The Geared Immortal

Chapter 613

(Unedited)

…

The best way to attack a group is to catch them off-guard. With that element of surprise, one can deal much damage while eliminating the danger one faces.

This is what Shin Jiao did to fight against that many guards. Since his strength and energy are limited, he needs to maximize his destructive potential while minimizing his losses. And with that, he is able to defeat those guards with ease by just using needles.

As he walks inside the hall of the Ji clan, he can already see everyone showing horrified looks on their faces. They could believe that such a thing could happen and that the guards of the clan could not even handle a single person.

"You… what did you do?"

"What do you want? Why are you here?"

"The clan will not surrender to you even if you are a martial cultivator. We will fight to the death."

The elders around the hall suddenly shouted as they bravely faced the young man lazily standing in front of them with his arms folded on his chest.

"Really? Just a bunch of old fools… I can kill you all like a bug… But… that is not the reason why I am here. I just wanted to use this name for a while. Then after I got what I wanted I will leave this precious clan of yours and leave this empire. No harm will be done to you… But if you guys insist on fighting against me, then I won't think twice about eliminating this clan. I can just go to another clan and ask for their help instead." Shin Jiao said.

Silence immediately pervades the air as the elder and leaders of the Ji clan stood quietly while waiting for the response of the patriarch.

"What… what are your plans then? I need to know before I can agree." The patriarch said after thinking for a while.

"Hehe… You don't have to worry about that. All you have to do is act as usual, and don't bother to plan behind my back. If you do that, then I will leave this place, maybe after a week or two, at most a month.��

"Sigh… I… we yield. We know that you are a very strong martial cultivator. But if you plan to use our Ji clan to ruin the empire, then we will fight with our lives." The clan patriarch said with a serious expression.

"Haha… Look, I didn't start this thing, you did. I was living a normal and silent life and you just have to provoke me. If you hadn't then everything would have been fine. Anyway, thank you for your cooperation." Shin Jiao said as he turns around and left.

When Shin Jiao's figure left and closes the door, the elders suddenly heaves a sigh of relief. In fact, they were truly afraid after seeing those guards on the ground.

One of them immediately ran towards one of the guards and checked him.

"Patriarch, they… the guards are still alive. They're just unconscious." The elder said.

Everyone gasps in disbelief. That young doctor is truly a formidable fellow. The information they got from their investigation was all wrong. Or rather, that man-made it so that it would turn out that way.

With that, the clan just resigns on their fate and let this matter go.

…

A week has passed since then.

Shin Jiao is currently inside a small clinic. And in front of him is a beautiful young woman who is showing him the clinic.

This clinic was bought by Sue Na and her husband using their hard-earned money.

In these past few days, Sue Na began to go with Shin Jiao and decided to help him in treating his patients. Plus he also thinks that if the woman could learn some of these medical skills, then she could at least fend for herself.

In his days in the infirmary in the city of Yun Ji, Old Doctor Di compiled a book according to what he observed on how Shin Jiao treats his patients. Plus the book also includes his insights on medicine. And on their way back he gave Shin Jiao a copy of these books, which are around 5 volumes in total.

Shin Jiao was amazed at that old man's persistence and hunger for knowledge when it comes to medicine.

Hence for these past few days, Sue Na read the books and also made a copy for herself.

What amazed Shin Jiao is the progress of the woman in learning medicine. Her progress was really astonishing that it almost made him think that she was born to be a doctor. But of course, he also knew that the woman already has some knowledge due to her assisting her husband in his work as a doctor from before.

As the two checked the place, they suddenly heard a loud commotion outside.

Two large men suddenly barge inside the building while holding some wooden poles.

When they saw Shin Jiao, Sue Na, and little Ping Du she is carrying in her arms, their expression turned ferocious.

"You vile woman. Not only did you seduce our cousin, now you already have another man. You're nothing but a whore… We brothers will teach you a lesson on behalf of our dead cousin." Shouted one of the men and suddenly sent a pole towards Shin Jiao's head.

