Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 430

The Sichuan Tang Family’s temper began to flare.

The Tang Family’s symbols are poison and Secret Art.

Among them, the fact that the Tang Family’s top craftsman, who is at the pinnacle of Secret Art, picked up the hammer for the first time in years piqued the Tang Family’s interest.

“What the hell is he going to make?”

“Anything would be great!”

“But is he able to grab the hammer now? Isn’t it a fact that everyone knows that he’s not in his right mind?”

“I’m sure Gaju-nim has an idea.”

Tang Family members’ gazes were drawn to Tang Jo-pyong’s workshop.

Meanwhile, the workers in the workshop were busy moving and dusting. Dozens of men rushed to the workshop, which instantly sparkled like new.

Tang Jo-pyong sat in front of a large furnace in the center, his gaze fixed on the charcoal in his hand.

“It’s high-quality White Flame Metal (장백탄(匠白炭)). It was well taken care of while I let go.”

Tang Gun-ak smiled as he watched the scene.

“…Great Grandfather. It’s just white coal, and White Flame Metal is here.”

“Really?”

“…….”

Chung Myung, who was watching from the entrance of the workshop, bit his nails.

“Is this gonna be okay? Is this really okay?”

What if he ends up losing all the metal?

Chung Myung was very nervous since things didn’t go as he expected.

However, despite his anxiety, there was no hesitation in Tang Jo-pyong’s movement. Tang Jo-pyong, who climbed into the furnace that was twice as tall as a man, jumped into the furnace.

“Pour it!”

“Yes!”

As Tang Zhan carried White Flame Metal, Tang Jo-pyong, who filled it thoroughly in the furnace, raised his head and shouted.

“Gaju!”

“Yes, Great Grandfather!”

Tang Gun-ak took a small box out of his sleeve as if he had waited for this moment. His face was stiff as if he were a little nervous.

Soon after, the brilliantly gilded chest opened and a little red jewel showed up.

Tang Gun-ak carefully took it out and handed it to Tang Jo-pyong who was on the furnace.

Baek Chun tilted his head and asked.

“What is that?”

Then Tang Pae answered in a cautious voice.

“It’s called White Flame Metal. It is an object that emits heat as soon as it receives internal strength. Without that stuff, the furnace cannot be started.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“It’s one of the Tang Family’s pillars. It’s a very precious thing.”

“Oh! That’s the rare treasure of the Tang Family.”

Just by saying that, they can see how rare it is…….

“Is it expensive?”

“…….”

Tang Pae was dumbfounded by Chung Myung’s sudden question.

He didn’t even know what to answer. In front of the most greedy Taoist in the world, with his eyes full of blatant greed…….

Fortunately, however, Tang Jo-pyong escaped from the furnace at that moment. Then he shook his hand lightly and shouted.

“Set fire to the furnace!”

“Yes!”

Finally, the fire began to ignite in the furnace.

“Gaju!”

“Yes!”

“Infuse your internal strength! We need to increase the firepower!”

“Yes, understood.”

Tang Gun-ak and other Elders of the Tang family occupied three sides of the furnace. Perhaps it was a furnace made for that purpose in the first place, but there was a place for people to stand.

The fire burned fiercely as soon as they began to infuse internal strength. Flames descended through a small hole drilled under the furnace. It was more like a waterfall than a flame.

But in Tang Jo-pyong’s eyes, the firepower didn’t seem to be satisfactory.

“More!”

Chung Myung, who was watching the scene outside the workshop, asked Tang Pae.

“Is that a special furnace?”

Tang Pae nodded his head.

“Yes, there are many furnaces in the Tang Family. A typical furnace is called Red Furnace (홍로(紅爐)) and can be used by anyone in the Tang Family. And furnace that can produce even higher firepower is called Blue Furnace (청로(靑爐)), which can only be used by craftsman recognized by the workshop.”

“Then that’s Blue Furnace?”

“No.”

Tang Pae shook his head.

“That’s called White Furnace (백로(白爐)). A furnace that the head of a workshop can only use, produces the strongest firepower in the Tang Family. Only that furnace can melt the Hancheol.”

“Oh…….”

