The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1116

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja was a bit confused as to how important is that person who is wounded has to make an oath just to see that person. In his heart, he already knew that he did not want to do such a thing. Taking an oath requires him to hand his life to a force far greater than he could not imagine, hence he decided against it.

"Well… if it is like that… then I will decline in seeing the patient master…" Xin Ja said with a bow.

The two old men showed a hint of hesitation in their eyes. This is true especially to Divine Doctor Ba… he needed Xin Ja's expertise in needles as he knew that the boy could actually easily help him in this task. But it seems that the boy is reluctant to take an oath.

"Doctor Ba… the young kid has a sad experience when he was young… So I think he did not want to put his life in other people's hands…" Master Wang whispered.

Divine Doctor Ba nodded his head in realization.

Suddenly, a voice of a person from the far corner of the room interrupted the three.

"Let him see me… I do not mind…"

When the two elders heard this… their expression changed.

"Young Ja… Please, come this way…" Master Wang said with a smile.

The three of them went to the backside of the room where there is another room filled with the smell of medicine.

It looks like a special room for meditation which was converted into a hospital room.

On the bed in the middle of the room lays a masked individual with a white blanket covering his body. From the aura exuding from the man's body, Xin Ja would tell that this person is almost as powerful as Master Wang who is already a 21st level Ki Master.

But Master Wang has better control of his aura and is very low-key, that is why he is not that famous in the town. If only everyone knew that this old man is a 21st level Ki Master, he would already be hailed as the most powerful person in town.

As Xin Ja observes the masked guy on the bed, he could tell that something is wrong with his aura. When he is nearing the guy he could not help but try to sense the man's body condition through his hearing.

From that alone, he could already tell that something is wrong.

"This young lad is Young Xin Ja, the son of Xin Jong. He is an expert in using needles to create miracles on one's body. I can vouch for his skill… sir." Divine Doctor Ba said while cupping his hand in respect.

"I trust your judgment Divine Doctor Ba… Do whatever you can to help me…" the man said in a calm voice.

"Do you want to check him, Young Ja?" Divine Doctor Ba said.

Xin Ja was a bit hesitant when he steps forward and walks near the bed. At about one meter, he is already able to use his Absolute Sense, so he did not hesitate to quickly combine all of his senses.

Wheng!!!

Something came to his mind and a 3D image of the condition of the guy's body appears in his consciousness.

Xin Ja frowns and began analyzing the image.

"Hmm… I'm right… he has multiple fractures, and dislocated joints, bones, and internal organs which were not properly aligned. This would cause him pain and will not enable him to move normally…" Xin Ja muttered to himself.

But the three in the room could already hear his words.

"Hmmm… If I can… open up his… and then relocate his…" Xin Ja began to mutter to himself on what he could do to fix the condition of the man before him.

With his proceeding words, the expression of the two old men turned a bit complicated… they are worried that the man before them would suddenly deem the young Xin Ja as a quack doctor and chase him out.

But to their surprise, the man did not say anything and just watches the young man mutter and talk in the air while waving his hand as if he is imagining the things he could be doing.

They could even see a slight smile appearing on the man's face.

30 minutes later…

  Xin Ja regained his consciousness and then looks at the man on the bed.

"Sir… your condition is really bad. But… I think Divine Doctor Ba could help you…" Xin Ja said feeling a bit shy as he just realized that he was too engrossed in his thinking that he did not notice the people around him.

"Haha… What an interesting young fellow… Are you sure that you wanted to cut me up just to fix my wounds? Will that really work?" the man asked with a chuckle.

"Ugh…" Xin Ja was a bit dumbfounded as he could not take back what he has already said unconsciously.

But then he gritted his teeth and nodded his head. He knew that he could only do this to help his Master… and at the same time... he also could tell that this person holds a higher authority. Maybe if he could help him, his father would be able to rise through the ranks. So without thinking twice, he nodded his head.

"Good… A bit indecisive, but you made a decision on your own. I like that…" the man said while patting the bed.

"Divine Doctor Ba… I heard what he wanted to do and I don't care if it will hurt me… As long as the treatment is possible… then I will hand to you my life…" the man said with a strong determination.

The people in the room were silent and no one said a thing.

Divine Doctor Ba cupped his hand and nodded his head.

"Young Ja… Do you need anything?" Divine Doctor Ba asked with a smile.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback but nodded his head.

He then asked for some clean cloth, some cutting tools, and some herbs. He then began mixing some herbs and created a disinfectant to purify the air around them.

He is going to combine modern medical practices along with ancient ones. So he needed to prepare these things.

Soon the operating table is already prepared. His mind has absorbed the experience and knowledge of Shin Jiao when it comes to medicine, so he could already change his mindset when he needed it.

Divine Doctor Ba stood to the other side and the two of them looks at each other then as if with a tacit understanding began working.

Xin Ja explained the first procedure and Divine Doctor Ba expertly followed.

…

Three hours later…

Xin Ja and Divine Doctor Ba are seated on the sofa and have their eyes closed to regain their energy. It was a grueling procedure, but it ended up successful.

The first one to recover is Divine Doctor Ba and he quickly takes out from his pocket his own Mule that Xin Ja personally designed for him. The Mule (portal storage) of Divine Doctor Ba is bigger than the one sold in the auction by Xin Jong.

He then quickly takes out a black book and an inkstone. He did not waste his time and quickly recorded what happened in the operation that the two just did a while ago.

It really opened his eyes when he saw the process. It even needed for Master Wang to use his Ki sense to help the two. This is true when they began to operate the main body of the person. It was their first time to see someone handling the organs of a person while aligning them properly. And the handling of the blood is a bit tricky by Master Wang was able to handle it properly using runes.

That experience made Xin Ja realize the true capability of his master.

The experience made Divine Doctor Ba open his eyes to the new meaning of medicine.

Of course, they use potions to quickly recover the wounds and leave no traces of scar. And when the operation ended, the person was still asleep but his vitals are already stable.

After writing everything down, Divine Doctor Ba showed a faint smile on his face.

When Xin Ja opens his eyes, he has already regained enough strength and decided to go home.

"Master, I have to go home now…" he said with a smile.

"Thank you… Young Ja…"

"No… Thank you Master for showing something that I have not seen before…" Xin Ja said while cupping his hand.

Master Wang nodded his head in appreciation of this disciple.

…

The night when Xin Ja arrives home, the first one to greet him is the salamander who has been crawling all over the manor. The little dragon likes to play and it seems to have taken a liking to lurk everywhere in the manor.

"How are you, little fellow?" Xin Ja asked while scratching its tiny head.

Xuanlong half-closed her eyes as she seems to like what Xin Ja is doing.

"Did you do something naughty again?" Xin Ja asked with a smile.

The little fellow quickly jumps up and then shook its head. Then it began to crawl all over Xin Ja's body and even played with his hair.. The two ended up laughing together.
