The Geared Immortal

Chapter 720

(Unedited)

…

The path, the walls, the lights, everything is unique and never before seen in this world. In his 3,000 years of living in the immortal land, and added to the life he had on his home planet, Ryujin Osmond has seen a lot of things and learned many things.

But the scenery in front of him is a combination of those that he has seen in his life.

As a high lord with Dao affinity to almost all of the elements, Ryujin Osmond focuses more on controlling the elements and conjuring powerful spells that could topple mountains and over overturn seas. But his knowledge in crafting is mediocre or average at best.

So right now, the scene in front of him truly made him feel astounded.

It didn\'t take them long before arriving inside a vault with many different display cases.

As Ryujin enters, he could not sense anything inside. No powerful fluctuations could be felt from the items displayed inside those boxes in front of him.

"Are the thing in here…"

Shin Jiao sense the question that Ryujin wanted to ask and just showed a smile on his face.

"Those things inside are powerful artifacts. But the boxes restrain their aura and this vault also does that same. But once you walk out of this place, the heavens would detect its aura and it will trigger a lightning calamity." Shin Jiao explained while gesturing to one of the display counters.

"If you touch this… here, you can see the description of every item inside a particular box. But before we proceed with our business, I would like to talk to you about the exchange method we are going to have…"

Although Ryujin is already excited to see what is inside those transparent boxes, he did not lose his sensibility and nodded his head towards Shin Jiao.

"I will pay…"

In the middle, Shin Jiao cut of the high lord\'s words by raising his hand to stop Ryujin from talking.

"I will not be accepting Osmond credits. If you can pay me with energy core, then that would be great. If you can provide me with materials, then it would be better." Shin Jiao explained.

Hearing the words from the young man in front of him, Ryujin immediately knew that the shop is in need of more materials and energy cores. So he immediately thought that this trade would be interesting.

"Alright, what do you have a…" before Ryujin could finish his words Shin Jiao suddenly handed him a listing.

"You can choose one of these items for the number of materials listed in this parchment. If you can provide them, then we can exchange."

Ryujin is a bit annoyed at being interrupted, but he did not mind. Because in the corner of his eyes in one of the particular glass cases in a corner, he saw something. He just took the listing and walk towards that object. He didn\'t even bother with the young man as he walks towards that corner of the vault.

He stopped in front of a line of tall glass cases where many types of weapons could be seen. There are swords, daggers, spears, bows, and etc… different weapons that are exquisitely crafted.

With one gaze, he knew that these weapons contain unique features and elegance which he thought is worthy of his title as a high lord.

Ryujin stops in front of a sphere and carefully checked its craftsmanship. Though he wanted to take it out of the glass case, he controlled himself. He touches the black panel on the side and suddenly words appear on the surface of the glass.

"Shadow Wraith spear… abilities… enhancements… materials used…" Ryujin reads the description.

Yet the longer he reads, the more his heart could not stop from getting excited. The spear is something that he coveted, he truly wanted it. However, he stopped himself as there are more spears that are displayed.

He has already scanned the parchment listing and discovered that these items are truly pricy. The material that is listed on that paper and their amount are a bit hard to come by, but if he really wanted to, he could still obtain it with much effort though.

Shin Jiao on the other hand just walks to a corner where there are a tea table and some chairs. He sits down and then touches his earpiece.

"Send me some tea inside the vault…"

It took Ryujin some time in picking the weapon that he likes. He could not deny that those weapons inside those cases are truly exquisite. But out of all the spears inside those boxes two of them truly caught his eyes, the Lightning God Spear, and the Heavenly Sun Spear.

These two weapons could truly assimilate his ability and full potential on the battlefield. Though he is proficient with almost all the elements, he favors two elemental Dao in particular, lightning and heavenly flame.

And upon reading the description in those two spears he wanted to try them so that he could feel for himself his connection of those weapons.

"Young man… I would want to touch these two." Ryujin said while marking the parchment in his hand.

Shin Jiao smiled and walks towards the two spears, he waves his hand, and the array protecting the spears slowly faded. Ryujin\'s eyes went wide in disbelief upon realizing how many arrays are being deactivated right at that moment.

Soon, two exquisite spears lay on the table with the eyes of Ryujin Osmond glowing. He has already touched those two spears and knew in his heart that no matter which one of the two he chooses, he is compatible with them.

