Chapter 7: Volcanic peak song (華山鳳聲))

again and again.

I hoped it would hold out as long as possible..

But I didn't expect this.

I wanted to see the urgent look on his face as he kept it in his mouth, swallowed it as if he had no choice, and tried to decipher it right away..

I thought that only then could I avenge the humiliation.!

“Geomnamchun (劍南春))!”

A voice filled with anger echoes sharply..

The warrior who was waiting is surprised..

He ran to Tang Hye step by step, carrying the arranged liquor bottle..

“I can’t believe I was treated to all of the two great white wines that Sichuan Province is proud of! It's good!”

Joo Seocheon laughed ‘haha’ and liked it..

When I say Idaebaekju, I mean Oryangju and Geomnamchun..

“Let’s see how long that arrogant smile lasts……!”

Danghye opened his eyes fearfully..

I can feel the murderous intent in his voice..

If you are an expert, or even a martial arts person of that level, usually when your anger rises, you will quickly find stability through meditation..

It's not that difficult once you get to the level of Danghye..

But not doing that now meant I was so angry that I couldn't stand it..

Open the mouth of the bottle and fill the empty glass with alcohol..

Even though he seemed to have lost his temper, his hand movements were careful and precise..

No matter how angry I was, I couldn't tolerate mistakes even more after the second drink..

She herself was in danger..

“Hmm.”

Joo Seo-cheon accepted the glass handed to him by Dang-hye..

‘What should I do?……’

I had concerns from the second drink..

‘It's really okay, so what should I do?……’

The unstoppable fire that proves that taffy was not exchanged.!

I didn't overconsume the energy of the elixir for no reason..

It was a worthy choice..

Thanks to the Heavenly Poison Invulnerability, the Geumseon Incident or anything else doesn't work at all..

Instead of being detoxified, it entered the body and then disappeared, but strangely enough, it was converted into a bet and stored intact as Danjeon..

To a poisoner, poison is also medicine, and perhaps because he practiced Nok-anmanpok-gong, he treated poison as internal energy..

“You'll regret having tasted the fire poison lotus.!”

Hwadogryeon!

Dangyeom, who was in awe, opened his eyes brightly..

“……Isn’t it excessive?.”

Tang Yuqi narrowed his eyebrows..

Hwadokryeon is an artificial poison that increases fire to extreme levels..

They are so small in number that they are considered rare even among the Four Thousand Dang Family..

The price is so high that you really don't use it, and you can't take it out if you don't have the right skills..

If it's poisonous, you can use Hwadokryeon, but even so, it's too much when it's not life or death..

I don't know what Ju Seo-cheon did to survive Geumseonsa Temple without any trouble, but Hwadokryun is truly an exception..

That's fatal even for most peak or transcendent experts..

Moreover, deciphering it was difficult without knowledge of the poison..

“If it's Hwadognyeon, I guess I'll have to use some strength. Please be prepared to come out at any time in preparation for any unexpected situation. Hall hall hall.”

Dangyeom stands up and pats his back..

‘Just passing Geumseonsa Temple without a problem was amazing. It is said that he obtained the elixir through luck when he was young, so it must have been thanks to his inner strength. However, Hwadokryun is not something that can be done with internal energy alone..’

Even though I'm not German, just drinking my first glass of Geumseonsa is amazing, and now all that's left is to collapse..

“Where should I taste it?.”

Suddenly!

There wasn't a single hesitation.

Immediately break the glass.

Even the vassals were shocked when they saw it..

Your guts were truly commendable..

“Like that!”

But that's for nothing..

I should have prepared at least a little before drinking it..

I clicked my tongue, thinking that detoxification would be more difficult than I thought..

“I was so excited to die!”

“crazy guy!”

It's finally over this time.

Everyone thought so and had no doubts.

It was also reflected in the eyes of Tang Yu-gi, the greatest expert in the world..

one……

“Oh my!”

Everyone stiffened at Joo Seocheon’s burp..

Dang Hye-do, who was triumphant in front of me, Dang Yeom-do, who was running quickly, and the Sacheon Danga people who filled the bar also froze..

Not only the people, but the air, the wind, and time itself stop as if frozen..

Perplexity, doubt, astonishment, disbelief, alarm, confusion……

All kinds of emotions swirl and gather in one place..

“What, what, what……!”

Danghye stuttered for the first time..

“Umm!”

Joo Seocheon expresses his thoughts with a strange expression..

“It feels like my tongue is a little tingling.!”

I can't believe I feel the same way!

‘Oh my, this can't be happening!’

