Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 137. Even if I die, I have to eat this! (2)

Proofread: Ying

Chung Myung literally overturned his eyes.

There have been countless times when he has been obsessed with small gains or money, but this is not to that extent. This case is completely different.

Who is Immortal Medicine?

He was considered to be the best when it comes to Alchemy. Alchemy is the method of making an elixir. In the past, Immortal Medicine's Honwondan was considered equal even to Shaolin Daehwandan.

It's that great Honwondan. That Honwondan !

Each well-known sect in the world has its own method of alchemy and based on that, they enhance the strength of their disciple. Among them, Daehwandan of Shaolin and Jasodan of Wudang is regarded as the best in the world.

What can be said of the elixir’s effect produced by Wudang and Shaolin, who can mobilize enormous wealth and manpower?

However, Immortal Medicine is a person who studied the method of refinement alone and surpassed the elixir of the two sects.

For the Murim people who risked their lives for strength and martial arts, Honwondan, which had more efficacy than the Daehwandan, was literally priceless.  

Those who got their hands on Honwondan became masters at once based on their enormous internal strength, perhaps the word “Priceless” may not be enough.

Even a hundred years ago, when it was said that the Honwondan was released to the world, blood and wind blew without question. Those who have turned their eyes did not hesitate to kill each other in order to obtain the Honwondan.

It's not the Honwondan, but Immortal Medicine's grave?

That's....

‘There could be the refinement method!'

The way people try to leave behind what they have achieved!

There is no way that a person who has achieved such an achievement would just get rid the method of refinement that he had studied all his life. He must have left it somewhere.

And if the tomb exists, the platform method is likely to exist inside it.

‘Even if I die, I have to eat this!'

No. To be exact, Mount Hua has to eat it.

Why are both Shaolin's Daehwandan and Wudang's Jasodan famous? That is because internal strength is important to learn martial arts.

If the skills are the same, it's obvious that the person with more internal strength has the advantage!

As a result, Shaolin and Wudang invested huge amounts of money and manpower to study alchemy recipe and created one of the best elixirs in the world. The disciples of the two sects who consumed the elixir will become stronger day by day.

Right,  Just like Mu Jin performed swordsmanship with enormous internal strength that was not suitable for his age a while ago.

Mount Hua, on the other way...….

'There is no refinement method.'

To be exact, it has been lost.

'There is no elixir.'

Thanks to this, Mount Hua's disciples are now unable to see an elixir and are now in a position to share the plum blossom pill that Chung Myung used to take as a hangover remedy.

Even the plum blossoms pills don't exist anymore.

It is said that they could survive with persistence only while the Chung Myung is in place. However, the loss of the sect's alchemy method after Chung Myung disappeared will be fatal.

"No, that's why you should've saved it well! You!"

Chung Myung pointed his finger at the sky.

- ……How would I know?

He's a sect leader and martial artist, but he doesn't have an alchemy method at all! Isn't this why the Yakdang guys are on strike because they're being treated as trivial?

Well, that's not what's important.

Chung Myung glared at Jin Hyun with half-turned eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"……Yes."

"You're sure that Geomchang is Immortal Medicine's grave?"

Jin Hyun coughed a little and opened his mouth.

"The reason why he was not recognized by the world even though he had risen to the position of the world's best is because of his poor martial art skill. But with his poor martial arts, he defeated all the masters of his time."

"Yeah, right."

Usually, when someone is the number one person in the world, it is their martial art that becomes famous along with the nicknames, but Chung Myung has never heard of what Talgeum Muheun-un’s martial arts are.

'It's definitely weird.'

“That is because, based on the unimaginable history of Immortal Medicine, he defeated his opponent without many moves. Even at the time, there were people who doubted it, but Immortal Medicine himself denied and it fizzled out. However, it was secretly reported that one of Immortal Medicine's acquaintances confessed it after his death."

“Did only a few sects know about it?”

"That's right."

Jin Hyun sighs.

Now Mount Hua will be added to some of those sects. No, the intensity will increase.

But it can't be helped. A martial artist's oath is heavier than a thousand gold. His personal gain shouldn’t tarnish the honor of Sasuk.

‘No, more than that...….’

‘If I don't tell him, he won't let us go.'

He doesn't know if people in the world will believe that the Wudang’s disciple is threatened, but it was a reality that was happening here.

"I've told you everything I know. Please let us go now."

"Well, of course. Because I am a man who keeps his promises."

Chung Myung grinned.

‘I'll let you go. I'll let you go.’

‘I'll just take one more.’

"So what about the map?"

"……What?"

"Where's the treasure map? You said you found the map."

"……."

Jin Hyun's eyes shook.

"Well, that's...."

Jin Hyun desperately worked his head.

"I said I will tell you what I know, but I didn't say I will give you the map!"

"You did. I know."

"Then why?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"Think carefully. If I let you go now, you'll bring more disciples from Wudang, right?"

"……."

"Maybe they'll flock like ants, right?"

"……."

"Then I'll be a dog that chases away the chicken. No matter how strong I am, there's no way I can do anything about Wudang that swarming like ants. Besides, you guys don't know the exact location of the tomb yet, right? Even you lot who have the can't find it. I can't find it by searching through the land of Namyung alone."

