Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 241. I can't believe you're giving it so generously! (1)

A bomb was dropped on the Finance Hall.

"What are you talking about? I can't believe we have to build a merchant in Sichuan!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys are so..."

Hyun Young smiled pleasantly as he watched the scene.

"What's all this fuss about?"

"Gakju-nim, isn't this great? This has never happened since the sect was revived." (Hyun Young title, prob something like Finance Elder.)

"Yeah, there wasn't."

The corners of Hyun Young's mouth rolled up more and more. It was almost reaching his ears.

"Wasn't our Chung Myung not in Mount Hua back then?"

"……."

‘Our Chung Myung?’

‘I've never seen a footnote speak that way before.….’

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Indeed, no surprise. There will be more surprises in the future, so why are you making such a fuss already!"

Un Bang (운방(雲防)) couldn't say anything. Seeing Hyun Young's face, which looks so happy, he can't help but shut. Breaking that happiness is not the right thing to do as a disciple.

Creak!

At that time, the door to the Finance Hall opened and a disciple came in with a large basket.

“Gakju-nim! I've got them!"

"Oh!"

Hyun Young jumped up and ran, and snatched the basket.

When the cloth that covered the basket was lifted, the large flapping eel, ginseng, and the tied chicken head were seen.

"……what is that, Gakju-nim?"

"They must have been exhausted from going all the way to Yunnan, so why don't we feed them Yongbongtang?"

"There is no eel in Yongbongtang."

"What? Then why is it Yongbongtang?"

"……."

"……."

Un Bang cover his mouth with his hand and coughed low. Now, this isn't important.

"Oh, no, no, Even if Mount Hua is not forbidden to eat meat, it's still alive.…."

"It's okay. It's okay. It's a worthwhile death. They'll be happy, too."

‘Shouldn't we listen to the eel for that?’

‘Are you sure that's all right?’

Hyun Young, who easily ignored Un Bang's worries, murmured as if he was sorry.

"Unfortunately. Didn't the child come back with an anxious face? Mount Hua grows up when Chung Myung feeds and raises well."

"I heard they were full." (The raw is "빵빵하던데.")

"Ugh!"

"I wouldn't do that to my grandchildren."

"How dare you compare your grandson to Chung Myung!"

‘You don't even have an answer.’

"Anyway, you take care of these. I'm gonna go get these guys."

"Ju- Just us?"

"Of course!"

Hyun Young turned around without hesitation and headed to the kitchen with joy.

Un Bang, who looked at his back with a bewildered look, let out a small sigh and smiled quietly.

‘Isn’t that good?'

When he thinks of Hyun Young in the past, all he can remember is sighing.

It was Hyun Young's daily routine to sigh and sigh again after rummaging through the account all day. There was always a deep wrinkle between his forehead, and his eyes were sunken.

He is the man who was overwhelmed by the pressure to feed Mount Hua that might collapse at any time.

That was Hyun Young, whom Un Bang remembers.

Seeing the person happy and excited about something makes him feel better, not mentioning the work.

‘You've changed a lot.'

It seems that it has become a different sect in just two years. When have Hyun Young ever laughed so happily like that? (The raw is 당장 자신만 해도 언제 현영을 보며 이리 기분 좋게 웃은 적이 있었던가?)

"Tsk. That's why."

He know that Hyun Young favors Chung Myung. Even more than him who has served Hyun Young since he entered Mount Hua.

But he still doesn't have a dislike for Chung Myung because Un Bang know he's doing something for everyone in Mount Hua without a break.

"Bugakju-nim, what do we do?" (If Gakju is Finance Elder, then Bugakju is the vice leader in charge. Bu, I think that means vice leader. Like Buchaeju-nim.)

"Are we really on our own?"

Seeing the disciples asking in bewilderment, Un Bang narrowed his brow.

"Don't make a big deal out of it."

"But……."

"How can we make a big deal of it? Knowing what the Medicine Hall is like now."

"Oh……."

