《Old Cultivation Record》Chapter 23 - Peaches Are Worth Way More
Advertisement
What's up?
Not much. So what are you?
Cultivator, and I'm baller.
Awesome. I want your girl.
She can make her own choices. But I'm watching. Don't go too far.
…
…
“What's that?” Taylor asks.
“Oh, it's a new vacuum cleaner. This place stinks.” Daryl responds. “You've made a mess of the place.” He says.
“Awesome. Let me try it out. I should probably clean up.” Taylor says.
…
…
“What's that?” Daryl asks.
“It's a new juicer. More juice wouldn’t hurt, right?” Taylor responds.
“I got a few other things too." Taylor says. “And a few things are going to be delivered.” He says.
…
…
“Fuck, we have too much shit. We'll have to move to a new place soon. Somewhere a little more homely…” Taylor says.
“Hmmm… maybe I should find my own place.” Taylor says again.
“Why would you want to do that? I thought we were besties bro. Ride or die.” Daryl says with a laugh.
“I have a girlfriend, man. Having a private place to stay would probably be good.” Taylor responds.
“Fine.” Daryl responds. “But don't slow down the production. Now that people know this stuff exists, I don't think they can live without it.” He continues to say.
…
…
“Oh shit, here it is.” Taylor says to himself.
He opens the package to see a small rock. The other package had a stone bat.
Taylor immediately tried it out. He let his cultivation energy flow into the stone and felt it get heavier and heavier until it was difficult to lift.
“Awesome.” Taylor says.
There was also a note.
If you time the energy charge, it can get pretty heavy as you throw it. Much easier on the body. The same with the bat. If you time it right, the weight can increase at the end of the bat as you swing.

“Awesome. Doesn’t seem to shabby for a noob cultivator.” Taylor says to himself. “Now for the bat test.” Taylor says with a grin.
…
…
“Here we go. Boom!” Taylor says as the watermelon explodes from the crushing power of the bat.
“Rocked it. That was awesome.” Taylor says to himself.
“I wonder what else I can hit…” Taylor wonders as he looks for stuff to play with. “Or I guess I'll go cultivate…” Taylor says with a sigh.
He was almost not able to keep up with the demand for Burnout Water. Unfortunately there was no way he could produce more then he was already doing.
“Maybe I can trade the peaches for some Burnout Water. Other cultivators could do it; just not sure if there would be profit…” Taylor begins to wonder. But if he was being honest with himself, money was more useful than the peaches. The peaches restored cultivation energy at a fast pace, and it wasn't entirely useful for him given his lifestyle. He was content to live a normal life. He had no interest in finding treasure and having cultivator battles.
“I'll ask around.” Taylor confirms to himself. “It could be worth it.” He says.
…
…
How much Spiritual Water for a peach?
Man, why do you need Spiritual Water so bad. Just make your own. The peaches are worth way more.
Just let me know. I’m using it to make cash.
Lol. Whatever. Your loss. 10 Litres of Spiritual Water for a peach. What do you say?
Good to me. Thanks.
…
…
“You're upping production?” Daryl asks.
“Yup. Was hoping you could let the Demon Heart gang know. Not sure how high demand is.” Taylor says.
“Awesome, I'll let them know.” Daryl says with a grin as he imagined their future cash flow.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
