Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 245. I can't believe you're giving it so
generously! (5)
"Will it be all
right?"
"What do you mean?"
"…Is that okay?"
The eyes of Hyun Jong, who turned his head following Hyun Sang's gaze, showed
Chung Myung stirring the pot while emitting a luminous color of five colors.
"…how could I know?"
No one could even approach it.
He can't comfortably pray for good luck or leave because he was worried, but he doesn't dare approach him either.
Even those who do not know much about martial arts will know that something extraordinary is going on there right now.
Therefore, even the three who are completely exhausted cannot leave their seats and are staying there until the sun sets and rises again.
"It's already been almost a day."
"…That's right."
Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung with slightly trembling eyes.
'It was something that three people had to do.'
‘How could he do that?'
It is a complex and difficult task that requires two elders to infuse the energy and one first-class disciple to carefully control and stir.
Chung Myung, however, raises different amounts of internal strength with both hands to heat and stirs at the same time
It's already been a whole day!
That alone is outstanding, but what's with that constant glow?
"Un Gak……. No, Yakdang-ju."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"Did there say something like that in the refinement method of Immortal Medicine? The one who performs the refinement emits glows?"
"…I've never heard of it before."
"Right?"
So what the hell is going on here?
Hyun Jong, who was looking at Chung Myung in bewilderment, opened his mouth as if possessed.
"Ho-How long do we have left?"
"What do you mean…….."
"How much more do he have to stir?"
"Ah! The-There's not much left now. I'm sure it started around this time, so there's about one hour left."
"Is there a way to know it's over?"
"I don't know about that...…."
Hyun Jong clenched his fist and looked at Chung Myung with desperate eyes.
'You have to do it.'
One can tell.
Now Chung Myung is probably in areas they won’t understand. One could guess that much from the half-open eyes and the colorful glow from the body.
'Chung Myung-ah! Give me a little bit more strength... … !'
When Hyun Jong gave his earnest support, Un Gak opened his eyes wide.
"Huh?"
"Wha-What’s wrong?"
"Look at that! That!"
"Yes?"
Un Gak reached out and pointed to the pot.
"What?"
"W-What's that?"
The Elders widened their eyes in astonishment all at once.
Their gaze focused on the pot in which Chung Myung was stirring.
Hwaaak!
A faint, five-colored light emanates from the pot. The light became stronger and stronger and soon filled the Medicine Hall with a dazzling brilliance that hurts the eyes.
"Ugh!"
When Hyun Jong, who closed his eyes for a moment, slowly opened his eyelids...….
'What is this scent?'
Deep scent.
A very strong scent filled his nostrils.
This is definitely the same scent he smelled when they opened the box of Chaos
Origin Pill!
"No way!"
"Already?"
The three of them jumped up at the same time.
Their persistent gaze never came off the glowing pot and Chung Myung.
Meanwhile, Chung Myung did not know what was happening behind his back.
All his nerves were completely focused in the pot.
‘Harmony.’
Immortal Medicine is a great man.
He did not create Chaos Origin
Pill from ordinary materials.
These ingredients are in perfect harmony with each other. Immortal Medicine has
found the most perfect combination of the many medicinal herbs in the world.
The energy that is poured into pots and spatulas only boosts the energy of the
medicines.
What the maker of Chaos Origin Pill should do is create this perfect harmony.
'Therefore....'
[Insert your internal strength for ten days and stir.]
That's all he could say.
How many people in the world can understand the phrase to harmonize the energy
perfectly?
It is very difficult to convey the meaning fully in writing. And if he doesn't
know the level of the person who will hear it, it's going to be even more difficult.
In the end, this method is
probably the easiest method that Immortal Medicine has come up with after much
consideration. Anyone who will follow his will and take over the secret of
Chaos Origin can create Chaos Origin Pill.
Even if the level was a little lower compared to the original Chaos Origin Pill
he created, he would have considered it worthwhile.
But, fortunately, or unfortunately, it was Chung Myung who got the secret of
Chaos Origin Pill.
A person who transcends even himself in his previous life.
That's why he can take a step further from Immortal Medicine's original Chaos
Origin Pill.
Pour energy into the pot.
Embracing the energy of Taoists, the clearest energy in the world is mixed with
the energy of Chaos Origin which is circulating in harmony.
'That's why it's Chaos Origin Pill (혼원단/混元丹).'
Chaos Origin (Honwon).
