How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 85
Chapter 18. Manpower Recruitment (5)
Four species.
No, Sima Zong is Sima Lin’s younger brother.
The reason he, the youngest son of the Sima family, came all the way to this land of Sichuan was none other than Sima Lin.
This was because Samarin had insisted that he must recruit someone as soon as he returned to the clan, or at least build a positive relationship with them.
‘He even said that he had to provide me with Cheongryonghwan.’
Cheongryonghwan was a fairly valuable elixir even in the Sima family.
By taking just one pill, ordinary people could replenish their energy and clear their minds, and if taken regularly, they could also expect a significant increase in their internal energy.
He said he wanted to provide such precious things on a regular basis.
‘Maybe he can fix my fate.’
With that being said.
When Sima Zong heard those words, he felt his heart burn with jealousy.
‘I must be the one to cure my sister’s illness.’
Samarin was suffering from pulse failure.
If my father had not been Sima Jun, known as the Living Hand Physician, I might have lost my life before I reached my prime.
Sima Zong wanted to fix Sima Lin’s lineage.
For the sake of his sister, he gave up martial arts and practiced medicine day and night.
For Sima Zong, Sima Lin’s declaration was that shocking.
It was so shocking, as if my older sister had been stolen by someone else!
‘What kind of guy is he that makes my sister do that… … .’
The shock caused Sima Zong to come all the way to the distant land of Sichuan.
When Sima Zong arrived in Sacheon and heard the news of Zhuge Xuanmong, he could not believe his ears.
‘… … In fact, wasn’t the person called Muhujaerim a real person?’
The stories floating around the world were all ridiculous.
When the ghost was severely rebuked, the vengeful spirit realized its own mistakes and attained Buddhahood.
There is a story that when they visited a village in a bottle, set up an altar, and prayed, a dragon made of water emerged from the ground and ascended to heaven.
‘That’s nonsense.’
The Samasega people are well-versed in gains and losses.
That means they have a realistic and pragmatic disposition and don’t easily believe in nonsense.
To Sima Jun, the youngest son of the Sima family, Zhuge Xuanmeng was an absurd figure.
Unless you’re committing some kind of fraud… … !
In fact, the reason I came here here hiding my identity was to take off that mask.
‘You must have dug into the mind of my sister who has become weak after suffering from a long illness. You despicable conman. I, the real Confucius, will take off your mask!’
But before he could do anything, it was Sima Zong whose mask was taken off.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? On what basis do you say I am from the Sima family… .”
“Uh, do you need an explanation?”
Rather, I wonder why I don’t know.
I thought that if Samarin walked around dressed as a man, that would be exactly the kind of face he would make.
There’s the arrogant tone, the luxurious fabrics, the manners, etc…
Anyone can tell that he is from the Sima family.
Although it was such an obvious statement, Sima Zong was shocked.
‘Is this self-evident?’
At least Sima Zong couldn’t figure out why his identity was revealed at a glance… …!
‘By the way, why is the Confucius of the Sima family here?’
It occurred to me belatedly.
Zhuge Xuanmong looked at Sima Zong for a moment and then nodded.
‘I guess you just wanted to do that!’
I couldn’t be more at ease when I stopped trying to understand.
“First, please sit down. And next… … Confucius, the speaker’s herb?”
“I’m going.”
A tall scholar came in with his hand raised and suddenly took the lottery ticket.
“I’ve heard rumors, but you’re really amazing. You have truly amazing abilities! You truly deserve to be called the ‘Muhu Jaerim’!”
‘Points deducted.’
Zhuge Xuanmong coldly gave the scholar a negative score.
Unfortunately, the scholar in front of me seemed to be prone to being swayed by groundless rumors about martial arts.
“Do you happen to know who So-saeng is?”
Jegal Hyunmong looked at the man, wondering why he was asking such a question, and then suddenly remembered something strange.
The herb of the speaker.
“… … Are you from the Zhuge family?”
“As expected, you recognize me at a glance!”
‘You have no intention of hiding it?’
Isn’t this the name that comes out when you break down the name Zhuge (諸葛)?
At this point, Jegal Hyunmong couldn’t help but think about it even though he tried not to.
