The Geared Immortal

Chapter 459

/*unedited*/

A woman is lying on the cloth-covered ground while breathing heavily. Her stomach has a deep wound where a large chunk of her flesh was taken. This is already a fatal wound, but because of her cultivation level, resilience, and will to survive, she was able to press on so far.

However, it is clear that she is reaching her limit as everyone around her can see her face getting paler and her lips turning black.

As Shin Jiao squatted down and feel her pulse he secretly dug his pinky in her skin and quickly absorbs the poison that has already invaded her meridians and heart. He can see that her organs were slowly being dissolved by the toxic poison. This is one of the ways the spiders eat their prey. They would inject such toxic poison on their prey's body and dissolve it from the inside. Then they would devour the juice and the nutrient of their prey.

This way to die is very excruciating that some people would just kill the victims rather than make them suffer. Of course, if there are powerful cultivators around, they can be helped by expelling the toxic.

Luckily for the woman, Shin Jiao was here and he is able to absorb a large amount of toxic into his poison essence. However, he felt a bit dismayed as he noticed that the poison toxic could not level up his poison essence.

Not long later, everyone saw their teacher's expression getting better.

"Miss Lan! She… she is getting better." shouted one of the girls in the group.

The other also exclaimed as they watch the green veins on her neck and exposed skin retracting and her skin returning to their vibrant snow-white color.

Her expose stomach with dark green hue also started to recover and they began to turn white. When Wen Mo Yang saw this, she immediately grabs a robe inside her ring and covers the body of the woman. As of this moment, her eyes are looking at Shin Jiao full of admiration and gratitude.

Wen Mo Yang knew Miss Lan or teacher Cao Lan long before when the two academies would hold combine exercises. She knew how gentle and kind the woman is. Although she has a high cultivation level, she is not haughty and would always help her students in every way she can.

"She need Qi replenishing pill, do you have one." Shin Jiao asked as he slowly retracted his fingers from her wrist.

Wen Mo Yang nodded her head and took out a pill bottle and then directly put the small blue pill on Cao Lan's mouth. Once the pill touches her tongue it immediately melted and spread through her body. Shin Jiao saw the woman slowly opened her eyes.

He took out one rapid hemostatic capsule from his ring.

"Give this to her when she is fully awake it will rapidly heal her wounds." Shin Jiao said.

When the people saw the pill, they showed a surprised look on their faces. They have heard about these pills, but it has been a long time since its production was stopped.

For some reason, the capsule's production lessened and controlled. Hence the price began to skyrocket. Although it is not a divine pill, its production has baffled every alchemist, not in the know of its production process.

And the person who controls everything is the crown princess of the empire, Princess Qin Lou.

Every one of the students in this place knew of the capsule and its history, hence they were astounded to see one in front of their eyes.

When Cao Lan was fully awake, Wen Mo Yang gave her the transparent capsule with green liquid inside. Upon taking the medicine, Cao Lan suddenly felt her body getting hot. She then opened her eyes in disbelief and quickly removes the robe covering her body.

To her astonishment and everyone around her, the large gaping hole on her stomach rapidly closes. As her cultivation level is high, she can even see her cells rapidly repairing her broken tissue. The process was truly an eye-opener for her as she gawked in disbelief.

"This… this is the famous rapid hemostatic pill."

"I never would have thought to see its effect first hand."

"What an amazing pill… if you have these on hand while hunting, you would not worry about injuries anymore."

"Haha… and that would make you reckless and die faster."

The students around began to clamor as they watch what is happening.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has already walked towards the mountain pile of giant spider corpses. He decided to extract some of the toxic from their fangs. He knew that those can be useful someday.

He busied himself extracting the toxins while the rest of the students rested. Not long later he saw the huge spider which he killed with one shot in its head.

"Hmm… this one is a 5th level beast…" Shin Jiao muttered as he stored the corpse inside his ring.

He is not interested in the 4th level beast corpses and their core as it would be useful to the students and for the reconstruction of the portal.

As he walks back, a young woman along with four young men suddenly blocks his path.

"Give us the brood mother's corpse." The young woman said with a mocking face.

"We hunted that thing down, so it's our prey. You must not take advantage of others!"

"Yeah, you're so shameless to act like a thief and steal what is ours."

"Haha… What a shameless guy… Do you know who we are? If you do, then back off and give us the corpse."

The other young men behind the young woman shouted as they berated Shin Jiao. These few people just arrive after running further than the rest while escaping from the horde of giant spiders and have they have not seen what Shin Jiao did. So when they saw a young man who acted like he was sneakily going through the mountain of corpses, they were angered.

When the rest of their classmates saw what this group did, they were all a bit scared. At this moment, they are scolding this stupid bunch in their minds because of their ignorance and cowardice.

"Shut up! What are you guys doing?! Don't insult Master Ji…" King Lao shouted while approaching the group.

"Master Ji, I would like to apologize for the ignorance of my fellow classmates that insulted you." He said while cupping his hands.

"I forgot to say, thank you for helping and saving us."

"Haha… It's not me who you should thank, thank my companions for being selfless and brave." Shin Jiao said while waving his hand.

When the group heard what he said, they showed crafty looks on their eyes and turn their heads towards King Lao and the rest of the students who are coming this way.

"Heh… You're thanking him, but we saw him sneaking around and also took the brood mother's corpse. How can we tolerate that when our group sacrificed too much and also lost one of our classmates? We cannot accept this kind of behavior." shouted a young man as he took a step forward.

Everyone was flabbergasted upon listening to the shameless words of these people.

However, before they can say anything.

A rumbling sound followed by the sudden shaking of the ground made everyone felt a bit shocked and scared. They are all looking at a certain direction where the rumbling sound came from.

"This is bad… this should not be happening…"

"That's the volcano at the edge of the forest, right?"

"We should go back! If not, we would encounter a beast wave…"

The panic-stricken youth said as they all stood up. The ground is still shaking as the rumbling sound continues to echo through the whole forest.

"Everyone, gather everything you can! We must move now!" this time Cao Lan shouted as she stood up.

Her wounds are now all healed and she can feel the Qi in her dantian has recovered enough for her to not be a burden to her students.

Right at this moment, she is truly grateful to her students who helped her and those from the Xilu Academy.

And so, with her command, the group began to move and gather the corpses that can fit their spatial tool. However, the problem is that the corpses are far too many hence there is still a substantial amount that was left.

The students showed a dejected look on their faces as they all departed from the area.

After everyone was gone, Shin Jiao smiled and quickly absorb the rest of the corpses in his ring. After doing so, he began to follow the group from behind.

Not far from this place a group of men wearing black cloaks was actually watching everything that had happened, when they saw what Shin Jiao did, they showed a glint of greediness in their eyes.

"Master, that's the guy, right?"

"Yes, I think that ring of his is really a bottomless treasure. Haha… We hit the jackpot."

"Master, we should be careful. That man took down that horde of giant spiders we had lured… he is not that simple."

"I know, just prepare to make a move. Everything is proceeding as planned."

"Yes sir!!!"

The men in black cloak vanished from their location as they started to chase behind Shin Jiao and the students.

"The forces behind this event have started to move.. I'm just wondering what their plan is?" Shin Jiao thought as he caught within the borders of his absolute sense some people wearing black following behind them.