‘That's why I told you.’

Chung Myung smiled and looked at Jin Hyun.

It's obvious what Jin Hyun thinks. No matter how strong Chung Myung is, he cannot face the whole Wudang alone. And Mount Hua is far from here.

Even if Chung Myung knew the truth, he would think there was nothing he could do.

"So at least you have to hand over the map, don't you think so?"

‘Why is this happening? This?’

Jin Hyun hardened his face.

"I can't give you the map. That wasn't part of the deal!"

"Can't you give it to me?"

"Yes!"

"You can't give it to me?"

"……Yes……."

"Really?"

"……."

Jin Hyun's face turned blue. Watching Chung Myung approaching with a smile, his mind goes blank.

"Ta- are you introducing yourself as Taoist and threatening others to steal things? If you still have conscience…”

"Taoist?"

"That's right!"

"Who?"

"……."

Chung Myung clenched his fist.

Crack.

The sound of bone cracking from his hand gruesomely penetrates Jin Hyun.

"How many times have I told you. Who am I?"

“Mount- Mount Hua’s…”

"Tsk tsk. Our young master seems doesn't understand what he’s saying! I'll say it again! I'm a robber passing by!"

‘No. This bastard. Is this how you ...….’

"Choose!"

Chung Myung's eyes lit up.

"Give the map, go back to Wudang, and bring reinforcements... or!"

Bam!

Chung Myung hits the floor. Then the ground sank and a large hole was made.

"Put your neck here and wait for me until I find Geomchang!"

"……."

His head turns crooked.

"Which one?"

Jin Hyun smiled with a benevolent face.

"Isn't it true that you have to give up the desire to become a true Daoist?"

In the face of power, there is no Taoist or anything.

* * *

"Heh heh heh heh."

Chung Myung trudged down the mountain and checked the map over and over again.

A picture of a messy mix of lines and symbols. The faint energy felt in it made him feel that the map was authentic.

"Heh heh. It's the tomb of Immortal Medicine, right? I heard heaven bless the good man. It's really worth living a good life."

Somehow, He felt like someone was pointing fingers at him while swearing in the far sky, but that's fine.

- Please just shut up! You didn't even have alchemy but you made people suffer like this! (The raw 거, 가만히 좀 있으쇼! 연단법도 안 챙겨 놔서 사람이 이 고생을 하게 만들어 놓고는!)

Chung Myung smiled and looked at the map again.

Symbols and faint lines he has never seen in his life.

"I have to interpret this to be eligible to enter the grave, right?"

‘Hahahaha.’

‘Such a cute thing.’

Looking at the map, perhaps Immortal Medicine was a man full of pride in what he had achieved. Otherwise, he would not have left such an elaborate map.

The confidence to things in his tomb and made such elaborate map to fend off someone who interested to it. He is truly a man of high pride.

"Well, that's not so wrong."

Since Chung Myung is already interested.

Chung Myung grinned at the map.

"You mean this is a code?"

It would have been made so that it could never be solved by anyone.

But who is Chung Myung?

"Huhuhuh."

It's embarrassing to say it himself, but Chung Myung was called one of the greatest scholar in the history of Mount Hua, even when Mount Hua still took a place in the Ten Great Sect and were doing well. (it is not actually says scholar. Mtl say all time entry but I can’t pinpoint which word that is.)

There's no way that Chung Myung can't even solve a map like this.

Chung Myung glared at the map with his eyes wide open. If I arrange these few of line...….

Chung Myung, who had been staring at such faint lines for a long time, finally put down the map with a pleased expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

‘Greatest scholar bullshit.’

‘I'm a genius when it comes to pulling people's hair out. When would I have done this?’

"Right."

He looked through the map a few times again with frustrated eyes and eventually shook his head.

"This is too much."

Just looking at it hurt his eyes and made his head cramped. If it's a sword, he can look into it all day, but it has nothing to do with a sword's trajectory.

Chung Myung, who was slightly contemplating, nods his head.

"I don't have to solve this!"

Because he has reliable(?) Sasuk and the most intelligent(?) Sahyung!

"Anyway!"

Soon, Wudang will come with their disciples from the main sect.

Knowing that Mu Jin was defeated by Chung Myung and the map was stolen, it is clear that the elders of Wudang would surely flock to them with their eyes overturned.

No matter how strong Chung Myung is, it's too much to deal with them all. In the past, if it were Plum Blossom Sword Saint, he would have beaten 10 of Wudang’s disciples at the same time, but now he has not recovered his past power.

'Maybe three days at most?'

By then, the main force of Wudang will flock from the main sect. At least before then, he have to find out where the Geomchang is and enter it before Wudang.

"We're running out of time!"

Chung Myung began to run with determined eyes.

If they can get their hands on the recipe for the Honwondan, Mount Hua can once again move forward. Gaining strength means acquiring one more essential element necessary to leap to the world's best.

"Let me eat it first!"

Chung Myung move forward, quietly rubbing his Dantian, which was still a failure.
