How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 41
Chapter 10. Will (2)
This time, Jegal Hyunmong made a promise with the later Jijis.
In return for my cooperation, I will teach you some magic.
In fact, the latter indices were not very helpful this time.
In the end, both in terms of taking down Mine and in terms of negotiating with the Murim Alliance.
But even so, it is true that there is nothing wrong with creating a link with the later indices.
And the later indices also promised a price.
Zhuge Jun taught Cheon Gi Bo and was supposed to send Zhuge Se Ga’s books in the future.
The Tang Hwaryeong visits the Tang Ga Chang and is given the authority to create any item he wants.
And Samarin had agreed to provide support with the supply of Cheongryungwan and various rare medicinal herbs.
It was something that came with its own price.
And I was personally curious.
‘I wonder if I can teach magic to other people?’
It is true that personal curiosity also played a significant role.
And as soon as he started, Zhuge Xuanmong realized that it was not so easy.
“Whew… … Now I understand why the power of the Suljong was not that great.”
Zhuge Jun, who had been trying to feel the magic for a while, said this at the end as he gave up.
“For someone whose lower dantian is already open, it is very difficult to open the upper dantian.”
“Then you can’t learn magic?”
The most disappointed person in this situation was none other than Samarin.
Because he had hopes that he could improve his constitution through Jegal Hyunmong’s magic.
And Samarin had no intention of giving up on this hope.
‘If it’s impossible for me to learn magic, then I just need to find someone who can.’
Samarin’s eyes glowed sinisterly.
As expected of a Sima family member, she had a natural instinct to do whatever it took to get what she wanted.
The sharp predator’s eyes were turned towards Zhuge Xuanmong.
Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth, slightly nervous at the sight.
“I may not be able to learn magic, but it doesn’t seem impossible.”
It is impossible to handle both internal energy and magical power at the same time.
But while making Cheon Gi Mi Ri Bo, I realized that it is not impossible to find a compromise.
The reason why the plum blossom fragrance came out of Cheon Yeo-hyang’s plum blossom sword technique was ultimately the same.
“It is said that all religions return to their original form. Nothing is impossible, I guess.”
“Is it possible?”
“yes.”
There was no need to obsess over magic.
The point is, if you can do something similar with your internal energy, that’s fine.
In order to perform magic, you need to construct a spell. And in order to properly perform martial arts, you need to use a special form like the first form or use your own internal energy.
In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to naturally incorporate the technique into the use of the first or second stages of internal energy?
Of course, it wasn’t easy.
The easiest case was the formation.
In the case of formations that actively utilize natural energy, in extreme cases, even if someone had no internal energy or magical power whatsoever, they could activate the formation by setting it up according to the established rules.
If we properly lay out the terrain and change the control of Jin with oracle bone script, there will be many applications possible depending on the research.
And he taught Samarin how to use the incense burner’s magic to amplify the potency of the Cheongryongwan with his internal energy.
The incense burner’s recipe and the Cheongryongwan were quite a good match.
As expected, a similar effect can be achieved without the incense burner.
He taught Tang Hua Ling a trick to control the powerful wind.
Peng-ak said that the unmanned one increases his power by synchronizing the flow of his body and internal energy.
Zhuge Xuanmong advised Tang Hualing.
“Just as we align the flow of our body and internal energy, let’s start by aligning the flow of wind and internal energy.”
It is possible to control the natural wind that comes out while firing by splitting it into units, splitting it again, and splitting it again, so that it can be controlled down to very small units.
It was something that Zhuge Xuanmong could do as soon as he first learned magic.
“Isn’t it easy?”
“… … .”
Anyway, after teaching the later indexes a simple spell, it was time for personal time.
‘I feel like I’m really working too hard.’
It felt like I was a little relaxed just a little while ago, but then suddenly things started to pile up like a storm.
Although he felt a little tired, Zhuge Xuanmong did not lie down.
In a way, the most important thing remained.
It was a study of the records left behind by Madu Galsaryang and his father, who was also a Guigokja.
* * *
Originally, the principle in the Murim Alliance was to discard all items owned by the devil, except for magic books and magic equipment.
Even if it wasn’t infused with magic, it was unknown what effect it would have.
If things were as they were, the amount of money that was lost would have followed the same path.
But that was difficult.
‘There are also my father’s records.’
For a scholar, Zhuge Liu was a man who was often away from home.
Now that I think about it, he must have left his post to study magic. And the place where that magic study was conducted was none other than Gwihyeol Valley.

Since it was his father’s research that was limited, Jegal Hyeonmong requested the records as a reward for the suppression of Gal Sa-ryang, and Cheon Yeo-hyang accepted it although she was somewhat embarrassed.
‘First, a record of the amount of waste.’
Mandokmun, who came from Galsa-ryang, mainly deals with poison.
Among them, he dealt with poisonous insects in particular often. Sometimes, through mating, he even obtained completely new poisons.
The poisonous mosquito called Jadokmun (刺毒蚊), which Galsa Ryang mainly dealt with, was also one of them.