(Hun Yuan. I attempt small
searching. Hun means mixed, blend but also means to confuse or disturb hence
Chaos. Yuan means center or origin. But in this context, turning it into a
sentence would result in ‘Originally in blend/mix/unity’. I'm dumb and this is
just what I’m speculating as the novel fans. Feel free to correct me and leave
your own thought. Discussing fav novels is fun ahahaha.)
Heaven and Earth. And the Universe.
Different things gather under the Heaven to form the Earth, and therefore, the
Universe.
In this pot, there is a world that Immortal Medicine dreamed of.
A world where everyone lives in harmony.
A world where everyone lives without arguing with each other.
Chung Myung disagree with Immortal Medicine's idea, but he couldn't help but
admire his tenacity and will to project his will even to the Pill.
‘Immortal Medicine and Chaos Origin.'
Sweats are dripping from Chung Myung's forehead.
The fire (火氣/ Fire Qi) that was seething
below the pot slowly subsides.
The cold air (冷氣/ Cold or
Frosty Qi)that had been condensed gradually removes the coldness and turns into
water (水氣/ Water Qi).
Things that live on the ground comes back to earth compacts the ground, and
wood, that is the root, wraps around it.
And the gold (금기(金氣)/Metal or Gold Qi) which flowed out of the season.
Water, Fire, Wood, Gold, Earth.
That is the five elements.
Here lies the foundation of the world.
The perfectly harmonious world that Immortal Medicine sought.
Chung Myung just adds one more thing to the world.
Tao.
He creates a path to the world Immortal Medicine created. The world exists, and
the path (Tao) is what one has to walk.
That is the will of Tao.
In the end, it is the human heart.
Add Tao energy (道氣) into the Five Elements, it
adds the heart.
The Tao energy he infused begins to swing with the world of Five Elements. The
energy that was pushed out, rejected, and quarreled soon accepts the new energy
and begins to swirl together.
That's the way the world is.
To accept, understand, and blend together.
There is a world in there.
The world that Immortal
Medicine dreamed of becomes the world that Chung Myung dreams of.
Is that fine?
Yes, that's fine.
That's what the world is. It is the world even if it changes, and it is the
world even if it does not change.
Whatever form it takes, the world is just the world.
Chung Myung slowly opened his eyes.
Pushing all his energy to the end, he took his hand off the pot and grabbed an
iron spatula.
The energy melts away.
Both the Five Elements and the energy of Chung Myung melt together as if they
have no meaning.
And finally!
Hwaaak!
The five-colored radiance that was emitted is united into one and has a subtle purple
color. Not a dazzling brilliance, but a subtle embrace of purple.
Chung Myung, who had been quietly looking at the pot as if possessed, took a
step back while holding an iron spatula.
"……."
Clang.
The spatula fell from his weak grasp. Chung Myung, unaware of that fact, looked
at what he had created with blank eyes.
"Chung Myung-ah?"
"……."
"…… Chung Myung-ah?"
The face of Chung Myung who turned his head was blank.
Behind his back, the Elders and Un Gak were looking at him with a
breathless faces.
Hyun Jong gulped down dry saliva and opened his mouth in a slightly trembling
voice.
"Wha-What happened?"
"Uh……."
Chung Myung looks at them and the pot in turn.
‘I should answer honestly, right?’
"First of all, it failed
to make Chaos Origin Pill."
"……."
Hyun Jong's eyes are filled with gloom.
Instead of Hyun Jong who closed his mouth tight, Hyun Sang opens his eyes wide
and asks.
"Fa-Fail?"
"……."
"Is- Is this the light from failure?"
Hyun Young also hurriedly opens his mouth as if he doesn't understand.
"What happened, this! Explain..."
"Quiet."
Soon after, however, Hyun Jong stopped them in a low and heavy voice. The
elders, who were about to shout, all shut up.
Hyun Jong, who was looking at Chung Myung without saying a word, smiled brightly.
"It's a shame. But we can try it again. It'll take a little while, but
let's not rush into it. You've been through so much. Don't worry."
Chung Myung smiles at such Hyun Jong.
‘He's a great man anyway.'
Failure.
No one in the world wouldn’t be disappointed before that word. However, Hyun
Jong regained his composure in that short time.
And he was more worried that Chung Myung will be disappointed than that their
hard work has gone in vain.
'That's how you became Sect Leader.'
And that's how you became Taoist.
