Legend of the Evil Martial God

 

Chapter 169

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Dangun offered his opinion.

 

“Then, older brother. How about clothes?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Weapons aren’t bought unless you’re from the martial world, but clothes can’t be avoided since everyone in the world has to wear them, don’t they?”

 

“Ah. But there are so many places that sell clothes.”

 

“Exactly! That’s why we need to differentiate ourselves. What if we made clothes that are luxurious but affordable enough for common people to wear? We could also create some unique designs.”

 

Ha Muhyeon also chimed in with Dangun’s opinion.

 

“That sounds like a good idea. On top of that, if we separately sell clothes with added defensive capabilities for martial artists, wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake?”

 

Ye Yahyeon also joined in.

 

“I think it’s a good idea too. For clothes sold to martial artists, couldn’t we incorporate Dae-hyeong’s formations into the fabric? We could make the technique for engraving formations a trade secret, known only to those specifically in charge of it.”

 

Engraving formations isn’t difficult.

 

No, you just need to create a mold with the formation engraved in it.

 

Then you can make clothes from that mold imbued with defensive power.

 

Clothes, huh.

 

The problem is unit cost and quality.

 

We need to match both the unit cost and the quality.

 

“How many fabric shops are we currently trading with?”

 

“There are several, but if the quality is good, the price is high, and if the price is good, the quality is very low.”

 

At that moment, someone came to mind.

 

Jeok Wigang looked at Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang.

 

“Why are you looking at us with those eyes?”

 

“Baek Ryeongso.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“That guy said he makes clothes.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang looked at each other.

 

Then they waved their hands frantically.

 

“Ah! I’m just saying. Surely, he wouldn’t really be doing it, would he?”

 

“Even if he really is doing it, how pretty could clothes made with those rough hands be?”

 

“He probably gave up long ago and is doing something else.”

 

“You think so? Talking about clothes suddenly reminded me.”

 

“That’s right. I am curious about what that guy is up to these days.”

 

“Could he really be making clothes?”

 

“I’ve never once imagined that guy making clothes…”

 

“I hope he really is making clothes. We might run into him by chance, right?”

 

“Hahaha. That will absolutely never happen.”

 

“You never know what life brings. Anyway, let’s save that story for later and contact Hao Gate to compile a list of decent fabric shops first. And do you have any other good ideas?”

 

“Besides clothes?”

 

“Yeah. We’re a trading company. Are we only going to sell clothes?”

 

“Focusing on one thing isn’t bad either.”

 

“That’s right. If people get the impression that we’re a company specialized in that, won’t they only buy clothes from Jinmu Trading Company?”

 

“No. That’s not enough. We need something else too. Isn’t there some other business? Something that could make the trading company greatly prosper…”

 

At that moment, Jeok Wigang’s eyes caught sight of a bee.

 

A bee diligently moving to carry honey to its residence.

 

Seeing this, Jeok Wigang clapped his hands.

 

“That’s it! That’s the one! Let’s use the escort service to provide fast delivery only for our trading company’s goods.”

 

“What?”

 

Jeok Wigang looked at Jin Muryang and asked.

 

“Your guys are fast with light body technique, right?”

 

“That’s right?”

 

“If we make those guys carry bundles on their backs and use light body technique, how long would it take to go a hundred li?”

 

“A hundred li would normally take about one meal period, right?”

 

“Really? Then delivery within a hundred li radius would be done within one meal period?”

 

“That would be right?”

 

“How far could they go at maximum?”

 

“Hmm. Without overexerting, even a thousand li is possible. But would there be goods needed that urgently?”

 

“There are. Food ingredients can be delivered fresh, and medicinal herbs can be quickly brought to where they’re needed.”

 

“Would the guys be willing to do it?”

 

“They won’t do it for nothing. We need to create competition. We should give rewards to those who achieve excellent results each month, right?”

 

“They won’t move for just any reward.”

 

“Elixirs or weapons that I made.”

 

The eyes of the warriors from the escort service following behind sparkled.

 

Seeing this, Jin Muryang sighed.

