The Geared Immortal

1371 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 121

Chapter 1371

…

A middle-aged man in his 50s walked towards the front and greeted the old patriarch of the An Clan.

"The Mu Clan congratulates the old patriarch of the An Clan for the speedy recovery. It seems that the clan has a fortuitous encounter that made the old patriarch be healthy once again…" the patriarch of the Mu clan said with a smile.

Hidden behind his smile and his words are riddled with suspicious words that seem to tell everyone that the clan is hiding something from them.

The patriarch of the An Clan frowned slightly when he heard this. But he did not say anything and just showed a faint smile on his face.

Meanwhile, the old patriarch showed a surprised expression and then exclaimed.

"Eh?! Why did you know that I have a fortuitous encounter? Haha… I truly gifted medical master has currently visited the manor and he diagnosed my disease and cured me a few days ago… It was truly a fortuitous encounter… Hahaha…" the old patriarch laughed heartily.

It was as if he did not know the scheming look in the eyes of the people around them.

The group of family leaders of every clan and family in the city that are seated at the party frowned when they heard his words.

They are feeling a bit confused as to who that skilled medical master is.

Standing on the side, Xin Ja could not help but look at the old patriarch while shaking his head. Although he knew that the man will not put him in trouble, he also did not know what the man is thinking.

"What do you mean by this?" the Mu Clan patriarch asked with a suspicious tone.

"You've heard the news of our clan manor being attacked, right?"

The people nodded as they heard that someone actually attacked the An Clan. They all suspected that this is because of the abode's secret.

But then they heard that nothing happened after that and that the clan actually invited and even welcomed a person.

This confuses the other clans and families more.

But the old patriarch of the An Clan did not have the thought of explaining further. So he smiled and then waves his hand.

"I am not in the liberty to divulge his name or who he is… It was fate that we got a connection and it was fate that brought him to my clan. I will not go against fate…" he said with while waving his hand.

The other clans and families did not want to pursue this any longer as they feel that it would be a great disrespect if they would further ask about the issue.

And so the festivity continues until the night and the rest of the families left the An Clan manor.

The next day…

A shocking piece of news was revealed in public which made everyone feel a bit dumbfounded.

This is because the An Clan finally revealed that they have obtained the Shen Abode's secrets and is willing to share them with everyone.

This piece of news baffled everyone especially the great families and clans in the city.

They were trying to sound it out last night but did not discover anything even after spreading their forces in the manor.

But who would have known that the An Clan would actually spread this throughout the city?

The plan of the An Clan is not of Xin Ja's concern anymore as he and the Ao family members went back to the flying ship.

They are now scheduled to depart to the capital of Radong Kingdom, the Black Wing City.

,m While inside his cabin in the flying transport, Xin Ja feels a bit excited as he takes out his haul on this trip.

He suddenly saw a heart-shaped stone and stopped as he feels a hint of nostalgia in his heart.

He has been keeping his feeling for a while now because he did not know if he could take the news about home. He knew that he has caused great distress to the Jimal kingdom and that some of the princes are targeting him.

He is also worried about Rou Chenchen but did not want to distract his thought from his goal.

He has sent her a few letters already through the shared Mule, but he did not get any reply as she has not accessed the Mule after such a long time.

This distracting thought would truly affect him, so he did not want to think about it for now.

He trusted her and knew that she will be fine with the Alchemy Association backing her up.

He shook his head in contemplation and then looks at the pile of ingredients on the table.

"Soon, my dantian would be healed and I have to go back to the other side… I still have my mission." He thought.

This mission of his is something that he has inherited from his past self. And this mission is of great importance in saving this world which he knew is of great importance.

Right now, the shadow beings are slowly invading the other side of this planet.

And for some unknown reason, they have not started their move on this side. He has seen a Shadow Being aura in a person before but it did not make any suspicious action, so he did not do anything about it.

Plus that woman is only an acquaintance whom he did not even personally know.

As he contemplated, he quickly went back to his work and crafted gears that he would need to use on the other side as he needed to prepare for the worst.

2 days later…

Xin Ja stopped his work and then began refining the herbs he has obtained from the An Clan.

The herbs are high level, so he did not want to waste this opportunity to practice his refining skills.

Suddenly, he felt something strange while refining some of the herbs.

When he closes his eyes, he was shocked to learn that his dantian has already been healed and the little chick in his dantian has already formed a shape of a small bird with a beautiful golden tail.

"You have finally healed my dantian…" he muttered while his will caressed the head of the little bird.

The small bird, which now looks like a tiny phoenix in the legend, closes its eyes as it felt elated while being petted on its head.

He played with it for a while and then went back to his work.

He suddenly feels a slight surge in his dantian as the small thing went out and perched on his shoulder.

Although the body of the little bird is made of flame it did not burn Xin Ja in any way.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" he asked with a smile.

The little thing did not reply and just looks at his chest with a strange expression on its eyes.

It tilted its head back and forth and then leaned forward as if trying to determine to look at something in Xin Ja's chest.

Xin Ja seems to realize what it is looking at and then takes out the ring on his necklace.

When the little bird saw the ring, it curiously pecks at it.

Then it excitedly dances on Xin Ja's shoulder.

Xin Ja frowned in confusion then realized that the little bird might have detected something in the ring.

He has his suspicion so he takes out the black pearl.

When the little phoenix saw the black pearl, its eyes quickly went wide in excitement.

Without hesitation, it suddenly began to take in a large amount of air in its body.

Then the black pearl was suddenly sucked into the little phoenix's small body.

"What the heck?!" Xin Ja almost cursed out loud.

But what happened next made him dumbfounded.

This is because the little phoenix suddenly grew a bit and looks a bit like a matured phoenix as it spreads its wings in the air.

Then Xin Ja saw the black pearl inside its now semitransparent body spinning rapidly.

Then the black pearl slowly turned golden as the heat energy from the phoenix enters its core.

Then he saw a small black figure being kicked out of the orb and when it fall to the side of the room that black figure slowly grew into a size of a horse.

This startled Xin Ja a bit as he knew of Xuanlong's predicament in the battle last time.

But judging from the black scales and body of the still sleeping Xuanlong, she has already been healed.

Suddenly, Xuanlong's long eyelashes flickered and she opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was the blurry figure of Xin Ja standing in front of her. When she was able to regain her vision, she almost jumps in delight as she could feel her body recovering. She did not know how long she was inside the black pearl, but she has grown helpless as time went by.

She knew that it would truly take her long before she could recover her wounds.

But now, she knew that she did not only recover but there are traces of mutation in her body which she is confident to say that it made her become stronger than she was before.

Without hesitation, she stood up and exclaimed.

"Master!" this then startled her as she looks at Xin Ja with disbelief.

Xin Ja is also looking at her with disbelief in his eyes.