When the word Medicine Hall came out, the disciples nodded as if they were convinced. Then they looked at the Medicine Hall with pitiful eyes.

"Purple Ginseng (인형자삼(人形紫蔘) / Doll Purple Ginseng), three geun amount!" (Geun are measurement, according kakao one geun is 600 gram but it is not make sense so I will leave it as it is.)

“Three geun amount!"

The ginseng began to be cut off with a careful touch. It was a cautious touch as if it would not allow an inch of error.

"Three geun amount!"

"Get it!"

"Yes!"

The Medicine Hall member carefully grabbed the cut pieces and bring them away.

"Here it is."

Yakdang-ju Un Gak swallowed dry saliva and took the Purple Ginseng. And carefully placed it on the scale.

As soon as the scale slightly passed by three geun, Un Gak turned his eyes upside down.

"I'm telling you to cut three geun! This guy cut four pieces! Are your eyes a knothole!"

"N- No, that's not it."

"What the hell do you think this is about? Because of you, Chaos Origin Pill...…. No! Will you take responsibility for that if the pill is made wrong? You're so frustrating!"

Due to the anger that burst out like fire, the Medicine Hall worker quickly bowed down with a pale face.

"I have sinned to death!"

“Are you saying that a martial artist couldn’t measure even one thing properly?”

O- On my scale, it was definitely three geun!"

"What?"

Un Gak glared.

However, the voice from behind releases the force in his eyes.

“It looks like all the scales are too old to fit together.”

"Hm?"

Un Gak turned his head.

Tang So-so, dressed in Mount Hua’s robe, was looking at the scales.

"I think the problem is that the scales don't fit together, Yakdang-ju. I think we should use only one scale, or we should replace all the scales."

"Um. Is that so?"

"Yes, the most important thing is the ratio, and if there's an error with different scales, the ratio changes."

"Ummm. But using only one scale would take too much time."

The head of Medicine Hall turned his head.

"Go and buy a new scale in Huayin City right now! Now! The money will be paid by Finance Hall."

"Yes! That one scale..."

"What one! Change them all! Don't leave anything behind, all! Instead, you have to choose the exact same scale!"

"Yes!"

The Medicine Hall worker ran outside, frightened by Un Gak spirit that seemed could chew all the scales with his mouth.

Un Gak, the head of Medicine Hall, shouted with glaring eyes.

"Listen carefully, everyone."

"Yes!"

The Medicine Hall worker answered immediately with a nervous face.

Their foreheads were covered with sweat.

"Mount Hua's fate is at stake in this! If anyone neglects a little, I will throw him in confinement and face wall for three years! Do you understand?" (Mtl says Maehwa-dong but I can’t understand the context. The raw is 매화동에)

"Yes, Yakdang-ju!"

Un Gak lifted his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

'Ugh. It's not easy.'

Of course, the process of creating Chaos Origin Pill itself was not that difficult. The recipe explained it in such detail, and it does not require a special method, so they just have to match the amount and proportion well, and follow the recipe. (The raw is 약왕)

The problem was the pressure.

The pill is so delicate that even if the ratio changes by just one grain of rice, the effectiveness of the medicine decreases dramatically.

‘It's the Jamokcha that they went all the way to Yunnan and had a hard time getting. Not even a single failure will be tolerated!'

Un Gak sighed deeply.

'But I'm glad I have that kid.'

In fact, there is no method of manufacturing pills left on Mount Hua. In other words, it means that they have never been manufactured pill in nearly a hundred years.

Still, he learned about the theory of how to manufacture a pill while running Medicine Hall, but this is the first time he has tried to manufacture a pill with his own hands.

If Tang So-so hadn't come on time, he'd probably be going through countless trials and errors right now.

'Although we cannot disclose the entire recipe.'

Until the basic preparation process, it was very helpful to listen to Tang So-so's advice.

In any case, it's so much pressure just to manufacture the blend...… There is even another problem here.

"Hmm. Are you in there?"

"……."

