《*DISCONTINUED*》Chapter 18 : Pills

After hearing that, Feng Xing just stared at her weirdly and said : "Hear what? Did you hear anything weird?"
"Hmm?" Feng Xing seemed to not notice anything at all, and even looked at her weirdly like she was paranoid or something.
"Hmm... I'm pretty sure I heard someone snorting..." Xiao Ling refused to believe that she didn't hear anything, she clearly knew very well that she heard someone snorting that moment. Nothing could fool her ears, she was sure, but seemed to be a bit troubled by Feng Xing. According to how he was acting currently... it was as if he didn't hear anything at all...
"Things like this also happen, in life alot of things happen that might be confusing, weird and unexpected, but sometimes you might really be overthinking it. I didn't hear anything after all, must of have been your imagination." Feng Xing stated, hoping that she would pry any further. Luckily for him, she seemed to just let it slide.
"...Hmm, alright." Xiao Ling seemed to trust Feng Xing's senses, and let it slide this time. It could also have been her imagination since she seemed to be the only one to hear it, and there wasn't any trace left after all.
After that Feng Xing decided to teach her a few things about Energy itself and the Control, so she would know more about it. Learning about something you don't understand is also very efficient after all. He felt that if he gave her enough time, she would slowly become a true master of Energy. The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Ling kept asking questions about Energy Control. Since she had been testing alot of things with her Energy, some things were mysterious to her. The things she didn't understand she would ask.
"Hmm, I see so that's how it is." Xiao Ling seemed to be enlightened, after hearing Feng Xing explain everything so clearly. She would definitely remember everything he said, like someone thirsty for knowledge.
"Indeed, Energy is something that isn't profound at all, atleast at our current stage. So you shouldn't think to hard about it." Feng Xing seemed to be very content with her clever questions, she wanted to know everything.
Feng Xing and Xiao Ling had already been talking with each other for a few hours straight already, It was even already morning...
Feng Xing slowly was even forgetting that there were still others somewhere in this room, he was answering all Xiao Ling's questions very profoundly. Even he himself was absorbed in answering every question perfectly. Xiao Ling eyes constantly lit up after being enlightened, She truely had respect for Feng Xing now. She knew that if she stayed under his guidance, then she would become a master one day! The only thing she still couldn't get out of her head was... this.
Who was Feng Xing? He knew all this, some masters probably didn't even know. How...? Just who was he, she thought. One day she would definitely try her hardest to find out, and how he reincarnated...
She set this as one of her goals which she would definitely try her best to fulfill it. Suddenly a knock resounded from the door... followed up by a girl's voice. It was Rou Xue...
"Feng Xing, it's about time we go check out our Hall or have you not memorised everything in the book yet?"
Xiao Ling seemed to realize something, and her face paled a bit... wouldn't this mean that she spend the night with a guy? If Rou Xue were to open that door...

