《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“
...

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

Sunflower Phoenix
Maribelle will seek to topple the heavens and obtain omnipotence, an ambition that begins with her wishing for the freedom of the banished god she calls her friend.

A great war is coming, orchestrated by the calamity that slumbers, as it has been a thousand times before. Gods will walk the earth with their chosen ones, the dragons will slaughter indiscriminately, and the krakens will emerge from the deep with their undead creations. When this cosmic game begins, Ferris will play to win, and Maribelle will flip the board. Right now, though, things are simple. Maribelle is just a lively little girl living with her mother in the village of sunflowers. Ferris is her adopted brother, hiding his troubled past.
