
After practising for an hour, Lin Siyu finally decided to take a break and started to paint.
This routine went on for two weeks, and there are now only 6 days left to the entrance exams at the Lotus Moon Sect.
Lin Siyu had practised nonstop the past two weeks, and the results showed.
She had learned how to properly fight and was able to dodge most attacks with ease.
She also levelled up her movement skills.

- Xiayan Hu Wu: Level 2 (480/750)
After checking her panels, she was happy.
She had gotten 1130 EXP, and levelled up Xiayan Hu Wu to level two.
She had been training hard the past two weeks, and now she had only 6 days until the entrance exams.
She was confident in her skills, and her strength had increased dramatically.
Even when fighting her sister Xinyu, she can evade some of her attacks for a short period of time.
But one thing she noticed is that her stats seemed to not be increasing.
She read a book and figured out that strength and what not increase rapidly during 1-3 stages of Qi Refinement and slow down till the 5 stages and barely increase until you enter the foundation period.
Although it seemed like it would be difficult to raise her attributes, she had a plan.
And that was painting.
Everyday, she would spend at least two hours painting, and it was showing.
While other stats didn't improve one bit, her vitality increased by 2.
Lin Siyu stood up and cracked her neck and stretched out the rest of her body.
"Dear Sister, it is time we made our way to the Lotus Moon Sect." Lin Chenyu said, startling Lin Siyu.
"Ah, already?" She muttered.
Lin Chenyu nodded.
Lin Siyu was silent.
In a few days, the examinations will begin.
Lin Siyu clenched her fist, a sense of excitement welling up inside her.
She had been preparing for this moment for a long time, and now it was finally here.
She was ready. She would give it her all, and nothing would stop her from achieving her goals.
Lin Siyu steeled her resolve, and followed Lin Chenyu and her siblings.
They said goodbye to their parents and left the house.
There was a carriage waiting for them, and they quickly got in.
The journey to the Lotus Moon Sect would take several days, and they needed to leave as soon as possible.
They travelled at a steady pace, and the scenery outside changed constantly.
As they approached the entrance exam area, Lin Siyu looked out the window and saw a huge city.
The Lotus Moon Sect was located near a large town called Lingxiu, and the entrance exam area was at the backend of the city.
Lin Siyu was excited.
This was her first time going to a big town in this world, and she couldn't wait to see what it was like.
The place they lived in was small with roughly 500 people living there, but here; there's roughly 3000 people.
As they neared the city, the noise grew louder and the buildings seemed to get taller.
The streets were crowded with tons of people shopping.
As the carriage pulled up to a large gate, Lin Siyu got a glimpse of the city.
It was bustling with activity, and the streets were filled with vendors and shops selling different cultivation products.
Lin Siyu took a deep breath and smiled.
She was finally here.
This was the start of her journey to becoming the greatest gamer *cough* cultivator ever.
"Sorry, but you may not enter the town with a carriage at your status." A voice sounded, making Lin Siyu come back to her senses.
The voice belonged to a guard.
He had a stern expression on his face, and his tone was cold.
Lin Chenyu nodded, not surprised by their response.
They got out of the carriage and they sent the carriage away with the servants back home and the town.
The guard looked at them and snorted.
Lin Siyu and her siblings didn't say anything and quietly walked through the gates.
The guard didn't stop them.
Once they were out of earshot, Lin Chenyu spoke.
"The city is divided into four sections. The north is where the commoners live, the east is for merchants and cultivators, the south is for the middle class, and the west is for the upper class."
"That's a lot to take in." Lin Siyu replied.
"We are headed towards the south. There are many inns and restaurants there, and we can stay there for the next few days."
"Sounds good to me." Lin Siyu said.
They continued walking and arrived at a large inn.
The inn was simple, but it was clean and well kept.
"We'll stay here for a few days." Lin Chenyu said.
They went inside and the innkeeper greeted them.
"Welcome! How can I help you?" He asked.
"We would like four rooms please." Lin Chenyu said.
The innkeeper nodded and got their rooms ready.
After settling in, Lin Siyu and her siblings went to the dining area and ordered some food.
The food was delicious, and they all enjoyed it.
Lin Siyu spent the next few days exploring the city, and she was amazed by the variety of items and shops available.
There was everything you could imagine, and she had fun exploring the various stores and stalls.
But one day, she ran into a familiar guy.
"Liang Jun?" Lin Siyu shouted.
She was quite surprised to see him.
Although she knew that he'd be coming here to take the exams, but, he was on a carriage.
Although her family has zero status whatsoever, she can still imagine what powerful identity one might have to be able to ride on a carriage.
But it was just a thought.
Liang Jun, on the other hand, was genuinely shocked to see Lin Siyu.
'I didn't think we'd meet this soon.' He thought.
"Stop the carriage, and invite the girl who waved at me." Liang Jun said.
"Yes, young master Liang." The driver replied.
The carriage stopped, and the driver hopped down.
He walked over to Lin Siyu, and invited her inside.
Lin Siyu politely accepted and entered the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Liang Jun greeted Lin Siyu.
"Hello, I didn't think we'd meet this early," Liang Jun said.
Lin Siyu nodded and looked around.
The carriage looks far more expensive than the one her family owns.
It had gold trimmings and fancy artwork that she can't understand with her current painting level.
The seats were cushioned, and there was even a small table in the middle.
"Hey, what's your identity?" Lin Siyu bluntly asked.
