《Cultivation Chat Group》Chapter 8. Soft Feather and Luo Xin Street
Advertisement
“It’s good that nothing happened, I feel relieved now. I will inform Soft Feather, so that she won’t worry, and to avoid her wasting a trip towards H City.” North River’s Loose Practitioner entered a reply soon after.
Song Shuhang felt that North River’s Loose Practitioner was basically online for all 24 hours everyday, he did not know how this person had so much energy. Could it be that his online habits are coincidentally the same as himself, the one with the name Song? Which was why every time he came online he happens to encounter North River’s Loose Practitioner.
That’s not right…… When Song Shuhang was online, he was online. When Song Shuhang was offline, he was still online, because every time Song Shuhang came online the chat records he sees all had North River’s Loose Practitioner included inside it.
It was like he didn’t need sleep at all, as if he was a sacred warrior of the internet.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but worry, because as of right now, the number of sudden deaths due to overnight computer usage are so high, if North River’s Loose Practitioner continues on like that will he someday die a sudden death too?
This shall be noted down as well…… When the time comes to leave the group I better advise him.
Song Shuhang continued to pull the scrollbar downwards.
After Su Clan’s Ah Qi was done talking, he greeted everybody once more, then went offline.
Subsequently, at around 5AM in the morning, Medicine Master came online and uploaded a photo, then added a question mark after the photo.
That is a picture of a plant, one that Song Shuhang has never seen before.
This plant grew curved, like a coiling dragon. At the tip of the plant there was a line of thorns, while the rhizome was purplish black, it was a very peculiar plant, with many great points which were worth admiring.
“Poison Dragon Grass huh, Medicine Master do you have a need for this again? Didn’t you cultivated some not too long ago?” North River’s Loose Practitioner was once again the first to reply.
“Experiment, all died.” Medicine Master then sent a depressed emoji. Furthermore, that batch of Poison Dragon Grass’ quality wasn’t very good.
“Alright, I will contact you if I manage to get some. If the others see it they will definitely notify you as well.” North River’s Loose Practitioner replied.
“Want alive.” Medicine Master added one more reply.
Poison Dragon Grass…… From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like a kind plant, it can’t be that it’s also for concocting pills, right? Will it poison someone to death?
Song Shuhang was a little worried, he kept feeling that the people in the group were very good at seeking death.

Wait, there seems to be something fishy here.
Song Shuhang’s hand trembled for a moment, his fingers moved back a little, up to where Su Clan’s Ah Qi had replied, then looked at it one more time.
“There were several…… Yep, there were dozens of tactless ordinary people knocked unconscious by Ah Shiliu, no one died.”
This sentence gave Song Shuhang a weird feeling, because he automatically thought of the group of delinquents that were wiped out……
It can’t be such a coincidence right? If one were to say all of these were a coincidence, then the number of coincidences recently is a little too much isn’t it!?
“Perhaps I should look at it from a different perspective, perhaps it’s not a coincidence, it’s just me overthinking things.”
“People are always like that, when they have doubts towards a certain topic in their hearts, they bring many unrelated things together to forcibly form a conclusion. Just like when suspecting someone stole their money, they will link many events onto this person’s head, and the more they look at that person the more they think they are looking at a criminal.”
He felt that his current state of mind was perhaps the ‘suspecting someone is a thief’ mindset.
I can’t over think this anymore, if I continue to think about it I will go astray just like the people in the group. Song Shuhang did a lazy stretch, and prepared to go for a jog.
The time of the day lies in the morning, moreover he felt his physique decline, he hasn’t fully recovered from the flu and cough that has lasted for more than 10 days, and still coughs from time to time, it’s torture!
So he came up with an idea, and decided to run 1.5km in the morning to toughen his body.
The goal is to persevere morning jogs for a whole month!
**********
At the same time, in Jiang Nan region’s airport.
A lady with waist-length hair walked out of the airport with a large suitcase. She had white skin, was tall, had long legs. She wore a white T-shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of sneakers for her slender feet, looking youthful and pretty.
However, at this time the long-haired lady had a vexed expression as she looked around the gigantic airport, “I dislike large places like this the most, it’s so easy to get lost.”
Subsequently, she took out her cellphone, and fiddled with it.
