Chapter 94. Three Pure Infinite (4)

“Huff, huff. Huh? What! Where did you go… why is your belly like that?”

“I went to eat.”

“Did you devour an entire bear or something?”

“I did eat something made by a bear.”

Moyong Su Hyang looked at Moyong Bi’s belly with an incredulous expression.

His protruding stomach was no different from someone about to give birth.

“Hey, can you even train with a body like that? Even for a pig, this is too much, isn’t it?”

“I’m excluded from training today.”

“What?”

“You and the Fire Sword Group are doing fine on your own, aren’t you? What’s the problem?”

When he put it that way, there was nothing more to say.

Moyong Bi flicked Moyong Su Hyang’s nose with his finger as she hesitated.

“Ow!”

“I’m going to Elder Sister.”

“What, right now?”

“If you’re frustrated, build up more skill.”

“Die!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

She instantly unleashed the Eight Fists Twelve Kicks, but Moyong Bi dodged all those fierce punches and kicks.

Moyong Su Hyang fumed with anger.

She didn’t expect him to just stand there and take it, but the way he avoided all those attacks while walking away with his back turned was infuriatingly annoying enough to make her want to kill him.

“Just wait until later!”

“Sure.”

Passing by the spirited youngest great grand nephew today as well, he walked toward the courtyard in front of the Family Head’s Office.

It wasn’t spacious, but it was still large enough to serve as a training space for one person.

And there, Guo Lao and Dark Shadow were present.

“Young Master.”

Guo Lao’s respectful greeting looked almost like he was having an audience with a king.

Dark Shadow, who had been sweating profusely, also bowed his head deeply.

A smile naturally appeared on Moyong Bi’s face.

“Is it going well?”

“Yes. This fellow’s concentration is extraordinary. Teaching him is quite rewarding.”

“Guo Lao seems to have gained some edge too?”

It was true.

Though his legs were in such a state that physical training was impossible for now, he was gradually awakening his stiffened body with powerful internal energy.

His standing posture was no different from before, but there was a subtle presence about him.

Strong but not intimidating, never weak nor easy to handle.

Like water filled to perfectly match the shape and size of a cup.

“I’ll examine your body later.”

“Thank you.”

Dark Shadow glanced between the two men.

Though he was called a servant, the relationship seemed too respectful to be simply that of a young master and servant.

‘He wouldn’t show this much courtesy even before the Martial Alliance Leader.’

Then, Moyong Bi spoke with a serious expression.

“I’ve brought my physical condition to its maximum. Honestly, I wondered if it would be possible before the tournament, but since I focused properly, it’s not bad.”

“You’ve definitely put on weight. How is your condition?”

“Good. I thought it might strain my internal organs, but this body has good compatibility with the Honyuan Heart Method.”

“That’s fortunate. Then… what shall we start with?”

“Three Pure.”

Dark Shadow tilted his head. Three Pure? What was that?

Excitement stirred on Guo Lao’s face.

“Are you finally going for it?”

“It’s martial arts that only I can learn anyway.”

“I see.”

Both the Three Pure Formula and Forbidden Demon Formula were too high-level for the Moyong sisters to learn.

Maybe later, but right now they couldn’t learn them even if they died trying. Especially in Moyong Su Hyang’s case, it would be much better to cultivate the True Dragon Dance as is.

“I’ll go inform the Family Head.”

“Alright, then I’ll prepare myself.”

Moyong Bi sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.

He instantly focused on energy cultivation. Entering cultivation before counting to three – it was terrifying concentration.

As Dark Shadow clicked his tongue in amazement, Guo Lao headed to the Family Head’s Office.

A moment later.

Guo Lao came out with Moyong Su Jeong.

Wooooong.

A barely audible resonance spread from Moyong Bi’s body.

A sound that could only be heard by those whose senses had been sharpened by internal energy.

Admiration arose on Guo Lao’s face.

‘Truly remarkable.’

Even someone who had mastered almost all of the Moyong Family’s martial arts could never fully manifest enlightenment if their body was in such a state.

But in less than a month, seeing him draw upon the essence of the Honyuan Heart Method to activate his body, he was indeed someone who transcended common sense.

