《Master of Jade Cauldron》Book 1 Chapter 15 - Poisoned!
Advertisement
"Master, Xiao Feng greets master, how are you today?" Long Feng immediately look for his master as he entered the Virtue Hall.
"Senior Han, how are you today?" Long Feng turned to another side, and greet Han Feng Xian who seated by the side of Elder Tang Wen.
"Oh, Xiao Feng, today master have something new for you to do, I will bring you to have a look later. For now, go and have your sword practice with senior Han first." Elder Tang Wen speaks and looking at Long Feng's happy face as he sees that kid smile because he can see something new today.
"Senior Han, please." Long Feng invite Han Feng Xian to the practice room to start their sword art daily practicing.
Perhaps it was due to the lack of practice for two days, Long Feng skills started to get a little rusty. But during their practice, Long Feng is still managed to keep himself on the feet, managed to defend himself much more compared to last time.
In the same time, Han Feng Xian as well looked at Long Feng with a very happy expression. The moment their practices is over, Han Feng Xian started to tell Long Feng what's on his mind.
"Xiao Feng, I will be leaving the Hall tomorrow morning." Han Feng Xian starts the talking.
"So early? Did your internal injuries healed totally?" Long Feng is slightly shocked, but he did know that Han Feng Xian will be only temporary residing within the Hall, as he is injured previously from the ambush by the cultivation beast.
"Yes. I'm about 80% healed, and I need to return to the Xuan Wu Sword Clan because of some important matters." Han Feng Xian explained the reason why he needs to return earlier to the Xuan Wu Sword Clan.
"I see, Senior Han, Xiao Feng wish you a safe journey and always be in health as you leave the hall and return to the Clan. If the fate is there to bring us together again, Xiao Feng will absolutely greet Senior and thanks to senior for your kind guidance on teaching this junior the Defensive Wu Sword Art." Long Feng politely kneel on the floor and thanked Han Feng Xian in his kindness on teaching him the Sword Art.
"Ha Ha Ha, I actually have one more little treasure to give you. Take this as the gift for giving me an enlightenment in the sword art two days ago." Han Feng Xian put his hand into his waist pouch and grabbed a piece of stone within to give to Long Feng.
"This is the refined piece of Clearness Jade Gemstone. Although it's just a really small piece, this piece of treasure really bring me loads of luck I needed. I even believe it was due to this treasure, I'm able to meet with your master and you over here." Han Feng Xian passed the piece of Jadestone to Long Feng, and force him to hold it tightly.
"Senior, Long Feng will make sure to keep this safely in his possession and won't!" Long Feng speaks and suddenly, a shock came into his mind.

Even Han Feng Xian is shocked, but from the way he senses from seeing Long Feng condition, it is not any major issue, as the condition of his shock is more to some enlightening shock, and not any cultivating mistakes.
In his mind, Long Feng ventured into the world that seems very traditional, old and mysterious.
The roof of each house is not in a triangle look, but it is more to a shape of a cone.
Their roofing is made from Haystack that is tied up together with some sturdy but prickly rattan vines, and the wall of each house is made from a mixture of clay.
In this places that looked like a middle of a village, Long Feng flew around like a spirit, looking at all the people doing their daily works.
At one side of the village, an old man is seated on top of a huge piece of log, and in front of him, exist a cauldron that burns with a fire with green in color. On his left hand, a small table with few different ingredients is placed nicely, waiting to be refined within the cauldron.
On his right, a beautifully carved Jade piece of Wine Vessel and Wine Flask is put together, with a silky smooth milky liquid is within waiting for that old man to taste them in his mouth.
On his back, A piece of Long Ruler, shaped like a sword but with no sharp edge, is seen. That piece of a long ruler is made totally with Jade, and in the middle of the ruler's body, a piece of Medallion, golden in color is seen flashing all the time.
"Ha Ha Ha, I would never imagine, that through mixing this few ingredients within, will allow me to successfully create this Golden Jade Holy Pill."
"Reincarnation... I know you are there, so remember the ingredient, because soon you will see them in your life too."
"Listen to me well. This Piece of a ruler is my first treasure, I called it the Shennong Sky Jade Measuring Ruler. This ruler allows its owner of each life to grow the medicinal plants into each stage as he wishes, and destroy all martial abilities without touching."
"This Vessel and Flask is my beloved piece of treasure too, I spend a total of hundred thousand years on refining each of them, and by owning it in your life, it will surely make your life become more beautiful. The Shennong Moon Jade Flask will absorb the Dew from the Moonlight to create its Shennong Moon Dew. The dew is the world most refined holy wine, that's demanded by the God for its effect of instantly increase one stage of cultivation upon consumption."
"and the Shennong Sun Jade Vessel is a treasure that could make the liquids within to become antidotes that could destroy any poison in the world. The liquid too could enable the person consumed it to heal from heavy injuries and internal injuries, but remember, it's not an immortal elixir, there is a limit of its ability."
"I have more treasure to show you, but I guess that's all you could know now... See you again..."

