< Episode 41: King of Poisonous Poison (4) >
‘what? ‘Is it sweet?’
Baek Sogang the second son of Baek Sa-ha King of Island Dogs and Minister of Foreign Affairs clicked his tongue as if it was absurd.
Contrary to his appearance he seemed to be full of bravado.
It was this extreme poison that even quite a few Naegong masters who had mastered internal skills found it difficult to withstand it unless they made up their minds and practiced fortune.
Moreover Mok Gyeong-un who was only at the beginning of the climax could not endure.
‘I guess I should get ready.’
The good news was that this was the Baek family’s manor.
I was prepared to detoxify if the situation arises.
Then someone came up.
“Is it okay to just drink and hold on to one corner?”
He was Jang Neungak the second disciple of Hoiju.
Because of his dignity he was the one who tried to drink poison first.
However he didn’t look very happy perhaps because he was upset about losing the player to Mok Gyeong-un.
“My lord!”
Seo Hye-in the leader of the Oakhoe Saak premiere troupe called him with concern.
No matter how much it was done to gain support it was a somewhat reckless act.
Even in a hundred families where poison experts gathered it was quite dangerous to drink poison that only four could withstand.
-Sigh!
At that time Ho Jong-hyuk the great leader of the Samak (三岳) Buchyeoldan shook his head.
“Shouldn’t I stop you? Anyway…”
“Are you going to disgrace your master?”
“yes?”
“What do you think will happen to your face if your lord steps down in front of another successor?”
Seo Hye-in immediately closed her mouth at Ho Jong-hyuk’s words.
There was some truth to what he said.
It may be a somewhat absurd condition but if I were to step down from this position now it would be like taking a step back from competing as the successor.
At that time Wi So-yeon the third disciple of Hoe-ju also came forward and said.
“I’d like a drink too.”
She too had made up her mind.
In fact she was somewhat confident because Soyeon above had more internal strength than anyone else.
However since she had never done anything like this by directly swallowing her own poison she hesitated for a moment.
‘…I can’t give in.’
From Wei So-yeon’s perspective she needed the support of Baek Sa-ha the king of island poisons.
That’s why she couldn’t back down like this.
As she approached the table where the jug containing her poison was she glanced at Mok Kyung-yun.
‘It’s reckless.’
I felt this from the moment I first saw her but she walks the line between gutsy and recklessness.
The level of his inner strength was confirmed directly through the Sihyeolgok report.
If it is an ordinary poison it may be possible to expel it out of the body by constantly feeding it even at the beginning of the climax.
But now poison is on a completely different level.
When it comes to poisonous liquor in the central region it was a poison made by Baekga one of the top three poisons.
If it weren’t for extreme endurance it might have been difficult to endure.
‘Why are you doing this?’
She couldn’t understand Mo Qingyun.
If she had obtained the chief plaque of the Shihyeolgok Gate she should have asked for teachings from two people who received the title of Palseong (八星) who are called the highest officials of the Central Plain among the five kings (Five Kings).
But why is he the king of islands among so many?
‘What on earth do you want to learn?’
King Seomdok’s main martial skill was poison.
Since it is a field that is completely different from that of ordinary martial artists there would not be much gain even if I asked for guidance so I don’t understand why they do that.
‘Are you a weirdo?’
It didn’t matter anyway.
As this happened it seemed like Mok Gyeong-un’s true skills could be confirmed.
It is said that the word “transcendent territory” came out of the mouth of the executioner so you can see how much progress has really been made in such a short period of time.
-Gulp!
At that time Jang Neungak swallowed the poison from the cup in one go.
Since Mok Gyeong-un did it first he couldn’t be seen drinking slowly.
Because he was so stubborn it was difficult to completely hide his expression.
‘Uuuup.’
Nausea and extreme disgust rose up along with the pain of my lips burning.
He felt like he wanted to vomit.
‘Damn it.’
Are you telling me to eat something like this and survive?
It was a situation where the poison that had entered the body had to be detoxified first.
