Chapter 160 – Flex (2)
From the time when the individual called human beings existed in the beginning until now.
There was only one wish that I had dreamed of for a long time.
immortality.
In fact, it could be said that it was a wish that not only humans but also all living creatures could hope for.
So, I thought it was the realm of God.
However, humans did not want to simply leave it in the realm of God.
If sorcerers are those who seek to bring the knowledge of God down into the realm of reason.
The witch doctors were those who tried to keep the state of the gods in the realm of humans.
Thus, the study of digging up and exploring immortality was born.
Western alchemy.
In the East, it is the dandanjutsu (燃丹術).
This was the background of the birth of these two disciplines.
However, human beings’ arrogant desire to become gods eventually created a real hell, which resulted in the sacrifice of many people.
failed study.
Today, it was a term used to refer to alchemy and refinement.
But did they say flowers bloom even in mud?
Even in that failure, there were those who eventually reached transcendence beyond the realm of God.
one of them is right.
[Nice to meet you. I say Hwa-ta.]
It was Hwa-ta in front of me.
[Heh heh heh. He said he wanted to learn the art of refinement.]
Hwata had a cool impression.
Hwa-ta, who is called a divine doctor, but the face he faced was an image that comes to mind when you think of an ‘elderly local medicine man’.
Seojun nodded his head as he looked at the fire.
“yes. I want to make the elixir myself.”
[Elixir… Elixir. Hmm…]
For an instant, Hwa-ta slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
He seemed to be thinking for a while, but Hwa-ta soon opened his mouth.
[Strictly speaking, refinement is not a way to make an elixir.]
“Yes? what is that…?”
[I’ll have to start with a basic lecture on the alchemy technique.]
Then, Hwata cleared her throat and continued.
[The training technique refers to changing the inner end inherent in living beings into an outer end.] [
And the outer end is a kind of harmony that has a small amount but a large effect. It can be called a medicine.]
[But. In addition to this preparation, there are two other types, which are called Hongseungdan and Baekgangdan.] [
However, in application, a specific type of inner end is used or a specific formulation is also called Dan. .]
[Therefore, it is not possible to specifically say that it is Dan with a certain type of fixed form.] [Yu Hong-pa, which
deals with sulfur and silver; (Kim So-yeon). That is the reason why all of these are called yeondan (燃丹)
. The preparation (製劑) goes through a total of seven steps, so it is called Chilban (七返), and the fandan also goes through nine steps, so it is called Guhwan (九還).] [And these two manufacturing methods are called return (返還) or
fanban It is abbreviated as (還返).]
Hwa-ta, who uttered such a long explanation at the same tempo, took a moment to catch his breath.
And at the explanation of Hwa-ta, Seo-joon nodded with a smile.
“Ah…”
A complex concept that cannot even be explained.
Really.
I couldn’t even hear what was being said!
Of course, Insight [S] was working hard to organize things in my head.
“……”
Still, I couldn’t understand.
To be precise, even Insight [S] couldn’t keep up with the concept explained by Hwa-ta.
Seojun looked at his mentor in this dizzying spirit.
But what
< ....... Huh! >
The mentor was dozing off.
‘……’
There was nothing to say.
‘Whatever.’
Seo-joon consciously organized the concept of Hwa-ta once.
So… Alchemy is the study of making outer ends.
And, although the concepts of Oedan and Elixir are different, they have virtually the same efficacy.
In a word, the key was that it meant that whether it was an elixir or an outsider.
‘Why is this so complicated…?’
The problem was that it was quite difficult to understand even that simple concept.
That time when I wonder if this is just throwing away raw money.
belt ring.
< Hwata lecture progress rate 12.5% (+12.5%) >
Suddenly, a notification window popped up saying that the progress rate of the lecture had increased.
That figure is a whopping 12.5%.
It only went up by 12.5% in one explanation.
‘Is there a reason for complicating the explanation…?’
It was said that it was a premium lecture, but it seemed to be worth it as much as the money went into it.
