Episode 42
“Since when have you been watching?”
“Before this move.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I felt like it was an important moment and I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“······The disciple is finally able to handle white lightning.”
“That’s amazing. “I had no idea that I would become a thunder spirit so quickly.”
“But there is something I want to ask you.”
“What are you curious about?”
“The teacher said that he would come to understand it naturally, but the disciple still has no idea what brain spirit is. “I don’t think anything has changed except that I learned how to handle white lightning.”
“Try luck.”
“······?”
“You will find out if you try.”
I obeyed Dokgo Woojin’s instructions and sat down and closed my eyes.
The energy that emanated from the dantian began to circulate through the blood vessels.
Around the time I achieved Little Zhou Heaven, I realized one thing.
‘······This is absurd.’
It has become possible to burn off the waste and toxins accumulated in the body with thunder energy.
The method was simple.
All I had to do was add the energy of thunder to the inner energy that moved through the blood path without hesitation.
‘This works?’
As the Zhou Heavens continued, the blood path became purer and the inner energy became purer.
Originally, it was a rough method that required the practitioner’s life as collateral, but the blood vessels strengthened by the supernormal ability of the White Thunder Godkung endured without hesitation.
After finishing the fortune telling, I got up from my seat, looked back at Dokgo Woojin with a bewildered expression, and asked.
“Did the White Lightning God Technique have abilities like this?”
“Are you surprised?”
“I think I understand now. “What does it mean to achieve brain spirit?”
“Not everyone who practices the White Lightning Divine Gong can experience such supernormal abilities. “Among our predecessors’ successors, there are many who have not achieved brain spirit.”
“Is it possible to arbitrarily remove impurities and toxins from the body? I’ve never heard of a martial art capable of something like this. “Isn’t it actually a metamorphosis?”
A body that had been strengthened and freed of impurities by practicing the White Thunder Godkong for a long time was no different from a body that had achieved transformation.
A martial arts technique that allows for artificial transformation.
If other martial arts people had heard this story, they would have laughed at me and asked what nonsense I was saying.
“It’s similar, but a little different. “The performance of the body strengthened by the supernormal abilities of the White Thunder Divine Technique cannot be compared to that of an ordinary warrior who has achieved transformation.”
“her······.”
“Additional effects cannot be ignored. “Of course, you will be able to maintain your best physical condition at all times, and you will not have to worry about minor illnesses.”
Dokgo Woo-jin’s remarks made me feel proud.
A laugh escaped my lips.
A conversation I had with him not long ago flashed through my mind.
[Anyway, I’ve accomplished more than I thought. As long as I can utilize what I have properly, I won’t be too far behind if I fight the Demon Slayer again.]
[Anyway, it’s not that bad.]
[I’m not saying anything particularly exaggerated. Didn’t you say this is a story about when you can properly utilize what you have?]
[······?]
[If you achieve brain spirit, you will understand naturally.]
I didn’t understand it at the time.
But I felt like I knew now.
‘I thought it was just a word expressing the level of martial arts.’
I was mistaken.
The brain mind was regarded as a point of attainment.
In reality, it was the opposite.
Brain Mind was the starting point.
Now that I have achieved brain spirit, there are endless possibilities before me.
‘If I can completely control the state, I might really be able to fight on equal footing with the demon of evil spirits.’
No, it may be possible not only to be equal but to overwhelm.
Dokgo Woojin looked at me with a complicated expression and muttered.
“You learn so fast that soon I might run out of things to teach you.”
“Aren’t you happy with your disciple’s growth?”
“Of course I’m happy. “I just felt a little pressured because I was such a great student.”
“We will make it even more burdensome.”
“Don’t look forward to it. By the way, the date to visit the Tang family has been set.”
“······.”
The excitement subsided quickly.
It felt like what was coming was coming.
Dokgo Woojin continued talking as if driving a wedge.
“Ten days later, at noon, come to the Tang family with me. Until then, try to get as used to handling white lightning as possible.”
“······All right.”

The day when the owner of Hwayang Sangdan left Sacheon was approaching.
I, along with Cheon Ga-ryeong, saw him off in front of the main gate of Cheongwoon Gaekjan.

“Thank you so much.”
“Please proceed carefully.”
“Take this.”
Just before getting on the carriage, the owner of Hwayang Sangdan handed me a red jewel.
It was a handcrafted item the size of half a finger, with the word Hwayang (貨洋) engraved on the outside.
It seemed that things that were transparent on the inside were not usually valuable items.
“What is this?”
“It is a sign indicating that the holder is an important guest of the upper level. If you show this, you will be able to easily make business with the branches of Hwayang Sangdan located in various places.”
“Do you mind if I give you something like this?”
“What? “Can’t she do this much to the benefactor who saved her son’s life?”
“I will accept it gratefully.”
“If you happen to stop by Zhejiang someday, come visit Huayang Sangdan’s headquarters. “At that time, I will treat you to expensive food and alcohol.”
“Thank you just for your words.”
It was an unexpected gift, but I had no reason to refuse it.
Even if that wasn’t the case, I wanted to continue the exchange with Hwayang Sangdan.
