Returning To The Cultivation World Through A Game Chapter 24

The group then left the place.
With such a large entourage, of course no one dared to stand in their way anymore.
The eagle that Qin Tian and the others were boarding flew in the very back row.
Apart from that envoy, basically no one paid attention to them.
Even though they might just be low-level sect disciples, they were at least from that continent. They couldn't be arrogant towards the people of the continent, but they could at least look down on the people from remote islands.
Of course, they could only look down on people from remote islands like Yang Ming and the others. Some people also came from remote islands but they joined stronger sects. For those people, even they had to pay their respects when they met.
As the eagle he was riding steadily flew, Qin Tian couldn't help but look at the clock in the real world.
It was almost 4 am which meant that he had been in that world for almost four days.
"I can stay here at least three more days." Said Qin Tian.
He began to think of a plan to secure his body when he was out of that world.
"But taking over Hu Lei's body doesn't seem entirely pointless either."
From Hu Lei's memory, he discovered that there were several of Hu Lei's henchmen in the sect, and they weren't weak characters among the sect disciples either.
"I can use them. At least they can do little things for me."
As he thought that, he or Hu Lei immediately sent a message to his henchmen.
The message was simple, it sent information about him, and ordered them to obey his every order and treat him as if he was Hu Lei himself. If they dared to go against him, Hu Lei said in his message that he would kill them all.

He sent such a message because he didn't want to see them doubt and question his identity.
...
About three hours later, Qin Tian and the others suddenly saw an enormous mountain not far ahead of them.
Previously they could not see the mountain because there were many clouds blocking their view.
The height of the mountain was probably over three hundred kilometers, and one thing that caught the eye of the mountain was that it was actually split in two.
In the middle of the mountain, there was a very long river and the river separated the mountain into two even though it was actually only one mountain.
The river was definitely no ordinary river because even from a distance, Qin Tian and the others could see plumes of white mist like clouds floating above the river. They were, of course, no ordinary mist or vapor because even from a distance they could feel an extremely pure aura from them.
Yang Ming and the others who had never seen the world were naturally shocked when they saw the river, but Qin Tian still did not react because he had already seen many such things.
Such things are usually called spiritual springs even though they are not sometimes water. As long as they generate a lot of spiritual energy, they will be referred to as spiritual springs by the people of the sixteen heavens.
"The river is the foundation of our sect." The envoy who was standing at the front began to explain.
"The closer you are to the river, your cultivation will also grow faster. But since your cultivation is still low, you can only become disciples of the outer court first."
"You will become junior disciples when you break through to the sixth layer of Spiritual Apprentice before you turn twenty, and you will be senior disciples as long as you become Spiritual Warriors."

"Very well, I will take you to the residence of the outer court disciples." He then waved his hand.
After which, the eagle they were riding in then flew off in another direction. It flew in a certain direction at the top of the mountain.
As the eagle got closer to the mountain, Yang Ming and the others finally realized that it was a farm.
'....'
Their expressions became strange when they saw that. They look awkward.
The envoy was clearly aware of their awkwardness.
"Ehmm." He cleared his throat.
"One of your duties as outer disciples is to maintain this sect's farm. Don't think that this is just a normal farm, among those plants, there will be some plants that will grow into spiritual plants."
"Well, I won't explain much more, you will understand by yourself later."
Not long after, the eagle they were riding in landed on a lawn in front of the settlement.
It was of course not a small settlement as there were at least five thousand houses there.
Each house even has their own yard.
Right after they got off the eagle's back, an old man then came towards them.
When the old man arrived in front of them, he suddenly cupped his fist towards the envoy and said. "Greetings senior." He even bent his body.
While Yang Ming and the others were stunned once again, Qin Tian only shook his head.
Almost all sects have the same rules. Those who fail to become junior disciples will usually become outer court elders.
Their status was very low, they were considered equal to junior disciples but obviously not a single outer court elder dared to provoke a junior disciple.
And when they met senior disciples, they even had to call them seniors even if they were much older than that senior disciple.
The envoy only nodded lightly in response. He then spoke to the elder.
"They are the new disciples that I brought, their talents are quite good, I hope you take good care of them all. I'm sure they can become junior disciples in the future." He says. He was clearly showing his support for them.
There was a reason why the envoy treated Yang Ming and the others quite well, it was because he was also from a remote island.
"Rest assured senior, this old man will definitely give them a lot of guidance." The old man answered with a sincere smile.
"Mmmm."
He then turned to Yang Ming and the others. He stared at Qin Tian for a moment but still pretended as if nothing had happened.
"From now on all of you have to try hard. If you can become junior disciples, your future path will become wider."
"If you are lucky, you can even become sect elders in the future. At that time, if you return to your island, you can even set up a mortal kingdom there." He said with a faint smile.
"Alright, I'll be going now, I hope we can meet again in a short time."
After saying that, he then jumped onto the eagle's back. And the eagle flew right away after that.
Yang Ming and the others didn't avert their eyes until the eagle disappeared from their sight.
They then turned towards the old man. However, when they looked at the old man once again, they found the friendly smile on the old man's face had completely disappeared.
No, he was still smiling, but his smile looked like a ghostly smile trying to scare off children. He showed his yellow and missing teeth as he smiled.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 1)
This is a coming-of age story of a kobold, set in a rather generic D&D universe. It is adult in that it certainly touches upon some sexuality, but it is far, far from anything that might be considered porn. It is ultimately a tragedy, but so is life. That doesn't mean it has to end badly, just that it has to end.

Three centuries after the god Rynovar claimed Earth as his own domain, ending the Fourth Age of Magic, he ruled the world from a floating continent. Deciding to allow humans a chance at having a wished granted or a question answered, Rynovar created a quest fifty years into his reign. Upon completing the quest, those who undertook it would be granted an audience with him and permission to make a single request or ask a single question. However, two and a half centuries after he issued the quest, none had succeeded and the quest was believed impossible, several stages of it having never before been completed. When nineteen-year-old Cyrus met Lyda at a restaurant, he broke the norm of his life cleaning up his brothers' messes and keeping them behaving to avoid causing issues for the public. Upon hearing her desire to earn enough money to attempt Rynovar's quest, Cyrus chose to help her complete what was believed to be one of the quests' impossible stages, revealing that he himself had a question for the god he wanted answered...
