I love this line.
I can see now the last two chapters were mostly set up for the action :] I like how the intense physical preparation justifies why cultivators are rare.
An interesting premise so far. I will say that information is told directly to the audience, rather than shown through dialogue/descriptors, which can lessen immersion.
Pretty solid establishing chapter. The last line is excellent. You convey Bai Yaoyao's betrayal and the effect this has on Bai Weiwei very well. I would recommend changing passive voice into active voice, since that tends to read more smoothly :]
Mostly exposition, but fitting for a prologue. Not a lot of action or characterization. There's not enough yet for me to form an opinion, but I'm intrigued by the weapons they received from their parents and the cultivation techniques.
The first sentence is repeated at the end of the paragraph.
Very vivid description, solid establishment of the family dynamics. I like how Rhi seems to be more of a rough-and-tumble protagonist. The questioned raised by the chapter are intriguing enough for me to want more. Some parts are redundant. For example, "I quickly put my phone down, got up, and jumped out of bed" could easily be cut down to "I quickly jumped out of bed", since got up/jumped out of bed convey the same thing, and putting the phone down would be implied.
