...You guys know when I joked about how I have been visiting the hospital so often that I might have to get a room for myself there?
Yeah, that happened last Saturday. Apparently, I hadn't been focusing on my health these past few months because of my father's situation, even after his operation to remove the cancerous area had been successful, the uneasiness of the follow-up treatment and the coming reports had quite an effect on me now that I see it.
I had lost some kgs but didn...

A few minutes later, Fu Yuzhe left the estate, he wasn’t allowed to his sister because he was using the excuse of being on a mission. But he stepped out of the village finding solace in looking at his sister’s Life medallion.
“I didn’t have much expectations of him, but he surprised me. Desperation always makes people do more than they could normally.” Gu Changge reeled in his Qi sense as Yuzhe ran down a path leading to the nearby Jizu Province, his eyes however went to Li Li...

“Ling Su and Pi Yun put Lao Shu in a pit of poisonous insects.” His command didn’t come as a surprise to anyone but the rat face.
Two of his subordinates jumped into action, and before Lao Shu could even understand what happened he was carried out of the room by the burly Ling Su as his limbs and mouth were tied by the pig-faced Pi Yun.
“I apologize, Brother Fu, to think that a mere handyman like that will insult you not once but twice.” Gu Changge smiled like a Buddha. ...

In the middle of a wheat field full that swayed like a golden ocean, a small single-story house with a slanted roof stood robustly under the mellow sun of the evening, with a stone city wall in the distance the ground near the sole path that the connected the two places moved. A new life had reared its head from the embrace of Mother Earth, the slender shoot emerged, basking in the warmth of the sun. Pale and tender at first, it stretched skyward with an innate determination. Tiny green leave...

Back at the Sect, I picked Kexin from the exclusive residence area on the northern side of the Outer Sect. It was a special area prepared for disciples of the Elders or for people who could pay 80 spirit stones per month to live there. It had a set of servants to take care of meals and cleaning along with access to a small room built into a Formation array building for meditation. However, that place wasn’t suitable for her to start things off.
We stood in front of a solid rockface in...

I am sorry for the long wait. I apologize deeply for not being able to stand true to my words and letting your hard-earned money go to waste.
The point is that I have been frequenting the hospital too much these days with my father, the travel and the wait time for treatment are substantial considering my dayjob. At this point, I feel like I may have to get admitted too.
Regardless, I have been working to create more time for writing.
I'll do a mass update of four chapters t...

“…What do I have to do?” Getting himself together, Yuzhe spoke with caution.
“It isn’t much different from what you were about to do.” I smiled seeing his confusion. “You have to take the Three-mouthed centipede back to them.”
“T-That…” Yuzhe’s eyes widened.
He never would’ve thought that I’d let him go there after all this, however, it wasn’t as simple as it looked on the surface. I don’t want the Demonic Cultivators to think that anything we...

Qingyun City, Qingyun Province.
Amid heavy rain, the once lively streets of the vibrant city had turned even darker at night. Among the numerous houses and pagodas, most stayed shrouded in darkness. Even soldiers dared not venture out with their lamps to check the back alleys as the roaring thunder kept everyone up in their beds.
In the quiet corner of the city, a run-down building barely held itself together in the violent winds, the oil lamp’s light came out o...

“For the next reward, may I have a chance to face Master in a duel?”
Of all the things Sun Lingling could’ve asked for, it was this. However, I did give my word so there wasn’t any need to step back from this, and it was a good opportunity to push Wang Yang.
“Only if you can reach Foundation Establishment by the end of this year.” Seeing her current speed and the things I have planned; this would only be a little hard for her to complete this.

The morning on Plum Peak started normally even if I arrived later than the given time. Sun Lingling had already entered her new cultivation room, or from the looks of the Formation’s runtime, she hadn’t left since last night, on the other hand, Wang Yang was in the library reading novels to train his comprehension. Entering the kitchen, an intruder was eating a bowl of chilly oil noodles like it was his own house.
“Yo partner, I finished the rooms yesterday.” Chen Zhipeng smiled...

Exiting the bedroom, I opened the door next to it. Inside was a well-lit room, but aside from a cushion in the middle and inscriptions that ran through the white floors and walls, nothing else was there, not even windows. The Divine Grade rooms of the Xu Inn had a cultivation room, each equipped with a lesser version of the five-element array to help provide an optimal atmosphere for the guest.
With the white jade token placed on the cushion, it took a few minutes to set the array to ga...