Feng Xing suddenly also realized some things... it was morning, he spend so many hours talking... but the worst part of all... wasn't Dio and Luo Ai just.....
Feng Xing shook his head and sighed and said : "Hmm, sure let me get ready first, you can wait for me in your room since it's just beside mine."
"Mm, alright." She answered, luckily she didn't open the door... or else she would see him with Xiao Ling, and it would lead to some major misunderstandings currently...
Feng Xing stood up, and said to Xiao Ling : "It's time for you to go for now, come back the next time while thinking about the things I told you." Xiao Ling nodded, stood up and left. Now Feng Xing was the only one in the room, or so it seemed...
"Alright, come out now. I have 5 minutes. After that I must leave for now..." Feng Xing gestured them to come out, immediately two figures slowly appeared... they were at the corner of the room...
Luo Ai didn't seem to be happy and Dio seemed to stare weirdly at him. This made Feng Xing feel a bit uncomfortable...
Feng Xing sighed and said : "Don't hold back and ask or say what you want to say." He got straight to the point, he didn't have much time after all. Luo Ai immediately spoke up first.
"Who was that girl you taught, and what have you been doing all this time and how are you still alive?" These things were the things she wanted to know the most currently, she looked at Feng Xing with eyes that could make any man below the heavens spit out the truth, although it wouldn't have much effect on Feng Xing which she knew...
"I have planned out some things, and need to get strength and support as fast as possible. I have planned to train people that could help me greatly in the future like that girl you just saw, and I'm planning to go back to that Realm once again, I can't let the Dragon God get away with this... The reason why you're currently here is also probably connected with the Dragon God right? And as for the question why I'm alive... I have no clue to be honest, It might be because of a Grand Dao someone cast on me in the past or it was because I was close to becoming the Dao itself, but currently I'm residing in this body and I'm actually grateful for this, since with this I can still have the chance to do something."
Luo Ai and Dio seemed to be shocked after hearing all this. They never expected him to be alive while harbouring these plans! It fascinated them a bit, but they knew who he really was. This truely was the Jiang Hao they knew! The one and only! They felt really happy to see him once again in this lifetime. Currently Feng Xing though had another thought in his mind.
"If it really is true that I have reincarnated because of the Grand Dao of Reincarnation which the Reaper had... then doesn't that mean that before this, the host was already dead? From what I heard from the Reaper, you can only reincarnate into a body if the soul from the original owner dissipated, and you can't choose in which body you want to reincarnate in. Hehe... once I get back to that Realm, I have much to tell the Reaper I guess."
The Grand Dao of Reincarnation, a Dao only two people had ever used in history because of the difficulty and mysteriousness. One of them being the Reaper, another big shot from the Realm of Gods. He previously casted one of his special Grand Dao magics on Feng Xing just to test it, if Feng Xing ever died it had chance to let Feng Xing reincarnate. Of course Feng Xing didn't pay any mind to it nor did the Reaper, because they never expected Feng Xing to die anyways... Unexpectedly he really did die... and reincarnate. If the Reaper knew this, then wouldn't his Grand Dao basically be invincible? Well technically taking big risks would also result in huge rewards, but this was ridiculous... reincarnation? The Dao was just way to difficult to comprehend and understand in this world... yet it had such beneficial........

