Chapter 64

 

 

There was a power that came from unwavering confidence without even the slightest tremor.

Jung Myeong, who possessed this quality, shone even brighter.

Based on this foundation, he moved swiftly.

 

-I would like to join.

-If that is your intention… we must work together time and again!

-Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

-Finally…! Finally I can focus solely on medical treatment.

 

Starting with Ban Gun-hak, physicians with similar intentions gathered.

Seventy percent were those with noble intentions but who had been crushed by reality.

Ten percent were those who had the skills as physicians but didn’t know how to operate a medical clinic.

The remaining twenty percent were filled by those who had never had the chance to display their goodwill.

Thus, the number of physicians who joined reached eleven.

 

‘I was able to gather more than I thought.’

 

Considering that he had originally intended to gather around five.

This number was double that.

Even physicians from small medical clinics tended to keep disciples under them. Except for special cases like Ban So-hye, their numbers were quite substantial.

Taking these into account, the number of people he had brought in this time reached dozens.

Far more people had gathered than planned.

Nevertheless, Jung Myeong had no hesitation.

With confidence, he expanded the work even further.

 

“Are you really saying it’s alright to open a medical clinic in this location?”

“Yes. We’ll do some construction for expansion and others will join us, but it’s definitely possible.”

“Huh… Can you handle the operating costs? Even if we save as much as possible, running a medical clinic is…”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Ah, you’ll also need to sell some of the medicines we bring you.”

“That’s only natural! But is it really okay for you to show such consideration?”

“What wouldn’t be okay about it? We just need to establish the name Jeongjin Medical Clinic together.”

“Thank you!”

 

His location was at the border between Inhwa and Jeondang County.

He also opened a small branch at the edge, leaning toward Inhwa County.

This was consideration for patients who couldn’t make it from the end of Inhwa County to the Jeongjin Medical Clinic at the border.

At the same time, it was punishment directed at the medical clinic in Inhwa County that had tried to check him.

A measure he couldn’t have taken in the past.

However, Jung Myeong was confident.

 

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect goodwill.’

 

There was no need for everything to be perfect.

Even if imperfect, wouldn’t it be fine to approach completion?

This realization he had embodied in his own way.

This wasn’t just self-consolation.

This was the foundation that would lead him to the super peak level,

and at the same time, it established a value system.

It meant he had found a piece that would lead him toward completion as himself.

Considering that the super peak level itself was a realm where one’s will was manifested outwardly.

Such change was at a level that could be called delightful.

He moved forward with that confidence.

 

 

* * *

 

 

[Jeongjin Medical Clinic Inhwa Branch]

[Jeongjin Medical Clinic Jeondang Branch]

 

A total of two branches were created, one each in Inhwa County and Jeondang County.

New physicians also settled in Jung Myeong’s medical clinic in the middle.

It meant he was now operating three medical clinics simultaneously.

 

“Physician. How about making a formal contract with Baekyang Escort Agency at this opportunity?”

“A contract?”

“Yes. Our medicinal herb purchases have increased significantly, haven’t they? I think it would be good to make a formal contract accordingly.”

“What about the existing herb gatherers?”

“It would be good to absorb them.”

“Absorb them?”

“Yes. There are no other experts on medicinal herbs like them, so how about having them take charge of the medicine storage room entirely?”

“That’s a good idea!”

 

He brought the existing herb gatherers into the medicine storage room.

He hired workers who would serve as his hands and feet.

Naturally, the scale grew even larger.

 

“We’ll need to install formations again.”

“Are you displeased about that?”

“Not at all. I’m always happy to install formations. If I disliked it, would I have become a formation master?”

“Haha. That’s true too.”

 

Accordingly, the formations continued to expand.

This was for security. It was an obsession that could be called pathological.

 

‘It’s better to do it than not to do it.’

 

Jung Myeong spared no money or effort for this.

 

“However…”

“Hmm?”

“I know you’re busy, but you’ll need to participate in some of it. When creating large-scale formations, there will be new things for you to learn.”

“If that’s the case, I absolutely must participate.”

“Will that be alright?”

“I absolutely have to do it!”

 

Though this added unexpected hardships as well.

Jung Myeong gladly participated.

 

‘I’m so busy that my body isn’t enough.’

 

The expansion of the medical clinic. Formation installation. Excluding these, what remained was one thing: martial art training.

Having consolidated his enlightenment, he finally succeeded in creating Sword Gang.

Gooooooo-

 

“Good.”

 

The materialized Sword Gang before his eyes was clearly visible.

Its size was one cheok even after enveloping the sword.

It was so clear that it was hard to believe he had just created Sword Gang.

If he used his full power, it was possible to extend its length beyond one jang, but Jung Myeong didn’t become greedy for this.

 

‘I learned that by emptying a part rather than filling everything, it becomes filled instead, so is there a need to forcibly increase the size?’

 

Rather than forcibly enlarging it.

And rather than pursuing only perfection.

Moving toward completeness amidst incompleteness.

It was a leisurely attitude shown because he realized that emptiness is filling.

 

“Interesting.”

 

Having gained leisure, his emotional expressions also increased unlike before.

His face, showing a big smile, also displayed great satisfaction.

 

‘Very satisfying.’

 

Sword Energy, then Sword Intent. After Sword Intent, Sword Gang.

Though it was a well-known sequence, actually materializing it was a completely different story.

Even if the path to break through the wall was visible, since Jung Myeong couldn’t receive secret techniques about it, he had no choice but to advance without shortcuts.

