The way back felt like a completely different path as night approached. The dying light of the sun gave way for the rising full moon shining brightly up above as I sensed the Lunar Qi rising around me.
“Labby can feel it too Great Master. She can feel the moon, like a strange soft thing in her core. Cold but pleas...
2021-11-22 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, apologies for the missed chapter on Friday for all the $10 tier patrons. Life went wonky. I'll be getting the second dose of the vaccine today, so I'll likely be sick. So chapter may take me till wednesday to upload. I'll likely do them in a batch again and catch up, but this is just to inform you that I shall b...
2021-11-20 04:59:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip through the cavern was thankfully, much easier. The cavern was still filled with spirits that wandered, most dead, with only their corpses being moved around. I took care of most of them without much difficulty, burning their bodies to prevent them from rising again.
I felt slightly exhausted, not physically bu...
2021-11-17 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostQi cycled, first in a single cycle. Then in two. The essence of the world stirred around me, moving as if I was a part of the world itself. There was something different in this place. Unlike how I normally needed to hold Qi in my dantian and could only use my Qi, the Qi here moved to my will even when not within my dantian.<...
2021-11-15 16:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostBlack wispy smoke leaked from within, and was neutralised by the Qi around it within a moment, as it only left searing hot vapours that vanished within moments. The miasma to my senses was like a black cloud, almost as if the color of my qi senses were inverted within the area the miasma was present.
It was difficult to...
2021-11-15 16:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostA dark sprawling section spread out in front of Labby, the narrow cavern tunnels and walls expanding into a hollowed dome. Labby sniffed the air, watching as waves upon waves cresting across the lake lying in the middle of the cavern.
Large amounts of Qi swirled beneath the surface of the water, vibrating with power as ...
2021-11-15 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Labby, don’t act rashly and stay away from any infected creature. Call for help if needed and don’t run away like this again. I’ll be mad,” I sent to Labby, making my voice stern. She was a kid, and I was spoiling her too much. I needed to be more stern before she hurt herself in a reckless stunt like this...
2021-11-12 16:02:59 +0000 UTC View Post“Labby can sense a lot of Qi!” Labby exclaimed happily, as we arrived near the location of the Qi vein.
We’d made our way to the forest near Taizhou village, heading straight towards our objective. There really wasn’t any point in waiting, and the faster we moved, the better chances we had of saving tho...
2021-11-12 16:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostI walked through the dirt path that led into the village. Various homes dotted the area, with few people within them, mostly women and children, from what I could sense. From what I could tell from Lu Jie’s memories, Taizhou was a fairly big village compared to his own village. Being near the sect, and within the seven cele...
2021-11-12 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI set out before dawn, right before the sun had begun to rise above the horizon. Purple hues splashed across the sky mixed in with red and blue as the morning sun made its presence known.
Labby sat on my shoulders, her nose sniffing the smell of the grass carried by the early morning breeze. The Qi was gentler this earl...
2021-11-10 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI had been sent a letter with the details of the Quest involved with Yi Liuxiang. I still had a day left, and I decided to use my time to sort through my notes.
Sect Task: Gather the twelve essence spirit lotuses near village Taizhou and look into the rumblings and rousing spirit beasts near the village, scouting th...
2021-11-05 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Young mistress? Please come out, the great master is starting to get concerned,” Zu Ri called from outside the chamber. The older handmaiden could’ve easily entered the chamber at any moment if she wished, something both Yan Yun and Zu Ri were aware of.
Yan Yun buried her face in her knees, not responding as she ...
2021-11-03 21:02:37 +0000 UTC View PostLabby felt Qi thrumming in her core. The vague mass of Qi at the centre of her foundation now slowly but surely solidifying, as slimmers of Lunar Qi began to mingle with the Lightning Qi. A conflicting mixture of a soft gentle Qi, with the volatile thunder waiting to erupt.
Labby could see her understanding of the world...
2021-11-02 17:45:38 +0000 UTC View PostI walked into my room, to the sight of an orange cat lying on its back as a tiny rat sat on top of its belly, licking its paws.
Labby froze for a second, as she saw me come, before she jumped from her table and rushed towards me.
Labby had protected the spirit herb haven from the evil cat, Great Master! Labby ...
2021-11-01 21:01:11 +0000 UTC View PostLabby leapt through the spirit grass, lightning flaring all around her. Qi burned within her with a fervent crackle, as her fur shimmered from the sparkles of lightning surrounding her. She let herself run wild, as she ran through the heaven of spirit herbs all around her.
Her great master had created a miracle! Labby a...
2021-11-01 20:56:50 +0000 UTC View Post“You didn’t know about the library, Lu Jie?” the Old Man asked me and I found myself stuttering. I went through Lu Jie’s memories, trying to find any mention of the library. As it turned out, Lu Jie had heard of the Library when he’d first joined the sect and then had made the extremely smart decision of completely ...
2021-11-01 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostSunlight drifted in through the windows, and I heard the birds chirping in the distance. I was grateful that I could go a week or two without sleep, as last night, that had been spent in a blur of cultivation within my newly established spirit garden, wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.
Paper and scattered books co...
2021-11-01 09:20:38 +0000 UTC View PostI parted ways with Su Lin halfway up the hill, the sect was on. As he handed me my new cauldron, I realised that I could’ve simply stuffed all the herbs inside it, making carrying everything far easier. Feeling a bit stupid while simultaneously amused, surprised and confused from what had happened with Yan Yun, I made my wa...
2021-11-01 09:18:36 +0000 UTC View PostLabby felt her Qi churn as her great master’s Qi meshed with her own. She felt lightning crackling through her being, as a vast calming presence reached out to her. A bond, through which she could sense her great master.
His Qi was like spirit herbs, tinged in their smell, The Qi drew Labby closer, and she felt ...
2021-10-29 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostExam week is rough, but here's a chapter that I managed to somehow write on time, next chapter should be on Friday.

Today was a day of revelations. First the thing about Su Lin, and his crippled brother. Then Zou and now Labby. Admittedly, I really should’ve looked into Labby’s gender before mak...
