#A groundbreaking proposal

“He was a great man. He was someone who was acknowledged by both the Left and Right Masters, and he was my teacher.”

The expression on Ma-ui’s face was full of respect. It was understandable. Just the two letters of Dok-ma were enough to make the Central Plains tremble.

Of course, it was a very long time ago. Jang Seo also only heard about it through books and oral history.

“He studied many magic and sorcery to become stronger, but he was more confident than anyone else. He could take what was convenient, but he did not tolerate any favoritism. The fact that Gwang-ui was cast out was because of his narrow-mindedness, born with a sword in his stomach, and not hesitating to harm or take away.”

Is there such a thing as righteousness among devils?

There are people like that sometimes.

Those who establish their own beliefs and live by doing selective good deeds.

The leader of the Horongdang clan, Ji Dae-ho, was like that, and the Seven Princes, Mao, was like that.

and…….

Jang Seo said so himself.

How could I have survived until today without blood and evil on my hands?

Of course, I have no intention of defending this.

Evil is evil, whether it’s the worst or the lesser evil.

As time passes, memories may fade, but karma cannot be erased.

“But why is his story suddenly coming up?”

Jang Eun-seo dismissed Dokma’s praise and returned to the main topic.

Then Ma-ui answered in a calm tone.

“Because he is the only one who can solve your immortal problem.”

“That means… … .”

“Learn poison from him.”

Ding! My ears rang and I was speechless in confusion. Was he telling me to learn martial arts from Dokma right now?

“You just have to make the broad-sense immortal poison yours. Then you can live. Tsk tsk.”

It’s true.

“Is it that easy?”

“Of course it won’t be easy. Who would dare teach the martial arts of the text so easily? That’s ridiculous.”

“then…….”

“But if you succeed me, things will be different.”

This is it. What he wanted.

“Take charge of Doksan-gak. Then, not only will you solve the problem of immortal poison, but you will also have the opportunity to be reborn as a poison demon that no one can approach.”

How dare you. Does the devil know what he is proposing to me just now?

He is a spy of the Jeongpa faction, and he is told to continue the progress of the poison horse.

Hana Ma-yi also had clear circumstances.

“The Master has already reached the end of his days. However, I am too humble to fully understand his profound wisdom. I am ashamed to say that in terms of talent, Gongsun Jeol was more outstanding. Hehe.”

A self-deprecating laugh escapes the magician’s mouth.

That’s right.

The immortal poison that Gwangyi had mastered was the magic weapon of Dokma. However, Ma-ui was unable to fully understand it, and in the end, he had to be satisfied with only other martial arts.

This is also the reason why he is now called Doksanma-ui and not Dokma.

“However, you are different. You were born with the nine-legged body, and you have reached the highest level, which is the minimum requirement for learning the immortal poison. So, if you have the will, you can definitely become the poison of your time.”

There was a deep desire in the magician’s eyes.

This was an old regret that he had not been able to become a poisonous person himself, and it was also a sense of responsibility as a poisonous person.

If Dokma were to live out his life like this and leave this world… … .

Then, it becomes even more unlikely for a great person to appear at Doksan Pavilion.

“So you follow in my footsteps.”

“Are you telling me… … to abandon Chilsogung and live in Doksan Pavilion?”

“Isn’t it better than holding onto a rope that you can’t climb? Besides, if you take this place, there will be a hundred doctors who will risk their lives for your words. They are strong guys who are no less powerful than anyone else.”

It was hasty to say that it would not be possible to climb, but what was said about the medical students was a clear fact without exaggeration.

The doctors at Doksan-gak had a lot to learn and had to deal with many minions, so it was a place that only those with innate insight and talent could enter.

In short, they are talented people who are both civil and military.

“Also, how is your body? You may have blocked one heavenly attack with the grace of the sect leader, but what about the next? It will be difficult… … It will be difficult! You will probably remain at this level for the rest of your life. What if you learn one poisonous attack? Your power alone will be enough to look down on all people. If you learn only the immortal poison of the master!”

The magician spoke passionately. He was equally desperate.

To that extent, the potential of the old system was highly evaluated.

From Jang Seo’s perspective, these are words that are both grateful and inevitably harsh.

Isn’t poison something that can take hundreds of lives with just one drop?

I don’t know why his life and death aren’t known now, but he must have been someone who ruled the world in his previous life.

If you continue to follow his path and work hard, you can overcome your innate limitations and become an extremely powerful being who will influence the times.

“Honestly… … I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want it.”

“Kekeke, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, you may one day inherit the position of an elder and stand above tens of thousands of people in a thousand mountains. You will have power.”

“Power is a fruit that never gets old.”

Actually, that’s because I don’t say anything. I like power. It’s fun to suppress it. Of course, this is when the target is a mine.

“Okay, what do you think? Do you accept it?”

“hmm…….”

“What are you worrying about? You have no choice anyway. If you refuse, all that’s left is a life with a limited time left before death.”

Yeah, that’s the biggest problem.

As Jang Yi-seo nodded his head vigorously, Ma-ui smiled brightly and shouted.

“Okay! Then I accept it.”

“No, that would be difficult.”

“What, what!”

At Jang Yi-seo’s indifferent tone, Ma-ui stood up with a flushed face.