Chung Myung stared at it with a fresh eye.

Hwaaaa!

The firepower was so high that the flames under the furnace almost looked white..

“Wow, it’s hot!”

Shouts of astonishment erupted here and there. The heat from the furnace was enormous as if it would melt even Mount Hua’s disciples outside the workshop.

It seemed hot enough, but Tang Jo-pyong heated the furnace even more by half an hour.

“Bring me the Hancheol!”

“Yes!”

Young blacksmiths of the Tang Family, who were waiting nervously, flew into the workshop for the Hancheol.

“Put it in!”

As soon as Tang Jo-pyong gave orders, they poured the metal into the top of the furnace without delay.

“White Flame Metal!”

The heated charcoal poured back into the fire. Then, a bigger white flame emerged and danced through the hole above the brazier.

A formidable heat.

The onlookers were suffocated just by looking at it.

However, Tang Jo-pyong sat right in front of the furnace, which gave off a heat that seemed to melt even the bones and didn’t bat an eyelid. His deep eyes shone with flame.

‘Isn’t it hot?’

Baek Chun stuck out his tongue.

The old man, who had been in and out of his mind, was nowhere to be seen. Now in front of Baek Chun, he was just one of the craftsmen who devoted his whole life to fire and iron.

“…… That’s great.”

Baek Chun nodded loudly at Yoon Jong’s admiration.

It catches people’s eye to get to a certain level in any field. The Mount Hua disciples couldn’t take their eyes off what was happening in the workshop.

Just then, a loud voice burst out of Tang Jo-pyong’s mouth, which had been tightly shut.

“More! Infuse more! Increase the firepower! If it melts erratically, the quality of the iron deteriorates. This is not enough!”

Thick drops of sweat rose from the foreheads of the Elders and Tang Gun-ak.

“Take turns!”

When Tang Jo-pyong shouted, the Elders who were standing waiting pushed into the seats of those who were standing first and infused their internal strength.

While breathing hard, one of the Elders who retreated from the furnace wiped off his sweat and looked at Tang Jo-pyong.

“Uncle-nim, are you all right? The heat…….”

“Noisy! Don’t talk to me!”

A loud voice rang through the workshop like thunder. They couldn’t have imagined that he was the person who had gone sane and insane back and forth a while ago.

The tip of his beard was curled up in the heat and his face was red, but Tang Jo-pyong’s eyes were only focused on the flame’s movement.

“It’s not enough! How the hell did you guys do your training so that you only have this strength! Squeeze more and push it in, now!”

Elders dyed their faces red and pushed their internal strength even further. But soon after, their legs began to shake, apparently running out of energy.

“Change!”

“Yes!”

The third Elders, who had been waiting, stepped forward. But as soon as he infused his internal strength, Tang Jo-pyong roared.

“No!”

His voice was urgent and high-pitched as if pottery were breaking.

Tang Jo-pyong’s gaze fell off the furnace for the first time.

“Not with this! Change him now, right now! Not with you. Bring me someone with a cleaner internal strength!”

Then Tang Pae, who was coordinating the situation, was startled and said hurriedly.

“Bu- But the first group still hasn’t finished replenishing their energy.”

“What?”

Tang Jo-pyong’s eyes shook violently.

“Is this all the Elders we have?”

Tang Pae couldn’t bear to answer and bowed his head. The other day, as Chung Myung resolved the fight between the Senate and Gaju, many elders were forced to retire.

If there were only Tang Wei, who was the head of the Senate, there would have been no shortage of people with high internal strength, but the situation was not good now.

“You stupid bastards! What kind of Hancheol are you going to melt? When the temperature decreases, the coldness of the Hancheol cools the furnace, and eventually, all become waste! Hurry up, get someone! Those with internal strength, now!”

“Bu- But these are the Elders who have been carefully chosen. No people in the Tang Family have a stronger internal strength than them… … .”

“You idiot!”

Tang Jo-pyong screamed out loud.

“Bring in Sword Saint Elder right now! Isn’t his internal strength the best in the world!”

“…what?”

All eyes were on Chung Myung.

“…….”

Chung Myung made eye contact with them with a blank face. And he asked.

