The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1343

…

"You… you let go of me this instant! You bastard! Do you know who I am?" Xulo Peng shouted in anger.

But he could not move his body as if he is being by some strange force inside his body. This force is preventing him from moving as if his joints have been locked.

"Quiet now, if you shout more, my hand might slip and your head will fly…"

"Hahaha… If you kill me my clan will also kill you…"

"Well, what do you care, you're still dead in the end anyway… Hehe…" Xin Ja suddenly made a small slicing movement and a wound appears on Xulo Peng's neck.

This made everyone freeze in fear.

"Stop! Release the young master and we will retreat!" the leader of the remaining 5 men said as he held both hands in the air while walking towards Xin Ja.

"Do you think me as stupid?" Xin Ja asked with a smirk.

From the main house, a beautiful figure walks out.

"Xin Ja… Please… release him. I think the city lord would not want any trouble this time…" Ao Meixi said as she pointed at the broken gate.

At this time, a middle-aged-looking man with white and black hair, even his beard has the same color, walked into the Manor.

"This young one greets the City Lord!" Ao Meixi cupped her hand in the city lord's direction.

"Haha… Young Miss Ao is very polite… I just come to visit but did not expect that such a thing would happen in your Manor. On behalf of the people from Rock Ledge, I will ask some of my builders to fix your house." The city lord said while cupping his hand.

At this time, Xin Ja looks at the city lord and nodded his head.

"Young man, can you give this old man some face and release the young master of the Xulo clan. I promise that he would not cause trouble anymore…"

"If the city lord said so. But if he makes some unnecessary move after I release him, I would like to say my apology in advance… But I will take his life…" Xin Ja showed a slight smile on his handsome face which made the people around him feel shivers running down their spines.

He suddenly hid his sword in his ring and then takes a step back.

But as soon as Xulo Peng was freed, he suddenly waved his arm and punched Xin Ja who standing behind him.

Peng!!!

Suddenly a figure was sent flying out of the manor's gate.

By this time, everyone is already dumbfounded when they saw who that person that is standing in the position of the young master of the Ao clan is.

Even the city lord was stunned to see the old man.

"Senior Ao… Jixo… You… you're already fine?" the city lord astonished words made the remaining men of Xulo Peng freeze in fear.

How could they not fear someone who is able to kill a Ki-Champion while fighting two at the same time?

"City lord, this old man greets you!" Ao Jixo cupped his hand.

He just fully recovered from his condition after resting for a while. When he opened his eyes and spread his sense around the manor, he was stunned. He did not expect to see such a scene.

But then he saw the scene where Xin Ja was actually able to hold the young master of the Xulo clan hostage. That made him amazed at the ability of the young man.

An alchemist, a doctor, and a good fighter, what else does this young man are hiding?

The city lord left the Ao manor in the afternoon and the news about the recovery of Ao Jixo and the beating of the Xulo family's profligate young master has already spread throughout the city.

…

Inside the Xulo clan manor main hall

Pa!

A loud slap was heard inside the hall as a young man was sent tumbling to the ground.

"You… you trash! How can you be beaten by a waste? I heard that the young man did not even have a dantian! You and your people are truly trash!" an angry old man's voice echoed in the hall.

"Father! Please forgive Peng'er… He… He…"

"Shut up! You are the patriarch, so I will not scold you. But you should teach your son some manners. If not, teach him to be like his younger brother! Focus on cultivation!" the old man shouted.

Though he likes this grandson of his, this is not the time for favoritism. In front of the whole family, he needs to preserve his face as the Grand Elder.

"I heard that Ao Jixo was already healed?" he suddenly asked.

"It was that trash! He is not only an alchemist but also a doctor…" this time Xulo Peng replied with a hint of anger in his eyes.

But he dares not vent it out as he just kneels in front of the old man while wiping the blood on the side of his face.

The old man looks at his eldest grandson and nodded his head. At least this guy is able to find the crux of the matter.

No matter what happens to Ao Jixo as long as that young man with the broken dantian helped out, Ao Jixo would still be standing and fighting.

It would be like a battle of attrition against an undying enemy. What a scary notion that would be…

"Observe that young man from now on. If there is a chance, kidnap him. If he is as good as you said he is… then he would be very useful to our Xulo clan in the future… There are ways to use such a person… Hehe…" the old man said and then chuckles.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja spends his day with Master Yo practicing refining.

The two are like burning one herb after another as one failure followed by another happened.

But in every failure, Master Yo is getting closer to the high purity of 80%.

While inside the alchemy room, Xin Ja is focused on refining another batch of 5th-tier herbs when he noticed something inside his dantian.

The little fire seems to be feeling uneasy.

He felt a bit worried, so he extended his will and let the little thing out.

As soon as it was outside, it suddenly dove under the pill cauldron and began burning the bottom.

Xin Ja did not hesitate the quickly refine the herbs. He was alarmed when suddenly the flame became bigger as if it would engulf the whole cauldron.

Poof!!!

Then it disintegrated.

Then he saw a light bluish flame dancing around like it was very happy and then quickly enters Xin Ja's finger and landed near his dantian.

It seems to have poop after eating far too much.

Xin Ja was flabbergasted by the little thing and just shook his head to throw the dregs away inside the cauldron, but as soon as his eyes landed on the liquid floating inside of it, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

What he is seeing right now is 100% purity refined medical herb. This is something he has not accomplished in his entire life before.

"What the heck is this?" he could not help but said as he quickly put the liquid in several bottles.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to begin concocting some pills using the 100% refined material and combining them with the other refined materials in his ring.

Two hours later…

The smell of medicine wafted in the air and five golden-colored pills could be seen inside.

The golden-colored pill has a red line in the middle which signifies that it is not only high-grade but instead a unique grade pill.

"Hahaha… I knew it would be easier to concoct a unique grade pill using the highest purity…" he muttered.

Soon, he walks out of the alchemy room, and he noticed two pairs of eyes glued on him.

"Level 5… you've refined a 5th level pill, right?" Master Yo said in excitement but then suddenly lowered his voice.

Rong Guan is also showing excitement in his eyes. He knew that he truly has an eye for people.

Who would have known that the young man he just brought into the family would be a 5th-level alchemist?

One more level and he would be an alchemy master.

"Give this to the young miss…" Xin Ja did not reply and just separated a pill, puts it in a bottle, and then gives it to Rong Guan.

"This pill is…" Rong Guan wanted to ask, but Master Yo glares at him.

"Haha… Just go!" the old man chuckles while shaking his head.

"How about you Master Yo? How is the progress?"

"Hmm… I have finally reached my goal of 80% refining process… Your refining technique is truly marvelous. It just wastes a lot of medicinal herbs though…" he said.

"Well, that is why we practice on those common ones, right?" Xin Ja said with a smile.

The old man nodded his head.

The two happily walk out of the alchemy room.

They are now prepared for the incoming alchemy contest that would help the status of the Ao family to rise up in the city.
