《The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara 》Chapter 118: Six Months Later
Advertisement
Elder Wang, developed the locks to the store and vault, as well as the development of the smithy and other ideas he had imputed over time…
Elder Chen had been drilling not only the kids but other experts continuously and it was showing in the amount of workload they were able to do on daily basis; after all, stronger tribesmen means faster construction, farming and development of the tribe overall, and thus, he was also deserving of a bonus for his efforts…
Elder Long told them about the Qi Stones in the first place, thus he also deserves a bonus, and he was also able to specialize the entire tribe and Obuns to where their talents would be efficiently needed…
Then there was the fact that he was like the intermediary between the people and the Elders which saved all the Elders a lot of stress because if each tribesman were to come make their complaints and issues individually, it would definitely weigh on the Elders and thus prevent them from thinking at their highest capability…
He also teaches them basic boxing, and sumo skills, and thus, he also deserves a bonus…
Elder Ting was a healer and she had been tending to everyone who had any level of discomfort even before she arrived within the tribe and she had also been doing some experiments with some herbs and was able to develop a concoction that helps reduce pain when people get injured and are about to be treated…
She had also managed to mix the glue like wax from the trees which Dara used to seal the seams in the water wheel with some natural healthy herbs and use them as coagulants to stop bleeding or seal any poked or open wounds, and due to that, she had developed a strong teamwork with Elder Lin, and all these were also bonus worthy…

The First and Second Obun Elder were also given some bonuses for creating a means of communication between the Obuns and humans which actually helped both group relate better, mingle better and regard one another as colleague rather than humans and monsters;
Then they were also in charge of teaching the human language to the Obuns, so they were also Oscar worthy, and were each given bonuses too…
The two experts who tested the weapons were also given a Qi Stone each, and thus, when they returned to the tribe…
The kids were to be given a Qi Stone every two years as that was the estimated amount of time it was calculated that they would be taking before they can completely absorb all the Qi within a Qi Stone, the teenagers on the other hand were given yearly, whilst the youths and adults were to be given a Qi Stone every six months…
Dara on the other hand would be given one percent of every Qi Stones [filled] they manage to plunder whenever they went to raid any future Qi Stone Farm which he had calculated would be between [10 – 20 Qi Stones]…
But since there was no cultivation technique yet, no one was to be given any Qi Stones yet, and they were also required to open their meridians using the natural Qi in the atmosphere which had been purified by the nature around them [The pink, purple, yellow and white flowers] which grew out of the Qi Stone in the ground that absorbs Qi from the ground and purify it within themselves before releasing the pure Qi into the atmosphere whenever they bloomed…
The group returned to the tribe as Elder Smith began mass producing building materials which were of utmost importance, whilst Dara's troop kept going back to the cave to excavate more Qi Stones…

Elder Lin continued her tasks giving Dara the sex of his life every single night, and since Uncle Min now had a lady, there was no point in her hiding anything anymore;
So she mostly spent her nights with Dara in bed, except whenever he wants to take a stroll in the ambient romantic nights with her or simply cultivate solidifying his meridians whilst trying to open the next volume of the [Asura Testaments] of the [Numen of Ancient Scholars] technique;
But no matter how hard he tried, he was simply getting other information which he didn't know what to use them for…
Elder Min and Elder Wang went about their infrastructural upgrades and construction began the next day after the sword testing; they started by using the blank steel slabs Elder Smith had forged earlier to begin building a new wall around the entire tribe, but they also used numerous logs of wood and wet-soils which becomes stronger than concrete once they dry…
Elder Ting was already continued her research on how to rehabilitate the Obuns and turn them back to humans, whilst Elder Chen and Elder Long continued to train the tribe in different but specified combat styles;
Elder Long was able to grasp the sword art [Deforestation] after about six months of learning it, whilst Elder Chen became adept at archery but that was still basic as they have yet to obtain a technique in archery or any other weapon, but he also became adept at melee, and soon enough, the tribe produced about 100 Peak Qi Creation experts who were as good as using the sword art as Meng and Kang…
Then they were all given steel swords as Dara still opted against the new sword which could affect them in battle, but the Qi Stone dust was already being used in other development tools, like machetes and axes for cutting logs, hammers for driving the steel bars into the ground, spades and shovels for farming;
Furthermore, the people wielding them were warned not to use their Qi to prevent injuring others, but that was after two Obuns already fell prey with one losing his arm and the other unfortunately losing its life…
The First and Second Obun Elders on the other hand, joined Dara every time he went out to excavate more Qi Stones, and just like that time passed, and soon enough six month had gone by, and it was only a week away till the season of war would come again…

Myscreth
At its core, magic is just the ability to change the laws of nature. Mason Grant's life was going just as he'd always planned. Then a knock at the door changed everything.

Of course, that was before he saw his couch resting on the ceiling. Travelling to Myscreth with the Professor, Mason discovers a world of contradictions. On a ruined world, the Myscrethian people live much like the early American settlers, yet thanks to the ability to manipulate the laws of nature there’s unlimited electricity and powered flight.

Keepers of the Neeft
The Indigo Empire has conquered half the world’s nations, their people, and their gods. According to its citizens, old and new, the rest of the world will follow. In the capital of the Throne-home, the Imperial Academy produces the next generation of great leaders to drive that expansion. Cadryn Bence knows he will be one such leader, he’s overcome his common birth, mixed heritage, and every other obstacle to be the top of his class. He dreams of glory on the southern front against the Gravanik States. He will not be finding it. Instead, if the glory he expects. Far to the north, lies the unassumingly named North-Eastern Extreme Frontier Tower, a backwater post if ever there were one. Through the machinations of the Emperor’s state religion, and a cult within it, Cadryn will find himself on his way to this first assignment. On the frontier, Cadryn will discover that neither his campions, nor the Neeft itself, are what he expects. Follow Cadryn on his journey to discover many truths: about himself, about the Empire, and about the very world he call home. ****** Keepers of the Neeft is a (bit dark) fantasy story revolving around Cadryn and his journey of discovery. There’s a fairly wide cast of supporting characters (his fellow Keepers) all with their own reasons and motivations behind how they came to be at the Neeft. Current release plan is to have part 2 completed, then fully edit up till the end of part 2. I am in the process of editing the earlier content as I complete the updates/re-writes. Apologies for any rough content in the meantime. My primary objective with Keepers of the Neeft is to work on developing content flow and establishing a community of people who enjoy my writing style. I write SF/F and horror as my primary genres, Keepers is actually my 3rd novel length work, but my current project. Updates of new Content will currently be in the form of one larger post on Tuesdays.
