Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 174. You're supposed to get out of the way if you get hit! (4)

 

"No, there's nothing in the world that can't be done! If it doesn't work, I'll make it work!"

Hwang Munyak looked very embarrassed as Chung Myung shouted.

It may have been unpleasant for him if others had said this, but it is Chung Myung. Hwang Munyak received too much from him.

"Sodojang, just calm down."



"How could I...…!"

"Enough."

When Hyun Jong ordered, Baek Chun and Yoon Jong quickly grabbed Chung Myung and shut him.

"Eupp."

Chung Myung makes a groaning sound.

Hyun Jong glances at Hwang Munyak and asks.

"Is it because of the Ice Crystals?”

There was concern mixed in his voice.

Ice Crystals from the deepest rough lands of the North Sea were the most scarce and rare items needed to make Chaos Origin Pill. Even under the supervision of the North Sea Ice Palace, having money does not mean someone can easily get their hands on it.

Hwang Munyak had a wry smile.

"It is true that it is extremely difficult to obtain Ice Crystals, but with the ability of Eunha Merchant Guild, we can get it as much as you want."

“Then?"

"The items we can't get are not Ice Crystals. It's called ‘Jamokcho.’ (Purple Wood/Tree Grass or 紫木草)"

"Hm?"

Hyun Jong tilted his head.

Obviously, he asked them to get them some Jamokcho, but it didn't seem like a big deal, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Is it such a precious thing? Is it too expensive?"

"Not at all. Of course, it is a rare item that can only be found in certain places, but it cannot be called a medicinal herb because its efficacy is not great."

"But why?"

Hwang Munyak sighed deeply.

"I suppose Sect Leader knows about the Five Palace."

"Of course."

Five Great Clan (Saewoegung or Five Palaces Outside the Great Wall or
塞外五宮).

Five clans on the border of Jungwon (Mtl literally said midfield or central district which refer to China. Maybe Central Plains sound familiar to you all).

It is a force that is specially grouped because each of them has a power comparable to that of Ten Great Sect in the Jungwon.

Namhae Sun Clan
(南海太陽宮). North Sea Ice Clan (北海氷宮). Podalab Clan (布達拉宮). Namman Yasugung Clan (南蠻野獸宮). Mara Blood Clan (魔羅血宮). (Sorry, too small brain I have.)

These five clans are called Five Great Clan.

“The problem is, among the five palaces, Namman Yasugung Clan.”

Hyun Jong blinked his eyes.

What's wrong with the Namman Yasugung Clan?

As if to understand the question, Hwang Munyak immediately began to explain.

"This grass is native to the deep valley of Yunnan. It wasn't hard to get in the past. There was a hassle of going directly to Yunnan because there were no merchants in particular, but that was all. But now, the road to Yunnan is completely blocked."

"……I can't believe the road is blocked. What have happened?"

"Namman Yasugung Clan, which I mentioned earlier, is blocking the road. Precisely, not only the way to the native land of Jamokcho, but also prevented anyone from Jungwon passing through their territory."

"No, does it make sense to say that one clan is blocking the way?"

Hwang Munyak had a wry smile.

"Namman is a place where our common sense does not prevail. Mufas and armed groups there occupy an area and reign like kings. The power of the country cannot control them."

Hyun Jong frowned.

It's not that it doesn't make sense. In the first place, the Podalab Clan and the North Sea Ice Clan are ruling almost like the royal families in each region.

It is no wonder that Namman Yasugung Clan is the same.

"Why are they blocking the road?"

"The relationship between Namman Yasugung Clan and Jungwon has deteriorated rapidly since the past Magyo bloodbath. When Magyo first started sweeping over Five Great Clan, they asked for help from Jungwon, but Jungwon did not give them any help. That's why they don't have power on anyone from Jungwon to waste."

"Tsk."

Chung Myung, who was listening quietly, clicked his tongue slightly.

'Then they saw the dog blood later.'

Because there were no people left to help when Magyo cleaned up the south and moved north.

"Thanks to that, after the Magyo was cleared, Namman Yasugung Clan completely cut off exchanges with the Jungwon people. And now we are not even allowed to access."