‘Why on earth did the people of the Sima family and the Jegal family come to apply for the position of scholar in the Daeryongpyo country? Surely it’s not something related to the Jangbo family or the two families, right?’
I feel like I have a headache coming on.
Zhuge Xuanmong was extremely tired, so he invited Unjacho… no, Zhuge Chuk inside.
Then, only one person was left.

“Prince Lee Jun.”
Jegal Hyeonmong looked intently at a scholar named Lee Jun.
‘Was there a Lee family among the three?’
It’s something I usually don’t consider, but after experiencing a series of ridiculous things, I found myself doubting it.
And looking at Jegal Hyunmong’s gaze, Lee Jun broke out in a cold sweat.
‘It was a mistake. I shouldn’t have come here.’
The reason Lee Jun was sweating coldly was not because of Sima Zong and Zhuge Liang.
Regardless of that, it was simply because he was a disciple of Manoe.
Lee Jun was confident.
‘He must be the owner of the ability to read other people’s minds.’
In the past, fortune tellers were famous for their fortune telling.
And what made his point so right was that he had many supernatural powers.
He sees through people’s minds with his telepathy, and sees events and the future a thousand miles away with his clairvoyance.
Thanks to his supernatural powers, Cheon Gi-ja was able to see even the secrets of the heavens, and was known to see through even his own nature, which he was unaware of.
It was certain that Jegal Hyunmong had supernatural powers like Cheon Gija.
‘Otherwise, how could you figure out the identities of the two people at first sight?’
Just now, Lee Jun had completely failed to see through Sima Zong and Zhuge Zhu’s true identities.
I just thought he was an unlucky Confucius and a tall guy like a pole.
It is abnormal for Zhuge Xuanmong to point out the Sima family and the Zhuge family.
‘That means I can see through it too.’
Lee Jun swallowed hard.
My thoughts were flowing in a very complicated way.
And Jegal Hyunmong was observing Lee Jun’s superficial psychology.
‘… … I think it’s that guy.’
Even if you say that you are using magic, you cannot read it very deeply, but now that your thoughts are complicated, all kinds of emotions such as anxiety, shock, suspicion, and hostility are repeatedly appearing and disappearing.
Even though I didn’t put any special effort into casting the magic!
It was amazing how he managed to keep his expression so calm.
‘Let’s just not make a fuss and let it pass quietly.’
Jegal Hyunmong skillfully hid his thoughts and pointed to the remaining chair.
“Please come in and sit in any of the remaining chairs.”
‘Let’s pretend not to know for now. I can’t be sure that my identity has been discovered yet.’
With that thought in mind, Lee Jun stepped into the interview room.
And that was the moment I set foot in.
Crackle!
The protective talisman that Lee Jun kept in his bosom in case of an emergency came into contact with the magic inside the interview room and tore, causing the magical energy that Lee Jun had been hiding to burst out.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong and Lee Jun met each other’s eyes without realizing it.
It was a leak of energy that all sorcerers could not be unaware of.
“Damn it!”
“No, what!”
Jegal Hyunmong clicked his tongue.
This is something that even Zhuge Liang could not have predicted.
‘I made all kinds of preparations, but why did it turn out like this?’
He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing when he knew someone might be after him.
Of course, in preparation for the one and only eventuality, Jegal Hyunmong prepared a double and triple layer of magic that he could use on the spot at the interview site.
But I never expected that he would notice and run away because of the preparation.
“Slip!”
Anyway, I couldn’t let him run away.
When I pointed to the ground where Lee Jun would step with the folded black line, Lee Jun slipped and rolled on the ground.
Taking advantage of the gap, Jegal Hyunmong shouted.
“Throw it!”
Just in case, Jegal Hyunmong had placed markers around the interview room.
As the sailors threw the net they had prepared, Lee Jun gritted his teeth and took something out of his bosom and threw it.
“Come out, Sword and Blade Talisman!”
What he took out was a long talisman made of Gohwangji paper, with the word “sword” engraved on it.
As soon as the sword was thrown into the air, it stiffened, but soon began to fly freely through the air, tearing the net that was trying to cover Lee Jun.
