Chapter 88 – 89. Making a Deal-2

What is the most important thing for Murim people facing life and death?

Your own trained body?

A history of constant cultivation?

If they all face the same opponent, what will decide the difference between winning and losing?

Many will say this.

A difference more subtle than a thread will tell the result.

So what makes that subtle difference?

Many will say

That’s the difference in weaponry.

The rich talkers asked questions to them.

I wonder if it means that when you reach a level, you will reach a level where you are not bound by weapons.
It is said that masters who have reached the stage can subdue the sewers with good weapons even with a single twig.

Regarding this question, the swordsman who rose to the position of the best in the world with a single sword said.

“A person of the highest rank can fight those less than him without weapons, but he will never be able to face those who are of the same rank.”

Even the first person in the world acknowledged that it was a weapon.

After Geomson’s remarks, many Murim people became more thirsty for weapons, and the demand for iron increased rapidly.

For the Murim people, a good quality weapon is one of the treasures that everyone wants to own.

With the difference in the quality of weaponry, who can resist when you can carry an extra life with you?

So, what is the cause of this qualitative difference?

Field skills?

Form of arms?

Making period?

It wasn’t all

It was the material that brought about the qualitative difference in weapons.

If it is not a quality material, no matter how excellent a yard master smelts it, it will not be able to exceed the limit of that material.

If someone asks me to choose between a sword made by a first-rate smith and a sword made by a third-rate smith, he would choose a sword made by a 100,000 third-rate smith.

In this way, the material makes a stark difference in armaments.

Therefore, for many Murim people, high-quality metal was a coveted treasure.

So, what is the best metal out there?

Many will speak in unison.

Without question, it is said that it is a 10,000 year old.

There are many metals in Moorim.

Starting with cheap miscellaneous iron, the preference of the warriors varies according to the quality of steel, hyeoncheol, white lotus steel, etc.

In the case of cheap iron, it breaks very quickly, so it is mostly used by general soldiers going out to the battlefield or when making agricultural tools.

It is self-evident that if a weapon made of iron is used, it will not withstand the internal strength and will be broken soon, so if you are an unmanned soldier who can handle the internal strength, you will get a weapon made of steel even if you are in debt.

At least because only armaments made of steel can withstand the internal force.

And if money was needed, it was the unmanned to change weapons made of high-quality materials such as Hyeoncheol or Baengnyeonjeonggang.

And there was a metal that such warriors couldn’t help dreaming of, so it was the end of the year.

10,000 years

Among the many metals that exist in Moorim, it is by far the king of metals with the highest strength, and it is a rare metal that you should only see once in your lifetime.

Iron usually corrodes and rusts if it is left for a long time. When storing iron like that, it is necessary to maintain the proper temperature and humidity to prevent corrosion. If stored at too low a temperature, it would break, and if stored at too high a temperature, it would deteriorate.

As such, the storage of iron was very difficult.

However, iron that has undergone such strict storage becomes colder the longer it is aged, and this is called cold iron.

In the case of such a season, the strength and elasticity change according to the number of years old. The longer you stay, the harder it becomes.

Of these, 10,000 years old steel is a name for steel that has been aged for more than 10,000 years, and it boasts tremendous strength that is incomparable to general iron.

Because of these characteristics, many Murim people have come to call it the metal of their dreams.

But now, the metal of such a dream appeared in front of Seonwoo’s eyes.

I couldn’t be happier.

Pounding

Sunwoo felt his heart pounding.

A surface full of cold chills and strength that does not fade even in sword steel

It must have been.

It is one thousand years old.

There was no such thing as a windfall.

The corners of his mouth began to rise.

If it was an object stored by Hancheol in his later years, it must have been of enormous value.

Even if not, if you make a sword by melting this iron box, it will be a great sword.

Even if it is this much, it will be an even better treasure from the perspective of a good friend who corresponds to the inner altar.

“Did you like it? Did you like it?”

In Seonwoo’s arms, the human face holder spoke with a voice like a oriole.

