Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 86

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang smiled wickedly at Gu Yahuk’s words.

 

“Hearing your words, sir, gives me confidence again.”

“It’s truly a good spear, so don’t even think about cutting the price when you sell it.”

“Yes! Thank you.”

“Well then, I’m busy so I’ll be going.”

“Where are you going? I’m heading that way too.”

“I’m on my way to Changcheon Trading Company.”

“Oh? I’m also heading to Changcheon Trading Company. Let’s go together.”

“Why are you going to Changcheon Trading Company?”

“There’s something I want to buy. Let’s go together.”

 

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like he’s going to sell the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear.

 

“Hmm hmm. Alright. Then let’s go together.”

“Yes. Could you tell me about spears on the way?”

“Do you want to learn spear techniques?”

“It’s nothing that grand. Still, if I have some information and knowledge about spears, I’ll be able to find someone suitable for this spear.”

“Weren’t you going to sell it unconditionally to whoever offers five hundred gold taels?”

“What? No way. Knowing the value of this spear, how could I sell it to just anyone? I need to find someone who will truly cherish this spear.”

 

Gu Yahuk’s favorability increased at Jeok Wigang’s words, and he spoke with a smile.

 

“I’ll teach you the basics.”

“Thank you!”

 

 

 

The two people arrived at the main gate of Changcheon Trading Company.

Seeing Gu Yahuk hesitating, Jeok Wigang tilted his head.

 

“Sir? Aren’t you going in?”

“Well, that is… You go in first.”

“Come on. We’ve come this far, let’s go in together.”

“Well, that is…”

 

Just when he couldn’t bring himself to take a step forward.

 

“Father?”

 

A longing yet familiar voice was heard.

When Gu Yahuk turned his head, there stood Gu Daegeuk, the Changcheon Trading Company Leader and his son, with a surprised expression.

 

“Father! What brings you here?”

“Hmm hmm! I, I came because I had business to attend to.”

“Business? Haha! The sun must rise from the west tomorrow. Father actually came to see me. Don’t stand here like this, let’s go inside.”

“No. It’s fine. I saw your face, so I’ll be going now.”

“You came all this way and you’re just going to leave?”

“I just stopped by while passing through.”

“Father.”

“You rascal. I just stopped by while passing through…”

“Hello.”

 

While Gu Yahuk was speaking, Jeok Wigang interrupted.

 

“Who might you be?”

“I’m Kang Wi, and I came here with this gentleman.”

“With Father?”

“Yes. Shall we go inside and talk?”

 

Gu Daegeuk looked at Gu Yahuk.

 

“Hmm. Yes. Let’s go in.”

 

Jeok Wigang’s sudden interruption was annoying, but he held back.

He was worried that if he offended him, he might not sell the spear to him.

However, Gu Daegeuk was surprised.

For Father to so obediently follow someone’s words like that.

 

“Father. Allow me to escort you. This way.”

 

As Gu Daegeuk went inside, he ordered his subordinate.

 

“Go to the kitchen immediately and tell them to bring out Mountain and Sea Delicacies and Goksan Famous Wine.”

“Understood.”

 

 

 

Gu Daegeuk brought Father and Jeok Wigang to his room.

He kept observing Jeok Wigang.

 

“What kind of relationship do you have with Father?”

 

Gu Yahuk was in a difficult position.

What kind of relationship should he introduce this as?

Should he say he’s the owner of a spear I want to buy?

Should he tell him to give this person five hundred gold taels?

He couldn’t bring himself to say such words.

Then Jeok Wigang spoke up.

 

“We met by chance on the road.”

“Is that so? But what business brought you to see me with Father?”

“I heard that you’ve fallen into Qi Deviation.”

 

Gu Yahuk looked at Jeok Wigang in shock.

His expression said ‘what is this guy talking about?’

Whether Gu Yahuk was looking at him or not, Jeok Wigang continued speaking without a care.

