It really is, too. There are some incredibly detailed simulations. I had one of my inner sect disciples sever an attacker's Yin and Yang channels last night. Separately, that is. I have no idea what that means to someone who didn't get brutally murdered from half the map away by a flying "treasure" (a pair of pants in this case -- no word if they glistened with spikes of marble, alas), but I'm sure it does something.

The Cult of Bčn was born from a tragic origin. Though our forefather Taiyi Sect may have befallen under the cowardly ambush of evil intentions, destiny brought us founders to this land to rebuild with hope. It is through this humble resolve that we established the full embracement of egalitarian and care for all downtrodden. This sect belongs to everyone. (With hierarchy)


No matter how poor and ugly…


Disable or tragic…


Anomalous or regretful…


This place is our home.


Including this snake. Hopefully.


After the left rib cracked incident, Radio Free Kobold realized that he is weak. So weak that a snake somehow cracked his calcium-deficient left rib.


From here on, he will stop working and use all his free time to cultivate into an inner. To become strong enough to protect his brother and sister. To protect everyone from snakes that can crack a rib.


Then, he will get those Longevity Stream Water that can prolong lifespan by 99 years near our sect.


As soon as he can woo the nice old lady to let him harvest it.


Oh no, the snake is waking up and ready to leave.


Wait, it’s trying to crack our Feng Shui!


FENCE IT IN!


WE NEED IT TO CRACK OUR BAD LUCK!


Build a smithy now! We need the bow that tranquilize beast! This snake MUST stay with us!


Our Orrery could only last for a few dozen days at this rate!


The smithy is ready.


But who should have the honor of capturing the luck cracking snake? Wait… does that mean Radio Free Kobold’s luck got cracked?


This mystical event might goes deeper than we thought! We might need the sect master to deal with this shenanigans calamity of fate!


But he would not be pleased if we haven’t finish building his Extremely Aupicious Earth Wall Metal Bed room.


Then who should shoot the snake? Should we wait for Hats to decides when he returns? Can Radio Free Kobold run the risk of being cracked again?


Perhaps he feels a strange affinity of destiny with the snake, Radio Free Kobold decided to cultivate his foundation in front of the snake.


The bow is done. It is time to choose who t-


The snake starved into coma, time to feed.


Kidz to the rescue!


The snake is happy for now, but it hasn’t completely trust scary human and unlucky rock.


We could try feeding it better food, but the kitchen construction has been stalled for some reason.


Was it due to the resource intensive food freezer storage connected to the kitchen…


The Treasure Refining Platform and Pill Furnace near Hats’ room?


Or this highly important Auspicious training dummy for foundation building in front of the snake?


Everyone have been demanding it after Radio Free Kobold claimed it gave him a huge boost in his cultivation.


And his dementia.


Only one way to find out, Bčn style!


The snake woke up and continue to attack our bad luck.


Hats’ room is done, and it’s extremely aupicious! Most certainly due to the snake’s effort. Now we will wait for him to send back one more wave of student(s) before coming back to cultivate.

I'd assume it means they can no longer cultivate yin OR yang arts now and as such are basically crippled martial arts wise.

All other arts/laws are normal. This one is specifically a tribute to the Sunflower Manual based in the popular novel The smiling, Proud Wonderer by Jing Yong. The infamous arts of Undefeated of the East.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
If I wanted to buy this game, where could I get it from? This is honestly weirdly charming and I appreciate that Nyaa is going the distance to make it accessible to us uncultured westerners who cannot appreciate it in the original language.

Nothing good will last forever, but Happerry will make sure it lasts a drat long time.


Goodness, if only Radio Free Kobold could train as hard as this special snake.


To honor its great contribution, we will plant some Wood Element Grass under it to empowers the snake to hit the Earth Element Orrery stone with more Feng Shui Negative Force!


However, instead of getting positive energy like Spring Air, we are getting showered by a negative wave of melancholy. This means we did it wrong, and should go all out to fix this snake-on-orrery feng shui enigma.


First, we will get these higher grade Wood Element Spirit Wood. They have the special properties of gathering 20 units of QI in the range of 4. An essential item for future cultivation room and spirit stone farm.


They shall become the fence of the Holy Snake Shrine!


The ground shall be filled with Red Crimson Incense that matches the snake's color!


Once it’s finished, the Spirit Wood Fence (Wood) will promote Red Crimson Incense (Fire) to Empowers the Orrery (Earth). A triple Feng Shui positive formation!


Construction on the Snake Shrine can begin immediately since the kitchen (-4.2 Celcius) and the fridge-room (-14 Celcius) are finally built. These cold crystal walls should keep everything chill even in summer!


Our sect has six food recipes. First three are bland tasting preserved food while the other three are general meals with increasing delicacy.


None of us can reliably cook Delicious Food, and almost certain to fail to create Delicacy. So we will stick to the basic home cooking unless everyone are willing to burn up our food reserve to make better food and raise cooking skill.


Regrettably, our dining/entertainment room is going down to make way for the Snake Shrine.


It is done… not aesthetically appealing as I thought, but it will do until we have time to upgrade this shrine.


We finally got words from Hats about the final wave of recruitment. No matter how many he recruited this time, he needs to come back start cultivating.


Of course, these mortals would have to run here to find the Cult of Bčn. A proud tradition of reenacting our founders fleeing from the enemy and come upon this land.


For once, Hats fly back faster than those mortals. Maybe the axe is more aerodynamic than a tree stick.


His lingering dissatisfaction before he left for his week-long trip should soon be pacified when he sees his new home. The most important thing for all high prestige Inner are their treasure and weapon. It’s their bread and butter for surviving in this bloodcurdling world filled with giant lizards and angry birds.


For regular weapon... this random lovely sword on the ground will suffice.


A treasure, however, need to be taken seriously.


It is a magical artifact that empowers its wielder with essential and important benefits for cultivation and combat. Any selectable item in the world can become a treasure.


Like this brown rock block can be make into a low quality earth element treasure. Certain item requires more QI to refine.


Regrettably, the QI for refinement can only come from the cultivator themselves, so Hats can only refine simple items for now.

After searching around the sect, the following are suitable items that is either fire, earth, or metal element after refining:
Raw Meat, Brown Rock, low quality clothing, poop, messed up meal, umbrella.

Which will Hats choose?

Can someone more familiar with cultivation novels or even just Chinese explain how the orrery is an orrery? Usually I associate that term with astronomy - an orrery in the Western sense is a mechanical model of the solar system that can predict the future positions of planets. The pole in the middle does make it look kind of sundial-like, but I'm not sure where the rest would come in.