“Then I’ll just leave.”
The carriage with the owner of Hwayang Sangdan traveling away at high speed.
As I was looking at the jewelry in my hand, I turned around with a faint smile on my face.
I felt good when I thought that I had stolen something that should have been the leader of the cult.
‘Anyway, following Haomun, he also touched the Hwayang Sangdan, so the leader of the cult will probably notice this change.’
The total number of military books written by the religious leader is five.
I have intercepted two of the arrangements he has prepared so far.
One time could be a coincidence.
But what if the same thing happens again?
I did not think that the religious leader, who had a thorough personality, would ignore this incident and move on.
‘It will be difficult to intercept the remaining three, right?’
* * *
The signboard located above the huge gate caught the eye.
Sichuan Tang family.
‘It came in the end.’
The Saints’ loser.
A huge martial arts force that occupied the first place in the five great families.
A den of madmen that all warriors of the Right and Evil Demon cannot help but fear.
These were all words referring to the party family.
‘I never thought the day would come when I would step into the Tang family.’
I followed Dokgo Woojin into Sega and looked around with a small sigh.
The Tang family greatly values the information and knowledge that the family has accumulated over generations.
Because of this, there was a strong tendency to reject outsiders.
Perhaps that’s why the gazes of the householders were not kind as they looked at us as we moved around with the guidance of the gatekeeper.
A look mixed with discomfort and wariness.
Still, I thought it was too rude since he came as a guest, but I didn’t make the mistake of saying it out loud.
I wasn’t reckless enough to cause trouble in such a dangerous place.
“Master, is everything okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone is looking at us with grim expressions.”
“Don’t worry about it. “They won’t harm us.”
“I’m not particularly worried about harm, but…”
“They have a strong closed nature and are strict about benevolence, but Tang family warriors are basically people who know honor.”
“······.”
It seemed that Dokgo Woojin had a different opinion from me.
In my memories, the warriors of the Tang family were cowardly and small-minded people.
How far did it travel like that?
“I meet my benefactor.”
A woman appeared in front.
She was a woman with impressive looks in a different way than Cheon Ga-ryeong.
Even though he was wearing a loose long robe, the curves of his body were clearly visible through the clothes.
Her long black hair was neatly tied behind her neck, and a colorful butterfly decoration was placed on the top of her head.
Although he was not very tall, he exuded a strange sense of intimidation.
The hideous burns that covered half of his face added to his intense impression.
‘This is my first time seeing it in person.’
It was immediately apparent that she was a direct blood relative of the Sichuan Tang family mentioned in the letter delivered from Haomun.
Did you say Dang Seoyeon?
From what I heard, it seemed like I continued to try to contact Dokgo Woojin even after I became the contemporary successor to Cheonnoemun.
Since I visited him at his house rather than at the Hwangryongmugwan, he has never met me directly until now.
‘By the way… are you a poisonous person?’
The woman seemed to have a peculiar, German-like aura of reluctance.
The Tang family was a military family with a very closed nature.
Only blood relatives can inherit the family’s martial arts.
Among them, those treated as visions could only be accessed by immediate relatives.
Not even all direct blood relatives could learn the vision.
‘Because she’s a female soloist. The opposition from those around me must have been formidable.’
A single woman cannot have children.
To be exact, you shouldn’t have children.
Because the poison is transmitted to the fetus, it causes the terrible experience of stillbirth.
I narrowed my eyes and muttered in my mind.
‘Why didn’t I see this person in my past life? There’s no way I wouldn’t remember a person with such clear characteristics.’
If it was a person I didn’t remember, it would be one of two things.
Either he died before I left Jamma-dong and started working as a strongman, or he was a person not worth remembering.
‘There’s nothing good about being tangled up in it.’
By my standards, as a demonic cultist in my past life, there were very few sane people in the Four Heavenly Dang Family.
Even the simple-minded demon cultists did not want to have anything to do with the Tang family.
First of all, the idea of using poison is unpleasant, but the family custom is so damn bad.
There was even talk that if you held a grudge against the party, you would never be able to eat with peace of mind for the rest of your life.
‘A normal human wouldn’t learn poisonous techniques.’
In the first place, the idea of injecting poison into the body to increase internal strength and raise the level of martial arts was strange.
In a way, isn’t it a martial arts that is more dangerous than a magic attack?
In fact, I knew that quite a few people died while practicing martial arts.
‘Not to mention if you are German.’
If you were the daughter of the Sacheondang family, you would have been able to find a way to become a master even if you didn’t have to become a German.
I knew it intuitively.
It was clear that the woman named Tang Seo-yeon was someone to be especially careful of among the crazy people in the Tang family.
After exchanging ceremonial greetings with her, I tried to urge Dokgo Woojin to leave immediately.
“Let’s go together.”
“······?”
However, things in this world do not always go as planned.
Even though we didn’t ask for it, Dang Seo-yeon, who sent the gatekeeper away, volunteered to provide directions.
She added with a faint smile on her lips.
“Right now, I also have some business to attend to my father, or rather, the head of the family.”
martial arts,
