Chapter 3

The Murim League meeting was held.

There are two agenda items. The first of these was definitely a request from Hwain Clinic..

Although they were a little dissatisfied with the fact that it was a secret even from the Murim Alliance elders, they knew the situation and did not make an issue of it..

But what really mattered was the following agenda:.

“I can't believe it..”

Chibonggae, Hwanggyeon said with a frown..

I couldn't easily believe that there was a secret force that even Gyeongjae, one of the two major intelligence forces in Moorim, was unaware of..

“I think that information is reliable.?”

“Wooden Amitabha Buddha. Isn’t the source from Maehwajeonggeom?.”

Hyeno, an elder dispatched from the Shaolin Temple and an ark-like Hye Jabae, spoke while rolling the prayer beads wrapped around his wrist..

Ju Seo-cheon was the person responsible for the theory of immortality, the last chance to fulfill a long-held wish, but at the same time, he was the benefactor who restored Prajna God..

Even within Shaolin, his treatment was varied, but in the case of Hyeno, he treated Ju Seo-cheon as a benefactor of Shaolin..

“Well, I also know that he is a trustworthy person. However, if the information is even slightly wrong or misunderstanding, investigating them may only waste a lot of manpower and time..”

Since I was in a position to handle information, I was bound to have a lot of doubts..

“It's not wrong..”

Military, Zhuge Zhonghuo shook his head..

The matter is too heavy to act on one person's words..

It was a story that seemed like something out of a storybook, and it was a topic that only conspiracy theorists would enjoy, so there was bound to be a lot of talk..

“Aren't you just a kid who got lucky and had inflated achievements?.”

“Just as Elder Hwang said..”

The elder of the Hebei Peng family, Pang Junping, agreed with Huang Jian's words..

“What's wrong with you??”

Hwang Gyeon looked at Pang Gunpyeong in wonder..

Since I was a dog person, I always expressed opposing opinions..

“No, have you finally started using your brain? LOL LOL.”

“Shut up, you beggar. If you insult me ​​any more, I will cut off your head with my sword and let it fall down..”

Panggunpyeong growled lowly at Hwanggyeon’s ridicule..

“Now, two elders, please calm down..”

Zhuge Sang smiled bitterly and tried to stop him..

“Certainly, what Elder Hwang said also makes sense. However, the story about Amcheonhoe did not come from just one person, Maehwajeonggeom..”

“Did someone else say anything about them??”

“Dokbong and Elder Dangyeom of the Tang family. And this is Dan Ha-seong and Ui, the master of fortune-telling..”

“flaw……”

The names of those who are more powerful than expected have been revealed..

Needless to say, Dokbong, the late Jisoo and the wife of the head of the family, not only the elders but also Jeomchang Chil-gongja added their opinions..

What I care about more than anything is trust..

Hwain Clinic is a force comparable to the old faction and the five major families..

Medicine is also a medical skill, but what cannot be ignored is the debt we owe to God..

Since they are all martial arts, they are inseparable from the doctor, and there have been a few times when they have received help with elixirs or internal medicine, etc..

The place called Moorim is made up of large and small circles..

Since I placed so much importance on cheering, I couldn’t ignore it..

“I think we need to talk more about this issue..”

“I agree.”

Meeting time has increased.

Meanwhile, while the Murim League was busy for several days, the search party took a break, as if relieving their hardships..

Thanks to the many conveniences provided by the Murim lord and vice-gun, he was living a life comparable to that of a hermit..

It was nice to be provided with food that is hard to find and to be attended to by maids..

This meant that Shin’s rescue mission was important..

“Hello, we are in the upper part of Anhui.……”

Jeongdo Munpain is active near Hapbi.……”

Although access was restricted for security reasons, when the search team went outside, attention was immediately drawn to them..

After all, isn't he an elite who carried out and completed the mission that the Hwain Councilor and the Murim Lord directly kept confidential?.

It was no wonder it caught people's attention..

Most of them not only brought gifts to keep the relationship going, but were also desperate to show their faces at least once..

‘Now that I see it, it was a Tang song from the Jeomchang school and Sacheon.?’

‘There is no need to talk about the background and the abilities of the nine generations and the five generations. ……’

‘Even if you attract even a little bit of attention, it's a big deal..’

‘Isn’t that where the Murim League is like this??’

The center of the political faction, the Murim Alliance. Because it was a place where famous Chinese people gathered, it was also called a place for overseas Chinese..

People looked around for opportunities to meet each other with their own interests in mind..

