"Young One, did you just proposed to our Young Lady?" Elder Guang is the first to speak as they reached where the two is.
"Elder... I" Long Feng tried to speak, but then Elder Huang intercepted.
"Young One, our Young Lady is the precious pearl of our Master. If you are really wanted to married to our Young Lady, you must move into the General's Fortress as soon as possible." Elder Huang speaks.
"What! No, I can't, I still have to..." Long Feng tried to finish his word this time but still intercepted.
"Are you means that you are not going to marry our Young Lady? The penalty for making fun with our Young Lady's heart will be crippled, Dantian destroyed, and family will be inflicted with the same punishment as well!" Elder Guang loudly says.
"No! Do not do this to my mother!" Long Feng is shocked.
"Then you have no choice, since you already bring out this ring for our Young Lady, then kneel down and propose to her immediately! Or else you will know what will happen to you!" Elder Guang immediately presses Long Feng to kneel down on one knee and had his hand held up high to Nan Jing Jing.
"Both Elder, you are a little too overboard..." Nan Jing Jing tried to stop both elders from forcing Long Feng, but she in the same time enjoyed it.
"Err... Sister Jing Jing... Will you marry me?" Long Feng just followed with the situation that forced by the elders on him.
"Oh, Of course, I do!" Nan Jing Jing smiles widely and agreed to be his wife.
"But it is only after we graduated from the Pill Hall!" Long Feng quickly added the request within.
"What?" both Elder is shocked. Their Practitioner Tier strength burst out as well, as the result of anger.
"Both elders, please calm down. Long Feng has nothing that has any value, I am even born poor, and only have a mother to take care until she old and happily pass away. I have only a master, but this is just the third week I am blessed with a teacher who would bring me up from where I am standing now."
"If I went over with Sister Jing Jing to the General's Fortress, where would I improve from there? My talents are in Medicinal and Pill refining. I want to at least be filial to my parents, and finish my studies as my master's only disciple, before I went to Jing Jing's side."
Long Feng finished his words, and as his words heard by the elders, both of them praise him in their hearts to be touched by such a strong and filial words from just a 10 years old child.
"Fine, we will wait until you graduate from the Hall, and then you will be required to return to the Fortress to met your father in law." both Elder says before they leave the place.

"Let's go, Future Husband." Nan Jing Jing happily puts on one of the rings and starts to walk towards where the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion is located.
"Did I just get forced to married Nan Jing Jing? Does that means I have to call her Beloved Wife from now on?" Long Feng's mind got even missed from all this thing that just happened.
"Mother is going to kill me for this." Long Feng lamented, but he coincidently moves closer to Nan Jing Jing, as she turns around and tried to ask Long Feng to walk faster.
The two of them reach the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion at last and being lead directly into the Martial Specialty Room to start to work out on all the orders.
The two beginning to get closer to each other, as they mind getting more and more used to cooperating with each other's tempo. Nan Jing Jing in comfortable with each portioning Long Feng had prepared for her, while Long Feng managed to adjust his speed in maintaining a steady flow to provide the ingredients one by one to Nan Jing Jing.
The two of them getting closer, and with Long Feng's dense head, he totally unnoticed on Nan Jing Jing's a moment of shock when he accidentally touched the lady's hand.
"Although he is my soon to be husband, being touched on the hand by him still shocked me for a moment." Nan Jing Jing thinks in her mind, as Long Feng's ingredient started to pile up.
"Sister Jing Jing, do you need help in preparing the ingredient?" Long Feng stopped for a moment, as ask Nan Jing Jing in case she needs help.
"I DARE YOU TO CALL THAT AGAIN?" Deadly stares came out from Nan Jing Jing's eyes, giving Long Feng immediate chill as he saw the eyes.
"Beloved Wife." Long Feng immediately change his way of calling.
"Yes, Beloved Husband. Can you help me with this few ingredients?" Nan Jing Jing eyes immediately became like a puppy, can't wait to get pampered by its master.
"How quick is her temper changed. I must be careful, this must be what mother says all the time in case I get to know some other female disciple."
"Woman's temper change even faster than how a weather change."
"I must be careful." Long Feng thinks in his mind as he quickly helps Nan Jing Jing with their concoctions.
The two of them finished their duty after a total of 8 hours working in the room, and for this time, they managed to complete a total of 350 request slips, which means they obtain 700 points in return.
Nan Jing Jing went to the counter and exchange for a few cultivation improving ingredients, while Long Feng requested for a total of 20 portions of Cultivation Beast's Blood, and kept the remaining 500 points in his account.
But today, the two of them failed to meet Li Ying.

Perhaps Li Ying is on something, which is why the two of them failed to meet her.
"Beloved Wife, I need to return to the mission now, so I will take another way from here." Long Feng inform Nan Jing Jing as they leave the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion.
"Are you sure you want me to walk back alone? I might get attacked by the disciple in they saw you are not with me." Nan Jing Jing replied.
"If I am not with you, I think they won't disturb you instead." Long Feng replied instantly, unaware of his stupid reply.
To be honest, that is of course what came into Long Feng's mind. After all, A Peak Refinement Tier cultivator like Nan Jing Jing hardly have a match except some top senior from Outer Division trying to compete with her.
"WALK WITH ME!" the deadly stares appeared once again.
"SURE!" Long Feng automatically walk towards the Bronze Pill Hall, with Nan Jing Jing following behind.
"Beloved Husband, you are so sweet!" Nan Jing Jing happily followed behind.
With Nan Jing Jing finally returned to her room, Long Feng quickly rushed back to the camp.

