The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1113

(Unedited)

…

"This potion has the effect of 3 elements combined… Fire, Earth, and wind… it is a powerful potion that might boost one\'s strength in battle. However, this potion is not something that one would ingest to their body." Xin Ja explained.

When Teacher Ma heard this he immediately frowns… then sneers at Xin Ja.

"Haha… I knew that you are a fraud… What do you mean not ingest? Fool! This is a physical booster and the last recourse potion. It is called the Lava Strength potion. Che... Kids like you are all talk… I knew from the start that you\'re just some fraud…" Teacher Ma scowls.

But Xin Ja looks at him like he was some idiot with his mouth agape. Then he looks at the potion and then back at Teacher Ma.

"Have… have you ever drink this potion before?" Xin Ja asked with doubt in his eyes.

"Drink? Do you think I am crazy? Only those that are about to die would drink this to boost their final chance to victory in a fight!... You ignorant little brat!" Teacher Ma shouted in annoyance.

"Pfft…" Xin Ja could not help but laugh which gained the confusion of everyone in the room.

"Why are you laughing Young Ja?" Master Lang asked with a smile.

"Yeah… Are you mocking me little brat!" Teacher Ma said with an annoyed expression.

He thought that he has already wasted his time in this place and did not believe that the brat is some genius or whatnot. In his own mind, he is sneering and scowling at Master Lang for being tricked by a mere brat.

"No… I\'m sorry… But I think Teacher Ma… made a mistake." Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Mistake! How dare you?!" shouted Teacher Ma as he was about to take a step forward.

"A teacher needs to listen sometimes… Teacher Ma." A heavy pressure suddenly came down to Teacher Ma before he could make his move.

That pressure almost made his knees buckle.

As a 12th level Ki Adept, Master Lang Waixang could already be considered as one of the most powerful experts in the town of Ogden. So how could a mere 5th level Ki fighter like Teacher Ma could handle his pressure alone?

"Continue…" Master Lang said while looking at Xin Ja.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to open the lid of the potion and then quickly pour it into the beaker. Then he takes an already prepared herb on the side and tried to weigh it in his hand. When he seems to be satisfied with the weight, he then began to heat it up using the fire.

Xin Ja used an advanced technique to separate the essence of the herb and the residue, then separate them. He then put the beaker with the potion on top of the fire. When he did this all the alchemists in the room almost wanted to stop him.

Teacher Ma\'s face immediately turned white as he immediately feels fear in his heart.

"This potion will explode… Let\'s run out of the room now!" Teacher Ma shouted.

But Master Lang did not move and continued observing. Then they saw the powerful mixture of energy coming from the potion begin to churn in agitation.

"Damn it!" everyone shouted in their minds as they crushed their defensive talismans.

Then suddenly, Xin Ja quickly pours the essence on the roiling mixture in the beaker.

Tisss!!!

As if something hot meeting something cold, the hissing sound reverberated through the air. Then the color of the potion inside the beaker suddenly turned dark purple and the concoction subsided. Xin Ja turn the hourglass over and quickly listed the right timing on a paper.

"Now you can drink the potion without worrying about the side effects due to the failure of its concoction…" he said while pouring the potion in the beaker into an empty bottle.

"This is… marvelous… You are able to change a century-old potion recipe just like that…" Master Lang muttered as he grabs the potion and slowly checked it.

"Its effect?" he asked while scrutinizing the potion.

"That same as the… Lava Strength potion…" Xin Ja answered.

Master Lang removed the cork on the potion and quickly sniffed it. Everyone is now curious about what the result is… is it successfully concocted or a failure?

To everyone\'s amazement and disbelief, Master Lang suddenly drinks the whole potion in one go.

Wheng!!!

A strange power immediately emanates from Master Lang\'s body and then everyone feels the strong pressure surging out of his frail old body.

The people in the room immediately prostrate and they were all burdened by the pressure. Then they heard from the other classrooms some gasping sound which made them realize that the others outside were affected by the strong aura.

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, the figure of Master Lang jumps out of the window and darted outside of the town.

Everyone was dumbfounded in the school and did not know what is happening. At this moment, the teachers and staff of the academy are already inside the potion room.

"What is happening?" a middle-aged-looking man asked.

The man seems to be a leader in the academy as many teachers bow their heads when he enters the scene.

At this time, Teacher Ran who was one of the teachers who assisted Xin Ja began explaining to him the things that has happened.

After hearing the explanation the middle-aged man who they called Master Qing has a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"That old fool… is he going crazy? His mind is too focused on potions that it has turned him crazy…" Master Qing said while shaking his head.

He then turns his eyes on Xin Ja who is quietly standing on one side.

"What did you do to the potion?" he asked with a doubtful gaze.

How could a mere teenage boy successfully modify a potion recipe that has existed for centuries? This is far too inconceivable.

So he doubts Xin Ja\'s background and his origin.

"I… I just amended the concoction mistake that…" Xin Ja explained shyly because there are far too many eyes glued at him at this time.

But before he could explain himself, his berating tone interrupted him.

"Mistake? Are you telling me that I made a mistake? I have been brewing that potion since I learned it in the alchemist association. Every other 4th level alchemist knows how to brew that potion… and you say that it was a mistake? How dare you? Are you challenging the knowledge of the entire alchemist association?" Teacher Ma shouted in anger.

Those who heard this shifted their gaze at Xin Ja and viewed him with a hint of hostility and mocking.

"Teacher Ma… Shut up!" Master Qing suddenly shouted as he glared at Teacher Ma.

Master Qing is not assigned to the alchemy department but the internal department of the academy. He is in charge of the internal issues that would arise from different departments. It was just that at this time he is going around checking the academy and has noticed the strong aura which leads him to direction investigation.

He has heard of this Teacher Ma and does not have a good impression of the proud teacher. So he did not want to hear something from the guy.

Instead, he is curious about the boy who is able to modify a potion recipe on the go. That is truly something amazing and he did not want to listen to the ramblings of the likes of Teacher Ma.

"Continue young lad…" he said.

At this time, Xin Ja nodded his head but did not look up instead he began explaining things while looking down. Although it is a bit disrespectful, yet he did not have a choice at this time, because he feel uncomfortable looking at the judgmental eyes of the people around him.

While explaining, the alchemist around him began to show disbelief in their eyes and began to murmur one with another. They could not believe such a theory. \'It was all in the child\'s imagination\', they say. But they have forgotten that it actually works.

"So that is the reason why I said that in concocting the potion there was a mistake that happened. If the amount of material used and the timing is correct, then the… Ummm… Lava… Strength potion?... It should have the effect of doubling one\'s capability and igniting one\'s potential in just one bottle… and it could be ingested when trying to break through or in a dangerous situation… Not when someone is about to die and needed a burst of strength for one last fight…" Xin Ja explained.

When the people around him hear his words, their eyes showed disbelief. They could believe such words from a mere 1st-year student.

"No… that\'s… impossible!" shouted one teacher.

"Yes… it\'s not possible that the Lava strength potion could do such a thing. It was created in the last war several hundreds of years ago against the barbarians of the south… It was created as a suicide option for the troops… Not… not to ignite one\'s potential or breakthroughs… This is not possible." Someone added.

"And yet… What the child did works…" suddenly a familiar voice interrupted everyone from out of the window.

An old man then jumps back inside the potion room.

Everyone is now looking at Master Lang with incredulous expressions on their faces.