 

“Looking at those guys’ reactions, it seems like it’ll work.”

 

When he turned his head to look, they seemed ready to rush out immediately if given the order.

 

Seeing this, Jeok Wigang chuckled and asked.

 

“What do you think? Does it seem feasible?”

 

“Yes! It seems completely feasible!”

 

“I’ll even give Bone Transformation and Body Renewal to whoever achieves the best results.”

 

At those words, he could feel intense heat from behind.

 

Seeing this, Jeok Wigang said to Jin Muryang.

 

“Well, there doesn’t seem to be any need for persuasion. Right?”

 

“Yes. They’d probably crawl there even if their internal power runs out while using Light Body Technique.”

 

“Good! Let’s go and discuss the details.”

 

***

 

Upon arriving at Jinmu Trading Company, Jeok Wigang gathered the leadership and shared his thoughts.

 

“Clothes are a good idea.”

 

“Delivery seems like a good idea too, if we can manage it. However, we’d need a diverse range of items for it to be effective.”

 

“Supplying fresh ingredients doesn’t seem like a bad idea either. It would probably appeal well to wealthy nobles.”

 

“How about delivering alcohol or materials?”

 

Good opinions came from here and there.

 

If this were truly realized, it would bring about a great revolution in the trading company industry.

 

Perhaps they could even become the top trading company in the Central Plains.

 

“Good. But we shouldn’t rush, so let’s first secure business partners. We’ll teach faster Light Body Technique to those who’ll do deliveries and have them practice physical training and delivery in advance.”

 

The leadership nodded their heads.

 

“Then everyone please prepare. I’ll speak to Father myself.”

 

“Understood. Then we’ll look for suitable places.”

 

At that, Jeok Wigang held out a book and said with a grin.

 

“I’ve already found them. Focus your efforts on the places written here.”

 

“What is this?”

 

“It’s a book I had Hao Gate make. Since it was made by none other than Hao Gate, it should be reliable.”

 

When I opened the book, decent shops were all sorted by industry type.

 

To visit all the shops listed inside, there was no time to sit around leisurely like this.

 

“There are many. Everyone, let’s hurry and visit the places written here.”

 

Everyone nodded at Deputy Trading Company Leader Jang Pyeong’s words.

 

Jang Pyeong gave a cupped fist salute to Jeok Wigang and spoke.

 

“You’ve worked hard, Trading Company Leader. To prepare all this while traveling such a long distance. You are the great fortune of our Jinmu Trading Company.”

 

“It’s something I naturally had to do. Come now, let’s all join forces and grow Jinmu Trading Company into the number one trading company in the Central Plains!”

 

“Yes!”

 

***

 

“Did your trip go well?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“You worked hard. I heard the whole story. You received compensation from the Tang Family?”

 

“Yes. I received ten times the compensation.”

 

“Huh. Ten times? Didn’t you receive too much?”

 

“Still, since no one died, I ended it at that level. Otherwise, the Tang Family would have…”

 

He didn’t finish his words, but I could guess what he meant.

 

Probably, the Tang Family’s name would have been erased from the Five Great Families.

 

While thinking that, one person caught my eye.

 

“But who is that young master?”

 

At Jeok Rihyeon’s question, he came forward energetically and introduced himself.

 

“Greetings! I am the Young Family Head of the Tang Family, Tang Un!”

 

“Huh? No… what brings the Young Family Head of the Tang Family here?”

 

“I’ve decided to receive guidance from Older Brother here from now on. I’ll be in your care. Please treat me well.”

 

“Ah…”

 

My lord, you shouldn’t cross that river…

 

Since you followed, is it already too late?

 

I looked at Tang Un with pitying eyes.

 

“Ah! I’ll pay for all the expenses incurred during my stay here.”

 

“Huh? No. Since you came as a guest, we should be the ones hosting you.”

 

That would make me feel more comfortable.

 

They don’t know that the place where they trustingly sent someone else’s precious child is hell, right?

 

“Thank you for welcoming me so warmly.”

 

To hear my words about treating him as meaning welcoming him warmly.

 

I said it out of guilt.

