《Ultimate Cultivation Support》Family Visits 2
Advertisement
The family made the trip to Northstar City together, after Mingwei briefly spoke to Elder Qing. He still had to get the necessary notifications done, even though the elders do not regulate the movements of the disciples. It was just a mark of respect.
“So, this is one of our rare family trips.” Father smiled, and gave both Mingjian and Mingwei a pat.
“It is strange, father.” Mingjian just shrugged.
“Worry not. I know some good places to eat in Northstar City. I’ll treat all of you to some liver-coated gator tongue skewers. It’s really good.”
“Really?” Mingwei felt hungry. He wondered whether it was the lingering side effects of the Greenduck Liver. Normally, if boiled, the Greenduck Liver’s flavor would melt into the soup, but when fried, the fats inside the liver would cook and the smell of it can stick in one’s noses for days.
“Yes. I know a few good restaurants. You should pick up on that knowledge, Mingwei. An alchemist should know where to wine and dine your future customers and business partners.”
Mingwei nodded. Again, sound advice.
“How many times have you been to Northstar City, Mingwei? In the past 2 years.”
“Twice?”
“Should go more often.” Father said. Was he normally so talkative in a wagon? Mother, on the other hand, was just resting.
“Ah... I didn’t have a reason to, and I had to cultivate.” And read. Mingwei did spend a lot of time just studying and reading up all the various cultivation theories.
Mother made a rare comment on this trip. “Perhaps, if you see a girl you like, you would make the trip?”
Mingjian rolled his eyes. “Mom! Mingwei’s just 11, soon to be 12. Too young!”
Mother didn’t reply, and eventually, after a whole lot of idle chatter, they arrived in Northstar City. This time, father led the way to a quieter inn, on one of the more ‘posh’ streets.

“Welcome back.” The receptionist bowed as they came in. Father just had a few words, and soon we had two keys.
“You’ll be sharing with your brother.” Mother said. “We’ll visit the merchants tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
That night, it was just Mingjian and Mingwei in the room. It was awkward at first, and Mingwei wasn’t sure where to even start. From Mingjian’s point of view, it must have seen as if Mingwei suddenly changed overnight.
“So... how’s our parents?” Mingwei asked, trying to break the awkwardness.
“You have much to tell me that’s still unsaid.” Mingjian just said, and after a pause “So, a spirit?”
Mingwei sighed. “Something like that. It’s... memories, rather than a spirit.”
“And it somehow compelled you to start cultivating?” Mingjian said.
“Yes. It... was trying to send a message.” Mingwei thought whether it’s a good idea to talk about it, but he believed, maybe he didn’t have to share everything. “It seems to foretell a great evil that would soon engulf our world. We have time, but we must be careful with it.”
Mingjian paused. “Wait. You’ve gotten one of the doom-saying spirits.” He had a look of horror.
“What?” Mingwei reacted at Mingjian’s horrified expression.
Then Mingjian laughed. Mingwei didn’t recall Mingjian being so... casual. Perhaps crossing into 4-star relieved some of that stress.
“What?” Mingwei was still confused, though.
“Nothing, young brother. It was nothing.” Mingjian nodded. “Sleep.”

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.
