Episode 325 – Martial Arts District (3)

Zhuge Mi-ryeong waved his arms and greeted.

“Greetings to Seon Cheongwol. “My name is Jegal Miryeong, and I hold the position of Master Jinbeop of the Murim Alliance.”

Emperor Qingwol smiled softly and said.

“Oh my goodness, it’s nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot of rumors. “I heard she’s a genius who mastered Jinbeop at a young age?”

“Yes···? Ahaha! It’s not like I’m a genius. “I just like the formation method.”

As the atmosphere relaxed, Zhuge Mi-ryeong’s true personality came out. He had a lively and lively tone.

“You are humble. But why did these precious people come here?”

Jegal Miryeong, who was chattering, said, “Ah!” He was surprised and he spoke urgently.

“Ugh, sorry. “When I think about it, this is not the time.”

Young Spirit Ha listened to her words. It was strange that two masters of flower gardens came to visit a rural area like Cheongbong-hyeon.

Zhuge Mi-ryeong glanced at Jiewang, who was still frozen, and she said.

“Do you know about the formations that the blood religion has set up throughout the central plains?”

“Um… I heard it briefly from my husband. “I heard it’s a method of absorbing the energy of those who die nearby?”

“That’s right. It is a method of absorbing blood sources, and the scale is quite large. It is a large-scale formation installed throughout the entire central plain based on Yongmaek. Therefore···”

Hearing the explanation that followed, Young Spirit narrowed her eyebrows. It wasn’t very good news.

“The center of that battle is Mt. Cheongbong?”

“Yes. So, while researching about Mt. Cheongbong, I found out that there was a folk legend that a large evil was sealed away there. Is that true? “I don’t think the blood religion made this place their center for nothing.”

Youngyoung Ha, who was silent for a moment, shook her head.

“···It was so long ago. There aren’t many records left. “The teacher who guarded Cheongbong Secret Service before me also left a message to just protect Cheongbong.”

Zhuge Mi-ryeong sighed sadly.

“Ah… There’s nothing we can do if there are no records. Then, I would like to investigate Cheongbongsan Mountain myself. Would it be okay?”
“Cheongbongsan…”

Ha Youngryeong pursed his eyebrows. She remained silent as if something was bothering her.

“I don’t mind investigating. In the first place, I am not the owner of Cheongbongsan Mountain. ···If it’s okay, just wait three days and come with me. “After hearing Sojeo’s words, I remembered what I should prepare.”

“Thank you for your words, but we will leave first. If my prediction is correct, I don’t have much time. “I think it would be better to start the investigation as soon as possible.”

*

In the end, the Murim League members left for Cheongbongsan Mountain first.

Ha Yeong-ryeong, who was watching them, lamented.

‘Master… Is this really the time you mentioned?’

After hesitating, she took her steps. The deepest part of Cheongbong Secret Temple. She headed to the seal left behind by her teacher.

How long did it take to walk along the complicated route? The rustling green grass was stepped on.

“Ah···”

An old log cabin appeared before my eyes. Even though it was indoors, there was a clear sky.

Squeak.

I opened the door, which was creaking because the hinges were corroded. There was a whiff of acrid air. The air itself had a stale smell. This means that no one has been looking for it for a long time.

But strangely, not a single speck of dust had accumulated in the house.

Ugh!

I saw a treasure floating in the air. Volcanoes, lightning, tsunamis, etc. It was a rectangular wooden board with various natural disasters carved into it.

‘···A treasure left behind by Shinseon.’

The sculpture was so vivid, as if it was alive and moving.

I looked at him blankly, as if I was possessed, and stretched out my hand. The nine-legged jewel left behind by a distant ancestor responded.

Ugh…!

The faint vibration grew louder. The seal to preserve the power contained in the treasure began to be lifted.

***

Zhuge Miryeong, who came out of the Cheongbong Secret Service, cleared his throat.

“Uh.. Girl King?”
“···Why are you doing that?”

The old beggar answered with a bewildered look on his face. Zhuge Mi-ryeong said in a worried tone.

“Are you feeling unwell? “Your complexion was a little off earlier.”
“It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”

When she hesitates.

“The old Yeongtaeng is the main agent. I thought it was strange since he didn’t go to the desert and forced me to follow him. Was it just because of the woman? “You have to know the topic.”

Suddenly, someone jumped out of thin air.

It was a man wrapped in black cloth from head to toe. He was the master of the dark sword, known as the hidden sword of the Murim Alliance.

When Geolwang saw him, he shouted.

“What···? You fucking bastard! What’s wrong with me! There is no hero like me! “I am the Ark of Openness!”

“Tsk. If you give me an ark, you’re a beggar after all. Do you think a beauty like Seonja Cheongwol would even pay attention to you? At the very least, you should wear decent clothes. “How many years have you been wearing those clothes with so many holes in them?”

“…If I were to become an ark and go around wearing new clothes, what kind of beggar would follow me?”

The Dark Sword Master shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, I admit to your frugality. Still, I have to give up the idea of ​​meeting a girl. “If you have a conscience.”

“Tsk..”

The old beggar kept his mouth shut. He could not bear to answer and lowered his head. He was convinced in his heart.

Zhuge Mi-ryeong, who was standing between the Hwa-gyeong masters and only observing her, smiled awkwardly.

“Ahaha… But wasn’t Seon Cheongwol not allowed to leave the village? “Earlier, she asked me to go to Qingfeng Mountain with her, so I was a little embarrassed.”