And of course, the person I wanted to meet the most was Maehwajeonggeom, the hero of the political faction..

“It doesn't matter if I can't see your face. Please at least give me this gift.”

“Maehwajeonggeom is in the Murim Alliance.?”

“What are you doing! let's hurry!”

This is Daehyeop, who is called the hero of the political faction..

I tried my best to see somehow..

“Wow, Daehyeop!”

“I heard that Joo Seo-cheon Daehyeop is so handsome.?”

“I want to be held in his wide chest. Those well-trained muscles will definitely be strong.?”

“My father told me not to think about returning home until I met Zhou Daehyeop. What do we do?”

Joo Seo-cheon is the best groom in Jungwon, both in name and reality..

If it's martial arts, it's martial arts, if it's background, it's background..

He doesn't look like a handsome guy, but he's not bad at all..

It goes without saying that his personality is known as a hero of the political faction and a great hero, and although he is not a Taoist or holds a high-ranking position in the Hwasan faction, he was also able to get married..

No matter how small the power, if you capture Ju Seo-man, the glory of your family is guaranteed..

But he himself could not see it..

“Daehyeop is in training and cannot see you..”

“Because he was busy, we couldn't see him for a few days..”

No one, high or low, could see it..

Some high-ranking officials criticized him for being arrogant, but Ju Seo-cheon said, 'I think I will gain enlightenment.' After saying this and locking myself in the underground training hall provided by the Murim Alliance, I had no choice but to turn around..

“……”

A training ground where not a single ounce of light comes in.

There was only one door connected to the stairs, and there was no sound of wind..

On a rectangular marble floor, in the very center, Ju Seocheon was sitting cross-legged..

What lay before his eyes was Guhi's altar, a burning red herb..

‘This is unknown territory.’

The realm reached, including past life and present life, is ‘Hwagyeong’..

I barely made it to Hwagyeong before the end of my life, and in my second life, I took advantage of the promised opportunity to reach the end..

And even Joo Seo-cheon doesn't know what awaits him if he takes Gu-hee's altar, which is said to have the effect of immortality..

‘What lies beyond this point??’

My heart is pounding.

The thought of going on an adventure somehow gives me a sense of elation..

Since ancient times, if you are a martial artist, your goal is to overcome the wall and reach the next level. My heart is already shaking.

‘Let's calm down. I'm so upset for no reason.’

However, with this kind of mind, enlightenment cannot be sublimated..

If you call it a failure, it is literally the worst outcome..

The ‘challenge’ of always trying to move on to the next level is dangerous..

This is because if you are not careful, you could fall into a coin trap..

In particular, if you are absorbing something that contains tremendous spiritual energy like Guhi's altar, there is a high risk of regurgitation..

After Joo Seo-cheon calmed his excited mind by circulating a bet with his own skills, he listened to Gu Hui's altar..

‘Shrine of Geukyang, also known as the source of life’

Since ancient times, elixirs should be taken with at least some knowledge of their properties..

We need to be especially careful about going to extremes..

If you take Geukyang Shindan without any knowledge, the balance of yin and yang in your body will be disrupted and you will fall into a poisonous state..

Before entering the underground training hall, the conversation I had with Shinui came to mind..

“Looking at the combination of Shindan, it is clear that it has the properties of extreme yang..

So, you have to use the yang energy-specific inner gongsim method or take the opposite medicine of extreme yin... … This might solve the problem..”

Shinui gave me a bottle the size of two fingers..

‘Gongcheong Petroleum!’

An elixir that if you drink even one drop, an ordinary person will live long and healthy, and a martial artist will gain a level of strength..

Because the record was so old and no longer available, it was treated as a legend, but it was passed on to Sinui through the director of the encyclopedia..

“Was Gongcheong Petroleum a very negative drug??”

“Nope. Instead, Gongcheong Oil has the power of ‘harmony’ as it is stored in a cave where harmony between heaven and earth exists..”

“Those words are……”

“Even if you take the extreme medicine, Guxi's Shindan, it will help you absorb its power harmoniously without any problems..”

I knew it wasn't a legendary elixir for nothing..

“Oh, just in case, if you use this Gongcheong Oil for the purpose of 'harmony', you won't be able to gain internal power..”

“It's a pity.”

There is no end to human greed.

Joo Seo-cheon wants something more even though his natural amount of internal energy is beyond common sense and he is planning to take Gu-hee's Shindan..

“It's fifty nyang in gold..”

“yes?”

A thousand coins are the same..

And even though the whole thing costs just a penny, the amount of rice is two stone..