As soon as I came in even though my esophagus and stomach walls were protected with internal energy I felt a burning sensation and even had a headache.
It was definitely Baekga’s extreme poison.
‘You shouldn’t show it.’
Jang Neungak managed his facial expression as much as possible.
His subordinates were also watching and it was impossible for him to frown arrogantly in the presence of that damn woman.
‘Whoa.’
Wi So-yeon then swallowed the poison from the poison cup.
Not wanting to even taste her she wrapped her mouth and tongue with inner energy and swallowed her poison.
So I was able to pay more attention to facial expressions than Jang Neungak.
However even if I protected her tongue I couldn’t help but frown as the smell climbed down her throat and stung my nose.
“Cough.”
Wei So-yeon coughed slightly without realizing it and soon her face turned red and she turned her head.
What kind of disgrace is this?
Her foul smell made her cough.
She felt ashamed of something but she had to hold on anyway or quickly relieve this extreme poison.
-Ssssss!
Not long after purple vapor rose from Wei Xiaoyeon’s shoulder.
It wasn’t just her.
Jang Neung-Ak Hui Zhou’s second disciple also began to see purple vapor rising from her shoulders although a little later than Xiao Yan.
‘also!’
Wei Shao-yeon’s henchmen looked at this with triumphant expressions.
Her profound skills were already famous within the Cheonjihoe.
‘Fucking bitch.’
Jang Nung-Ak looked at So-yeon above her and cursed inwardly.
If it weren’t for her strange constitution she wouldn’t have been caught in Master’s eyes.
One way or another that bitch ended up being the first to relieve the poison.
In response Jang Neungak concentrated even more and tried to expel the poison out of the body.
-Shoooooo!
Maybe that’s why the purple vapor over Jang Neung-ak’s shoulder became even thicker.
Watching this scene Lady Jang the wife of Baek Sa-ha the king of the island and Baek So-gang her second son couldn’t help but admire inwardly.
That poison was an extreme poison close to the poison that was filling the annex.
It was truly amazing that even warriors who had mastered Baekga’s poison techniques were able to relieve poisons that they were unable to handle.
‘It’s not an average skill.’
All of Hoeju’s disciples said that he had deep inner strength and it seems to have been true.
It seemed like this would be enough to relieve all of the extreme poison not just in one corner but even in half.
however
‘what?’
The second son Baek So-gang looked at Mo Gyeong-un with questioning eyes.
Unlike Hui Zhou’s successors Mo Gyeong-un just stood still.
I wondered if he was doing that because he was barely able to survive by raising his internal strength but he didn’t look like he was in any pain or anything like that.
Rather it even seemed relaxed.
‘…Is it right to withstand the poison?’
No matter how I looked it didn’t look like that.
Like those two successors their study of internal skills is not as deep so all they can do is hold on so why is there no change in their expression at all?
Is it not difficult at all?
I wasn’t the only one asking these questions.
‘Who is this guy?’
Jang Neungak didn’t think anything of it at first but couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw Mok Gyeong-un sitting still without even dissolving the poison.
Why are you so still?
This poison was so strong that if it was not quickly relieved it could not only cause damage to the five organs but also affect the brain.
‘It must be dangerous?’
Wei Xiaoyeon also looked at Mo Qingyun with eyes of concern.
He was the first to drink the poisonous cup.
However it seemed very dangerous to not raise the internal energy and relieve the poison.
Baek So-gang the second son seemed to think that this would not work and approached him and spoke in a low voice.
“Confucius Wood. “If it’s difficult to drive out the poison say it’s difficult.”
If I tried too hard and pretended I was okay I could have spent four months.
however
“it’s okay. But if there is no problem with taking poison isn’t it okay to just go in?”
‘!?’
Baek Sogang’s eyes narrowed at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
Is it okay to go if there are no problems?
Is it possible that I am okay even though I didn’t even expel the poison after drinking it?
“Confucius…Are you really okay?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
‘Is that possible?’
Baek Xiaogang looked at Mo Qingyun’s face.
