Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 171. You're supposed to get out of the way if you get hit! (1)

"It was Immortal Medicine who built Sword Tomb."

After hearing all the explanations from Baek Chun, Hyun Jong looked at the box in front of him with a face that clearly showed surprise.

‘I can't believe it's Chaos Origin Pill.'

There is no doubt.

If it's not Immortal Medicine, there is no one who would do it, and if it is not Chung Myung, there is no one who could find it.

By the way.

Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung with renewed eyes.

‘You on equal footing with Wudang's Heo Sanja?'

It may be a bit of an exaggeration.

However, it was clear that he did not lose in a match against Heo Sanja.

"Hahaha."

He can't stop laughing.

Will Hyun Jong be able to fight on equal footing with an elder of Wudang?

They are absurdly strong.

However, it was not only Chung Myung's strength that surprised Hyun Jong.

The power of Chung Myung was actually nothing new, it's been a long time since Hyun Jong gave up on understanding.

The real reason he was surprised was Chung Myung's heart, who fully grasped Immortal Medicine's arrangement and found Immortal Medicine's tomb.

Even Hyun Jong could only understand why Immortal Medicine's tomb was there after hearing the explanation a couple of times. But doesn't it mean that Chung Myung alone figured out the clues and found Immortal Medicine's tomb?

‘I've thought he was very smart since Eunha Merchant Guild incident in the past, but...….'

He didn't expect it to be this much.

At that time, Hyun Young, who peeked at the box containing Chaos Origin Pill, opens his mouth.

"Well, then...…."

Hyun Young took the box from Hyun Jong's hand as if stealing it. Hyun Jong, whose hands are empty, smacked his lips in regret, but he just closes his mouth because he fully guessed Hyun-young's mind.

"Well, then, this is Immortal Medicine’s Chaos...… What? Chaos Origin Pill?

"...yes."

"That Chaos Origin Pill that said to be several more potent than Great Rejunevation Pill?"

"...yes."

Hyun Young looks at Chung Myung with blank eyes.

The face of Hyun Young, which clenched his lips, changed several times in that short time.

"Re- Really? You seriously brought back this? Just how? How can a person who looks like this always brought back something when goes outside?"

‘I can't believe you brought it!’

‘You’re not even a dog!’

"Huh, huh……Don't you want to go out again?"

"……."

"No, no! Not that! You have done such a great job and I’m not trying chase them away when they do not have enough meals for three days! Let's go! I'll get you a pig! No, I'll catch conch for you! What can't we do to the guy who brings back Chaos Origin Pill!"

Unam broke out in a cold sweat.

"Calm down, Elder!"

"How can I? Oh, my god. Chaos Origin Pill! What the hell is he? We sent him to Namyung, and he brought Chaos Origin Pill! If we send him to the North Sea, he might even bring us magic pearl! Sect Leader! Do we have anything else to do outside?" (I’ll leave it as North Sea as I can’t pinpoint which word it is. The raw is 북해에 보내면 여의주라도 물어 오겠네!)

His eyes seemed as if he would tie Chung Myung tightly and send him to the North Sea right away. Feeling the intention in his eyes, Chung Myung flinched unconsciously.

"Huh, Chaos Origin Pill."

Hyun Sang also looked at the box and Chung Myung alternately as if he couldn't believe it.

How can it not be surprising?

Chaos Origin Pill and Sword Tomb were something they had ever thought of.  Who knew I'd come back after all this? Who would have known that he would come back after such a tremendous act when they just sent him to solve the problem of Huayin Sect?

"You've been through a lot."

"No, it was a matter of course for me to do as a disciple of Great Mount Hua."

"But!"

At that moment, Hyun Sang rebuked Baek Chun with a slightly subdued voice.

"I'm glad nothing happened. This time you were too rash."

Baek Chun bowed his head silently.

"Now, you have got Chaos Origin Pill, found the refinement method, I won't deny that you have done great. But if even one person had been devastated in the meantime, you wouldn't be smiling as you are now."

Baek Chun nodded.

Hyun Sang is right. Didn't he overcome a few crises of death in Sword Tomb? Getting out of there safely was half a coincidence.

"This disciple will engrave it in mind."

"Yes, don't think it's nagging. Your safety is several times more important to me than such an elixir."

Then Hyun Young, who was listening, snorted.