"Master!" Hong Yue quickly rushed to Long Feng's side as it saw him walking towards Elder Tang Wen's camp.
"Did you cause any trouble to Master when I am not around?" Long Feng pat Hong Yue's head as the pet came close to him.
"No Master, Master's master feed Hong Yue many foods, and it is all very nutritious for Lizard Kind Cultivation Beast." Hong Yue answered.
"Then that's good. Master will go into the forest again soon after I greet Old Master. You will come and follow me as well, will you?" Long Feng praise Hong Yue for a little, before he gets close to Elder Tang Wen.
"Master, Xiao Feng will go into the forest of West Jade again." Long Feng greet his master as he informs him that he will enter the forest again.
"Good, make sure you be very cautious as you enter deeper into the forest. Three more disciple is dead yesterday, reportedly killed by one of an Adept strength beast."
"Master can smell a faint smell of some blood as well, did you prepared yourself this time before you enter the forest?" Elder Tang Wen checked on his disciple preparation before entering the forest.
"Yes master, Xiao Feng is well prepared this time, I hope I can at least handle and assist around 100 trees this time." Long Feng answered his master's question.
"Then good luck, and be safe." Elder Tang Wen finished talking, and continue with his medical assistance to the injured disciple.
Long Feng then entered the Forest.
Along with his path, being together with Hong Yue along his way, Long Feng managed to harvest a good amount of Medicinal ingredients as he explores deeper into the forest.
With Hong Yue's sensitivity in smells, the Pet could give a very accurate location of nearby available ingredient to be harvested, and also cooperate as a portable radar, where Hong Yue could give Long Feng warning as some danger or crowd is closing in at a fast pace in between 300 meters.
With a quick speed, Long Feng immediately reach the location where the Disease is spreading.
Long Feng waste no time, and immediately process the available poison from the seven poison thorns.
Although the blood supply this time is about enough, the poison thorns sometimes only possess a total of two portions at max, and since this is some newly infected trees, the supply of the poison within the thorns might be not enough for the concoction.
Long Feng explore between four different spots, where the Parasite plant started to attach themselves to the tree. After spending about two hours, Long Feng finally managed to refine all 20 portions of the beast's blood in his hand, but it totally took him 10 hours to complete the task.
Long Feng hand now consist of a total of 110 antidotes to counter the Seven Snake Poison Disease. But as the time started to get late, Long Feng decided to take a rest for today.
But Long Feng did not notice the danger is getting close to the two of them.
The location Long Feng is at the moment, is the bottom of the forest from where Tempera's nest is located.
And at the same time, the time is already at night, the most active period for the Cultivation Beast to look for food and preys.

"Young Master, you are so amazing." a boot-licking servant is busy praising this young master for his skill in eliminating twelve Venom King Bullfrog by using his secret weapon.
"No need to give me sugar coating words. Quickly wear your Jade Silversilk Glove and collect all the poison liquid that available in the frog's skin. Try open their head and see is there any Venom Pearl or Soul Essence Pearl." the young master that used to all these sugar coating words immediately had the servant shut his mouth and quickly harvest the available materials dropped by the beast before he explores further.
"Young Master, is the weapon just now specially made to use in this mission?" The servant asked.
"Of course. Once father knows that there is a large amount of Venom King Bullfrog within the forest, he first prepare me three sets of the Jade Silversilk Glove that able to resist all kind of 1st Tier poison, and also a total of 25 Demonic Thunderclap Pearls." the young master happily shows the treasure in his hand, with a glove like weapon that enhances fire elemental power.

8 174Outer Sect Disciple
Gongsun Xianyuan, eleven years old, was a genius... or he should have been. Unfortunately when the Cultivator of the Wudang sect came to the village he found out that he had a rare condition that prevented him to cultivate in the arts of the sect. He didn't give up right away but in the end he had to resign himself to the truth. At first he despaired but he soon choose to let his dreams go and begin a new life. This is the tale of an untalented cultivator who had given up in his dreams of glory to live a normal life. How will his future unfold? ------------------------- My native language is neither English nor Chinese, I am writing a Xianxia novel because I like the genre. I have tried to maintain the chinese names and the form of address but I used the measurements of the international system(meters, grams, etc..) and the hour time(no incense stick, or others). It may spoil it for some but I think it would be easier both for me and the readers. Before you read keep in mind that this is a novel with a slow progress. I don't want to give any spoiler but at least a few chapters will be dedicated to his life in the village.

8 250Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.
8 923The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past. Cover made by me, here's a link for the high-resolution picture, (Was a bit lazy to fully clean up the drawing lol) (And by the way, it might just spoil juuuuust a little lol)
