The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1358

…

Xin Ja did not mind those eyes and has not thought of any negative aspect of the people's thoughts in the room. For him, advancing his refining without using his power is something of importance as it could make him advance more in alchemy once he gets his powers back.

After a while, he kept the newly finished products to the side and cleaned his table.

Suddenly, he saw the old man and the woman standing beside him and taking the vials he put aside.

"This is a tier 7 herb… You're able to refine them to such a degree… What… How is this possible?" the old man said with a shaking voice.

Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face and then pointed at his nose.

"Practice makes perfect… This junior has practiced my nose to smell and my ears to hear with precision…" Xin Ja explained.

But this made everyone frown.

This is because as Ki-Champions, they did not need to use their senses anymore and would rely on their domains to check things out.

Domains are more powerful than mere sense, so how could they not make such a high purity refinement?

But of course, Xin Ja also could not explain such a phenomenon. For him using his senses is already enough to detect the minute changes in the herb he is concocting. Plus, he also has knowledge of the molecular structure of the herbs, and for that reason, he has an advantage over others.

The group then resumes their task and soon was able to finish the pills they are tasked to create. When Xin Ja observed how they are struggling with just a bone mending pill, he could not help but shake his head.

The alchemy in these parts of the land could not yet be compared with the alchemy in the Jimal Kingdom.

He stayed with the group until they finished the training and walked back to his quarters after.

Xin Ja's dantian is almost healed and he has gained a lot in these past few days.

…

One week later…

Xin Ja opens his eyes and a light glow appears on them.

"It seems that the mending of my dantian will come early than expected…" he muttered as a big smile appears on his face.

"Thank you, little guy…" he muttered while patting his dantian area.

The small flame which has now turned into a fluffy ball which is like a small chick made of flame is currently leaning on his dantian like a chick longing for warmth.

With his dantian close to recovery Xin Ja could now once again absorb a small amount of chaotic Ki in the air which made him feel excited.

In these past few days, he has been cooped up inside his room, so he decides to go out.

As soon as he walked out, he suddenly noticed that everyone is actually coming out of their quarters.

He feels a bit curious so he stopped a male wearing a blue robe.

"Excuse me, what's going on?" he asked.

"Heh? Well, we have arrived in Aewa city. We will be staying in here for a while before departing to Black Wing city, so many of us decided to go out…" the guy explained.

He did so because he noticed that Xin Ja is actually an alchemist. He dare not offend such a person, so he respectfully explained.

Xin Ja nodded his head and thanked the guy before walking to the quarters of the young miss.

However, he has not reached her quarters when he actually saw her and Rong Guan walking toward him.

"Young Miss!" Xin Ja greeted with cupped hands.

"Master Xin! It seems that you've been coop inside your room for a week… How are you doing?" she showed a teasing smile.

Xin Ja feel a bit awkward with the young miss teasing him, but he just scratch his head and smiled awkwardly.

"I'm good… Thank you for your concern…"

"We will now go to the city and stroll around… Would you like to come?" she asked.

Xin Ja thought for a while but then shakes his head. He then accessed his ring and take out 4 clip earrings.

"Wear this in your ear. We can communicate using this… Just tap it to talk…"

The four people in front of him look at him with shocked expressions.

However, they followed his words and wear the clip earrings. The clip earrings are gold in color and they go around the ear of a person. Since it is connected to the body of the person wearing it, it could pick out the vibration from that person's throat which then creates the sounds.

"Hello, can you all hear me?" Master Yo was the first one to test it out.

When the rest heard his words they all showed astounded expressions.

"Alright, enjoy exploring the city!" Xin Ja said as he turns around and return to his room.

…

Meanwhile, in Aewa city a huge piece of news is being spread all over the city.

The news is about the An Clan recruiting cultivators from other families and clans spread all over the city. Many are thrilled to join as they have known that the An Clan is actually after a Shen's abode.

But for some reason even with their strength and power, they were unable to conquer the abode.

It seems that the Shen residing in that abode was once a very powerful Shen.

In the An Clan residence

A few figures are currently sitting at a round table and discussing something. In the midst of the crowd at that table stood a young woman and beside her is an old woman.

"Patriarch An, you are telling us that 5 of you're An Clan Ki-Champions are unable to conquer the outer layer of this abode?" an old man asked with a frown.

The Patriarch of the An Clan nodded his head and heaved a deep sigh.

"If we did, do you think we can still share this news with all of you?!" he said while sneering at the old man.

"We threw it everything we have and we are still unable to defeat those powerful beasts. It was like there are tons of them… a never-ending battle!"

Everyone suddenly turned silent and began a hushed discussion.

"If we combine our strength and conquer that place, will you stand on your words that whosoever gets the legacy will obtain it for themselves?" a middle-aged man with a thick beard asked.

"Yes, we have already accepted that fate would not give this to us… so we can only let others try. At least the strength of our city would still be benefited by our own people…" the patriarch of the An Clan said.

But they can clearly see the dejection in his expression.

Everyone now has an excited expression on their faces.

That is Shen's legacy… most of the big clans in Aewa city got their strength from obtaining Shen's legacy from the past.

Those families that have not obtained any of Shen's legacy are now feeling a bit excited. They too wanted their family to grow and reach the top.

On the side, An Xensu showed a slightly downcast expression as she did not expect that the supposed accomplishment she wanted to get is now going to be fought over by the rest of the clans in the city.

When she looks at her father's eyes, she could only see him shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Aunt Jing on her side showed a contemplating look.

She had seen the battle records in that place and she felt a little doubt in her heart. She then looks at one of the elders of the clan who is said to be a top runemaster.

She is now looking at this old man with doubt in her eyes.

Suddenly, she remember that when the Ao family miss was escaping she told her that the fellow named Xin Ja was able to figure out the secret array in their mansion and activates it even though he could not use any Ki.

She then began to think of some suspicious plots in her mind about the ability of that young man.

"An alchemist, that does not us Ki… and possibly a rune apprentice… Hmm… Mysterious indeed…" she thought as she made up her mind to go to Rock Ledge city.

"Xinsu my dear… I will be going for a while. I will come back with a good result I promise, okay?" she suddenly whispered to An Xensu's ear.

The young woman was a bit stunned and at the same time worried because she did not want that her aunt would leave in these troublesome times. She is solely reliant on her aunt for both mental support and protection, so she feels a bit vulnerable without her.

"I think I may have an answer to our problem…" her Aunt Jing whispered with a wink.

The old woman walked out of the manor and soon reached the marketplace near the port of the city.

"Ah… I forgot that today is the day that those other cities would be stopping by this city before going to the capital… Hmm… Maybe I can ask those from the Rock Ledge city…" she thought as she walked towards the direction of the docks from the flying creatures.