Fifth Dormitory, Sky Peak.
On a Peak covered with a lush green forest full of tall trees, a singular path scaled up before branching into off into directions. Lu Liang ran up this path to rush into his dormitory, it was a simple two-floor black pavilion with a slanted stone roof where disciples and instructors lived.
Some greeted him on the way, but he couldn’t even register them. Almost stumbling over the stairs to the second floor, he caught himself with a huf...

“Wu Kexin, would you be willing to be my Disciple?” Li Muchen’s question froze Kexin’s brain.
That proposal came out of nowhere. Why would a Peak Master be willing to take in an Outer Sect Disciple? Especially when the disciple in question had Earth Grade Low-Rank Spiritual Root. There had to be a reason for this, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. This was the famed Second Peak Master of the Azure Sky Sect.
Wait… could it be that? Staying in the sect for a wee...

The next day arrived with a clear sky, the bright sun giving its blessing to the land below as the roosters let out their cries pointing their beaks at the early birds. The residents of the Plum Peak Main building were stirred awake.
Wang Yang left his room and headed for the well in the garden to wash his face, it took him a few minutes to reach the main kitchen after that where he found Sun Lingling picking up a few jade bottles of nutrient pills for the day. However, his master, Li M...

It should take him about another day or two to get the correct combination once. A few more weeks before he can do it with every swing. Sun Lingling’s focus zeroed in on the raised sword.
It came down in a straight line, showing a little experience and understanding of the weapon as the edge remained straight. Wang Yang leaned forward to shift his body weight behind the swing.
With a resounding thud, the dull blade struck the wooden forehead, yet it sounded like a clash...

The main Travel path of the Azure Sky Sect was a complex yet simple one. Starting at Tiger Peak it went to Chrysanthemum Peak, Peach Peak, Osmanthus Peak, and Sky Peak before connecting back to Tiger Peak to form a circle.
To reach Plum Peak one had to take the forked path in front of Chrysanthemum Peak, while a path from every Peak led up to Lotus Peak. It connected the seven peaks passing through dense forests, over rivers, lakes, and even valleys, making it easier for disciples to re...

Today marked the end of the first week of Wang Yang cultivating at Osmanthus Peak. But, unlike the first week, Li Muchen wasn’t here to watch over him. Even the three-hour journey between the two peaks was left up to the young disciple.
I only have another hour left. All Spirit stones placed in the slots had turned grey aside from one.
In the middle of this room with eyes closed, he started to breathe slow and steady till the air filled his lungs. The chest felt bloated...

Master, it has been a week since I started. Why can I not enter the 1st stage of Qi Refining?
It is because your mind wants to search for power. Thus, you are subconsciously absorbing more of Fire Qi, creating an imbalance of Elements in your body. That is the crux of the problem.
But, I need power… that way I’ll be able to…
I am not saying that seeking power is bad. But, when cultivating there is one thing more important than seeking str...

Seated on the veranda, Wang Yang read through the first chapter. His eyes squinted as he muttered the words on the page, trying to memorize them.
“It is confusing, isn’t it?” My sudden question startled Wang Yang. But, he regained his cool soon. Maybe I should make some intentional noise while walking around him.
“Very confusing.” He said.
For a first-timer, these terms and lines would become confusing, and the methods also had a more flowery language than normal. ...

As Wang Yang entered his room, I followed him in. His face showed how puzzled he was.
“I need to ask you a few questions.” Wang Yang’s face didn’t change at all.
“Is it about Elder Ning?” He guessed it right.
“Yes. Did he add something like a verbal agreement or a contract of sorts to stop you from speaking?” If he had done that, I’d have to work my way around it.
“Nothing like that. He came in and asked me to be his disciple.” He paused for a bit...

Wu Kexin was a name I heard of often from Wang Yang. He couldn’t stop talking about her even two hundred years later. Their births happened on the same day, and they have been together since then. In his own words, Kexin was like his real Big sister even without a blood relation.
The reason he crawled to the sect from the ditch and cultivated under me was to find her. But, we never got anything about her whereabouts till the end. So, if asked about Wu Kexin, she was very dear to my di...

But, the moment I stepped out, someone stood there, waiting for me in the vicinity. Like a snake, stalking its prey.

Alongside the antidote giving them a recovery and healing pill was a good idea. It helped them overcome the minor injuries or damage their bodies suffered because of the poison. As mortals, they were much more fragile than cultivators, though low levels of Qi helped them get off with minor damage.
