Episode 539
Strong self-respect (7)
The next day, Yeon Ho-jeong immediately felt Makwon’s pulse.
“hmm.”
“Do you understand? “What kind of poison is it?”
Yeon Ho-jeong answered, letting go of Makwon’s pulse.
“As I said then, I don’t know exactly what kind of poison it is. “But I can tell what type it is.”
“That alone is somewhere. “You are truly a great person.”
Makwon was quite surprised.
The three religions were an unknown group living outside Saegui.
Different lands have different climates and different foods. This is because the environment is different.
Naturally, if the environment is different, the wild plants and animals are also different. In other words, no matter how well you knew the poisons of the central plains, you could not know the poisons of the outside world well.
Yeon Ho-jeong knows the type of poison that is impossible to decipher, not only for the bird, but also for himself as a member of the three armies.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong was surprised by Mak Won’s physical condition.
‘This much is natural…’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Makwon.
‘It’s truly an amazing martial arts skill.’
The opportunity to trace the pulse of an absolute expert who has overcome the limit does not come easily.
Yeon Ho-jeong was able to see, one by one, how solid and vast the map of Makwon was.
‘It’s amazing. It is a different level from Yang Buju. The superiority and inferiority of martial arts are clearly divided, but the martial arts that one has achieved is comparable to that of fighting kings.’
In the past, he also traced the pulse of Yangcheon.
I was very surprised even then. In fact, I have reached this level myself, but the process of getting there is completely different for each person.
In other words, Yeon Ho-jeong was already able to check the skills of the two Seongcheon-level powerhouses and discover traces of how they reached the peak.
Of course, following it did not mean that one could instantly realize the state of no polarity. But that alone could be of great help.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he pondered each and every map drawn by Makwon Gimaek.
“It is a type of neurotoxin. “It’s fortunate for you.”
“Relief?”
“If it had been blood poison, even you wouldn’t have been so fine. “It is not because of the concentration of poison, but because of the type of poison.”
“What do you mean?”
“The blood poison in the central plains is divided into two types. “It can cause extreme blood coagulation or, conversely, interfere with natural blood coagulation.”
“Huh.”
“You suffered serious internal injuries. There was also severe internal bleeding. “If there had been even one attack of this severe blood poison, my internal organs would have festered one by one.”
The organs fester one by one.
Even for the best expert in the world, a festering wound is fatal. In particular, if organs that cannot recover, such as the kidneys or lungs, fester, you will have to live with a disability for the rest of your life even if the poison is removed later.
“Of course, due to the nature of blood poison, it is difficult to combine it into a highly concentrated poison. “It is no exaggeration to say that in the Central Powers, except for the party, there is no group capable of creating extreme blood poison.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“yes. But just because it’s a neurotoxin doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. “He was a senior, so I endured it. Even a master of his caliber would have been in a serious position by now.”
“In normal cases, internal energy is transmitted to each part of the human body through the nerves. “I think that’s probably the case with almost all the inner gongsim laws that exist in the world.”
“That’s right. So, my senior is safe. “Because every single nerve is protected by absolute inner strength.”
“I know what you mean. However, not only my inner energy extends to this nerve, but also miasma also extends. And the source of that poison is my Danjeon. “Unless I remove the poisonous essence that has settled in my Danjeon, my body will gradually die.”
“That is an accurate judgment.”
Makwon’s face became serious.
“How is it? “Can you pull it out?”
Surprisingly, Yeon Ho-jeong nodded as if it was natural.
“I can pull it out.”
“Oh, I’m glad.”
“It is possible to pull them out, but the problem is that you can get hurt in the process.”
“Are you hurt?”
“You may lose some of your inner strength forever.”
It was quite a shocking story.
“Of course, it’s just my guess. To begin with, my knowledge of pharmacology is not that deep. “I only know a little about it because I have studied the poisons of the three religions.”
“How many people in the Central Plains and Heaven and Earth have studied the poisons of the Three Religions?”
“…Hardly any.”
“You are probably the only one.”
“Maybe.”
“If someone who is familiar with the poisons of the three religions says that, it would be the same no matter which doctor comes.”
Makwon’s expression wasn’t as bad as I thought.
“What is it like? Even if I lose some of my inner energy, it doesn’t mean that my enlightenment disappears. Wouldn’t it be a profitable business if such a dangerous poison could be removed for that much of a price?”
Do you have extraordinary mental strength?
Yes. Makwon was a person with strong mental strength who did not lose his composure even when he heard something that could be shocking to Muin.
But it wasn’t just a matter of mental strength.
For a master who had broken through the limit, losing some of his inner strength was not that big of a deal. Even if they lost one-third of their inner strength, they were the masters of martial arts who could regain their original strength within a few years.
However, not everyone can be as calm as Makwon. In any case, inner strength is the source of strength. How great would the sense of loss be if you think that in the past you could use the power of ten, but now you can only use the power of seven.
“If we find a way to get rid of tyranny without losing internal strength, we may be able to find it.”
“It will take time.”
“Maybe.”
“As time goes by, the miasma will expand, and the amount of energy I will ultimately lose will increase, right?”
“I guess so. “It’s just a guess.”

Makwon chuckled.
“There is no reason to worry. Just figure out a way. “I’ll pull it out right away.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“Whatever the reason, I am also responsible for allowing the poison to deepen to that point.”
“There is no need to bring up the past. “The important thing is now.”
“you’re right. However, he will be a valuable troop in the future war, so we should try our best.”