 

Well, good things are good things, so it’s fine if the listener heard it positively.

 

“Right. Think of this as your own house and stay comfortably. If there’s anything inconvenient, tell me anytime.”

 

“Thank you for your consideration.”

 

I should.

 

Consideration.

 

Soon cries of anguish will come from that mouth.

 

I should at least make sure he eats well.

 

“Is Grandfather at the training ground?”

 

“Hm? That’s right. He seems to be enjoying teaching Wiun these days.”

 

“Oh! Is that so?”

 

Jeok Wigang looked at Dang Un and spoke.

 

“I have a younger brother named Jeok Wiun. Come to think of it, you both have ‘Un’ in your names?”

 

“Hahaha! Is that so?”

 

“You’re probably the same age?”

 

“That’s great for me. Coming here, I get to make a friend and gain an older brother too. This place seems perfect for me.”

 

As Dang Un laughed heartily, Jeok Rihyeon muttered inwardly.

 

‘Right. Enjoy yourself to your heart’s content now… Come to think of it, I was forgetting about Father… Poor guy…’

 

Jeok Wigang wasn’t the end of it.

 

Heavenly Martial Emperor Jeok Mugun was waiting.

 

Since he’s someone else’s child, he might be even harsher.

 

Still, the fact that Jeok Wigang brought him as a younger brother must mean he has that much talent, so Father would be satisfied too.

 

“Then I’ll go to the training ground.”

 

“Go ahead. That… Young Family Head of the Dang family…”

 

“Please feel free to call me by my name.”

 

“Right… Assign Un a place to stay in the newly built hall.”

 

At Jeok Rihyeon’s words, Dang Un showed a moved expression.

 

“To think you would care for me this much…. I will serve you like my own father from now on!”

 

“No….”

 

Looking at those sparkling eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.

 

“Th, that’s right….”

 

Jeok Rihyeon had suddenly gained an adopted son from the Tang family.

 

***

 

Kwakwakwang-!

 

Deudeudeudeuk-.

 

Tang Un was startled as the earth suddenly trembled with explosive sounds.

 

He looked around nervously.

 

With such explosive sounds and trembling, there should have been chaos somewhere.

 

But all around was quiet.

 

What?

 

Was I mistaken?

 

The moment he thought that.

 

Kwakwakwang-.

 

The explosive sounds and vibrations came again.

 

Deudeudeudeuk-.

 

When he looked at Jeok Wigang in surprise, he spoke as if it was nothing.

 

“Not bad. To withstand thirty percent of Grandfather’s attack.”

 

Huh?

 

Thirty percent?

 

This tremendous energy was only thirty percent?

 

Tang Un looked at Jeok Wigang with an expression of disbelief.

 

Soon he could see the source of the explosive sounds and vibrations.

 

There was a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, smiling, and a young man in rags who looked like he might collapse at any moment.

 

It was Jeok Mugun and Jeok Wiun.

 

“Hehehe. Not bad indeed. To block my Blue Thunder Flash Wind infused with thirty percent of my power.”

 

“Huff huff… huff…. If I… couldn’t block that, I’d die, you know? Of course… I had to block it…. Huff huff…. I want… to live a long life!”

 

At the end, Jeok Wiun was shouting in frustration, feeling somewhat wronged.

 

“You fool. Do you really think this Grandfather would kill his beloved Grandson? I’m only attacking at a level you can block.”

 

Jeok Wiun thought to himself.

 

If he loved him twice more, he’d really end up killing someone.

 

“Since your Older Brother has returned today, let’s stop here.”

 

When he heard that his older brother had come, he turned his head and saw Jeok Wigang standing there.

 

“When did you arrive?”

 

“You’ve improved a lot?”

 

“If I don’t want to die, I have no choice…”

 

“You must have a strong attachment to life? Seeing how much stronger you’ve become.”

 

“Older Brother… I should at least get married before I die.”

 

“Oh ho! Have you found a Woman you like?”

 

“No… I’m at the Training Ground all day, so how could I meet a Woman!”

 

“Really? Then, this older brother will find one for you.”

 

“Really?”
