Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 248
“Did you all get it?”
“Yes.”
“Then there is no delay. Take it right here and begin cultivating!”
“Yes!”
Mount Hua’s disciples sat cross-legged, slightly extending the distance.
It’s not even half as crowded as it was during Mount Hua’s heyday, but Hyun Jong couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed seeing so many people crammed into the Training Hall.
And don’t they all have their own Jasodan?
‘Mount Hua will grow in strength.’
Hyun Jong slightly clenched his fist.
‘Are you going to give out all of the Yeongdan to everyone?’
Tang Soso, meanwhile, looked slightly tiredly at the Yeongdan in her hand.
‘What on earth are you doing now?’
She knew how valuable this Yeongdan was because she was well-versed in medicine and had participated in the refinement process several times.
Yeongdan will be at the level of Chendokdan based on the pure scent that is emitted.
And Cheondokdan is the Tang Family’s best Yeongdan.
But are there sects that distribute Yeongdan as if it were a snack?
It’s something he’s never heard of before.
To begin with, there is no such thing as a sect capable of doing such a thing, and even if they have the ability to create the Yeongdan, this will not occur.
‘Which sect gives this priceless Yeongdan to third-class disciples?’
Even in the Sichuan Tang Family, which is known as the ruler of Sichuan, only the direct lineage of the family, particularly those at the core, could smell the scent of Yeongdan.
Others are afraid to wish for Yeongdan, even if it is still alive.
Reason?
It’s very straightforward.
Yeongdan is the best award a sect can give to its subordinates.
As a result, sect leaders use Youngdan and martial arts manuals as carrots to entice their followers’ loyalty.
But now that they can make it, will they divide it amongst themselves? Even Tang Soso, who arrived at Mount Hua in less than a month?
‘Does this nonsense? Or simply greatness?’
The more she read, the more she realized she didn’t understand the Mount Hua Sect.
She has heard that they have fallen, but the sect is awash in cash.
They were said to have lost their martial arts and become weak, but then a monster-like Chung Myung appeared.
Tang Soso had no idea how far this Mount Hua would travel.
‘Was it a good thing I came?’
She is not sure yet.
But one thing is certain: this location is not like the Tang Family. Although the Tang Family emphasizes unity in the name of family, Mount Hua’s disciples were more like a true family to Tang Soso.
They treat each other without hesitation, and trust can be felt even from the words they hurl.
Tang Soso’s vague image of the family had come to fruition.
‘Can I be one of them?’
What about their families?
Tang Soso pursed her lips and looked ahead.
“Swallow it!”
“Yes!”
The disciples shouted their response to Hyun Jong’s instructions and shoved the Jasodan into their mouths.
Baek Chun’s expression has changed as he looks at Jasodan.
‘It is…’
Jamokcha, obtained through suffering from Sichuan to Yunnan, bore fruit like this.
He nodded slightly and took the delicate purple Yeongdan into his mouth.
Sreureu.
It melted into a liquid in an instant, emitting an indescribable scent.
The scent seemed to fill the entire mouth.
The melted Yeongdan slid over the throat before he could try anything.
Baek Chun immediately shut his eyes and began cultivating.
He has nothing to worry about because he has already taken and absorbed Chaos Origin Pill…
‘Huh?’
For a split second, his body flinched.
‘It’s unique!’
He can’t pinpoint it, but the Yeongdan that passed through his stomach were clearly different from the Yeongdan he had eaten previously.
Of course, Chaos Origin Pill was pure as well, but this Jasodan was so clear that it made even such Chaos Origin Pill appear murky.
It’s as if he’s drinking pure mountain water from his mouth.
The clear energy began to swirl throughout Baek Chun’s entire body.
‘Don’t rush……… take your time.’
Yeongdan was created primarily to replenish human energy. Even if you do nothing, energy flows along the meridian and dissolves.
Hasn’t he already gone through it with the Chaos Origin Pill?
It was the same as before. Energy continues to flow on its own. It was as if Baek Chun’s body had transformed into earth, and the energy had transformed into the river that ran through it.
And the distinction began here.
‘Huh?’
Baek Chun was taken aback and focused on the energy coursing through his body.
‘Why isn’t it moving?’
Slowly, he attempted to direct the energy to the Dantian via the twelve meridian points, but the Jasodan energy that entered his body did not obey his commands.
He tried gently guiding the energy over and over, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t budge.
‘Damn you! ‘Did Chung Myung make this?’
Yeongdan, in fact, resembles its owner.