"If Sahyung says so, what will become of me and Sect Leader?"

Hyun Jong opens his eyes wide.

‘No, why me?’

‘Why are you dragging me in when I'm just being quiet?’

"Ei, first of all, calm down, Sajil."

Hyun Young flaps his lips as if he has something more to say. In the end, however, he shut up as if he respected the authority of Sect Leader.

Hyun Jong slowly opened the Chaos Origin box he was holding. Hyun Young's hands are tense. When Hyun Jong glares slightly, he turns the box over with a face full of regret.

"Kuhum."

Hyun Jong let out a low cough and secretly put the box behind him. A rich guy might sell this out of the blue.

"Baek Chun-ah."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Is there anyone else who knows that you've got your hands on this?"

"I didn't let anyone know."

"Even Huayin Sect?"

"Yes, Sect Leader. I didn't tell anyone."

Hyun Jong nodded.

"Well done."

Treasures call for blood.

If it is known that Chaos Origin Pill has been obtained, a number of people will try to target Mount Hua. There may even be people who raid and try to get their hands on the refinement method before Mount Hua could manufacture it.

‘The good thing is that not many people know about Immortal Medicine.'

Most of the people gathered there were only interested in Divine Weapon. Only two people knew about Immortal Medicine.

‘Beggar Union and Wudang.’

Just because the two sects belonging to Ten Great Sect knew about the existence of Chaos Origin Pill, they would not attack Mount Hua out of the blue, but they might still interfere.

Since Hyun Jong knew that he had not been helped by any of the Ten Great Sect he believed in at the time of the collapse of Mount Hua, his faith in them was falling apart.

‘But they also don't know yet that we have gotten Chaos Origin Pill. There will be no problem as long as we are careful about the leakage of information.'

The fact that Mount Hua is in a rugged mountain was very helpful in this case. If it was Wudang or Shaolin, where guests constantly come and go, it would have been hard to hide the refinement method of Chaos Origin Pill.

Hyun Jong opened the box and took out the parchment.

It's not Chaos Origin Pill that's really important, it's this.

"Well, our ancestors must have helped you."

Chung Myung laughed at the words.

It wasn't that he was ridiculing Hyun Jong. This time, it is as good as "ancestor" has helped. If Chung Myung hadn't seen what happened with Chun Mun in his dream, he wouldn't have found Immortal Medicine's grave.

"Hmm, but!"

Yes?

Under Chung Myung's mysterious gaze, Hyun Jong gently puts down the box containing the Chaos Origin Pill in front of him.

“Listening to you, it seems that Immortal Medicine wanted someone to be his predecessor and continue his legacy, but I wonder if it really makes sense for us to use this...…."

Chung Myung picked up the Chaos Origin Pill box.

"Then, I'll be right back after I sell it."

"Hey, hey, hey! You have to listen to what people say to the end!"

Surprised, Hyun Jong quickly changed his words.

"Though I do think so! If Mount Hua resurrects Chaos Origin Pill and does they duty as Taoist Sect, Immortal Medicine will be pleased in the Nirvana!"

‘I think he's going to be cursing.’

If there is such a thing as Nirvana, and the good men are gathered there and looking down at the world, perhaps Immortal Medicine is constantly spouting a curse at Mount Hua by now.

Well, of course, Chung Myung's Sahyung would then have kept him quiet.

‘Chun Mun Sahyung! Don't let us be humiliated!’

Hyun Jong closed his eyes as if to organize his thoughts. Chung Myung did not urge this time either. Suddenly, the secret and Chaos Origin Pill itself has fallen into their hand, so sect leader will not be able to express the confusion in words.

"First of all, let's check it out."

Finally, Hyun Jong spoke heavily toward Unam.

"Bring the drugstore master with you."

* * *

Sararak.

The bookshelf goes over.

The head of the pharmaceutical department confirmed Chaos Origin Pill refinement method as he sweated cold. Among those in Mount Hua, Ungak is the most versed in alchemy (Pill refinement). That is why he has no choice but to confirm it himself.

"Ugh."

Whenever a groan came out of Ungak's mouth, the viewers' hearts burned.

"Hey! It sure takes a hell of a long time to read a book!"

When Hyun Young gets angry, Hyun Sang blames using his stare. Hyun Young mumbled and lowered his voice with a disapproving face.

