Google Docs LinkTitus Adiar - AeroDynamic“Are you sure you’re too busy to join me tonight?” Titus spoke into the terminal attached to his wrist.“Yes. Enjoy with Polly without me. I’d rather tough it out another night than get chewed out by you and the other shareholders if I don’t deal with this properly.”“Haha, the woes of a CEO never cease. If you think like that, you won’t have a chance to do anything but work!”“...Talk t...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 85: Murder

Corpo Age - Chapter 174: Setting the Stage
Google Docs LinkHaving parted with Raven, Commander Poltrix didn’t dawdle and walked at a brisk pace. The large figure in power armor noisily walked past a patrol without stopping. The patrols had to quickly move out of the way and salute the man, not daring to move until their superior was a distance away.I continued following him through the snaked corridors of the facility. His fast pace actually worked out better for me, as my Shade was on ...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 84: Traditional Alchemy
Google Docs LinkLi Lang quickly accepted the reality of having to carry his new pill furnace around from now on. It was almost the size of a person, but with his cultivation now in the fifth stage of Energy Gathering, it shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.“Now then.

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 83: Back to the Basics
Google Docs LinkA week passed, and Li Lang was hit with a hard truth.Brushweaver tools were expensive.The Elemental Serpent fang and Silver Thorn Lion mane he used for his Moon Brush were way out of his budget.

Only those in the Foundation Establishment realm could reliably hunt for them.The new ...
Corpo Age - Chapter 173: Scouting the Facility
Google Docs LinkThe next day, I returned to the lab once again.

It...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 82: Brushweaver Guild
Google Docs Link“Sir…You are?” Li Lang cautiously asked the muscular man by the door.He had a suspicion that this was the proctor for his Brushweaver test, but that would also mean he was an esteemed one star Brushweaver. Li Lang’s mind just couldn’t make the connection between the brawny man before him with someone who elegantly held a brush.“I am Bai Yunfeng, the one star Brushweaver in charge of your test,” the man gallantly decl...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 81: True Craftsmen
Google Docs LinkLi Lang’s abrupt actions had startled his two companions.

I think I’m in the fifth stage now!”It was only at his words that his two companions noticed the aura coming from...

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 80: Weapon Inscription

He disassembled the spear and began inscribing on the interior side of the weapon before he finally se...

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 79: Inscribing
Google Docs Link“Master Yi Lin, how can you possibly have such bad handwriting?” Li Lang asked the moment he stepped into the study.Yi Lin stared blankly for a brief moment at the sudden question before scratching his head.“Oh…That was why I was young. I’ve improved…over the years. And I told you to just call me Yi Lin. No need to add master.”“...I still can’t read any of this.”“Haha, my master used to have the same kind of ...
The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 78: Searching for Meridians
Google Docs LinkNow then, how should I proceed with studying spiritual roots?Li Lang dove into his old memories of the few cultivation novels he had read.

Many of them never went into detail about how, except to absorb energy, but cultivation often had something to do with the meridians.So far, he hadn’t heard anyone mentioning meridians, but...

Google Docs LinkThorne - Halls Corporation“We have submitted your request for an appointment, sir.

Hope you all had a great weekend.Google Docs LinkAs a dozen young Brushweavers concentrated on their work, Li Lang silently observed them.On each desk was a small stack of talisman paper and ink.

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 72: Possession Type
Google Docs LinkAs soon as the match started, Li Lang didn’t hesitate to unleash his Veiling Shroud Qi art. A cloud of grey smoke quickly took over the platform they fought on.This was because Li Lang didn’t doubt his opponent had already learned about the technique he had just employed the previous round. No matter how good Long Yi was at distracting, Bai Yuchen would have to be blind to not have noticed all the smoke.Another reason why Li L...