Luckily the Reaper himself didn't know this fact yet... or else he might get banished... by the Dragon God... who is probably the current ruler of the Realm of Gods. Luckily Feng Xing and the Reaper were on good terms with each other. Feng Xing would owe him a debt if it truely was because of his Daoist magic. Feng Xing couldn't think of another possibility currently...
"Alright, no more questions?" Feng Xing asked the two, who were still standing there.
"Mhm, no questions anymore. We will formally meet later!" Luo Ai seemed to not care about Xiao Ling anymore and dragged Dio away who seemingly wanted to ask a question. Feng Xing stared weirdly at the two disappearing. Meet formally later? What did she mean? He slightly had a weird feeling... but didn't pay it any mind for now and left his room. Feng Xing would ask Luo Ai's details later, but he seemed to already have an exact idea about it.
Feng Xing stepped out of his room, and went towards the room next to his, Rou Xue's room. He knocked once and said : "I'm ready, let's go."
After a short while the door opened and Rou Xue walked out. She seemed to be already in her Sect clothing... Feng Xing inspected her a bit. It looked pretty well on her, as if it was natural.
"Alright, let us go then." Rou Xue said, while holding a book in her hands. It was the same book she received from the tests. She was still studying it a bit more, by now she probably knew every single thing stated inside.
Feng Xing and Rou Xue were currently moving over to the 4th mountain area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in another area... in the Sect.
Currently a young man who seemed to be mad was standing across four youths kneeling down in fear... the young man in front of them was emitting a terrifying aura that was half step into the Martial Path realm... sooner or later he would completely step into it!
"You useless fools! Can't you do anything right!? What do you mean he beat u guys up! he's only at the 7th rank!" The man who was angry was Mong Gu, he heard that they even told Feng Xing his name and all his plans...
The youths had cold sweat dripping everywhere... they seemed to be more scared for Mong Gu than Feng Xing, probably because Mong Gu's pure cultivation base was higher than Feng Xing's cultivation base...
"Please, forgive us. It's true that he is actually stronger than what we had thought! Please believe us. He might even have the strength of someone at the peak of the 9th rank!" One of the youths spoke out.
Mong Gu looked at him with disdain, how could he believe something like that. Someone at the 7th rank comparable to the peak 9th rank? Laughable! How could that be! Mong Gu simply looked at them and said : "Alright, since you guys admit it. I will believe it for now."
The eyes of the youths all lit up, Mong Gu actually believed them, but what they didn't know was that Mong Gu just said that to shut them up for now and end the conversation...
"I'll take care of this myself... you guys just stay out of this for now." Mong Gu didn't believe them at all, so he would now take it in his own hands. Since Feng Xing was only at the 7th rank and already knew it was him anyways.
The youths stared at each other and left hurriedly since they just wanted to leaveheavy atmosphere... leaving Mong Gu standing there all alone.
Mong Gu smiled coldly and muttered: "Defying me is not good... hehe.." Mong Gu had absolute confidence in himself, Half step into Martial Path realm! How could a mere 7th rank cultivator compare to that! He decided to take care of Feng Xing himself. Maybe he could even show off in front of Xiao Ling since she seemed to have a good relationship with Feng Xing.
Mong Gu laughed and walked off into the distance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feng Xing and Rou Xue were currently arriving. It was time for them to officially join the Hall, and to learn how to concoct pills! But it seems to be that both of them already knew how to concoct pills, especially Feng Xing... who was a high rank Pill Master in his previous life.
They walked into a large building where a sign stood. This was what stood on the sign : "Pill Concocting Hall Division 3" When they came in, they saw all kinds of rooms with people inside trying their best to concoct pills... pill cauldrons were everywhere... the rooms and even the building itself was filled with all kinds of aroma's...
Some pill cauldrons exploded... this meant that the procedure failed, and that the pill ingredients will all be wasted... This was one of the reasons why there were not many high rank Pill Masters... grooming a good Pill Master was actually very expensive... Only the strong have enough ingredients, this would mean that the strongest Pill Masters are usually also very strong cultivators...
It was a cycle actually, stronger cultivators get more ingredients to increase their own strength and to improve their concocting technique! This was also a reason why alot of people wanted to become high rank Pill Masters! It was very beneficial, but some didn't even try due to it being way to hard... or they just wanted to focus on another aspect.
"In the book it was stated that we can use any room as long as we pay for the pill cauldron and ingredients used. Usually you can only buy ingredients with contribution points, but luckily we are new. It's stated that new members get a free trial try." Rou Xue explained to Feng Xing since he probably didn't read the book at all.
"Hmm, I understand now. Well let's go talk to that Elder over there at the counter then." Feng Xing pointed to an old man who sat behind the counter, he would give them permission to a room and grant them the ingredients they wanted.
Feng Xing and Rou Xue walked over to the counter, there were quite a bit of people around. When Feng Xing and Rou Xue walked in, everyone looked over at them. They noticed that Feng Xing and Rou Xue were new... to the Hall.
Some had disdain for them while others found them rather interesting, but most people didn't think much of it. It was pretty usual for newcomers to come to this facility... they would want to try out pill concocting once after all... especially with the free trial...
Feng Xing and Rou Xue plainly ignored them and talked with the elder, both of them got a room for free, but the ingredients that they would receive for free were still limited. It wasn't like the Sect was going to let them spend it all for free...
With the ingredients they received the max level pill they could make was only a Rank 1 pill, but that was still okay. A Low Tier Martial Path pill was still very beneficient for both of them, especially if the essence is atleast above 50%... usually when making pills most of the essence goes to waste in the process... only with precise control could one get the pill to contain 50% essence or above.
Feng Xing and Rou Xue immediately went to the rooms they were designated to... of course they were right beside each other. Both of them now stood outside their rooms.
"Good luck, Master." Rou Xue simply said before going inside her room. Feng Xing simply smiled also and went in.
"Rou Xue probably also plans to make a Low Tier Martial Path pill... but how much of it's pill essence would she be able to keep?" Feng Xing was a little bit curious about her abilities, when he went into the room he saw some simple things a Pill Master would need for concocting. A Low Tier pill cauldron, Low Tier fire essence and of course a place for him to put his stuff.
Feng Xing threw his bag of ingredients down and thought for a bit.

I was just a farmer and when my farm was attacked by bandits I fought them off as best as I could, but it turns out a single untrained woman fighting a band of twenty experienced killers doesn’t end well. Thinking I was dead I awoke to find that I had no arms and was only one ft tall. I have been reincarnated as a Mushroom Monster. What am I going to do now?__________________________________________________________________________This will be my first attempt at any kind of written novel or story, I have had a lot of ideas and tried writing some but realized they were too big in scale or too difficult for a newbie.

8 203Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR.
