Chapter 392. Something Good for the Body
Yu Gwi-gwang shot up from his seat.
And followed behind Ha Mu-baek.
The place he headed to was in front of Pyeong Deok-jo.
“Get up and follow me.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, Pyeong Deok-jo opened his eyes.
He wondered how Ha Mu-baek knew his energy circulation was about to end, but.
Setting aside his questions, Pyeong Deok-jo also got up and followed behind Ha Mu-baek.
The forest on the opposite side from where Gwan Ha-gyeong was diligently swinging his blade.
There wasn’t even a small clearing.
Just dense trees.
Ha Mu-baek looked at Yu Gwi-gwang and spoke.
“Watch carefully. The choice is yours to make.”
Then he looked at Pyeong Deok-jo.
He stared at Ha Mu-baek with a face that showed he didn’t understand.
“You don’t have a choice.”
“What do you mean?”
Pyeong Deok-jo asked.
Ha Mu-baek took out a small pill wrapped in oil paper from his chest.
The blackish thing.
Looked ominous from its very appearance.
“Th-this is…”
Pyeong Deok-jo looked at Ha Mu-baek with trembling eyes.
“Eat it.”
Ha Mu-baek spoke in a dry, emotionless voice.
“What exactly is it…?”
Pyeong Deok-jo asked with an anxiously trembling voice.
“Something good for the body.”
An answer whose usefulness was impossible to guess flowed from Ha Mu-baek’s mouth.
Good for the body.
What kind of answer was that?
Whether it was good for health, good for injuries, or good for poisoning.
The range was endless, wasn’t it?
Ha Mu-baek placed the pill on his palm and stared quietly at Pyeong Deok-jo.
Pyeong Deok-jo reached out with trembling hands and picked up the pill.
Considering what Ha Mu-baek had done for him so far, this surely wouldn’t be anything bad either, but.
Its appearance was so ominous.
He slowly brought the pill he had picked up to his mouth.
The moment he put it in his mouth and chewed once.
“Urgh.”
Pyeong Deok-jo’s eyes bulged out as if they might pop out immediately.
“You can’t spit it out.”
Ha Mu-baek’s chilling voice.
Pyeong Deok-jo instinctively covered his mouth with both hands.
And.
Really forcibly, desperately chewed.
The horrible taste that filled his mouth.
How could a person feel pain just from the horrible taste of a pill?
Nevertheless.
Pyeong Deok-jo chewed and swallowed with great difficulty.
His entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
“Keuugh.”
And Pyeong Deok-jo collapsed to the ground, still letting out groans.
His body continued to tremble.
“You can’t vomit either.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, Pyeong Deok-jo nodded with a pained expression.
Ha Mu-baek’s gaze turned to Yu Gwi-gwang.
“I brought one more just in case. What will you do?”
Ha Mu-baek asked.
Only now did Yu Gwi-gwang understand the meaning of Ha Mu-baek’s words.
Whatever price had to be paid.
He was seeing that price now.
No, he was still seeing it.
Pyeong Deok-jo’s contorted face as he tried to endure the pain and suffering.
His whole body was trembling violently.
‘Is it poison?’
He momentarily had that thought.
Even when he saw comrades poisoned during operations in Sanwol Demon Forest, they didn’t suffer this much.
Hesitation arose.
The thought that he might not be able to return safely to his family.
However.
When Ha Mu-baek said ‘good’.
That meaning surely meant he could return safely to his family.
“I-I’ll eat it too.”
The desire to become stronger overcame his fear of the unknown.
So Yu Gwi-gwang took the pill and put it in his mouth.
“Keuugh.”
He gritted his teeth and grabbed his throat with both hands.
Because that horrible and painful taste stimulated Yu Gwi-gwang’s throat.
Unlike with Pyeong Deok-jo, Ha Mu-baek said nothing to Yu Gwi-gwang.
Because eating this was his choice.
Whether he overcame that suffering and swallowed it, or couldn’t endure it and spat it out.
It was different from Pyeong Deok-jo’s case.
Because Ha Mu-baek had intentions for him, so he absolutely had to eat the Muryangwan.
Yu Gwi-gwang also collapsed to the ground, his whole body trembling violently.
Saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, but he neither spat out the pill nor vomited.
The desperate desire to become stronger.
That made it possible.
After about an hour passed.
The two men were able to somewhat recover from the shock.
Pyeong Deok-jo and Yu Gwi-gwang barely regained their senses.
