Episode 47 – Automatic Merit (2)

The conversion merit that caused the error with the numbers that went, “Challa-la-la-la-la.”

Putter, putter, putter, putter!

The folding screen also seemed to have lost its function and was having a seizure. The folding screen, which escaped my hand and was flailing around, was like a live fish coming out of the ground.

Perhaps because the overwhelming amount of virtue had suddenly hit him, he was shaking and trembling as if he was having convulsions rather than running wild.

Anyway, it wasn’t as violent as I thought because it was a seizure caused by a loss of function.

But I couldn’t easily subdue the folding chair······

‘Ahhh···!’

Because my innate energy was empty, my body was completely disobedient.

In simple terms, innate energy is life force, and if innate energy is empty, it means that life force is empty.

That is, I was like a lifeless corpse, and so I was in a state where I could neither move nor should I move.

Because the matter was so serious, I overdid it······.

‘Is this too much?’

If I had pushed myself any further, my life would have been in danger.

Fortunately, the commotion soon subsided.

To be exact, it would be more accurate to say that he was knocked out, fainted… I don’t know if this is the right expression for a person like that.

I carefully picked up the folding chair that had collapsed on the floor.

[Hwan─ ─Deok(─)] – ──9──9──

And the still invisible conversion merit.

Although it is a natural talent, I thought that I should solve this first, so after a brief moment of thought, I left a message in the chat room.

└[Cheongun]

: Seniors, I’m here…

* * *

This was my report of survival after over a month, including the time I passed out after the Pa Yang Lake incident.

however.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Huh? You’re here now?

└[Hyeonhyeonja (玄玄子) Jang Sambong]

: Is the youngest here?

└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]

: It came sooner than I thought. No, it’s been over a month, so I guess it’s just okay?

The gods of the chatroom didn’t seem surprised at all. They seemed to have naturally accepted that I hadn’t contacted them······.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Right, who told you to try the Cheon-dun Sword Technique so easily?

It seemed like he thought I had lost contact with him after getting a taste of the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

That wasn’t a wrong statement.

But that wasn’t entirely true.

Maybe that’s why Gucheonhyeonnyeo didn’t say anything, but instead, Yeo Dongbin’s words came to mind like lightning.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: Youngest. What happened during that time? Hurry up, hurry up and tell me quickly!!

Yeo Dong-bin’s urgent words as if he was reading her mood.

Yeo Dong-bin’s face in the portrait was dripping with cold sweat. Knowing the reason, I couldn’t help but laugh.

└[Cheongun]

: That······.

I wrote down in detail what happened at Pa Yang Lake.

Of course, I didn’t forget to ‘adapt’ it appropriately. There would be no benefit in talking about things related to Dang So-hyang when looking at the silent Gucheonhyeonnyeo.

└[Cheongun]

: ······That’s why I haven’t been able to contact you until now. I’m sorry, seniors.

That was when the long story ended.

Suddenly, a quiet silence fell over the room.

“Did something go wrong?”

At that time, I had that thought.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: What the heck is this…?

The absurd words of Jongli Kwon floated over the scroll.

And that was the beginning.

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: First, the Cheon-dun sword technique······.

└[Hyeonhyeonja (玄玄子) Jang Sambong]

: You said you used it… Ioh?

└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]

: And yet···.

└[Purple House Immortal Gwangseongja]

: You’re not dead? You’re, you’re alive…? And you were resurrected after only a month?

└[Gwangyeongja (廣零子) abuse]

: Are you kidding…? You’re kidding, right? Right? You’re kidding to make fun of us, right?

└[Purple House Immortal Gwangseongja]

: I know the youngest wouldn’t be kidding, but this isn’t it···.

└[Auxiliary Emperor Wang Zhongyang]

: Is this the Thousand-Li-Delayed Body···?

The words of the surprised and astonished gods came to mind one after another.

So, all the immortals were shocked that I had used the Cheon-dun Sword Technique.

Among them, Yeo Dong-bin’s reaction was the most unique.

└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]

: What are you saying? Ararararararararararar?!?!?

Yeo Dong-bin in the portrait floating next to the text.

Yeo Dong-bin rolled his eyes and fainted, then grabbed the back of his neck, and with bubbles bubbling around his mouth, he finally fell over and fainted.

There has never been such a fuss like this before, but at first I wondered if it was something for the gods to make such a fuss about.