The door of the Refinement Room opened, and Hyun Jong and Hyun Sang entered.

"I greet Sect Leader!"

The Medicine Hall worker all bowed down. Hyun Jong nodded with a nice smile.

"Yes, everyone must be busy, but I wonder if I should have come for nothing."

Un Gak looked at Hyun Jong with dim eyes.

‘Sect Leader.’

Today alone, this is the sixth time.

‘If he is going to do that, why doesn't he just put a chair and sit there? Why do you keep going back and forth?’

"Keheum. You're going through a lot. It's nothing but...…."

Hyun Jong, who seemed to be looking around, lowered his eyes slightly.

"I don't think everyone cares because they're busy.…. but isn't there too much dust on the floor?"

"…Yes?"

"I was wondering if foreign substances would intervene in the manufacturing of the pill. If you leave the windows wide open, the bugs that were passing by could come in."

"Oh….Yes."

"Hmm. And, um...…. If you lay out the ingredients over there, the weight will change due to the loss of moisture. I'm worried that it's going to make the medicine less effective...…."

Un Gak closed his mouth.

This is the sixth time today.

When he came to encourage them, he nagged them, so they cleaned up even when they was working, and they cleaned up again and again.

"Sect Leader……."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I'll... I'll take good care of it."

"Hmm! I'm not trying to violate Yakdang-ju authorithy. It's just because I'm old and have a lot of worries."

Looking at Hyun Jong speaking a little awkwardly, Un Gak eventually closed his eyes.

It's better to swear and beat.

He was so incredulous that he showed his head about ten times a day which almost made him go crazy.

"Well, then, Chao...…. No, how long do you think it'll take to completely produce the pill?" (They are actually calling it Jasodan. Idk, maybe because there is Tang So-so)

"Ten days."

"I- Is that so?"

Hyun Jong flinched.

With his face (The raw is 그가 얼굴로. I think there is something wrong with the raw.)

'No. Even now, my throat looks like it's falling out, but I'll have to wait ten more days?'

When he seemed about to say something, Un Gak couldn't hold back and breathed a deep sigh.

"Sect Leader. Most of the pills have forty-nine days of refinement followed by forty-nine days of drying and maturation. However, unlike other pills, it takes less time because the production is simple."

"R- Really?"

Hyun Jong's face brightened slightly.

"I need a master of qigong in the process of making the pill, so then, there will be a case where the master of qigong will personally check it. So for now, please...…. Please!"

"Well, I see. No, I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help...…."

"If that happens, I'll ask you to do it myself!"

"I- I see."

Looking around with an awkward face, Hyun Jong coughed loudly and turned away.

"Well then, work hard everyone."

"Go ahead, Sect Leader!"

Hyun Jong went out again with a sad face. When the door was closed, a member of the Medicine Hall opened his mouth with a very awkward face.

"He must have high expectations."

"Yes, I suppose so.…."

Come to think of it, how big is this? It is not incomprehensible that Hyun Jong is like that.

But understanding is understanding, obstruction is obstruction. There should be nothing bothering them when they have to achieve a great job.

"Be on your toes again. This job should never fail!"

"Yes, Yakdangju-nim!"

"For the sake of the future of Mount Hua, we can't afford to fail……."

Un Gak was a little vague at the end of the sentence.

"Think about it. Chung Myung went all the way to Yunnan to make this pill."

"Yes!"

"……But if we fail this, he has to go back to Yunnan."

"……."

The surrounding atmosphere cooled rapidly.

"Do you think he'll go quietly? That Chung Myung?"

"……no."

Chung Myung, who is running wild with his eyes overturned in the heads of Medicine Hall members, was naturally depicted.

All of a sudden, their body trembled.

‘We must succeed!'

‘We have to succeed even if we die!'

Everyone stared at the ingredients of Chaos Origin Pill with their eyes wide open.

Un Gak's eyes also sank low.

‘I'm betting my everything on this!'

Heat began to fill the Medicine Hall.