**********
Sweating all over from his morning jog, Song Shuhang felt freshness and clarity, something he hasn’t felt for a long time.
When he passed by the dining hall he bought a steamed stuffed bun and soy milk as breakfast, and returned to the dormitory after his rapid and shallow breaths stabilized.

It’s Sunday and there’s still a whole day of free time left, what should I do?
Should I go window read?
Nibbling on the steamed stuffed bun, Song Shuhang thought inside.
He then casually turned on the computer, and got onto the school’s webpage. Because he cared about the matter regarding the delinquents being knocked unconscious, he continued to pay attention to it.
However, there wasn’t a following report regarding the delinquents wiped out on the school’s webpage, because the pitiful delinquents were still lying on the hospital beds, and not a single one had shown any signs of being about to gain consciousness yet.
Which was why there was no way to find out who or what beat them into such a state.
The students that previously visited them had brought this up before, even though they were unconscious, the delinquents would from time to time make moans from pain. Due to their numbers being so great, they were placed into an enormous ward by the hospital. An approximate of 80 people’s miserable shrieks, that scene was simply too beautiful, and extremely tragic.
“It it was only being knocked unconscious, they should wake up within a day or two, shouldn’t they? It can’t be that these delinquents have been beaten into vegetables, right?” Song Shuhang softly spoke to himself.
While letting his thoughts drift, he once again opened the chat group.
During the time he went for a jog and had breakfast, there was a lot more new information in the group.
Spiritual Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather (Online via mobile): “Senior North River, I have already arrived at Jiang Nan region’s airport. Does senior Ah Qi’s side require any assistance?”
North River’s Loose Practitioner was expected, online. He rapidly replied, “Soft Feather, you’ve finally came online, Ah Qi had already found Ah Shiliu during the wee hours, and left H City. You need not worry about them, and can directly proceed to J City to deal with your matters at ease.
“If nothing bad happened then all is well.” Soft Feather replied, then added another line, “Has senior Ah Qi already left H City?”
“Yes, he left at dawn.” North River’s Loose Practitioner returned with another question, “Could it be that you need Ah Qi for something, Soft Feather?”
Soft Feather sighed, “Actually…… I was hoping to meet up with senior Ah Qi, if would be best if somebody accompanied me to J City if possible. I am not too familiar with H City, Jiang Nan region and J City, I’m afraid that I might not be able to find my destination.”
“Where are you going to? Right now cellphones have a function called navigation, it’s very useful. It must be said that the inventions by modern people have many convenient uses.” North River’s Loose Practitioner passionately recommended, many people in the group were unfamiliar with modern technology, North River’s Loose Practitioner could be considered as someone ‘modern’ here.
Hey, hello? Isn’t there some problems with you two’s conversation? Isn’t this a classical Xianxia chuunibyou assembly point? Shouldn’t you be recommending some ancient map instead? Or some compass-like treasure?
If raised one level higher, he can even accept to open a teleportation portal, but he just can’t accept cellphone navigation.
“I’ve tried it before, but the navigation software can’t find the place I want to go to.” Soft Feather gloomily replied.
Of course she knows how to use navigation, fact was she’s only 25 this year, there was no difference between her and people of modern times in some regards. However, she was just more knowledgeable when it comes to ‘the real world’ than other modern youngsters.
“Moreover, I’m bad with directions, I might not be able to find my destination even if I had navigation.” Soft Feather added on.
North River’s Loose Practitioner consoled: “No matter, after you advance to the 5th Stage and are able to lift yourself into the air, with a higher viewpoint you won’t lose your way again. As for now, you can get a taxi, usually, as long as there is an address, taxi drivers are able to send you to the destination. However, be careful not to enter an unlicensed taxi.”
“Thank you senior, I will try that.” Soft Feather thanked, if nobody suggested, she herself would have forgotten that there was a convenient mode of transport like taxis.
North River’s Loose Practitioner added on, “Where are you trying to go, Soft Feather? If you really can’t find the place, I can help to ask if there are any fellow daoists in the vicinity, perhaps they could lend a hand.”
“It’s in a part of J City called Luo Xin Street, there should be an ancient temple there named Ghost Lamp Temple. The place I want to go to is this ancient temple!” Soft Feather quickly replied.