The hermit must have ten nyang to make one nyang of gold..

If it costs 50 nyang, its value is enormous..

“Don't look at me like that. Did you ever know that this old man could do charity? Guhi's shrine was originally supposed to be taken by that dark group or something, but this Gongcheong Oil was rightfully received from that guy..”

Shinui held out his palm and smiled sinisterly..

“I heard from God that he is a person who cannot be moved by money..”

“Well, if I don't say that, all sorts of troublesome things will get involved, so what can I do? And medicine costs a lot more money than you think. Please understand.”

That's not an exaggeration..

Even if it already exists, if it becomes an area of ​​research for development, it costs a lot of money..

In particular, astronomical amounts of money are continuously spent on manufacturing new drugs or treating incurable diseases..

The medical fees at Hwain Clinic were not for nothing so expensive that ordinary people could not even dream of it..

“……This is a slip from the Golden Battlefield..”

“The Golden Battlefield is a trustworthy place. Thank you.”

There is also a way to go and get the elixir of extreme yin..

But the process was not easy, so I chose the easy method..

Above all, it is questionable whether the right balance can be achieved, so it is better to choose a guarantee of good faith even if it means spending some money..

I normally used money paid by the Murim Alliance, not personal assets, let alone gold, but it went out like this all at once..

There was no way to criticize Gongcheong Petroleum because it was expensive..

If one drop is close to one penny, its value goes without saying..

It could have been cheap for 50 nyang..

‘Just try not to be an eccentric old man..’

After pushing aside his ill feelings toward Shinui, he picked up Guhui's altar and stuffed it into his mouth..

gulp.

I swallowed a drop of the milky liquid before even tasting it, put the bottle away and went into a fortune-telling meal..

‘come!’

As soon as I ate it, I got a reaction right away..

It wasn't a shrine for nothing..

Bubbly.

‘Wow!’

My esophagus felt hot, as if it had been chafed by something..

The heat spread instantly and covered every corner of my body..

My insides boil like lava. My heart was pounding.

Cold sweat poured down my back like a waterfall..

Extreme yang energy starts from the heart, passes through the diaphragm to the center of the body, and travels to the small intestine..

One of the two-branched hydrogen phonocardium goes up from the heart through the neck and connects to the eyes, and the other goes from the heart to the lungs and passes through the acupoint under the armpit to the back of the arm. It passes through the inside, wrist joint, and inside of the little finger and ends under the fingernail..

It then started again at the little finger, passed through the lower back of the hand, over the ulna of the wrist, and passed through the neural bulb and the lower outer back of the upper arm..

Afterwards, it goes around the scapula, goes to the jujube acupoint, switches, and then heads to the supraclavicular fossa..

Here again, it is divided into two, one connected to the heart in the chest, passing through the diaphragm and belonging to the small intestine..

Another branch extends across the neck and cheek to the corner of the eye, where another branch also grows..

The branch that was moving forward without changing direction was sucked into the ear, and the last branch went down to the zygomatic region and ended at the corner of the eye, connected to the cystoscope..

This passage is called the small intestine meridian..

The Hydrogen Yin Heart Sutra and the Hydrogen Sun Sutra belong to the Twelve Pure Sutras and correspond to fire among the five elements of the body..

The extreme yang qi showed interest and poked at parts of the body related to yang qi, as if looking for a mate..

In addition to the twelve main scenes, the gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, and three.

In other words, it touched the six openings..

‘hot!’

When extreme positive energy was injected into the blood stream beyond its limit, various parts of the body screamed and caused problems..

For the first time since Hanseobulchim, I felt painfully hot, and other than that, I had various reactions..

The face turned red, the eyes became bloodshot and then yellow..

My neck hurt, and the area under my solar plexus was especially sore..

My tongue was cracked like a dry desert, and the area under my chin was severely swollen..

‘Wow!!’

Medicine can become poison if used incorrectly..

It was now..

I took a rare elixir called Guxi's Goddan, but due to the amount of positive energy contained in it, strange phenomena occurred here and there..

These things happened so quickly that I had no time to do anything, so I started running wild..

‘Wake!’

If you open your mouth just a little bit, that's it..

Improper breathing causes rupture of the six parts and also damages the Danjeon..

Even though it is a hwagyeong, it does not mean that it is free from coinage..

On the contrary, the reaction was greater than.

‘come! Gongcheong Petroleum!’

If the human body could be seen in color, it would probably be colored red..

And what came down through the red flames was a milky line that harmonized yin and yang..