“!”
The durability wasn’t that great, the net was torn and the check mark was torn at the same time, but that was enough.
Lee Jun, who quickly got up from his seat, looked at Jegal Hyunmong while letting his magic flow so that he could respond at any time.
“I’ve heard rumors, but it’s really surprising. Who would have thought that he would have supernatural powers like Cheon Gi-ja?”
A cold sensation ran down Jegal Hyunmong’s spine at the sight of Lee Jun shouting as if the whole world could hear.
‘What the hell are you talking about?’
I don’t know if I’m the only one here, but aren’t there other people here too?
Jegal Hyunmong felt goosebumps at Lee Jun’s evil words.
“Now I understand! How have you been able to carry out such unconventional actions up to now! You truly have a unique constitution. The Master will keep an eye on you.”
“Master, are you talking about Manoe?”
“Hmm! Is this the insight of the Heavenly Eye?”
‘As expected, it’s what it is.’
Even though I just asked, he seemed to think he understood it all.
The problem was that he was shouting it out as if the whole world could hear it.
He heard people around him muttering.
“It’s Cheonan Tong!”
“Is that the supernatural power that is said to be one of the six supernatural powers? If it is the second coming of the Emperor, then it is not surprising.”
“It wouldn’t be strange if there were other supernatural powers!”
‘I don’t want any more strange rumors to pile up around the nickname of ‘Muhujaerim.’
“Let’s talk about it later.”
“Are you suggesting a showdown? But that can’t happen!”
Lee Jun snorted and immediately turned around.
Jegal Hyunmong made the ground slippery again, but Lee Jun, who had been prepared, stepped on the ground with his feet covered in magic energy and destroyed the spell.
And that’s not all.
Lee Jun injected his magic energy directly into the sword and made the sword circle around his body so that people could not easily approach it.
“Protect me!”
As Lee Jun-seok spoke, a commotion broke out in the place where the applicants for the petition had gathered, and then four strong men stood up and surrounded Lee Jun-seok.
Jegal Hyunmong clicked his tongue in amazement.
‘You really prepared thoroughly.’
The sentiment was deep.
As such, I couldn’t miss it.
Next time I’ll come prepared more thoroughly!
‘now!’
As soon as Jegal Hyunmong opened the Black Ox Sword and breathed magical power into it, magical light emanated from the Black Ox Sword’s flesh.
When making the Black Ox-Fish in the Tangga Chang of the Sacheon Dangga, Jegal Hyunmong carved various spells into the flesh to assist in casting magic.
This technique was used for two purposes.
One was to allow assistance when calculations were needed while casting magic, and the other was to allow up to three magics to be stored and cast immediately.
What I did this time was the latter.
thud!
The ground that Lee Jun was standing on turned into sand in an instant and began to suck in his ankles like a swamp.
“You’re using this kind of magic without any preparation!”
Lee Jun was shocked, but he threw the sword and pierced the core of my technique.
Then, this time, the formation was activated and countless illusions appeared before Lee Jun’s eyes.
“Profit! Damn it!”
Lee Jun took the beads out of his bosom while swearing.
It was an item that his teacher, Manoe, had given him to use in case of an emergency, and it was called the Heupjeongok (吸精玉).
As I threw it into the center of the formation, the absorption jade broke and greedily sucked up the formation’s magic power.
“no!?”
Zhuge Xuanmong was shocked when he felt his formation being forcibly dismantled.
If he had tried to dismantle the spell, there would have been a way to stop it, but there was no way to avoid sucking out the energy and destroying it.
Lee Jun gritted his teeth.
‘I’m going crazy from the regret.’
If you just hit it right, it was a rare and wonderful treasure that could even defeat the best masters.
Even if it is for the sake of survival, it is not something that should be wasted like this.
However, Lee Jun’s suffering was not over.
“Open your eyes, take the shape of a mountain!”
With the sound of Pyodu and Hound’s voice, the warriors who had gathered without anyone noticing blocked the path ahead, moving in unison with their shields in hand.
Lee Jun burst out swearing.
“Damn it, how much preparation have you done!? Do it moderately!”