But when I tried using the Cheon-dun sword technique myself······.

“It was a crazy martial arts.”

It was definitely a crazy ‘something’ that couldn’t be defined as martial arts.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Youngest, how is it that you come back after not contacting me for a while and then you’re a different person? I was going to give you a good scolding this time, but what is this…

Still, I felt a sense of pride when even Taesangnogun said something like that.

└[Cheongun]

: Actually, I did use the innate energy, but…

It was at that very moment that I remembered that phrase.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: What?!?!??!? Are you crazy?!!!!?!!?!!

Suddenly, the words of Gucheonhyeonnyeo came to mind like a bolt from the blue.

Her face in the portrait next to the text was filled with shock and despair beyond surprise, which made me feel quite embarrassed.

I could understand being shocked.

But is it something to the extent of causing ‘despair’?

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: What are you going to do if you use the innate ability!!!!

It seemed like it was because I used my innate energy. Once you use up your innate energy, it cannot be restored.

“But is it really that surprising?”

That would be the case, as it was not like there was no way to restore the innate energy.

Recovery was impossible even with the highest quality elixir, but recovery was possible with the ‘Internal Elixir’ containing the ‘Natural Energy’.

Of course, it was incredibly rare and extremely expensive, but that wasn’t a big problem.

Of course, Ju Gwan-cheon did not steal the imperial secrets this time. As a result, he could not receive the elixir, but he was able to receive the fortune of Cheon San-ja, which was unimaginable.

In other words, I had a wealth that would never run dry no matter how much I used it, so all I had to do was buy the Nae-dan that would restore my innate energy even if it meant spending a lot of money.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: I···. I really can’t live! What should I do··· Seriously, what should I do···!!!

But, seeing Gucheonhyeonnyeo so sad, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

└[Cheongun]

: Sister, you don’t have to worry so much.

I told Gucheonhyeonnyeo in detail about my current situation.

however.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Hey, youngest. Your innate energy isn’t something that can be restored that easily.

Suddenly, Jong-Ri-Kwon expressed his embarrassment and recalled the words.

└[Cheongun]

: Yes? What do you mean?

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: As you know, the innate vitality is the life force of the origin, so using the innate vitality means using the life force.

So, the method that was used to endure until the very end and say, ‘Hey, I don’t know, let’s die together!’ was the innate jin-gi.

To put it simply, it was a case of giving up on living and using it, and I had that kind of mindset too.

In that sense, my waking up and moving like this could be called a ‘miracle’.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: And the definition of ‘life force’ is different for each person. Just as each person’s innate talent is different, the amount and purity of innate energy also varies for each person. What was your talent?

└[Cheongun]

: What you call my talent is…

A body with limbs from heaven.

A talent that distorts even the heavens, an overwhelming talent and body that the heavens fear.

So the innate energy that I possessed was different from the general innate energy.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: If it weren’t for the Gongcheongseok Oil, no elixir in the world would be able to restore the innate energy that you, the youngest, possess.

This was the reason why Gucheonhyeonnyeo fell into ‘despair’, and also the reason why I was able to cast the Cheontun Sword Technique.

Empty clear petroleum.

It was the elixir that was the ultimate elixir and was called the ‘pinnacle’.

In a place where the energy of nature is especially condensed, there is a single drop of water that has been concentrated for a very long time and falls. It is called ’empty stone oil’.

Although it was only a tiny amount, like a single drop, its efficacy was unparalleled among all elixirs.

It is basic to cure all diseases.

According to legend, it is said that it can even bring the dead back to life.

Above all, it is known to increase the internal energy of those who have mastered martial arts by over 100 years.

It is a tremendous amount that can easily put an ordinary person in the top rank in the world, so it is not called the ‘pinnacle of elixirs’ for nothing.

Of course, it’s precious.

No, it’s not that it’s precious, it’s that it doesn’t exist.

It is impossible to even find them because they are mostly made in rugged valleys, deep mountains, or caves where people cannot enter.

So just once.

The Gongcheongseok Oil has only been revealed to the world once. And in order to obtain it, not only all the martial artists in the world, but even the royal family came forward.

I don’t know the details because it happened long before I was born.

However, all I knew was that at some point, Gongcheong Oil disappeared and no longer fell into anyone’s hands.

So, what I’m saying is that my innate energy can only be restored with Gongcheongseok Oil.

