The Geared Immortal

Chapter 680

(Unedited)

…

Vitol town has started to look different in every aspect as many servants have been promoted so far and the clan lord didn't have to limit the pills in their inventory.

Although only a month has passed, many have already grasped the importance of a particular new building in town. That building is called the Vitol town alchemy school.

With the materials easily provided for him, Shin Jiao was able to create a universal teaching pattern using simple technology. Like the overhead projector.

And using by crafting a simple printing machine he is able to make standardized books for the students who are learning basic alchemy in his class. He was also able to obtain data from the clan lords about the basic herbs and plants in the immortal land which he has never encountered before.

Along with the help from the silver and golden armored protectors, Shin Jiao was able to obtain samples of those plants and herbs for more detailed analysis.

And throughout this time, he busied himself in teaching, researching, and making stuff which is helpful for his future plans.

It was one morning when the local clan lords have conveyed a meeting.

In the large hall, many white-gowned and robed people are busily talking to each other while waiting for the meeting to start.

"I didn't expect that it is already that time… another year has passed…"

"Will we place last again this year? I hope not."

"Well, the protectors have been facing a lot of fighting this year because of the material research. I hope that it was a great help to them."

"If we are last again this year then…"

"Che, you worry too much. Did you forget? We have already fixed that problem. Hehe…"

As the clan lord talked to each other two figures suddenly walked inside the hall followed by three different clothe individuals. One of them wore a blue cultivator's robe, then one looks like a monk, and the other one wore a full red armor with an intricate design.

Jinga Vin walked in the middle of the group and introduced the visitors.

"Clan lords, these are our visitors and representative from the main clans. These esteemed guests are High Lord Gera Vin, High Lord Nun Biyu Long, and High Lord Anzhelika Osmond." Jinga Vin introduces the three with his usual frosty face.

The three individuals just nodded their heads to greet the other lords in the hall.

"We have heard a lot of wonderful things about this town. So far I heard that you have the highest number of servants near the city of Ta'al. This is really wonderful news." Gera Vin said with a warm smile on his face.

Everyone just showed a faint smile on their faces. Although it is not a secret, yet everyone lords in the town has already promised not to deliver this news to their clans. This is because they are afraid that the clan high lords in the city would take interest in Shin Jiao and take him from the town. So they did not spread this to the outside world.

"We are just lucky, high lords…" Aiya Wine replied courteously.

The tall fully armored person suddenly removes the full helmet and exposes her red and white long hair and the beautiful face underneath.

"Lucky is the right word…" she said with a cunning smile on her beautiful face.

Hearing her words and seeing her reaction, the local clan lords around the hall were all silent. Although they did not have to keep everything a secret, yet they did not want their one month progress to be hindered by the nearest city and especially the clans.

"Why be gloomy… We are not here to do anything but to observe. The clans have already known what has happened and just wanted to see the progress as this has not been done or happened for millions of years. Immortals are rare and exceptional beings, and to have them grow is the main goal of the clans." The nun, Biyu Long suddenly said.

As everyone heard this, they all seem to feel that a prickly thorn was suddenly removed from their bodies.

That day, the local clan lords lead the three towards the school that the clan lords and Shin Jiao agreed upon to establish.

Inside a large hall, there are hundreds of servants and some are even silver armored protectors which are seated while looking at the white wall while looking at the black and white picture and listening to a person explaining on the podium.

It was like a college class on earth and Shin Jiao patiently explains or would sometimes let a student explain what is shown.

Shin Jiao has already noticed the small crowd who has quietly entered the classroom hall.

"Alright… that's it for the herbs that we will use today. We will now proceed with the actual practice. I will give you an hour to determine the right process of refining according to the theory presented. Proceed to the laboratory hall." Shin Jiao said as he turns off the overhead projector.

As everyone kept their things and walks out of the classroom hall towards the laboratory hall, everyone was discussing what they have just learned.

The clan lords and their guests approached Shin Jiao at this time.

"High lords, this is Shin Jiao. He is the one who is responsible for teaching basic level alchemy to many of the interested servants in the town." Aiya Wine introduced.