‘I’m already looking forward to it, Immortal Master Yi.’

Surprisingly, Moyong Bi’s belly had already flattened back to normal. He had accelerated his metabolism several times over with the Honyuan Heart Method.

Was that why? Moyong Bi’s face seemed particularly smooth.

‘His mastery of qi is on a different level. Even with my current abilities, I couldn’t raise my metabolism that quickly.’

Though it was only for a brief moment, looking at Moyong Bi’s face now, he didn’t even seem thin.

A perfectly pleasant-looking face.

Moyong Su Jeong was also greatly surprised.

“Bi Ah has put on quite a bit of weight.”

“He seems to have eaten a lot on purpose to build up energy.”

“Gaining weight easily means he’s become that much healthier, right?”

“Of course.”

It wasn’t just healthy.

The level of freely controlling even the body’s metabolic capabilities. Perhaps even a hundred poisons might not work on his current body.

“But his energy cultivation is taking longer than expected.”

“Pardon?”

“Somehow I thought Bi Ah would be able to finish his cultivation much faster.”

Guo Lao looked at Moyong Su Jeong with a strange expression.

‘She holds him in high regard.’

The subject of worry had somehow become a subject of trust.

Moyong Su Jeong seemed to believe in her younger brother’s abilities more than anyone.

‘Eldest Miss. If you knew Young Master’s, no, Immortal Master Yi’s true abilities, your current amazement wouldn’t even count as amazement.’

A moment later.

“Whew.”

Moyong Bi, having finished his energy circulation, opened his eyes.

His gaze was calm.

“It’s finished.”

“Yes.”

Moyong Su Jeong handed over the silk pouches she had been holding in both hands.

“Take it.”

Moyong Bi carefully received the silk pouch.

When he brought it from the An Family, it was one of several means to prepare the family for emergencies, but now it was different.

The Tae Cheong Sin Dan had become mine, not Su Jeong’s.

If Su Jeong had taken it, I would have stayed by her side all day to help her manage her qi properly. It was something that required that much attention.

But now that it had become mine, I was just as concerned about it.

‘With this one spiritual medicine, I can regain a solid and perfect foundation.’

Moyong Su Jeong smiled.

“Are you ready?”

“Ready?”

Moyong Bi immediately emptied the pouch, took out the Tae Cheong Sin Dan, and swallowed it in one gulp.

“That was finished long ago.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Moyong Bi closed his eyes and recited the incantation of the Three Pure Infinite True Formula.

It hadn’t been that long, yet it felt both familiar and strange, as if he were learning it again after decades.

Whoooong.

The deep fragrance left behind by the Tae Cheong Sin Dan filled the rear garden.

Even though it had only been exposed to the outside world for a brief moment, the scent was intense. But it wasn’t a burdensome fragrance.

A comfortable scent that one would want to smell anytime.

Just smelling the fragrance made one feel as if their internal power would increase and their body would improve.

Dark Shadow’s eyes widened.

‘It’s a spiritual medicine!’

Whoong! Whoong!

Several streams of wind burst from Moyong Bi’s body, swept in all directions, then returned to their master.

It seemed as if they were trying to bring back even all the fragrance of the Tae Cheong Sin Dan that had spread throughout the area.

Yet there was no feeling of greed at all. Rather, it felt like things were going where they originally belonged.

The natural flow inherent in the martial arts itself.

Moyong Su Jeong and Dark Shadow instinctively felt it.

That Moyong Bi was drawing a completely different sword than before.

Tssssss.

As time passed, something invisible seemed to rise from his body.

Even the two people with good intuition didn’t know what it was.

But Guo Lao knew.

‘It’s immortal qi!’

The transformation of medicinal qi into immortal qi.

The Taoist divine art that discussed the pinnacle of Jianghu met with the spiritual medicine of the Wudang Sect, called the greatest of Taoism.

The change was both natural and swift.

Whoooooong!

Invisible clouds repeatedly seeped into Moyong Bi’s entire body through his pores and then emerged again.

Amazingly, the qi gradually began to take on color as the entry and exit repeated.

Moyong Su Jeong’s eyes widened.

‘Light green?’

It was different.