"Oh! And one more thing. I am Shennong. You too." with this last word by that old man, Long Feng's vision immediately turned into a whirlwind of visuals, and returned back to his own world.
"Xiao Feng, are you feeling sick anywhere?" Han Feng Xian is holding Long Feng in his arm, as Elder Tang Wen is focusing in reading Long Feng's pulse.
"Master, Senior Han, I am alright. I'm sorry for making you both worries." Long Feng wakes up and stand by his master and Han Feng Xian side, and bow down to apologize.
"Master was worried to death just now. What happened?" Elder Tang Wen asked, while his eye is staring at the piece of Clearness Jade Gemstone.
"Xiao Feng's mind is in a different world just now. I don't know what makes it happened, but in the dream, Xiao Feng saw an old man who introduces me a treasure." Long Feng explained.
"Do you know what is that treasure called?" Elder Tang Wen questioned.
"Yes, master. That old man in the dream tells me to memorize the ingredient as they will come into my life in future. That pill is called as the Golden Jade Holy Pill." Long Feng explained.
"Golden Jade Holy Pill? Did you just mention that name?" Elder Tang Wen is shocked.
"Yes, master. What is that pill?" Long Feng answered, and questioned as well.
"Xiao Feng, let senior explain it to you. The Golden Jade Holy Pill is a treasure that hunted by all cultivators within this Continent of Yan."
"Although it is just in rumor, from what they say, the Golden Jade Holy Pill allows the one who eats it to assimilate into one more additional elements."
"In the world, one that has a single element compatibility is normal, while those with two element compatibility is special but widely found within the continent."
"Those that have three element compatibility is rare, and those like you, who have a Sky element within the three elements is even rarer. But from words, there is those that compatible with four elements, and five or six."
"If you have seen somebody with more compatibility than you in your lifetime, it is for sure they are being treated as one of the treasures within their sect, and expected to lead the clan or sect in the future."
"But imagine if you could have that pill, and everyone that could have compatibility with 5 different elements became normal?" it will make the world get into disaster, and even the whole continent will turn into a war zone." Han Feng Xian explained.
"And one more thing." Elder Tang Wen continued.
"The Ingredient of the Golden Jade Holy Pill is no longer exist in the world. So even if one wished to recreate the pill, they might face difficulties, and even life-threatening danger due to the mistake in concoction as results."
The three of them finally speechless, and have nothing else to discuss due to the randomness of the topic. But the day ends with Han Feng Xian depart from the Bronze Pill Hall, escorted by Elder Tang Wen and Long Feng to the entrance of the hall, and also Long Feng returned to his room afterward.
"Remember to come earlier to the hall tomorrow. Listen to master, do not do your poison concoction first." Long Feng remembered his master's word before he entered his room.
Within his room, Long Feng opened the parcels containing the poisonous ingredients he received earlier ago and checked their quality before that, but he resisted himself from continuing to concoct the poison concoction, as he remembered his master's word.
Placing all the ingredients aside, Long Feng withdraw the piece of Clearness Jade Gemstone from his pouch and inject a source of Essence Qi into the stone. The stone flashed slightly, and in the same time, Long Feng felt a sense of shape within the stone he is holding.
"This gemstone gave out the sense of it being a Flask." Long Feng speaks in his mind.
Next, he withdraws the piece of Impure Azure Jade Rock to inject his Essence Qi as well. After a short while, he felt the shape of a Ruler in his hand.
"I guess that this Impure Azure Jade Rock contained a slight power of the Sky Jade Measuring Ruler as well."
"Let's use today time to cultivate instead, and see how things would go for tomorrow."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday.
early in the morning, Long Feng wakes up from his rest and quickly went to the Virtue Hall to meet his master.
Remembering his master's word, Long Feng can't help himself, but keep guessing the type of medicinal plant his master would allow him to tend this time.
But in his mind, he does know that his master already knows that he will be concocting the poison concoction soon, so perhaps his master would allow him to learn more about the poison art, so he would not refine it in a wrong way and injured himself in the end.
As he entered the hall, Long Feng is shocked with the poisonous fumes within the hall, and quickly create a Shield of Essence surrounding him, so he could enter the hall and check on the reason why there are poison fumes within the hall.
But Long Feng cultivation is still too low to completely defend against the poison fumes, and very soon, he falls into the side-effect of the poison, which causing him to feeling strengthless to move around. His heart and cultivation started to go wrong, as his control of his Essence Qi started to get disrupted.
"This is?"
"Yellow Heart Poison and Golden Crippling Powder!" Long Feng speaks in his mind as he finally noticed the strength of that two poison.
But knowing the poison doesn't mean he has the way to remove the poison immediately!

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)

8 109The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