It pays no attention to him.
‘Will it be a miss?’
It was right when Baek Chun freaked out.
Kuuung!
The Jasodan’s energy suddenly began to spread throughout Baek Chun’s body.
‘Oh?’
How should he put it? This sensation?
It seems that clean water from Simsan Valley is pouring into the body. The energy of Jasodan spreads out in all directions and strikes and kicks every Zhuo Qi (濁氣/Turbid Qi) in Baek Chun’s body.
Baek Chun shook.
‘It’s really….’
Zhuo Qi is an energy that one must accept in order to live in the world. As a result, it accumulates in the human body and becomes waste, impeding the flow of qi.
It’s fantastic to get rid of that Zhuo Qi, but the most radical way is for someone to do it.
‘There is no way Yeongdan could have a will….’
Why does it always appear to be Chung Myung?
While he was thinking about it, Jasodan’s energy discovered all Zhuo Qi in Baek Chun’s twelfth meridian.
Clear
It’s so obvious.
This clear energy refused to coexist with Zhuo Qi. If there is even the slightest trace of filthy energy, it rushes in and repeatedly kicks it out.
‘Ah!’
They then reassemble in one place and continue to ascend as the dragon ascends to heaven.
Baek Chun, who was aware of what was going on, shuddered.
‘No way.’
The Imdokyangmaek is filled with energy.
Imdokyangmaek. The Chonmun (天問)!
A threshold that must be crossed in order to enter the peak realm.
However, the Gate of Heaven, which has been closed since birth, is not easily opened. Imdokyangmaek was a place where piercing was only possible with constant effort and preparation. If one fails, they may become paralyzed as a result of severe internal injuries.
However, Jasodan’s energy rushed toward Imdokyangmaek as if it didn’t care.
‘Please halt!’
Suddenly, he was terrified.
The crazy energy resembles its owner and does not know how to look back. As if promising the future was a coward’s act, it turned it eyes upside down and hit Imdokyangmaek’s with fierce force.
Kwaang!
There was a loud explosion in his head. At the same time, the mind feels momentarily dizzy.
Baek Chun forced himself to grip the consciousness that was going away.
‘N-No.’
He has already lost control but does not know what will happen if he loses consciousness here.
purple
Isn’t the half-circulated energy that resembles its master hitting his Imdokyangmaek?
Baek Chun trembled and groaned at the pain like a giant bell ringing in his head over and over again.
‘Why did you make this?’
In the Chaos Origin Pill, everything was harmonious energy itself. Wrap gently, embrace warmly. Nothing will go against the energy of Chaos Origin Pill.
But something’s wrong with this guy.
The feeling is as clear and familiar as it can be, but it doesn’t listen and moves on its own. As if the energy itself has a will.
And now the will is continuing to hit Baek Chun.
Kung! Kung! Kung!
‘Oh my gosh!;
The clogged energy in Imdokyangmaek was hit by the circulating energy like crazy.
Kung! Kung!
But Baek Chun’s Imdokyangmaek was still solid.
‘Come on, Chung Myung ah. No, Jasodan’s energy. Everything has its time. Not yet. So, let’s give up now and quietly return to Dantian.’
It became similar when he tried to stop Chung Myung, but Baek Chun was quite desperate now. At this rate, he might really end up with an injury.
Since it has such a clear energy, the possibility is low, but he cannot be relieved no matter what.
It was that moment.
The energy that could not open the way even after hitting Imdokyangmaek several times suddenly curled up its tail and slipped down.
‘Yes!’
‘There. Yeah, dude! There! Go to the Dantian!’
The energy that came down from the head descended along the spine and eventually passed through the chest and reached near Dantian.
‘Get in!’
But the energy stopped right in front of the Dantian. And fluctuated a little.
‘Huh?’
No way?
It’s not, right? Right?
The energy that shook a couple more times began to gather strength.
Gooo.
There was the sound as if a huge typhoon sweeping in his body.
‘N-No…’
And without a moment to think, energy soared at an enormous rate. Then, it hit Imdokyangmaek as it is.
‘Hey, you crazy!’
Kuuuung.
There was a burst of sound as if the world were exploding, and an indescribable pain flooded him.
His eyes became dizzy and his mind got farther. It was a shock like a bomb exploded inside the body.
Baek Chun clenched his teeth and convulsed in pain similar to the top of the head being torn off.
But at that moment.
The pain disappeared in an instant and something that he had not experienced so far began to happen.
‘Is this?’
He can feel the world.
Vividly.
‘What the hell?’