Dangyeom stopped and couldn't close his mouth..

Even though I saw it with my own two eyes, my mind doesn't follow..

I ate not just any other poison, but a very poisonous poison that is of the highest class among poisons, and you say such foolish things.?

Of course, Hwadokryun is not a peerless poison..

When detoxification reached its peak level, it was possible to do it somehow if there was no interference from others..

But isn't the man in front of you just a kid?.

Even if you come from a good background, you are an unknown ordinary disciple..

Even if you have a lot of internal power, if your ability to use energy itself is poor, it is impossible to decipher it that quickly.!

‘No, did you decrypt it in the first place??’

“Even if it's fast, it's too fast……”

Danghye had the same thoughts as Dangyeom..

When common sense failed me, I became suspicious, and my head jerked back to the warrior standing behind me..

‘Did you bring it properly?!”

“Oh, of course! How could I be mistaken?!”

The warrior prostrated and answered again.

If you make a mistake in a position like this, it doesn't just end with a pay cut..

Tang Yeom, perhaps thinking about the possible situation, jumped up and stood in front of Tang Hye..

“Miss Hye, if you don't mind, can I check the bottle??”

“……Please do that.”

Dangyeom is handed a bottle of alcohol and smells the alcohol to check..

‘Sniff, the unique refreshing scent of Geomnamchun is also mixed with Hwadokryun..’

After the scent was the taste..

I tilted the bottle slightly, dropped a few drops onto my finger, and licked them..

“Elder Party, how are you??”

The first thing I asked was if Tang Yugi was curious..

“It must be strong liquor mixed with Hwadokryeon..”

Murmur.

Dangyeom is the second best poison attack expert in Sega after Gaju..

It was even more confusing because that judgment could not have been wrong..

‘There is no way this young man, or rather Joo Seo-cheon, is an absolute master beyond Hwa-kyung... … then!’

There was a guess that was close to certainty..

Dangyeom raised his head and looked at Joo Seocheon..

‘There is no change in facial expression, and breathing is constant..

The pupils also don't tremble, so there's no sign of addiction at all..

If the decryption itself did not proceed……!’

A scream burst from my mouth..

“Awesome! It is unsinkable.!”

“What!”

Tang Yugi also got up from his seat..

“The third drink is still there?”

Joo Seocheon chuckled..

* * *

Although it is a constitution that only exists in legends, it can be seen occasionally..

However, even that immortal fire is rare, and can only be found once in a few hundred years, let alone a hundred years..

In fact, there are more if you look for them, but unless you are a martial artist or a member of the National Assembly, you have no choice but to spend your whole life without knowing..

And for martial people, especially those who practice poison gong, this invincible constitution is a heaven-given constitution, as it gives them an advantage over anyone else in practicing poison gong..

Regardless of whether you are a member of the right or wrong faction, you are addicted to poison from the beginning and develop resistance, and this process is quite long..

Not only can you skip this process entirely if you use Heavenly Poison Immortality, but you can also freely manipulate poisonous energy, which is a great help in improving your ability to use energy and transform your internal energy..

Although Joo Seo-cheon himself had many limitations due to Jungdomangong and lost that advantage, from the Sacheondang family's point of view, he had the constitution to be brought in as a son-in-law regardless of his background..

Anyway, at a bar in Sacheondangga, I was served three glasses of Chilbosaehondok (七步粹魂毒), which is a higher level poison after Hwadokryun, but of course it didn't work..

Instead of getting sick, he absorbed the precious poison and accomplished the feat of rising from the Samsung to the Four Stars..

“If it weren't for my age, I would have brought him here as my son-in-law.!”

Tang Yuqi was truly saddened..

At 18, it was too late to take on as a disciple someone who had trained in the martial arts of the Hwasan School..

The constitution is a gift from heaven, but the problem is that after a while, there are terms and conditions and a recluse..

“It's not completely too late, ma'am..”

“If you are a poisonous plant, you can freely roam around Aeneosan Mountain and Poisonous Valley, so you can get help collecting poisonous plants..

Zhou Xiaohyeop has not yet taken up a senior position in the Huashan Sect, so let’s quickly accept him as a son-in-law..”

It's not that martial arts masters can't hold a wedding..

Even shamans with strong Taoist tendencies hold weddings..

However, there was a condition that one could not teach the martial arts of a monk, and one must not rise to a high rank..

If Ju Seocheon becomes Tang Seocheon, there will be more poisonous plants that can be secured, which will be of great help to the world..

“Look, Confucius Zhou. If it's okay, why don't you stay a little longer?.”

