《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 686B – ‘Great Person’
Advertisement
Elder Liu Zang and Grandmaster Qi had increasingly ugly complexions, but they didn’t speak. This boy was clearly not some minor character if Sky Declaring Pavilion was able to make such concessions. They didn’t want to create a personal enemy here.
But if they let go of the Mu Family uncle and niece like this, they wouldn’t have any face left. At the very least they needed to look for an appropriate reason.
In the awkward silence, Mu Xuan coughed after she tumbled down from the box. Her eyes slowly opened. After a brief bout of dizziness, she saw her uncle who was being held as well as Qin Yu standing out from the crowd.
Mu Xuan was stunned. She bit her lips and slowly lowered her head.
But this second of pause was enough for others to see. Grandmaster Qi’s eyes brightened and he stared at Qin Yu. “Fellow daoist, do you recognize this woman?”
Qin Yu’s lips curled up as if he were smiling and also not smiling. He looked at Qi Yunshan, his expression light, “I know that you have an intense thought in your heart that is causing you to suffer inside, and you fervently desire to know the answer. Then, I will satisfy your curiosity. That’s right, the bracelet you are searching for is with me.”
Feng Qing’s eyes widened and she was increasingly sure of her guess. This seemingly ordinary black-robed youth had to be some fathomless existence.
Otherwise, how would he dare to recklessly provoke Qi Yunshan while he was in such a sensitive and easily agitated state?
Qi Yunshan’s eyes brightened and his face flushed red with excitement. He fixed his eyes on Qin Yu, his voice hoarse as he said, “Are you speaking the truth?”
Qin Yu nodded, “Of course.”
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yunshan cupped his hands together and said, “Fellow daoist, my name is Qi Yunshan and I have some minor achievements in the path of alchemy. If I unintentionally offended you today, I ask you to not blame me.
“That bracelet is an ancestral item of my Qi Family and is extremely important to our future generations. If fellow daoist is willing to return it, I will pay any price necessary. Moreover, from here on out, fellow daoist will be my good friend and the most honored guest of my Qi Family.”
He didn’t even mention Mu Tong or Mu Xuan. After determining the whereabouts of the bracelet, they didn’t have the qualifications for him to pay attention to them. Whether they lived or died, none of that mattered to him anymore.

“Although I have no idea whether your words are true or false, your offer is indeed sincere. Unfortunately, I am also interested in this bracelet and I have no intention of getting rid of it.” Qin Yu lightly said, “So, I must refuse.”
Hiss –
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as their eyes widened and their faces filled with disbelief. This was simply completely disregarding the honor of an alchemy grandmaster, an action that was not much different from a loud slap to the face. Did this person really not fear thoroughly angering Grandmaster Qi?
Qi Yunshan barely held back his anger. “Fellow daoist really doesn’t plan on considering this any further?”
Qin Yu pointed a finger. “I will only say this. Let go of the Mu Family uncle and his niece and do not disturb them any more after this. If you do that, I won’t pursue this matter any further.”
Big Pig’s field of vision flashed black. Big brother, if you were fine and totally healed then killing him would be as simple as crushing an ant. But right now you are nothing more than a paper tiger! If you play around too much you might play yourself into an early grave!
But with things having reached this point, Qin Yu knew that he could only continue to the very end. If he revealed even the slightest trace of weakness, he would immediately be seen through.
“Good! Very good!” Qi Yunshan’s complexion clouded over. “I have no idea where you came from or who you are, but since you chose to make me your enemy, I will not take a single step backwards nor will I make any concessions towards you…hand over the bracelet, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Bang –
A powerful aura erupted from his body!
Qin Yu’s pupils shrank a little and he revealed a cold expression. He exuded the dignity of a superior being, like a god looking down upon all from the highest heavens.
“Grandmaster Qi!” Feng Qing suddenly shouted out, “I’ve already said that I hope you two can restrain yourself and not come into conflict within Sky Declaring Pavilion! Please understand!”
Qi Yunshan was without expression. “Alright, then I will go…” Before his voice fell, he lifted a hand and a shadow flew out, exploding forward like an arrow.
In a flash, this shadow arrived in front of Qin Yu. It opened its mouth and revealed sharp teeth that ruthlessly bit down at him. A fierce and crazy light shined in Qi Yunshan’s cruel eyes.

