The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1259

(Unedited)

…

The pressure erupted and Xin Ja just followed the Ki movement in the air. He found it interesting and did not even think about what is happening outside. His mind is fully focused on the Ki movement in the air as his body followed suit.

He suddenly discovered that the Ki movement is actually showing a profound fighting technique. This fighting technique is something that the Ban family might be practicing. It might even be something that their ancestors left for them.

If that is true, then this fighting technique is from a Shen that belongs to the Ban family. The reason why Xin Ja thinks about this is because of the age of the stone formation around him.

With his keen eyes, he could tell that these stones are actually thousands of years old.

He did not know when it appears in the Ban clan, but he knew that these stones are crafted many years ago. But the family is not using fully its potential.

Xin Ja secretly began to pry on the secrets of the formation using his absolute sense and was shocked at what he discovered.

"There are many profound techniques embedded in these stones. It seems that this stone strength assessment is just a cover for the true purpose of these stones…" Xin Ja thought with a wide smile on his face.

From what he could see inside the Ki flow and micro runes embedded secretly in the stones, there are hundreds of fighting techniques in it.

Plus, what made it precious is that the formation could guide one on how to use the technique, and the strength needed to fully practice each of the techniques.

Xin Ja did not waste his time and quickly uses his photographic memory to memorize the techniques he liked. He then copied the array formations in the area and the flow of Ki as he plans to use such formations to also teach the people in his family.

If the Ban family is trustworthy, then he would share this discovery with them. But if they burn the bridge after crossing it, then he could only say his sorry in secret.

He would take this as his payment for healing Master Ban.

After memorizing everything, Xin Ja noticed that the Ki flow stopped.

He frowns and then looks at the people around him.

Everyone is looking at him with a dumbfounded expression. Some even have their eyes wide open and their mouth agape while looking.

Xin Ja frowned a bit, then looks at Qian Yan with a questioning gaze.

She just lifted one of her eyebrows and smirked.

Xin Ja walked towards her and the people quickly made their way.

"What is happening?" he asked while looking at everyone.

"Freak…" she said with a playful smile.

Suddenly the silent courtyard was interrupted by a burst of loud laughter.

"Hahaha… I knew that this young lad is not that simple…" Master Ban Xen walked towards the testing area followed by two middle-aged men.

Xin Ja quickly cupped his hands and bowed.

"Master Ban…" Xin Ja and Qian Yan greeted.

"Grandfather…" Ban Railong also greeted.

Master Ban nodded his head and then looks at Xin Ja with a hint of jealousy and expectation in his eyes. He truly envied Master Wang for getting such an excellent disciple. He now so wanted to get the young man as his own disciple.

"Young lad, what do you think of the Ban clan?" he suddenly said with a grin.

Everyone immediately went silent when they heard this. Disbelief is written all over their faces.

How could they not know what is in the mind of the clan's great patriarch?

"Master Ban… This… Master Wang…" one of the middle-aged-looking men suddenly wanted to say something but stopped.

He is also a Ki master at the level of Master Ban. And he also knew who Xin Ja's master is. When he heard that Master Ban was cured by Doctor Shin, he immediately knew that it was the disciple of his old friend Master Wang.

He too wanted to meet the young man, and to his luck, he finally saw the guy.

The three were looking from afar for a while now and noticed that Xin Ja walked in the middle of the formation. A deep frown appears on their faces as they knew that his cultivation level is only at the 1st level Ki fighter.

They are curious on why Master Wang took the child as his disciple even after knowing his weakness.

But what he saw now immediately dispel all of his doubts. The young man could not be measured by common sense.

Even from afar, they could already see the indicator pointing at the 10th level. And yet the guy did not even feel the pressure.

From that alone, they now knew that the young brat is hiding something, and is not simple at all.

But Master Ban is far too straightforward in his desire for such a talent.

"I'm sorry Master Ban… I already have 2 teachers and Master Wang is a bit annoyed because of it… So I can only apologize…" Xin Ja replied politely.

"Hmm… Such a pity…" Master Ban said while shaking his head.

He was just trying his luck after all.

"I think you've discovered something, am I right?" Master Ban suddenly asked with a crafty smile on his face.

Xin Ja could not deny that these old monsters are truly formidable. The old guy could even tell that he was learning the secret of the stones.

"I will not ask for anything… But…" Master Ban smiled.

Xin Ja could not help but bit his lips and nodded his head.

This belongs to their clan anyway, so it doesn't matter if he told them. At least he already had gotten what he wanted from the thing.

Xin Ja then checked the condition of Master Ban and nodded his head.

Inside the room, Xin Ja is staying with Master Ban and the two middle-aged Ki Masters.

"Let me introduce to you these two friends of mine… This is Ki Master Foo, and this is Ki Master Lee… They are also good friends of your master." He introduced.

"Junior greets the Masters!" Xin Ja bowed politely.

"I have seen your talent… Anyway, I think you two have something to talk about, why not we leave you alone…" Master Lee said.

Master Ban waved his hand and let the two stay in the room.

"The three of us are always open… Our families have tide troublesome matters, what is there to keep a secret from each other…" Master Ban said.

In fact, he is grateful to these two for convincing Master Wang to agree to be treated by his student. This is because… the implication of failure in his disease would surely become a burden to the young man. But because of the guarantee of the two, Master Wang relents.

Xin Ja nodded his head and quickly describe to the three Ki Masters the strength testing formation. He told them what he discovered.

After hearing Xin Ja's words, the expression of the three Ki Masters turned serious.

"That thing… That thing is very precious… I did not expect that the ancestors would create such an object to train the disciples of the Ban clan…" Master Ban muttered.

A slight smile appears on the two Ki Master's faces…

"Master Ban… I think this is a great opportunity for our three clans… If what Little Ja is saying is true, then we can use this to help our future generation improve…" Ki Master Foo suggested.

"Hmm… Alright, how about we do this…" the three Ki Masters began to discuss while Xin Ja bid his farewell.

He did not want to listen to their plans as he already has his own plan.

As he walked out, he noticed Ban Railong trying to impress Qian Yan who is just ignoring him while focused on drinking her tea while enjoying the view in front of her.

Ban Railong felt helpless and was about to become impatient when he saw Xin Ja walking out.

"Little…" he suddenly stopped when he realized that Xin Ja's strength is actually higher than him.

He might even be a Ki adept as he did not even flinch at the 10th level pressure which is the maximum.

"Young Master Xin… How was my grandfather?" he asked politely.

"Master Ban is already fine. He is as fit as a cow…" Xin Ja teases.

"Ahh… Okay, thank you for helping him." Ban Railong said.

"Have lunch before leaving…"

Xin Ja nodded his head.

That afternoon he had lunch at the Ban family. Xin Ja met Ban Railong's wife and his concubine who are all glaring at Qian Yan because Ban Railong is showing too much affection toward the young woman.

Master Ban also noticed this but did not take heed.

He could sense that the young woman is not interested in his grandson. But she seems to be interested in Xin Ja.

He could not help but shake his head and could only glare at his grandson.

After lunch, Xin Ja and Qian Yan left.

That afternoon, Xin Ja stayed at the park and looks at the sky. That was when Qian Yan finally bid her farewell to go back to the capital.
