Chapter 1191
Write-in Disciple
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2023 BY KING-KONG
Half an hour later, Liu Ming stood with his hands behind his back in the small courtyard where he used to live.
At first glance, the place had been tidied up. Everything seemed to be the same as before, which made Liu Ming have a nostalgic feeling.
After casually wandering around in the small courtyard, he walked into the secret room. After sitting down cross-legged, his state of mind was extremely peaceful. He soon entered the state of emptiness.
At the same time, on the small square outside the main hall of the main peak of Savage Ghost Sect, a gray escape light descended from the sky and revealed the figure of the old man surnamed Yan.
At this moment, his brows were tightly wrinkled and his face seemed a little solemn as he strode into the hall.
As if hearing the movement, a small door on the side of the main hall was pushed open. An old man in sackcloth came out. It was Huang Shi.
“Could it be that Elder Liu did not agree to take over the Savage Ghost Sect?” Sect Master Huang Shi saw the solemn expression on the old man surnamed Yan, and he vaguely guessed something. He asked respectfully.
“Haiz, I already had a premonition before. After asking tentatively, his tone is quite firm. He won’t change his mind easily.” The old man surnamed Yan shook his head and said.
“Since this is the case, we can’t force him too much, otherwise it may be counterproductive.” Sect Master Huang Shi sighed after thinking about it.
“Of course, the future luck of our Savage Ghost Sect depends entirely on him. Unfortunately, if Liu Ming is willing to take over the power, our Savage Ghost Sect will be able to restore the glory when Grandmaster Liu Yin was alive…” Thinking of this, Master’s Junior Yan sighed again.
Sect Master Huang Shi also showed a regretful expression upon hearing this.
After a while, the old man surnamed Yan seemed to have thought of something. He took out a storage bracelet that Liu Ming gave him and handed it to Sect Master Huang Shi.
After Sect Master Huang Shi took the bracelet with some doubts, he used Divine Thought to probe it a little. A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.
“So… so many spiritual materials, and they seem to be of high quality! Could it be…these are all bestowed by Elder Liu?” Sect Master Huang Shi said in surprise.
“Exactly, it seems that the resources in the Middle Sky Continent are richer than the rumors. You can arrange these spiritual materials, but now the resources in the sect are tight, so remember to use them rationally.” The old man surnamed Yan ordered in a deep voice.
After thinking about it, he added another sentence,
“Right, we must allocate more training resources to the Nine Infant Faction.”
“Yes, I understand that of course.” The sect master hastily responded, put away the bracelet and left to make arrangements.
The night was fleeting.
In the early morning of the second day, in the main hall of Mountain Nine Infant, Liu Ming and the nun surnamed Zhong were sitting side by side, discussing some cultivation matters.

With Liu Ming’s current knowledge of cultivation, a random word of advice could enlighten the nun surnamed Zhong.
The nun surnamed Zhong practiced a yin fire attribute technique, but she had been stuck in the bottleneck of the Condensation Period intermediate stage for many years and failed to break through. After receiving some advice from Liu Ming, he naturally benefited a lot. There was a faint sign of a breakthrough.
The nun surnamed Zhong was overjoyed, but there was a hint of hesitation suddenly. She wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she still didn’t say a word.
“Master, just say if you have anything, don’t have any scruples.” Seeing the change in the nun surnamed Zhong’s expression, Liu Ming couldn’t help saying in surprise.
“Liu Ming. Apart from the disciples you met yesterday, there is actually one other disciple of the Nine Infant Faction who is not present. He just returned today. I wonder if you are interested in meeting him… It can be a chance for him.”
Liu Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He faintly understood the meaning of the nun surnamed Zhong, and he nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the nun surnamed Zhong showed a gleam of joy on his face. He cupped his fist. After a while, a young man n a taoist robe walked in.
“Disciple Zhong Wendao greets the grand elder.” The young man in a taoist robe was obviously excited. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately bowed down and fell to the ground, saying respectfully.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and scanned him with Divine Thought.
The young man in front of him had a dark skin, about 17 years old, and his cultivation was not bad. He had already reached the Spirit Apostle later stage.
After Liu Ming’s eyes stopped on the young man for a moment, he let out a sigh. He said slowly to the nun surnamed Zhong,
“Although this son only has the aptitude of Six Spiritual Pulse, he has a good yin bone spiritual body, but his cultivation should be stuck in the Spirit Apostle later stage for a long time, right?”
“To tell you the truth, he is a junior disciple of my family. Although his aptitude is average, he practices extremely hard. Now, he has stepped into the Spirit Apostle later stage. But because of my limited cultivation, I can’t let him make any progress. I wonder if you can give him some pointers.” The nun surnamed Zhong said hastily.
Liu Ming was silent for a while, then said with a smile,
“Since you are a junior disciple of master’s family, I will naturally do my best.”
In the following time, at Liu Ming’s request, the young man followed him into a secret room in the side hall and told the nun surnamed Zhong to wait outside to prevent anyone from disturbing him.
The secret room was not big, only a few dozen of meters in size. The furnishings inside were simple, but it seemed quite quiet.
