Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 172. You're supposed to get out of the way if you get hit! (2)

The work on Chaos Origin Pill went very quickly.

First of all, it will be entirely up to Eunha Merchant Guild to collect materials needed for the Chaos Origin Pill. This is because there is a belief that Eunha Merchant Guild will not spread information anywhere else, and that they will handle Mount Hua things secretly as requested.

Thanks to this, Master Hwang Jong, who was in Huayin, was urgently summoned to Mount Hua.

"You mean all of this?"

Ordinary people just went to Sword Tomb to get Divine Weapon, so they don't know the existence of Chaos Origin Pill itself, but he doesn't know what will happen if they know about this in Beggar Union and Wudang.

So it's right to hide it as much as possible.

"Do you want me to get these for you?"

"Yes, and I have one more favor to ask of you."

"What favor is it?"

Hyun Young opened his mouth in a slightly subdued tone.

"I don't want the word that we're looking for these items to slip out."

"Huh? Why……?"

Hyun Young slightly put saliva on his mouth.

"Isn't Murim a ruthless place? Now, Mount Hua is attracting the attention of many sects. We had already a big affair with Southern Edge Sect, and this time we had a little trouble with Wudang."

"That's right."

Hwang Jong nodded coolly.

That is absolutely correct. Mount Hua's reputation, which rose to prominence by humiliating Southern Edge Sect at the Conference, proved its value once again in this trip to Namyung.

Of course, the fact that Mount Hua's disciples won a perfect victory over Wudang's disciples...….

"May... may I ask you a question?"

“Feel free to say it."

"I was wondering if it was true that Mount Hua's disciples was involved in Sword Tomb...…."

"It's not true."

"Ah...!"

Hwang Jong's head nodded furiously.

'Then I certainly understand.'

Rumors of Mount Hua's performance in Namyung have already begun to spread to Huayin.

Rumors that Mount Hua's disciples saved Murim people from a crisis in which Sword Tomb was collapsing. And there are rumors that they defeated many famous people.

In particular, the name that is spreading tremendously was the name of the Mount Hua Divine Dragon Chung Myung.

Chung Myung, who earned the title of the leading world's rising star for his performance at the Conference, was slowly moving away from the attention of the public due to his silence for the past two years.

However, his reputation was growing again with his performance in Namyung.

'It would be an exaggerated rumor to say that he was equal with the elders of Wudang, but it must mean that he showed enough dignity to spread those words.'

Then he can understand why Hyun Young wants to pursue all of this carefully. How much stronger would it be if Mount Hua, who is already building up his reputation with a formidable momentum, was to rebuild the Jasodan? (I’m pretty sure Jasodan is of Wudang but I’ll stick with raw for now. Just take Jasodan as powerful Elixir/pills.)

Whether it's a sect that thinks well of Mount Hua or a sect that doesn't like them, it's hard not to be nervous.

"Don't worry, Elder. The most important thing for a merchant is good faith, but I've learned that understanding the wishes of customers is just as important."

"Hahaha, that's why I trust Master Hwang isn’t."

"By the way..."

"Yes?"

Hwang Jong spoke with a slight concern..

"This will cost quite a fortune to get all of these items……."

As Hwang Jong is well aware of Mount Hua's financial condition, he has no choice but to question this.

But Hyun Young's reaction was completely different from his expectations.

"Oh, the money...Hehehe!"

Hwang Jong, startled and looked up. Hyun Young, who had recovered his complexion, turned his head and avoided the gaze.

‘Did I hear it wrong... ?’

Hwang Jong asked again, tilting his head.

"Uh, so the money...…?"

"Money. Yes, don't worry about the money. I’ll pay now...Haha! I'll pay for it …!'

Hwang Jong's face went blank.

‘Prepaid?’

‘You're gonna pay in advance for this huge sum of money?’

"Oh, no. Where did you get all that wealth?"

"Mount Hua's wealth is much more than little master knows...…hahaha. it's far superior."

Hyun Young suppressed the laughter from bursting out of his mouth.

