They suppose that since she hasn't joined a clan she doesn't have a specific training regime yet, but surely she does something to keep her body in condition? 

...she goes flying, and this means she is in shape adequate to fly? She can choose this moment to do some of that.

Does she normally not worry about needing to fly exceptionally well during a moment of high stakes, such that she needs to train to a higher level than she needs on less exceptional days? 

Doesn't really come up? But she'll get up in the air and have some fun.

Du Ye seems to be vaguely annoyed; Guo Rong laughs and says that she should enjoy her idleness while she can, since cultivation needs a lot of training. 

"If it'll make me immortal it'll save lots of time in the long run!"

Everyone laughs like she's said a funny joke. 

Maybe it was on purpose! Though possibly not for the reasons it amuses them. Anyway. Flying.

And after training, dinner! Someone has already cooked all the food for them - there's a dozen different dishes, meat stewed and steamed and roasted alongside tortillas and various vegetables, everything in savoury and well-salted sauces or served with condiments. Some dishes are even spiced. None of it is fish. Instead of water, the meal is served with beer and rice wine. 

She tastes a vegetable, swallows it but doesn't take another, sniffs the beer and wine and sings some rain into her cup instead, and mostly eats various meats. The sauces are fine, at least.

Having already been informed that she is a carnivore, nobody is surprised - though Du Ye is disappointed, having assembled himself a diverse platter of every dish. Everyone other than her gets noticeably drunk, celebrating their victory and survival - and the fact that this will allow them to get one over an unspecified adversary. 

Will they specify the adversary if she asks?

Guo Rong will! "Oh yeah, you wouldn't have context for this. But Jian Bojing got into a fight with this guy, Zhang Ya, over a girl, and he tried to make it impossible for her to put together a proper hunting party so that she wouldn't be able to progress in cultivation and he'd win by default. So I decided I'd put together a hunting party instead, and once it's obvious her career isn't ruined other people will stop listening to Zhang Ya about it."

"Over a girl? What does that mean?"

Guo Rong will start blushing, so Jing Ye will take over. "They both wanted to fuck her." 

Jian Bojing will defend her honour "I wanted to *court* her. But it's a moot point. She said we were both being ridiculous and that she didn't want to talk to either of us until we'd sorted this out. And then went back to the capital. So I can't speak to her until I've beaten him, and also won a tournament or something like that, to impress her and show I wasn't just wasting my time." 

"I'm not nine yet but I think even when my species is nine it's different."

"What? You're not nine?" says Du Ye, not having been appraised of previous conversations. 

"That might be better." says Jian Bojing with a love-lorn sigh. 

"I'm four. We don't start trying to do any of that till we're nine."

"And then you die at ten, is the important point you didn't clarify here." says Jing Ye. 

"Yes, also that, hence the looking for immortality."

"Seems almost weird to want to cultivate for the sake of living longer. Like hearing someone was planning to move an entire mountain one rock at a time for the sake of their morning view." says Du Ye. 

"I can't say I'm a fan of the idea of old age myself." contributes Jing Ye. 

"Maybe if we lived as long as you I wouldn't be so excited about living forever but ten years isn't enough."

"No, I don't suppose it would be." 

"Do you spend longer as children, too?"