Have you not understood what I have said so far?

This is a truly groundbreaking proposal.

It was the greatest personnel action of all time, which was only possible by striking down all the authority as an elder and a footnote.

“At your age, at your fate. Do you think you’ll ever have another chance like this? I, the descendant of the Six Elders, Sima Jun, am the Lord of Doksan, and this is my golden opportunity to become a Dokma!”

“I know.”

“I know someone who says that?!”

That’s why it’s like that. That’s why it’s like that.

It’s good to become a poisonous horse and command the world. It’s also good to become the master of Doksan Pavilion and live a leisurely life while devouring countless secret books.

The power you will wield as an elder will be sweet even after your teeth have rotted away.

But unfortunately, he is a spy from the Murim Alliance who was given a mission.

“Let’s find another way.”

Jang Yi-seo expressed his refusal without hesitation.

“Have you ever seen such a madman? Do you think there is another way? The immortal poison is beyond your ability to handle. But how can you… … .”

The magician couldn’t finish speaking.

Because Jang Seo’s gaze was so straight as he looked at me. Because this kind of person would never bend his determination.

‘It’s so frustrating for a young kid… … At times like this, he’s just like all the old punks. Oh my.’

I let out a sigh of frustration, as if I wanted to leave the world.

“Okay, I understand. I won’t catch someone who doesn’t want to. Instead! Stay here for a while and take some medicine before you go. I can’t just let a sick person go.”

There is no need to go that far… … .

Jang Yi nodded his head, pretending not to be able to resist the look of disappointment on Hana Ma Yi’s face.

Anyway, I had been away for a long time, and even if it wasn’t a poisonous horse, I was interested in the poisonous plants and insects that were spread around here.

“I’ve prepared a place for you to stay, so I’ll show you around when you leave.”

The magician waved his hand without even looking up.

Then, Jang-seo lightly took the lottery ticket and went out.

Then the remaining demon muttered while snorting loudly.

“You annoying bastard. I never thought you’d refuse… …. Do you think I’ll give up? Just wait and see. You’ll succeed me somehow.”

The devil is not a rookie who only knows how to clash with others because they have different opinions.

A snake that knows how to persuade.

The operation to recruit Jang was not over yet.

* * *

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

A scream, or a groan, rings out.

Patients lie in rows along the left and right walls, and hairless doctors take turns tending to them.

This is the treatment center of Doksangak.

It is literally a place to treat the injured. But the facilities for treatment were truly unique.

On each mat on the floor there were iron blocks to tie up the limbs.

The reason was simple.

“Ki kik i kik!”

This is not just a treatment center, but a madman’s ward that treats the masters within Doksan Pavilion who are obsessed with magic.

In short, either you are already crazy, or you are about to become crazy.

It was a place that dealt with patients who were possessed by magic and could explode at any moment.

And this Gwangja Ward was the domain of the Chief of the Guard, Yeop-Hwang, who directly managed it.

The patient he was in charge of today was a seriously ill patient who was paralyzed from the waist down and on the verge of falling into a state of total obsession, and all the other doctors had given up on him.

“Your Majesty!”

While Yeop-gwang was inserting the 172nd needle into the body of a paralyzed patient.

A doctor came running from behind, calling him, out of breath.

“I told you not to run in the ward!”

Yeop-hong’s thick neck turned around, and his sharp eyes glared open frighteningly. If he appeared in my dreams, it would be just a nightmare.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The matter is so urgent… … .”

At the doctor’s feeble protest, Yeop-hong turned his head to the patient again and spoke.

“What’s going on?”

“It was as expected. It seems that the elder had offered him a place in the footnotes.”

“Is that true?!”

Over and over and over-

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a heavy energy poured out from Yeop-hong’s body. It was as if dark clouds had descended on the photon ward, making it difficult to breathe.

How did he survive for decades under you… … .

You’re leaving this place to a kid you’ve never seen or heard of?!

Bam!

Yeop-hong’s needle was deeply embedded between the patient’s eyebrows.

“Ugh!”

Then the sick man came in and screamed for the first time.

‘Ah, have you regained your senses?’

The doctor swallowed hard after seeing the reaction of the patient who had been incurable and continued his report.

“however…….”

“however?”

“They say he rejected the offer!”

Eeeeeee-!

Finally, Yeop-hong’s angry voice burst out.

Papapapak! At the same time, the patient’s body is mercilessly stabbed with saliva.

“Kkaaaahhhhh-! Sa, …

Then, the sick man, unable to bear the pain, burst out his magic and raised his head for the first time.

Wow! The doctor cured a paralyzed patient! The moment when all the doctors burst into amazement.

Bang! Yeop-gwang’s short staff struck the sick man’s head mercilessly like a judge’s seal.

“Oh, no!”

“Ugh… … .”

The doctors were shocked, and the patient died instantly, unable to even close his eyes and shedding tears of blood.

And Yeop-gwang muttered with scary eyes.

“He who crosses the line will only face death.”

This is the 50th ranked demon cult leader, Padumangryang Yeophong.

It was a relief of Doksan Pavilion.

“Ask.”

“Yes, yes… … .”

He jumped up and went outside.

The doctors all bowed their heads, trembling with fear.
