I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but Isaac doesn't even know who his parents are. He grew up in a place called the farm, which is essentially a breeding ground for humans. Slaves are put there and forced to reproduce to supplement the Sect's population. It's cruel, but it's also necessary since it provides almost all their young recruits and the Sect would soon crumble without the farm.

yeah
ch 101 Who's in His Group?
Eastern · goofy_little_man
These are the same pills he used at lower stage, he just has to refine the Qi a bit more at his meridian point when he absorbs it.
Middle stage Qi just wouldn't cut it anymore; it wouldn't make his Qi Core any stronger. He needed Qi of higher quality.

He is, but most people think he's a second class talent due to his cultivation speed and him living where most of the second class talents picked houses.
Lara took another sip of her tea and put the now-empty cup down. She'd done some research on Johan's 'team leader' and looked into who Isaac was. Just like everybody else, she heard that Isaac was a 2nd class talent (Isaac wasn't trying to hide his true talent, but he'd never mentioned it to anybody other than Eva) and that he was skilled with the sword.

The alarm system is set to trigger when the string is pulled (so pulling the handle down would trigger the alarm). Directly cutting it wouldn't cause a pulling motion, so it wouldn't activate the alarm.
ch 92 Catching the Wave

Wait and see :)
ch 90 A New Alliance?
Eastern · goofy_little_man
She's not the heir yet, the competition between her and Johan is still ongoing. The reason her position is so favourable is because, since they have a method to improve talent, the Sect values intelligence, cunning, determination, hard work etc. more than talent. Lara has shown she's an absolute genius with a good work ethic since she was young, so many people think she would make a better family leader than Johan. Her position is also largely due to a factor which will be explained later.

Thanks to TheAddictedOtaku, TheAntiSimp and Fhjbvdg for leaving power stones. Thanks to supercat_12000, HaracasAye and joaos for sticking with the book and continuing to support it all the way until now. Thanks to everybody else who's supported the book and shown love. I can't name everybody, but just know your contributions have not gone unappreciated.
ch 73 Showdown

I mean... where would they even get the funds to found a sect?
ch 69 Danger Approaches
Eastern · goofy_little_man
Only just realised I missed an upload earlier, so this is a bit late. There'll still be another chapter later, so I apologise for my negligence.
ch 68 Know Your Enemy and Know Yourself

Thanks, I really appreciate that and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
ch 62 Deciding on a Mission
Eastern · goofy_little_man
What an absolute hero. Later on in the book there’ll be lots of cruel and evil deeds, but moments like this show that Blood Path cultivators aren’t all bad.
Mikhail gritted his teeth and drew upon the energy stored in the walls of his Qi Core. Tears fell uncontrollably as an indescribable agony overcame him, but he persevered; he forcibly sucked the Qi out of his core's walls and transported it through his Qi Veins towards the Anima in his hand. It felt like a thousand maggots had been placed his stomach and told to eat their way out – the pain was horrifying. It took all of Mikhail's energy and endurance to fire 5 small beams of light. Then he collapsed.

Call me stubborn, but I'm deliberately avoiding reading other novels so that I can focus on developing my own writing style. Even if it's foolish or inefficient, I want to create a style that's entirely my own (in fact, I'm beginning to regret using Anima instead of creating a completely original idea, but it's too late to do anything about that). I'm confident I can come up with my own schemes and plots, and I'm equally confident I can fix the error in my writing style that you've pointed out (though you won't see those improvements until chapter 80 - I'm just finishing 82 now).
ch 51 Putting the Hours In
Eastern · goofy_little_man
The lack of interesting content was something I picked up on after writing this section, so dialogue became a focus in the next few chapters. I'm still working on removing unnecessary explanations, but as long as I know what the problem is, it's only a matter of time until it get fixed. The issue is the problems I don't know I have, which is why comments like this are so important. Thanks for your review as well, it helped me to see an error in my writing and overcome a bottleneck in developing my style.
ch 50 Undergoing Practice and Making Arrangements
Eastern · goofy_little_man
I feel like I spend too much time describing what a character is thinking about doing, when I could just describe them actually doing it instead. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but the point is that I'll try to make the novel more exciting by removing wasted words and unnecessary explanations. That way we can get to the important parts quicker.
ch 49 Fresh Orders
Eastern · goofy_little_man
The upload schedule will be awful and that won't change. Not only will I be inconsistent with uploads, but I also predict that the time between uploads will be quite long. If you can't get on board with that, go and read something else because, as I mentioned above, I'm writing this for myself: it's not for money and it's not for you guys, I just thought it would be fun to share my work here rather than let it rot in a folder on my phone.
