《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 136: Meeting Old Acquaintances
Advertisement
Days passed swiftly.
To say that Lin Xiao didn't make use of the situation would be a very insulting statement. By now, Lin Xiao and the others have already gathered so many herbs but still left the roots inside to allow the herbs to grow again. In many years to come, the place would be filled with plenty of herbs once more.
"This should be enough."
"Shall we head back now?" Lin Xiao asked and looked into the forest once more. He felt a bit bitter about leaving this place that was rich with herbs but with Wenren Yu and Lin Yun, the three of them had almost caused this place to be bare of herbs.
"Sure."
"Let's take a detour so that we won't be close with Ri Village."
Since they were heading straight to the edge from Ri Village, they would be heading to the same village if they didn't take any detour. Both Lin Yun and Wenren Yu agreed with what Lin Xiao said because they had no intention to visit that village and possibly got into trouble.
After roasting some meat to eat, they departed once more.
This time, they were moving a bit to the West to avoid Ri Village. The route was different than before but with the help of the sun, it allowed them to know the direction towards Feng Yi City.
"By the way, do you think that Elder Wang will want us to find other method to search for money?" Lin Xiao asked when they were on the route.
Wenren Yu furrowed his brows. "He couldn't be thinking of having you sell medicine, right?"
"We'll make a lot of enemies if Lin Xiao have to sell medicine."
Lin Xiao: "…"
He knew that he was bad at making medicine, but it shouldn't that bad? At worst, shouldn't they just go bankrupt and unable to do their business?

Lin Yun chuckled at the sight of his brother's face. "What do you think you can do to earn money, Brother?"
"I can be an errand boy like what I used to do."
In the village, Lin Xiao had already spent a long period of time to do what the villagers wanted him to do just to earn some money. When it came to menial task, he was fairly good at it despite the unconventional means that he chose to adopt when there were no tools.
"That'll take a long time to make profit."
"Then…"
"The easiest method to earn money is to have store that sells something that many other people want," Wenren Yu said unhurriedly. He passed a glance at Lin Xiao. "Which is why store that sells medicine are popular because a lot of people need pills to aid in their cultivation or to heal their wounds."
Lin Xiao furrowed his brows. He had the feeling that when it came to earning money, he would be very bad. Aside from doing some menial task, he didn't really know what he was supposed to do or could do.
"Anyway, the auction should be held right on time when we return. At that time, we'll see how much money we can make."
"Right."
Because of the mission, Lin Xiao nearly forgot about the auction. Since the owner wanted to hype the items sold, including the Night Yin Flower, they were already advertising everywhere. Those who needed the treasures were flocking to the monthly auction from the two auction houses.
The two of them were bitter rivals, but they didn't dare to hold auction at the same time as the other auction. After all, there might be powerful people who wanted items from both places but unable to act on his own if the time was the same. Unless the two auction houses wanted to create trouble, they wouldn't do something like that.

"Hmm?"
"What is it, Brother?'
Lin Xiao looked into a distance with narrowed eyes. His keen senses faintly hear human's voices. However, they couldn't see anything in this dense forest. All he knew was that in that distance, there should be several people who were talking.
Or fighting?
"There are someone over there."
"You want to take a look?" Wenren Yu was stunned.
"Yep."
"What if…"
"Don't worry, let's go."
The other two could only smile bitterly as they followed Lin Xiao. By this time, they already knew that when it came to Lin Xiao, they would surely enter into a trouble because of some matters.
For the nth time.
Swish!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Pass! Next!"
The sound of loud cheering entered their ears. By this time, Wenren Yu could finally see the large building that was previously hidden by the tall trees. His pupil constricted and he turned to look towards Lin Xiao.
"Master, we're in Wang Luo Sect."
"Eh?"
Lin Xiao paused on his steps. He could already see the entrance towards a building and also so many people were in front of it. There were also several smaller buildings nearby, but the large circular building at the center was the main attraction of this place.
Rummaging through his memory, Lin Xiao finally recalled that Wang Luo Sect was located not far from Feng Yi City. If he was not wrong, it was slightly to the west….
Oh right, they were using the west route.
Previously, they didn't stumble onto this place because they passed by Ri Village. But now, they would be stumbling across this place since they were using different route.
"You're too slow! Move on!"
The shout attracted their attention. Lin Xiao's pupil dilated when he saw the familiar face standing at the back. A smile crept from the corner of his mouth. "We meet again, Luo Lan."
"Luo Lan? Where?"
Lin Xiao chose to step out from the forest and entered the small city. To call it a city would be a bit of exaggeration because it was simply a small areas filled with buildings with Wang Luo Sect at the center.
"Brother…"
Both Wenren Yu and Lin Yun sighed. They knew that trouble was brewing again.

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

As the continent in its entirety is submitted to the absolute rule of an undead stories arise of inhuman creatures that led his majesty's armies to terrifying success. While the demon lord grasps the entire world in his hand, generals and comrades eleven of his most loyal and trusted serve as the extension of his will and power.

Who knows, maybe he will even get a better name than Gob in the process... The story is posted daily in short chapters (from 900 to 2000 words per chapter) The story is NOT an Isekai. It's a high fantasy story with isekai element's at best (Majin lord is a Majin after all). I spent some time to create a custom, magic system I hope to properly explore together with you my dear reader. So what are you doing? Go read those early chapters! The story is said to only get better after you drink it... I mean read it. Seriously. After 15 chapters you won't stop. I just feel like pointing something out. I never read "The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale" which seems to be the first thing my fiction will be compared to... P.S. Cover artwork was made by my very own me (hurray me!) PM if you want something painted (no promises). I sometimes lurk in RR discord.
