Chapter 85 - An Old Governor’s Tales

Mao Shaoqi had served as the governor of Whitewall City for nearly a decade. When he first assumed office, Whitewall was merely a medium-sized town, though some still referred to it as such out of habit. In truth, it had burgeoned into a bustling city, especially during the summer months when merchants flooded its streets.

Since his arrival, he had relentlessly poured his energy into the town's growth, undeterred by th...

Chapter 84 - Fixing Problems The Xianxia Way

The two newcomers were notably younger than the governors and retained a full head of black hair. One of them sported short hair and possessed a stockier build with a square jaw, donned in a striking red robe. Meanwhile, the other cut a tall, thin figure, resembling a stereotypical cultivator with his long hair tied in a ponytail, clad in a green robe.

In stark contrast to the old governor's aged and weathered ap...

Chapter 83 - Avengers Assemble!

I observed the old man, who appeared to be in his fifties. Based on the Qi around him, it felt like he was in the upper stages of Qi Gathering, somewhere around the peak, no doubt. Song Song had sent me here for a reason, and I doubted it was to handle some displeased local politicians.

As I opened my mouth to speak, the governor interrupted me, "If you even try to order me around, I'm going to smash you over the head....

Chapter 82 - Petty Rivalries  and How To Solve Them

I couldn't help but stare at the white marble gate; they were giant and looked big enough to fit a large truck, though that was widely useless since there were no trucks in this world.

Nevertheless, with their size, the gate was undoubtedly heavy—something that even a dozen humans would have difficulty opening and closing.

Heavy gates might sound like a good idea against an enemy, but i...

Chapter 81 - Plan: Paper Diamond 

With Hu Jin involved, anything could be possible, and no matter the danger, the grandpa in the ring would save him. Sadly, I did not have that privilege. So, I had to plan things through and take some countermeasures.

In this case, the worst-case scenario was that someone was leading these monstrous beasts. Usually, disciples already had enough difficulty defending the towns, and it was not unheard of for them t...

Announcement

I like to do these after the new chapter is out. It makes them easier to put up with.

Anyway, Patreon updated recently, and it somehow gave access to all the content to all paying members, and I had to fix that manually. The Silver and Gold Tier members might not have seen anything weird. 

However, the Bronze Members had access to all the chapters except chapter 75, which was one of the chapters I fixed some grammatical errors on the weekend. So they were rightf...

Chapter 80 - A Degree in Monsterology!

Song Song's intensity continued to increase, reaching a point where the tree-like monstrous beasts began writhing in discomfort.

However, they weren't the only ones affected; the rest of our team also appeared to be in poor condition. Some were vomiting, while others shook uncontrollably, overtaken by irrational fear.

"Nice! Liu Feng, you truly are a genius! How did you even think of utilizing maliciousness in an...

Chapter 79 - It’s That Instinct Again!

With monsters charging at us, there wasn't much we could do. Well, more specifically, there was not much I could do.

Though I had certain advantages, I was confident in defeating a one-star Qi Gathering Cultivator. On average, that was not the case. Here, everyone other than me was a Qi Gathering Cultivator, and they likely had more fighting experience.

So, without mincing my words and being honest with myself,...

Chapter 78 - A War of Meaning!

After Sia finished cooking, she handed everyone a plate of delicious-smelling soup. It had been a lot of hard work for her, but she did it with a smile.

As part of the group, I also received my own metallic plate of food. I stared at it for a good minute while the others ate theirs.

"Is something wrong?" Liu Bo asked.

"No, I'm just waiting for it to cool down," I responded.

With one plate in hand, I used the ...

Chapter 77 - Just A Weird Girl!

"Who is it?" she asked.

"I have no idea," I shrugged. "But your enemies would be stupid not to put at least one spy in your team."

In this case, I was putting myself in the shoes of whoever Song Song was against. If there was one thing someone could trust Song Song to be, it was unpredictable. So it would make sense to have someone keep an eye on our dear psycho girl here so she didn't do something like... just decide t...

Chapter 76 - An Innocent Mind, Tainted!

Song Song stared into my eyes, then without hesitation, kicked the unconscious guy in the head. His body flew away like a rag doll, bouncing off the ground several times before coming to a halt.

That kick inflicted more damage than I had, and there was a good chance she might have killed him with it. Though her kick wasn't at full power, the guy was defenseless in his unconscious state.

A small stream of blood s...

Chapter 75 - Welcoming Gift

It only took a couple of days for someone to show up out of nowhere. It was just some guy with unassuming looks waiting for me at the library while talking to the librarian.

"Why do people who send letters or need to meet with my personal disciple come here? You do know that this isn't his home, right? This is a public space," the librarian complained. His voice was as dull as always, and he seemed like he was giving a lesson and...

Chapter 74 - Just Call Me!

"With how she acts, Song Song is headed for an inevitable demise. She's making too many enemies," Ye An continued her rant.

I had zoned out halfway through. After all, it was more than ironic that Ye An was accusing others of making enemies. Did she forget what she had done? Ye An had her own enemies from when she killed all those people in the exams.

If it weren't for Song Song's protection, she would be in deep trouble. In...

Chapter 73 - An Encyclopedia of Monsters

I settled onto the stone base on the library's third floor, stitching together a thick binder of pages and a rugged leather cover. Making a book from scratch was tedious, especially when it was as thick as this, and I had to sew the pages together.

I smiled as I examined the book's dark cover, adorned with the inscription:

An Encyclopedia of Monsters — by Liu Feng.

But despite the momentary satisfaction...

Chapter 72 - No Right Choice for Righteous Men

"Why are you bringing this to the second floor?" asked the old goat as I carried two green jades the size of my head down the stairs.

Shan Sha stared at me, sipping his tea while pointing his cane at my chest.