Immediately after the bet was over, Tang Yuqi visited Zhou Seocheon..

“I'd like to do that too, but I'm a bit busy. I hope that the King of Poison will be generous and understanding..”

“……Okay.”

Tang Yuqi was very disappointed..

For your information, the work of the Tang family tavern spread throughout the world, even the entire Sichuan region, and was soon known all over the world..

Dokbong was defeated again!

“I heard that he also lost at a bar in Sacheondangga.?”

“Huh, it's hard to call it a coincidence at this point..”

“One of my relatives is a warrior from the Tang family, so I heard about it. I heard that Ju Seo-cheon has a constitution that is immune to poison..”

“Wow, I can't believe it. The famous Mandokbulchim?”

“Wow, you guy! What kind of mandokbulchim is mandokbulchim? It's probably about the same as white poison..”

The Sacheondang family secretly attached Ju Seo-cheon's Cheondogbulchim..

It was because they thought they might kidnap Sado-cheon or Ju Seo-cheon, one of the demonic cultists, and use him as a human test subject..

Secrets don't last forever, so it will eventually be revealed, but it's better to keep it as secret as possible..

For reference, Dokbong was defeated twice by the same person, so Joo Seo-cheon was finally given a special nickname..

Bongchu (鳳雛))!

“Bonchu? It's a name like Tdolchu.!”

Even the person in charge hated it..

Meanwhile, Tang Hye, who was the phoenix of the star, was quite depressed after failing in the battle for revenge and experiencing the bitter taste of yet another defeat..

“……Of course……”

Originally, I wanted to confidently succeed in my revenge battle in front of many people and restore my lost self-esteem..

But it became a problem, and instead of recovering, my self-esteem fell to the bottom..

This time, I got to experience a spectacular defeat in a place where the entire Sega family was gathered..

“I heard that as a condition of the bet, he asked someone to accompany him to decipher it. Is that correct??”

Tang Yuqi went to Tang Hui, who was in despair, and asked:.

“……Yes, father.”

“is it. It's good that it's time to go to the powerhouse again..”

Normally, if you had a daughter of Tang Hye's age, you would treasure it with golden jade leaves, but there was nothing like that for Tang Yuqi..

Tang Yuqi looked at his daughter with eyes that were slightly tired as always but whose thoughts were unreadable..

“I'll attach some warriors from Sega as escorts, so follow him. If you like it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have him as your son-in-law. When you return to Sega after running errands, stop by your brother and help him with some work..”

Is there a father who is this heartless?.

There was no trace of concern for the child in those eyes or voice..

That's how Tang Hye's strong move was decided..

In the past and in the future, Geomma was a particularly prominent figure in the martial world..

As a result, even though I wasn't specifically Elder Hwasan Oh, I knew roughly the information and anecdotes about him..

Geomma had a daughter whom he cherished more than his life, but unfortunately, that daughter was suffering from an unknown incurable disease..

At that time, Geomma traveled around the central plains asking for doctors, but was unable to find out the name of the disease, let alone cure it..

So, in the end, I went to Hwain Medical Center, which had good faith, and knocked on the door, but I received an answer that the good faith at that time could not be found due to the development of a new drug..

But that doesn’t mean you can just give up, right?.

He waited for days and days and asked to meet him somehow, but the Hwain doctor looked down on Geomma, who was originally in hiding and was unknown, and kicked him out at the door..

Is this someone you can just meet??

There are dozens, no, more than a hundred to two hundred people seeking God’s faith every day..

Sometimes it's more than that.

People like Geomma are all over the world, and Sinui has turned away all visitors so that he can focus on developing new drugs..

However, sometimes, if someone was from a major clan, had a noble status, or brought a lot of money, they would arrange for treatment..

Although it was not in good faith, but because of the greed for money, Dr. Hwain did what he wanted, but because of this incident, Geomma held a grudge against him..

From Geomma's point of view, the fortunate thing among the misfortunes was that Amcheonhoe approached his daughter when she was dying, and from the martial artist's point of view, that was a disaster that was mentioned as the worst thing that could have happened..

For your reference, Hwain Clinic was destroyed by Geomma even before Amcheonhoe's invasion of the martial forest began..

God also lost his life at those hands..

The head of Hapcheon gained Geomma's loyalty by curing his daughter on his behalf..

‘I intercept it.’

So I provoked Tang Hye and made a bet..

It's not because Tang Hye possesses medical skills that rival Shin's..

It turned out that the Sword Demon's daughter was not suffering from an incurable disease of unknown cause, but was actually poisoned by a rare poison..

