Hyeonjilmusin - Chapter 94



Only Krnovel

94. Open (2)

Last time the store level went up, it was said that the talents available for purchase increased.

Actually, the talents on the list increased, but honestly, I didn’t really feel the difference. After all, the talents I could wear were limited. However, this was definitely felt.

[Ghost – Level 4]

[ Price: Free (original price: 9,500 nyang) ]

[ The above price is the price with the one-time special offer applied. ]

But what does this mean? All I could see was up to level 5. That means prices were locked from level 4 onwards. However, now I could see prices up to level 4. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t see levels 3 and above. But I thought at least one level had been unlocked.

The released prices were not only cruel but also brutal. While a 5th grade silver was worth between 1,500 and 3,000 nyang, a 4th grade silver was worth between 8,000 and 10,000 nyang.

If that’s the case, then the one-time privilege was to give away talent worth ten thousand nyang, which was a truly enormous benefit.

“Why did this suddenly pop up?”

I was rolling the medicine in my palm when I suddenly realized something.

Even though I didn’t know what this single ring was, the energy it held wasn’t awkward at all. Rather, it felt familiar.

I am currently using Yangsimgong to simultaneously handle both magic and spiritual energy. Having absorbed a great deal of magic energy from Hubei, my magical energy is somewhat superior, but my spiritual energy is not lacking either. This is because I have absorbed some of the energy of Taecheongdan that was in Mingming’s body.

So, I can’t help but feel a certain degree of rejection towards elixirs that are concentrated only in spirit or magic, but this elixir was not like that.

‘Or maybe it’s nothing.’

Of course, that’s also a possibility. The possibility that a rat got into my clothes and pooped on them.

I picked up the medicine and sniffed it. It smelled fragrant, even for a shit. If I had to compare it, it smelled like mint. This was definitely an elixir. As far as I know, only an elixir can produce such a strong and rich scent.

Could it be that the store’s rank went up because of this elixir? It was probably right. It was a gut feeling. The unique familiarity of this energy added to the confidence in that gut feeling.

I mainly looked through the 4th level talents that were open. Even though they were disposable, I felt at ease just looking at them because they were all free.

As I was going down the list, I stopped at one point.

[Wanryu Guijong (萬流歸宗) – 4th level]

[ Price: Free (original price is 3,000 nyang) ]

[ The above price is the price with the one-time special offer applied. ]

Unfortunately, the traits were not explained. However, I was strongly drawn to the talent called Manryuguijong. This was because I was able to handle two extreme energies, magic and spirit. Of course, it also had the minor advantage of being the most expensive of the four-tier talents.

I have always had an excellent eye for selecting things, even if it was something I didn’t know. I used to call it “a good idea” to my juniors. If you know how to see good rice, you will also know how to see good weapons.

Think as deeply as possible, decide as quickly as possible. Following that principle, I purchased the Manryuguijong. At the same time, the prices of other talents also returned to their proper values.

‘Is it done?’

I blinked, but I couldn’t tell what had changed. If I had acquired some kind of great talent called Manryuguijong, I would have felt something had changed.

In times like these, there is nothing better than the Un-gi Haeng-gong. The Un-gi Haeng-gong itself is an act of observing my body.

I immediately sat cross-legged and started the Un-gi Haeng-gong. I raised the internal energy of the Dan-jeon and put it on the path called the Gi-maek.

‘……wait for a sec.’

Something, something was strange. Normally, I do the Un-gi Haeng-gong twice. The first time with spirit energy, the second time with magic energy. This is because if spirit energy and magic energy are mixed, it is certain that I will be possessed by the main spirit.

But surprisingly, my body naturally placed both spiritual and magical energy into my energy channels at the same time. The spiritual and magical energy were wary of each other but did not clash.

I quickly finished my Un-gi Haeng-gong and opened my eyes. Next, I blew out my spiritual energy with my left hand and my magical energy with my right hand.

Up until now, even though I had both Yangsimgong, I could only use one energy depending on the situation. But now, I could use two energies at the same time. I don’t know if this will be useful. But at least it’s better than not being able to do it.

And then I slowly brought my hands together in front of my chest. When there was enough space between my palms to fit two fists, the energies began to tangle together. It was a strange experience. Normally, they should have collided and exploded.

