Chapter 58

Byeoktaesan slowly opened his eyes.

Even today, he brought two clumsy doctors and burned their spirits.

According to the words of Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui, they were decent doctors, but he didn’t feel it was enough.

Still, those two doctors who suffered today were lucky.

If you burn the dirt of their spirit with Spirit Absorption, that is, after washing the spirit, it will be very helpful for them with learning medicine in the future.

Of course, on the premise that they study medicine.

If they just live the way they live now, it will go back to the original. Very quickly at that.

Byeoktaesan, who had healed the Gi-maek through the spiritual powers of the doctors he gained today, suddenly came up with a question that Il Chim Gui had yesterday.

He just answered just because of the question of why he was interested in this job, and that was half right, but in fact there was another reason.

‘That doesn’t mean I could say it’s because it reminded me of the old days.’

When he first received the request for the Black Iron Room investigation, he was soaked with old thoughts.

‘Honestly, it wasn’t like me, but… … .’

But what was wrong with that? He did what he felt like doing.

Anyway, after a long time, he had an old thought, so he got a little heated.

In the meantime, the memory of Dokma came to mind, which was like a bonus.

Cheonma was the one that Dokma feared most in the world.

Of course, that was not well known.

It was not well known that Dokma had many disciples.

In fact, the Dokma wrapped himself as a mystery figure and was often treated as a hermit among people.

However, he was more human than anyone else.

First of all, he did not care whether he went to bed with men or women. They just need to be handsome and pretty.

And most of the work was done with the hands of the disciples, not with his own hands.

He’s a crazy guy who doesn’t even eat with his own hands.

The problem was that when he did crazy things, he didn’t care.

No matter how good the opponent was, it was inevitable that Dokma was hard to deal with.

Dokma was the epitome of poison users of the world recognized by all.

When he started to go crazy, it would hurt not only the person he is dealing with but also around those him.

Very fatal damage at that.

So, would he be scared of anything at all? It can be seen how well-known masters in the world were slowly avoiding themselves to avoid getting involved with him.

Then, he met a real man.

That was the Cheonma.

A smile formed on the mouth of Byeoktaesan, where the old thoughts came to mind.

The Dokma’s first mistake was that he didn’t recognize that his opponent was a Cheonma.

No matter if he was the Dokma, he could not do anything to the Cheonma. If he knew that, he wouldn’t have ended up being in that state.

Rather, it would have been better if the opponent was the Moorim lord.

The Dokma’s second mistake was that he didn’t quickly figure out that the poison wasn’t working.

The Spirit Absorption was a technique that burns the spirit.

It burns even spirits, so something like poison wouldn’t stand a chance.

In other words, a person who has learned the Spirit Absorption technique becomes immune to poison.

In fact, it’s a little different from what he knew before he got new enlightenment of Spirit Absorption, but the important thing was that poison doesn’t work anyway.

The Dokma had to follow Cheonma for a month.

It wasn’t arbitrary, but anyway, a word came out of his mouth begging him to be able to follow him.

“It was fun then.”

At that time, the Dokma had to tell him one daily recipe for poison he knew.

The people who followed him at that time were Maui and Sihyeolma.

The two also had considerable knowledge about poison, although not as much as the Dokma.

The Dokma had to tell them of the poison that they did not know about.

It was only a month, but the Dokma had to wrap up his head around and wonder what kind of poison he should give him every day.

However, any typical poison would be known by the Maui and Sihyeolma, and in the end, he had no choice but to throw out the unknown poisons that Dokma made himself.

One of them was this poison, which he informed Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui.

Byeoktaesan thought it was remarkable.

At that time, when Dokma was talking about how to make the poison, he heard all the contents because he was with him.

But since he wasn’t interested, he didn’t make an effort to remember it.

As soon as he actually heard it, he forgot everything.

However, when he recalled the situation at the time, he remembered everything so clearly.

He remembered the conversation they had at the time and the expression he had made when he said that.

So, that was why he was able to inform them about the ingredients and formulation of the complex poison.

Anyway, he was curious. What happened to him? The last time Byeoktaesan met Dokma was about three years before he died.

And that was the last outing before he died.

Since then, few people have seen Cheonma because they have only clung to Spirit Absorption.

At that time, the Dokma was exactly the same as before.

His tendency to enslave his disciples, being a pervert and even his appearance was the same.

Of course, the attitude toward Cheonma had changed a lot.

Anyway, if he only thought about the memories of that time, it felt unlikely that anything could have happened to Dokma.

Nobody knows what will happen to people. Still, looking at the atmosphere at the time, the Dokma seemed to eat well and live well for decades to come.

Originally, this would not have caused curiosity or anything like this.

But now, he was not the original Cheonma but Byeoktaesan.

He was very curious.

Byeoktaesan decided to accept this change of himself calmly.

Byeoktaesan, who organized his spiritual power and thoughts, got up from his seat and went outside.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon ran to him as if they were waiting.

“What about Yeon Ha Rin?”

To Byeoktaesan’s question, Yoo Seo-yeon answered with a bright face.

“She went to the next generation meeting. Shall we go and pick her up?”

Yoo Seo-yeon was very happy that Byeoktaesan searched for Yeon ha-rin.

Until now, she was very sad and worried that only Yeon Ha-rin was giving her heart, but it looked like Byeoktaesan was finally reciprocating some of those feelings.

Byeoktaesan said fatally to Yoo Seo-yeon, who looked at himself with anticipation.

“Why?”

“Pardon?”

“Why are you calling someone who will be doing well at the meeting? Just leave her alone.”

She didn’t know what to answer him, so she opened her mouth blankly and looked at Byeoktaesan.

