《The Tiger Lily Mistaken for a Weed》Part 4:Learning the Ropes
Advertisement
Not too long after: ".... Xiu Mang has received the clan's technique Mark of the heart." The leader said, and as usual, never saying what his clan's technique did. Then came Xiu Mei, the last one. Molark looked at the list after crossing off the second to last child's name, before looking to Xiu Mei. "Xiu Mei, as your Dantian is still under watch, we have decided that we will put you on a low tier support technique, Poison Strand. You can make yourself immune to poisons of the caliber to which you train it to, and once you become resistant to a level of the poison, you will be able to bring out your Dantian poison in a strand like liquid silk or tiny drops. Strand at full completion, drops at beginner proficiency."
Mei held his tongue at receiving the apparently low rank Support Cultivation Technique. He walked up and took the jade crystal from the Molarks' hand "Leader.... How do I use my Qi to extract the information?" Mei said, bluntly. Molark blinked for a second, before laughing. "Oh right, we forbid you from practicing techniques, so you didn't injure your Dantian. So what you need to do is focus on your body, have your mind follow your meridians, and they will lead you to the Dantian, from which you can take a strand of power and bring it out of yourself into the jade crystal, and then recall it, and you will have learnt it." Mei nodded, focusing, a minute later, sweat beaded on his forehead as an odd purple orange colored strand of light entered the Memory Jade, the true name for Jade Crystals.
Mei was instantly awash with information regarding the technique. He noticed something odd though. "Leader, it says to train in this, I need poisons." Molark nodded. "Yes, indeed. So the council has agreed to give you enough poisons to get you to the adept stage of Dantian Poison creation, where you'll be able to make Poisons ranging from weak poison to mild poison yourself." He said, handing Mei a pack. "Here are the poisons. Be very careful as you aren't used to handling poisons yet. They have been labeled by their strength."

Molark nodded as Mei went back to sit down. "With that, our ceremony is complete! We now have a new batch of children who have just learned their new Cultivation techniques. For now, they shall be focusing to achieve the goal line of their techniques, as well as hunting and foraging for the village, just as those before them. Of course, they'll start hunting and foraging only when they're physically able to. Alright, that's it for this ceremony! See you al next time!"

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