It seemed like light green, but from another angle, it also seemed blue like the sea.

The color of the cloud-like aura rotating around Moyong Bi’s body was changing in real time. Green-blue aura—just looking at it made one’s heart peaceful and brought natural smiles.

A moment later.

Woooong!

The green-blue cloud, which had reached extremely high density, covered Moyong Bi’s entire body.

Only Moyong Bi’s face was visible beyond the cloud.

Drip.

Red sweat like red bean porridge flowed down from Moyong Bi’s forehead.

Moyong Su Jeong unconsciously flinched.

“It’s alright, Family Head.”

Guo Lao whispered in a small voice.

“It’s the process of turbid qi accumulated from cooked food and residue remaining in the meridians being expelled as sweat.”

Drip! Drip drip!

So much sweat flowed that at a glance, Moyong Bi’s face seemed covered in blood.

But his expression was peaceful, and the rotating cloud-form qi was so elegant that one couldn’t think it was dangerous at all.

“What is that aura with gradually increasing density?”

“The spiritual medicine and Young Master’s true energy have met and emerged as immortal qi.”

“Immortal qi?”

“To accumulate medicinal qi in the body without wasting it in empty air, one must transform it to suit one’s own body. But Young Master’s method goes beyond that level.”

“…?!”

“To convert all the aura of the spiritual medicine into internal energy, he is consuming even his originally possessed Primordial True Energy to subjugate the medicinal qi.”

“…It seems like an extremely difficult task.”

“It’s a method that cannot be easily attempted without Young Master’s level of qigong ability.”

“Is this a method you taught him, Guo Lao?”

He was about to say no, but then just smiled silently.

Moyong Su Jeong, taking that smile as affirmation, looked at her younger brother with a proud face.

‘He’s truly amazing.’

Even if someone taught him, without the ability, one couldn’t freely handle a spiritual medicine like the Tae Cheong Sin Dan. Hadn’t she herself not looked forward to a year?

‘Bi Ah, hang in there.’

The amount of sweat flowing gradually increased.

The abundantly rising green-blue cloud-form qi also increased.

And the moment the cloud-form qi covered Moyong Bi’s entire body.

Whoop!

All that aura seeped into Moyong Bi’s nose.

Tssssss.

With an intense resonance, the world changed.

Moyong Su Jeong’s eyes widened.

‘What is this?’

Was it a dream or a hallucination?

The surroundings had completely transformed into a forest.

A forest thick with green foliage. Tree branches swayed in the gently blowing wind, and deer and rabbits grazed here and there.

The chirping of birds was no less than a famous singer’s song, and the rare flowers and plants raising their heads throughout the forest were reminiscent of an immortal realm.

A world full of nature’s blessings.

Truly, if one lived in such a place, it seemed one could spend each day happily without worries or concerns for a lifetime.

‘This is….’

Moyong Su Jeong realized it. The meaning of this fantasy-like scene.

‘This is the natural qi that the Tae Cheong Sin Dan contains.’

And.

Whoooosh!

The dream-like world was quickly erased.

“Gasp!”

She instantly returned to reality.

Looking around, Moyong Su Jeong was startled. The position of the shadows cast on the buildings had changed quite a bit.

“Th-this is?”

“Another hour has passed.”

Guo Lao smiled.

“Young Master’s qi circulation is reaching its final stage.”

She turned her gaze to Moyong Bi.

Surprisingly, the sweat that had covered Moyong Bi’s face disappeared as if washed away. There was no trace that he had sweated at all.

However, his entire body was filled with a gentle light.

An aura that was not burdensome, yet bright and sacred.

Moyong Su Jeong unconsciously swallowed her saliva.

A moment later.

Whoosh!

The radiant light also disappeared as if washed away.

“Hup!”

Moyong Bi, who had taken a deep breath, opened his eyes.

Flash!

Divine light flashed from his two eyes.

Though he possessed abundant and natural energy, his gaze conveyed a terrifying dominance as if he could place the entire world beneath his feet.

Moyong Bi smiled.

“It’s done.”

One of Martial Alliance Leader Moyong Cheon’s substitution arts.

The Infinite True Qi of the Three Pure Formula had finally returned to his embrace.