In fact, he knew that if he could have those two, his fighting prowess would skyrocket. He might even be able to fight against a late-stage high lord or a novice saint immortal if he has any of those two. With this prospect, he almost could not contain his excitement.

"Young lad, I will take these two…" he said decisively.

"Alright, we will finish this transaction outside. I will assist high lord in resisting against the heavenly punishment if ever any of them truly triggers one." Shin Jiao said politely.

After finishing the transaction, Shin Jiao and high lord Ryujin Osmond enter a teleportation pod.

Ryujin found himself in a tall mountain clearing not too far from the town.

"We can take out the item here…" Shin Jiao said as he opens one of the glass cases.

Upon doing so a powerful aura erupted from within and they feel a strong oppressive atmosphere. It was like the immortal land is reacting to the presence of the object.

Ryujin Osmond who has already felt the aura inside the vault seems to have realized something as the aura reacted to the atmosphere of the immortal land.

"This… this is a… a Holy Artifact… How?" Ryujin Osmond was really dumbfounded now.

In the whole of the human race, there are only three holy artifacts that are protected by the clans, the Vesatol, the All-seeing Eye, and the Ziaman Cloak. Now, these items were crafted by famous saint craftsmen that could only be used by a powerful and worthy individual in times of calamity.

Right now, the saint rulers are already discussing who would use those Holy artifacts to defend the human realm. But who would have known that in front of him, two such powerful items are at his fingertips?

Then suddenly, he remembers the number of items inside that vault, and his back was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat. Right now, he would not believe that this unassuming young man did not have any backing from any family.

He is now suspecting that a certain hidden powerful clan inside the vast human territory decided to lend the seven main clans a hand.

His expression now changes as he looks at the young man beside him.

Shin Jiao on the other hand did not bother with the changing expression of high lord Ryujin Osmond. His eyes are interested and his heart is excited to learn that the immortal land would not send tribulation lightning upon exposing the items he specially crafted.

It seems that the heavens would accept these things to appear in the immortal land.

After he takes out the other spear, Shin Jiao heaves a sigh of relief and then with a smile shifted his eyes to the high lord standing beside him.

"My lord, it\'s fine now…"

"What? Oh… I mean…" Ryujin suddenly stops as he contemplated.

"Young lad, I am a fair person. I may have my tricks and sometimes would do something underhanded to punish those which are deemed to be punished, but I am fair and just." Ryujin said with a righteous and majestic bearing.

"Young lad, do you know that in your hand, you hold hundreds of holy artifacts that could cause the whole human realm to be in chaos?" Ryujin Osmond said while shaking his head.

"I suggest that you do not sell those inside your vault to some random family. They would not be able to handle its protection… I will act as your agent, and I will help you get the right customer for the right artifact." Ryujin Osmond said with a smile.

"Senior… I…" Shin Jiao wanted to say something but Ryujin Cut him off.

"I know that you needed more materials, and I assure you that we can provide them. But since the war began, I will do my best to convince the other high lords and saint rulers and will not expose you and this… special shop of yours."

Hearing the words of High Lord Ryujin Osmond, Shin Jiao knew that those things which he deemed \'just special\' items because they touch on Dao laws could draw powerful beings towards him.

But he is not wrong in choosing the high lord. From the start, Shin Jiao already plans to expose those artifacts. And with Ryujin Osmond\'s virtuous temperament, he knew that his gamble was a success.

…

A high lord as his agent and a special shop as his means to provide him with move materials, Shin Jiao are contented with the result.

He is doing all of this for one reason, and one reason only.

While looking at the stars, Shin Jiao subconsciously touches the crystal pendant on his neck.

"It won\'t be long now my love… I will free you from her grasps and reunite your soul and your body. This I swear to you…" He muttered as a longing smile appears on his lips.

...

However, unknown to Shin Jiao, in the faraway places in each of the human clans and those other races, every powerful being that has reached the saint ruler power is now looking at the direction of the Osmond Clan.

The slight yet powerful ripple caused by those two holy artifacts has actually gained the attention of them all. And this is true, especially in the high elven race.

Inside a particular dungeon workshop, the eyes of a young woman suddenly list up and her head raised towards a particular direction.

"That... that, aura... another saint craftsman from the humans created a holy artifact? Haha... This is interesting...."
