Episode 26
003. Tree (2)
Seven days.
Jin Cheon-hee successfully absorbed the energy of the five elements.
‘Am I a human or a machine that spins my energy? by the way. ‘Almost twice as much.’
The elixir called Baeksongdan allowed him to cleanse his face and even gave him five years of power. But now, after eating all five of the Five Elements of Baekrin Uigak and practicing the Five Element Mind Technique, my strength has already increased to ten years’ worth in an instant.
Even if you combine all five elixirs, it is actually not as good as Baekpine Dan. Nevertheless, this increase in internal strength was due to the principle of co-existence and opposite-play of the Five Elements True Qi.
Jin Cheon-hee didn’t know this yet, but she felt that there was something very strange.
Baekrin Uigak is one of the three greatest Uigak in the world.
If Uibang is a small faction, then Uigak is a Daemun faction.
in other words. Baekrin Uigak is a group of lawmakers that are counted among the top three in the world.
Therefore, he has extensive knowledge in the manufacture and sale of elixirs.
Of course, in the field of elixirs, there are many people who value Hwaju Pavilion, which has medicinal lines, more highly than Baek Lin Uigak, but that does not mean that Baek Rin Uigak’s level is low.
Because it is Baeklin’s Pavilion, it manufactures various elixirs.
There are levels of elixirs, ranging from high to low.
Even at Baeklin’s Pavilion, only one or two high-grade elixirs are made a year, so even if you are Jin Cheon-hee, who became the immediate disciple of Baeklin’s Pavilion, you cannot easily consume them.
However, low-level elixirs could be supplied sufficiently at the discretion of the Lord of Baekrin.
That is, seven days ago.
In modern time, those are the five elixirs I took a week ago. And there are quite a few elixirs left to take in the future.
in other words. It means that you are on the right foot.
‘If you look at martial arts novels, it is said that the immediate disciples of the Daemun Sect or the direct descendants of the great families have been eating elixirs like rice since they were young. I never thought I would end up like this. ‘Should I call this a blessing?’
Of course, this is not something that can be done mechanically.
It must be done based on one’s deep understanding of the five elements. This is because simply increasing the amount of internal energy is not important.
“That’s amazing. How can a person do that again and again and again? “You barely got any sleep.”
Early morning inner training.
This is something that anyone who has learned inner skills does. And Yoo Ho came and spoke to Jin Cheon-hee, who had just finished training in Naegong.
‘Why did he come again? And man, you too should try a life of training.’
At that time, I was exhausted both physically and mentally.
If there were a modern version of slaves, it could be called the Korean medical practitioner system. He was like an untouchable at the lowest level of power.
At that time, I was criticized no matter what I did.
I heard it from the patient, I heard it from the patient’s guardian, I heard it from the professor. I also heard it from a passing dog.
I told my classmate that I was hallucinating because I was too tired, and he told me to go to the psychiatry department on the second floor of the new building, but Jin Cheon-hee clearly heard it at that time.
Everything in this world cursed at him.
Little medical slave Jin Tianxi was always full of anger and sadness.
Afterwards, I couldn’t feel anything at all.
I realized what it was like to be emotionally overcome by fatigue.
In contrast, just by practicing this, my mind and body became increasingly clearer and more comfortable. Additionally, whenever he did something, members of the National Assembly came and praised and encouraged him, saying he was great.
It was his life as the second most powerful person in Baekrin’s house.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Ah, I was a child who grew up receiving praise like this.’
“Huh… It looks like you have just entered the realm of the Five Elements and Mind Method.”
“Is it fast? Now that I think about it, I heard that achievements such as Ilseong have nothing to do with the amount of internal energy. “How do you measure it?”
“As far as I know, it’s very fast. And martial arts achievements are evaluated based on one’s ability to handle real energy. In the eyes of an expert like me, if you pretend, you can see it. By the way… how is it that, aside from the fact that the intellect is excellent, people don’t rest?”
Yu Hao only came to check on Jin Tianxi at the behest of Zhuge Lin. And I discovered that I had just achieved the perfection of the Five Elements and Mind Method.
The speed at which he achieved it was beyond imagination, but his actions were also shocking to Yuho.
“You’re resting.”
“Is Wungong taking a break?”
“….”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheon-hee looked at Yu Hao with a face like a Buddha.
Yuho thought.
‘The eyes are like those of someone who has experienced hell. ‘How on earth can a child have eyes like that?’
It was so deep, so deep that it was even eerie.
‘These are not the clear eyes of a child. The eyes of a long-time slave who have been devastated… What is that boy’s past…?’
At that time, I heard the door to the cloud room open.
“Hey!”
“Master!”
Jin Cheon-hee returned with the expression of a child, ran to her teacher and was hugged.
“Oh my genius puppy! “It reminded me of my husband, so I ordered Gasol to buy me something delicious on the street.”
“Oh my goodness, it’s a long way to the market. “Did you go up and down the mountain carrying something to eat?”
“Don’t worry. Heeya. “It’s okay because adults are strong.”
“Wow~ I see! Thank goodness~ Adults are okay! “Master, can I have more of this?”
“of course. Do you have anything? Buy some more sweets. “Don’t forget to go to Gyeonggong before it gets cold.”
