The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1319

…

The medicine saint… in the history of the Jimal kingdom there rose up a genius known as the medicine saint. According to rumors from the alchemist society, where alchemist of every kind from every kingdom within the empire congregates and share their thoughts, there are two geniuses that arose from the Jimal kingdom in terms of alchemy.

One is the genius from the alchemists association of the Jimal kingdom, Rou Chenchen. She was the one who reintroduced the method of concocting pills.

The second one is the mysterious youth who can concoct pills and potions alike with the highest purity and effect.

But this youth is too elusive that no one could have seen in his real face. But everyone could only distinguish him because of that weird cloak he would wear which would blur his face.

Many have dubbed him as the Medicine Saint, someone who can create miraculous drugs anytime anywhere, just like a saint.

So even in the Radong Kingdom, the fame of Medicine Saint is widespread.

While Xin Ja and Go Manjong are talking the door was suddenly kicked open.

Then 3 men walked inside with sinister faces while looking at the two figures.

"Well, would you look at that… He is able to quickly stand up even after that beating from caretaker Yu…" of the men laughed evilly.

These three people wanted to cause some trouble to gain the favor of caretaker Yu. They have been his lackey for some time now and the three of them would always follow up on what caretaker Yu would do.

Within the servants, these three people have caused too much harm, but no one has the guts to tell on them because of fear of retaliation from their backer, caretaker Yu.

As the three servants walked closer, the expression of Xin Ja turned cold. He clenched his fist as he was about to make his move.

But then he stopped as he saw someone standing just outside the door.

"Ahem…" a gentle voice clearing her throat froze the three scoundrels.

"It seems that the mansion has already lowered its discipline that mere slaves can already do such things…" the voice of Aunt Jing was heard by the three.

When they turn around, they immediately lowered themselves to the ground and began to beg her.

"Old madam! We beg you to spare us… This is just a mere understanding…" one of them pleaded.

"Yes, we are actually here to help this little brother…"

"Yes, yes, that's right… We are here to help him… We saw that he was disciplined by caretaker Yu because of his mistakes, so we offer some help…"

The three began to justify their actions.

"Do you three think that I'm stupid? That caretaker Yu is just some slave just like you guys… How dare he whips a slave of the master…" the old lady sneered.

Before the 3 men could say anything else, they saw flame appearing on the old lady's palm. Then in a blink of an eye, the flames covered their body and burn them to death.

When arriving at the manor, she has heard of the atrocities of these fellows and it annoyed An Xensu. This, in turn, annoyed her.

While looking at the burning corpses she looks at Xin Ja. She suddenly grinned and said.

"Interesting indeed… Hihi…"

Her chuckle sent shivers running down the spine of Xin Ja and Go Manjong.

…

The next day…

Xin Ja once again began working in the refining hall carrying stuff and also in the medicinal garden. Go Manjong would always be beside him as the two would sometimes talk and share stories.

Their friendship began to form making Xin Ja feel that the chore in this place is not that hard and boring anymore.

That day, An Xensu called him in the main hall of the manor.

In the main hall, there is a large alchemy pot and some already refined medicine liquid.

"Xin Ja come here…" called the old lady as she gestured for him to stand beside her.

Xin Ja quickly bowed his head and greeted everyone in the hall.

He has not seen these people before, so he is a bit curious about who these people are.

The beautiful An Xensu looks at the crowd and the other refining servants entering. After the last person enters, she nodded her head, and the door of the hall closes.

"Today, the young miss is going to refine her first-ever pill… If this is successful, then the young miss will be able to enter the ranks of pill kings amongst the alchemy masters of our kingdom." An old man announces in a loud voice.

Everyone looks at each other and showed an expression of surprise and elation.

If their mistress truly becomes a pill king, then they... even though they are servants, they would have high status as the pill king medicine refiners.

It was such an honor to be in this place.

"That old fogey is someone who is able to make the first pill in the kingdom when we first learned how to condense a pill… Although the pill he concocted is low grade, it is still considered a pill… However, in our kingdom, most pills are low grade. We still lack the ability to make medium and high-grade pills." The old lady whispered on the side.

Xin Ja was a bit confused about why the old lady is explaining this to him, but he did not say anything and just nodded his head.

The old man then looks at the refined medicine as he opens them one by one.

Soon, his expression suddenly changes as he opens one porcelain bottle after another.

"This… this…" he muttered in a shock.

He then looks at the slave refiners of the manor with a shocked expression.

"Did these refined medicine done by these fellows?" he suddenly asked while pointing at the refiners.

A slight smile appears in An Xensu's eyes and nodded her head.

Then the expression of the old man turned a bit serious.

Who did not know what kind of refining ability is he seeing? In his time as an alchemist, he has not seen such purity.

"This is 90%... no more than that… If my conjecture is correct, one of these slaves should have refined all of these… but who?" the old man thought as he looks at the slaves with suspicion.

However, no matter how he looks at them, he still feels a bit confused. These guys are only at the 1st level Ki-fighter realm, how could they refine such a good batch of liquid?

He shook his head and decided to investigate more, later.

He then nodded his head to An Xensu.

She then stood behind the alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace was bought in the Jimal kingdom at a high price by her family.

Although it is old and only low-tier pills could be made with it, in the Kingdom of Radong, it could be considered a treasure already.

Plus, this furnace has concocted thousands of pills before, so she is confident that she would be able to show everyone her prowess.

In actual fact, she has already concocted a single pill out of many dregs using this furnace, so this is only for formalities in accepting her as a pill king.

Her hands began to move and her Ki controlled the flame inside the furnace.

Then she began putting the ingredients in the furnace.

While watching her movement, everyone in the hall showed shocked and awed expressions except for some who has already seen such actions.

After an hour of work and beads of sweat forming on her forehead, An Xensu finally was able to finish her concoction.

The smell of burnt medicinal dregs wafted in the air as she opens the furnace.

Then within the furnace, a single low-grade pill could be seen in the middle of the burnt ones.

A smile appears on An Xensu's face as she happily grabbed the pill.

"Ah! This is truly fascinating. This is a low-tier healing pill with the efficacy equal to two potion bottles…" the old man said with a smile.

"The An clan has now cultivated a pill king. Congratulations!" the old man exclaimed.

Then a small ceremony happened and everyone began to enjoy the small banquet.

The servants were sent outside along with Xin Ja who could not help but shake his head.

It seems that the alchemy association in the Jimal kingdom is a bit devious for doing such a thing.

How could he not know the technique that An Xensu has used?

"It seems that the kingdom of Jimal did not want to spread the true practice of concocting pills." He thought while shaking his head.

While Xin Ja talked and eat with Go Manjong and the rest, the eyes of the old lady are glued to him.

"What do you think, Aunt Jing?" beside her An Xensu, who has left the old alchemist on the table, asked.

"That guy seems to know that your technique is flawed… I could see it in his eyes, plus the refined medicine all came from him..." she said with a smile.

Meanwhile, on the side, caretaker Yu is currently whispering something to one of the old men while pointing at Xin Ja. Then the expression on the face of that old man turned sinister as he nodded his head.

The two seem to have come to a tacit understanding.