“Wh-what exactly was that?”
Pyeong Deok-jo asked with a dazed expression.
“Something good for the body.”
Ha Mu-baek gave the same answer again.
“Can I become stronger with this?”
Yu Gwi-gwang asked.
He had clearly said to follow if they wanted to become stronger.
At Yu Gwi-gwang’s question, Pyeong Deok-jo looked at him.
Ha Mu-baek nodded.
“Start energy circulation right now.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, the two sat cross-legged.
Pyeong Deok-jo began operating the Chofeng Heart Method, and Yu Gwi-gwang naturally operated the Gyoryong Heart Method.
Ha Mu-baek placed his palm on Yu Gwi-gwang’s Life Gate Acupoint.
Yu Gwi-gwang flinched at the sensation.
“Keep concentrating.”
Ha Mu-baek infused internal energy.
And guided Yu Gwi-gwang’s internal energy.
“Remember this well.”
Ha Mu-baek guided Yu Gwi-gwang’s true qi along the path of the Three Talents Heart Method.
Correcting what had been modified at Gyoryong Hall back to its original form, and restoring what had been damaged while circulating in the market.
It was the true Three Talents Heart Method.
The very mind technique he had taught to the Maengryong Corps 7th Group.
Yu Gwi-gwang clearly remembered the path Ha Mu-baek guided him along.
A route similar to yet different from the Gyoryong Heart Method.
He hadn’t expected to be taught some tremendous mind technique from the start.
He thought he’d be grateful if it was just slightly better than the Gyoryong Heart Method.
Just as small disappointment was settling in a corner of Yu Gwi-gwang’s heart.
“People of the world don’t know the true form of the Three Talents Heart Method, nor its power. If you steadily master this and gain your own enlightenment, you’ll be able to become stronger. The path I’ve shown you now is the true Three Talents Heart Method before it was damaged while wandering the world.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, Yu Gwi-gwang cast aside his disappointment and concentrated on energy circulation.
While doing so, he felt something strange.
He wondered if his internal energy had always possessed such power.
The amount of internal energy remained unchanged.
But its quality seemed different.
This was thanks to the Three Talents Heart Method with its attribute formulas removed and the effect of the Infinite Transformation Pill, but Yu Gwi-gwang couldn’t know that.
After one hour, both opened their eyes.
“It’s a spiritual pill called Infinite Transformation Pill. As a sustained-effect spiritual pill, it will increase your internal energy over several months. So make sure to steadily cultivate the mind technique.”
Ha Mu-baek spoke calmly.
But the two who heard this were greatly surprised.
A spiritual pill that increases internal energy.
He had given such a thing to them?
But why?
Along with gratitude, such questions arose.
“You said you wanted to become stronger, didn’t you?”
Ha Mu-baek asked Yu Gwi-gwang.
“Th-that’s true, but…”
His voice trembled.
“To return to your family and protect them, even this won’t be enough. So cultivate even more desperately. I’ve taught you everything I can teach.”
At Ha Mu-baek’s words, Yu Gwi-gwang bowed deeply.
At Ha Mu-baek’s nod, Yu Gwi-gwang returned to his sleeping quarters.
Now only Pyeong Deok-jo remained.
He was asking Ha Mu-baek with his eyes.
Why was he showing such kindness to him?
Suddenly coming to find him and dragging him along, then cultivation, practical training, and now even a spiritual pill.
“I’m doing this because I need to. I have a use for you.”
Ha Mu-baek said with a slight smile.
“I’m not going to make you do anything bad. Don’t worry about that.”
Having said that much, Ha Mu-baek walked toward the sleeping quarters.
Pyeong Deok-jo followed behind with a complicated expression.
Morning broke.
It was the last day.
“Well then, let’s finish off that guy and leave.”
Ha Mu-baek said with a slight smile.
That guy.
The Silent Iron Jiangshi Ha Mu-baek had mentioned three days ago.
That was the one.
He had already figured out where it was.
Tension appeared on the faces of the Bongma Corps and Maengryong Corps.
In their last clash, they had fought evenly.
But could they really capture that thing?
Such doubts settled in.
Even though Gwan Ha-gyeong had entered the peak realm and could use sword aura.
Wasn’t it a realm he had only achieved yesterday?
“Let’s go.”
Ha Mu-baek took the lead and walked.
He had already finished figuring out where the creature was.
Ha Mu-baek’s steps were unhesitating.
How long had they walked?
Ha Mu-baek slightly frowned.