At first, magic and spirit were intertwined like threads, as if they were exploring each other, but soon they penetrated each other deeply and became one.

Soon, an energy of a kind I had never seen before unfolded before my heart.

And that energy was exactly the same as the energy that Danhwan gave off.

“What are you thinking? Sending me to the repentance hall without asking for my opinion.”

Cheonghwa grumbled in front of Cheongyi. Cheongyi just smiled brightly.

“When Hwiyoung comes out of Chamhoe-dong, you will probably be grateful to me.”

“Again, again, talking nonsense.”

“Originally, a Taoist priest had to mix in a few empty words.”

Cheonghwa shook her head.

“Why did you send him in? Just tell me. I’m that child’s teacher.”

“No.”

Cheonghwa screamed in an unknown voice, but Cheongyi just ignored her.

In fact, it was a secret that Cheongyi had the Heavenly King’s Sacred Tablet. It was the Heavenly King’s Sacred Tablet that he had received from the Huizhou merchants about a year ago.

It was a headache when rumors spread that the shaman had the legacy of a mysterious sect, so only Cheong-ui knew about it.

I was thinking for a long time about who to give it to, when Mukhwiyeong appeared. This was because Cheonwangmun, the school of Cheonghae, was famous for its martial arts skills.

Although Mukhwiyeong’s martial arts were those of a shaman, they had a hegemonic aspect, and so it seemed like the Cheonwangsindan would suit him better than the shaman’s Taecheongdan.

That insight was right. In fact, the Heavenly King’s Sindan was a very suitable elixir for Mukhwiyoung. The Heavenly King’s Sindan was a combination of magic and spiritual energy. That’s why it was able to produce explosive results like the Daehwandan.

Of course, Cheongyido did not know that the aggressor energy that resided in the Heavenly King’s Shrine was magic.

If the magic and spirit energy were separate energies, then it would be understandable, but it was not, since the two combined to create a new energy with a different nature.

As is often the case with worldly things, it was full of direct, strong, and destructive energy, but that was the limit of what Cheong-ui could think of.

So, from Qing’s point of view, it was just a ‘gift’ given with good intentions.

So, what is happening in Chamhoe-dong right now was a coincidence that was inevitable.

***

I knew intuitively that this elixir was the one that would most effectively increase my strength right now.

‘Was there such a potion?’

At that moment, goosebumps ran down my spine. If Cheongyi had known that I had mastered magic and had given it to me,

But no matter how much I thought about it, that didn’t make sense. I wish the leader of the shamanist faction would have beheaded the person who had mastered magic, and I wouldn’t have given him an elixir to cheer him up.

Also, the energy of this elixir is a mixture of magic and spiritual energy, so if you hadn’t seen or created the mixed energy yourself, you would never have known.

So what this means is that it was purely a coincidence that this came into my hands.

‘Is there such a thing as coincidence?’

The elixir that contained magic and spirit energy was given to me by Qingyi by chance, and I happened to be learning magic. It almost feels like fate.

Even the Chaehoe-dong is included. Chaehoe-dong is also used for closed-door training, so there is no chance for internal energy to escape.

If I were locked in the shaman’s den, I would have at least a few days to myself. It felt strangely immoral to drink a potion filled with magic in the shaman’s den, but there was no place that fit this description as well.

“good.”

“What’s good?”

I was startled by the faint sound of a voice.

“……who are you?”

I couldn’t help but feel intimidated when I heard a voice in the pitch-black darkness. When I asked, I got an unexpected answer.

“Me, tomorrow.”

“ah.”

Tomorrow’s voice could be heard from beyond the wall. The wall was thick to begin with, and the voice was so quiet that I had to really concentrate to hear it.

‘… … Ah. This kid hasn’t come out yet?’

I had forgotten for a moment. I was locked up in the Chamhoe-dong the next day. I think it was probably half a year. It seemed like a pretty harsh punishment for a child, but since it was the judgment of the master and the elder, I couldn’t say anything.

“Why did you come in?”

“I just opened my eyes and I was here. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“I guess you’ve thought about everything.”

I wanted him to sympathize with this unfair situation, but Myeongil had no empathy.

“How long were you in Chamhoe-dong?”

“I don’t even remember. I don’t know how time passes when I’m here.”

“I guess so.”

