The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1359

…

Aunt Jing's real name is Jing Xue, and she has been with the An Clan ever since An Xensu was still a child. Many speculations about who she is are known by the An Clan members, as she would not tell them who she really is.

There are those that say that she is the An Clan's patriarch's illegitimate sister. Some say that she is a long-lost relative of the An Clan… and many other rumors about her background.

But the truth is that she is the best friend of An Xensu's biological mother.

She and An Xensu's mother go way back and are considered sisters. But because of some unexpected event, she escaped and stayed with the An Clan because of An Xensu's mother.

She promised her best friend that no matter what she would stay with An Xensu and protects her with her life.

Since she is unable to protect her best friend at that time she promised to protect her daughter.

As she walked toward the docks, she noticed many people are already alighting from the large flying beasts with buildings on their backs.

Suddenly, her eyes caught some familiar figures.

Without hesitation, she quickly walks toward the group.

"Miss Ao…" she called.

Ao Meixi was a bit surprised but still greeted the old woman walking toward them.

"Senior Jing! We did not expect to see you here!" Ao Meixi greeted.

"Haha… Actually, I was going to look for you guys in Rock Ledge. I just wanted to make sure that you have not come to the city first." Jing Xue said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that Senior Jing has needed something from us…" Ao Jixu said with a smile.

"Umm… Does any of you knows formations?" she did not hesitate to ask.

When the group heard this they all look at Master Yo.

Master Yo showed a slightly dazed look on his face as he looks at the people in front of him.

"I may know rune arrays, but I'm not an expert…" he said feeling a bit awkward with their gaze.

Suddenly he thought of someone.

"Well, if you are looking for an expert, Alchemist Master Xin would be it…" he said.

He saw Xin Ja write array formations that are more complex than his master. So he could clearly remember how excellent of an array formation expert Xin Ja is.

When the group heard this, they also nodded their heads as if also remembering Xin Ja.

The then walks towards the flying beast where the Rock Ledge city alchemist representatives are.

After a couple of checks from the people, they are now in the lobby of the building.

At this time, Xin Ja also walks out and is currently thinking deeply. He has been creating something and is currently in deep thought while walking toward the alchemy room.

"Master Xin!" Rong Guan was the one who called after him.

Xin Ja was still in a daze as he turns around. When he saw the people, he was a bit confused but his sight landed on the old lady.

He walked towards them and he cupped his hand to the group.

"This junior greets, Master Jing!" he called.

When Aunt Jing heard his words, she showed a faint smile on her face and nodded her head.

"Can I have a bit of your time…, Master Xin…" Aunt Jing said while showing a faint smile on her wizened face.

"Umm… Yes, but I have to finish my concoction first…" Xin Ja suddenly remember what he wanted to do.

"You are concocting… a pill?" Aunt Jing asked in suspicion.

She knew that the guy is an alchemist but she did not expect him to be qualified to even use the alchemy room in this place.

The refining room would be a place he could stay, but the alchemy place is another thing.

"Umm… Master Yo, I finally figure it out… I think I can make the pills to help you… increase your cultivation level…" Xin Ja said but lowered his voice when he said the last part.

When Master Yo heard his words, he showed a shocked expression.

How could he not be surprised when he as an alchemist knows his talent when it comes to cultivation? No matter what pill he ingested, he would not increase his strength and would forever be at the Ki-fighter level.

However, if he would listen to Xin Ja then maybe, just maybe he would be able to break through to the Ki-Adept level and increase his strength.

If that happens, then he could also increase his ability to refine materials with the trick that Xin Ja taught him.

In the group, only Master Yo is feeling excited about the prospect of the increase of his own strength.

The group did not say anything and just followed Xin Ja inside towards the alchemy room.

They got seated on the seat outside and just watches Xin Ja concoct the pill.

2 hours later…

A sweet-smelling scent wafted in the air as Xin Ja opens the alchemy pot's lid.

He then takes out five pills.

The group showed a happy smile on their faces as they see that the concoction was actually successful.

But besides them, an old man suddenly stood up.

"How… How could this be? How can he produce 5 pieces in one go?" he asked with a confused expression.

This old man is the same old man who is a member of the alchemist association.

Master Yo, on the side, could only shake his head with a playful smile. Although these people are members of the alchemy association, how could they compare to that young youth?

He is something that no commonsense of this place could understand, he had already seen that many times. So nothing that Xin Ja would do could surprise him anymore. All he has is trust and admiration towards the young lad.

Not long later, Xin Ja walks out of the alchemy room and then toward the group.

But before they could do anything, the old man has already arrived in front of Xin Ja.

"You… Can you take me as your disciple?" the old man suddenly asked.

This time, Xin Ja was stunned along with the group.

An old man who looks like in his 70s wanted a young man to take him as his disciple?

How could the group not feel stunned?

"Ai… You old fox, I have not seen you for a while and now you become this shameless…" Aunt Jing suddenly scolded on the side.

When the old man heard her familiar voice, he was stunned.

He then looks at Aunt Jing with a surprised expression.

"You little brat! Who are you calling old fox?!" the old man suddenly scolded.

But Aunt Jing just smirked.

"You little girl… This is my business and my master, so you have no say in this." The old man suddenly said.

Xin Ja suddenly feels goosebumps on his skin upon hearing the old man say his master.

"Umm… Master… Senior… How could I accept you as my disciple? It should be me to be your disciple, right?" Xin Ja humble said.

The old man shook his head and then looks more favorably at Xin Ja.

"I may be above you when it comes to cultivation, but your knowledge in alchemy is above me. I wanted you to be my master… In return, I can give you whatever you wanted as long as it does not violate my honor and principle."

Upon hearing this, the group was stunned. The guy is really determined… they then look at Xin Ja who has an awkward expression on his young face.

"Well, Master Nie is really persistent in this… I think you should consider it, Young Xin…" Aunt Jing could see the determination of the old man, so she could only advise him to do so.

The old man then nodded his head in agreement, but then frowned as he asked Jing Xue.

"By that way young girl… What is a Medical Master like you doing in here?" he asked.

When he said this, everyone showed a confused expression. They have been hearing him calling the old woman who seems to look like in her 60, a young woman or a young girl.

"Bah, none of your business, old fox…" Aunt Jing said with a wave of her hand.

"You…" Master Nie wanted to scold her but stopped.

He then looks at Xin Ja with a hopeful gaze.

"Umm… Master Nie… I… I cannot be your master, but I can give you some pointers if you want to." Xin Ja this time awkwardly said.

"Are you going to do a lecture?" the old man suddenly feels excited.

Xin Ja was stunned and did not know what to say.

But then if he does lecture-type training, then maybe he could ask them for payment, right? He could gain more from this than keeping this skill to him and Master Yo.

Upon thinking to this point, he nodded his head.

"Eh, Wait… I think you should ask for a fee if you do this, Young Xin…" this time Aunt Jing interjected.

"Then I will ask the Young Miss and Aunt Jing to help me with this matter…" he cupped his hand in request.

The group nodded their heads and walked to Ao Meixi's quarters for a meeting.