Byeoktaesan walked without even paying attention to her reaction.

Cheon Gyeong-wan quickly followed up and asked.

“Are you going outside?”

Byeoktaesan nodded.

“What about Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui?”

“They went to see Ryeonju-nim. And they probably have a schedule that continues after that.”

Of course. The two will be really busy from this point on. Because they had to heal those who were poisoned.

Those who go went through the process must heal their symptoms, and those who have finished the course must be detoxified.

Each one had different symptoms, and each method of using an antidote was different, so it will probably hurt their head.

Byeoktaesan was just about to leave the dorm when from a distance, he saw three servants looking over to him with eager gazes.

Byeoktaesan tried to go out but got worried for some reason and said a word.

“Do some training while you wait.”

The three women nodded eagerly. And decidedly headed to the training arena.

Byeoktaesan laughed when he left the dorm.

“Huh, Hmm. What is this… … .”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon’s lips, quietly following Byeoktaesan, slightly formed a warm smile and then disappeared.

* * *

Byeoktaesan walked through the downtown area of ​​Uichang.

Following him, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon suddenly became anxious.

The two looked at each other and made eye contact. There were many conversations that were done through the eyes.

In the end, Cheon Gyeong-wan, who became the loser of his gaze conversation, carefully called Byeoktaesan.

“that… My lord.”

Byeoktaesan did not stop or turn his head.

“What?”

“Can I ask where you are going?”

“Geumokru.”

“Isn’t Geumokru a brothel?

Byeoktaesan nodded.

“I heard it’s the biggest brothel in Uichang.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon’s complexion worsened.

They didn’t know he would go to a brothel even after he came here.

“The sun is still in the sky. Maybe it hasn’t opened yet… … .”

“Why does that matter?”

After saying that, Byeoktaesan extended his stride and stepped forward.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon looked at each other once again and quickly followed behind Byeoktaesan.

Soon they arrived at the Geumokru.

It was said to be the largest brothel in Uichang and it was definitely a great scale. A signboard called Geumokru was hung at the front door of a huge manor surrounded by high walls.

Byeoktaesan opened the front door and went inside.

There was no one outside the main gate, but when he opened the door and entered, there were men everywhere, who seemed to be martial artists of Heukdo.

Probably, if a clumsy martial artist causes trouble, he will suffer quickly without being able to exert his strength.

The location occupied by the warriors was quite subtle.

And Byeoktaesan confirmed the weak flow of energy between the men.

It was a fairly high-quality HapGyeokJin.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon, who went alongside Byeoktaesan, felt an unusual aura and looked around sharply.

“We still need three more hours to start the business. Please come back later.”

One of the men stepped forward and said politely.

The flow of energy connected to his body was the strongest.

Apparently, it seemed to be one of the abilities of HapGyeokJin to pass on the energy of the men into him to some extent.

“I didn’t come to hold women. Baekhwaruju is here right?”

The man politely answered Byeoktaesan’s words.

“This is Geumokru. If you want to find Baekhwaruju, wouldn’t you have to go to Baekhwaru?”

It is true that Baekhwaruju came from Wuhan.

And she was a pretty high person. In addition, there were a lot of Hanyang who came to visit from Wuhan in this way.

Among them, there were some of the great family members, so the man did not shake at all even though Byeoktaesan brought two bodyguards.

“The Hao guild is certainly not the same as it used to be.”

Byeoktaesan’s words changed the man’s expression. He had come knowing that this place was a part of the Hao guild.

The man politely bowed and said.

“Please, wait a moment. I will put a message inside.”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“Why would I want to wait? The unfortunate one would have to come. I’ll be heading back, so tell her to do whatever she wants, whether to come later or not.”

Byeoktaesan said that and turned away calmly.

The man was confused and tried to stop him, but he could not reach out. This was because Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon stopped the path of hand and sprinkled fierce aura.

“Ugh!”

The man’s body stiffened in the same posture as he had reached out, and could not move further.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon slowly turned and went outside. Until then, the aura did not dissipate at all.

The man stood in that position for a while, then staggered and woke up.

And quickly ran inside.

* * *

“This was a part of the Hao Guild.”

Yoo Seo-yeon said, looking back at Geumokru, which was quite far away with interested eyes.

It was the same with Cheon Gyeong-wan.

In fact, they knew that the Baekhwaru in Wuhan was the branch of the Hao guild that was built with the money of Cheon Jinryeon.

However, after they came to Uichang and saw the Hao guild branch, they were amazed. The two looked at the back of Byeoktaesan with amazing gazes.

“My lord, how did you know that they were a part of the Hao guild?”

“What do you mean how did I know, I knew because the Hao guild told me.”

“Yes?”

“There is such a thing.”In exchange for delivering Amyeongbo, he received information on all the Hao guild branches scattered around the world. If he decides to use the Hao guild, he must know where to find them to use them.“By the way, the level of the Hao guild was true… It has become a lot weaker.”Byeoktaesan mumbled like that and kicked his tongue.

In the past, when Byeoktaesan was a Cheonma, more specifically, about several decades before his death, Hao guild’s intelligence was comparable to that of Cheonma Shinkyo.

Moreover, the types of information handled were slightly different, so the Cheonma Shinkyo sometimes used the Hao guild’s information.

If it was the Hao guild at that time, perhaps even if Byeoktaesan was near Geumokru, the report would have reached the highest of their guild.

And the moment Byeoktaesan entered the front door, he would have been treated appropriately.

“Should I… try making them work really hard?”

Byeoktaesan mumbled like that, then smiled and shook his head.

That would just be a bother for him.

“I just want to live comfortably.”
