Elixir Supplier Chapter 982

Chapter 982 A Plan“noted.”
all of the unqualified medicine was discharged into the sewage treatment system. truth be told, if these medicines were to be bottled and placed on the shelves, the sales wouldn’t be affected too much. it would have even sold better than most of the similar products. its raw ingredients were better, and the prescriptions were more reasonable and better suited after wang yao’s adjustment. in wang yao’s eyes, it was still unqualified.
in the next two days, they qualified the trial production of the heat clearing powder.
“phew, finally, some qualified products produced,” the responsible producer said.
he had been engaged in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. this was not biological fermentation, so they were faced with many uncontrollable factors. relatively speaking, the preparation of this traditional chinese medicine prescription was simpler and easier because the prescription was ready-made. they just had to add and brew all the herbs according to the prescription and carry out the subsequent filtering, packaging, and other procedures. a one-time success was out of the question. it required only a few tries, but wang yao was quite demanding and particular about the quality.
“this is only a small-scale trial production. if it were a large-scale production, it would probably require much more work and effort.”
this was just a trial production. there were a number of things required to be dealt with through the established procedures.
in the clinic in the mountain village…
a young man, he xiao rui, was receiving treatment for the third time.
his condition had greatly improved. his complexion appeared much better.
it was the same treatment as the previous two. it lasted most of the day.
“after this treatment, i will go to jing with xiaoxue for a period of time,” wang yao said. “i won’t be able to continue with the next treatment. here is the medicine. take it according to the time stipulated. the medicinal bath shall be put aside for the time being.”
“ah, we were also planning to go back to jing. shall we go together?”

“well, no thank you, auntie,” su xiaoxue replied with a smile.
“can’t we proceed with the medicinal bath in jing?”
“we can’t in jing.” wang yao shook his head.
“alright.” the woman was already very satisfied with the condition of her son’s current treatment.
the mother and son had been away from jing for some time, so they wanted to go back as well.
used to life in jing, they were unable to adapt after suddenly coming to such a small county.
wang yao and su xiaoxue spent a day with his parents at home. they didn’t go to the clinic or nanshan hill. they just accompanied and chatted with them. the family was warm and happy together.
the next day, they left the mountain village and flew directly to jing. they arrived in jing on the same day.
song ruiping was very happy to see her daughter back home.
that evening, she arranged for the cooks to make a spread of delicious food.
“come on, come on, eat more.”
“thank you, auntie.” wang yao was only able to express his gratitude. as a result, he ate a lot of food. fortunately, he had a big enough appetite. judging from his current physical condition, if he wanted to eat, he might have been able to devour an entire cow.
the next day was the 15th day of the lunar new year. some places had already prepared lanterns.
festive lanterns were to be enjoyed on the 15th day of the lunar new year.
the festive lanterns in jing were undoubtedly the most vibrant and colorful. many people were coming out to enjoy them.
su xiaoxue was very happy because wang yao had been with her all this while.
the streets were packed like sardines in a can. when people got close to their sides, they were pushed away by invisible forces. no one was able to touch su xiaoxue, not even a corner of her clothes.
that night, the two of them didn’t go home until late at night.
“did you have fun tonight?”

“yes.”
the next morning, the sky was a little gray. that kind of dreary winter weather was not uncommon in jing.
in southern yunnan, thousands of miles away…
in the early morning, a group of people with unknown origins were driving two cars on a temporarily constructed road.
“wait, master wei, are we on the right path? don’t you even have a navigation system?”
“yes, it is this place,” said a young man who was leading them.
“oh, how do people get in and out of such a place?”
“they live in a retreat away from the world. they do not wish to be disturbed by outsiders.”
whoosh… whoosh… whoosh… a sound was coming from the woods.
“ah, what’s the sound?”
“what sound? are you hallucinating?”
“no, i really think i might have seen something as well. do you think there might be tigers, leopards, or the likes in there?”
“bullsh*t. i checked before we came here. there are no such things in these woods. besides, i came here equipped.” the young man took out a crossbow.
“do you know how to use it?”
“get rid of your questioning tone. i have hunted and killed a deer with it before!”
the car continued to slowly drive through the jungle. they were not able to speed up even if they wanted to.
in the valley of thousands of medicine, deep in the jungle…
“who’s there?”
“there are two cars with some young people who have an exaggerated opinion of their abilities.”
“deal with them as you deem fit.”
“yes.”
roar!
“what the f*ck? it’s a leopard! didn’t you say that there were no such beasts in here?”
“what are you afraid of? we are in the car. it can’t get in.”
“brother wei, should we go back?”
“get ahold of yourself! we’re already here and almost there!”
with a bang, a man suddenly fell from the sky. he fell onto the hood of their car. blood was all over his face.
with a screech, the car abruptly stopped. the man was thrown off the car.
“was that a man just now?”
“yes, and he had blood all over his face.”
“you guys stay in the car. i’ll go and have a look.” the young man, who was the leader, got out of the car with his crossbow.
“hey, buddy!” he gingerly stepped out of the car and went to the front of the car. he suddenly froze. there was a pool of blood in front of the car, but no one was there. he went around the car and didn’t even see a shadow.
when the window opened, a young man poked his head out of the window and asked, “how is it?”
“it’s nothing.” master wei’s face turned a deathly pale. his eyes looked dazed. sweat beaded on his forehead.
“no wait, master wei, where’s the person?”
“there’s no one.”
“what? we saw someone just now. his face was full of blood.”
“i said, there’s no one down there. it’s just a pool of blood on the ground!”
“where is the man?”
“how should i know?”
“that’s weird!”
with a thud, the young man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly sprawled out across the dash. he was unconscious and frothing at the mouth.
“xiao yuan, xiao yuan, wake up, wake up! hey!” he shook the other person hard, but he couldn’t get any response from him.
“what’s the matter?”
“is it epilepsy?”
“nonsense, xiao yuan doesn’t have that problem.”
“what should we do?”
“what else can we do? hurry up! turn around and go to the hospital!”
“right!”
the two cars made a very difficult turn on the muddy road before speeding out as fast as they could.
not long after they left, a man came out of the forest and stood on the road. his face was covered with blood.
“ah, these young people. they are so troublesome making me do such hard work and acting for them!”
this wave of intruders seemed to have passed.
the next day, another car entered the jungle looking for the stockade.
“what’s happening here?”

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.