Hwang Munyak sighed.

"Thanks to this, the damage to our guild is great. Yunnan's tea is also the most famous in Jungwon. This product was one of the biggest sources of income for merchants in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but the trade route with Yunnan was blocked, so it was inevitable to suffer huge losses."

"In other words……."

Baek Chun summarized the situation.

"You mean the merchant isn’t strong enough and so they give up on this."

"Yes, it is."

Hyun Jong's face has hardened.

"Sect Leader, I can get you all the other items. But there's nothing we can do about it with our own strength. I'm sorry."

"Raise your head, Sangdanju. How can it be Sangdanju's fault?"

While gently consoling Hwang Munyak, Hyun Jong's face did not know how to straighten. He thought Mount Hua had found a way to become stronger, but they got caught in an unexpected reef.

"Medicine Elder." (I accept suggestion for cooler term aha. Also, mtl says drug dealer. I’m not with him, spare me.)

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Ungak, The head of Medicine Hall immediately bowed his head.

"How is it? Even if there is no Jamokcho...…. Can you manufacture it?"

"Sect Leader..."

Ungak swallowed dry saliva and sighed.

"Pill refinement is not just made by a mixture of ingredients. When all the ingredients are perfectly mixed and specialized in the refinement, a synergistic action occurs. It's hard to expect a tenth of the potency that should come out unless not even a single ingredient is missing or the exact amount is added."

"Hmm."

"It would be better to eat raw ingredients than to prepare a defective pill. We can't make it without Jamokcho."

Everyone's face turned dark.

It was then.

"So...."

A dreary voice echoed through the room as if it had been heard from hell.

Of course, the voice's owner was Chung Myung.

"Those Namman Yasugung Clan bastards aren't giving out my soul... no! They're not giving out the ingredients to make my pill?"

"……."

Chung Myung's face heated up as if it were about to explode.

"These bastards are going to die!"

"Suppress him!"

"Yes!"

When Chung Myung was about to have a seizure, the people around him rushed in and suppressed Chung Myung.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! These bastards are crazy about it! It's nothing big but they're arguing that they won't give out pieces of grass?"

"Ca- Calm down. There are so many people blocking the way. What can we do?"

"Block? Block the road? You're supposed to get out of the way if you get beaten! Let's see if they are trying to block the road even if their head is broken!"

Chung Myung rolls his eyes.

"Eurachaaaaa!"

Chung Myung blew up those holding him down and jumped up from the ground!

Hyun Jong flinched when he saw his burning eyes.

"Sect Leader!"

"……Ah, what."

‘What else are you going to do!’

"I'm going to Yunnan!"

"……."

"I'm going to break them all and bring back some grass."

Baek Chun and Yoon Jong panicked and grabbed Chung Myung.

"Hey, it's Namman Yasugung Clan! It's one of Five Great Clans!"

"If you argue with a place like that, even ten necks are not enough!"

But Chung Myung was as calm as a cucumber.

"Why would I worry about my neck? They should be worried about theirs!"

"……."

‘’Wow, that is subtly convincing. This makes sense.’’

At that time, Jo-Gol, who was still watching the situation, opened his mouth softly.

"Guild Master."

"Hmm?"

"If Yunnan prohibits the entry of Jungwon people, is it possible to hire people from other regions? Like westerners (Remember, Jungwon is Central Plain). Can’t people who are not Jungwon people be brought into Yunnan?”

"Oh?"

Hwang Munyak opened his eyes wide.

"Wow... that's smart. As expected of our Jo-Gol."

"I told you that Sahyung is very clever once in a while."

"……."

Jo-Gol wanted to ask back if they were too thoughtless, but for now, he closed his mouth tightly.

Then Hwang Munyak shook his head with a heavy face.

"We've tried that before…… all failed. Westerners trading in Yunnan takes a vow not to take these items to Jungwon. It's not that there aren't any people who sell those, but they won't do it easily because they'll lose their necks if they get caught wrong."

"……I see."

"Moreover."

Hwang Munyak sighs deeply.

