Chapter 137: Lazy, Lazy (5)
"therefore……."
The pharmacist coughed loudly.
“Uh, um…….”
As he stalled, the new investigator frowned.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, no…….”
“Let me speak frankly. Is that okay?”
Even as he spoke, Shin Gi-su never turned his head toward Wi Yeon-ho, as if he didn't want to see him. Even if he didn't look at him, he seemed to be able to live.
“No, that’s…….”
Despite the urging of the new investigator, the head of the medical team couldn't give a proper answer. He was also at a loss as to how to explain the situation.
The head of the medical team, realizing that there was no way to explain Wei Yanho's situation right away, began to reveal the diagnosis one by one.
“First of all, there may or may not be a threat to life.”
“……What are you saying?”
The new investigator's face contorted. Where did such an absurd diagnosis come from?
“So, will it recover?”
“That… might work, or it might not….”
“Are you trying to joke around with me right now?”
“No, that’s not it…….”
The pharmacist felt very wronged.
"This is the first time I've seen this symptom, so it's difficult to say anything. Even if you brought in the best doctor in the world, they wouldn't be able to accurately diagnose this condition."
“Ugh.”
The new detective groaned.
He knows that too. He can tell just by looking at it.
Who in the world would ever see such a sight? No one, past or present, has ever seen anything like it. So, it's only natural that there's no diagnosis.
“Why did it end up like that?”
“What should I say about that…….”
The pharmacist scratched his head. The reality of having to explain this absurd matter was heartbreaking.
“This is… no, didn’t Prince Wei Yanhu say that he absorbed all the magic energy from those suffering from the disease?”
"That's right. What's wrong with that? Like the coin-pouring?"
"No. That's not it. Absorbing the magic itself isn't a problem. The problem is… that along with that magic, your inner strength was also absorbed."
“What is the background?”
The new detective's face hardened slightly.
“Could it be something like the Absorption Method?”
The subject of the Absorption Method was bound to be a very sensitive one. The practice of stealing someone's personal history has always been classified as one of the most vicious of sorcery.
If Wei Yanhu had mastered the Absorption Technique, that in itself could be a problem.
"That's not the case. It seems the internal energy was completely combined with the magic, making it impossible to separate and absorb it. But then again, you can't just leave the magic behind to preserve the internal energy, right?"
“Isn’t it true that absorbing someone else’s history isn’t something you can just do if you want to?”
"Anyone can absorb internal energy with a suction device. It depends on the degree and efficiency. In my opinion, this alone cannot be used to criticize Confucius Wei Yanhu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yanho turned his head and looked at the new investigator.
“What are you trying to find fault with again!”
However, the new investigator ignored his words as if he had not heard Wi Yeon-ho at all.
“I see. Let’s continue.”
The pharmacist cleared his throat and continued speaking.
"Well, that's what it is. I absorbed both my psychic power and magic. But it was absorbed too excessively."
“Huh? Excessively?”
"Yes. So, you absorbed more energy than your body could handle. Normally, in such a case, you shouldn't be able to absorb any more, but for some reason, you just kept sucking it in."
“…….”
The new investigator stared blankly at the head of the medical staff, then turned his head slightly. Wi Yeon-ho's swollen belly came into view.
'Then what about that?'
“Now, wait a minute. Is that even possible?”
“Of course, it would be normal if it were impossible…….”
"Energy isn't just food, so how can you say it swells up just by absorbing too much of it? Then, shouldn't all those with strong stamina have plump bellies?"
“I really don’t know how to explain this….”
The pharmacist continued speaking in a tone that showed that he too was unable to hide his bewilderment.
"So, as I said before, if the internal energy is too much for the danjeon to absorb, it should just flow out. Or should I say, let it flow out? In any case, that's normal, but…"
The herbalist swallowed dry saliva and continued his explanation.
"The opposite case also exists. If this isn't external energy, but rather internal energy that has been refined to a certain degree, it can accumulate within the body, rather than in the dantian."
“Huh? Is there such a case?”
"You probably know this. If you take an elixir and don't absorb it properly, won't the energy disperse throughout your body?"
“Yes. There are cases like that.”
“This is such a case.”
“Huh?”
The pharmacist reached out and pressed the stomach of Uiyeonho, which looked like it was going to burst.

"Careful, you bastard! You'll explode."
"It looks like it's going to burst, but surprisingly, it doesn't. Look. Isn't it incredibly solid? It looks soft, but it's actually incredibly solid. And the reason is…"
“……Why?”
“Because what is filling this ship right now is similar to a river.”
“Huh?”
The new detective's eyes widened.
Kang Ki?
Is it true that the pharmacist just said "gangi"? He couldn't have misheard, so does that mean all the plump things in that stomach are ganggi?
“……But how are you still alive?”
"It's like a strong energy, but not a strong energy. It seems like you're having trouble understanding, so let me explain. How do you create the hard energy that comes with swordsmanship and fist fighting?"
“It’s about gathering energy and making it tangible.”
