The Geared Immortal

Part  10

/*unedited*/

An awkward silence ensued between the two as Melissa Krin hugged herself while trying to cover her exposed bosom. She didn't actually want for it to happen, however, that ambiguous posture of hers gives Joe Wang's a clear view vision of her two cleavage and exposed nipples.

Her face was all red as she tried to recover from her state of mind. She wanted to berate the young man, yet upon seeing his face, she decided not to. Still, she has that feeling of safety in front of this young man.

Meanwhile, Joe Wang's state of mind is now in a mess. He really wanted to see those beautiful things again, but at the same time didn't. His hands even unconsciously wanted to grope them, but because of his strong self-control, he was able to suppress that desire.

"Ahem…" Joe Wang cleared his throat from the awkwardness.

"Let's… let's eat…"Joe Wang said as he gestured for her to take a seat at the table.

The two silently ate breakfast as if nothing had happened, as Joe Wang immediately change the topic while eating.

"Big sister, I wanted to earn some money using pills. Would that be possible?" Joe Wang asked trying to show an innocent face.

Upon seeing him, Melissa Krin's expression and feeling changed.

With a smile she said.

"Well, in truth people will think that you are a sham, and would not buy any of your so-called pills… Can I ask? Is what you're doing really effective? I mean, I don't want to question how I found you in the forest, but pills, talismans, and those things are just myths and legends. People don't believe in them anymore."

"Well, I would just show them then." Joe Wang replied with confidence.

"Haha… little brother, your way of thinking is too honest. You see not all people believe in those anymore, so I would suggest you think of other ways to scam… sell… I mean sell stuff to people." she answered with a wry smile.

"Hmm… Okay, I'll try to think of other ways to earn money then." Joe Wang said as he suddenly thinks deeply.

He needed to earn money fast because he wanted to be able to buy some cultivation and crafting resources. This way he could increase his cultivation fast enough to be able to protect himself in this world.

As far as his searching is concerned, on the surface, this world doesn't have anyone who is more powerful than a mid-stage body refining realm cultivator. That would be equals to having 4 to 6 spheres in his dantian. If he can reach that then, he would be able to defeat anyone in this world. But that is on the premise that there are no cultivators in this world.

But Joe Wang knows that sometimes, worlds are more than meets the eye.

As an immortal cultivator who has almost reached the peak, he has visited countless worlds and in each world, there would always be someone who is protecting it, someone whom the people of that planet called God or even Gods.

These being are the beings governing each planet and would protect it from any outside enemy.

Many of these beings didn't want to bother with anything that would happen inside these living planets, and would only interfere if there is some force strong enough to oppose that God of the planet.

And so with this knowledge, Joe Wang's goal is to be able to be strong enough to protect his own happiness. He has already tried the path to immortality and found it to be boring and full of bitter wars and heartache. So this time, he would try to live a normal life and would just go with the flow of time from there. He wanted to be an unfettered immortal roaming this planet or the other planets after this.

While his thought began drifting away, the voice of Melissa Krin brought him back to reality.

"Maybe you can make paper talismans. I would like to have one of those paper talismans that can conjure the weather or even fire, water, wind or earth."

Upon hearing her words, a light bulb suddenly lit up in Joe Wang's mind.

"Right… How about a single-use protection talisman?" Joe Wang asked.

"Single-use talisman? What do you mean by that?" She asked in confusion.

"Single-use means that once you've used it the talisman would burn and vanish into dust…" Joe Wang said.

Then upon seeing the still confused expression on Melissa Krin's good looking face, Joe Wang explained further.

"For example, someone would shoot you. If you have a talisman, then the first shot would not hurt you. But the talisman would be consumed."

"Oh… that would be great! But are you sure that you can make those? You're not going to sham people, are you? If you do, I would never talk to you again." Melissa Krin said with a hint of doubt in her face while she pouted cutely.

"Shit, she's really cute." Joe Wang thought as he smiled sheepishly.

"Trust me with this big sister, okay?" Jong Wang said with confidence.

"Alright, so what do we need to do then… I feel excited about making this." Melissa Krin said as she would do anything.

Upon seeing her hopeful reaction, Joe Wang could not help but sigh helplessly.

He would be using his own blood in making the talismans. With his current strength, he can only make 5 talismans and after that needed 12 hours to rest and regain his strength back. But as long as he is able to raise his cultivation, then making more would be easy. But of course, he would not do this forever; he still has a goal to enjoy his life in this world.