Now he’s definitely closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged. During meditating, the sound should be hard to hear and the touch sense becomes dull.
Nevertheless, it feels completely clear.
The sky is looking down at him. The earth is supporting him. The flow of air passing through him and the flow of qi is vivid as if he could catch it in his hand.
Heaven Knows. (天通)
The body that opens the Gate of Heaven accepts the world directly without going through the five senses.
‘Thi-This is the world of the greatest master sees….!’
A pleasure that cannot be expressed in words.
While Baek Chun shuddered at the pleasure, the energy of Jasodan, who had finally accomplished its mission, triumphantly entered Dantian after removing all the remaining Zhuo Qi in Yangmaek (양맥).
And finally, it melted down and became one with Baek Chun’s energy, which had originally stayed there.
Kuuung.
With a light momentum, the powerfully increased internal strength goes round and round the body of Baek Chun, and then settles down in the Dantian again.
Baek Chun’s eyes flashed open.
“Whoa!”
A different world unfolds before him.
It feels as if the world has become many times clearer. It felt as if he had finally removed the cloth after watching the world with his eyes covered.
Is it just the view?
Even the sound of someone breathing in the distance is captured vividly.
His sensitive sense of touch accurately captured the texture of air passing through his body.
Taking in so many things at once made his head dizzy.
But Baek Chun was only happy with even the dizziness.
‘I have crossed the wall.’
If he has to describe it as a stage, the wall that goes beyond the first-class to the peak realm. He finally jumped over the wall. Baek Chun is now in a world where that Tang Gaju or Yasugung-ju reside, even at the very least. (Welp, it is now confirmed that this world has a stage setting. Though not often used.)
‘It is really great Yeongdan!’
An overwhelming emotion wrapped around his body.
It was completely different from Yeondan from Chaos Origin Pill, but it produced more than that in terms of the results.
“Are you done?”
“What?”
Baek Chun raised his head.
Hyun Jong and other elders are looking down at him.
“Oh.”
Belatedly realizing that he was the last person to finish meditating, Baek Chun looked around in a hurry.
He could see Mount Hua disciples lined up.
‘Ah…’
It’s different.
It’s definitely different. Just the youthful concentration in their eyes and the momentum that radiated in the air could tell just how much effect they had received.
Baek Chun looked straight ahead and got up from his seat.
“Sect Leader……!”
However, the moment he stood up, the three people standing in front of him stumbled in unison.
“…….”
‘Huh?’
Hyun Jong put on an awkward expression as he looked at Baek Chun, puzzled.
“Y-You must have done well. Seeing that all the waste has escaped from the body.”
‘Pardon?’
‘Waste?’
Baek Chun slowly lowered his gaze.
“W-What’s this?”
His neat clothes were almost black. And, there was a stench that could not be described in words.
Baek Chun, who recognized the stench that pierced his nose, only then vomited hard.
“Hoek. This is…….Ughhh!”
When he looked around with tears in his eyes because of nausea, some people were similar to him.
It was Yoo Iseol, Jo Gol, and Yoon Jong.
It was worth seeing everyone shaking like they fell into black dirt.
“Ugh…….”
“The-The smell is killing me.”
“Bath. Bath! Damn it! Bath!”
‘Huh?’
‘Just now… … I think Yoo Samae was swearing?’
In addition, her voice was twice as high as usual.
Hyun Young shouted with his nose blocked as he looked at Baek Chun, who was at a loss.
“Go wash up right now! I can’t stand the smell!”
“U-Understood!”
Those whose clothes turned black began to run out of the Training Hall.
The Sect Leader and Elders who were watching the scene exchanged their eyes.
Then their gaze turned to one place.
“What do you think?”
“What?”
Chung Myung tilted his head while chewing beef jerky.
Asked Hyun Young.
“Have you achieved metamorphosis?”
“Ah. What kind of metamorphosis. It’s just… Well, it’s just about emptying my stomach.”
“……umm. Really?”
“But the effect is similar.”
“Oh. Then!”
Expectations rose in the eyes of the three.
But Chung Myung’s next words were a little different from what they thought.
“Now we’re barely ready.”
“……Huh?”
Hyun Jong looked questionable, but Chung Myung chewed beef jerky without saying a word.
At last.
They are ready to learn the sword properly.
Chung Myung rolled up the corners of his mouth.
‘Now let’s take a look at it in earnest.’
Can they keep that happy expression on their face even though they know that he has been going easy until now?
‘I wonder.’
‘I’m curious.’
