The Geared Immortal

Chapter 681

(Unedited)

…

Laura Lane is the master of France Jill which is a good friend of Shin Jiao. When she learned about alchemy being taught in the town, she was immediately interested. In fact, in her world which is called Xylokian, she was a former alchemist.

But she has concentrated on improving her physic and power. That's why she reaches the embryonic immortal stage or the nascent realm and was able to go to the immortal land. She was chosen by a High Lord from the Lance clan which is a subsidiary clan of the Wine clan.

She was introduced to Shin Jiao by her servant Frances Jill who has helped the latter when he first arrives in the immortal land.

And for that, she was really grateful. For the first few weeks of learning the basics and the theories, her mind easily grasps the logic of this weird but new style of alchemy which is like those from the Long clan. Soon she was noticed by the teacher as she would always produce more high-quality pills than normal. And many of her peers in the class have started interacting with her.

Right now, she is inside a room and beside her are the other four students from the school who also successfully concocted their pills.

The three guests of the town look at the five people in front of them with complicated expressions. They were silent as if trying to determine what to do or say. In fact, they feel a bit complicated as these five were able to concoct a pill that cost a lot if traded in the city.

Although the city is big, the energy foundation pill is not a common item and cost more energy cores. And that would be the price for those low-level pills. But right now in front of them more than 20 pills and none of them is low-level and there are five high-level. The three now had a strong conviction to hide this kind of talent from the alchemist association so that, these people would not be corrupted by the practices of the people in that place.

With a tacit understanding, the three looks at each other and gave a knowing smile.

"These pills that you have made are really amazing. We like to take you three to Ta'al city…" Gera Vin said but noticed the reaction of the woman.

"Is there something wrong? Silver Protector Lane?" Gera Vin stopped his words and asked.

Laura Lane looks at the High Lords and bit her lower lips as she immediately made a decision. She immediately kneels on one knee and cupped her hand while lowering her head.

"High lords… I… I wanted to stay in Vitol town to learn more about alchemy techniques from teacher Jiao. I… I hope the high lords would permit my impetuous request."

Hearing her words, the corner of Gera Vin's mouth arched a little. This is what the three are expecting. They look at the other four the three also requested the same and only one step forward to be taken to Ta'al city.

The three looks at each other and then at the servant who wanted to go.

"You have to be a silver protector before you can enter Ta'al, or be like your teacher, Mr. Jiao. You have to work hard young man." Anzhelika Osmond said as she patted the young servant's shoulder.

She admires the young man's desire to move up the ladder. But he is not yet qualified to enter the city.

Upon hearing this, the young man frowned a bit but still nodded with a clenched fist.

Silno Guru arrived in the immortal land around 30 years ago. He has been in a village on the opposite side of the town called Hunxia Village around 10 days of travel from Vitol Town. It took him long enough to understand and be able to absorb the universe's energy before becoming a servant.

But his level did not grow and has only reached the 65th level. No matter how hard he tries, he could not get his hands on an energy foundation pill due to his low aptitude. Hence he stayed at that level until now. However, ever since more than a month ago when the new huge building in town was created and started teaching alchemy his interest was piqued.

But upon seeing that their teacher is actually a peasant and has not even reached the servant status. He felt disdain in his heart. However, his pride was dashed when that mere peasant taught them how to refine and create the most basic pill, the energy establishment pill.

In Silno Guru's heart, he could not accept such a thing. How could his hard work be compared to a genius? He could not accept this. In his world, he worked hard and was able to reach the perfect physique of an embryonic immortal or true nascent realm body. He was the best in what he does. That's why he could not accept such a thing that someone could just step on him because he is a genius.

Looking at Shin Jiao at the front, he clenched his teeth and promises himself to create the energy foundation pill and breakthrough. Then he would enter the resource contest between towns in Ta'al city and prove that his hard work is not inferior.

…

After the recognition and the reward from Shin Jiao which he gave each of them, the rest of the people went back as the class is already over. Those who failed stayed in the laboratory to try and determine what they have done wrong.