It was the same as saying that there was no way to recover in this world······but.

└[Emperor Divine Right]

: Fortunately, recovery is possible with the ‘Seondan’ made by the old senior…

It would have been possible in the celestial world.

To be exact, it was possible if it was Taesangnogun.

Seondan (仙丹).

It means the internal elixir of immortality created by the immortals of the celestial world, and Taesang Laojun was the ‘highest authority’ in the production of such elixirs.

The famous ‘Jecheon Daeseong’ also coveted the fleet made by Taesang Laojun and caused trouble from time to time, so its effectiveness was certain.

Even if I were a heavenly being who could distort even the heavens, I would never be able to surpass the Supreme Being.

And looking back at previous events, I was able to communicate with the celestial world to some extent through the scroll.

In other words, it means that the fleet that Taesang Laojun created can also be obtained through the scroll.

└[Nine Heavenly Wise Women]

: Please, save the youngest… save the youngest…

The eyes of the Goocheonhyeonnyeo were filled with tears. They were delicate and pitiful, like flower buds that looked ready to burst at any moment.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Don’t worry, Nangrang. I won’t just sit by and watch my youngest die either.

After a while, Taesang Laojun’s words came to mind again.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: It is not difficult to create a fleet of a reasonable level. However, the cost is not mine, but the youngest who must bear it all. Youngest, this means that the consumption of your virtue will not be insignificant.

So, Taesangnogunpyo’s fleet is of an appropriate level.

The horse was of a ‘moderate’ standard, but the value of this fleet, which could be called a treasure, was······.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: At least 10 years of merit will be required.

10 years.

That means I could only get it by paying 10 years of my life.

“If this happens···”

It was really difficult.

Ten years is not a small amount of money, and it is an unbearable amount of merit for me.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: How much merit do you have now?

In response to the following question from Taesang Nogun, I confirmed the merit of Hwansan.

[Hwan─ ─Deok(─)] – ──9──9──

But the conversion merit still causes errors.

I wrote a note on the bulletin board again.

└[Cheongun]

: Oh right, there’s something I forgot to tell you. My conversion merit is not visible.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: I don’t see the merit of conversion? What do you mean?

└[Cheongun]

: That’s it.

I explained the matter to the Grand Master in detail and in detail.

* * *

To sum up, the answer was ‘error’.

And the reason why the footman made this mistake was because even the Supreme Lord Lao had not anticipated it.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: Huh···! How could I have accumulated virtue for over 1,000 days?

I am saying that I will accumulate merit for over ‘999 days’.

The reason I was able to confirm the ‘Hwansan Merit’ through the scroll was because Taesang Laojun created this function.

However, there was a price to pay for this, namely that the merits of the Supreme Emperor were consumed in creating this function.

He did not specify exactly how much merit was consumed.

However, it seemed to consume quite a bit, and the cost of the consumed merit seemed to vary depending on how much could be ‘converted’.

In other words, the higher the maximum amount of merit that can be converted, the higher the cost.

So, Taesang Laojun judged that no matter how hard I tried, I would not be able to accumulate more than 999 days of merit at once.

Therefore, it is said that the conversion function for more than 999 days was deemed unnecessary and the limit was set to that extent to save costs.

Anyway, Taesangnogun quickly corrected the error.

So now we can even convert between units of ‘day’ and ‘month’.

[Conversion of merit] – 120 months and 32 days.

It was confirmed that he had a lifespan of over 120 months and accumulated merits amounting to a total of 3,682 days.

[Conversion of Merit] – 120 months 36 days (+4 days)

To be exact, it amounts to 3,686 days of merit.

[Conversion of Merit] – 120 months 48 days (+12 days)

So, the merit accumulated for 3,698 days-.

[Conversion of Merit] – 120 months 57 days (+9 days)

······It was confirmed that the merits had accumulated over approximately 120 months.

And if you convert this into years, it was a merit worth over 10 years.

└[Cheongun]

: I guess I can buy the fleet right now?

I don’t know if ‘purchase’ is the right expression.

Then silence fell over the room.

It seemed as if the scribe had made another mistake, but even after a long time had passed, no one could recall the words.

Only one.

└[Taishang Laojun (Great Elder Lord) Laozi]

: ············What?

Only the words of Taesang Laojun, who was walking along the path of enlightenment, floated above the scroll.