However, that pole did not hit its intended target. With a casual lift of his hand, Shin Jiao caught that pole and with a loud 'pa'.

This scene stunned the two men and even those outside had a look of disbelief on their faces. With the huge build of the guy, it is almost impossible for someone to catch that pole with just one hand.

But before they could react, Shin Jiao did not hesitate to calmly kick that guy on his stomach. Then he also delivers a roundhouse towards the other guy who tried to block his foot with the pole.

Bang! Bang!

Two figures flew out of the small building one through the door and the other went out through one of the windows shattering it into pieces.

When the onlookers saw this they were now gaping in disbelief.

Shin Jiao calmly strode out of the building followed by Sue Na who is still carrying her son.

"I am Doctor Ji, from the Ji clan. And I am the new owner of this clinic here. Those who wanted to cause trouble with me should understand that I am not a person that is easily bullied. I have bought this clinic and I now own it. Here is the deed title for the building." Shin Jiao said as he showed the deed in front of the people.

He then didn't mind the glaring eyes of the Du family and turn around to check the clinic once again.

Shin Jiao is just waiting for the palace to call for him. However, he didn't want to just idly wait. Since checking for patients helped him improve his absolute sense and domain, he would use this time to enhance them.

Plus his medical skill has truly improved by leaps and bound ever since he acted this part as a doctor. If it were in the past, he would just treat learning a medical skill as a means to an end for his mission. However, nowadays, he needed this skill not only to obtain his goal but to also improve his cultivation and techniques.

He has learned that the body of a person is truly a universe of its own, especially those martial cultivators whom he has treated and encountered on his way to the capital city. Upon learning about their physique he has already adjusted himself to improve his physique to another level.

Plus through this, he also learned how to improve his exoskeleton gears.

Due to his advancement in the knowledge in anatomy, he now had an idea of how to make the suit fit his body really well that it would act as a second outer skin.

Shin Jiao began planning on how the clinic would look like and the things he needed for it to run smoothly.

And so another day has passed, and Shin Jiao returns to the manor.

He began to draw his plans for the clinic and felt a bit excited for some unknown reason.

In actual fact, he really found this current life of his a bit fulfilling. Although he misses Susan Tang and his friends from the earth, yet he is powerless to do anything about his current circumstance. He didn't even know how to get out of this place. So there is no use to worry about anything else.

His mind began drifting to the past and his life. He truly wanted to just live a good life just like this. However, he also wanted to do something else.

With that, he stood up from the bed and checked his surroundings, then walked out of the house.

…

The next morning, Shin Jiao has already opened the clinic.

When Sue Na arrives, she was flabbergasted at how the clinic suddenly changes. Everything was different and something she has never seen before.

She was truly astounded to see the tiled floor, the beddings inside, and the medicine counter. Since Shin Jiao has a lot of herbs inside his ring, he just stuffs those boxes up. Those medicines are not for outpatients, but for use inside the clinic when a patient is admitted and has to stay in it for recuperation.

Then she also noticed that the building suddenly has a second floor, which is not there yesterday. Although she was full of doubts and questions, yet she dare not ask. She already knew the mysteriousness of the young doctor. Plus she is already treating Shin Jiao as her master. So she just wanted to learn from him at this moment and gain as much as she could.

This is because she is already aware that this person might not be staying in this place for too long.

And so that day, the clinic officially opened. And due to the unique design of the building, many people began to be curious about it and began to inquire.

"Doctor's clinic?" a man muttered as he carefully peeks inside the open door.

The first patient was an old woman with a coughing fit.

"Doctor, it's my cough… I was supposed to get some medicine from the pharmacy, but I think the medicine they are giving me is not effective anymore. I wanted to see if you can prescribe another medicine for me." She said feeling a little weak in her tone.

Upon observing the old woman, Shin Jiao suddenly narrowed his eyes.