Other than that, I thought the knife was raised to kill me, and I was very scared.

Turns out I hit the box.

And looking at the corners of his mouth that went up as if he was satisfied, he could tell that he was a human face.

The fact that Sunwoo is in a very good mood right now.

“I like it very much.”

Seonwoo patted the head of the face holder without hesitation and continued.

When he guides me to the place where this treasure is, all the emotions I have been feeling have been blown away.

Hehe”

The face-to-face Jiju, who stroked her hair, smiled brightly.

I don’t know why, but the person in front of me seemed to like the box.

That means

Doesn’t that mean you can live?

She smiled pleasantly.

Sunwoo put her smile behind her and put her on the floor.

“Oh “

The Inmyeon Jiju, who was cradled in Seonwoo’s arms, let out a sigh at her pity.

It was because it was more comfortable than I thought.

Seonwu put her face support down on the floor and moved closer to her box.

And I started to take a closer look at the shape of the box.

The exterior was a simple box that was extremely crude.

And seeing that there was no separate keyway, it seemed to be a structure that could be simply opened.

Seonwoo grabbed the top of the box and began to open it slowly.

“Huh”

However, the box did not open as if it was glued together.

‘Isn’t it easy after all?’

Seonwoo concentrated and began to raise his inner strength.

My body started to energize.

“Huh!”

Seonwoo opened the box with strength again.

Shake

But I only hear the box itself

Didn’t open

Sunwoo was embarrassed.

What do you mean by all this?

Is there some kind of special device?

Seonwoo started to touch the entire box again.

Obviously, since Dokhwang said that he opened and closed it freely, there must be a way to open it.

However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t find the right opening and closing device, and Seonwoo was annoyed.

Sereung

Then he took the sword out of the sword holder again.

It was intended to scrape the seams of the box with a sword.

Ssuk ssuk ssak

Seonwoo put the sword in the seam and started scratching.

No matter how sturdy it was made, it was still a human-made box.

Keep scratching and one day it will open.

Ssuk ssuk ssak
.
.
.
.
How long has it been

Chaenggrang

“I will not”

However, no matter how much I scraped the seams, there was no sign of them opening.

Seonwu, whose entire body was covered in sweat, threw down his sword.

It was because there was a limit to patience.

It seemed that I was thinking about it wrong.

I thought that just finding it would solve everything, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

The box showed no signs of being opened and was starting to wear out.

Sunwoo admired.

He, a master of the Hwagyeong, said that he could not open it himself.

‘Should I use a sword ring? No, even the contents may be destroyed. So, should I melt it down and check the contents? No, who entrusts this treasure to someone…’

Numerous thoughts started running through his head.

How did you dispose of this treasure?

When I made a sword ring and broke it, it was unknown whether it would be broken, and even if it was broken, I was worried that the contents would be damaged.

However, when I melted it and checked it, there was no field that I could trust and entrust it to.

Do you mean how to do this

It was then.

“…There”

The voice of the face holder came from behind.

Seonwoo looked back at her question.

“Why?”

“Why are you scratching that box with your claws?”

When the face-to-face landlord tilted her head, she asked him.

Why are you scratching the box all of a sudden?

“Because it doesn’t open.”

Sunwoo replied bluntly.

He was so irritated that he didn’t have the time to respond kindly.

“I heard it opens with just a touch?”

She questioned Sunwoo as if in doubt.

“What?”

Seonwoo was taken aback by her answer.

I was looking for an institution like that, but it opened with just a touch.

‘Then you didn’t just lose your strength!?’

Sunwoo wanted to be sorry.

It’s just ignorance that I asked from the beginning.

In a word, it was bullshit.

Anxiety surged sharply.

“Why do you say that now!”

Seonwoo, feeling embarrassed, threw his temper at the human face holder.

What kind of heart does it mean to stay still while doing that high school student?

Isn’t this a ploy to fool anyone?

“You didn’t ask!”

Inmyeonjiju also faced back without losing.