Then the look in his eyes quickly became one of incomprehension.
Of course if someone was poisoned the first thing that would happen was a change in their lips and face but Mok Gyeong-un showed no signs of that at all.
‘….under.’
What on earth is going on?
He probably isn’t even a person who has mastered poison so how can he be so fine after drinking extreme poison?
I couldn’t understand the English text but Mok Gyeong-un said.
“Can I come in?”
“Confucius Wood…..or…..”
I wanted to ask if it would be possible to look inside the body through internal energy.
However it was a complete departure from the example of unmanned people even among members of the same Cheonjihoe.
That’s why I couldn’t bear to say that.
hereto
“Confucius Wood. “Can I check for a moment?”
“Confirm?”
“exactly.”
There was a way to examine the body through internal energy but there were also other methods.
By dropping Mokgyeongun’s saliva into the neutralizing liquid it was possible to tell whether or not the person was poisoned.
Those who practice poisonous techniques always have this with them.
The second son Baek So-gang took out a gourd the size of two fingers from his waist and soaked a white towel in the liquid.
Then he spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
“Please spit here.”
“It’s not difficult but is there really a need to check?”
“What?”
“I think it is a mixture of Oleander decoction lacquer blue turtle internal poison angelica root mansa poison Datura plant red-striped scorpion poison red ant poison poison arrow frog poison wasp poison raccoon poison homecoming fish poison and yellow seeds of bar flowers is that correct?”
‘!!!!!!!!’
At Mo Gyeong-un’s words the eyes of Baek So-gang the second son widened as if they were about to pop out.
For a moment he couldn’t believe his ears.
‘What the hell is this…’
He was so surprised that he was speechless.
The reason was that all the ingredients mentioned by Mok Gyeong-un were combined and condensed to form this extreme poison.
The only people who knew the main ingredients for this poison were Baek Sa-ha the king of island poisons and his sons.
It was a combination made up of ingredients that were very difficult to obtain and a poison so concentrated would be difficult for even experts in poisoning to identify even after analyzing it for a long time.
‘….That doesn’t make sense.’
It was so absurd that I almost wanted to deny it.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him.
“Did I miss anything?”
At this question Hoeju’s second disciple Jang Neung-ak and his third disciple Wi So-yeon’s henchmen looked at him with disbelief.
Is it possible to mix food ingredients after swallowing poison?
Anyway this wasn’t it.
I’m thinking that
“…..Everything is correct.”
A shocking answer came out of Baek Sogang’s mouth.
‘That’s right?’
‘Did you just say yes?’
‘What is this?’
The henchmen of the two successors were all agitated.
Is it possible for someone who is not a poison expert or pharmacist to take poison and then match the ingredients in it at once?
Everyone had an expression of disbelief.
While doing so Mrs. Jang was also surprised by what her son Baek So-gang said and asked.
“….Confucius Wood. Have you ever learned how to do poison?”
“That can’t be right.”
“But how do you get the ingredients for poison?”
“iced coffee. “I was interested in medicinal herbs and poisonous plants since I was young so I studied them.”
“Studying? “Alone?”
This question reminded Mok Gyeong-un of his grandfather but he had no reason to tell them.
And after coming out and experiencing it it seemed like a certain amount of modesty was necessary.
So
“Anyway how could you possibly have learned it on your own? “I received help from doctors and pharmacists around me.”
“under…”
Mrs. Jang was astonished at those words.
It was hard to believe all of these answers but if Mok Gyeong-un was really interested in poisonous plants and medicinal herbs and had mastered them at this level he could rightly be called a genius.
It was not easy to distinguish the taste of even herbs that were less harmful to the body.
What about poison which is more of a pain than a taste?
‘What on earth is this kid?’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that his level of ability to distinguish poison was close to that of Baek Sa-ha or even the king of island poisons.
I was surprised but Mok Kyung-un said it as if it was no big deal.
“If you are interested in or have studied medicinal herbs or poisonous plants anyone can guess this but I don’t know why you are doing that.”
‘!?’