[Then, before learning the refinement technique, let me first explain the concept of dan. Dan refers to the essence of life…] Hwa-ta continued to speak, and Seo-joon still did not understand
Hwa-ta’s explanation. .
but.
belt ring.
< Hwata lecture progress rate 18.2% (+5.7%) >
“Oh… I see.”
Seojun continued to nod his head pretending to realize.
#
Hwata’s premium lecture ended after about 4 hours.
In the middle, I thought the heroes would return, but somehow they haven’t returned yet.
[Acquisition is very fast! Hehehe But I still need to review what I’ve learned, so I’ll stop here for today.]
Anyway, Hwata left with a very satisfied expression.
However, unlike such anger, Seo-joon was to die for.
“Ugh… my head hurts.”
Is it often called hyeyeol (慧熱)?
Seo-joon’s head was burning hot beyond being hot.
How did it happen that Insight [S] couldn’t keep up?
At that moment, a snoring sound was heard from somewhere.
I turned my head and looked at the place where the dozed-off mentor was lying down and sleeping.
“……This is the first time I’ve ever slept.”
I wanted to wake him up, but I decided to leave him alone for now.
“Eh, what kind of lecture is this difficult…”
Seo-joon pressed his throbbing temples to check the progress of the lecture.
< Hwata lecture progress rate 34.7% (+16.5%) >
The progress rate of the lecture reached 34.7%.
It took 4 hours to get here, so if you invested 40 billion won and 34.7%, it was a business with a lot of surplus.
“Um…”
To be honest, it wasn’t an extra business.
Just thinking about Jecheon Daeseong’s Rannachal lecture, it was only 28 billion won.
However, since I spent 40 billion won in 4 hours, honestly, it was not a profitable business.
In addition, if you add 535 billion won to the cost of teaching aids, a total of 575 billion was consumed.
It was not a business that remained anywhere.
“But… it can save time.”
However, Seo-joon was not discouraged at all.
Even so, compared to 100 trillion, it was nothing more than a scratch!
Moreover, Hwata did not simply give lectures.
Seo-joon opened the small neck armor in front of him.
It contained yellow marbles the size of eye candy.
“This is the outer sheath made with the training technique…”
It was the outer sheath made by Hwata as a demonstration when she entered the practice part.
The material was Demukade inner hem Seo-jun had found.
Seo-joon carefully took out one of the outer sheaths of the demugade.
How the extra money was spent was determined by the effectiveness of this exodus.
Seo-joon calmed his trembling heart and threw the outer layer into his mouth.
Lightly…
the spicy scent of herbal medicine spreads throughout the mouth and the outer layer melted in an instant.
“……huh? No effect…”
Right then.
Koo Goo Goo Goong…!!!
Suddenly, considerable energy began to burst through Seo-joon’s body.
Seo-joon hurriedly closed his eyes and calmly captured the energy.
That’s how the galmu ended.
“…isn’t it better than I thought?”
Seo-jun opened his eyes in surprise at the increased amount of magic power.
Of course, the energy was significantly less than the elixir bought at the transcendent store.
That’s why Seo-joon thought that it was worth trying if it was at about 1/10 level.
“A… I think it’s about 1/5.”
However, the energy compared to it seemed to be about 1/5 of the actual feeling.
It was twice as good as expected.
“If this is the case…”
It was safe to say that there was no more worrying about the elixir.
Of course, he hadn’t yet completed the refinement technique.
But that’s it, it was something I would complete sooner or later if I put money on it.
Also, Hwa-ta said that if you take the same oedan repeatedly, the effect gradually decreases.
But that’s it, catching other monsters and supplying other inner altars was enough.
In a word, it was safe to say that there was no more worry about the elixir!
“ah…!”
Seo-joon exclaimed involuntarily.
The past days of living far away to earn tuition.
The past days when I struggled to fill the magical power of Samdanjeon by supplying the elixir.
The days of suffering due to cause and effect pass by like a panorama.
“I… I finally…”
Can he escape from the loathsome single room?
Can you get out of a taxi and buy a fancy sports car?
“ah…!”
