Episode 539Strong self-respect (7)
The next day, Yeon Ho-jeong immediately felt Makwonâs pulse.
âhmm.â
âDo you understand? âWhat kind of poison is it?â
Yeon Ho-jeong answered, letting go of Makwonâs pulse.
âAs I said then, I donât know exactly what kind of poison it is. âBut I can tell what type it is.â
âThat alone is somewhere. âYou are truly a great person.â
Makwon was quite surprised.
The three religions were an unknown group living outside Saegui.
Different lands have different climates and different foods. This is because the environment is different.
Naturally, if the environment is different, the wild plants and animals are also different. In other words, no matter how well you knew the poisons of the central plains, you could not know the poisons of the outside world well.
Yeon Ho-jeong knows the type of poison that is impossible to decipher, not only for the bird, but also for himself as a member of the three armies.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised by Mak Wonâs physical condition.
âThis much is naturalâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Makwon.
âItâs truly an amazing martial arts skill.â
The opportunity to trace the pulse of an absolute expert who has overcome the limit does not come easily.
Yeon Ho-jeong was able to see, one by one, how solid and vast the map of Makwon was.
âItâs amazing. It is a different level from Yang Buju. The superiority and inferiority of martial arts are clearly divided, but the martial arts that one has achieved is comparable to that of fighting kings.â
In the past, he also traced the pulse of Yangcheon.
I was very surprised even then. In fact, I have reached this level myself, but the process of getting there is completely different for each person.
In other words, Yeon Ho-jeong was already able to check the skills of the two Seongcheon-level powerhouses and discover traces of how they reached the peak.
Of course, following it did not mean that one could instantly realize the state of no polarity. But that alone could be of great help.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he pondered each and every map drawn by Makwon Gimaek.
âIt is a type of neurotoxin. âItâs fortunate for you.â
âRelief?â
âIf it had been blood poison, even you wouldnât have been so fine. âIt is not because of the concentration of poison, but because of the type of poison.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe blood poison in the central plains is divided into two types. âIt can cause extreme blood coagulation or, conversely, interfere with natural blood coagulation.â
âHuh.â
âYou suffered serious internal injuries. There was also severe internal bleeding. âIf there had been even one attack of this severe blood poison, my internal organs would have festered one by one.â
The organs fester one by one.
Even for the best expert in the world, a festering wound is fatal. In particular, if organs that cannot recover, such as the kidneys or lungs, fester, you will have to live with a disability for the rest of your life even if the poison is removed later.
âOf course, due to the nature of blood poison, it is difficult to combine it into a highly concentrated poison. âIt is no exaggeration to say that in the Central Powers, except for the party, there is no group capable of creating extreme blood poison.â
âThatâs a good thing.â
âyes. But just because itâs a neurotoxin doesnât mean itâs not dangerous. âHe was a senior, so I endured it. Even a master of his caliber would have been in a serious position by now.â
âIn normal cases, internal energy is transmitted to each part of the human body through the nerves. âI think thatâs probably the case with almost all the inner gongsim laws that exist in the world.â
âThatâs right. So, my senior is safe. âBecause every single nerve is protected by absolute inner strength.â
âI know what you mean. However, not only my inner energy extends to this nerve, but also miasma also extends. And the source of that poison is my Danjeon. âUnless I remove the poisonous essence that has settled in my Danjeon, my body will gradually die.â
âThat is an accurate judgment.â
Makwonâs face became serious.
âHow is it? âCan you pull it out?â
Surprisingly, Yeon Ho-jeong nodded as if it was natural.
âI can pull it out.â
âOh, Iâm glad.â
âIt is possible to pull them out, but the problem is that you can get hurt in the process.â
âAre you hurt?â
âYou may lose some of your inner strength forever.â
It was quite a shocking story.
âOf course, itâs just my guess. To begin with, my knowledge of pharmacology is not that deep. âI only know a little about it because I have studied the poisons of the three religions.â
âHow many people in the Central Plains and Heaven and Earth have studied the poisons of the Three Religions?â
ââ¦Hardly any.â
âYou are probably the only one.â
âMaybe.â
âIf someone who is familiar with the poisons of the three religions says that, it would be the same no matter which doctor comes.â
Makwonâs expression wasnât as bad as I thought.
âWhat is it like? Even if I lose some of my inner energy, it doesnât mean that my enlightenment disappears. Wouldnât it be a profitable business if such a dangerous poison could be removed for that much of a price?â
Do you have extraordinary mental strength?
Yes. Makwon was a person with strong mental strength who did not lose his composure even when he heard something that could be shocking to Muin.
But it wasnât just a matter of mental strength.
For a master who had broken through the limit, losing some of his inner strength was not that big of a deal. Even if they lost one-third of their inner strength, they were the masters of martial arts who could regain their original strength within a few years.
However, not everyone can be as calm as Makwon. In any case, inner strength is the source of strength. How great would the sense of loss be if you think that in the past you could use the power of ten, but now you can only use the power of seven.
âIf we find a way to get rid of tyranny without losing internal strength, we may be able to find it.â
âIt will take time.â
âMaybe.â
âAs time goes by, the miasma will expand, and the amount of energy I will ultimately lose will increase, right?â
âI guess so. âItâs just a guess.â
Makwon chuckled. Seará´h the novÑlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âThere is no reason to worry. Just figure out a way. âIâll pull it out right away.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
âWhatever the reason, I am also responsible for allowing the poison to deepen to that point.â
âThere is no need to bring up the past. âThe important thing is now.â
âyouâre right. However, he will be a valuable troop in the future war, so we should try our best.â
âThen what if the placenta loses its internal strength?â
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
âIf the situation is like that, we will ask the Vice Lord or the Murim Alliance to procure elixirs and try to restore it as much as possible.â
âThis guy. âIâm not bragging, but if itâs half of my strength, it wonât be possible to fill it all even if I take ten pills of Shaolinâs Great Hwandan.â
If we simply consider the amount of energy, the power of ten Daehwandan pills is more than enough to overwhelm half of the inner power of Makwon.