In the process of eliminating and leaving the Galsa-ryang alone, the poisonous creatures either died or disappeared somewhere, but the Galsa-ryang was still storing quite a lot of poisonous insect eggs.
Among them, unlike the poisonous insects, there were also poisonous insect eggs that could not be awakened at all. This meant that there were many poisonous insects that were difficult to handle, but it seemed like it could be done somehow.
Allen had dealt with quite a few foul-tempered magical creatures in his dreams, and the psychic suppression technique that Galsaryang used had also been improved.
The reason for wanting to deal with these poisons was simple.
It was for the household register policy.
It is difficult to protect oneself with just one ring of Jegal Hyunmong. The catalyst used there was this very same catalyst.
You can use this catalyst to skip the process, or transform the catalyst itself to make your spell more powerful.
In fact, didn’t Zhuge Xuanmong use the wind to poison quite effectively?
But I couldn’t start right away.
‘Hmm, that costs money.’
In order to hatch and raise these poisonous creatures, it was necessary to create a unique environment, and it was not for nothing that Galsariyang specialized in raising only the poisonous creatures.
Unlike the poisonous insects that grow well even in moderately dirty water, other poisonous insects require a meticulously created environment and careful feeding.
There was even an insect called the black iron bug, although it was not poisonous.
These insects do not eat mulberry leaves like silkworms, but rather ingest iron ore.
Even that will cause a bend in the back, and it is said that if you don’t feed it rare ore periodically, it will die.
If you eat too much, you die. If you eat too little, you die too… … .
‘That’s incredibly tricky.’
There were such things in Allen’s dreams too.
Even when learning how to handle and raise magical creatures, if you misbehaved even a little bit, they would either die or even become hostile and attack you.
But if I could somehow endure it, it seemed like it would be quite useful.
According to the book, a well-raised black iron dragonfly produces thread that is rich in the minerals it has eaten.
The black silk created in this way not only absorbs internal energy well, but is also extremely tough and hard, making it unharmed by even the strongest swords.
‘It is necessary.’
Even if you don’t have any special talent for predicting the future, you could tell.
You will probably get involved in various incidents, even if you don’t really want to, and you will get into trouble in the process.
If you’re going to roll, wouldn’t it be better to roll wearing clothes made of black silk rather than rolling around naked?
‘I guess I need money.’
Of course, that was a story for later.
No matter how talented Jegal Hyunmong was at magic, he couldn’t raise a rare insect like a black silkworm just by creating a good spell.
Anyway, after looking at the hibernating black silkworm (it didn’t wake up because there was nothing to eat, but it didn’t die), Jegal Hyunmong flicked his magic wand, organized Galsa-ryang’s belongings, and let out a long breath.
This was bound to be a little nerve-wracking.
‘father.’
A person with a crooked ear.
There was a diary left by his father, Zhuge Liu.
* * *
My memories of Zhuge Liu were not very clear. However, to my son, he was just an ordinary father.
He loved reading books, taught Zhuge Xuanmong how to write, and sometimes told him how to deal with difficult situations.
For example, when Jegal Hyunmong asked who his mother was, he gave a half-hearted answer and passed over the question.
‘He wasn’t a very good father, was he?’
Because it’s a memory, I think the memory is a little distorted.
Anyway, even though he was that kind of father, at least until now, he never once mentioned anything like the type of alcohol he drank.
Given the circumstances, he was a sorcerer and had some knowledge of sorcery.
Then, one day, he suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a debt of 50,000 nyang to Jegal Hyunmong. He also told him to consider himself dead if he did not return.
He was a man who would not lie, let alone say anything unfavorable.
In the third year since Zhuge Liuyi’s disappearance, Zhuge Xuanmong decided to believe that Zhuge Liuyi was dead and held a three-year mourning period.
He left all of his remaining inheritance to Mansu and asked him to wait, saying that he would definitely repay it all.
That was the end of it.
But life is truly strange, and seeing my father’s records again like this gave me new feelings.
[I guess I am quite talented. I was able to open the upper trance without much difficulty, and I could read the heavenly energy to some extent. I was also able to intervene in the heavenly energy to some extent with the energy of the upper trance, the divine energy.
Even though I had a talent that only comes once in a hundred years, I thought that I had no hope in becoming a soju master.
The drinking party has fallen.
In the first place, it is extremely difficult to be born with the talent to become a sorcerer. The upper tian must be open, and maintaining both the upper and lower tian is theoretically possible, and is extremely difficult. Most ordinary people will have no choice but to choose one.
And even if you choose magic from those options, what you will gain is an ability that has no system or theory and you cannot tell whether it will be successful or not.
I realized long ago that there was no future on this path, and I thought to myself: I will not pass this path on to my descendants in the future.
[I don’t think I need to pass on the impossible to my descendants and cause them pain.]
After reading that far, Jegal Hyunmong thought to himself.
‘father…….’
He was a more show-off than I thought.
