Cultivation Online Chapter 190

"What is this instrument called?" Yuan asked after seeing the instrument that resembled a guitar.
"This instrument is called a pipa," Fei Yuyan quickly responded.
'A pipa, huh… I wonder if it functions similar to the guitar…' Yuan wondered to himself as they wandered around the room, admiring the beautifully crafted instruments inside the display case.
After spending a couple of minutes in the pipa room, they went to another room.
"This instrument resembles a violin…" Yuan mumbled after seeing this mallet-shaped instrument with a thin handle, and there was even a bow beside it exactly like a violin.
"I have never heard of a 'violin' but this instrument is called an erhu. You place it on your thighs and use that bow to play the strings." Fei Yuyan briefly explained to him.
"I see…" Yuan nodded.
Sometime later, they left the room with erhu and entered the last room in the building.
"Do you recognize these instruments, Disciple Yuan?" Fei Yuyan asked him in a sarcastic voice inside the room filled with nothing but zithers.
Yuan smiled and played along with her, "I don't know, but they seem very familiar."
"Anyway, look at this zither over here." Fei Yuyan then pointed at the zither in one of the display cases and continued, "This is a Heaven-grade zither made from Ice Jade, a very rare material, and rumor has it that it was once owned by the Zither Goddess. The name of this zither is Eternal Imprisonment."
"Zither Goddess? What kind of person is this Zither Goddess?" Yuan asked, feeling more interested in the individual than the zither.
"The number one zither expert in this world. If the Zither Goddess claims to be the second-best zither player in this world, nobody would dare to claim first. There are even legends of the Zither Goddess creating life and stars with her zither music."

"Creating life with music? I cannot imagine such a thing…" Yuan shook his head.
"That's just a legend, but if the Zither Goddess is real, I'd love to meet someone like her." Fei Yuyan sighed with a longing feeling in her eyes.
"Perhaps Yuan might become the Zither God one day," Xuan Wuhan suddenly said in a joking tone.
"The Zither God?" Fei Yuyan looked at Yuan with a weird expression on her face, mostly because she was trying to imagine Yuan as the Zither God, but alas, she could not put together such an image no matter how much she tried.
"Anyway, let's continue looking around. After we finish seeing these rooms, we can take a look at their store and see if there's anything to buy." Fei Yuyan said.
They returned to looking at zither a moment later while Fei Yuyan gave Yuan brief history lessons on almost all of the zithers there.
If Fei Yuyan changed her disciple uniforms to one of the uniforms in this place, the guests would never realize it.
Sometime later, Fei Yuyan brought them out of the zither room before taking them to this massive courtyard behind the store.
Inside the courtyard, there were about a dozen display cases placed in an orderly fashion, and inside these display cases were instruments with a price tag.
Yuan approached one of these display cases that was showcasing a black-colored dizi.
[Black Sparrow Flute]
[Grade: Earth]
[Quality: High]
[Description: A bamboo flute made of black bamboo found in the Black Sparrow Forest]
[Price: 5,000,000 gold coins or 500 spirit stones]
"F-Five million gold?!" Yuan's jaw dropped slightly after seeing the price tag.
"Wow, it's pretty cheap, especially since it's a high-quality Earth-grade treasure." Fei Yuyan appeared behind Yuan and said.

"This is cheap?" Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he asked a moment later, "By the way, what are spirit stones?"
"Spirit stones are a major cultivation resource for Cultivators, and not only can they be used as currency but a single one of them is worth about 10,000 gold coins. However, people still prefer trading with gold coins since they'd rather use spirit stones to improve their cultivation." Fei Yuyan explained to him.
"I see…" Yuan nodded.
"If this was a zither, I would've probably bought it, but alas… I don't play the dizi…" Fei Yuyan shook her head at the Black Sparrow Flute before walking to the next display case that was showcasing another high-quality Earth-grade treasure— a red-colored pipa with a price tag of 8 million gold coins or 800 spirit stones.
A few minutes later, Fei Yuyan sighed loudly, "How unfortunate. There's not a single zither instrument being sold today. The last time I was here, there were 3 of them being sold!"
"Is this everything to see in this place? Where should we go next? There's still plenty of time." Xuan Wuhan said.
"Who said we're done here? There's still one more place in this store that I want to show you, especially Disciple Yuan." Fei Yuyan said while looking at Yuan with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Come with me!" she said before walking off on her own.
Seeing this, Yuan quickly followed her, and the others followed him.
A couple of minutes later, they arrive at this mysterious and silent place with two guards standing beside this door that emitted an ominous feeling, both of them peak Spirit Warriors.
"Where are we? I don't think we're supposed to be here!" Xuan Wuhan said to Fei Yuyan.
"Of course this is not a place for the public. Only those who'd place top ten in the previous zither competition can come here, and since I'd placed 7th, I am allowed to go inside. However, I can only bring one person along with me, and I'll be bringing Disciple Yuan."
"Eh? That's not fair." Xuan Wuhan immediately complained.
"If you can play the zither even half as decent as Disciple Yuan, I might consider bringing you inside later. Otherwise, it'd be just a waste of my time, and effort," Fei Yuyan shook her head.
"You…" Xuan Wuhan narrowed her eyes at Fei Yuyan, but alas, she couldn't play the zither at all.
Fei Yuyan no longer paid attention to Xuan Wuhan and turned to look at Yuan.
"Follow me," she said to him.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.

King Eden
Two hundred years have passed and the Earth belongs to the corrupt. Society is reduced to clandestine tribes of survivors who indulge in warfare, battling one another over desolate wastelands. They are the Ancients, and Eden is their Lord. Legends cannot capture her skill as a warrior, but these stories of her ruthless past secure her title as King. A centuries-old war ravages her homeland. The tribes must unite against a force that outweighs the unnatural resilience of Earth's survivors. Mars: a utopia of refugees who outlasted the apocalypse. They spent the nuclear winter pushing the boundaries of military technology, sacrificing their resources to satisfy their greed. Now the Martian Colonies are unsustainable. Their Minister vows to reclaim the Earth for his people's sake--and he will stop at nothing to bring King Eden's reign to an end. When the Martians capture her heir to the throne, King abandons her homeland to regain the one thing that makes her human. This faces King with a savage choice: surrender to Mars in exchange for her son and the enslavement of her people, or challenge the Minister's army of metal titans and nightmarish experiments. Failure is inevitable, victory promises sacrifice. But King is no stranger to an impossible fight. After all, she is the Lord of Ancients, and power is indeed in the hands of the bloodthirsty.

Notebook of possibilities
First of all, to those who started reading this I want to apologize. While it does have a ring of a nice story title, this is going to be a place where I take the Sparks of interest from other stories or random ideas and just put it down, I'm not sure how exactly but the title should summarize the basics of what is held within. To say it's a waste isn't accurate, to ask the question why is a good start, why would I want this? Because when I read a story I want to think of so many things I may see or find in the world they envision, all the possibilities that could come about, and maybe, just maybe, some author out there can get their hands on this and it will be a spark of creativity for them to make a new chapter and see their world even a smidge closer to what I think it could be. It is tagged as fanfiction for it will pertain to numerous stories, not simply one in particular. Currently it will include; Oblivion Online Dungeon Heart And many more to be listed as they appear.
