My ears rang. It made it difficult to hear the crowd. A dull pain from my dislocated shoulder reminded me that I was still alive. When I opened my eyes, the world spun.
Fuck, I’d blacked out earlier, hadn’t I?
I hoped that the body cultivator who punched the puppet toward us would...

After reading everyone's excellent suggestions, I've mostly decided what I'd like to do for July but I'm considering a few options.

2023-06-21 20:36:11 +0000 UTC View Post“I don’t think Pill Saint Five Leaves Medicine will appreciate his long sought-after solution not getting a lecture in the main hall as it deserves. So, I’ll keep my original time slot.”
Ah, Violet pulled out her own Pill Saint. It was super effective. Lina froze for a whole second ...
2023-06-17 07:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostBlazing Lion smiled. “While Fellow Alchemist White Lily did make some excellent points, I don’t agree with her.”
White Lily crossed her arms under her chest and wore an expression that sent so much shade toward the unorthodox cultivator that she’d be living under it for weeks.
Ooooo, that bitch. Violet noticed that Little Spring wasn’t going to mess up, so she decided to force the issue. Knowing her, even though this looked bad she likely had an excuse prepared, one that would make herself look good.
At this point, whether the kid could save this batch, or had ...
2023-06-03 09:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Bright Flame took out his supplies, Violet was in the middle of realizing what I’d known for years... that she’d picked a frustratingly perfect student.
“You don’t have any problems? There has to be something you’re unsure of.”
Little Spring scratched the back of his...
2023-05-25 08:17:56 +0000 UTC View PostI turned to Violet and smirked. “I’m just that good. Actually, considering your advanced age gave you a head start, isn’t tying a loss for you? You should have spoken less nonsense.”
Muahahaha! The look on her face was priceless. A vein popped on her forehead and she glared at me wi...
2023-05-18 08:02:46 +0000 UTC View PostI narrowed my eyes at the silly nerds. “The topic you all chose was — how to overcome a bottleneck in your alchemy...”

2023-05-11 02:20:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe three of us had a pleasant discussion on the Dao of Alchemy. Since we were out in the open, our discussion attracted a crowd of curious alchemy nerds who, when they heard about the topics we were discussing, listened in with rapt attention. At first, it was just one or two. But they sent secr...
2023-05-08 05:30:24 +0000 UTC View PostAs I turned, the first person I noticed was Violet, my old enemy. A white pill beast was wrapped around her shoulders like a scarf. Now and then, it would move slightly, and she’d stroke its head to calm it.
The bitch had a small group of cultivators surrounding her, the most prominent be...
2023-05-01 02:53:41 +0000 UTC View PostFarts were undeniably gross, if a part of nature. While the stinky wind wouldn’t spread fecal matter unless the gaseous individual wasn’t wearing pants, it would still spread hydrogen sulfide, the cause of the rotten egg stench.

“Good to see you again, Little Grass Sprout.”
Her lips twitched. “You as well. You’ve grown since the Demonic Vine Mission.”
Hi Everyone! You are all the best patrons I could ever ask for! So, I'm letting you all decide what I should do next week. There are two choices. A second chapter for Story 9 or a second story for the April Fool's Day story (the one with mechs).

The issue with first-person perspective is that it’s very weird to switch POVs. I rarely do it unless it’s a whole other story. But, it also means that epic battles feel less epic because you’re only focused on one perspective. In the Story 7...
