《Ultimate Cultivation Support》Networking

It was a success, with Mingwei’s hunger pacified. 17 4-star Greenduck Liver Refined Pills, that produced 2,200 Qi per day. The thing about pills was... well, it could be the ‘same’ pill, but the effects can differ rather wildly depending on the maker. A master’s 4-star Greenduck Liver Refined Pills can be twice, no, three times as good as one made by a regular alchemist. That was just the reality of custom-made pills in the world of cultivation.
“MIngwei.”
“Yes? Oh. It’s Elder Qing. Greetings, Elder. What brings you here?”
“I see you’ve already studied the Greenduck Liver refinement method. May I?” Elder Qing pointed at the pills on the table.
“Ah... yes.”
She sniffed it a little “Hmm, decently made. That spirit in the brush of yours seems rather knowledgeable about the ways of alchemy. Does he know how to make 7th star pills, or 2nd refinement pills?”
Mingwei just nodded. “It’s been very helpful, if not a difficult tutor.” In a way, it wasn’t hard to fake it. The memories that he received, in a way, is just like having a spirit inside him. “I would have to ask... I think... it doesn’t, or maybe, it doesn’t want to tell me.”
Elder Qing pondered the response for a moment. “I see. Never mind, these pills, are they for yourself?”
Mingwei blushed. “Ah... uhm, brother Yuehao gave me the materials, but I have already given him the pills he asked for. So... yes, I’d use them for myself.”
“Hmm. It may be wise to provide some to the young Yuehao. He may need a little more to breakthrough to the middle 3-star, and would endear you to him.”
Mingwei wasn’t expecting the people-advice from Elder Qing.
“As alchemists, healers and crafters, we are often players in the background. We depend on the more active cultivators to harvest good materials, and resources. They possess the strength to protect us while we work, and it would be wise for you to begin cultivating your relationships with the other disciples, and beyond.”

MIngwei noted the strange emphasis on the word, ‘beyond.’ “Sorry, Elder Qing?”
“The sect is not the only place you need to make relationships. You should get yourself acquainted with all the other merchants and craftsmen, they may offer you the first cut of their new products and imports.”
He paused. Back home, anything that was any good would go for auction, simply because the merchants wanted to earn the most profits, yet he could understand why this world behaved differently. No sect was going to shout or kill if a merchant offered a ‘good’ item to a person first, since this world had more resources. The perceived abundance meant personal relationships came first, since Sects would not ‘fight’ over such ‘petty’ resources.
“I see.” Mingwei had not expected the presence of abundance to change how the markets worked, but he was quick to understand it. Certainly, it didn’t occur to him until Elder Qing spoke of it.
“Redmaw town has a few importers, but those who can really pull strings for you are those in Northstar City. But you may have to run some errands or quests on their behalf before you can earn their favor, and they may call on you from time to time. A gift of your best pills may be a wise idea.”
Mingwei nodded. “Thank you for your advice, Elder Qing. This disciple will remember it for life.”
“An alchemist should have a good network of partners. And some benefactors to look after you when someone’s not too happy” Elder Qing laughed.

The Code of Life - Epic Fantasy/Scifi LitRPG Series
Strange new worlds with monsters and beasts, some to tame, some to slain. Some to make friends of as you realize you're a bigger monster than they could ever be... And you have to move and progress. Learn and survive. Only that can unlock the boxes of secrets and provide answers to the ultimate of riddles. Seemingly randomly selected, thirteen people of diverse backgrounds are given access codes to the MOLI. It offers a strange new experience that looks very seductive and engaging, with stunning graphics and alluring species, just utterly mindblowing and addictive. But, it seems nobody knows what MOLI actually is, a whole new level in VR gaming or an inexplicable transference to another universe with different worlds and their own laws and customs. The experience feels so real it’s difficult to be certain. But they have to find the answers fast because people soon start to die. *** This is not intended to be a typical litRPG series, although it uses a lot of its elements to help create the whole setting. Planning to publish a chapter a day, so be warned of the editing mistakes that are certain to sneak through. Hope to keep on fixing them as I go along.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