The young man was sitting cross-legged on a bright yellow futon in the center of the room at the moment. Liu Ming casually walked to the side and said with a blank expression,

“Close your eyes and relax.”
Hearing this, the young man in a taoist robe quickly closed his eyes.
After Liu Ming looked at him for a while, he raised his eyebrows, stretched out one hand, and spread his fingers. A black mist as thick as liquid rolled out of his palm, and it slowly spread on the young man’s body. A wist of mist was split out and surged into the top of his head.
The young man in taoist robe first frowned. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, looking quite painful.
But as Liu Ming continued to cast spells, the black liquid mist gradually enveloped his whole body. He hummed lightly, and his brows relaxed, showing an extremely comfortable expression.
The next moment, Liu Ming turned his hands. The black mist surged out from the head of the young man and returned to Liu Ming.
“I’ve left some spiritual power in your body, now you try to condense the spiritual power in your sea of consciousness together.” Looking at the slightly surprised expression of the young man in a taoist robe, Liu Ming said lightly.
This kid was quite clever. He didn’t ask too many questions. He hurriedly started to channel spiritual power according to Liu Ming’s instructions.
2 hours passed by in a flash.
The young man in a taoist robe suddenly let out a long sigh with an eased expression. He opened his eyes suddenly, and the eyes were gleaming.
At this moment, if someone scanned him with Divine Thought, he would find that the true spirit power that originally flowed like mist in his dantian had all turned into a rather viscous black liquid at this moment.
The young man clenched his fists, felt the changes in his body, and then looked at Liu Ming in disbelief. He seemed to have thought of something, then he jumped up and knelt down at Liu Ming.
“If senior doesn’t mind, Junior Zhong Wendao wants to become senior’s disciple. I’m willing to serve senior for my life.” Before Liu Ming could speak, the young man in a taoist robe said in a rather sincere tone.
“Did you not have a master before?” Liu Ming was startled when he heard this, then he said with a normal expression.
“Junior has been taught by Grandmother Zhong before, and I have not done the ceremony of apprenticeship like other people. Senior just helped me advance to the Condensation Period easily. I have never seen such power before. I hope senior can fulfill my wish…” The young boy in a taoist robe said truthfully.
Liu Ming frowned. He touched his chin with one hand and thought for a long time, then he said in a deep voice,
“I have no intention of accepting disciple, but since you have a rare yin bone spiritual body, which is quite suitable for practicing a kind of technique that I know. You and I seem to be bound by destiny. If that is the case, I can accept you as my write-in disciple, are you willing?”
“Disciple Zhong Wendao greets master.”
When Zhong Wendao heard this, he immediately showed ecstasy and bowed to Liu Ming as his master.
Looking at Zhong Wendao’s respectful expression, Liu Ming nodded slightly.
“Okay, since you are my write-in disciple, I will grant you some benefits. This is the first 9 levels of the Hell Bone Secret, which are very suitable for your yin bone spiritual body. If you practice diligently, your cultivation is bound to rise.”
After saying that, Liu Ming launched a jade slip. The jade slip spun and suspended before Zhong Wendao.
Back then, Master Ruan had limited cultivation and the copy of the Hell Bone Secret was missing some parts, so he mistakenly thought that this Hell Bone Secret could only be cultivated by Three Spiritual Pulse. Now, there were such worries after he got the full version from the Tomb of Serene King.
“Thank you for the reward, Master.”
Although Zhong Wendao didn’t know how powerful this technique was, since it was bestowed by Liu Ming, he knew it must be extraordinary. He received it with both hands respectfully.
In the following time, Liu Ming pointed out some cultivation issues to the young man in a taoist robe, then he gave him some elixirs that would help stabilize his cultivation and a few spiritual weapons that he could use in the future.
Although Zhong Wendao’s cultivation was not high, he could also see the extraordinariness of these elixirs and spiritual weapons, so he kowtowed to thank Liu Ming again.
“You have just advanced to Condensation Period. You have to concentrate on practicing for a period of time to stabilize your realm, otherwise it will be bad for your future cultivation. Well, let’s go out.” Liu Ming finally gave him a reminder.
Zhong Wendao nodded again and again, then he left the secret room.
Liu Ming stood there silently for a moment, then he walked toward the door of the secret room.
Accepting this write-in disciple was not done on a whim.
The Sea Region’s spiritual veins were poor and its resources are scarce, so it was really not suitable for a Real Pellet State cultivator like him to live here for a long time.
After the Sea Emperor Palace was eliminated, he would try to find a way to return to the Middle Sky Continent.
Accepting a write-in disciple could be regarded as leaving a descendant in Yunchuan Continent, so that he could take care of Savage Ghost Sect for him in the future. It could be regarded as completing what he promised Yin Liu back then.
Outside the secret room, the nun surnamed Zhong was astounded to see that Zhong Wendao had advanced to the Condensation Period. She naturally admired Liu Ming’s extraordinary means.
Hearing that Liu Ming had accepted Zhong Wendao as a write-in disciple, the nun surnamed Zhong was even more overjoyed.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
