#ImmortalPoisonMagic (2)

All preparations are complete. Now it’s time to learn the Immortal Poison Magic. To be honest, I was curious. Usually, they teach you the basics, have you practice alone, and if you get stuck, move on to the physical training.

What kind of martial arts are you going to teach me in front of everyone like this, using sorcery?

“Take it.”

After a while, Dokma took out a round pill wrapped in a gold bag from his bosom.

“Is it poison?”

“It’s an elixir. And it’s a very precious one.”

He only fed me poison all the time, so why is he suddenly giving me elixir? As he stared at the pill he had received, even more surprising words came out of Dokma’s mouth.

“This is a very powerful pill made from the Baek-eum-seon-gwa (百蔭仙果) from the Eum-hyeol-mok (蔭血木) tree, which is said to ripen once every hundred years.”

I’ve heard it. If there is the Queen Mother of the West’s peaches in Kunlun Mountain, then there is the Extreme Yin Fairy Fruit in Tian Shan.

Although it was just a joke, it was famous for increasing a lot of aerodynamics.

On the other hand, it is a double-edged elixir that has very strong yin energy and can even lead to death if taken incorrectly.

But why this?

“You have been exposed to countless poisons and have become accustomed to their effects. However, if that were the end, it would be nothing more than an invincible poison. The beginning of poison attack is when you transform your own bet into poison.”

Jang Yiseo nodded.

That would be the case. If it were just about dealing with poison, then it would be a medical practitioner, not a martial artist.

“The second is to take the essence of extreme yin, the Extreme Yin Ring, and while circulating it through the Great Heaven, remember the hundred extreme poisons that I have mentioned and be sure to transform them in order. The third is to eventually evolve into the monstrous, immortal poison.”

“Then, if I can’t finish all of this while completing the Great Circulation… … .”

“Of course it will fail. Also, since there are no more extreme sounds left, no one will be able to master it for several decades.”

In other words, does this mean that in this day and age, there is only this one opportunity?

After hearing this, I now understand why the devil prays so fervently.

“Hehe, are you nervous?”

If not, then of course it’s false.

However, my fate is not so fragile that I would hesitate at something like this.

Gulp.

Jang Yi-seo swallowed the Geuk-eum-hwan in one gulp without hesitation. Then he answered calmly.

“Let’s get started.”

“Hahahahaha! As expected, you are my nephew. Now then, I will teach you the Immortal Poison Magic Technique!”

Shh …

The moment the extreme negative energy passes through the esophagus, Jang Yi-seo closes his eyes.

Then, a mysterious and cold energy falls like water droplets into the dantian.

Yeah, yeah!

Then, as if submerged in water, your ears become deaf, and you step into the realm of the mind.

The energy of the Heavenly Demon, which flows like a pitch-black Milky Way, sinking to the bottom of a giant jar called Danjeon. And eight holes that have been mercilessly drilled into it.

There, the cold, damp water droplets created by the extreme negative energy fall gently.

Slosh! Then, like water and oil, the two energies divide the territory. But that too for a moment. Before long, the energies of the Heavenly Horse sneakily watch for their prey, waiting for an opportunity.

The absolute negative energy of the Extreme Yin Ring cannot withstand the energy of the Heavenly Demon for long. There is no time to hesitate.

The swaying, floating yin energy slowly rises and circles. Normally, in order to do the Great Circulation, you have to send it to the first heaven where the energy of the Heavenly Demon is settled.

one.

‘There’s only one chance anyway. If that’s the case, I’ll risk my life.’

Shh …

The goal is the second perforation.

The overflowing yin energy naturally swam towards the target. I decided to block it from the beginning.

Besides, I’ve already experienced it once. It shouldn’t be difficult.

But there is something different from before.

[Perineum point, intestine-cutting herb.]

The voice of private tutoring resonates within.

This time, instead of just clearing the way, you have to turn this shady bet into a poisonous aura as you pass through.

The extreme negative energy is the one that best matches with poison.

What changes this is the will.

Just like the Cheonma Shingong, the Immortal Poison Demonic Art is also a martial art of the highest level that is achieved through will.

So, you have to remember.

The countless poisons I’ve encountered in the past. And the sensations I felt back then.

The flowing bet makes its way and soon opens the floodgates to the perineum.

And it turns dark red and sticky.

It’s the energy of a short story.

The water flows along the poison vein, and in the meantime, the dark red inside changes to milky white. This is the second extreme poison, seeing blood in the throat.

Black-backed poisonous bee, crane’s-crown red, and scorpion worm.

The voice of the private tutor becomes faster and faster, and the betting changes repeatedly. The more this happens, the more tenacious and heavy the energy becomes.

One thing is better. The slower the Great Circulation, the more time you save.

Before I knew it, the bet had gone up my spine and headed to the Baekhoe point on my crown.

Now that the Dokmaeki is over, it’s time to go back down the Immaeki.

It’s already halfway through. I feel relieved that things are going smoothly.

But who said that the most dangerous time is when you feel safe?

Quagwagwagwa-

At that very moment, the Cheonmagi struck the rear like a torrential stream pouring out from a dam toward the slowly circling energy of the Extreme Yin Ring.

Kwaaang!

In an instant, a loud noise erupted inside me, and the energy of the extreme negative energy surged like waves.

‘Huh… …?!’

Then, pain surges through my entire body as if a mouse has been bitten, and blood flows backward.

‘Why… …?!’

I feel confused and have trouble concentrating.