 

“I heard the news. You said you’d give five hundred gold taels to anyone who could treat qi deviation, right?”

“That’s right. Do you know someone?”

“I specialize in qi deviation.”

 

Gu Daegeuk looked at Gu Yahuk.

With an expression asking if this was true.

Gu Yahuk was flustered.

What is this guy suddenly talking about?

 

“Ah, you wouldn’t know about this, sir. We just happened to be going in the same direction.”

“Is that so? Are you a physician?”

“No. Qi deviation isn’t a disease that physicians can cure, is it? The dantian is broken, so it needs to be restored, but that’s difficult unless a great immortal comes.”

“Hmm.”

“I’m a magic arts practitioner. With magic arts, I can also restore the dantian.”

 

At the mention of magic arts practitioner, Gu Daegeuk made a puzzled expression.

 

“This is the first I’ve heard of treating qi deviation with magic arts.”

“It would be the first you’ve heard since no one has tried it. I’m making a proposal. The decision is up to you, Trading Company Leader.”

“Tell me what method you’ll use for treatment.”

“I’ll carve a formation seal near the dantian to restore the broken parts.”

“Is that possible?”

“I wouldn’t have come if it wasn’t possible, would I?”

 

Gu Yahuk interjected.

 

“Try it once. If this guy fails, I’ll personally cut off his head.”

“What? Sir. How can you say such harsh words?”

“That guy is my son. Promise me. That no harm will come to that child.”

“I promise.”

“I am Gu Yahuk of the Golden Spear Star, one of the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars.”

“Wow! So that’s why your knowledge of spears was so amazing. I thought you were an extraordinary sir, but you’re even more famous than I imagined.”

 

Even after such intimidation, not a trace of tension could be felt from Jeok Wigang.

That meant one of two things.

Either he was stronger than him, or he really could treat the dantian.

Since he wouldn’t be stronger than himself, Gu Yahuk concluded that he was confident in treating the dantian.

 

“You seem trustworthy. Give it a try.”

 

At Gu Yahuk’s words, Gu Daegeuk looked at Jeok Wigang for a moment, then nodded.

 

“Understood. When shall we start?”

“How about after the meal? The smell of food is wafting from outside.”

 

Seeing Jeok Wigang licking his lips, Gu Daegeuk nodded.

 

 

 

With Gu Yahuk watching Jeok Wigang with frightening eyes behind him, Jeok Wigang looked at Gu Daegeuk who was lying on the bed with his upper body bare.

 

“Let me check your condition first.”

 

When Gu Daegeuk nodded, he recited an incantation.

Gu Daegeuk was surprised to see Jeok Wigang’s pupils turn white.

With his white eyes, he was examining the dantian area from various angles.

 

“Hmm. There are three broken areas.”

“You, you can see that?”

“Of course.”

“Then you can really treat it too?”

“It would be tiresome to repeat myself.”

“Please, please heal me! I’ll give you not five hundred gold taels, but a thousand!”

“Really?”

 

Gu Daegeuk nodded.

His desperate feelings were conveyed.

Actually, Jeok Wigang knew the story between the father and son Gu Yahuk and Gu Daegeuk.

If he reconciled the two, Gu Yahuk’s mind would be at peace, which would be a great help to Cheonmu Castle.

In fact, Gu Yahuk was wandering due to his son’s qi deviation and their strained relationship.

Because of this, his training achievements were also minimal due to mental anguish.

Only when his mental anguish disappeared would Gu Yahuk become stronger, and only when he became stronger would Cheonmu Castle be stable.

Everything was for stabilizing Cheonmu Castle.

Also, these were things he was doing to help his grandfather.

And making money at the same time.

Glancing at Gu Yahuk, he was standing with a face more tense than Gu Daegeuk’s.

Smiling slightly, he said to Gu Daegeuk.

 

“Then I’ll begin. It shouldn’t hurt.”

“Hearing that it won’t hurt is the most welcome news.”

“You’re not overly sensitive to pain, are you?”