If he could obtain the Chain of Stars, his alchemy strength would rise by an entire level, allowing him to become a genuine alchemy grandmaster in the truest sense of the word.
At that time, even Great Dao realm existences would have to give him sufficient respect. For this reason he was even willing to provoke formidable enemies!
A true alchemy grandmaster could erupt with a strength that could suppress a powerful sect, even an ancient inheritance clan! Thus, Qi Yunshan chose the perfect opportunity to attack without hesitation.
But the plot didn’t proceed in the direction he expected it to. When that terrifyingly fast shadow bit down through Qin Yu’s skin, it seemed to be struck by thunder and had its acupuncture points pressed. It froze where it was.
The shadow felt a terrifying suppression that came from the bloodline level, making it feel as if it faced its invincible natural enemy. Fear gushed out from deep in its soul, thoroughly submerging its consciousness. All that remained was a trembling fear and abject despair.
“Dragon blood monster spirit!”
There was a sudden cry of alarm. Everyone looked at the gray phantom that was biting down on Qin Yu’s neck, its snake-like body covered in dragon scales, and their faces paled. When they looked at Qin Yu again, it was like they were witnessing an unimaginable miracle, their eyes full of awe.
A cold sweat appeared on Qin Yu’s back. He had no idea what a dragon blood monster spirit was, but he had undoubtedly made a round trip to death’s door just now. Luckily, this thing seemed to have an extreme fear towards the Ancient race. After touching his blood it was directly suppressed.
He silently vowed to himself that he would never do something so dangerous again. The sense of powerlessness he felt when on the verge of death was something truly disgusting.
But on the surface, Qin Yu’s expression didn’t change. He calmly lifted a hand and took down the ‘dragon blood monster spirit’ that was biting his neck. With a temperate look he said, “What a naughty little fellow. It’s good that you stopped fast enough, otherwise you would have died by now.
“I don’t blame you because this wasn’t your original intent. But those that offended me shall never be allowed!” Qin Yu looked up, his pitch black eyes locking onto Qi Yunshan. The iciness in them seemed capable of freezing everything, extinguishing all things in the world.
Bang –
A terrifying aura, like a great beast awakening from slumber or a thousand volcanoes blowing up at once, erupted from his body. As if he looked down upon the world with disdain, as if he could step on a trillion stars beneath his foot.
The air turned thick and viscous. It submerged everyone like an invisible swamp. The suppression was so terrifying that even breathing was impossible.
Buzz –
Buzz –
Sky Declaring Pavilion’s defensive array formation immediately activated beneath this impact. A radiant divine light shined with a cold brilliance. But at this time it could only shrink, not daring to approach Qin Yu in the least.
Because at this moment, the strength of the entire array formation was suppressed!
Qin Yu stared at Qi Yunshan, his voice seeming to come from the depths of hell. “Tell me. How do you want to die?”
The world fell deathly silent!
Countless people fell to the ground. It was like an invisible hand clutched at their hearts. Fear and horror tumbled in their eyes.
“Peak of the Calamity Immortal realm…no, this can compare even with the Great Dao realm!” Feng Qing screamed out in her mind, her complexion paling. She had once come into contact with this kind of existence that neared the summit of this world, thus she knew how terrifying they were.
They could summon wind and rain with a flip of their hands; they could erase a trillion lives with nothing but a thought!
Qi Yunshan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His entire body froze and he couldn’t even think straight. But, he now knew what sort of existence he had offended.
Great Dao realm…it was actually the Great Dao realm…
It was over, it was all over!
Perhaps even the entire Qi Family would be implicated by him and suffer total annihilation!
“Great Dao realm!” A deep voice suddenly rang out. Ripples spread in the imprisoned space and a white-haired old man appeared. As he arrived, Sky Declaring Pavilion’s suppressed array formation erupted with an even more formidable aura, instantly locking onto Qin Yu.
“Just who are you? You had best give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise with your initial Great Dao realm cultivation, you still don’t have the qualifications to be so insolent in Sky Declaring Pavilion!”

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 1 chapter per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] The cover art is courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx.

High School DEATH GAMES
"'Why,' a woman asked me, 'would they show a movie with things I do not want to see?' She is not unusual. Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds." - From the Great Roger Ebert Be forewarned, this story is not for everyone. It's not even for some people. This is for just a select few who get wet from misery and excited by suffering. This is no level up, power up, let's kill monsters, op mc, fantasy land, standard litrpg garbage you find in basically every other story on this site. If the rest of RoyalRoad is shounen (which it is), then this is Gantz/Berserk. Sorry. I lied. This is darker than Berserk and bloodier than Gantz. Not a manga fan? Then how about Korean cinema? Have you heard of Kim Ki-duk? His works The Isle, Moebius, and Pieta all come to mind. Again, this is not for normal people. There's a bunch of other normal stories for normal people to read. The whole rest of the site library is for normal. This is a special section set aside for a special type of story meant for a special kind of people. If you follow or favorite this, you're telling the whole world that you're a little different. A bit twisted. I guess you could call it the BDSM of reading. Which segues perfectly into the introduction. Are you kinky? Are you familiar with the taboo? Have you ever thought about the depths of human depravity? What I'm trying to ask is, do you like fucked up shit? Do you like massacres and public shamings? Do you like watching people fall into despair, going insane, or turning into psychopaths? Do you get turned on when love is destroyed and hedonism reigns king? Well, I've got the perfect story for you! If you're uncomfortable with profanity, gore, sexual and traumatising content, then I recommend you move on. I won't judge you just cause you're a pussy. And I'm not talking about the fake labels of the other candy ass stories on this site who think their shit is morbid or even remotely disturbing, I'm talking about the shocking, offensive, real fucked up shit that you can't even use incognito mode for and you gotta install Tor browser. (You don't actually need to install Tor, you idiot.) If you love that shit or even if you're just curious, then read on. I swear it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's much worse. - Signed with no love, Marley (written by a friend in the voice of Marley) Unapologetic, cynical, pretentious, pessimistic, hypocritical, selfish, sarcastic, passive, apathetic asshole main character named Marley. Alternate POV: Badass, intelligent, proactive, loving, nice, friendly, optimistic co-main character Sophia. This is essentially a rough draft. Grammar and spelling has been read through and fixed for the most part. If you don't like something, tell me why you don't like it. Don't just rate it low anonymously. Thanks.