However, the more advanced a person is and the more refined his or her power is used, the less effective the elixir will be.
When you are in the lower level, you can absorb all the medicinal power of a single pill, but as the level of internal energy increases, the amount that can be absorbed gradually decreases.
âPlease wait a few days first. âIâm just saying the worst case scenario, and a poison expertâs perspective may be different.â
âIf you really say that, I understand.â
âPlease do your best to fly until I see you again. âThat alone will be enough to prevent the spread of miasma.â
âThatâs right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong came out of Makwonâs residence and immediately looked for the white paper.
âI need to send a letter to the Murim Alliance.â
âWhat kind of letter can I send?â
âPlease ask Uiseonggakju Ki Woo-hee to be dispatched to Honam. Whatever you do, I will write it down.â
âIf itâs such a simple letter, Iâll write it from here and deliver it right away.â
âThank you. And please tell me this too.â
The letter Yeon Ho-jeong took out from her pocket was in a green envelope.
White Paperâs eyes lit up.
âDangaju?â
âYou must be in the Murim Alliance. âI need to find out more about senior Mak Wonâs poison.â
âI understand.â
âthen.â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
The white paper said:
âAdjutant Yeon.â
âDo you have anything to say?â
âI donât know if thereâs any need to tell you, but it looks like youâre looking for the adjutant that Princess Lee opened earlier.â
âOh really?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âI understand. âThank you.â
âAnd Deputy Yeon.â
White Paperâs eyes deepened.
âIf possible, donât cause an accident.â
âDo you know what kind of troublemaker I am? Donât worry. âI donât plan on doing that either.â
âThen Iâm glad.â
âBut the vice-lord may think differently.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âIâm just saying. âIâll just go.â
Just like that, Yeon Ho-jeong left Baek Seoâs residence.
Baekseo muttered softly as he watched Yeonhojeongâs back moving away.
âAs expected, he is a dangerous man.â
Purr purr.
The cave wall opened and the cool outside air soaked my lungs.
Yeon Ho-jeong left the Mukryongbu and headed to the place the maid told him about. It was a forest located southeast of the entrance to Mukryongbu.
And there was a barge there.
âYou were looking for me?â
âDeputy Yeon.â
âFor some reason, Princess Lee, whose construction work will be ruined, was looking for a way to revive her?â
Buseonâs eyes deepened.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as if looking at her speechless.
âYou missed it.â
âHow did you know?â
âYou can tell that just by looking at the expression.â
ââ¦.â
âDid you train with a priest?â
âI didnât.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âProving your abilities by directly defeating the Great Brother⦠is not an extremely flimsy reason.â
âThe third one is arrogant. My pride is too strong. So, he looks simple and easy to handle, but if he is judged to be weak, he will make all kinds of noise.â
âIt wonât be easy for a person with that level of pettiness to hold down the position of successor without the ability to cook.â
âI just didnât want to worry about a guy I didnât need to worry about. âItâs better to do it myself than to train with a clumsy guy.â
âTo be polite.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âSo why did you call me? If you miss it, you donât have to chase after it and break off its branches.â
He was also good at saying harsh words.
Bu-seon gazed at Yeon-ho-jeong.
âYou know what?â
âwhat?â
âAt times like this, you look even darker than us.â
âI donât know if itâs a compliment or an insult.â
âItâs a compliment. âIâm also jealous.â
âSo what do you have to say?â
âLet me be blunt. When is your next mission?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
âWhat are you going to do with that?â
âIf possible, I also want to step into the next mission.â
ââ¦.â
âCanât we?â
âWhy are you asking me that? Wouldnât it be better to go directly to Master and ask for permission?â
âMaster, you are not the kind of person who cares about such trivial things.â
âWell, he is like that too.â
Yeon Ho-jeong crossed his arms.
âWhy do you want to go on this mission together?â
âIt must be dangerous, right?â
âmission? of course. âIf you make a mistake, your life could be lost.â
âItâs not new.â
âyes. The only problem is that it can be really dangerous. I am on my way to persuade a Seongcheon-level powerhouse. âIf, by chance, a master of his caliber blunders and kills us, none of us will come back alive, right?â
âIâm planning to take my younger brother, who is my sworn brother, and the swordsman of Botaam.â
ââ¦.â
âThere must be a reason, right?â
âokay.â
âI donât know the details, but isnât the main reason why you risk your life to learn about the world?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face became serious.
âThatâs the biggest reason.â
âI want to do that too.â
ââ¦.â
âPlease lead me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Buseon, smiled coldly.
âAs expected, you are still not good enough.â
âyes?â
âWhat will happen to your masterâs reputation if you ask for a favor like that?â
Buseonâs face hardened.
âExcuse me?â
âMaster told you to watch over me?â
Buseonâs eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was examining her eyes, soon smiled and turned around.
âBefore learning about the world, it would be better to take care of yourself. âI still donât have enough discipline.â
âDeputy Yeon. âIâ¦â
âGo catch that clumsy ambassador. âThen I will consider it.â
Sreuk.
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped and looked back at the boat.
Bu-seon flinched at the cold, shiny eyes.
âKeep in mind. âWhy did I give you a chance?â
ââ¦.â
âStrong self-respect is not a rule that only applies to you. Since you come here, donât forget that I too am living by the rules of strong self-respect.â