Having broken through that path, it was natural for him to rejoice.

He had no intention of monopolizing this joy and leisure alone.

 

‘The physicians accomplished greater things by increasing their numbers, so would Martial Artists be any different?’

 

Jung Myeong finished his personal training.

He immediately went outside to what he called the outer courtyard.

 

“You’ve arrived!”

“We’ve been waiting, Physician!”

 

Song In and the guards who had been waiting for him.

 

“Come, let’s do this all at once.”

“Yes!”

 

He gave them teachings as well.

Kwagagagagagak-! Kwaaaaang!

 

“Kueup…”

“Kut…”

 

Even if the method was somewhat rough, it was a continuous training that everyone without exception was satisfied with.

 

 

* * *

 

 

Growth as both a physician and a Martial Artist. In addition to this, the growth of his forces also accelerated.

 

‘Preparations are also proceeding steadily. The important thing is time.’

 

Here, he also calmly prepared to finally deliver a proper final blow to the medical clinics.

Thus, even while melting away time, he didn’t forget his essence.

 

“Physician, there’s a patient.”

“Bring them in.”

“Yes.”

 

Medical treatment.

Recently, the patients he treated were usually divided into two types.

First were Martial Artists that ordinary physicians found difficult to handle. Second were severely injured patients that physicians found burdensome to treat.

 

‘A Martial Artist?’

 

This time seemed to be the former. The energy felt through Ki Sensing was intense.

 

‘Hmm? But it’s an energy I’ve felt somewhere before?’

 

However, the energy wasn’t unfamiliar.

While wondering who it was, someone with a gentle impression entered inside.

Wearing Martial Artist robes, he had a robust physique unlike his appearance.

Seeing him, Jung Myeong flinched.

Because it was actually someone he knew.

 

‘Huh? Did he come to play some interesting prank?’

 

However, his attire was different from what he knew.

That person originally wasn’t someone who would wear clothes mainly worn by Martial Artists.

 

‘I should play along.’

 

Jung Myeong thought so and.

Proceeded with the medical treatment.

 

“You seem to have managed yourself well usually, as there don’t appear to be any major problems. However, you seem to have muscle pain, so please lie down.”

 

The other party wasn’t even suffering from any illness.

The degree of muscle tension is evidence that the person before me has not neglected his training.

 

‘The pressure points are concentrated in the upper body.’

 

The stagnant blood was concentrated in the upper body.

It was clear that using a massive weapon had put great pressure on the upper body.

 

“You use your upper body, but you should also train your lower body evenly to maintain balance.”

“I see. Is my lower body lacking?”

“Isn’t lacking a relative thing? I can see you put in more effort than others, but you simply need more.”

“Relative… That’s true. Hehe. Lower body… An interesting assignment has come up.”

 

Jung Myeong performed acupuncture while also adding explanations about training.

Discussing training with a martial artist could be considered rude.

However, the other person seemed pleased with his advice and showed a warm smile.

 

Sizzle-

The moxibustion placed after acupuncture burned completely, and the treatment time came to an end.

As Jung Myeong was finishing the treatment.

The man before him suddenly asked.

 

“Aren’t you curious why I came here? You’re not pretending to know?”

“I thought you enjoyed traveling incognito, so I was playing along?”

 

The other person burst into laughter at the word incognito.

 

“Incognito? Hahaha. That’s an amusing way to put it.”

“Do you have business here?”

“Indeed. Let’s just say I changed my attire because I didn’t want to attract too much attention.”

 

The person who came disguised as a martial artist. His true identity was quite unexpected.

 

“Wouldn’t your bearing show even if the Provincial Commander changed his attire?”

“Those who would recognize me will recognize me. But isn’t it important that only those who should know, know?”

“So you’re satisfied that your visit to my medical clinic won’t become big news.”

“Indeed.”

 

The question that had been bothering him was quickly resolved.

Though he had acted like a martial artist.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of greatly hiding his visit.

 

‘Should I consider this some kind of signal?’

 

Someone of the Provincial Commander’s rank doesn’t move easily.

The person before him was even more so.

Look at the traces of training hidden behind his gentle appearance.

I had thought he looked bulky because of his military uniform.

But his actual physique itself was extraordinary.

 

‘He’s been doing training close to asceticism until recently. At the same time, while in the military command, he’s even aiming for higher positions…’

 

He was like a monster.

Such a person had come here while moderately drawing attention.

It wouldn’t be far-fetched for Jung Myeong to think there was another meaning.

 

‘Since he came here… others might think I’ve aligned myself with the Provincial Commander.’

 

His visit itself would be a kind of signal to others.

Especially those in charge of administration or judiciary might think he was under the Provincial Commander.

 

‘Well, it doesn’t matter for now?’

 

It wasn’t a pleasant thing.

But it couldn’t be seen as particularly harmful either.

The more connections Jung Myeong had, the more it could harm the Provincial Commander.

Since he was looking upward, he wouldn’t want to be caught up in any trouble.

 

‘He’ll handle himself appropriately.’

 

So it wouldn’t be particularly problematic.

The problem was the purpose of his visit.

 

‘What could it be?’

 

How could such a busy person come all the way here?

He would surely bring up something unexpected.

 

“Someone as busy with official duties as yourself must have a reason for coming here?”

“Of course there is. Hehe.”

“May I hear what it is right away?”

“You never beat around the bush, do you? I was planning to do just that anyway. Could you accept a request?”

“A request, you say?”

“Yes. A request.”

 

A request.

Indeed. He had brought something unexpected.