“Then what if the placenta loses its internal strength?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“If the situation is like that, we will ask the Vice Lord or the Murim Alliance to procure elixirs and try to restore it as much as possible.”
“This guy. “I’m not bragging, but if it’s half of my strength, it won’t be possible to fill it all even if I take ten pills of Shaolin’s Great Hwandan.”
If we simply consider the amount of energy, the power of ten Daehwandan pills is more than enough to overwhelm half of the inner power of Makwon.
However, the more advanced a person is and the more refined his or her power is used, the less effective the elixir will be.
When you are in the lower level, you can absorb all the medicinal power of a single pill, but as the level of internal energy increases, the amount that can be absorbed gradually decreases.
“Please wait a few days first. “I’m just saying the worst case scenario, and a poison expert’s perspective may be different.”
“If you really say that, I understand.”
“Please do your best to fly until I see you again. “That alone will be enough to prevent the spread of miasma.”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong came out of Makwon’s residence and immediately looked for the white paper.
“I need to send a letter to the Murim Alliance.”
“What kind of letter can I send?”
“Please ask Uiseonggakju Ki Woo-hee to be dispatched to Honam. Whatever you do, I will write it down.”
“If it’s such a simple letter, I’ll write it from here and deliver it right away.”
“Thank you. And please tell me this too.”
The letter Yeon Ho-jeong took out from her pocket was in a green envelope.
White Paper’s eyes lit up.
“Dangaju?”
“You must be in the Murim Alliance. “I need to find out more about senior Mak Won’s poison.”
“I understand.”
“then.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
The white paper said:
“Adjutant Yeon.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“I don’t know if there’s any need to tell you, but it looks like you’re looking for the adjutant that Princess Lee opened earlier.”
“Oh really?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I understand. “Thank you.”
“And Deputy Yeon.”
White Paper’s eyes deepened.
“If possible, don’t cause an accident.”
“Do you know what kind of troublemaker I am? Don’t worry. “I don’t plan on doing that either.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“But the vice-lord may think differently.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m just saying. “I’ll just go.”
Just like that, Yeon Ho-jeong left Baek Seo’s residence.
Baekseo muttered softly as he watched Yeonhojeong’s back moving away.
“As expected, he is a dangerous man.”
Purr purr.
The cave wall opened and the cool outside air soaked my lungs.
Yeon Ho-jeong left the Mukryongbu and headed to the place the maid told him about. It was a forest located southeast of the entrance to Mukryongbu.
And there was a barge there.
“You were looking for me?”
“Deputy Yeon.”
“For some reason, Princess Lee, whose construction work will be ruined, was looking for a way to revive her?”
Buseon’s eyes deepened.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as if looking at her speechless.
“You missed it.”
“How did you know?”
“You can tell that just by looking at the expression.”
“….”
“Did you train with a priest?”
“I didn’t.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“Proving your abilities by directly defeating the Great Brother… is not an extremely flimsy reason.”
“The third one is arrogant. My pride is too strong. So, he looks simple and easy to handle, but if he is judged to be weak, he will make all kinds of noise.”
“It won’t be easy for a person with that level of pettiness to hold down the position of successor without the ability to cook.”
“I just didn’t want to worry about a guy I didn’t need to worry about. “It’s better to do it myself than to train with a clumsy guy.”
“To be polite.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“So why did you call me? If you miss it, you don’t have to chase after it and break off its branches.”
He was also good at saying harsh words.
Bu-seon gazed at Yeon-ho-jeong.
“You know what?”
“what?”
“At times like this, you look even darker than us.”
“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult.”
“It’s a compliment. “I’m also jealous.”
“So what do you have to say?”
“Let me be blunt. When is your next mission?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“What are you going to do with that?”
“If possible, I also want to step into the next mission.”
“….”
“Can’t we?”
“Why are you asking me that? Wouldn’t it be better to go directly to Master and ask for permission?”
“Master, you are not the kind of person who cares about such trivial things.”
“Well, he is like that too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong crossed his arms.
“Why do you want to go on this mission together?”
“It must be dangerous, right?”
“mission? of course. “If you make a mistake, your life could be lost.”
“It’s not new.”
“yes. The only problem is that it can be really dangerous. I am on my way to persuade a Seongcheon-level powerhouse. “If, by chance, a master of his caliber blunders and kills us, none of us will come back alive, right?”
“I’m planning to take my younger brother, who is my sworn brother, and the swordsman of Botaam.”
“….”
“There must be a reason, right?”
“okay.”
“I don’t know the details, but isn’t the main reason why you risk your life to learn about the world?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.
“That’s the biggest reason.”
“I want to do that too.”
“….”
“Please lead me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Buseon, smiled coldly.
“As expected, you are still not good enough.”
“yes?”
“What will happen to your master’s reputation if you ask for a favor like that?”
Buseon’s face hardened.
“Excuse me?”
“Master told you to watch over me?”
Buseon’s eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was examining her eyes, soon smiled and turned around.
“Before learning about the world, it would be better to take care of yourself. “I still don’t have enough discipline.”
“Deputy Yeon. “I…”
“Go catch that clumsy ambassador. “Then I will consider it.”
Sreuk.
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped and looked back at the boat.
Bu-seon flinched at the cold, shiny eyes.
“Keep in mind. “Why did I give you a chance?”
“….”
“Strong self-respect is not a rule that only applies to you. Since you come here, don’t forget that I too am living by the rules of strong self-respect.”
