Chapter 61
##61fury. There was, there wasn't
“Grumble~ Piyuuu… … Grumble~ Piyuuu…….”
Heonwon River stretched out on the bed and snored loudly..
The sight of his swollen face and double nosebleeds was truly a sight to behold..
‘Still, there are no injuries anywhere..’
One of Heonwon River's greatest talents is that he is a natural strong boner..
Although I did ignorant training every day that would have left others with body aches for days, I woke up the next day feeling refreshed..
It could be said that he had amazing physical strength..
“Hmm... … . Paeng Sahyuk… … . You bastard... … . wait a moment…….”
“little? It's far, you bastard..”
After checking the condition of Heonwon-gang, who was talking in his sleep, I moved to the next room..
In the room right next door, Wi Ji-cheon was curled up like a shrimp and sleeping peacefully..
“Kuul…….”
Although he is fifteen, his sleeping face looks as young as a ten-year-old boy..
When we first met, he was a sword spirit who was half out of his mind, but now Wi Ji-cheon is a much more innocent boy than other kids his age..
‘Well, this guy was pure even when he was addicted to coinage..’
Although he tore a live bird to death and chewed up a rabbit next to the grave with that innocent face..
“mom…….”
Wi Ji-cheon was talking in his sleep and hugging the sword in his arms tightly..
I stared at it blankly..
Unlike Heonwongang, Wijicheon had a small physique and thin limbs..
It's still growing so there's plenty of room for it to grow, but even so, it's probably about an average physique..
‘It's not that I have bad muscles for wielding a sword, but I can't say it's very good either..’
Wi Ji-cheon is a genius.
But this boy's talent lay in his intellect, not his body..
Even though it was fake, his understanding and concentration were excellent enough to master the difficult martial arts sword on his own to a fairly high level..
More than anything, this boy loves swords..
-A swordsman must like the sword.
-Isn’t that natural??
- Do you think it’s natural? Most swordsmen view the sword as a tool necessary for martial arts, and only as a blade for murder. They only use swords, they don't like them.
-What exactly does it mean to like swords? Is this advice about mindset??
-a sword is a sword.
-Hey there, Master Geomzon. I'm not asking you to answer a Zen question right now.…….
-It's just a sword. If you want to understand the sword, look at it every day..
-No this…….
The face of Master Geomzon, who was quietly stroking his beloved sword after putting on a human costume as a Zen question, came to mind..
The beloved sword that Master Geomjon loved so much was broken when its owner died..
“mom… … . dad…….”
As if he was having a nightmare, Wi Ji-cheon flinched and held the sword in his arms tightly. There was cold sweat on my pale forehead..
‘Are there still any after-effects of the coin-op attack?.’
Although he tries to pretend to be bright in front of people, it has been less than a month since Wi Ji-cheon was freed from the evil spirit..
The physical part is almost recovered, but the mental part will take a little more time..
“Ugh, uh, I'm scared…….”
I placed my hand on Wi Ji-cheon's forehead, which was pale from a nightmare..
As he poured out a little energy and brought warmth into his body, Wi Ji-cheon's expression gradually relaxed..
“It's okay. are you okay.”
“dad… … . don't go…….”
“I'm not going. Dad I'm not going anywhere.”
He placed one hand on his forehead and the other on his stomach and slowly rubbed it, and Wi Ji-cheon slowly fell into a deep sleep..
‘Me indeed. I feel like I'm raising a child that doesn't even exist..’
After confirming that Wi Ji-cheon was fast asleep, I got up and went outside..
A bright moonlit night.
I walked around the manor and thought about various things..
‘Gwangma and Geomzon. Heonwon River and Wijicheon Stream.’
Both had talents that could be called geniuses, but if you look closely, they were completely different types..
Heonwon River was gifted with superior physical ability, good eyes, and steel-like stamina that allowed him to imitate most herbivores he saw..
That's why the straight and destructive Sura Hyeolcheondo method was perfect for him..
On the other hand, Wi Ji-cheon was outstanding in understanding and mastering difficult martial arts, concentration, and immersion in the sword..