‘Ughhh!’

Guhi's altar and Gongcheong Petroleum.

When they came to the martial arts world, they all swallowed not one but two elixirs that would cause bloodshed, and the amount was truly enormous..

Quagwagwagwagwa!

The methods that had freely dealt with betting so far, such as Jahashingong, Jungdomangong, Manjunggeom, and Ilwol Shingung, were of no use..

Even if I tried to control the polar yang energy and the harmony energy, the momentum was like a gale and I couldn't hold on to it..

‘faith! What on earth have you made?!’

Gongqing oil, which contained as much as a pound of oil in just one drop, was not normal, but Gu Xi's divine altar was also incredible..

‘Was it really true that he was a descendant of Guhi??’

A tremendous amount of energy that even the master of the flower world cannot dare to contain..

It wasn't something that could be counted or 60 years of experience..

It was truly a refinement that reached the realm of God..

The head of Amcheonhoe's encyclopedia, who is said to know everything about the martial arts elixir and the whereabouts of Naedan, did not come to Namman for no reason..

The training techniques of the Guxi tribe were beyond imagination, combining all kinds of rare materials and divine techniques to achieve the ultimate feat..

‘It's impossible.’

Consciousness is fading away.

I tried my best not to let go, but I couldn't get over it..

‘Hold on to this?’

I'm crying!

There was no way a person would do this..

This was my first time experiencing pain like this..

It was a pain worse than a complete metamorphosis..

The veins on his face stood out, and his red face looked as if it might burst at any moment..

Still, perhaps thanks to the energy of harmony of Gongcheong Petroleum, the body did not explode and was gradually absorbed into the whole body..

‘Do not be ridiculous!’

Even if it's slow, it's too late.

It was no longer possible to endure such terrible pain..

Let alone one hour, even one hour or less was difficult..

Ahhhh!

In the end, the moment I lost consciousness to the point where I didn't know if it was a dream or reality, a scream came out of my mouth..

I don't know if that was actually said out loud or if it just rang in my head..

But I spit it all out.

Powwow!

As soon as I screamed, I heard something explode..

‘uh?’

My eyes opened. The darkness cleared and light came in..

However, what was reflected in his eyes were bone fragments visible through torn flesh and both arms that had disappeared..

Extreme positive energy that cannot be contained in the human body.

In the end, my body couldn't hold on and my arm burst..

‘Is this the end??’

There was no scream of pain.

As a swordsman, there was no shock from the loss of an arm, which meant death..

I just resigned myself to the thought that it was all over..

-Is it something that people can’t contain?.

-It contained the essence of Guxi, the incarnation of fire and immortal fairy..

-It's God's domain.

-Isn’t there something that humans can do??

Joo Seocheon could no longer continue his thoughts..

The luck technique I tried to do somehow didn't work..

With my arm missing, I tried to accept death.

and at that moment.

“Do not be ridiculous! Cough!”

Joo Seocheon let out his frustration and shouted..

It hurt, it hurt so much I screamed.

I coughed up blood every time I spoke..

“It hurts! It hurts ahhh!”

The broken bones rise upwards.

Starting from the shoulder, the bones connect and fall into place..

And then, one by one, flesh scattered like flower petals attached to it, and then it began to regain its original appearance..

I don't know if it's a dream or reality.

My brain was spinning to the point where I couldn't tell if my arm had exploded and healed, or if it had never exploded in the first place..

Even though it is dangerous to absorb the elixir and even speak during fortune telling, Joo Seocheon screamed as if he was irritated..

‘This is what happened, I'll get up somehow!’

“Maehwajeonggeom, Gungguigeomsu……”

Someone's voice came out.

It wasn't a low note.

I could tell it belonged to a man and not a woman..

“How fun..”

eat.

A sound of laughter came out..

But that voice was as cold as ice..

Up a hundred stairs. owner of the splendid throne.

All I could see was my toes..

“……”

Under the master of Dark Heaven, the only four remaining leaders of the Seven Sacred Temple were prostrate and still without breathing..

In particular, the one-armed Cheon-gi's face was not good..

‘It can't be like this..’

What happened so far was a nightmare itself..

Only half a year. It's been less than a year, and two of the plans we had prepared for a long time have been shattered..

The start of the shock was around this time a year ago, when, after the death of Cheon Seon, Prajna Godong was delivered to the Shaolin Temple, and Meng Gang lost his life one after another, and the Nokryongchae collapsed..

I was definitely angry, but I thought I could make up for it the next time I did something planned..

