The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1256

(Unedited)

…

Although she did not want to believe in the young man, she did not have any choice but to try. He is not asking for any compensation anyway, so she thought that the young man is a bit trustworthy.

Jade Gullina looks at the young man who is focused while checking her arms and then her neck… he even checked her eyes carefully.

"Hmm… Your age seems a bit off… I thought you were in your late 30s but I guess you're only in your 20s…" Xin Ja muttered after he finished checking her condition.

"You… you can tell?" she stammered.

"Umm… Anyway, here is what I can do… I will use a single needle to poke your stomach… Then from there, I will try to close your core… I think your body is exuding a high amount of energy and also suppressing it at the same time… That is the reason for your sickness, right?" Xin Ja repeated what Doctor Young has said.

"Umm… I should be around C-rank, but because it was abrupt, then my body is crumbling on its own…"

"No worries… So, let's start?" Xin Ja gestured for her to lie down flat.

"Will… will it be painful?" she showed a hint of fear.

"Are you afraid of pain?"

"Umm… A little bit…"

"Hmm… I will try my best…" Xin Ja did not promise her anything.

He did not know whether the process would be painful or not, he can only promise to do his best.

She decided to just put her trust in the young man and slowly lay down while also partly closing her eyes.

From somewhere, she noticed the young man taking out a long needle. The length of the needle made the back of her skull tingle.

"Alright, I will now be staring…" Xin Ja said as he sits beside her and then carefully exposed a part of the snow-white skin of her stomach.

Her face grimaced when she saw that he is about to insert the long needle into her skin.

She has already clenched her fist into a ball while trying to control her fearful emotion.

"Relax… this will sting a bit…" Xin Ja showed a calm smile on his face.

Jade Gullina felt something entering her stomach, but for the expected pain, she was a bit surprised as all she could feel is the cold sensation of the needle being inserted inside.

"How do you feel?" Xin Ja asked.

"It's okay… I guess…" she said not knowing how to explain.

"Okay, I am about to reach your core. Please… relax and try to grit your teeth a bit…" Xin Ja reminded.

Jade's face turned pale. But before she could say anything, her mind suddenly went blank as her body was suddenly enveloped with strange warm energy.

At this time, a grin suddenly appears on Xin Ja's face.

"This is jackpot… She has a mutated lightning attribute…" Xin Ja thought as he showed a hint of excitement.

Then he quickly began absorbing the vast amount of Ki.

…

An hour has passed…

Xin Ja reluctantly stopped and then removed the long silver needle.

As of this moment, he could not contain his excitement at a large amount of chaotic Ki he has absorbed from her Shen core.

At first, he was worried as he could sense that there is something that suppresses the Chaotic Ki turning it into nothing but air, but soon he realized that this phenomenon is not that strong. It was unlike what he has learned from Shen Wang Song.

According to the Shen Wang Song, as soon as one would be exposed to the other side, their Shen energy and ability would already be gone. But from what he could see, it is different now.

"I think this is caused by the random opening of those dark voids…" Xin Ja thought of a conjecture.

And so he did not hesitate to continuously absorb the chaotic Ki and put everything he has harvested inside the black pearl.

He dares not absorb it directly in his dantian sphere else he suffers exploding from the amount of Ki.

And after absorbing enough to stabilize her body, he immediately closes her core. But he could fully close an awakened core. He could take it out, which would render it useless, or completely drain it, which is impossible for him to do, or balance it to the constitution of the person.

Since she is weak, he decided to just balance the awakening of her core to her physique.

"It is done… You are now an F-rank awakened… You do not have to worry about your body being destroyed…" he stood up and then turns around to leave.

"Wait… What… What is your name?" she asked feeling a bit shy.

"I… I don't know. I have forgotten my name when the hospital found me…"

The woman showed an incredulous expression.

As of right now, her complexion is already changing for the better. Since her body's healing ability can now cope with the energy from her core, her true complexion and skin elasticity are now coming back.

"Anyway… Thank you… If ever you need my help with anything in the future, you can just look for me. This is my card…" she said as she took a name card from her purse at the side of the table and handed them to Xin Ja.

Xin Ja accepted and nodded his head.

He then walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out, his face immediately became flabbergasted.

"Hihi… I knew you are good with medicine… You can even cure something that the world has already given up on…" Doctor Young said as he patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

"It is just too bad that you did not know your own background…" he added while shaking his head.

Xin Ja's lips twitched as he reluctantly followed Doctor Young.

"With your skill and my influence and connection, we can help more people… Hehehe…" Doctor Young chuckled while the two walked towards the 3rd floor of the hospital.

On this floor, the area looks very clean and sanitary with minimal presence of any outsiders inside.

Only the doctors and nurses assigned to this floor are present.

By this time, Xin Ja and Doctor Young have arrived in the ICU unit of the hospital.

"Young man… This is the place where some of the hopeless patients are staying. In fact, a month from now, Miss Gullina should have entered this ward because she would be undergoing another procedure…" Doctor Young walked followed by Xin Ja.

"But I guess, she did not have to, right?"

Xin Ja did not deny the words of Doctor Young. No matter what, the woman named Jade Gullina is already cured of her condition.

The two then began roving and Xin Ja would casually choose from the patients inside the ICU room whom he would help.

After the two left, there are around 5 patients that were staying in the ICU room having critical conditions, sent back to the ordinary ward.

This is because they have already become conscious and their body is already slowly recovering. And the thing about this incident is that all of them were awakened.

If Xin Ja could still contain the energy from those people's bodies in his black orb, then he would not stop to just 5. However, he could not absorb any more, so he decided to just come back later.

From the huge harvest he have, he knew that it would take him more than a year to finish absorbing such a vast amount of Ki. But he has his machinery that uses Ki as fuel. Now he did not have to be worried about using Ki stones.

The two began talking while Doctor Young seemed to have become a student.

Xin Ja is proficient in both traditional medicine and modern medicine. And since in this world, those two are also present, he shared some of it with Doctor Young.

But most of their conversation is pointed at modern medicine.

As a surgeon, Doctor Young is used to cutting up a person and fixing them from the inside out. But he also did not look down on traditional medicine as he already saw its true effect while watching and observing Xin Ja.

After talking for a while, Doctor Young contentedly went back to his office with a book full of notes. He suddenly became curious about that thing that Xin Ja is calling potion and pills.

If those things are true as what Xin Ja said they were… then he is sure that they would be very useful in surgeries. But what baffled him is how the young man had partial amnesia.

He could remember some things but also forgets a lot of them.

What he did not know is that Xin Ja deliberately acted as such so that the doctor would not suspect him.

That night, Xin Ja went back to his room and when he was inside, he carefully checked his Unique Vision. From there, he saw that the portal is already completed and it is at 100%.

"I guess it's time to try if I can go back now…" he thought as he slowly closes his eyes.

With eyes closed, he then muttered…

"Portal!… Open!"
