Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 8 🌱)

I took out one of the little golden pills and held it up with spiritual energy so everyone could see.

All eyes in the clinic stared at it. Some of those looked like they were waiting for me to fail. I even heard a physician lean over and whisper to a patient, “I don’t think that even an ...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 7 🌱)

When I told the Sect Leader that I needed to see this prescription work in person, I hadn’t been lying. Violet Pill Fairy was a genius at creating new recipes, but she wasn’t a scientist obsessed with perfection. This was also one of her early works. Like fuck would I take the recipe I’d memorized at face value.

Of course. The first thing I needed to do was test it to confirm that it worked.

Now that I had set up the formations for our safety, I returned to my courtyard to s...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 6 🌱)

By the time Little Spring had lost a full twenty contribution points through the assassin game half a day later, we neared our destination, Verdant Hidden Cavern City.

Since this was a new location and the terrain was fairly unique, the kid leaned over the edge of the boat to stare down at the curved roofs below.

This city was halfway up a mountain range near cliffs with a scatter of caves. Probably where the area acquired its name. The other part came from the lush environment th...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 5 🌱)

A large group of alchemists arrived on green leaf-shaped boats and quickly separated into their assigned teams.

The four who joined us introduced themselves as Fairy Elegant Sky Tamer, Alchemist Burning Hands, Fairy Softly Floating Grass, and Alchemist Incapacitating Wind.

I held back a snicker at that last one. I’d probably regret it since she was likely a master at trick pills — the best attacking method alchemists had. She was also one of the Foundation Establishment cultiv...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 4 🌱)

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and raised my chin at the adorable brat.

“I lived over 1000 years in my past life, and in all that time I didn’t have a special space like this. I can survive without it. And, considering how long it took to upgrade, I think that relying on it too much will get us in trouble.”

He swallowed. “Whether you need it or not, it’s still useful! Not using a tool just because you might rely on it too much is a terrible excuse.”

He ha...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 3 🌱)

Since we were in a slight time crunch, Enduring Flame quickly planned out an ingredient list with me.

The great thing about working with a big sect — all the plants I specified, the Peak Master added to the list.

Well, most of them.

He caught a few that I put in there just to see if I could get away with it. The glare he sent me was, hands down, hilarious.

“One of my Elders, Fairy Grass Sprout, will manage all the teams on this mission from the sect. She’s readyi...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 2 🌱)

After Little Spring and I finished our disturbing conversation, I had Unyielding escort me to the Indomitable Will sect’s majestic headquarters.

This was where my martial nephew worked most of the day.

I’d been helping to streamline their paperwork system in exchange for an amount each month that would make a Golden Core Cultivator cry with envy… one that had looked decent before Li...

Story 7 - To Kill Demonic Vines (Part 1 🌱)


With a pivot and a slash, I finished my morning practice under the oak tree in our small, peaceful courtyard.

“Sister Lin! I discovered something good!”

I shrunk my sword back down to its hairpin size and raised a brow at Little Spring, who had recently reached the peak of Qi Condensation. He had done it all on his own too, with only a Qi gathering array and this locationâ€...

Story 6 - Slapping Faces and Entering Sects (Part 27/27🎉)

Sect Leader Peerless Resolve, my martial brother, and I flew over the sect on a leaf shaped immortal boat.

I normally didn’t feel jittery; however, the closer we came to my goal, the more excited I became.

And that was when my old friend had to ruin my mood by reminding me of a few important things.

“I just heard from the Seven Shadows Pavilion. That’s the information collecting arm of the sect.” He explained while glancing at a confused-looking Little Spring. “We ...

Story 6 - Slapping Faces and Entering Sects (Part 26)

I grabbed the rod. It was still scalding, but nowhere near hot enough to hurt my toughened skin. After I pulled it out of the floor, I happily ran toward Zhao XiuYing.

I guessed that I’d frightened the shit out of her because she bolted in the opposite direction.

Yes! Fear me! I am your reckoning. Muahahahaha!

Since I had her on the run, I sent another slash of sword Qi at her back. It hit, but her protective talisman absorbed all the damage.

That forced her to reali...

Story 6 - Slapping Faces and Entering Sects (Part 25)

Little Spring ignored Zhao XiuYing’s snide comment. His eyes lost focus, like he was concentrating on something else entirely.

She drew close and struck toward his temple, using the back of her fan. The kid might look lost in thought, but he deftly blocked her attack with his broken sword. Then he used his Qi strengthened body to throw it back toward her.

To get rid of the momentum, she had to take several steps back.

Even I was impressed that the kid managed that. Her spi...

Story 6 - Slapping Faces and Entering Sects (Part 24)

“Take a minute and reflect on how you feel. What made you act the way you did?”

Little Spring pursed his lips. Then we sat there in awkward silence for several minutes.

What? Did he think he could outwait someone who’d lived a thousand years? Ha!

He clutched his sleeves. “You say that this sect will be our home. I can see how happy you are here. I mean, even though it’s been difficult getting this far, you’ve shown everyone here what I’ve always known. That you...

Plans

For now, I'm slowly going to start building up a backlog of chapters. Hopefully, I'll be able to get enough that I can turn the $5 tier into something more than just a way to give a little more. But it will take a while.