The Great Lord of the Dark Sword answered her question.

“Perhaps he has risen to the level and is free from restrictions.”
“Yes···?”

“Senior Qingyue saw right through my secret techniques. “They say she’s half-hearted, but of course you can’t trust the rumors.”

“Ah.. So the poet’s expression was not good at first.”
“Hmm.”

As the Dark Sword Master took the form with her solemn face, the Geolwang clicked her tongue.

“Sickness. If she gets caught, she’ll jump out. What were you doing hiding and only hurting Seonja’s feelings? “Didn’t the atmosphere just get worse because of you?”

The strength returned to the old beggar’s voice. He has recovered a little from the sorrow of a broken heart that ended in her unrequited love.

“···Do not show your face to outsiders. “It’s the regulations of the National Medical Examination University.”
“Damn. “Since when did she follow the rules so well?”

The King of Geols was sarcastic, but the Great Lord of Dark Swords had a calm expression.

“I haven’t lived roughly like you. “I always followed the rules.”

The dark sword master stroked the hilt of her sword. He said while glaring at the Cheongbong emissary with his bewildered eyes.

“It’s such a shame… That I never got to share a sword with such an expert.”

“Get rid of that useless greed. “It’s frustrating that the guy named Amgeom can’t fight.”

“Do you know how I spent my whole life hiding in the shadows, unable to reveal my name? “Even if you don’t understand, don’t criticize me.”

“···It’s a plague.”

The Hwagyeong masters who were glaring at each other jerked their heads. In that awkward atmosphere, only Zhuge Miryeong was sweating profusely.

“Well, let’s go to Cheongbong Mountain quickly. With a little research, you’ll be able to find out what the Blood Cult is up to. “It’s more suspicious here than in the desert.”

***

A small room in Mokgido.

Si-woo, sitting cross-legged, looked into space.

– Possessed Karma: 1,076,103

Meanwhile, over 5,000 more karmas had accumulated. I was happily thinking about how to use this.

‘The goal is Hyeon-kyung.’

According to what I have found out so far, ultimately, training one’s mind is the way to attain enlightenment.

‘How do I do it…’

By using karma, you could take your mind to a new level.

[Myeongjyeongsu(明鏡止水) – Iron Blood(鐵血)]: 1,000,000 Karma
-You can always keep your cool.

Because it was a brief explanation, it was a more powerful skill.

Besides this, there were many other skills. It seemed like if I used karma well, I could ignore all the miscellaneous worries and achieve a single thought.

‘But is it possible to transform the mind so easily?’

I felt reluctant for some reason. This was different from a mental protection skill that simply prevented mental contamination.

‘I changed my mind, is that really me?’

After thinking about it, I shook my head.

Fortunately, there were other sound methods. It’s about training your body.

‘A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.’

It was a simple, but eternal truth.

[Body Strengthening – Super Ultimate]: 1,000,000 Karma
– All the abilities of the body overcome the wall. Applies to all living beings.

A million karmas. When I first saw it, I was wondering how I was going to put this together, but before I knew it, it was all together.

I nodded as I read the explanation. I bought it without hesitation.

Pop!

“Ah!”

The body crossed the wall with the sound of bones. A cool feeling of pleasure spreads throughout my body.

I was given an extreme body that would have reached the point of destruction even if it had been given to an ordinary person. If I had done it myself, the arduous training that would have taken decades was completed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, I climbed one step. It was literally a miracle.

“Whoa…”

Vitality surges. It felt like I could crush a mountain with my bare fists. I enjoyed the joy of becoming a superior being.

The desire to fight a strong enemy immediately arose.

‘···Let’s calm down.’

I closed my eyes and meditated. I had no intention of being swayed by the body. There was no force that could not be completely controlled.

I calmed my mind and took a deep breath.

How much time has passed? As I slowly opened my eyes, a clearer world greeted me.

‘Hmm···?’

Is it because my senses have gone up to the next level? Hidden places that were previously invisible are visible.

Between space and space.

I felt something beyond the rock wall. It was presumed that it was probably arranged by Mokgido.

‘···Let’s go.’

I was planning to control my mind through meditation for 15 days, but I put it off for a while.

When I placed my palm on the rocky wall, it passed smoothly. After walking a few steps, a cramped room appeared. It was a warehouse-like space less than 1 pyeong in size.

‘I really… I hid it like this so you wouldn’t have to know how to find this place.’

It was a little absurd.

I have much more sensitive senses than the average Hwa-kyung. However, it was so secret that I only realized it now.

‘…I wonder if there were any other hints.’

When I thought about it, there was no guarantee that all of Mogido’s arrangements would be in order. If a letter lost over time had told me about this place, I might not have known about it.

‘But.’

Anyway, what is important is what is left here.

I quickly scanned the room. The warehouse was empty, so there was no need to search.

Just like that.

The only object placed on a small table. I picked up the dusty metal bracelet.

‘···It’s a primitive artifact. Does it work?’

When I checked the energy, there was a weak reaction. It may have been several centuries since it was made, but it is still not broken.

‘That’s amazing.’

This level of durability is not easy even for modern artifacts.

I have felt this for a long time, but Mo Yi-do, the founder of Honwon Qigong, was secretly talented. To create an artifact of this level in a world without alchemy.

‘What kind of artifact does this do?’

Curiosity arose. I grabbed the bracelet that was spinning and pushed it in.