It was certain because his father, Geomma himself, said it while destroying Hwawonwonwon..

‘There is nothing you can do with the Green Eye Mangeonggong..’

I could only handle and use poison, but I didn't have any particular knowledge about poison..

It would have been different if I had trained through the normal route, but since it was an apostle's method using the Heavenly Poison Immortal Acupuncture method, it had this disadvantage..

So, I needed the help of a master who knows poison drills well, and the only help I can get now is poison batons..

‘Wait, Sword Demon..’

rattle

A carriage pulled by four horses rattled loudly..

Because of that, the shock was felt all over my buttocks and it hurt..

Even if you are a martial arts expert, this does not mean that riding on a carriage is uncomfortable..

Unless you're floating in the air, you'll be shocked..

I just got used to it and tolerated it..

“Burning poison, burning poison……”

I roughly explained to Dang-hye that the daughter of an acquaintance was poisoned by an unknown poison and that she needed help..

“I don't know how you can be so cowardly even though you are a Taoist..”

Danghye, who was sitting across from me, spoke in a sharp voice..

“what?”

“So shameless even though it is unsinkable……”

Tang Hye gritted her teeth with venomous eyes..

“How small is it inside?!”

Joo Seocheon did not lose and cursed..

“what? I forgot who I'm asking for now.?”

“Hehehe, I'm sure the famous Lady Dokbong of Sacheondang family will not go back on what she said. No, that can't be true. There's no way he's such a liar and a scumbag with no regard for honor..”

“Crash!”

I was able to say it without thinking because I knew that Danghye hated breaking promises she made as much as dying..

I had no intention of offending her, but it was very convenient that I didn't do it anyway..

“Once the detox is over, I won't leave you alone..”

“Anyway. haha.”

Joo Seocheon laughed while digging his ears..

Shaanxi, Volcano.

“……bongchu?”

Nak So-wol was dumbfounded when she heard Joo Seo-cheon’s nickname..

“What on earth is death penalty doing outside of Gangho?……?”

Half a year has passed since Joo Seocheon descended the mountain..

Nak So-wol had no doubt about Joo Seo-cheon’s performance..

After he returned to Hwasan, he asked me to spar with him whenever I had the chance, but even though I tried my best, I couldn't win..

I'm not bragging, but I was confident in my martial arts skills among my peers..

I've actually fought a few times and lost..

And the few among them were all Joo Seocheon..

I was laughing inside, hoping that my brother-in-law would be active in Gangho and surprise people, but what was this?.

If it's an activity, it's an activity, but I couldn't help but laugh..

All that is known is that he won a bet with Dokbong, and there are some saying that that in itself was a trick..

“……tooth.”

Luo Sowol pursed his lips..

“baby. Why are you making such a pouty face?.”

Her founder, Shim Ok-ryeon, approached and asked..

“The death penalty.”

“Joo Seocheon, are you talking about that kid again?……”

Shim Ok-ryeon didn't frown like before..

I came to recognize Joo Seo-cheon in my own way due to the work of the Yeonhwageomhoe..

However, that doesn't mean I completely like it. I just don't hate it.

“yes. Some people are training hard to become a plum sword swordsman, but they go out to the river and flirt with women.……!”

Luo Sowol muttered as if he was annoyed..

After the Lotus Swordsmanship, Naksowol was selected as a master swordsman of the Plum Blossom Swordsman and is training hard..

It's not just words, some plum sword swordsmen sometimes teach the twenty-four plum sword techniques, so it's no different from confirmation..

You have already passed martial arts, self-control, character, and etiquette, so all you have to do is go to Suseonhaeng, gain experience, and build merit..

“My brother-in-law is noticeably lacking in communication skills, and it is clear that he will eat alone if I am not there. Still, it's the death penalty for a monk, so it's so pitiful. I need to train as soon as possible, go to Suseon, and take care of my death..”

Luo Sowol snorted and swung his sword..

Gangseo, Nanchang).

Geomma needed more money than anyone else..

It was to summon prominent lawmakers to treat my daughter..

It costs quite a bit of money to hire just one lawmaker, but having to bring in multiple people cost an astronomical amount of money..

So I did whatever I could to make money, which was usually more dirty than clean..

So, I deliberately worked in the southern part of Sadocheon’s sphere of influence..

“What are you thinking, bringing this young lady to Gangseo??”

Danghye's escort warrior, peak master Won Dae-sik growled..

Jiangxi had Hubei and Anhui to the north, Zhejiang and Fujian to the east, and Guangdong to the south and Hunan to the west..

