《Level system vs Cultivation methods》Chapter 27 : The witch

Year 1033 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Jinshi farm
(Shaolan POV)
“Shaolan, don't touch that“
Jinshi, my only parent alive, scolds me.
“This snake venom sells very well“ Shaolan
The Alchemists seem to use it for making pills.
“That is not the problem here!“ Jinshi
I don't know what bothers him, since I was ten years old I have been doing stuff like this.
“Getting poisoned by snakes, fungus, herbs and more. Why don't you act more like a 15 year girl?“ Jinshi
It were good years. The feeling of being on the border of death and defeating it cant be compared to anything else. And that wasn't all.
My body after recovering it seems to form some kind of defense against the same type of poison, making my body stronger than some cultivators against poisons.
“Don't you have any plan to marry?“ Jinshi
Marriage? ha.
“You know very well that it will not happen“ Shaolan
I roll up my sleeve and show him the scars of bites and poisons in my body.
“Every man in this Heavenly Phoenix City will be disgusted by these“ Shaolan
“...“ Jinshi
He looks at me with a guilty face.
“Don't worry dad, I am happy now and I have enough spiritual coins to live by my own“ Shaolan
I know that I cause him to worry for me, but I really like my life now.
“You never know, maybe someday someone will be attracted to my wealth“ Shaolan
“I really hope so...“ Jinshi
Not that I will be interested in that kind of man, but I need to give dad some hope.
------------------------
Year 1034 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - East village
After saving enough coins, I decided to buy my own house in the village.

“Waaa! the Witch is here“ little girl
“Run“ little boy
Today, as always, I scared the kids. How would dad feel about this?
...
Well, it doesn't matter.
“Let's see what I'll find today“ Shaolan
As every day, I go to the eastern wall and talk to the guards.
“If isn't it the Witch“ guard A
“Today also will you go out?“ guard B
The herbs that I can find inside the city are very few, so now my search for goods extends also to the Outside.
“Yes, this is today's pass“ Shaolan
Of course I don't have a pass, in my hand there are spiritual coins.
“Everything seems in order“ Guard A
“Open the gate“ Guard B
...
After crossing the gate I make my preparations.
I take a special self made repellent poison in a sealed jug from my bag and drop its contents on me.
*splash*
It stinks and itches and makes my hair look like a broom, but it is the only form to be safe from the spiritual creatures.
The repellent duration is about three days, just the necessary time to go there and come back.
My target today is the meadows on the east.
“Time to job“ Shaolan
Today will be a fun day too.
------------------------
Year 1037 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Shaolan house
I was getting ready to go out when...
*knock* *knock*
Someone knocked the door.
“Yes, there I go“ Shaolan
When I opened the door, I could already see that this was not good.
“We are here in the name of the Joo family“ Joo family cultivator A
Three cultivators were at my door.
“You have the honor of being invited to the second son's mansion“ Joo family cultivator B
...They want me to be a toy of some kid.
“Come with us“ Shaolan

I don't think I have a choice.
“Of course, of course“ Shaolan
If I don't have a choice then...
“Please wait inside while I get changed. I smell very bad, don't I?“ Shaolan
“...“ Joo family cultivator A
“...“ Joo family cultivator B
“Be fast“ Joo family cultivator C
While walking to my room, I casually open a jug on the table on the way and leave.
......
...
Three men were on the floor.
“...zzz“ Joo family cultivators
“I'm nobody's toy“ Shaolan
They don't call me Witch for nothing.
“Now, what should I do?“ Shaolan
Living here now is impossible...
Maybe this is a good excuse to leave the city. I carry everything that I can in the bigger bag in my house.
...
After paying to the greedy guards one last time, I am ready to face the world.
“Ahh, the danger“ Shaolan
New poisons, new creatures, new forms of fighting dead.
“Lets go where my legs take me“ Shaolan
I start walking without destiny.
-One week after-
It seems this is it.
*Queakkk*
In front of me there is a Bronze Rank spiritual Rat of one meter and a half.
*Queak* *Queak*
My repellent don't work on it.
“I am not going down without a fight, little one“ Shaolan
Smiling, I take various types of poison of my bag with my hand. Each one in tiny recipients made by myself.
*Queakkk*
But that was useless, the rat Headbutts me.
“Uughh!!“ Shaolan
And I lost all my weapons.
“Aagrrh!“ Shaolan
It hurts a lot, but not more than some poison I tasted.
“DO YOU WANT ME? THEN COME AND EAT ME!“
I still standing , I offer my right arm to him.
*Queeeakkk*
“Uggh“ Shaolan
The spiritual rat bites a chunk my arm and a moment after, it drops on the ground.
“What, you didn't like it?“ Shaolan
All my Blood is poisonous, a side effect of playing with poison.
*Queak*
?
*Queak* *Queak*
Oh.
*Queak* *Queak* *Queak*
This is bad.
*Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak* *Queak*
I don't think my body can take all of them. Five of the same kind of before surround me.
“...It was a fun life“ Shaolan
As I get ready to be bitten to dead...
*QUEAKK*
A flying spear pierced one of them to death.
“Do you need help?“ woman in strange clothes
“...I would like to live, if possible“ Shaolan
Help is help, don't matter where it comes from.
“Okay then, Water Manipulation!“
A blue light paints the air for one second and no spiritual rat keeps its life.
“You defeated a Bronze rank spiritual creature without a System, you are incredible!“ woman in strange clothes
She just defeated five, I think that was more incredible but...
“System?“ Shaolan
“Do you want it? I could ask Master to give it to you in the Holy Land of Xue“ woman in strange clothes
I don't know what is she talking about, but it sounds fun.
“Holy Land of Xue? is that a city?“ Shaolan
“Something like that“ woman in strange clothes
“Then lets go there, I don't have other plans anyways“ Shaolan
“Good, my name is Yue Lynn“
“I am Shaolan, the witch“
...

Another world
For some, this old story would always be altered, but the outcome was always the same. 'The Evening Celebration.' Some blame humanity for provoking them, while others accuse monsters from another realm, and a few believed it was all merely the devil's fault. There is now a killer in the city. Attacking all the young ladies, pulling something from within them, and abandoning them on the doorsteps of their loved ones. Exactly similar to the old story. Will this issue ever be resolved, or will it be the start of something new? Ignoring the matter is also an option. Continuing with their everyday routine is generally a wise decision. That's just for the time being, of course. Till the plot leads them to someone they should have never encountered.
8 121Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