This is why the difficult but deep Martial Sword suits Wi Ji-cheon well..
‘Wijicheon is stronger now, but.’
Wijicheon is still the stronger of the two, but once Heonwongang learns Surahyeolcheondo in earnest, the gap will quickly narrow..
The half Jincheondo taught by Heonwongang will be an excellent foundation for learning Sura Hyeolcheondo, and considering his tenacity and stamina, he will develop at a tremendous speed..
Moreover, the existence of a competitor named Wijicheon..
There was no doubt that it would bring a tremendous synergistic effect to the training..
Of course, this also applies to Wi Ji-cheon..
“How strong will they both become... … I can't even imagine..”
Before I knew it, a happy smile formed on my face..
It was thrilling just to imagine how the disciples I had raised would be swaying around Emperor Tianwu..
Of course, I was going to die to make this fantasy a reality..
Because that is my role as a teacher..
‘To do that, I need to become stronger too..’
In order to properly teach these two geniuses, I needed to become stronger than I am now..
I walked slowly and kept thinking.
‘There is no problem with external exercises as I practice the 18 Green Forest techniques every day. The problem is also to increase the achievement of Reverse Heavenly Art.…….’
Reverse Cheonshingong is divided into minor, medium, and major depending on accomplishment..
Currently, I have attained the 3 stars of Yeokcheonsingong and have achieved complete transformation, and I am now at the crossroads of transitioning to neutrality..
“……I need to get more elixirs.”
4Once you go beyond the castle and reach the beginning of the castle, there is much more you can do..
But a large amount of elixir was needed..
It was a reverse heavenly magic that continued to require elixirs until at least the end of neutrality..
‘It's going to cost you a lot of money. I have to meet Bok Man-chun soon..’
It was time to think about future plans..
I felt someone creeping up behind me and turned around..
“Elderly? You're late.”
“Heh heh. I tried to surprise you from behind... … . Did you get caught too?.”
Wi Ji-yeol scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression..
The head of the Wiji family, one of the eight major families of the fallen blood religion..
But now he was just a nice, big old man..
I could feel the heat that had not yet cooled down from Wi Ji-yeol’s body..
“Are you coming from the blacksmith shop??”
“Heh heh. I almost live there these days. It's been a while since I touched iron in a proper blacksmith shop, so I should be able to control myself..”
After entering the city under a false identity provided by Cheong-cheon, Wi Ji-yeol was working at a blacksmith shop, one of my businesses (under Heo-cheon's name)..
“Take it easy. You are older too..”
“I'll try. What about Chen Yi??”
“I fell asleep early because I was tired. I sparred with the guy I brought in all day..”
“Ah, today was the day my senior from Blue Dragon Academy said he would come. We should get along without fighting…….”
“Don't worry. At first, Cheon was clingy, but later on, the senior guy was clinging to me to the point where it was disgusting..”
We laughed and talked for a while about what each other was up to..
Wi Ji-yeol’s face, which I haven’t seen in a long time, looked very bright..
“I'm really happy these days. It's all thanks to you.”
Ever since I cured Wi Ji-cheon's juhwa-ipma, Wi Ji-yeol has regarded me as his lifelong benefactor..
“Not only did he save our only grandchild, he also gave us a new identity. Moreover, it made my lifelong wish come true... … . Even if I die to repay the favor I received from you, it will not be enough..”
“Then you should live for a long time. That way, the favor will take a long time to be repaid.?”
Wi Ji-yeol burst out laughing and hit my shoulder at my sincere joke..
“Hehehe! That's it again! Ah! I will live a very long time for you.!”
“Yeah, that's right.”
“Hehehehe!”
Puk puk puk puk!
The taste of his hand hitting my shoulder in a friendly way is very spicy..
Why is this old man’s palm as big as a pot lid?…….
I felt like I wouldn't be able to move my shoulder tomorrow morning if I didn't quickly change the subject, so I slowly moved my shoulder away and asked what just occurred to me..
