《Sword Immortal's Rebirth》Chapter 26: Formation Spirit
Advertisement
After his spar with Qinglan Weiwei, he understood the essence of the techniques she was training in. Using this essence to create a spear technique for her that would unify the 8 layers of Body Transformation she had gained insight into and use the momentum to awaken the Daoheart wouldn’t be too difficult.
The only difficulty would be for Qinglan Weiwei who would be training this technique. While this technique was especially tailored for her, grasping it still required adequate talent, perseverance and a moment of enlightenment.
‘Let’s create this technique after that matter with the Longfei sisters.’ Thinking this, Heifeng Jiansui entered their bedroom. Having entered without saying a single word of warning or courtesy, unexpectedly an enticing scene was taking place––––
Two nude bodies were wrapped around each other, burying themselves into lust. Being twins, the two sisters had bodies that were in perfect likeliness of each other and had a invisible sense for each other, thus while performing a dual-cultivation technique, they were unexpectedly talented.
Soft moans emitted from their exquisite lips as they grinded their lower halves against each other and their hands grabbed at the other’s intimate parts. With amazing technique, the sisters simultaneously carried each other’s body to orgasm.
Seeing the performance of the two twins with voyeuristic eyes, Heifeng Jiansui felt desire well up from the depth of his body, even though he should be physically unable due to lack of the required hormones. He quelled the desire and watched while suppressing his presence, hiding in plain sight.
After some time, the exchange of fluids successfully created a path connecting the bodies of the two. Energy began circulating in a large circuit and their two bodies were purified with the essence of qi. The revolution of qi built up to gather into a vortex and the twins were only a step away from breakthrough. Cautiously, they stopped at this moment; Heifeng Jiansui’s instructions were clear.
They had purified themselves, exercised and cultivated as well. All preparations were complete. Longfei Yanyang sent a message to Heifeng Jiansui via the talisman that he had given her. Moments later, his figure seemed to appear from nowhere.
“Y-Young master, your movement technique is truly unfathomable. It seemed as if you appeared from nowhere!” Yanyang remarked this as Shanxue nodded. Heifeng Jiansui didn’t reveal that he had been hiding his presence, simply nodding.
Seeing the two girls blushing, still naked and wrapped around each other, he slyly spoke, “That Yin-Yuan Dragon-Phoenix Art is supposed to be profound and difficult to grasp, but you have successfully cultivated its foundation stage already. You could have easily broken through as a cultivator, but your foundations are still not good enough… Lets clear out your meridians, then.”

With a single step, he appeared before the girls and applied ointment to their bodies. Their bodies energy channels were still not disconnected, and this ointment would help sustain this connect. After applying a few more herbal concoctions and ointments on their bodies while massaging them, Heifeng Jiansui finally started his acupuncture treatment by pinning needles all over their bodies.
A numbing sensation flashed over their bodies along with the stench of a rotten fish as impurities were expelled from their meridians. At this point, Heifeng Jiansui cleared out the impurities by summoning water and wind. The twins’ bodies were now pure and untouched as the day that they had been born.
But this wasn’t the limit. “Well, I am going to give something precious to you. Obtaining this took a lot of my savings, so you’ll have to work extra hard in the future.” Saying this, two vials of blood appeared in Heifeng Jiansui’s hands, causing the twin sister’s hearts to beat furiously on sensing it.
Dragon and Phoenix blood! Heifeng Jiansui had used his allowance of Elemental Jades for the first time to buy dragon and phoenix blood from the Imperial Palace. He generously applied the blood on the bodies of the twins, melding them into their bloodlines.
Finally, twin shadows of Dragons and Phoenixes appeared over their bodies. The Phoenix soared to the sky, the dragon coiled under the earth. The two beasts released limitless energy, transforming the bodies of the twins and even affecting Heifeng Jiansui a bit!
After this, the twin shadows returned to the bodies of their possessors. The two girls went to sleep to relive their ancestral memories.
Heifeng Jiansui left the room after setting up a few formations so that their sleep would be long and undisturbed. After sternly warning everyone else to stay away from the room, Heifeng Jiansui left to meet the Formation Spirit.
+++
Right before the ruins of the Ninebless Phoenix Palace—the core of the grand formation, so strong that the remnant energy completely barred him from entering, Heifeng Jiansui held out his Phoenix Essence Talisman. A wave of energy shot out and the forcefield receded. Heifeng Jiansui walked into the ruins.
There was a forcefield covering the entire space, and the area where it was weakened was the place where the formation spirit was leading him. He finally reached a place in the middle of the ruins where a phantasmal woman with heterochromatic eyes of blue and red greeted him. The lock of her hair were blue and red as well, and she emitted the aura of fire and water as one.