Accordingly, the bet fluctuates and stops in place.

It was a sign of the coin’s possession.

The energy of the Heavenly Demon, without any order, went against the grain and followed after him, trying to swallow the Extreme Evil Ring.

[Baekhoehyeol, poisonous arrow frog.]

The voice of the private tutor is heard again without mercy.

You can’t miss it. You have to chase after it.

one.

‘this……!’

Kwaaaaang!

Again a loud noise echoed inside. The Heavenly Horse had struck again.

The flow that had been going that way began to go wrong.

I missed the point of private tutoring. My heart was pounding. It was a moment of crisis.

If you want to survive, you have to stop now.

And this inner turmoil was transmitted to those outside as well.

*

“hmm?!”

Dok-ma was startled and raised his eyebrows when Jang-seo’s body shook violently. The doctors and magi watching from below also opened their eyes wide in shock.

Jang didn’t know it, but as he was practicing his yin yang, a thick cold aura was rising from his body and swirling around above his head. This was a phenomenon that occurred when the yin and changing toxic energy from the extreme yin ring flowed out of his body.

In Doksan Pavilion, it is said that poisonous air gathers to form a flower bud, and is called Dokunseonghwa (毒雲成花).

Its characteristic is that it changes into a unique color every time the poison in the body changes, and when the immortal poison magic is successful, it bursts and disperses, blooming.

Everyone was watching Jang Yi-seo’s situation closely, hoping for Man-bok.

And up until now, it had been smooth sailing, so I was starting to feel a little excited.

But… … .

“The color doesn’t change… …?”

“It probably hasn’t bloomed yet, why?”

Even though it was clear that the poison had sent the signal, the flower bud floating above his head did not change from reddish brown.

Finally.

“Blood, blood!”

Black blood even flowed down from the corner of Jang Yi-seo’s mouth.

The poisonous horse suddenly stood up, and the doctors who were watching were shocked.

no way.

“Did it fail?!”

The commotion grew louder as someone shouted.

“Gaaaarr! It’s noisy!”

At this, the magician shouted. However, he too was gripped by anxiety.

‘Jang I-seo. What on earth is going on…?’

Dokmado. Magic Island. And the doctors too.

Everyone looked at him in despair.

*

Meanwhile, Jang Yi-seo was barely able to pull himself together from his dazed state.

The Extreme Yin Ring stopped in the middle of its movement. And the Heavenly Horse Chaser chased after it, eating away at it little by little.

And the trauma and missed sequence that came with the shock.

This was just the worst.

It wouldn’t be strange if we just left it like this.

but.

‘It ain’t over till it’s over.’

Jang-seo swallowed his despair and thought only of ways to overcome it.

First, the tip of the energy of the Extreme Yin Ring was swallowed by the Heavenly Horse. At the current speed, there was nothing left.

‘We must increase the speed of our luck so that the Heavenly Horse cannot chase us.’

How? There is. Just condense the energy that has already stopped and let it out as if it were bursting out. Then you can strike out.

The problem is.

‘To do that, you need to know the order of the latter half of the Immortal Poison Magic.’

How on earth? By what means?

For now, I can’t open my mouth to ask, and I can’t go into Dokma’s head and come out.

However, moving forward without knowing the order is the same as using the mind method without knowing the rules.

If you make even one mistake, failure is inevitable, and you could even die from being possessed by a coin.

Let’s think about it.

‘The extreme poisons that Sa-suk talks about are all things I have experienced and things I remember. The answer lies in the order up to now.’

Countless toxic energies spread through my head, and soon I drew lines across the things that had been called constellations.

And it wasn’t long before I realized one thing.

Originally, poisons were caused by yin, but in addition, each had the characteristics of the five elements. What Dokma had told me was that they followed the order of the five elements.

‘From wood to hearth. From fire to earth. From earth to metal. Metal to water. Water returns back to wood.’

A sure standard without any errors.

but.

‘No, that’s wrong. This alone is absolutely not enough to determine the order. Aren’t there just too many variables?’

At this point, it’s just up to heaven.

This won’t do.

We need to find another surefire way.

‘The Immortal Poison Magician is a strange species that was created when a single bet filled with yin transformed into a hundred types of extreme poison.’

If only I had heard this in advance… … The old, traditional methods ended up holding me back.

Are you really saying there is no way to find out?

But at that moment, Jang Yi-seo’s mind flashed.

‘No. There is still one way left!’

If you don’t know which way to go, you might find out by going back to the final destination.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the last crystal remained inside his body. A gift from Gwangyi.

It is the poison of immortality.

Jang-i quickly started searching for the immortal toxin remaining in his body.

If I didn’t know at all, I wouldn’t know, but I’m already halfway through, and my body remembers all the toxins that make up this.

therefore.

‘I will find the answer through you!’

Quagwagwa!

The spirit of the Heavenly Horse, pursuing us again with a surge of energy.

And at that moment.

The energy of the crouching, yin-yin ring burst out like a tidal wave.

Kwaaang!

*

Outside, unaware of the situation, the poisonous demon continued to transmit messages without stopping.

[Lee Seo, what are you doing now! Lee Seo!]

But there is no movement at all.

At this, my heart starts pounding and my complexion turns as white as a sheet of paper.

But at that moment.

“Bird, the color has changed!”

Shh …

The poisonous cloud floating over Jang Yi-seo’s head changed from reddish brown to blue.

At this, everyone’s faces brighten and they breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Dokma was also sweating profusely and was about to send another urgent message.

“uh……?”