"We need thick paper… maybe those papers used in oil painting." Joe Wang muttered while thinking.

Then silence has once again taken over the two. But upon waiting for a while, Melissa Krin asked impatiently.

"Is that it? Only canvas paper?"

"Huh… Yeah, that's it. Why do we need anything else?" Joe Wang said with a knowing smile.

"You…" Melissa Krin suddenly raised her hand and hit Joe Wang's head with her palm.

"You're playing with me aren't you? Let me show you how your big sister teaches you a lesson." Melissa Krin said as she suddenly stood up.

But as soon as she did, Joe Wang's eyes unconsciously look at her two bulging bosoms. This could not be blamed on Joe Wang, because Melissa Krin's bosoms are truly attractive which made him felt uncontrollably attracted to look at them. And even though she has already worn a bra before they ate, her loose clothing still made her look very attractive.

"Humph… do you want me to poke your eyes out?" Melissa Krin said while showing an angry face.

When Joe Wang heard this he immediately shifted his gaze towards the corner as if nothing happened.

"Anyway, big sister, let's start making talismans now." Joe Wang immediately changed the topic.

This made Melissa Krin's expression change, she suddenly feels that this little brother of hers truly knows how to escape being chastised by her.

"Ok, so you only need a canvas paper, right?" she asked in confirmation.

Joe Wang nods his head and he stood up from the dining table and began to clean the table since both of them are already finished eating.

After a while, the two sat in the living room with a single piece of canvas paper lying on the table.

Upon seeing the thickness and texture, Joe Wang immediately smiled and felt elated. As an artificer, he is proficient in runes and array as they are one of the most important parts of the arts he learned in making artifacts.

Although this world is not that abundant in natural energies and Qi, he is still able to trap some of those using runes and glyphs using his blood as the conductor.

First, Joe Wang cut the canvas paper into palm-size strips, where he produced many strips. He separated 5 of those strips and hid the rest of them.

He then put his index finger near his mouth and was about to take a bite on the tip when a hand suddenly rushed in to stop him.

"Wait! What are you doing? You mean to use your own blood?" Melissa Krin asked in disbelief.

She could not believe that the young man is going to use his own blood in making the talisman.

"Does he think that he is an immortal? This kid is watching too much drama on TV." She thought as he looks at Joe Wang suspiciously.

She is actually not yet convinced that Joe Wang is what he said he is. The old master that he talked about the magic that he has shown, she thinks that all of those are just illusions. So she didn't want to see Joe Wang bleeding while trying to satisfy her vanity.

Seeing her reaction, Joe Wang couldn't help but chuckle.

"Relax, I will show you later how effective these things are." Joe Wang said as he easily freed himself from her grasps and quickly bit the tip of his index finger.

Then he immediately wrote the combination runes and glyphs on the paper as fast as he could. He could not let the blood on his finger be wasted. With this great control on the natural energy, he was able to control the thickness of the blood needed to write the rune.

Then to Melissa Krin's amazement, she saw a red fine line, like something coming from a pen being drawn on the surface of the paper talisman. Not long later, Joe Wang was able to finish his very first talisman in this new world that he is in.

And as soon as he finished the rune, he immediately saw a thin strand of spiritual and natural energy converging in the paper talisman making it glow bright golden in color.

But only Joe Wang can see this while Melissa Krin on his side is oblivious to this phenomenon.

"So… is that it? The drawing felt weird and the atmosphere seems comfortable. I think you've drawn something that can calm one's feeling." She said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, it's not yet done." Joe Wang said as he observes the flow of Qi and mana in the air.

Then after a couple of minutes, Melissa Krin is already showing a bored expression, but she can't deny the fact that she can feel some calming air around her.

When Joe Wang saw that the paper talisman finished its absorbing process, he suddenly stood up and jumped to the air.

This made Melissa Krin stunned. But then her expression change as the direction of the fall of Joe Wang is directly on top of the glass table.

"This crazy boy, is he trying to break my glass table?" she thought.

Though she wanted to move except her reaction was too late.

Then suddenly a loud bang sounded which made her rooted to the ground unable to move. She knows that reacting this time is already too late all she can do is help Joe Wang with his wounds after his folly.

She didn't expect that he would try to prove himself by doing such an absurd act.. Although she felt concerned with the young man, however, her heart is aching upon thinking of the broken glass table.