He glads this person is the Sect Leader, really.
Chung Myung, who was slightly complimenting, continued. (Originally says
accused and complaint but I can't wrap my head around it so yeah.)
"I had failed to make Chaos Origin Pill."
"Right. But it's fine. I don't care..."
"But I'm afraid I…."
"Yes?"
Chung Myung turned his head and looked at the pot emitting a purple glow.
‘What should I call that?’
‘Okay.’
‘That should be it.’
"…I think I have created Jasodan (자소단(紫霄丹))."
"Huh?"
"Jasodan?"
Hyun Jong tilts his head.
"What did you mean? Jasodan?"
Jasodan was the most accomplished pill in Mount Hua in the past. However, the
refinement method of the pill was lost with the invasion of Magyo.
But what did he mean by Jasodan out of the blue?
Chung Myung grinned and continued.
"I'm not saying that I made the original Jasodan that was handed down to
Mount Hua. But this isn't even Chaos Origin Pill."
It was a little different from Immortal Medicine's intentions.
It's a pill that only Chung Myung can create.
"Since greater pill of Chaos Origin Pill was created in Mount Hua, so
let’s called it Jasodan."
Hyun Jong's eyes trembled.
What did he just say?
"Gre-Greater?"
"Yes."
"You're saying it was greater than the original Chaos Origin Pill?"
Chung Myung shrugged.
"I told you so."
"The- Then."
"Yes."
Chung Myung smiled.
"It worked!"
The Elders faced each other. And Yakdang-ju also looked at the Elders and pots
in disbelief.
And after a while.
"Uuuuooooo!"
"Cha-Chaos Origin! No, Jasodan!"
"I'll see with my own eyes! With my own eyes!"
Unknown how they gain such strength, the dying Elders rushed toward the pot
with enormous force. Then they put their head into it.
"Hoh!"
"Hohohoho!"
Hyun Young, who saw something white with a subtle purple glow, turned his head
and told Yakdang-ju.
"Such thing is a pill?"
"No, that's right! This
is the pill."
"Isn't it just a lump?"
"I-If we round it up and dry it, it's a pill! Come on, Elder! It's a
success!"
"Success?"
"Yes! If we don't succeed, it'll never smell like this! It's the first
time I've ever seen a pill that emits light! If this is not a pill, what is a
pill like in the world?"
Hyun Young looked back and forth at the pot, Yakdang-ju, and Chung Myung as if
he couldn't believe it.
And.
"Hahahahahaha! You goblin-like bastard!"
He rushed as if he had nothing to think about and hugged Chung Myung.
"Argh! It hurts!"
"Hold up, hold on! Hahahahaha! This lucky fellow is now at it again.
You're even making a pill! What do you want to eat, you punk!"
As if that wasn't enough, he held Chung Myung up and went round and round.
"Ah! I'm dizzy!
"You cute little thing!"
Hyun Sang shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Sect Leader! Success! Success!"
"Yes…. Yes. I see."
In fact, Hyun Jong, the Sect Leader, stammered as if he could not help himself
from the overwhelming emotion. He looked at the pot quietly, then lifted his
head and looked at the ceiling.
‘My ancestors.'
‘We're finally here.’
‘Arrived here.’
‘Are you watching?’
An indescribable emotion shakes Hyun Jong.
‘It's all thanks to him showing up.'
He can't even imagine what Mount Hua would look like now if their ancestors
hadn't sent Chung Myung.
No.
Maybe even the name Mount Hua isn't left by now.
The thought of it made his nose run cold.
It was the moment when Hyun Jong was about to say something out of emotion.
"No, it's not time for this!"
"Huh?"
Chung Myung hurriedly pushed Hyun Young away and lit his eyes.
"Knowing what the world is going to be like! Don't try to throw a party
already, but hurry up and finish it! I can't feel safe until the whole thing
goes into my mouth!"
‘That's right!’
"Move, move!"
"Co-Come on!"
"I'll start right now!"
The Elders rushed into the pot and tilted their heads.
‘Huh?’
‘But who are we listening to right now?’
"Hurry up!"
"O- Okay! Yes!"
It doesn’t make sense at all.
‘Whatever…….’

The 元气 (origin of everything) starts from 混沌 (a state where there is no order), and is implicitly indicated as 混元, 'the elements of heaven and earth'. Actually, you already translated the term from the novel with all those words. Lol.