But no one noticed this.
‘What’s this? They seem like Poison Jiangshi… but something’s different.’
He had detected unfamiliar jiangshi slowly approaching from afar.
Were newly appeared entities moving to secure territory?
Or.
‘Are they moving with this place as their target?’
He couldn’t tell yet.
What was certain was that this movement hadn’t existed until yesterday.
‘I’ll observe for now.’
From what he could sense, they weren’t difficult opponents to handle.
Ha Mu-baek decided to focus on catching the Silent Iron Jiangshi first.
Walking through the dense trees like that.
“Kueoeoeo.”
They encountered the Silent Iron Jiangshi.
A narrow forest path.
It was terrain where they could only line up in single file.
“Well then, I wish you good luck.”
Ha Mu-baek grabbed Pyeong Deok-jo’s neck and leaped up.
The fight with the Silent Iron Jiangshi was entirely the battle of the Bongma Corps and Maengryong Corps.
This was the final training and test before Ha Mu-baek left Sanwol Demon Forest.
The one at the front was Yu Gwi-gwang.
He held his shield in front and stabbed at the Silent Iron Jiangshi with his sword.
A very simple provocation.
“Keoeoeo!”
Silent Iron easily fell for the provocation.
One more member of the Maengryong Corps joined Yu Gwi-gwang’s side to block Silent Iron’s attacks together.
Bang!
The shield trembled.
A strike with power that could break it at any moment.
If it had been before, it would have shattered from this single blow.
The Bright Style that Ha Mu-baek had taught them.
If not for that shield technique’s deflecting block skill.
By deflecting the jiangshi’s attack and letting about eighty percent of its power flow away.
Unlike before, they could now block Silent Iron’s attacks.
The two slowly stepped backward.
Since it was a path only wide enough for two people to stand.
“Kuuuuuuu!”
Silent Iron grew angry at the shield that wouldn’t break easily.
It didn’t remember that these were the same guys it had met three days ago.
Because it was a jiangshi.
Bang! Bang!
It simply kept swinging both arms continuously.
As the two retreated little by little like this.
The Bongma Corps moved.
They disappeared between the trees and circled around to Silent Iron’s rear.
Some even climbed up the trees.
They held their breath and watched Silent Iron.
Just as the jiangshi grew even angrier and tried to focus only on Yu Gwi-gwang and his companion beside him.
Two from above, two from behind.
Four people simultaneously stabbed Silent Iron’s back.
Clang! Clang!
Loud sounds rang out as the swords bounced off.
Though they were swords filled with sword qi, they only made small wounds before bouncing off.
Silent Iron’s arms stopped.
Swish.
Then it turned around.
Its black eyes gleamed with rage.
“Kraaaaaaak!!”
With a roar, it turned its body and charged toward the Bongma Corps.
At the same time, its back was left wide open.
Yu Gwi-gwang and his companion spread their body movements left and right.
Through the small gap created, Gwan Ha-gyeong burst forward.
Blue blade energy rippled on her blade.
Slash!
The blade strike she brought down with all her might.
Split Silent Iron’s back.
Crack.
Its back split open.
However, it failed to cut Silent Iron in half.
‘Too shallow…’
Was it because of tension?
She had swung her blade before it completely entered her perfect range.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Letting out a roar mixed with pain and rage, Silent Iron turned around again.
It charged at Gwan Ha-gyeong with both claws raised.
Gwan Ha-gyeong quickly pulled her body back.
The two who had briefly spread left and right to create space blocked the path again.
Crash!
A loud sound rang from the shields.
Silent Iron, whose rage had reached its peak, put even more strength into both hands.
Though it shouldn’t be possible, tendons seemed to bulge from the backs of its hands.
Crack!
The sound of digging into Yu Gwi-gwang and his companion’s shields rang out.
At that moment.
Gwan Ha-gyeong climbed a nearby tree and launched her body into the air.
Right on cue.
Yu Gwi-gwang and the Maengryong Member spread left and right.
Since they moved while holding their shields.
Silent Iron’s arms embedded in the shields also spread apart.
Rather, it was a situation where Silent Iron’s arms were restrained by the shields.
They had intended this and deliberately didn’t completely deflect the jiangshi’s strike.
Though floating in midair could leave one defenseless.
Silent Iron with its arms restrained was in a perfectly defenseless state instead.
Gwan Ha-gyeong’s blade, rippling with blue light, fell toward such a Silent Iron.