“yes yes! Footnote! “I’ll be back like a barbaram!”
It was the voice of a tired member of society rather than a martial artist.
Jin Cheon-hee was startled by that voice and shook her head.
“Master, I’m fine. “I’m full.”
“No, no. Heeya. Are you doing that because you’re worried? Now look. “You’re an adult, so it’s okay, right?”
“yes! Footnote! Of course it’s okay and it’s a horseshoe show! Haha ahahaha! Wahahahahahaha!”
“Now look. You say it’s okay? Cheonhee. “There is nothing for you to worry about.”
It’s the devil. It was the devil.
The master, who had lost his fortune, became a devil to watch his disciple eat.
Yuho decided to forget what he saw today.
* * *
The day when Jin Cheon-hee achieved the perfection of the Five Elements and Mind Method. Zhugelin’s new residence was also completed.
Originally, it would have been impossible to complete the project so quickly, but the construction period was shortened by using a large number of workers.
The inside of the dwelling thus created was finished with wood, and the walls were plastered with mud. This is also an idea that Jin Cheon-hee came up with.
Jin Cheon-hee called this insulation, and the completed house had a quite different feel from this Jungwon style.
On one side, there is a glass window large enough to be called a wall, and both an ondol and a stove are installed inside it.
This is a house where you can feel a strong will not to tolerate any coldness.
The shape of the bed is also slightly different.
Originally, in this world, beds made of wood with blankets were common, but Jin Cheon-hee’s insistence that people sleep directly on the floor in an ondol house made it a space that felt quite different from a normal sleeping place.
And today, the house was completed.
Yu Ho entered the house with Jegalin.
“Hehe… Isn’t this too hot?”
“It’s because I put a lot of firewood in the furnace to see how much the heat would rise. “I was trying to confirm whether what the bastard said was true.”
Yoo Ho used to call Jin Cheon-hee a brat when he was not around.
Jegalin ignored that and asked.
“Anyway, I don’t know why you’re so hard on Jin Cheon-hee, not even your child. So what is it like?”
“Honestly… it exceeded my expectations.”
Jegalin chuckled at Yu Hao’s words.
“okay. It’s beyond my expectations. It makes me wonder where he got this knowledge… But. Didn’t you decide not to ask? I’ll teach you someday. “I’ve already seen that child’s sincerity….”
Sincerely.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
I won’t let you die easily.
“I thought I could really live with just the stove… but this seems to be even better.”
I went inside the house, took off my shoes, and stepped on the floor.
The heat rising from the floor was hot.
It would be a room that would make an average person sweat, but for Zhugelin, this was better.
He secretly tried to reduce the inner energy that protected the inside of his body a little, and felt the hot heat seeping into his body and neutralizing the cold.
My whole body feels warm, as if I entered a hot spring.
Zhugelin smiled at the good feeling and headed to the bed.
I can see it even if I sit down and lie down there. The warmth on my back felt different from the heat from the stove.
“How are you, master?”
“Very… very good. Is this Ondol… Hehe… It feels like my whole body is being heated…”
“Is that so?”
“But you too will admit it now. “Can’t you stop calling me a brat?”
“well. “I still want to call you a bastard.”
“Tsk tsk. That stubbornness is true. By the way… it’s really good. “This is really good.”
A smile appeared on Zhugelin’s face.
Seeing Jegalin like that, Yu Ho’s expression relaxed a little.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee’s training continued even after the ondol was installed and Jegalin was obsessed with it.
However, it was a little different from previous training.
Jin Cheon-hee, who had acquired ten years of skill, now had to train to handle it properly.
Jingi Yogyeol.
I began to learn the secrets, methods, or techniques of operating the so-called Jingi. To do this, of course, he needed education from his teacher, Zhugelin.
This must be accompanied by careful guidance.
In front of Zhuge Lin, Jin Tianxi slowly created the fire energy of the Five Elements Mind Method at his fingertips.
The fire that started in Danjeon finally came to Jin Cheonhee’s fingertips.
The thin rice paper caught fire.
Grumble-
“You succeeded.”
People who didn’t know it would have mistaken it for Samadhi Evolution, which is used when you overcome the wall of being a super expert.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Only thin rice paper like this can light a fire.”
“The first step is the same for everyone. “If we become successful, something like this is possible.”
Zhugelin swung the fan he was holding once. Then the flames drew a line along the fan’s trajectory.
Kugugung-
A huge tree has been cut down.
What is surprising is that only the cut part was charred and the fire did not spread.
Jin Cheon-hee looked at the cross section and said in bewilderment.
“How on earth is this possible?”
Instead of answering, the teacher said this.
“The basic quality of fire is destruction. It is natural that trees, iron, swords, and curtains eventually fall down. That’s why…”
Master pushed the cut tree with the tip of his fan.
Then, a huge piece of wood moved on top of Master’s fan. Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“Is it wind energy?”
“The essence of the wind is movement. It flows without stopping and does not stay.”
Master placed the tree where it was originally cut.
Of course, it was just put back on where it had been cut, not glued.
He said.
“This tree will die if it continues like this because it has been eroded by fire. Would you like to try attaching it with water?”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee bit her lip and went in front of the tree. Saving dying trees.
Water means life. But no matter how much I concentrated, I rarely succeeded.
