The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1356

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 106

…

The Berong clan who has threatened her and even wanted to capture her in Tiangxu town seems to have found out where she is. But for some reason, they now wanted to marry her using an official statement and formality.

But how could she agree with such an absurd letter of intent for a marriage? This type of proposal for her is an insult to her family who died at the hands of those bastards. She has already suspected that those bastards from the Berong clan are responsible for the demise of her parents and relatives.

As she looks at the letter, she scowled. She truly wanted to see how audacious these people are. If ever they would step in her manor, she could not promise that she would be able to control herself and not create a massacre.

Xin Ja enters the room and just quickly left after checking her condition.

Ao Meixi could not help but look at that back which for her became really broad.

Though he is not as strong as her and even has a broken dantian, he still created one miracle after another in saving her family.

So how could she not feel grateful for him?

She suddenly had a thought that it might have been better if he could only… take a liking to her.

When her thought came to that point, she suddenly shook her head.

"I'm going crazy…" she shook her head as she tried to divert her mind out of that thought.

But still, she could not help but give another glaze to that figure walking towards the alchemy room.

Meanwhile, Rong Guan who is on the side saw everything that his master did and showed a smile on his face.

In fact, he would actually agree if Alchemist Xin would become his young master.

He is not only intelligent and a master alchemist, but he is also a great fighter and has solved any problem their family has encountered so far.

He even made those great clans in the city fall to their knees.

But for some reason, he knew that Master Alchemist Xin's heart has already been captured by someone… that is why he would not even have a slight feeling towards the young miss.

He could only sight helplessly at this situation.

After the recognition and the end of the alchemy contest, Rock Ledge city once again return to its tranquility. With the fall of the many big clans in the city, the commoners seem to have heaved a great sigh of relief.

Three days have passed…

The sky of the Rock Ledge city suddenly turned gloomy as a huge flying beast suddenly came down from the skies.

This frightened the people of the city and panic once again ensued in the city.

City Lord's manor

On top of the city lord's manor, there is a platform where a huge flying beast that looks like a gigantic eagle is calmly sitting.

A few figures are standing beside the eagle and many more are starting to gather.

At the back of the gigantic eagle, there is a structure that looks like a two-floored building.

Xin Ja could not help but admire the ability of the contractor of the beast to enable this magnificent beast to even carry such a structure behind its back as if it was nothing.

Well, from the way he sees it, the beast is actually very strong at the level of a late-stage Ki-Champion, so it is able to carry such construction on its back.

"Everyone, we will now depart to the capital of Radong Kingdom, the great city of Black Wing… But before that, we have a stopover at Aewa city…" the city lord said with a smile.

Everyone seems to have not heard his words as they all look excited.

The 20 representative alchemists of Rock Ledge city, along with a part of their family or clan escort, are busy looking at the magnificent creature on the side.

The city lord could not help but heave a deep sigh. He just looks at the people before him helplessly and then nodded his head to the rest of the people behind him.

The master alchemists from the association then walked towards the deck of the structure at the back of the gigantic eagle.

"Everyone! Get on board now!" shouted the old man from the alchemist association.

With this signal, Xin Ja, Master Yo, Ao Meixi, Ao Jixo, and Rong Guan got into the deck of the structure.

"What if this beast got hungry, will it eat us?" suddenly Rong Guan asked.

Although his voice is not that loud, those near them heard his words.

"Haha… What a hillbilly… A country bumpkin is truly a country bumpkin no matter how strong they are…" a sharp female voice entered their ears.

She glares at the group but did not say anything as she and her escorts walked passed Xin Ja's group.

That young woman is Xan Xumi from the Xan clan. She passed the alchemy contest and got 10th place.

Since Xin Ja is in the last place, she immediately looks down on him and thought that her skills are greater than his.

But of course, this is not only the reason why she is angry with Xin Ja.

The Xan clan has a close clan and in that clan is her best friend. Because of her best friend's family's involvement in the coup that happened in the city, her clan was destroyed and the rest were captured.

She now did not know what happened to her best friend and this is ticking her off whenever she recalled that this has happened because of the involvement of the Ao family.

Though she also could not blame the city lord for taking such an action, she just could not forgive the person who made her friend's life miserable.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, did not mind the young woman. Instead, he focused his absolute sense on the building and saw that there are many rooms inside. What made him feel astonished are the alchemy rooms.

"I guess they would not be providing us with any herbs this time around…" he muttered to himself.

But Master Yo heard his words so he chuckled.

"Hehe… Master Xin, since we are already master alchemists, it is time for us to provide our own medicinal herbs. Only in the contest will they provide us with a limited amount of herbs… The contest in the capital is where the true masters are separated from the newbies…" Master Yo said with a hint of reminiscing in his eyes.

Xin Ja remembers that the old man once told him that his master was once a contestant in the alchemy contest those years ago.

However, at that time, potions are popular and most alchemists would only refine herbs and then mix them.

They truly have it easy at the time which made him remember how his master became one of the greatest alchemists of the kingdom.

But as a disciple of his master, he has truly failed him for many years.

He could not help but miss his master who has aided him a lot in his struggles as an alchemist.

"Master… I am now following in your footsteps. Soon, I will be able to reach the capital and then show to the world that I, Yo Limo, am your disciple!" Master Yo thought as he looks at the sky above him.

It has been so long since his master left him. He knew that the reason why his master left is that… he has not improved as an apprentice alchemist even after that long time.

He is actually already contented with the flow of his life, but when he reached the new heights of being an alchemist master, his joy is now full.

The huge eagle soon moved and flew up into the skies leaving the Rock Ledge city.

Inside the lobby of the structure which looks like an ancient hotel, all of the 20 alchemists have been gathered by the city lord.

"Everyone… I know that each of you has prejudices against some that are in here… And I cannot control that. But I only have one request. Please work together for the betterment of yourselves. I may have destroyed your clans, but I did not kill all of your family members… If you attain great results in the contest, I promise to release them in your care…" City Lord Ji Da promised.

When some of the alchemists heard this, they all showed elation in their eyes.

But some still showed a gloomy look on their faces.

This is because… the patriarchs of their families or clans have already been dealt with. And because of this, they did not know what the future would hold for their family or clan.

And yet the promise of the city lord still gives them hope for the future.

After a few discussions and instructions, the city lord dismissed the group.

"Master Xin… May I have a word…" the city lord suddenly approached Xin Ja.

Xin Ja did not know what the city lord wanted so he just nodded his head and followed the city lord to one of the corridors with luxurious-looking rooms around it.

As they enter one of the rooms, Xin Ja frowned when he saw who is inside that room.