Of course, the atmosphere was crazy.

He was surprised because he was suddenly called in and askedto read a book, but while checking the book, elders, the Un, second-class disciple, and even third-class disciple are staring only at his side with blazing eyes.

Even if Confucius returns, he will not be able to concentrate and read books in this situation.

However, even Hyun Jong, who is supposed to solve this situation, is looking at him with a look that would break through an iron plate, so what can he do?

"Se- Sect Leader."

"Then? How do you think?"

"Well, I think this is definitely Chaos Origin Pill refinement method. The rationale of the method makes sense. There is some high-level method that I can't even imagine but...…."

"But?"

Ungak gulped down his dry saliva and said.

"Even if you don't understand it, it is described that you can make Chaos Origin Pill if you faithfully follow the refinement method shown here!"

"Oh!"

Hyun Jong looked at Ungak with his eyes full of joy.

What does that mean?

"You can make it then?"

He replied with a big smile as if it was natural.

"That's too much.”

"……."

Finally, blood vessels appear on Hyun Young's forehead.

"No, he's not playing people right now!"

"Ca- Calm down, Sasuk! No, Elder."

Ungak said, sweating profusely.

"It's not hard to make Chaos Origin Pill with my ability. With this method, anyone who knows alchemy (Pill/elixir refinement) to some extent can create it."

"Then what's the matter? There's nothing you can't make if you have the ability!"

"Oh, no, it's...…."

Ungak breathed a deep sigh.

"……the materials for the pill are ridiculously expensive."

‘What?’

‘Money?’

Hyun Young's expression, which had been irritated, quickly regained calm.

It was Hyun Young who had no choice but to get serious when it comes to money.

"We're going to have to sell the entire Mount Hua if we're going to create a large number of Chaos Origin Pill. It won't be possible unless we utilize all the businesses in Huayin."

Hyun Young's face got distorted.

"What kind of pills are so expensive!"

"Wha, of course, it is expensive. Think about it. Even Shaolin, who is overflowing with money, can only make a few of Great Rejunevation Pill?”
"……."

"With this kind of material, we can make it very cheap for the best. It is because he was Immortal Medicine that he can make pills of these materials, and it's hard for others to spend just a ten of this."

Hyun Young sighed deeply.

"So. After all, you're saying you can't make it because we don't have money?"

"That's right."

"How expensive is that? Mount Hua is no longer short of money."

"It’s...."

Hyun Young's eyes, who had roughly priced the materials along with Ungak, began to tremble like aspen trees.

"Uh, how much? Uh...…."

Hyun Young, who was about to collapse with bubbles, points his finger at Hyun Jong and starts to stand up.

"Sect Leader! Get that damn method or treasure right now! That d*mn thing is going to ruin Mount Hua! The damn Immortal Medicine old man must have been senile! It's not a treasure, it's a poison! A poison!"

Hyun Jong looks at Hyun Young with a stunned face.

"Was it that difficult?"

"It's not just difficult! It's hard to make a single pill with Mount Hua's income. To make that one, we have to dispose of all the assets in Huayin, which is eating some Mount Hua! What use a beggar who's good at fighting ca have?"

Beggar Union would be disappointed to hear that.

Hyun Young opposed the idea while almost foaming.

"This can't be done! I was going to make a foundation for us, but the pillar roots of Mount Hua that I rebuilt will be pulled out! I can't allow it as an elder in charge of finance."

"I see."

Hyun Jong made a groaning sound.

And because of money, another chance for Mount Hua to leap is...….

Chung Myung, who was listening at the time, said calmly.

"Oh, that's fine."

"Huh?"

Chung Myung looks back on Hyun Young.

"Money is the problem, isn't it?"

"That's right?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"Then it's all right."

"……what the hell are you talking about?"

Receiving everyone's attention, Chung Myung grabbed his forearm. And he suddenly spreads his clothes left and right. Then something round poured out of his chest.

Hyun Young's eyes widened as if they were tearing after checking the things that fell on the floor.

“Hey, hey… Yamyeongju? All of this?”

Chung Myung smiles.

"Because we're rich."

"……."

Hyun Young, who was staring at Chung Myung in silence, muttered unconsciously.

"...Are you really God of Wealth (財神)?"

The more he knew, the less he understand Chung Myung.