“Then what about Kang-gi?”
“Let’s gather that energy even more….”
The new investigator stopped talking. He understood what the pharmacist had said.
“Ah, so… are you saying that the energy that wasn’t absorbed into Wi Yeon-ho’s body is now gathering and gathering again and solidifying like a strong energy?”
“That’s correct.”
“Then what happens?”
“……I don’t know.”
The pharmacist shrugged.
"Isn't this the kind of thing you use the word 'unprecedented' for? While it may have some research value, it's only as valuable as research. No doctor can cure a disease they know nothing about and have no similarities to existing conditions. This is exactly the case."
“…….”
“Still, as a member of the National Assembly, I predict that if the patient can absorb all of this energy, he will become invincible.”
"oh?"
“But that never happens.”
“Is that so? But still, this guy has always managed to do things that others say he absolutely can’t do.”
“Ask yourself.”
I don't want to ask.
The new investigator's face distorted and he looked back at Wi Yeon-ho.
“Wouldn’t that work?”
“Hey, you have to make sense.”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged. No, he seemed to be trying to shrug, but because he was so buried in his flesh, all you could see was a flinch in his shoulders.
"Even for me, this is impossible. It's beyond human capabilities."
“Oh, really?”
"If I could absorb all this energy, there's nothing I can't do. I could even blow up a mountain with a single finger."
“Is that so?”
The new investigator's eyes widened. In terms of understanding martial arts, the investigator couldn't match Wei Yanhu. Few in the martial arts world were stronger than Wei Yanhu, and few were more knowledgeable about martial arts than him.
If such a great man says this, then it is certain.
But it doesn't make sense from a common sense perspective.
“No matter how strong your inner strength is, is that possible?”
"It's not about having strong internal energy. Being able to absorb this much energy means your dantian is wider than the ocean, and a dantian wider than the ocean means your martial arts level is higher than that of a true immortal."
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Then, if someone who could easily become a monk if he wanted to, were to deliberately remain on earth, then he wouldn’t be considered human.”
“I don’t quite understand, so I’m saying this…….”
The new detective laughed in vain as he spoke.
I don't quite understand.
How many times had Shin Gi-su-sa Jo Hyeon said something like this in her life? But what Wi Yeon-ho was saying now was truly violating even the most basic of common sense.
“Is that possible? To that level?”
"That's why I said it doesn't make sense. You know, the people in Shaolin who are called living Buddhas."
“Yeah, there is.”
“In Buddhism, they call it a living Buddha. What do they call it in Taoism? Since it is a living immortal, is it a living immortal?”
“Hey, you ungodly bastard! What’s a fish!”
“Then what do you call me?”
“Ah, ahem, let’s move on for now.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders again and continued speaking.
"Anyway, there are such gentlemen, but they aren't truly living Buddhas or immortals. They're people who are strong and have lived long lives, but haven't yet reached enlightenment or nirvana."
"yes."
"But that's not really the case. There are those who have entered the realm of immortals or Buddhas while still alive. They have transcended the limitations of the physical body. It wouldn't be impossible for them to digest or utilize this level of energy."
“I understand what you are saying.”
The new detective frowned.
“Who has reached such a level?”
“Our master.”
“……Are you talking about the Sword Emperor?”
“Yes. I think you’ll digest it like eating cold porridge.”
“…….”
The new investigator sighed.
'No, that guy isn't some kind of magic key.'
Any situation, even the most absurd, becomes resolved when the Sword Emperor's name is mentioned. Sword Emperor Baek Muhan seemed to exist solely to defy common sense.
"Now you know why this won't work. To digest this, I need to be as strong as a master."
The new detective nodded quietly.
I understand.
“How do you compare yourself to your teacher now?”
Wi Yeon-ho narrowed his eyes slightly with swollen cheeks.
“Hmm, that’s a difficult question.”
'Huh?'
In the past, when asked to discuss his teacher, Wei Yanho would immediately reply that he wasn't even worthy of being called a teacher. But now that he's giving it some thought, doesn't that mean he's ready to take a closer look?
“Still, it seems like we can still be rivals.”
“It has to be your opponent.”
"also!"
Wei Yanhu became stronger.
The bishops of the Demonic Cult must have been astonished to see him swatting away flies. With that level of skill, wouldn't he have been able to win at least one battle in a thousand?
But Wi Yeon-ho's answer was completely different from Shin Gi-su's thoughts.
“I think I can hold out for three seconds now, but I’m not sure if I can hold out for five seconds.”
“…….”
Three seconds?
Oh, what?
Not three hundred seconds, but three seconds?
"Of course, if Master were to get angry and hit me hard, I wouldn't be able to hold out for even a second… Hmm, no, I think I could hold out for one hit. I'm a bit of a wuss, after all."
The new detective raised his head and looked out the window.
'What kind of person was that author, the Sword Emperor?'
It was a new investigation that made him understand why Jeon Kang-ho could not withstand his tyranny and tried to kill him.