Time is a waste of time, but a huge amount of effort and money was spent..

It was a plan so important that I put everything else aside..

Cheongi, as expected from his shrewd personality, was not arrogant and managed it with great care and attention..

And the days when the wind blows so hard that it hurts my bones.

The rebellion of immorality has begun.

It took a lot of effort to move half of the Eight Gates of Sado, the backbone of Sado Heaven..

It was a grand plan for the future that would not tolerate failure in Amcheonhoe, to the extent that the head of the association was directly involved..

However, the result was ruined by the appearance of the elder of Haomun, or rather, the swordsman of Gunggui, and killing Cheonquan..

I didn't expect that Damribaek would succeed in the rebellion..

He wanted to weaken his power through a prolonged civil war..

In fact, many efforts were made to achieve this..

I manipulated so many places that all my hair fell out..

But what is this? It was expected that the rebellion would fail, but the results were very different from what was desired..

Rather than weakening, the dolls on the palm of the Amcheonhoe were suppressed without much power..

In other words, it meant that overnight, spies and secret agents invested for several years disappeared without much use..

Above all, he lost Cheonjeon, the head of the Seven Stars..

When I first heard this news, I couldn't believe my ears..

The fiasco of the rebellion, the death of Cheon Quan, etc. all made the blood pressure rise..

I even tried to escape reality, saying it was just a dream..

But it was all reality. It wasn't a lie.

I hoped it wasn't, but it was just the wind..

To make matters worse, Sado Heaven ended up a little exhausted rather than fatally wounded, and with his meticulous nature, he persistently searched Sado Heaven to ensure that he was not going anywhere and took care of the henchmen..

In my heart, I wanted to bring in a gunman or something and tear him to death, but as soon as the rebellion was over, he disappeared as if he had been waiting..

I couldn't even find a trace.

Needless to say, the internal consequences of this failure were.

I didn't want to see or hear..

I tried to restore it somehow, but the Apostle Heaven was not a very easy opponent, and in the end, I lost more than half of it..

The target for revenge is gone, and I didn't get anything I wanted..

Not only that, just a few days ago, after hearing the worst news in history, all the leaders of the Amcheonhoe gathered together..

‘The head of the Dog Inspector was harmed.?’

If Cheon Ki-seong was the brain of Hoeju and Gaeyang-seong was the right arm, Dogambu was the left arm..

It was not just a left arm, it was the head of the Dogambu, comparable to the seven institutions called Chilseongsa..

After the establishment of the conference, the role of the Dogambu, which collects and manages elixirs and internal resources to make money, appease, and increase power, is very important..

So everyone was immersed in a common plan to avoid disruption as much as possible, and was permitted to act independently..

As such, he naturally possessed the appropriate military force, and was just below Gaeyang, the second strongest man after Hoeju..

In particular, it was said that his inner strength exceeded his enlightenment nature, so I couldn't believe that such an encyclopedia director was dead..

‘Joo Seocheon …… !’

Cheongi gritted his teeth inwardly..

Plum blossom sword. It's that name again.

Starting with ruining the carefully prepared Seven Swords War, they have been interfering with everything..

Just hearing the name makes my blood pressure rise..

A situation where people who are called heroes of government affairs take turns visiting the Amcheonhoe. To make matters worse, the existence of the meeting became known..

“Please kill me!”

thud! thud! thud!

Cheongi hit his forehead on the floor..

It was so strong that every time it hit, blood burst through the torn skin..

“Maehwajeonggeom and Gungguigeomsu. The two can no longer be seen as thorns in their eyes..”

Amcheonhoeju is an arrogant person who thinks that martial arts is in the palm of his hand..

It's amazing that it catches the eye, and Maehwajeonggeom and Gungguigeomsu were recognized as enemies of the meeting..

“Put their name on the killing register at the same level as the Ten Chairs of Heaven, and kill them, even if there is some sacrifice..”

“honorary name!”

Only four of the Seven Saints left disappeared..

“Very… … It's not a good feeling..”

Amcheonhoeju muttered in displeasure..

All the time and effort put into it was in vain..

Even his left arm was cut off, so it's even weirder if it feels good..

Above all, I was very unhappy with the fact that the existence of the meeting was revealed and it did not go as planned..

I was secretly hoping that Jeongdo, Apostle, and Mado would appear and laugh at each other when they got tired from fighting each other..

‘Joo Seocheon.’

Tracking down Gungguigeomsu will probably take some time..

So I decided to bring out the hero of the political faction first..