Unlike Guizhou, Gangseo is completely under Sado Heaven’s sphere of influence..

“Gluttony. The sphere of influence of Sado Heaven does not mean that corpses form mountains and blood forms oceans..”

Gangseo is a town where people live, and there is definitely management..

If it was Xinjiang, the home of the Demon Ise, it wasn't a place like hell that descended on this world..

Just as Safa people are active in the political faction sphere of influence, political faction members are also active in the Sa faction sphere of influence..

However, it cannot be said that public security is excellent, and it is difficult to receive support compared to political factions..

“Who is a glutton? This cocky guy!”

Won Dae-sik got angry and raised his voice..

It looks like he's about to swing a poisoned sword at any moment..

“I am Joo Seocheon! This cocky guy!”

Joo Seocheon answered without giving up..

“Holy shit……”

“stop.”

Tang Hye raised her hand and stopped Won Dae-sik..

“The conversation is really childish and I can't follow it..

I'm so embarrassed and wondering if I should die with my nose in a dishwasher because of you, so why don't you show me some self-respect??”

Tang Hye poured harsh words at Joo Seo-cheon..

“If so, please be careful not to start a fight with me in advance..”

“Oh my, they are just being loyal as vassals. If you ignore that, your qualifications as a lord will be questioned..”

“Yeah, no..”

“I wish you would stop shutting your mouth because your mouth smells like a ghost wandering in the nether..”

“……”

A bitter personality that can overwhelm even the devils and safaris.!

The group arrived at Namchang late at night, grabbed a guest cup, and undressed..

For reference, Danghye covered her face with a veil..

How bees are attracted to flowers.

I didn't want to cause a fuss, especially since the off-white color was unusual..

the next day.

“If you take twenty people with you, it's like they're making a fuss about asking you to stay here. Only about three people will follow, and the rest should go out and get information, even if it is just a remote area..”

“Yes, lady.”

Perhaps because Danghye had experience appearing in Kangho, she had a good idea of ​​how to move..

Even though I didn't have a very good personality, it wasn't that I was driven by emotions and couldn't distinguish between public and private matters..

At least it was better than taking a child with needlessly high pride and not knowing anything about the world and telling him everything..

The group visited a tile-roofed house near the outskirts of Nanchang..

It seems to be a well-off house, and the size is quite large..

“It's small.”

Danghye stood in front of the door and muttered..

Even though it was big, compared to the five generations, it was a premature bleeding..

“It doesn't matter what you think, but it would be best not to show your pride in front of the people you meet from now on..”

Tang Hye tried to retaliate with her usual harsh words, but when she saw that Joo Seo-cheon's mood was unusually heavy, she kept her mouth shut..

‘to meet someone……?’

This is Ju Seocheon, who was confident and not nervous even in front of the world's poisonous king and the head of the Four Heavenly Dang Family..

As he paid special attention, my curiosity arose..

It's good

“What's going on??”

As soon as the gate opened, I saw some fierce warriors..

“I came because I wanted to meet the lightning sword spirit..”

sreung.

The sword came out smoothly from the warrior's waist..

“If you came here with a grudge against him, it would be better not to think about leaving meekly..”

“Not many people would know that fact.……”

“What kind of people are they? reveal yourself.”

The atmosphere changed in an instant..

The Tang family warriors on Ju Seo-cheon's side were also ready to throw memorization at any time..

A sudden moment!

“Get out of the way.”

Someone walked out of the courtyard accompanied by a voice..

“ah……”

Joo Seocheon muttered quietly..

I found it.

It's not like I've never seen a sword demon before..

But at that time, I couldn't even recognize the face properly because I was looking at it from a really far away..

Nevertheless, Joo Seocheon recognized him at a glance..

The eyes were torn apart and the pupils inside them were full of venom, like a demon coming back from hell..

Like the eyes, the jaw line was sharp, and the untied hair hung down to the waist..

His age is around mid-40s and he is quite handsome, but the straight scar from above his right eyebrow is scary..

What stood out above all else was his height, which was nearly seven feet tall..

‘Gaeyangseong (opening star) Sword Demon, Dance (Mugok))!’

Ten seats in heaven.

Chilseongsa Temple.

Right arm of Amcheonhoeju.

Truly the devil of the sword.

Another monster from Amcheonhoe!

“under.”

Inadvertently, I let out a laugh..

‘I can't recognize the territory……’

Hasoo doesn't recognize Gosu..

and……

“Plum blossom in the sleeve... … You raised a monster from a volcanic wave..”

Go Soo recognizes Ha Ha..