"Well, the owl upstairs just keeps staring at me, and it's a bit unnerving. Also, I don't want to train in a place where I feel nervous, especially as I'm in some critical stages of my training," I ...

Chapter 71 - A Wave in the Distance…

Days passed since Ye An came around with her crazy suggestion, and soon enough, my life returned to normal.

Climbing up the stairs and reaching the second floor, I immediately went to the third floor. A weightless feeling washed over me as I walked past the array. Unlike the first time, no illusion arrays or anything else tried to stop me.

Once again, I found myself on the third floor, seemingly alone. I c...

Chapter 70 - Icy Allergies!

Xin Ma stared at the entrance as a young girl entered. She had skin resembling white jade, silky dark hair with a patch of white on her bangs, and a face akin to a pretty peach. Despite her beauty, something felt off about her demeanor; her silvery gaze was cold and emotionless.

"The library is closed," Xin Ma informed her.

"I'm here to meet Liu Feng under Song Song's orders," she stated, casually scanning her surroundings....

Chapter 69 - He is My Disciple!

A soft greenish glow surrounded my hands, shimmering in and out of existence, leaving behind a tingling sensation. As I tried to keep my fists up, two spherical barriers the size of my head formed around them. No matter how much I concentrated, I wasn't quite adept like a Qi Gathering Cultivator, where I could freely control my Qi.

Glancing to the side, I saw the owl-like being staring at me without blinking.

Was he cur...

Announcement

Some of you might have noticed that recently I have been having a hard time keeping up with the daily updates. The writing isn't the problem, but the planning is.

The first book was planned to the smallest details before I even wrote the first chapters, while the second only has the general events that I have to flesh out on the same day as I'm writing a chapter. Which makes it hard to write a daily chapter and keep the quality at a desirable level.

That is why I h...

Chapter 68 - A Day in the Life of a Nerd!

The books on the third floor differed significantly from those on the other two floors. While technically containing more valuable information, they also harbored numerous theories devoid of factual evidence.

I found myself engrossed in a book discussing a theory known as the Fate Theory. However, I opted to simplify its name for ease of remembrance. It delved into the concept of three wills governing the world, one...

Cultivation Nerd: Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - Library Owl!

I reclined against one of the shelves on the library's second floor, engrossed in a book about monstrous beasts—a subject that had occupied my thoughts frequently lately, particularly with Speedy growing each day.

Navigating through the information on monstrous beasts proved as perplexing as ever. There were no clear categories or labels; I had to scour through various books to find details on each type. Moreover, unlike humans, ...

Chapter 66 - Midnight Strolls

"So, how did you and Song Song meet?" Cao Wu asked awkwardly, clearly attempting to divert her father's attention from any potential drastic actions. "She isn't exactly the friendliest person."

"Heh, if that isn't an understatement, I don't know what is," the drunken elder snorted. "I remember when you were younger, she dragged one of the Sect Leader's concubines by their hair and drowned her to death."

There was a story ...

Chapter 65 - No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!

Since that incident with the red-haired dude, I have come to the cafeteria at random hours, avoiding the times when the other guy was around.

I sipped my tea and smiled at the empty dining hall.

Two weeks had passed since the entrance exams, and the newcomers had arrived. With them came an entire library, but the second floor remained deserted, as usual.

Thankfully, I hadn't spotted the red-haired guy i...

Chapter 64 - Big Guy Problems!

As I made my way down the steps to the library, my pace slowed, allowing me extra time to reconsider my decision.

While I had fulfilled my relatives' mission by successfully introducing the twins to the Sect, another task remained: scouting for talent to fill the librarian position.

Discovering someone of exceptional ability capable of compelling the Sect to promote an outer elder was no small feat. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately in this...

Chapter 63 - Interlude: Red

Being born with talent, one would expect a nice life ahead of them. However, what could be considered talent had changed as he traveled the White Tiger Continent.

Hu Jin rubbed his hand through his crimson hair as the inner disciple in front of him examined his pockets, clothes, and everything else.

"Are we done?" Hu Jin asked, trying to hide the nervousness.

But the inner disciple glanced at him with an unreadable look before saying, "What...

Chapter 62 - New Endings & Beginnings

Spending time in this world made me understand that when push came to shove, there were only two kinds of people: overthinkers and go-doers. The best example of the latter was Song Song. Sometimes, she acted recklessly, but her instincts compensated for that drawback.

I was definitely an overthinker, but such things mattered little now.

Even though I tried to think of the best way to get the hell away from th...

Chapter 61 - Plans & Schemes

As my mind raced a thousand miles a second, I sensed movement behind me. Glancing back, I saw Ye An, her hair disheveled and coughing up water. It appeared she had been below deck and nearly drowned.

Amidst the chaos, I had completely forgotten about her.

Gasping for air, she leaned against the doorframe, her face expressionless despite the ordeal. "My room suddenly flooded as the door burst open. What the hell happened?"

Even as she co...

Chapter 60 - Salty

Gazing at these magnificent ship structures, I couldn't help but wonder about their intricate creation process. Undoubtedly, it must have been an expensive endeavor, considering even Liu Feng had never encountered anything like this.

Perhaps the presence of the inner elder was indeed to safeguard these flying vessels. When Liu Feng was accepted, only the outer elders were involved.

Some inner elders oversaw the first part of the exam when talented individ...

Chapter 59 - Promotions & Cool Stuff

As the ships slowly began drifting away from the shore, the disciples and newcomer applicants, who were also on their way to becoming disciples, were in quite a good mood. Some had even begun chatting amongst themselves, displaying a friendly demeanor.

Despite the cozy atmosphere, I couldn't relax and glanced toward the outer elder in charge of this ship. He was unfamiliar to me, unlike the individual who had previou...