“Alright, I got it. I’ll help you ask around, and will contact you if there’s any information.” North River’s Loose Practitioner replied.
“Senior, I can’t thank you enough!” Soft Feather sent a smiley and then posted, “I’ll go find a taxi.”
Jiang Nan region’s airport.
That long-haired girl with a slim waist and long-legs pulled along a large suitcase, and walked out of the airport quickly. Her beautiful figure left many males she passed by unable to resist staring blankly at her.

Good Guy Necromancer
Necromancers are murderous, repulsive, utterly ungodly creatures. And then there's Jerry. Jerry is a novice necromancer who treats his undead warmly, seeks to befriend people instead of harvest their bodies, and doesn't mind cracking a skull or two when needed. He genuinely is a good guy—too bad nobody believes him. Jerry tries to settle down, wanting nothing but a peaceful life for him and his undead—and, when that doesn't quite work out, he sets out to adventure. He will make friends, each unique in their own way, and together, they will travel through a variety of striking environments; from a tiny village, to the land of the dead, to a jolly archipelago, to a kingdom on a beanstalk. To save a world that shuns him, Jerry must stand against a large organization of arrogant, mighty wizards. He strives to become stronger while maintaining his kindness, only to realize that, maybe, gentle hearts make the greatest necromancers. This is the story of a delightful man in a harsh world—full of warmth, action, and wise-cracking bone puns. Chapters are usually 2-3k words, and updates are 3/week: Mon, Wed, Fri. If you're looking for another fun, action-packed adventure, check out Cultivator vs. System by yours truly, available on Kindle, KU, and Audible. But read Good Guy Necromancer first.

8 188The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.
8 129Pocket Dungeon Lite
Based on the Pocket Dungeon original novel made by Stuckin (I asked for his permission beforehand). I do not know if this could count as a fanfiction as I made up many elements on the go so, for now, I will list this as an original but if Stuckin-sama would like me to change it I will be fine with doing so. This is somewhat of a self-insert but I made sure not to make the MC to OP. Also, the creator of the cover is Vurguy I tried to contact him to ask for permission but couldn't due to technical issues please go support him on Deviant Art and I don't own the picture so if he wants me to take it down than I am completely okay with doing so. As I am an improving author, I am glad to receive any constructive criticism or critical review I just hope that everyone will give me a chance before they yell at me for something or at least tell me what made them angry so I know what the issue is and can figure out how to deal with it. For now, my schedule is 1-2 chapters a week and if I am busy with either work or school 1-3 chapters every 2 weeks. I expect a bunch of chapters at the beginning around 5 or so and for me to continue from there. I will try my best to keep some chapters in storage for any time where I can't write for whatever reason. I will continue to change this part of the synopsis if anything changes in my update schedule. - From a thoughtful Author Pocket Dungeon is a widespread interstellar game that has captivated the attention of many races and civilizations. Nowadays in the 2300s anyone not living under a rock would grow up with a dungeon and learn to manage it over time as they make mistakes along the way. But as all things go there is always an exception and this exception can be found in Nadezhda Ledopad who had an overprotective family that didn't let him interact with anything but those they deemed worthy and safe. This overprotectiveness caused them to forbid him from gaining a pocket dungeon as they knew with his intelligence and specialties in certain fields he would become a strong dungeon master, quickly. This was something his family was very much against as they knew that his competitiveness and duty to maintain the Ledopad family's reputation would push him to win in the competitions that he would inevitably get invited too. This all changed when Nadezh graduated high school and moved to the Celestial Plane capital star as a Prodigal student in planetary conservation (major) and revival of species through DNA transferal (minor). His brother in all but blood Tet schemed to get him into Pocket Dungeons when they got there as no one would keep Nadezh from playing. Nadezh excited to join his peers in this famous game looked forward to doing so. But with this one decision, many futures changed and the Fates laughed as people of strong destinies meet together on this plane. Warning - This will probably contain LGBT+ relationships. You have been warned, I will not tolerate stupidity to the ninth degree in the comment section and I hope that people can be logical enough to GO AWAY if they don't like this kind of thing. If you don't feel comfortable with mature or explicit scenes I will put a warning in the chapters or parts with such and I just wanted all of you to know that this will be a long novel as with most novel I will write in the future so don't expect a deep romantic relationship anytime soon.
