The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1316

…

Xin Ja was dumbfounded upon hearing that he is not in the kingdom of Jimal, but instead in a small kingdom near the empire of Gong. The Empire of Gong is an empire that has many kingdoms under its rule.

The kingdom of Jimal and the kingdom of Radong are both small kingdoms that are under the great empire of Gong.

As Xin Ja realized this he was dumbfounded and is now curious about what truly happened when he was teleported back to the other side of the planet.

Two days later…

Xin Ja is now able to move and because he is now able to do so, he was… thrown outside and walked with the other servants of the young miss and the young master of the An clan.

Although his bones are still aching, he could not help but lament the medicine that this kingdom is still using.

According to his knowledge, the production of pills should have already been widespread throughout the empire. But to his surprise, these people are still using ground herbs and decoction for medicine. They are a little bit backward when it comes to medicine.

But he also could not deny the skill of that old woman they are calling Auntie Jing.

She truly has top-notch medical skills. Plus to his surprise, the old woman is actually a level 32 Ki-Champion. He found this out while listening to the conversation of the trio in the carriage.

"Hey… How are you? Are you feeling fine now?" a middle-aged man suddenly approaches Xin Ja.

Xin Ja looks at the middle-aged man who is wearing hemp clothing and nodded his head.

"Really? But you\'re still walking a bit weirdly… Anyway, there are no free meals here, so if you want to travel with us you have to help…" he suddenly said as he removes one of the bags he is carrying and handed it to Xin Ja.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback but did not reject the bag.

As soon as he has his hand on the bag, he suddenly could feel a slight heavy pressure coming from the bag. Then… as if the bone in his hand began creaking, he could not help but groan.

However, Xin Ja did not let go of the bag and grit his teeth as he held on to it.

This time, he stopped walking as he forces himself to put the bag on his back. Those that saw this had smirks on their faces while others showed pity for Xin Ja.

Xin Ja is not that tall and only has an average height. In fact, he looks a bit small for a normal young man. So seeing him suffer like this made some of those maids walking by the side of the carriage feel a hint of pity towards him.

As Xin Ja puts the bag on his back, he could almost hear his bones creaking. Those bones that have been mended by the strange medical arts of the old woman seem to once again form a crack.

One of the maids suddenly walked beside Xin Ja and then gave him a medicinal decoction.

"Just bear with it… This is for your own good…" she whispered after taking the bowl after Xin Ja finished drinking the medicine.

Suddenly, his Unique Vision displayed something below his sight.

\'Warning… A small trace of venom was detected. Bone density is being mended… Will now experience pain in 3… 2… 1…\'

Xin Ja\'s eyes went wide, but before he could react, his body suddenly ached all over. His face reddened as he wanted to scream. However, he did not do so as he grits his teeth through the ordeal.

Seeing the squirming figure of Xin Ja who has stopped, the expression of the old woman showed a smile on her face.

"Not bad… not bad at all… Maybe he could be of use." She muttered as she lifted her hand and a strange piece of a hard object on the side of a thumb appear.

She could feel the dense energy from that object and knew that it belongs to a part of a beast\'s body that the young man has fought before.

But she could not determine what kind of beast was it.

….

It was already nighttime when the caravan stopped and began to pitch their tents on the roadside.

Not long later, the group saw the bandage-wrapped person walking toward them. His gait is sluggish and his body has some blood seeping from the bandages.

It was Xin Ja. He finally arrives at the camp of the group as he forces himself to walk the distance under such pain.

But for some reason, he did not want to give up. He walks and walks until he reached the camp. The reason for this is because the mending of his muscles and bones accelerates as that small spark suddenly feels that his body is being put into a strenuous ordeal.

That small spark quickly uses its flame to mend the broken muscles and creaking bones in his body. Xin Ja could not help but feel complicated when he saw this.

But he also feels elated because it seems that his wounds are actually healing at a faster rate.

Plus the flame and the strain on his body are actually tempering his physique making him stronger and sturdier. Every strand of muscle and every piece of bone that is being severed and cut and then mended is making his body tougher.

As he walked to the side, he carefully puts the bag down and then leaned on the tree. He slowly slid down until he is now sitting on the ground.

Xin Ja could not help but close his eyes and began to circulate the chaotic Ki in the air and guide them in his body. By doing so, he is able to quickly mend the wounds.

But he dare not direct them to his dantian but instead feed the purified chaotic Ki to the small flame inside his body.

When it felt the energy coming towards it... the little flame actually excitedly began to devour it.

Xin Ja could not help but show a faint smile as he could feel the happiness of that little thing in his body.

He suddenly could feel that something is wrong when that little fellow stop absorbing and suddenly stopped moving.

"What is happening?" he thought.

"Is it sleeping?"

Xin Ja did not bother with the little guy and just open his eyes.

He noticed the familiar maid walking toward him.

"Here… take this." She said as she handed him a bowl of gruel.

The bowl does not have any meat or anything… it just contains traces of wheat floating inside. He tried to detect any traces of Ki, but he was disappointed to feel none.

In short, this thing is just water and wheat.

Xin Ja did not complain and just drinks the bowl.

The maid sits beside Xin Ja and showed a faint smile on her face.

"How did you end up in this place?" she suddenly asked.

"I… I don\'t know either. I just woke up and found myself inside the carriage of the young miss and young master…" Xin Ja replied with a confused expression.

"So you forgot about anything?"

"No… I did not mean that. The last thing I remember is that I was battling a demon… a very strong demon. Then when I killed it, I was heavily wounded… But the next thing I know is that I am already here in this place."

"Then where are you from?"

"The Jimal kingdom…"

When the young maid heard this, her expression showed a surprise.

"Are… Are you sure? The Jimal kingdom is thousands of kilometers away from our Radong kingdom… How…"

"That I don\'t know…"

"Are you a soldier?" she asked.

Xin Ja looks at her with confusion.

​ "Hehe… I heard that soldiers in the Jimal kingdom wear some weird clothing. And they also ride those giant golems…"

"Ah, you mean the Mecha?"

"Yes… yes… Mecha."

"No, I\'m just a lowly alchemist… I was trying to find an herb and that is when I met that monster."

"Oh… I see…" the maid nodded in acknowledgment.

"So, you also know medicine then?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two and the old woman walked out from behind the two.

"Ah! This lowly maid greets the master…" the maid suddenly bowed.

"You can go now… I\'ll talk to him." the old lady said while waving her hand.

"Yes… yes…" the maid then runs back to the tent of her master.

"Do you know how to make pills?" suddenly the old woman asked.

"Umm… Pills are widespread, but the knowledge seems to have been blocked. Only those that are members of the alchemist association have that knowledge."

"Hmm… Well, anyway… I\'m a physician. Since you came from the Jimal kingdom… Umm… Hey, do you know the name… Doctor Shin?" the old woman suddenly asked with great expectation and excitement in her eyes.

Xin Ja could tell that she seem to be very enthusiastic about asking such a question. She is like a fangirl trying to get a piece of information from her idol.

Xin Ja could not help but looks at her and then show a faint smile on his face.

How could he have known that this… old woman… is actually one of his fans?