‘What's wrong with money when we have God of Wealth? LOL!’ (I wouldn’t erase this lol hahaha. It is from mtl and I say they have good humor.)

He tried to save face as much as he can, but he can't stop the joy of rising. The corners of his mouth kept twitching and a frivolous laugh leaked out.

"Here you go."

Hyun Young sneaked out a box next to Hwang Jong. Hwang Jong received the box and tilted his head again.

"What is this?"

"Open it."

Hwang Jong opened the box carefully. It was not long before a brilliant light came out of it.

"This! This?!"

Hwang Jong's eyes were torn open.

"Isn't this Luminous Pearl?"

"Yes, it is."

Hwang Jong, who was speechless for a while, soon opened his mouth.

"No. How can you obtain so many Luminous Pearl...…."

It's Luminous Pearl that each one is treated more expensive than a jewel of the same size. But he can't believe there are so many rare things like that in here.

Hwang Jong, who has seen a great deal of wealth, has never seen such a large amount of Luminous Pearl.

‘And each and every one of them is of the highest rank, is it?’

Hyun Young smiled as he looked at his reaction.

"I think Sodanju will know the value of the product. Please give me a reasonable price. Would that be enough?"

Hwang Jong's body flinched.

Instinct as a merchant and morality as a merchant collided within him.

‘I must not pry!'

Hwang Jong bit his lip slightly and quickly finished calculating.

"That's too much, Elder. I'll have to do a detailed appraisal first, but even with this half, I could buy all the items you mentioned and leave some alone."

"Is that so?"

Hyun Young has a subtle smile.

He already knows the value of this Luminous Pearl. He just wanted to hear what Hwang Jong had to say.

'I can still count on him.'

Hwang Jong's calculations were not much different from Hyun Young's. No, Hyun Young thinks he played more generously than expected.

"Then please dispose of all these Luminous Pearl, pay for them, and return what is left to Mount Hua."

“Are you saying that you are entrusting me with such a big task?”

"Hahaha, Mount Hua Eunha Merchant Guild are like brothers. If we don't believe in Eunha Merchant Guild, where do we believe?"

Hyun Young and Hwang Jong exchanged their eyes.

They may think differently behind each other, but their superficial gaze was full of trust in each other.

"Then the fee is……?"

"With conscience."

"……."

"Conscience! With conscience !"

That's a real burglar.

"……then I will. As soon as the detailed evaluation is completed, I will send notification. And as soon as the disposal is completed, we will send the wealth to Mount Hua. So, in cash or in a slip?

"Money would be good."

"Yes, Elder!"

Hwang Jong quickly picked up the box and stuck it in his side.

"Then I'll try to assess this as soon as possible and find out the market."

"Huh, you're leaving without having a cup of tea."

"If they dilly-dallying for wealth, it's not a merchant! We will give you good news as soon as possible."

"Don't forget what I asked you to do."

"It will never leak out. Of course, the public will never know the origin of this Luminous Pearl."

It was Hwang Jong who quickly understood Hyun Young's intentions.

"Then see you later."

"Have a good night."

As Hwang Jong rushed outside, Hyun Young covered his mouth slightly.

His shoulders trembled slightly.

"Pfft!"

An unbearable laugh bursts out.

"Hahahaha!"

The shoulder dance comes out of nowhere.

"Hahaha! Thanks to that lucky fellow, I'm doing what I've dreamed of!"

It was Hyun Young's lifelong dream to hand over a large sum of money to a merchant who came to Mount Hua and buy the items he wanted.

But even that dream came true on a larger scale than he had imagined.

"Oh, you pretty thing! I really should have caught a dragon and fed him."

He can't get a dragon, so he'll have to be content with a cow.

A happy smile spread around Hyun Young's mouth.

Soon, Hyun Young's eyes, which were overflowing with joy, became a little serious.

'Mount Hua will spread his wings again with this.'

What Mount Hua lacks most now was strength no matter what anyone says.

Martial arts has quenched its thirst by regaining Seven  Plum Sword, but strength builds up with time. Talent and training alone cannot keep up with the gap in internal strength.