“Hahaha!”

“Now, I’m starting.”

“I’m counting on you.”

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang drew a pattern of overlapping triple circles and spirals on Gu Daegeuk’s dantian area.

He carved a Core Restoration Seal in the center and recited an incantation.

 

“Return Qi to Sea, Stabilize Meridians and Channels”

 

Along with the incantation, light began to seep from the incantation seal drawn on the dantian area.

Soon the spiral began to move little by little, then started spinning round and round.

 

“Connect Soul and Guard Heart, Restore Core to Original State”

 

The circle moved in the opposite direction of the spiral’s rotation, gradually growing larger.

 

“Seal.”

 

As soon as the incantation ended, a warm and cozy feeling enveloped the area around his dantian, and the heavy sensation in his lower abdomen began to ease.

The incantation mark drawn near his dantian slowly dissolved and then quietly disappeared.

 

“It’s finished.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Gu Daegeuk asked back in a startled voice.

 

“What? What do you mean? How long has it been since we started…?”

“That’s how magic arts work. Convenient, isn’t it?”

 

He said with a grin, but should he believe this?

 

“If you can’t believe it, try circulating energy.”

 

Gu Daegeuk swallowed his saliva, sat cross-legged, and began qi circulation and breathing.

The warm energy he thought he’d never feel in his lifetime stirred in his dantian and soon spread throughout his limbs.

He gathered the dispersed energy into one and completed a small heavenly circuit.

After practicing qi circulation and breathing in such a state of selflessness, he opened his eyes not long after.

Tears were flowing endlessly from Gu Daegeuk’s eyes.

 

“F-Father… I… I can now do qi circulation and breathing… I can use martial arts.”

“C-can you really feel your dantian?”

“Yes. Though it’s late, may I continue learning Father’s spear techniques?”

“Where is there such a thing as being too late to learn? I’ll teach you everything I know.”

 

Gu Yahuk firmly grasped Gu Daegeuk’s hand and patted his shoulder.

Mixed emotions crossed Gu Yahuk’s expression as he looked at Gu Daegeuk.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yahuk opened his mouth.

 

“I’m sorry. I think I pushed you too hard because of my greed.”

“Father?”

“Actually, I was proud of you even when you couldn’t use martial arts. Building such a large trading company from the ground up isn’t something just anyone can do.”

“N-no. I’m the one who was unfilial to Father. I was wrong. Father.”

“No. You’ve never been unfilial to me. You’ve always been a son I’m proud of.”

“Father…”

“It’s all because I’m inadequate. Can you forgive this inadequate father?”

“What do you mean by that? There’s nothing to forgive in the first place. Father has never wronged me. To me, Father has always been a hero and a goal. Still is now.”

 

The two father and son looked at each other and soon smiled.

The resentment that had built up in their hearts for so long melted away like snow on a spring day.

Gu Yahuk and Gu Daegeuk simultaneously looked at Jeok Wigang.

Then they simultaneously performed a cupped fist salute and bowed.

 

“We thank our benefactor.”

“What benefactor? No. I did it all for money.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Gu Daegeuk asked him to wait a moment and went outside.

Shortly after.

He came back carrying two receipts.

 

“These are receipts worth five hundred gold taels each. Any exchange house in the Central Plains will exchange them.”

“I’ll use them well.”

 

Gu Yahuk looked at Gu Daegeuk while watching Jeok Wigang receive the money.

Then he soon shook his head and turned away.

 

‘We’ve already spent a thousand gold taels… How can I ask to borrow another five hundred gold taels here?’

 

He couldn’t do it.

Though he coveted Jeok Wigang’s spear greatly, he decided to endure it.

He decided to be satisfied with just his son regaining his dantian.

That’s when it happened.

Jeok Wigang held out his spear to Gu Yahuk.

He looked on with a bewildered expression.

 

“I’ve reached my target amount. Please use it, sir.”

“A-are you serious?”
