The Geared Immortal

Chapter 512

/*unedited*/

Capital of Yi city, Zone 6

In a dark back alley, a figure suddenly appears out of thin air. A figure is a young man with a calm expression on his face. A slight smile can be seen on his mouth while his gaze is looking at a certain place.

The place where he appears is a dark back alley with a strange stench in the air. There are also much garbage on the side and the mist coming from the underground are the source of the strange smell in the air.

Shin Jiao look around and nodded his head in contentment. With a wave of his hand, four young women appear and stood in front of him.

"Master, you were so awesome!" Nao Guo suddenly exclaimed with an excited tone in her voice.

"Yes, Master… I truly admire your strength…"

"Yeah, me too…"

"If only I can have that kind of strength… I may be able to protect my sisters more… Sigh…" suddenly the helpless voice of Mei Ao was heard.

Shin Jiao saw her biting her lips as if thinking of a way to change her situation.

"This girl… she is already this strong, if she became stronger, she would be a monstrous existence… well, it would be not that bad as long as someone can look after Nao Guo. I know I won't be able to stay with these girls for long." Shin Jiao thought.

Suddenly an idea pops out of his mind.

Actually, the strength of Mei Ao and battle ability is not that bad. However, her techniques are common and rely mostly on the extraneous use of Qi in her body. This is the normal path of most cultivators; hence he can already see the flaws whenever he fights them. That is also one of the reasons why Shin Jiao can easily defeat his opponent.

He can effectively manage his energy that he is able to fight hundreds of the same cultivation levels as him before depleting his spheres. Plus with the use of his gears, then who can defeat him? But this fighting style of his was learned through hi experienced and he has shared some of them with some of the people he called friends and family in this world.

So he decided to treat Mei Ao as one of his family and would teach her a technique or two.

"Alright, before everything else… let's find an inn or a hotel to rest for a while."

Hearing his words, the three girls became happy, but Mei Ao showed a bit of hesitation and helplessness in her expression. She tried to have her luck if her master would be able to teach her some skills, but it seems it failed. But she would not give up. She wanted to be of use to her master, and repay for his kindness towards her and her sisters. Hence she would pester him to teach him, even if it takes her a long time.

The group walks out of the dark alley and appears in the main street where many people are walking and shops are all over the place. The four girls are all showing excited expressions and they began pointing at things which giggling and smiling non-stop.

Shin Jiao felt a bit of youthful essence in the air and his heart also became warm and felt relaxed. Yi city is really like the same as on earth. Though many things in this place are not that advance like some of the buildings which still retained its medieval design, it is already enough to make him feel at home.

Not long later, they arrive in a big hotel and Shin Jiao felt somewhat familiar with the way things happening inside. Hence he led the group to walk towards the receptionist counter.

"Hello! Good afternoon! How may I be of service?" the woman in the counter said while cupping her hands in greetings.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback but still regained his composure and smiled.

"Yes, I want to have a suite room…" he asked.

When the woman heard his words, her face stiffens and didn't know what to do as she did not know what the man in front of her is talking about.

Shin Jiao immediately noticed this and cleared his throat.

"I mean… can I have your biggest room or two connected rooms."

"Oh… oh… Yes, sir… You can have either the Sect master's room or the King's room… The sect master's room is a big room with 2 beds, while the King's room is two big rooms with four beds…" the woman explained.

"Hmm… I'll take the King's room then." Shin Jiao said.

"Yes, that would be 5,000,000 gold. We also accept spirit stones, banknotes, and transfer." She added.

"Five… five million gold?! How… how much is that in spirit stones?" Shin Jiao asked feeling a bit taken aback by the price.

He was too flabbergasted by the price of a mere room in a hotel. But before the woman can answer, Mei Ao suddenly said.

"Master, 1,000 gold is equal to 1 spirit stones. So it's basically 5,000 low-grade spirit stones in total."

"Ah, I see… Hehe…" Shin Jiao replied with a smile.

He didn't read the guide when entering the city, hence he has no clue. Luckily for him, Mei Ao is a very meticulous young woman and has wanted to show her use to the team. Hence she took the liberty to gain the knowledge enough to know about the city. And because of this, his face was saved.

"Alright, thanks for that… Here are 5,000 spirit stones…" Shin Jiao immediately gave his payment.

After entering the room, Shin Jiao immediately called for Mei Ao. And the two of them went to the other room.

"I see that you've been upset for a while now… why is that?" Shin Jiao asked calmly.

Mei Ao was a bit surprised and her expression turned fearful. She knew that she had made a mistake. She should not be upset with her master; it was all because of her carelessness.

"Master Ji… I'm… I'm sorry… I… I…"

Shin Jiao waves his hand and stops her from explaining herself.

"Sigh… just tell me the truth…" Shin Jiao said with a calm and gentle expression.

"Umm… Master, I… I wanted to learn from you. Please teach me!" Mei Ao said while kneeling to the ground and bowing.

Shin Jiao smirked and shook his head.

"Why should I?" he asked with a teasing smile on his face.

"I… I wanted to be of help to your master. I… I wanted to be able to protect my three sisters." She said as she already treated Nao Guo as her sister.

"And what can you give me, if I teach you?" Shin Jiao asked.

Immediately Mei Ao's heart skipped a beat.

"Could it be? Could it be that master wants my… No… No, he is not that kind of person… I know!" Mei Ao thought and a bright expression appears on her face while still bowing.

"If you want my life master, I will give it to you… As long as I can be of use, I am willing to offer my life…"

Hearing her sincere words, Shin Jiao smile and gave a knowing bow.

"This woman is very intelligent… a good seed indeed…" he thought as he stood up.

With a wave of his hand the adjacent door suddenly open and three figures stumble to the ground in a sorry manner.

"Ouch!... who opened the door?" Ying Ao complained while patting her head which bumped with her sister.

"Aw… my hand your butt is sitting on my hand…" Nao Guo said while pushing the voluptuous butt of Zhi Ao.

Zhi Ao on the other hand had a look of surprise while her eyes are looking at Shin Jiao.

"Master… We… we didn't mean to…"

"Haha… naughty little rascals… Come here…" Shin Jiao just chuckled and wave his hand to the group.

The three line up along with Mei Ao and bow their heads not daring to look at Shin Jiao except Nao Guo. Her innocent eyes are looking at Shin Jiao with curiosity. She heard that the master is going to make elder sister Mei his concubine from the two older sisters, so she is a bit curious.

"Alright, since you girls are with me now… I decided to teach the four of you some skills to defend yourselves… but remember this… once you learned these skills, do not try to spar with others… what I am going to teach you are sure-kill skills that would eliminate your opponent once they got hit by it. So, it is crucial that you do not test these skills against your sisters... And another thing, you should not teach these skills to others lest you desire others to scheme against you, do you understand?" Shin Jiao said with a stern voice.

He needs to make sure that these girls understood the seriousness of what he is going to teach them.

Upon hearing his words, the three older girls were shaken. Sure kill skills, those are trump cards that a sect would protect and never reveal to others, but their master is willing to teach it to them. This truly made their hearts moved by their master's trust.

Unknown to Shin Jiao, his words just now has already lit a fire in the hearts of the three Ao sisters to promise deep in their hearts to be his loyal students and that they would treat him as their own father.

He suddenly had four daughters at this moment.

"Yes, master! We will obey and follow your words…" the three simultaneously said with Nao Guo just following their example and also said after them.

This made Shin Jiao contented and took out three skill books in his ring. Using his ability to craft, he copied them and made 3 more copied totaling to 12 books now.. Then he gave 3 books to each of them and took them inside his ring for their individual practice.