For some reason… I felt like I was going to cry.
Seo-joon’s body trembled without even realizing it.
Of course, in order to learn the Cheonwol Yuseongchang from Jecheon Daeseong, he had to take a tutor again.
It required an enormous cause and effect of 1 trillion per hour, but not now.
There was still time before I could cast the 1st form of the Celestial Meteor Spear.
Then, at least until then, the causal worries were over.
100 trillion won.
It was an enormous cause and effect that even the notorious Transcendentalist Academy did not dare to do anything about.
Namely, transcendent cause and effect.
Seojun decided to call 100 trillion won that way from now on.
“How do I spend this money…!”
Seojun calmed his trembling heart and organized his thoughts.
first.
“Let’s start with the Atlas daily task.”
Atlas’s Diamond Power, which is said to be the ultimate physical training.
It was only after casting the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear this time that Seo-joon realized.
The role of Vajrapani Buddha was very important in enduring the reaction of the transcendence period.
Seojun picked up his smartphone and checked Atlas’ daily assignment.
-Stay on horseback for 1 hour while carrying 500 tons of weight. [0/60 min]
-Take 1 dose of Jormungandr’s Deadly Poison. [0/1]
Endure the heat of -1000 degrees with your whole body for 10 minutes. [0/10 minutes]
– Endure the cold at -100 degrees with your whole body for 10 minutes. [0/10 minutes]
.
.
Carrying 500 tons of weight wasn’t really a problem.
Jormungandr’s deadly poison was not a big problem either.
I had to buy 100 million each, but the money overflowed!
“How do you deal with heat and cold…”
The remaining two problems were.
1000 degree heat and -100 degree cold.
This was the kind that couldn’t be easily resolved.
“I can’t soak myself in lava…”
So Seo-joon thought of asking Soo-yeon to use Prominence Flame and Freeze Blast.
It was because there was only magic of that level that could pull out 1000 degrees of heat and -100 degrees of cold.
“ah! You can ask Jung Ji-min to make a magician device like that as a reward.”
Jung Ji-min’s promise that he would do anything for him if he found him.
Originally, I was going to ask for the right amount of money…
but now the money is overflowing!
“Then, I have to install the magic device in the Dream Team building, but hmm…”
The current Dream Team building was too small for that.
“Then let’s just buy the surrounding land and make a dream team office building.”
Since it is Seoul, the price of land may be expensive, but even so, it is not worth hundreds of billions of won.
several hundred billion.
It was nothing compared to Seo-joon’s 100 trillion won!
“Is this called flex!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!”
Seo-joon really couldn’t hold back the burst of laughter.
< ...... Huh! >
And the mentor who was sleeping at the sound of Seo-joon’s mad laugh suddenly woke up.
Then he opened his eyes wide and looked around, looking around.
< Ah! Is the lecture over...? >
Seojun replied with a wide smile.
“yes! It was a very good time!”
< Uh... You seem to have liked it quite a bit...? >
“Sure! How could you not like it! Thanks to you, I was less worried about the elixir! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!”
Seo-joon couldn’t hold back the laughter that erupted even as he spoke.
Laughter that bursts out as you speak.
< ...... Why are you doing that again? >
The mentor shook his head.
And it was then.
< ...... Hmm? >
Suddenly, something foreign came into the mentor’s field of vision.
A single window was placed in one corner of the room.
It was none other than the Longinus spear used by Seo Jun.
Mentor jumped down and moved close to Longinus’s spear.
< This... >
Mentor snooped here and there, carefully examining the spear of Longinus.
how much time had passed like that?
< Ah... as expected >
the mentor nodded calmly and murmured.
And in response to the sudden behavior of the mentor, Seo-joon asked the mentor.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! what is it too? ah! Are you saying flex is flex? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
< ...... >
The mentor shook his head and opened his mouth again.
< Anyway, it seems that the time has come for Kim Seo-joon. >
The time has come?
Seo-joon asked his mentor with a smile still bursting out.
