《Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class》Chapter 103: Land Immortal???

"I didn't expect an evil soul to look like this. This has truly exceeded my expectations." Qin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Through his divine consciousness, he discovered the evil soul beneath the castle.
He had thought that all evil souls were extremely ugly and fiendish.
However, the evil soul in the castle looked just like an ingot. It was rather adorable—not at all evil.
To stay hidden from the others in the castle, Qin Chuan exchanged for a spell from the Merchant Shop—Beginner-level Earth Burrowing Spell.
"Earth Burrowing Spell: You can burrow through the ground to go anywhere you want without getting discovered."
Qin Chuan had only managed to buy a beginner-level spell. As a result, he could only travel a limited distance, about ten li. But that was enough.
After landing on the ground, Qin Chuan silently chanted an incantation. The ground beneath his feet was like the surface of a river. Ripples suddenly appeared.
Then, he disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in the strange space under the castle.
"Who is it!"
The moment Qin Chuan appeared, the evil soul instantly opened its eyes, vigilantly observing its surroundings.
This space was like a spider web, with the evil soul as the spider.
As long as something came to this space, it would immediately sense it.
Qin Chuan removed his invisibility and appeared in front of the evil soul.
Upon seeing Qin Chuan, the evil soul was astonished.
The masked man was the only person who knew about this space. It was impossible to get here unless the masked man told him.
Hence, it was doubtful of Qin Chuan's identity.
"Who are you?"
"Qin Chuan!"
Qin Chuan didn't try to hide anything. Instead, he directly stated his name.
The evil spirit was stunned. He was familiar with the name. It was the young man who provided the gold.
Instantly, the evil soul became even more alert.
It understood that a person who could sneak up on him had some kind of power.

Qin Chuan's appearance happened to prove what he had said to the masked man earlier. Qin Chuan definitely had some kind of hidden past. It was a wise choice not to seize his gold.
But why did he come here?
Did the masked man offend him?
At this thought, without waiting for Qin Chuan to speak, the evil soul said, "Mr. Qin, do you need any help?"
The evil soul's tone and attitude were like that of service staff. It sounded utterly benign.
Qin Chuan frowned. The evil soul's opening statement was unexpected as well.
As villains, shouldn't evil souls be more domineering and violent?
Does this evil soul have other motives?
Are they putting up a pretense?
Are they trying to get my guard down and then strike while I'm unprepared?
At this thought, Qin Chuan decided to act first for the upper hand. He no longer concealed his strength.
He closed the Breath Concealing Technique.
In an instant, a powerful aura spread out like an explosive shockwave, enveloping the entire space.
The evil soul's body trembled as it felt a terrifying pressure that struck deep into its soul.
"This aura?
"A land immortal???"
The evil souls remembered that in the era when martial arts prospered and martial arts cultivation reached its peak, people like Qin Chuan were called land immortals.
It was lucky enough to meet a land immortal in the past, whose aura left a deep impression on the evil soul. It would never forget that aura.
Now that it could feel the same aura, the evil soul was questioning its life.
At that moment, the evil soul was like a frightened kitten. It shivered everywhere, and its body had shrunk a little.
"Lord, please spare me! Please spare me!"
Qin Chuan had merely released his aura, but he had already frightened the evil soul out of their wits.
He was speechless.
Evil souls have no principles.
At the very least, it doesn't have any dignity.