“It’s been a long time since a true bearer of that talisman appeared before me. Many have come with that talisman but it was merely a trinket in their hands. I suppose you have arrived to wrest the treasures from the Sect’s ruins?” Her voice was accusatory.
“My name is Heifeng Jiansui, the Prince of the Black Phoenix Empire and I am the new master of this dominion.” Heifeng Jiansui did not hesitate to reveal his true identity. This would derail most of the spirit’s schemes, as offending the power that controlled this world was not an idea worth considering.
“Heifeng, what a nostalgic name… My Ninebless Phoenix Sect was a vassal of your Empire, but your sect unexpectedly allowed its destruction! How cold hearted!” Instead of taking a step back, the spirit instead began to accuse Heifeng Jiansui of his ancestral sins!
“Our Black Phoenix World was at war with the Divine Dragon World at that time and even the World Will was in danger! Members of the Royal Family died like insects and three concubines of the Emperor’s harem died as well! You sect was simply a casualty of the war!” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui looked at the formation spirit who surprisingly didn’t reply.
After a moment or so, she returned to the matter Heifeng Jiansui had come for. “…If you want treasures or resources, I can’t give you them for free –––––––“
Suddenly, Heifeng Jiansui interrupted her. “––––––If you want to keep the information on your location a secret, I can’t do it for free.”
Hearing this, the formation spirit scowled. “A mere mortal dares to be so arrogant?”
Waving her hand, she summoned ice and fire from thin air. The interplay of fiery hot wind and the icy cold air made Heifeng Jiansui’s blood freeze in anticipation of a attack.
But Heifeng Jiansui simply smiled as two talismans appeared in his hands. “You think I would do this if I didn’t have some capital?” Seeing this, the ice and fire disappeared and the beautiful spirit simply scowled at him.
“I will allow you to take all the treasures remaining in the ruins in exchange for your silence. Let us make a Heaven’s Eye Contract to acknowledge our agreement.” A Heaven’s Eye Contract was a contract that gave the burden of maintaining to the Heaven’s Will. If someone dared break it, he would face the Heaven’s wrath!
“The Heaven’s Eye contract needs the True Names of both parties written in blood to be effective. State yours, then.” Heifeng Jiansui asked the spirit with curiosity.
“In response to this, the Phoenix simply flicked her finger and a bloody, indecipherable signature was marked on the sheet. “Hmph, while True Names are a meaningless concept for your human race, do you think a spirit like me can give out her name easily? But for courtesy’s sake, you can call me Ninebless.”
Hearing this, Heifeng Jiansui was reminded of the Will of the Nineorigin Universe who named herself Nineorigin. It seemed that spirits and incarnations were alike in some factors.
After agreeing on some terms of the contract, it was finally changed to both of their satisfaction. Other than some resources which were necessary for keeping the grand formation up and running, all other remaining treasures within the ruins were given away to Heifeng Jiansui. After this, the formation spirit transmitted the location of the treasures and removed the forcefield barring Heifeng Jiansui.
After their agreement had been completed, Heifeng Jiansui quizzically glanced at the beauty in front of him. “…Well, I need to ask you something. Before we made the agreement of you giving away the resources for my secrecy, what were you going to demand for me?”
“…I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to tell you anyway. Some of the linchpins of my source formation have fallen apart and they may destabilize it. I wanted the help of a formations grandmaster to fix them. I was planning to get the help of a master from your Empire, but…” Saying this, she simply sighed.
“I might be able to help. Despite how I look, I am a Mortal Auxiliary Master. I can forge Spiritual and Quasi-Earth Rank items. Of course, there is also the problem of the resources needed to repair the items and the spirit veins I will have to tap into to gather the energy needed for repairing. Of course, I don’t intend to do this for free either…” With a sly smile, Heifeng Jiansui began speaking.
The formation spirit sighed once more as they both began to negotiate again.

Dungeons Are Bad Business
Vee Vales has been kicked out of his home and directed to make his own way in the world. Along with his friend Alforde Armorsoul, Vee travels to the city of Oar's Crest. Once a prosperous and well-to-do city, Oar's Crest has fallen into depression and disrepair. After finding a strange stone that takes up residence in a tattered top hat and introduces itself as Reginald, Vee and Alforde decide to open a dungeon in Oar's Crest to revitalize the city and, more importantly, make some fleurs. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: Dungeons are Bad Business (DABB) is a slow burn slice-of-life dungeon core litRPG citybuilder that's focused on the day to day experience of running a dungeon. There will be some action, but it won't be the focus of the story and Vee and his friends will usually overcome their problems with their minds and their pocketbooks instead of their weapons. Since I'm participating in the writeathon, I will probably be uploading chapters almost daily for the duration of the event. Thanks for reading!

As a mole. His oh so great ability, which he had been promised?Absorption of biological and magical properties of EVERYTHING he devoured! And so began his journey as a mole! Emotions? Missing brain strands to feel anything of that nature. Joy? All the more! Finally eating, no matter what... Starving is no more! The progenitor of devouring was let loose on the world, and who knows where his journey will lead him... This story will appear irregularly, and first of all on Patreon.

8 93They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.

8 176The Flame in the Forge (A Slice of Life Isekai LitRPG)
Thrown into a world he doesn’t recognise, Niall Vendra has to adapt, learn and fight to survive. Physically, emotionally, personally. If Niall wants to save his family, then the man he was needs to transform. Surrounded by Minotaurs, Fae and Magic, Niall will have to reinvent himself as both a warrior and an artisan. Growth won’t be fast and it won’t be easy, but with patience and hard work, Niall can earn the Skills, Abilities and Classes to battle his way to the top. The Flame In The Forge is a LitRPG Isekai/Portal fantasy. You should expect slice of life with conflict and an overarching mystery to be solved. Niall will be both a crafter (primarily, but not exclusively, as a blacksmith) and a fighter. There won’t be a harem. But don't worry, there will be both flames and forges! I should be clear that while this is very much LitRPG, it's story led and I have tried to make it feel believable. So, for example, the first blue box doesn't appear until chapter 6. I hope that the payoff is worth it. Compared to some LitRPGs you may find the pace rather gentle at times. There will be some periods where it feels like Niall is eking out every level and others when, for good reasons, he makes a significant leap. My goal though is to give you a satisfying story, so that dictates when and how Niall's stats and skills change. I can reassure you that I fully intend for Niall to become immensely powerful, but I want you to feel like he has earned every level in a realistic way.