For Mount Hua, who centered on third and second-class disciples, the vast internal strength of other sect’s masters was the most troublesome issue.

However, if they can manufacture Chaos Origin Pill and feed it to the disciple, they will be able to solve the problem to some extent, if not completely.

That would enable Mount Hua to leap forward once again.

Hyun Young, who jumped out of his seat, headed to Sect Leader's residence. He was about to report on what happened earlier.

"Is Sect Leader there?"

Entering the door without waiting for an answer, Hyun Young suddenly flinched and stopped.

"Huh? You're here?"

"……."

"……."

Hyun Jong slipped down the towel in his hand. In front of him, there was a box of Chaos Origin Pill that glistened and polished.

"……are you happy?"

"Hmmm."

Hyun Young smiles unconsciously.

This is Hyun Jong, who was always in front of the disciple and unabling him to show his sadness or happiness. But how good would he be to wipe that box away?

"Hide it somewhere safe! What if we lose it?"

"Isn't my arms the safest place in Mount Hua?"

"……shouldn’t that be in Chung Myung's arms then?"

Hyun Jong closed his mouth.

Now that he thinks about it, it seems so.

."Anyway, it worked out well with Sodanju. I think I can get the goods faster than I thought."

"Oh, really? Hahahaha. I hope everything goes as smoothly as it does now. Hahahaha."

Tears seeped up around Hyun Jong and Hyun Young's eyes while smiling at each other.

It is a sight that was unimaginable just a few years ago. At that time, they had no choice but to say things that they didn't want to hear when sat face to face. They never dreamed that there would be a day when they would look at each other and burst into laughter like now.

In just a few years, their situation changed like this.

"What a strange fellow."

"It's Tao."

Hyun Young's face turned pale.

"Where is such Tao?"

"Hahaha, don't just look at the outside. Just because you follow the righteous path seriously doesn't mean that Tao will come. Sometimes just keeping one natural temper can bring the Tao to you."

"Don't talk nonsense! What are you going to give him this time?"

"Uh...Uh?"

"A prize! A prize! Does it make sense that you won't give a prize to someone who's done something this big? Cows must be fed to work! If you give him a big prize, he'll go out and earn some again!"

"……."

"The last time I fizzled out, I remember clearly. This time we can't let it slide!"

Hyun Jong looked at Hyun Young with a little hesitant eye.

"I'm not complaining, I'm just asking because I'm curious, but whose side are you on? Is it me? Is it that kid?"

"What kind of question do you ask? Of course! I'm in a bad mood, Sect Leader Sahyung!"

In response to Hyun Young's intense response, Hyun Jong reflected on himself with a slightly softened face.

"……I'm sorry. I've gone too far. The years we've been together.…."

"Of course, Chung Myung! It's that kid! To put it bluntly, what has Sect Leader done for me?"

"……."

;Oh, it's that way?;

"I've been appointed as an elder in charge of finance, and I haven't been able to get married like this, and I'm getting old! How could Sect Leader discuss sides? I couldn't get married, so I couldn't have a daughter. I can’t even take Chung Myung as my son-in-law!"

"Oh, no. You have to think about your age. If it's your daughter, then..."

"Then there must be a granddaughter!"

Hyun Young shouted and pointed his finger at him.

"Anyways, I can't let it slide this time! Make sure you know what kind of prize you're going to get! Isn't Chaos Origin Pill originally Chung Myung's? Why does Sect Leader hold it like it's his own! Let's give him a pill first! And then...!"

Bam!

Hyun Sang, who burst in after hearing the sound, pulled Hyun Young out quickly.

"What! Why again!? Let go of me! Think carefully about what I'm saying! Sect Leader! If you just let it slide, I'll...…! Eup! Eup Eup!"

Bam!

The wind blew by the rough closing of the door lifted Hyun Jong's hair slightly.

"Ha……Haha."

Hyun Jong burst out laughing blankly.

"It's a good thing. Ah, it's a good thing."

‘But strangely enough, I think my authority has disappeared a lot these days...….’

‘I guess it's just my imagination, right?’
