The Geared Immortal

Chapter 502

/*unedited*/

It has been days since they last saw sunlight but they didn't care. They can feel their strength growing as the days goes by, but they all knew that the growth of their strength might be strong but it is incomplete. It was as if having air as muscle. But of course, once they got out, they can just stabilize their cultivation and attain true strength.

The Ao sisters and Nao Guo stayed inside Shin Jiao's ring for a couple of days now. The four of them have been thoroughly focused on cultivating, while they would be visited by Shin Jiao every now and then.

Shin Jiao didn't forget to take care of the people inside his ring. He even feeds the prisoners and takes care of the herbs that are growing perfectly inside.

"I'm bored… I want to go out…" Nao Guo said as she sat on a large boulder that she just broke in half.

"Little Nao, you should not be impatient when cultivating, if you want to grow stronger absorb as much Qi energy as you can. Then later, when Master Ji would bring us out we would be of great help for him."

"Sigh… I know big sister Mei… It's just that… I want to take a peek outside at what the master is doing."

"Oh, I see… Here, the master left this to me. He said that we can use it to look outside of the ring."

Mei Ao handed Nao Guo a small crystal orb. With curious eyes, the small girl carefully inspects the crystal ball and look at it intensely. Suddenly she saw an image inside the crystal ball and saw the scenery.

As the crystal ball is connected to Shin Jiao's spiritual sense, she suddenly saw what Shin Jiao can see and beautiful scenery made her heart feels warm and happy.

"Wow, what a nice scene… I wish I can live in that place." Nao Gou suddenly said.

When the three young women heard her words, they curiously walked toward the little girl and also take a peek at the crystal ball, and as their eyes immediately lit up in astonishment and in awe.

"It's truly amazing… I wish…"

"Wait a minute… master told us to take care of this place, right… And we can do whatever we like in this land we are in…" the wisest and oldest sister Mei Ao suddenly said as an idea came up to her mind.

"Big sister… You mean…"

"Yeah, I think we can change the things in this place… just in this land though. This small world is like a small planet, we can't change everything here."

"Alright, I agree, let's start by planting some flowers…"

"Where can we get flowers in this place…"

"Sigh… you guys were too focused on cultivating that you missed out on a lot of wonderful things in this small world of our master… come with me…" the youngest sister, Ying Ao suddenly said while taking the rest of the girl with her.

The group came upon a small hill and on the other side; they saw a small patch of land filled with different blooming flowers.

The four of them smiles and happily began their plan to transform that patch of land they are staying.

…

Xie family estate, the main courtyard

Shin Jiao is currently sitting beside an old-looking woman, her skin looks old just like that of a 60-year-old woman with white hair and a thin body. Beside her is a man with the same state as her. He knew that these two people are not that old as Song Xie has told him that her parents are only in their 40's. Plus with their cultivation level in the infant soul forming realm, they have strong vitality.

What turns the two to look this way is a mystery to and everyone is unable to determine the cause. Even those powerful friends of the couple were also helpless as they could not see why the couple has turned this way.

"Master Ji… what do you think?" Yao Mai asked with hope in her eyes.

Yao Mai is actually a friend of Song Xie's mother. Though she looks like she is only in her late 20's, Yao Mai's age is already in her 40's but of course, since she is already an infant soul realm cultivator, her life span has already reached around 400.

Shin Jiao frowns for a bit and slowly takes back his gaze after checking the body of the woman then looks up. Unlike ordinary doctors or cultivators, he didn't need to put his finger on the wrist of the people he checks. He can just scan their bodies and he would immediately see that's happening inside.

But of course, the truth is not what others expected it to be.

Right now, Shin Jiao is looking at two fat floating blobs above the two people lying on the bed. There is a thin line of connection between those two blobs and the two lying on the bed.

And it seems that those two are currently slowly sucking the energy out of their bodies.

But what baffled him is the spiritual composition of those two blobs.

"Those are not spiritual beings… if they are then other powerful cultivators could have already seen them… Hmm… curious… what are they?" Shin Jiao thought as he scrutinized the two blobs.

Suddenly one of them seems to have opened a single eye and a small mouth.

"What are you looking at? Do you want me to poke your eyes out? Hihihi…" it said.

Then the other also turn but it is looking at its companion.

"Who are you talking to, Mianhua Tang?"

"I'm talking to this guy who is looking at us… I really wanted to poke his eyes out."

"Hihi… are you crazy? We are curse blobs, how can he see us? Only those deities can see our presence. These mortals are just our food. Hihi… Once I get stronger we can then ascend to the heavens and create our own heavenly body. I will have my revenge on those foolish deities…"

"Hey, after we consume these two, we still need one, right?"

"Yes, so don't bother with that small fry mortal man."

"Yeah, I know but… I truly didn't like his gaze… it… it's creepy…"

"Hihihi… If you want you can attach apart of us on him, then we can also feed on him slowly… Hihi…"

"You're right! You're a genius, Mianhua Tang!"

"I know, right… Mianhua Tang! Hihihi…"

With that, the blob suddenly extended a tentacle-like thingy towards Shin Jiao. Then a tiny part of it, suddenly came off and floated towards Shin Jiao's body and slowly entering his dantian.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao didn't move and just let it go inside his body.

He has already heard of the discussion of the two and has an idea why many cultivators could not see them. It seems like these two or rather this being is a fallen deity. He or she is trying to consume enough energy and soul power to be able to go back to the higher realms.

"If I wanted to know more about the higher realms, this thing might be the key… I wonder what kind of things I could learn in there. Maybe I can further enhance my cultivation and become an immortal… that would be nice… But… what about… Susan?" Shin Jiao became excited at the prospect of learning about the higher realms, but his concern for his heart is something he could not neglect.

He is already aware of the balance. If he didn't want to turn into the dark side, then he should maintain his karma.

And so he shook his head and didn't think too much about this thing. What he wanted to know right now is, why is one of the essences inside him is unsettled? It's as if it has found something good outside.

And when the small transparent blob enters his body, the soul essence inside his dantian immediately shot up like lighting and immediately devours that piece of blob-like thingy.

"Huh?"

"What happened?" the two simultaneously said as they turn their singular eyes towards Shin Jiao's direction.

"I… I lost connection to my part inside that person."

"What? Maybe it just went inside his sea of consciousness and was drowned… Hihihi���"

"Stupid! We are one body, if it got drowned and was lost, then it's also your loss…"

"Hihi… why not send another one, this time make it bigger…"

With the suggestion from his other half, the blob once again extended a large part of the tentacle this time. Then he let it float towards Shin Jiao's body after it was cut off from the main part.

The two observe the situation and when they noticed that it enters Shin Jiao's body, they both turned serious. They are waiting for the result.

And since nothing happened for a while, they both showed a faint smile on their small mouths.

"See, I told you. It…" the blob said but then its expression suddenly changes into horror.

This is because they both discover that the large portion of the blob which enters the body of Shin Jiao suddenly banished.

"This… this can't be possible, right? What it that guy?"

"Not good! This is not good! We have to escape now!" one of them suddenly said in a panic.

But it was already too late.

Maybe it was due to the taste of the blobs, or maybe due to its hunger for souls. The soul essence inside Shin Jiao's dantian suddenly shot up to the air and flew directly in the middle of the two fat blobs.. And then like a black hole in the air, it began sucking the two fat blobs inside its now growing body.
