Chapter 741 - Meeting a familiar face

Chapter 741

(Unedited)

…

The war has escalated and the human race is fighting back against the combined forces of the High Elves and the Zith'ra race. In the immortal land, the war against the humans and the combined race of high elves and Zith'ra are the fourth race wars that happened in the history of the immortal land.

However, this war is the most subtle and does not have any big effect on the entirety of the immortal land. Unlike the dragon war, millions of years ago which is said to shape the immortal land into what it is today.

At this time, Shin Jiao and two golden armored protectors are scouring the forest in finding more materials. The Osmond clan has fulfilled their promise and has given him a small village on the west side of the town of Gimli. The village is about 100 kilometers away from the town and is surrounded by lush forest and stiff cliffs and mountains.

It is a secluded town and has a low population of only about 300 peasants.

Two days ago, he arrives in the village and began working to improve its condition. Shin Jiao was given complete autonomy of the village as a payment for what he shared with the clan and to the entire human race.

With the basic knowledge he shared to them on crafting low to mid-level Dao artifacts, the Osmond clan was so grateful that they decided to just hand him a village.

Though it is the lowest type of village, Shin Jiao was still grateful. With it, he can start his own preparation, and then after doing that, he would just improve himself and reach the high lord level in fifty years of time.

His goal is to be able to ascend before the 100 year time that Susan Tang promised. And obtaining the village would be his first step.

"Master Ji, there! That's the location where the mysterious rock and crystals were found…" one of the gold armored protectors said.

These two gold armored protectors came from the town of Gimli. They are assigned to escort Shin Jiao to the village and ended up staying with him as they decided to help Shin Jiao as they are grateful for his help in their town.

"Alright… I think I got the right direction. Let's go back to the village…" Shin Jiao said after recording the coordinates of the cave.

"Master Ji, aren't we going to explore that cave?"

"Nah… I need to prepare something first. Let's just go back and I'll decide whether I would explore it or not."

"Master Ji, please be careful. I heard that inside the cave there might be a demon hiding. Though we don't know why it did not attack the village, you have to be careful…"

The three did not linger in the area and went back to the village.

When Shin Jiao arrives, the villagers were all astonished and immediately showed their excitement. They all wanted to advance and become servants, however, since the village is a bit far from the town of Gimli it is seldom visited by the silver armored protectors and thus the population of the town became stagnant.

For many years now, no new immortal has appeared in the town and the lives of the people in it became dull and monotonous. However, they did not sink in despair as they all still hope that there would come a time that they would be remembered and visited.

Many of them have tried to become a servant, but they did not successfully cultivate the universe's energy thus was returned to the town.

Many tried to practice what they have learned but until now, their improvement stagnated since a village could not provide them with the necessary insight and the pills to open their dantian and understand the Dao of the universe.

Now with the presence of three gold armored protectors, everyone hopes to be able to advance in their quest for power and ascension.

"Master you have returned…" the leader of the peasant village greeted as he saw Shin Jiao and the two arrived.

"Yes, I apologize for leaving immediately as soon as I arrive. But what you discovered is really crucial for my plans for this village." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When he arrives in the village, he heard this man they called chief talking about a dangerous cave with the presence of mysterious rocks and crystals. Many peasants have gone there and they were all sent back to the village as they resurrected and told them about what they have discovered.

Mysterious stones and crystals which is abundant in quantity, and that can be found in a cave due south from the village, that is the reason why Shin Jiao became curious and left immediately. With the materials, he would be able to turn this small village into a village inside a town.

He would create a place for his friends and family, a direct path when they reached the true nascent body cultivation level.

After settling his business with the town, he and the two gold armored protectors went back to the town of Gimli.

As soon as they reached the town, Shin Jiao saw a large flying airship hovering above the town hall.

"Oh, the cargo shipment has arrived at last…" one of the gold armored protectors beside him said with a smile.

Shin Jiao knew what he meant. This is because he is familiar with the insignia of the airship and where it came from.

It was the first town that he came into when he arrived in the immortal land, the town of Vitol.

As the three arrived as the gate of the town, they alighted from their flying swords.

Flying weapons has already begun spreading around the Osmond clan ever since Shin Jiao shared the processing and production of such an artifact.

Since it is easier, low level, and not that hard to produce, it began to be popular amongst the gold armored and a few silver armored protectors.

As the three enter the town, Shin Jiao directly went to the market while the two went back to their post.

"I need to buy some herbs… it is easier here than to search the forest…" Shin Jiao muttered as he began to go around the street market of the town.

Not long later, he saw a few stalks of silver grass and other materials needed to create the energy establishment pills and energy foundation pills. Those are the pills he needed so that those in his peasant village would be able to increase their ability.

After buying a large amount of those basic herbs, Shin Jiao suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

"Frances Hill?" he muttered as he followed the figure of a young man.

"Did he become an embryonic immortal?" he thought as he could sense that Frances Jill's aura has become different from before.

Unlike embryonic immortal, Shin Jiao who is a demi-god still has red blood combined with golden blood in his veins. And his aura still has a tinge trace of his old cultivation energy. And when he first met Frances Jill in the peasant village he first came into, they both have the same physique and aura.

However, now, it seems that Frances Jill has become a full pledge embryonic immortal and has reached level 70, and is wearing a piece of silver armor.

"You guys have completed the delivery, right?" Frances Jill said as he meets up with a group of people wearing silver armor.

"Yes, chief… We are done with the mission."

"Alright, let's take a rest in this town and head back to Omin city tomorrow. We've been flying for months, I think we can at least have fun for just a day or two…" Frances said with a smile.

"Haha… Chief, you're the best!"

"Yeah, thank you chief!"

"Alright, we will meet at the town's hall by daybreak tomorrow, be on time, okay?"

"Yes, chief!"

The rest of his crew replied with a happy smile on their faces. Then they all dispersed and went on their own, some paired with their friends, while others just went alone.

"I see that you have become a chief now…" suddenly a voice said behind Frances Jill.

This made the expression of Frances Jill changes. He did not feel anyone behind him a while ago and this made him feel a bit vigilant.

As he turns around, his facial expression changes, upon seeing the source of that voice.

"You… Shin… Brother Shin… You… you're here… How?" Frances Jill could not contain his emotion as he suddenly grabbed Shin Jiao's shoulders.

When the news of Shin Jiao's kidnapping reached their ears, the entire workshop in the new building in Vitol town was filled with grief and indignation. They could not believe that their mentor and friend were taken from them.

Until now, though the workshop has grown and is now providing the whole human race with the ability to fight back against the enemy with the use of energy weapons. They are still hoping that Shin Jiao would return and teach them how to advance further.

But because of the war, their focus was shifted but still, a few of them hoped that he would be able to return, and one of them is Frances Jill.

Frances has considered Shin Jiao as his brother and a mentor. And seeing him right now made the young man's emotion burst as he suddenly found himself feeling a bit teary.

"Hey… hey… why would a grown man like you cry?" Shin Jiao said with a chuckle.

"Brother… you…"

The two patted each other's shoulder and walked towards a restaurant. They have a lot of things to discuss and a lot of catching up to do.
