Chapter 2883: Chapter 2883 Item-Spirit Merger
Chapter 2883 Item-Spirit Merger
The matter of Crescent Moon Valley shook the entire academy, and the fighting within the God Institute had gone from being secret to overt. The disputes between Long Chen and Chu Kuang, as well as the head judge and Chu Huairen, had all been exposed during this trial.
Chu Kuang was someone famous within the entire academy. But Long Chen’s fame had already eclipsed his in just two short months.
Hence, the fighting between Chu Kuang and Long Chen became the most commonly discussed topic for the next few days. Many people were guessing just who was stronger.
One was an expert with an immense background. He possessed innate talent, and countless resources had also been spent on him.
The other was someone with an unclear background. He was a penniless newcomer who didn’t walk the ordinary path, relying entirely on his own power to reveal the power of a lower world ascender.
Many people knew of Chu Kuang’s powerful family background, but now they were even more interested in Long Chen.
As an ascender, he didn’t bring anything worth a single coin to the immortal world. He hadn’t even been able to pay the registration fee, instead becoming a worker, and with practically a cheat-level speed, he reached his current point in just a few short months. His fame and sharpness were unmatched.
In comparison, Chu Kuang’s accomplishments were nothing surprising. After all, he had such a huge background supporting him. His starting point was already higher than everyone else’s, so his accomplishments were natural.
However, when Long Chen joined the academy, Chu Kuang seemed to have met his nemesis. He was completely suppressed by Long Chen, repeatedly losing out to him.
This time, too many disciples had died in Crescent Moon Value. Not only were two Four Peak experts sentenced to death, but Chu Kuang also had to arrange compensation for the families of the dead.
If those families were unsatisfied with their compensation and requested a further investigation from the academy, then Chu Kuang would have to face even greater punishment.

It was rumored that the Chu family had spent hundreds of millions of immortal crystals to placate those families. That was just immortal crystals. There were also valuable weapons, medicinal pills, and other treasures. It could be said to be such a price that even the Chu family with its large business network felt some pain.
Other than the compensation to the families, there was also the High Firmament Academy’s fine. It was just that no one knew how big this fine was. But it had to be a frightening number.
“Damn, money really is the first requirement for cultivation.”
When Long Chen heard this news, he was so envious that he salivated. What he was lacking right now was precisely money.
Long Chen had borrowed money from Mu Qingyun and the rest of the Unfettered Alliance’s disciples in order to obtain just over eight million immortal crystals.
He then brought this money to the Pill Institute and bought over three thousand spirit medicines. These spirit medicines were all alive and rather valuable. Moreover, they weren’t easy to grow.
Just those spirit medicines cost him two million immortal crystals, paining him immensely. But there was no way around it. If he wanted to advance, he needed to spend money.
He then spent three million immortal crystals to buy a pill furnace that had reached the level of a Spirit item. His heart was bleeding. In the academy, money wasn’t easy to earn, but spending it was far too easy.
In the blink of an eye, five million immortal crystals flew away, but Long Chen didn’t dare to spend the remaining three million. He then returned to his abode and took out his newly bought pill furnace.
Long Chen sent a wisp of fire into the pill furnace, slowly lighting up the pill furnace’s runes. Spiritual qi started to naturally flow into it.
“As expected, cheap stuff isn’t good quality, and good quality isn’t cheap.” Long Chen felt a bit better when he saw how powerful it was. At least, this spending was worth it.

Long Chen reached out with his Spiritual Strength. There were some weak spiritual fluctuations from the pill furnace, but they were unclear and unable to form an effective connection with Long Chen.
A Spirit item. An item possessing its own soul and will. In the immortal world, all the laws were different, so for a weapon to give rise to a spirit was extremely difficult. It was said that Forging Masters could forge thousands and thousands of swords before succeeding in giving rise to a true Spirit item.
As for the other swords, they could be considered incomplete items. These incomplete items were lacking innately. Although they could help their masters a bit, their power was limited.
That was why true Spirit items were extremely expensive, and a pill furnace that had reached this level was even more precious.
This pill furnace possessed a healthy item-spirit, but compared to weapons, a pill furnace was different. Its spirituality was still extremely low, and it needed to constantly refine pills in order to raise its spirituality.
This pill furnace was newly forged, which was why it was only three million immortal crystals. If it was experienced and its item-spirit was fully activated, its price would be ten times greater, or perhaps even more.
Thus, if someone was using a pill furnace properly, it would not devalue and actually increase in value. The better it was used, the more valuable it became.
The reason why Long Chen bought a new one was because he couldn’t afford an older one that was experienced. Furthermore, he had a very brazen idea.
Long Chen took out another pill furnace. This pill furnace was the Moon and Star Refining Furnace he had used on the Martial Heaven Continent. But right now, its runes were dark and dull. It was like it was dead.
Long Chen then pressed his hand against the Moon and Star Refining Furnace. Specks of light began to appear in his hand.
This was the item-spirit of the Moon and Star Refining Furnace. After arriving in the immortal world, it had been suppressed into a seed. It was unable to merge with the laws here and had entered a state of deep slumber. If it remained in this state, then it wouldn’t be more than a few years before it was erased by the immortal world’s laws, wiped out of existence for eternity.
After extracting its item-spirit, the Moon and Star Refining Furnace instantly shattered before turning into ash.
The Moon and Star Refining Furnace was an item from the mortal world, so its runes were not recognized by the immortal world. Its item-spirit could not function here.
Hence, Long Chen slowly sent its item-spirit into the new pill furnace. He then encapsulated it with his Spiritual Strength, merging it with this new pill furnace’s item-spirit.
The new pill furnace still hadn’t recognized a master, so it could be considered a pure and empty spirit. It quickly merged with the Moon and Star Refining Furnace’s item-spirit.
After an incense stick’s worth of time, the pill furnace slowly began to shine. Long Chen smiled.
“Moon Refiner, you’re finally awake.” Long Chen’s voice was full of emotion. These spiritual fluctuations were all too familiar to him. It was no longer in its original body, but it was the same soul.
Those spiritual fluctuations were extremely weak. Moon Refiner had just merged into its new body. It was extremely weak and only able to reply with very simple thoughts.
However, that response was enough. Long Chen waved his hand, causing flames to soar within the pill furnace. It gradually warmed up, and its rune also slowly grew brighter.
“Hehe, Moon Refiner, Huo Long, we’re together again. Let’s see if we can refine a good furnace of pills,” said Long Chen, his eyes shining with anticipation. With the help of the Moon and Star Refining Furnace, he could quicken his pace on his cultivation path.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