What kind of heart does it mean to have a temper without questioning yourself?

“You fiddled with the box so much that you didn’t know it?”

“I thought you were playing with the box again.”

“I must have played well with it!”

Sunwoo approached her and grabbed her soft cheeks.

“Aaaaa”

“Did you do it on purpose to fuck me?”

“How are you talking? (What is taffy?)”

Her cheeks were tugged and she wept as Sunwoo answered.

What’s wrong with you pulling your own cheeks?

And if she eats, she eats herself, so why give him?

I don’t know what it was, but her resentment for the candy soared.

“No, did you do a trick to take away my stamina? You damn spider!”

“Ah, ah! (No, no!)”

Even in a situation where her cheek was pulled, she answered quickly and expressed her resentment.

Suddenly, what kind of lightning bolt is this?

Water began to pool in her eyes.

This hurt so I wasn’t crying.

It must be because I am so unfair and resentful

Sunwoo let go of the cheek she had tugged at her only after he had been harassing her a lot.

Her teasing her made her feel somewhat uneasy.

“Ceeeee”

After being pulled by her cheeks by her sunwoo, she began to caress her own cheeks.

How hard she pulled

It was swollen red.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but why are you torturing yourself when you’re still?

‘Dog guy’

She started glaring at Seonwoo with her resentful eyes.

I will definitely repay this grudge someday

Seonwoo, whether he knew what she was thinking or not, just approached the box indifferently.

Wearing

Sunwoo put her hand on top of her box.

I could still feel the cold touch.

Sunwoo began to slowly pour her history into the box filled with her cold energy.

If Inmyeonjiju’s words were true, Dokhwang would have made this box open and closed by using internal strength as a key.

The yin and yang blender flowed slowly and soon began to cover the entire box.

Ugh

The box began to vibrate and resonate.

‘Is it open!?’

Seonwoo was delighted with the unusual reaction of the box.

Because I wanted to finally open it.
.
.
.
However, only the box resonated and showed no signs of opening.

Sunwoo was worried.

‘Why won’t this open?’

If you listen to the words of the human face holder, did you not say that it was opened when you touched it?

Then it is said that the key is internal force, but why does it not open?

Tingle

Seonwoo glared at the face holder just in case.

Maybe I lied

“Why? What? Hit me? Hit me, hit me!”

Seeing Seonwoo’s gaze, he raised his voice to become a face-bearer.

It seemed that the grudge that pulled the ball was still there.

Bang

“Quack”

Seonwoo hit the face holder on the head and turned his gaze back to the box.

No matter how much I thought about it, I thought that the face holder would not be a guy with enough intelligence to lie.

Then, how did Dokhwang open this box?

Seonwoo began listing information about Dokwang in his head.

‘The first person in the world produced by the Tang family, the great hero who saved Murim, the prostitute who established the Hall of Loneliness, and the founder of Manryu Guiyuan Shingong…’

Flash

Suddenly, he felt something flash in his head.

Sunwoo quickly put his hand on the box and slowly began to gather his strength.

This time it was no ordinary yin-yang harmony.

It was a Yin-Yang harmonizer that imitated the Manryu Guiwen Singong.

The encroaching poison and internal forces in the body began to mix into one again.

Soon, green energy began to flow from his body.

It was the energy of Manryu Return to Heaven.

Once again, the Yin-Yang harmonizer was transformed into a Manryu return machine.

Seonwoo sent the transformed Manryu Return to the box as it is.

The Manryu return flag began to cover the entire box before I knew it.

And

Click

The box slowly opened with a clicking sound.

‘It was great!’

Seonwoo sang joy.

It was because it seemed like the correct answer was to let go of the Manryu return flag.

Seonwoo snatched the slowly open box and opened it completely.

Then he lowered his head and began to look inside.

But it was dark inside so I couldn’t see what was there.

Seonwoo put his hand inside the box and started to fumble inside him.

Took

And it wasn’t long before I felt something touch me.

A smile formed on Sunwoo’s lips.