There was silence between me and Myeong-il. Actually, Myeong-il and I didn’t really have anything to talk about. Myeong-gyeong was a talkative person to begin with, but Myeong-il wasn’t like that and we weren’t close.

So I thought this silence would continue, but the silence was broken sooner than I thought.

“You know, how do you get so strong so quickly?”

“yes?”

“I can’t say I’ve seen many people, but you’re getting stronger so quickly.”

“Well, maybe it’s talent.”

I answered with a smile as usual, but Myeong-il didn’t seem to take it as a joke.

“Yes. It must be talent. I asked the wrong question.”

“I was joking.”

“Even if you say it’s a joke, it’s true that nothing else makes sense.”

I had nothing to say to Myeongil’s words. But I couldn’t say that it was because of the talent I bought at the Mujae store.

Suddenly, Myeongseong thought about it. Myeongseong also suffered from excessive pressure and ended up making a mistake. There was no guarantee that Myeongil would not follow the same path.

“That’s true, but… … .”

“You don’t have to worry. I’m not particularly jealous of you. Rather, I think you’re amazing.”

Myungil said it bluntly. As expected from a child, he had insight. He knew what I was worried about.

“That’s right.”

“But there’s something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you suddenly speaking formally?”

“ah.”

Suddenly, I remembered that I had spoken informally to Myeongil when I first saw him. It was natural. He was much younger than me, and I was not a disciple of the main temple.

But now, strangely, it seems like I have been completely incorporated into the distribution of disciples of the main temple even though I am a lay disciple. That is why I brought up the subject naturally.

“It just became more comfortable.”

“I feel uncomfortable.”

“Still, I endure it.”

At my words, Myeong-il also became silent for a moment as if he was speechless. Soon, Myeong-il’s voice was heard.

“Then that must be it.”

As expected, Myeongil adapted quickly. Although it was a kind of resignation based on indifference toward others.

“Did anything come of it in Chamhoe-dong?”

“Well, I don’t think there are any yet. Can you take a look?”

“What do you think? It’s not like I can move from room to room.”

“Have you ever tried swordsmanship? If I explain my swordsmanship, you just have to fight back.”

“Yes. I haven’t tried it before.”

“Really? Then learn it now.”

Tomorrow was resolute. I found myself agreeing with that strange spirit.

“yes.”

“I’ll go first. I’ll first stab your left and right shoulders with the Five Element Sword’s Green Wood Flower.”

“Easily dodged. Swish, swish.”

“… … I will block all sides of you with the mighty force of the flowing clouds of the flowing sword technique.”

“I’ll spill all that and counterattack. I’ll stab him in the neck right away. May the deceased rest in peace.”

“That’s not how you do it!”

Finally, Myeongil’s voice gained strength. I laughed, hehe.

“I was joking, but you’re being sensitive.”

“Do it again. Don’t fool around.”

Myeong-il said in a serious voice. Anyway, he was just like an unlovable brat. Actually, Myeong-gyeong would have been angry if she had been in the same situation. She was also a serious child when it came to martial arts.

I thought I had a rough idea of ​​how to do the swordsmanship. Since the swordsmanship that Myeongil would use was the swordsmanship of the Mudang faction, I could see the general outline of the swordsmanship without even needing to explain it further.

As I closed my eyes and listened to the first meal of Myeongil, it felt as if Myeongil was rushing in front of me. I responded with the first meal without realizing it. Myeongil was definitely the best of the three disciples of the distribution of Myeongja. He knew exactly when and how to use the first meal.

Although I won’t support Myeongil right now, it was enough learning to get a glimpse into Myeongil’s martial arts system.

As I became absorbed in the argument, I also became serious. I could hear a slight panting sound from beyond the wall. It seemed that Myung-il was also absorbed in it.

After thirty seconds of fighting, when I used the first skill of the Yuun Sword Technique, Yuunmu Saek, Myeong-il was momentarily speechless.

As I was wondering, I soon heard Myeongil’s voice.

“Is that okay?”

“What is it?”

“How can you block the water dragon island with a rainbow color and even counterattack?”

I answered Myungil’s questions one by one. Myungil’s questions continued, and I answered sincerely based on the movements in my imagination. Since it was a serious meeting, I did not mention any movements that I thought I could not do.

“……ah.”

And then at some point, a voice like the last words of Myeongil burst out.

It was immediately after that that the ground began to shake.