How disappointing.
The evil soul was kowtowing, and the sound of metal colliding rang out.
Now that the evil soul was so humble, Qin Chuan wouldn't have any pleasure in instantly killing it.
If that's the case, I may as well let it speak.
"What kind of evil soul are you?"
"Avaricious."
Qin Chuan nodded his head in understanding. No wonder it looked like a gold nugget.
"What's your dream?"
"…"
This question was very sudden.
The dream of evil souls was to destroy the world.
However, this avaricious evil soul knew that it would die on the spot if it said that.
It thought for a moment.
"My lord, my dream is to have no dreams."
"…"
This answer was another unexpected one.
"Why don't you have dreams?"
"My Lord, it is because I'm a salted fish; a salted fish that will never rise again."
Qin Chuan was sweating, feeling as though he had encountered a useless evil soul.
But, he couldn't figure out everything from just a few words.
No matter what, the existence of evil souls would affect his cultivation.
Since this evil soul had no dreams and was willing to be a salted fish that won't make a comeback, there was no meaning in its existence. Therefore, it was better to send it to heaven.
When it sensed Qin Chuan's killing intent, the avaricious evil soul panicked.
It did not know what it had said wrong.
I already admitted that I'm a salted fish, yet this man still won't spare me?
Present, the greedy evil soul's desire to live was very strong.
"Lord, please spare my life! I don't want to die, please have mercy!"
The avaricious evil soul pleaded desperately.
Qin Chuan halted his movements and calmly replied, "Since you don't have any dreams, there's no meaning in living. You might as well die."
Upon hearing this, the evil soul realized what it had done wrong.
Its own cleverness had ruined it.
"Lord, I have dreams. I have dreams."
"Tell me about it!" Qin Chuan stopped and looked at it with interest.
"My dream is to live."
Then, the evil soul explained its birth, growth, change of heart, and so on.
It knew very well that it was extremely foolish to have other intentions when facing an expert.
After Qin Chuan heard this, he retracted his killing intent and thoughtfully sized up this evil soul.
"I need a butler now."
There was indeed a shortage of such a person in the Cloud Mountain Guesthouse.
Usually, everyone was cultivating in the sect and rarely went outside.
Although the Cloud Mountain residential area was only used as a cover for the cultivation base, it still needed someone to take care of it.
Due to the unique nature of the Cloud Mountain Guesthouse, Qin Chuan had not been able to find a suitable candidate.
Now, this evil soul was quite to his liking.
After all, it was free labor. He would let it have a try.
If it did well during the probation period, it would become a regular worker.
If it failed, then he could only send it to heaven.
"Master!" The evil soul turned into a skinny old man and bowed towards Qin Chuan.
Evil souls had two forms: their true form and their human form.
The avaricious evil soul's true form was the ingot from earlier.
Now, this old man was its human form.
The human form looked almost identical to normal humans.
Therefore, evil souls were often mixed in with human society.
Qin Chuan only found out about this after conversing with the greedy evil soul.
Qin Chuan gave the evil spirit a name. Because its body resembled an ingot, he named it Jin Bao.
After that, Qin Chuan brought Jin Bao out.
As Jin Bao left, the space under the castle disappeared.
If the masked man knew that his master had run away with another, he would probably be devastated.

God Blade (Hiatus)
Theo, a prodigy of sword and an aspiring adventurer, lives in an RPG-like world where everyone has their own level and skill. However, his is a hardcore RPG world where more than half of its human never gets higher than level one. So who is Theo you ask? Was he a ninja trying to be a leader in his hidden village? Was he trying to be a pirate king? Maybe a teenager summoned from another world? A chosen one of the god? A man whose girlfriend is secretly the demon queen? A cook in a journey to make the greatest dish? Or maybe the reincarnation of an ancient Dark Lord? Well, No. Theo is a man born in that world. An NPC you might say. Not only that, he wasn't even the true hero or the main protagonist of his own world. But he does have to meet all those people during his journey to accomplish his dream. ----- 1 chapter every 2 or 3 days. I don't claim the MC of my story to be not cliched. With so many stories on the internet right now, It's almost impossible if not outright impossible to make an original MC. The best I can do is pick the kind of cliched MC I like the most and give it a twist of my own. English is not my first language, so there will be some mistakes in every chapter. Please notify me in the comment if you found one (Or some). I'm still an inexperienced writer, so feedbacks and reviews are very much appreciated.
8 327Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

8 119The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