“Is it about time? Are you saying it’s time for me to flex? Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
Mentor raised his little finger and pointed to Longinus’ spear.
< Yogi. Can you see it? >
Seojun narrowed his eyes and looked at Longinus’ spear.
“uh?”
But somewhere, it was the spear of Longinus that was different from usual.
Seojun strode forward and picked up Longinus’s spear.
Then, it was found that Longinus’ spear had tiny incontinence like a spider’s web.
“what? Why is this…”
Seo-joon’s laughter burst out at that moment and stopped.
Now, not long after I passed out and woke up.
Above all, I was so busy listening to Hwa-ta lecture that I hadn’t checked it.
But even though I’ve fainted a few times in the past, I’ve never had one like this.
in a bewildered heart.
Suddenly, the mentor’s voice was heard.
< Have you used the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear recently? >
“Uh… yes.”
Seojun nodded lightly.
Then, as if the mentor knew it, he began to explain.
< Did you know that the items sold at our transcendence store are made by students who passed the production transcendence? >
“Yes.”
< So you can think that it was made by a Transcendentalist, but in fact, being a Transcendental Passed Student does not mean that it was made by a Transcendentalist . After taking a deep breath, he spoke again. < Of course, the level right before transcendence is also enormous, so the items are also of a considerable level. > < But there is a world-wide difference from those produced by true transcendants. >
Seo-joon repeated his mentor’s words once.
Then she slightly lowered her gaze and looked at the spear of Longinus, where there was a terrible incontinence like a spider’s web.
“What do you mean…?”
< Equipment in the Transcendent Store can't withstand the Transcendence. >
The mentor looked around at the Longinus spear Seo-joon was holding and continued. < Still, it's not originally this far, but ... I think it's because the power of the Cheonwol Meteor Spear, which was invented by Jecheon Daeseong himself, is so outstanding . Even in the eyes of Seo-jun, Longinus's spear looked serious. If I used the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear one more time, it seemed like it would break. No, it looked as if it would soon break even in the Lannachal let alone the Cheonwol Meteor Spear. < So, when they reach the level where they can use Transcendence Skills, newbies prepare to change the equipment that were previously imitations. > The power of the spear far exceeded my expectations. >
It was from this point on.
Deep in Seo-joon’s heart.
In some undefinable abyss, a terrible anxiety began to sprout.
The laughter that disappeared before I knew it.
Seojun asked his mentor in a trembling voice.
“So…you need to change your equipment? What if I want to keep using the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear?”
< Yes! Usually, it is common to submit requests to those who have transcended production. But the spear of Longinus that Kim Seo-joon was using... Wait a minute. >
The mentor moved with a gun and manipulated Seo-jun’s smartphone.
After such a short time, the mentor opened his mouth.
< Ah! You can just buy this as a genuine product. It seems that the original owner of the window could not transcend it. Above all, it is also an object of Kim Seo-joon's dimension. >
The spear of Longinus, the holy spear that is said to have stabbed Jesus.
And it was known that the person who stabbed him was a soldier named Longinus.
Hence the name Spear of Longinus.
But Longinus did nothing but stab Jesus.
That’s why it seemed that he hadn’t reached the level of transcendence.
However, it seemed that the window had transcended and remained in the Transcendent Academy.
And when I heard it right here.
Seo-jun was able to face the reality of the terrible anxiety that sprouted from the abyss.
“Uh uh uh uh…”
I couldn’t even say the words properly in my trembling heart.
Seo-joon was able to finally open his mouth after taking several deep breaths.
“How are you…? The real one…?”
< Wait a minute... But it's already made, so it's cheaper than production. >
The mentor manipulated the smartphone once again.
A long time passes, where one second feels like a year.
It’s like an instant.
That contradictory time passes and flows again.
< If you calculate the cause and effect of Kim Seo-joon's dimension... >
And Seo-joon was able to realize a word from the mentor that followed.
< Article 103. >
In front of the transcendent academy, there is no such thing as transcendent cause and effect.
Clink.
Longinus’ spear fell helplessly from Seojun’s hand to the floor.
