The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1114

(Unedited)

…

When Master Lang appears before everyone they were all shocked. Master Lang might be a powerful old man, but he is… an old man. His vitality is almost waning as he is already 120 years old. However, because of his Ki cultivation level, he is able to hold on to his dear life.

He has already known that the 12th level is his final journey in his life until he died. And he has already accepted this and has enjoyed his life ever since in creating potions.

But who would have known that in just one day, he was able to break through his bottleneck? From the first time he has smelled that aroma inside the potion, he already knew of its capability. So without hesitation, he quickly drinks it without thinking twice.

He did not know why, but having an additional 10 or 20 years of his life is something that he suddenly wanted.

And to his surprise, his meridians, veins, and vitality which are already waning suddenly came to life in that instant.

So this is the reason why he ran out of the town. He did not want to affect anyone because of the rampaging Ki in his body as he breaks through to the 13th level.

After returning he felt really happy and his body feels really light.

He looks at the young boy who is as timid as always and showed a faint smile on his face.

"The face of the alchemist association will surely change with this child… Haha…" he chuckled while walking to the crowd.

"Ma… Master Lang… You… you\'ve broken through…" Master Qing said with disbelief in his eyes.

"Haha… Yes… and what the lad said is true. Now those alchemy teachers in here… listen well… from this time forth we will seal this information outside…" he said then looks at Xin Ja.

"Young man… would it be alright if we study the modified version of the Lava Strength potion recipe that you modified… I will make sure that you are well compensated…" Master Lang said while patting Xin Ja\'s shoulder.

"Ahh… Yea… Yes… Yes, Master Lang. It\'s just a minor change… You do not have to give me anything about this…" Xin Ja said.

In fact, he actually did not know if what he did is right or wrong. But according to his analysis and the way his unique vision has taught him. Adding the ingredient and modifying its heating process would produce such a result. It is just a matter of quick analysis and thinking.

But what Xin Ja did not know is that his mind now works differently than the people in this world. Because his mind has been influenced by Shin Jiao\'s way of thinking and analysis process because of their learning interaction.

At this time, Teacher Ma is showing disbelief in his eyes and seething hatred. He feels that his face is burning hot because of the constant face slapping he just receives from a mere brat.

Even the masters are protecting the brat which made him more furious than ever. He then glared at Xin Ja and bore this in his heart.

"You might have won this time… brat… But I will win the next battle…" he thought while gritting his teeth.

…

With permission from Xin Ja, the entire procedure and concoction process was written in detail. And the experimentation began after that. Many teachers wanted to stay, but since they have classes they begrudgingly left the potion room.

Only Xin Ja, Master Lang, and a few others were left inside.

Xin Ja assisted them and told them about the necessity of timing and proper temperature. As long-time alchemists, the people inside the room quickly pick it up.

It did not take long before Master Lang was able to replicate the Lava Strength potion.

"Now this… this is doable by any alchemist… Hahaha… Hahahahaha…" Master Lang laughed joyfully while patting Xin Ja\'s shoulders.

"Thank you… I will bring the compensation for this contribution that you gave to the alchemist association… This will be huge… Hahaha…"

"Umm… Master Lang… I think it is better if we keep the child from the prying eyes of the public. It would be hard to… protect him." Teacher Ran suddenly said while looking with a worried expression at Xin Ja.

"Hmm… I agree… He is far too young to face those old crows… Xin Ja, lad… about the potion…"

"Master Lang, it would be better if you get the honor for this. Since you are giving me the compensation, then I would not dare to get the honor. Plus I do not want troublesome matters to get out of hand…" Xin Ja suddenly said.

"Haha… Well said… I promise you that this will be our secret…" Master Lang said.

Xin Ja left the potion room and went back to class.

…

Meanwhile, later that day, a huge storm erupted in the alchemist association.

The senior teachers from the Ogden academy actually discovered major changes to the known Lava Strength potion or soldiers called it Suicide Potion.

It was truly a shocking discovery that everyone could not believe.

But when Master Lang presented it, along with Teacher Ran, and Teacher Ma, the alchemist community could not help but believe.

Master Lang includes Teacher Ma in the presentation because he wanted that guy to take the brunt of the inquisition. This is a part of his punishment and also a way to thank him. In fact, if not for his haughtiness, how could that child Xin Ja change the potion?

Though he did the wrong thing, and yet it resulted in something else.

Teacher Ma helplessly followed the plan of the academy elder. Even though he is prideful, he is not a scoundrel. He knows his boundaries and he knows why the elder is doing this.

But that does not mean he did not hate Xin Ja. He still does, after all, he still needs to prove himself against the boy. This time, he would not underestimate his opponent as he already accepted that the lad it truly a genius alchemist.

…

The day ended, and Xin Ja was about to go home when someone appear out of nowhere and enters the classroom.

Xin Ja was called to the runemaster\'s faculty office.

He needed to cross an entire field just to arrive in the runemaster faculty.

Upon arriving, he noticed that in the field many students are gathering together. Each of them is discussing a lot of things and more especially about runes. It immediately piques his interest as he listens while walking and following the guide.

"Hahaha… I finally did it! I copied the barrier rune that is being used in the War Games! Hahaha…" a student suddenly laughed in excitement.

He then takes out a paper the width of a palm and the length of an arm then began writing on it.

It did not take long before he is able to finish writing then quickly checks his work. Many students began gathering around him and this include the guide of Xin Ja.

"Activate it, Brother Ting… Go!" an excited female student said.

"Yes… I want to see if you really are successful in copying it." another one chimed in.

Being a runemaster is one of the hardest professions. This is because runes do not accept mistakes. If one could not perfectly write the shape and proper measure of the rune, then it would not activate. The one that you\'ve written will only be words or drawings of some sort.

In making runes, one should know the right size, mathematical measurement of the rune for it to function properly. This is the reason why many runemasters are considered scholars or rather master scholars.

Because… any runemaster who can create a rune or a rune array, can be already considered as a highly knowledgeable person, in both arts and learning.

Focus, control, and clarity of mind are needed for one to be a runemaster.

And this is the reason why there not many students are on this campus.

The rune began to glow, and the paper began to emit strange Ki energy and aura.

"Yes… it works!" the student who created the rune shouted in glee.

But then before he could rejoice… something happened.

Boom!!!

A small explosion occurs turning the rune paper into a small floating ball of fire and black smoke covering the face of the once excited young man.

He was not able to move from his excited expression which is not covered in soot.

"Hahaha… I thought it was a success… Brother Ting, you\'ve celebrated too early…" someone jeered.

"This is just the beginning of our long year in the academy. I know that you can still get it to work…" someone pacified.

Ting Koming feel embarrassed and wanted to hide. He just wanted to show off in front of the beautiful female students, but he was instead embarrassed.

He wanted to vent his anger at this time. But could see no one as he is close to the people around him and somewhat knew their backgrounds.

But right at this moment, his eyes saw Xin Ja who is already turning around and was about to leave. What he saw irritates him as the boy is actually shaking his head. It was as if that young lad is insulting him and his ability.

How could Ting Koming stand the insult?