"Especially, this Jamokcho is located deep in Yunnan, right next to the territory of Namman Yasugung Clan. This is a place where even Westerners are prohibited from entering, so we can't get our hands on it. Even Yunnan people who don't belong to Namman Yasugung Clan are not allowed to enter this place."

Jo-Gol lowered his head slightly as if he understood.

Hwang Munyak's eyes are warmly looking at him.

‘He's a man of a merchant.'

And there was a spiteful fellow here, not a commercial one.

"Then we’ve come to a conclusion!"

Chung Myung gritted his teeth.

"I'm going to run to Yunnan and ask them to give me Jamokcho!"

"……it's Namman Yasugung Clan."

"Well, I'm Mount Hua!"

"……."

Watching Chung Myung stretch out his belly, Hyun Jong's mind was filled with various emotions.

He is proud to see that Chung Myung is so proud of their culture, and he is embarrassed because they don't have any countermeasures.

But there was already a conclusion.

‘We must get Jamokcho.'

It is impossible to just watch when don't have any ingredients even though you have the refinement method of a rare elixir called Chaos Origin Pill. This was something that had to be accomplished, even with the full force of Mount Hua.

Hyun Jong, who made up his mind, looked at Chung Myung.

"Chung Myung-ah."

"Yes, sir!"

"Can you do it?"

Hyun Jong's face couldn't be more serious.

"This is an absolutely dangerous thing to do. But it is also necessary. So I want to ask you. Will you be able to come back safely without getting hurt?"

Chung Myung rolled up the corners of his mouth.

"Sect Leader."

"Yes."

"I'm Chung Myung."

"……."

Hyun Jong's eyes trembled.

As soon as he hears that, his heart is full of trust.

‘Yeah, that's Chung Myung.'

If he doesn't trust Chung Myung in Mount Hua, who does he trust? This is the child who leads this Mount Hua. Of course, he can trust...….

"Don't worry! I'll break their heads and come back with Jamokcho! They have to at least do something that makes sense! Did we ask for gold or a throne? We are gonna take a little grass at the most, but they gonna stop me? Just try! I'm gonna stick those grass in their mouth and set it on fire!"

"……."

‘Trust my ass...….’

How could something like that come out of the sect?

Hyun Jong, who calmed down his trembling face, turned his head hard.

"Hyun Young."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Get the children ready as soon as possible."

"Sect Leader?"

Hyun Young's eyes shook slightly. But Hyun Jong spoke firmly.

"I will send Chung Myung to Yunnan."

"Yes, sir!"

Then he looked at Chung Myung and said.

"You have to succeed."

"Don't worry! I'm going to bring whole Jamokcho!"

"……."

It was Hyun Jong who felt sorry for the people of Yunnan.

"Kuhuhuh!"

At that time, Hyun Young, who was still in his seat, slightly gave Hyun Jong a hint. Hyun Jong, who noticed the glance, stood from his seat.

"Well then, I'll take a moment."

Hyun Young and Hyun Jong quickly left the room and goes as far away from the hall as possible. Hyun Jong opened his mouth first.

"What is it?"

Hyun Young said with a slight frown.

"Are you willing to send only the children to dangerous places?"

"I know it would be nice to have at least one person in charge. But you know, when they're alone...…."

"It’s not like that."

"……Huh?"

Hyun Young opened his mouth with a look of disapproval.

"If you're sending the children to such a dangerous place, shouldn't there be a countermeasure! Let's feed them that."

"That?"

"Chaos Origin Pill! That Chaos Origin Pill!"

"……."

Hyun Jong flinched.

"Oh, no. There's no guarantee that we're going to get Jamokcho, so we're have to save this...…."

"Sect Leader, when did you become such a thief?"

"Thi- Thief?"

"Is that how Mount Hua is? Chung Myung got it himself, so isn't Chung Myung's? It’s belong to them! Why are you trying to save it now? What if the kids get hurt?"

Hyun Young's eyes are on fire.

If children are injured, they are likely to pull out Hyun Jong's head.

"Feed the children. Chaos Origin Pill."

"……."

"Now!"

"……."

"Right now!"

‘Oh, I got it.’

‘We can feed them. If I feed you!’