“…Me?”

“…….”

Baek Chun said nonchalantly.

“You fell down on your own tricks.”

Yoon Jong also nodded loudly in agreement.

“This is karma. Heaven’s net spread sparse but lets nothing pass-through.”

“Uh…….”

When Chung Myung hesitated, Tang Jo-pyong looked directly at Chung Myung and opened his mouth.

“You have to help me now, Sword Warrior Elder! You must help me now… … . huh? Who are you… … ?”

“…….”

‘He’s coming back to his senses at this pointless moment.’

Chung Myung said in an irritated voice, scratching the back of his head.

“Who do you think I am! D*mn it!”

Then he turned around.

“Follow me!”

“… us too?”

Instead of answering, Chung Myung looked at Tang Jo-pyong and asked.

“Don’t you care what kind of internal strength it is? Do I just need to have a high internal strength?”

Tang Jo-pyong’s blazing eyes stared at Chung Myung straight.

“It doesn’t matter what kind. As long as it was not black energy. Instead, it has to be pure!”

“What about Tao’s one?”

“It’s all right!”

At that moment, Tang Jo-pyong’s face looked disappointed.

“It has to be right now! Where is Sword Saint Elder! Bring him in right now!”

“It’s only subtly half returned.”

“What?”

“N- No. I just need to have high internal strength, right?”

“…… hmm?”

Chung Myung grinned.

“They’re all here. Those who have nothing but internal strength.”

“… That’s a bit harsh.”

“What do you mean by nothing but internal strength?”

Mount Hua’s disciples grumbled behind him, but Chung Myung was adamant.

“Shut up! You have to pay for the pill you ate. Hurry up and stick to me. Before I blow up the whole Hancheol we have brought!”

“Got it!”

Chung Myung, Baek Chun, and Yoo Iseol ran inside. The Elders all visibly looked bewildered.

But Chung Myung pushed the Elders relentlessly and squeezed in.

“Get out of here, get out! Hurry!”

The Elders shouted while breathing hard.

“Do- Dojang! This furnace cannot be heated with internal strength of almost any kind! Don’t be ridiculous!”

“What internal strength.”

‘They pick up only good things and eat them all by themselves, they’re really like thugs.’

“Come on!”

“Move aside, please.”

“A moment.”

Chung Myung, Baek Chun, and Yoo Iseol eventually pushed the Elders away and stuck to the furnace.

Taking a short deep breath, Chung Myung grabbed the handle protruding from the furnace. He won’t know what the material is, but the handle on the furnace wasn’t very hot compared to the temperature.

“Infuse it!”

The internal strength of the three began to pour into the furnace altogether.

“Oh?”

At the same time, Tang Jo-pyong’s face, which had been slightly distorted by anxiety, turned bright.

The flame that had become blue turned white again. Furthermore, the White Flame (백염(白炎)) that heats the furnace has begun to burn more violently than ever before.

Tang Jo-pyong nodded after checking the increasing temperature.

“The young ones have great internal strength! Good! If we continue like this…….”

“But.”

“Heuk!”

Tang Jo-pyong, who swallowed the wind, raised his head. And he stared at Chung Myung, who was looking at him.

‘You can talk while you’re infusing this much energy?’

He opened his mouth involuntarily.

“How long do I have to do this? What? ……old man?”

“…….”

Tang Jo-pyong, who had come to his senses, stuttered and answered.

“Yo- You have to keep it like this for three or four days.”

“Three days?”

Chung Myung frowned.

“Hmm, it’s too long. If I increase the firepower even more, will the duration be shortened a bit?”

“…… It’s possible if you increase the firepower. But that can’t be…….”

“Okay. then… … .”

Chung Myung rolled up the corners of his mouth.

“Be careful, it might turn golden brown!”

At that moment, Chung Myung’s clothes flew fiercely as if they had met a typhoon. And the flames of the furnace began to rise violently.

The astounded Tang Jo-pyong opened his eyes to the point where the wrinkled eyes became tense. But it soon turned into joy.

“All right, let’s do it! What are you doing! Start the bellows!”

“Yes!”

White flames rose like a dragon ascending from the open chimney of the workshop.
