Hi all,
Sorry for the sudden notice, but I just realized that I made a huge mistake on the cultivation realms of several elders.
The key ones will be the three elders who tried to recruit the MC (including Elder Gu). Instead of being early Nascent Soul, they should be mid Core Formation instead.
In contrast, Senior Song (Sister Nuan) will remain peak Core Formation -> Nascent Soul. As could be expected, this will change their interactions a bit. Luckily, not by...

As I look up, Elder Gu is still awaiting my answer patiently. A gracious, but understandable action because of the seriousness of the situation.
To show my gratefulness for his offer and patience, I bow and decline.
“My apologies, Senior, but my cultivation method has a few restrictions on it. One of which is the usage of sword arts. Such a wonderful show of skill would be wasted on one such as me.”
I can see his face fall, but he nods in understanding as the others gain...

After hearing their offer, I still feel some internal skepticism.
… Even with my abilities, I didn’t think that I qualified for Being a Core disciple. Or at least shouldn’t.
Even nobles have a extremely hard time getting into those positions.
Elder yin steps forward and slowly brings out a familiar sight, and something that confirms why we’re having this conversation.
In her hands is a mirror, one very similar to the one used for the spirit root testing...

As could be expected, when we touchdown close to senior songs position, she continues speaking to the group. Unlike how it typically happens in stories, we don’t immediately gain our attention as she’s doing something important.
For the next 30 minutes we stand at the side waiting for her to finish speaking to the group. Once she finishes, she dismisses the group and turns to us.
Despite being dismissed, I can see many in the group are loitering around, acting as if they’re ...

Hi all,
Unfortunately, Chapter 225 will have to be delayed, as my document closed and I lost all progress on the chapter.
… as you probably can guess, this sucks.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to get it up tomorrow
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Okay, I may have overestimated my ability to get these done. I'll be finishing the second chapter by tomorrow.
I have a goal set of getting another one done on Tuesday, as well. So that way, we can get a closer to the original schedule of chapters.

Should have two done tomorrow, with a hopeful third.
Don’t count on it, though. 😅

If I thought the area for the training grounds was large, the sheer amount of land that I’m passing by that’s dedicated to the warehouses and sect servants trivializes it.
Buildings and Roads that soar over gaps that are too frightening to mention.
There’s at least 1000 kilometers of just these buildings here. And I know there even more out there.
Which makes this situation even more strange.
The amount of the area I’m actually seeing from this position wit...

Well.
As I was reading through my book to identify characters, I realized… dang this book is long 😅
There are over 75 distinct characters in the book, that have multiple ties ins. And I haven’t even logged the Demi humans yet.
So many plot lines to fill out and holes to fill.
Sigh.
So, that’s the reason the chapter was delayed to today.
Good thing is, since this was done it will make dividends as I continue to build the story ou...

Seeing this child obviously in danger, I rushed to their side using my enhanced speed. To my surprise, when I do so they seem frozen but then start fighting back furiously.
Their long brown hair continuously smacks me in the face as they move from place to place in my hands.
And it’s not the fight of someone who thinks they’re being kidnapped, but more of someone who’s trying to get something.
Is this kid trying to die?
To figure out what I’m clearly missing...

Looks like I fell into old habits of telling the story, rather than showing it, as part of rushing.
Going to rework this one chapter today and may need to do the same going backwards a few. For now, as I go forward I’ll make sure it’s done in a better way. For the past ones, I’ll update them, as I release them publicly on Royalroad/Scribblehub.
It’s a good thing a reader caught that, as the upcoming chapters are going to be bringing back some ch...

With the mother ready to cultivate, I have her go through the same steps that the father went through.
After taking the heavenly spirit roots along with the local wine, she uses diaphragmatic breathing.
Since she had watched her husband and some mistakes that he had made, she could pick up the breathing technique a little quicker than he had. During the process, I also put my hands below her stomach, as well.
It was already getting dark when I first came here, and by this po...

How powerful should I make them?
My thoughts drift to their dantian and meridians.
There are several changes I could make and help guide them to do before they start the cultivation method.
The problem is, each of them will cause intense pain and in some ways will lengthen how long it takes them to cultivate.
The upside is, with the sheer amount of cultivation speed that they have such a hit would be comparatively minor to the benefit they would get.

Hi all,
Tonight's chapter will have to be delayed to tomorrow or Monday, as there's been hold ups in life.
In addition, I looked back at the some of the chapters and feel an intense need to clean them up, editing-wise.

After picking my jaw up from the floor, from how strong he and his family is going to get from this, I can see that he’s trying to do the same with his.
As a previously wealthy individual, he’s had body cultivation training in his youth. So, my healing and the extent of its effects has not been lost to him. Most cultivator’s or body cultivators know that a major way to improve your spirit root, at least initially, is to improve the body first. This is why most spirit root increa...

A little short word count-wise, but the spreadsheet should fill it out a bit in terms of information.
It's going to be interesting writing these characters from here.
Been planning this since the beginning, but different events influencing each other muddies the waters of what I originally came up with.
Wish me luck.

A question appears in my mind, within my tempting thoughts.
Would it really be more effective in my hands?
The thought gives me pause.
In terms of optimal usage, I could definitely use it better. However, there are things that are outside the simple realm of numbers and direct actions.
I’ve also noticed a pattern with my scan.
Things weren’t always what they seemed to be. Leading me into places that I typically wouldn’t consider to be ...

Despite the distance and time it takes to get to the slums, I don’t actually encounter any problems on the way there.
As I get closer and closer to the slums, one thing that I knew from before has simply increased to the point where I couldn’t ignore it.
The stench.
As would make sense for a slum, there isn’t that much infrastructure supporting the people that live here. Including a place to wash or use the restroom. As I was searching the area before, I was subconscio...

On the plus side, this chapter is actually longer than the 1500 average. Woot.
Also, an update has been made to the end of Chapter 209. Something that needed to be changed to make the story more realistic to the character’s decisions.

Hi all,
Sorry for dropping off the earth for a bit there. Life's been hectic.
However, I'm hoping to have two chapters completed tomorrow, albeit shorter than the 1500 normal ones.
Sorry and thanks for always being such cool readers.
... I should also probably try to bring the Scribblehub and Royalroad chapters back up to speed.
So much to do.
Nonetheless, hope you all have a great weekend!

After leaping away from the taming area and towards the city I quickly check behind me to see that no one is following.
Of course, someone is.
… Or attempting to, at least.
It appears to be an early-stage Qi condensation cultivator from the taming group.
However, with the sheer amount of speed that my jumps take me at, it is quite difficult for someone at that level to catch up to me.
But it won’t be difficult for them to track me down, with th...

My mind soars through different potential ways to get through this situation.
A few options immediately come to mind. Most of which involve giving exorbitant gifts that they could use for their own cultivation and taming. The main question that comes up is what type of gift should I give, and how far should I go?
Although I’m already planning on giving extremely valuable gifts to them, I can’t go too far. If I give them something that’s too good, they’ll have someone t...

As the worker woman returned, some other office workers also came with, bringing back a large number of parchments.
A brief look shows them to be the starting documents for creating a contract. She then asked us the types of contracts we would like to have with each other.