“But is there any progress in creating a sword that surpasses the Blood Demon Sword??”
“…….”
At that moment, Wi Ji-yeol's hand stopped like a lie..
Wi Ji-yeol looked at me with a troubled expression..
“Umm. I still have something to say about that..”
I entrusted Uncheol to Wi Ji-yeol, the best blacksmith in the Blood Cult, and asked him to make a sword that surpasses the Blood Demon Sword, and Wi Ji-yeol had already started on that request..
‘But why does your expression look bad? Is there some problem??’
Wi Ji-yeol, whose expression had clearly been bright just a moment ago, looked at me secretly and said,.
“I'm sorry to say this... … . Huh. It seems like it would cost a lot of money.”
The reason was less serious than I thought, I said with a sigh of relief..
“How much do you need??”
“I already wrote it down to give it to you when you come. There are a lot of equipment and materials needed..”
Wi Ji-yeol searched through his belongings and handed me a list of necessary items..
In it was a list of necessary items and their prices..
……It's not a big deal.
“Do you really need this much? What on earth is so expensive??”
“…… First of all, you can't make a sword with cloud iron alone. The amount is not enough, and basically, you have to mix hyeoncheol with various other irons to make an alloy, so that the strength of the sword is much higher. And to handle different types of iron, you need a lot of equipment.…….”
“Hey, aren’t you the best field leader in the blood religion? A craftsman who creates famous swords even in a shabby blacksmith shop.…….”
Wi Ji-yeol looked puzzled at my words..
“Do you know that craftsmen make swords with their bare hands? Isn't it natural that to make the best sword, you need the best materials and environment? In fact, the more artisans they are, the more picky they are with their equipment.!”
“…….”
“Trust me. If you get me these, I will definitely make you a treasured sword that surpasses the blood demon sword.…….”
“…….”
When I didn't answer and just sighed, Wi Ji-yeol's expression became sullen..
“Is it too much? … ? Okay. Then I'll take a few things out of here... … Only the essential things…….”
“no. Let's make it now.”
I shook my head at that small figure..
I also agree that in order to make the best, you must have the best materials and environment..
“The ones here. We'll provide everything.”
“Oh, thank you! And I'm sorry…….”
I smiled and said.
“You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm rich.”
I thought so.
Until then, I thought I was rich..
* * *
The next day, I wore a human skin mask and went to visit Fu Manchun..
“Confucius. welcome.”
“Commander-in-Chief Bok. It's been a while.”
Bok Man-chun, whom I met after a long time, seemed to have gained a lot of weight compared to before..
In the past, he had a mean-spirited look and a romantic, literally romantic vibe, but now he was just a guy with a bad-looking belly..
Bok Man-chun sensed my gaze and cleared his throat and made an excuse..
Quickly covering my stomach with my hand.
“I've been busy these days so I haven't been able to exercise.…….”
Wouldn't it be a bit problematic to say that martial people are bad at exercising?.
I thought so for a moment, but Bok Man-chun was not my bodyguard, but rather a general who ran various businesses and made money for me, so it was nothing to worry about..
I gave him the list of items I had received from Wi Ji-yeol..
“I was thinking of asking for some of these..”
Fu Manchun's expression immediately darkened when he saw the items and prices on the list..
“These are all expensive items..”
“I hope to expand the blacksmith shop a bit this time. As you know, the new old man above has good skills.?”
“Ah, yes… … . Do you mind if it takes some time??”
“The sooner you do it, the better..”
Fu Manchun's expression wasn't very good, but I didn't pay much attention to it and brought up the next matter..
“And like before, please look into elixirs as well. A little more this time…….”
“Me, Confucius. I'll be honest with you.”
Fu Manchun, with a hardened expression, suddenly took out a ledger and held it out in front of me..
“Why is the ledger suddenly…….”
“I have no money.”
“……What does that mean??”
I inherited the property of old man Heo, who was one of the top ten usurers in the male prostitution industry..
But I have no money?
“To be exact, it was there, but it's gone..”
Fu Manchun opened the ledger in front of me and said:.