Shin Jiao on the other hand is in the building's conference room along with the local town lords and the three high lords.

"Mr. Jiao, what is that thing that you gifted those five? They look… astounded and excited." Nun Biyu Long asked immediately.

"Ah… that was my new invention. It's called Flame Control Array. I know it is hard to find natural fire essence. So I decided to make it. Its fire strength is equivalent to a rare blue fire. But it would cost 3 energy cores per hour."

The town lords and the high lords suddenly froze in place. They all gawk at what Shin Jiao said.

"Wait… What did you just say?" suddenly Aiya Wine who is near Shin Jiao could not control herself and immediately held Shin Jiao's shoulders while shaking him.

"You… how… how could you just give such a precious gift… You… you should…" she muttered but gave up.

Ever since this new building was built a month ago, hundreds of small trinkets began appearing in the market. Those who assisted in the experiments would casually sell them outside. And it would cause a lot of people to fight over it.

However, those five burners are different. If the alchemist association could learn about it, then Vitol town could get their very own huge resources relying only on those things.

"No… We… we should think this over. We have to keep this a secret from the alchemists association. All of you, local lords in Vitol town should work together to make this a supplementary product. The three of us will work together with you all and we will cover this and sell it in the city in secret. Then the funds and resources would be sent to you every month. Plus we will get you guys a chance to cultivate in the immortal lake for two days every month."

When the local town lords heard the condition, they all gulped in excitement.

Two days… for them, two days of cultivation in the immortal lake is like a year of close door cultivation. This kind of reward immediately riled everyone up.

Then the rest began to discuss the possible effect of that product to the rest of the alchemists in every city.

Shin Jiao actually agrees with the plan of those High Lords. With their influence, the products would be turned into resources that he needed the most for his plans for the town. Shin Jiao has already discovered that the local clan lords actually didn't want to dip their hands in gathering resources. This is because those resources are not of use to their own cultivation anymore.

As to why the three high lords are helping them, Shin Jiao still could not figure it out.

After the meeting, Shin Jiao went back to his private laboratory inside the building. On his way, he saw Frances Jill who has already begun training under him as an apprentice craftsman.

"Shin��� how was the meeting? My master was too excited when she came out… did you gave them the new trial products?" Frances Jill immediately asked upon noticing Shin Jiao.

"Umm… I hope it could help them. With those, refining stability and purity would be around 90%."

"Haha… I guess that's why my master was thoroughly stunned even after she came out of the building."

"Well, we still have a lot of work to do." Shin Jiao said while patting Frances Jill's shoulder.

After Shin Jiao left, Frances Jill went back to his work, memorizing and reading the rune combinations book which Shin Jiao gave him.

Shin Jiao entered a sealed room and activated an array.

He then proceeds to sit on the table and look at the small gadget lying in it.

"Creating an artifact in this place is harder than I thought." Shin Jiao muttered as he concentrated and began his work.

Meanwhile, in a faraway town, a monk appears. This is the same monk that was sent to fetch Shin Jiao on planet Gaeus Ro, Monk Han Guk. Beside the monk stands a tall and handsome young man.

"This is Shanguan Lao a talented embryonic immortal with a strong affinity to lightning Dao." Monk Han Guk introduces with a smile.

The silver armored protector cupped his hands and bowed towards the monk with respect. Although that monk looks simple, the silver armored protector knew that his cultivation is already at the saint level a level 90 plus being which is already close to being a deity.

Hence the respect shown to monk Han Guk was really evident.

After receiving Shanguan Lao he was admitted to the Long clan area.

Monk Han Guk left and was walking down the road when he suddenly turns in the direction of Pheasant town.

"Hmm… that's weird. The aura of that young man is not in the village. Did he already become a servant? That's impossible his affinity to the Dao elements is very weak.. Unlike that person who came to the same world as his…" Monk Han Guk muttered as he just shook his head and suddenly disappear.