Shin Jiao cupped his hands in greetings. The three also greeted him their own way.

"You… you are still a peasant, right?" Gera Vin said with a frown.

Shin Jiao showed a sheepish smile.

"High Lord Gera, he is already a servant and is able to absorb the universe energy… however, his progress is a bit… slow." Jinga Vin explained while giving Shin Jiao a cold stare.

Although Jinga Vin was impressed with the work that Shin Jiao has done, he is discontented because he considered him as weak.

"Sigh… the Dao is a mysterious force. I guess this young immortal could follow the Dao of alchemy. This way your progress might be slow, but it would be steady." Nun Biyu Long said with a tone of admonition and advice.

"Well, I guess… that would be my path in the future. This humble one thanks to the High lord for the advice."

Satisfied with the young immortal's reply, the rest nodded their heads.

The group then proceeds to the laboratory for further observation.

"Everyone, before we start, we have three special guests for today. They are High Lord from Ta'al city. They are here to observe you guys." Shin Jiao suddenly introduced while gesturing to the side.

When everyone saw the local clan lords and the three individuals, their hearts were filled with complicated emotions, shock, a bit of expectation, and nervousness. They didn't know if they would fail to concoct the pill or if they are successful.

However, they wanted to show off their skill. Although they are under a contract, if they truly have talent, then they might be able to rise up and go to the city. That way their future accomplishment would be higher.

"Alright, everyone you have an hour. Begin…" Shin Jiao calmly said as he presses the alarm clock on the table.

Those three showed a faint change in their eyes but controlled it upon seeing that small thing. The clan lords concentrated on the hundred-plus students which are already choosing the herbs and some are already refining.

"Lord Jinga… the pill they are making is…" Gera Vin who is standing next to Jinga Vin asked in a hushed tone.

"Ah… we asked Shin Jiao to analyze the energy foundation pill for the servants to be able to breakthrough to silver armor protector, a week ago. And after this is the first trial."

"Was he able to make one with his lower level?"

"No, it was Aiya Wine who made the pill according to his instructions."

Upon hearing the words from Jinga Vin, Gera Vin along with the two beside him showed changes in their eyes. They subconsciously took a glance at the young man who seems to look like a peasant. If his understanding of alchemy is that high, then what if…

The three then looks at each other and decided to keep this thing a secret. If those haughty alchemists would get a hold of this information, then they would lose a very precious asset. The three seem to have a tacit understanding of what to do next.

"We should keep this a secret from the clans. And tell these local clan lords to keep everything a secret first. Let, the alchemist in this town grow, then we could harvest the benefits afterward." Anzhelika Osmond on the side suddenly sent a mental message to the two.

"I agree with this. We can't have those greedy alchemists that young man. We should wait until he grows strong before we show him."

"How about the upcoming contest?"

"Well, that's a fighting contest. We can just secretly add some resources to this town. They didn't need any pills as of now. We can just provide them with the recipe and the materials. Then secretly ship them to the city."

As the three planned secretly, the students have already reached the point of concocting. However, many have failed their refinement and now only twelve have reached the point of concocting the pills.

Not long later, a young woman wearing clothes for the silver armor protector walked in front of Shin Jiao.

The eyes of the clan lord and the three guests shifted towards her direction and the small box in her hands.

"Ah… Miss Laura… first as usual. You've really improved faster than I thought." Shin Jiao said with a smile and a hint of admiration in his tone.

"Teacher Shin, this is because of you. Here are my pills." She said as she handed the box with the temperature still a bit hot.

"Hmm… Let see how many pills this time."

When the three High lords heard his words, they showed a confused look on their faces. How many pills? They knew that in pill concocting the result would only be either 1 or two pills. If the alchemist is lucky, then there might be a third one.

But that is only if the alchemist is able to use the domain already.

So this made the three very interested as their neck craned towards the box.

When Shin Jiao opened the wooden box in his hands, the three High Lords almost have their eyes pop from their sockets in shock.
