Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 131

Cheongyeon (4)

The expressions on the faces of the Tang family and the Tang siblings were calm.

No one attacked Heonwonchang.

He didn’t even look displeased; he just stood there quietly, looking at Jeongyeonshin.

The soliloquy of the Great Leader was ignored.

“It’s probably a story you don’t understand. It’s water that has mysterious effects if you soak it in the moonlight of the full moon several times.”

Gaju Dangunhwang spoke with a faint smile.

The words that were used as extremely respectful titles for a while have now changed to “engineering”.

This is why Jeong Yeon-shin asked the Iphwangseong branch to take care of the lower body.

From what I heard from Palgaju, even the engineering school was burdensome.

Even though the boy was somewhat detached from the world of martial arts, it was the same.

A status that is considered to be one of the most noble in the world.

However, Tang Yunhuang did not end up being condescending.

“It is called Yeongsu (靈水), and only when the heavens are right can the spirit of the craftsman, which resides in it, be purified with this water. It is a mysterious object called the dragon vein or the spirit vein. This is why the great master of the previous generation, who opened the lineage of the family, settled here.”

The sound of water flowing down from the mountain seemed to clearly surround Dang Yun-hwang’s calm voice.

It was a place with a nice atmosphere.

Jeong Yeon-shin nodded, sweeping the handles of the two swords.

“I am just grateful.”

“The new soldiers who come to the family periodically come from Yeongsu. It is not common, but it is not rare. I am not yet able to express my gratitude in words, so please do not express your gratitude hastily, Master.”

He spoke with a faint smile. The thick beard covering Tang Yunhuang’s mouth looked affectionate.

He has both a cheerful disposition, as can be guessed from his nature, and the appearance of a worn-out vengeful spirit.

It was still clearly drawn in the boy’s eyes.

The gesture of the Tang family leader who swept away the thirteen thousand warriors along with the fierce sword Gal Sa-ryang with the Mancheonhwa-woo was extremely merciless.

Judging from the way he treated Jeongyeonshin, it was to the point where he didn’t seem like the same person.

“I’ll mix the iron that’s already been soaked in the spirit water and melt it again. The weight and surface area are the problem, but if it’s the master’s sword, the spirit water can handle it. Both are typical three-foot swords. The width is less than an inch. The weapons of the martial artist.”

Tang Yunhuang’s eyes scanned Jeong Yeonsin’s twin swords.

The shape of the Iphwang sword has already been revealed, but in the case of the Bukmyeong sword, the shape was guessed just by looking at the sword blade and sword armor.

It is also true that the weapon of the martial artist is three feet long (about one meter).

It was a sword that a commoner who had not learned martial arts had to swing with both hands to reach the length of the sword.

The eyes of Tang Yunhuang and the Tang siblings moved along with the fingers of Jeong Yeonshin touching the sword.

When his fingertips touched the Ip Hwang sword for a moment, Tang Yunhuang opened his mouth again.

“It’s common and famous. It’s so well-made. I wonder who the craftsman is. If it’s a supply weapon for the Ip Hwang Seong… … .”

This is a sword that has been in possession of Jeongyeonshin’s Gwanghwageomryu for a long time.

As the rumor goes that weapons made by the Iron Tribe grow along with their owners, even if it was a sword mass-produced for distribution, it was most familiar to the boy’s hands.

At one time, it was thought that there was no sword in the world that suited him better than this one.

It was different now. I had created a magic wand and temporarily ascended to the black level.

Now I’m going to be clashing with the best players one after another, but the teeth on my blade are already worn down.

‘The sword can’t stand it.’

It is difficult to deal with the enemies’ terrifying internal energy and sword power in succession.

Originally, weapons were consumables.

There is a reason why the word “popular” is attached to the Iphwanggeom.

The warriors of the original kingdom were constantly supplied with high-quality weapons whenever they returned from a mission.

If the Yi Hwang-seong warriors had to deal with a high-ranking enemy, it was usually because they had techniques that could harm the Iron Fist.

There is also a limit to protecting the sword with internal energy.

Sling.

Jeongyeonshin pulled out two swords at once.

Tang Yunhuang’s eyes immediately scanned the direction of Bukmyeonggeom.

The sunlight was dazzling on the ripples running down the sword.

This is a sword that was awarded to those who made meritorious contributions to the Blood Flame Sect.

“What a rare treasured sword.”

Tang Yunhuang said.

It seemed like it caught the eye of the famous Tang family leader.

Even Jeong Yeon-shin felt that the Bukmyeong sword had something special about it. It caught the wind well.

In terms of balance, the Ip-Hwang-Geom also had no sharp points, but it felt different as it was harder and cut through the air better.

There were just few opportunities to capture the essence of the sword.

‘Because the sword that was wielded when the Gwanghwa Sword was founded was the Iphwang Sword.’

Because there were many urgent situations, I unconsciously continued to use the sword that was in my hand.

It was a little vicious cycle. It seemed like it was time to let it go.

Jeongyeonshin, who has been through many battles with the supply sword, has now entered a new realm.

No matter how much affection you have for it, if you want to fight to resolve the short life, the divine sword will be helpful.

“Excellent choice. I think this is much better. The fundamentals are more valuable.”

Danggaju said as he accepted the hilt of the Bukmyeonggeom sword that Jeongyeonshin had handed him.

“A weapon whose blade hardly breaks is a new weapon. With the sword firmly in place, the outcome of the fight is left entirely to the master’s martial arts. Even the master knows very well how powerful the first technique of calmly throwing down the sword is.”

“Yes. Excuse me, but do you know how long it will take?”

The boy asked quietly. Tang Yunhuang immediately burst into laughter.

“If you are so cautious, I will be the one who feels sorry. If you speak frankly, I will answer anything. If it takes time to forge a new divine sword, it will take a month. I want to ideally mix in spiritual iron. I have already told the family’s master craftsmen. I will be the one to take up the hammer.”

“Go. I heard it before, but you said you were going to mix it with iron and melt it?”

Taeyeonryong asked with a slightly surprised expression.

It is a very precious mineral. There was even talk that it was a metal taken from a comet that fell to Earth.

If you properly follow the mixing method, such as the secret method, and pickle it, it is said that a strong sword that will not break for a long time will be created.

Although it was heavier than iron of the same volume, it was called a treasure.

For some martial artists, even that is an element that enhances their swordsmanship.

It is difficult to value even a small amount.

This was especially true for Hyeoncheol, who had been spiritually active for a long time in a prestigious family known for its blacksmithing.

If the sword with the spirit of the North Star were to pass through the hands of a master craftsman, it might gain some kind of power worthy of the name divine sword.

Everyone present knew it.

“That’s it, Master. We’ll take care of the black stuff, so I guess it’s time to talk about something else.”

Tang Yunhuang waves his hand. It seems as if he is trying to ease Jeong Yeonshin’s burden.

Tang Yunhuang carefully placed the Bukmyeong sword in the water of Gasan and opened his mouth once again.

“There is something equally important as the Divine Sword. I know the suspicions of the Iphwangseong masters, including Sohyeop. Wall-power bullets.”

“… … .”

“Even without that, the afterlife of openness has already given me a message. He came to the cliff of Myeonggongdo to deliver that message. He said that a few of the Blood Sect Swordsmen he had been watching for a long time came in and out of his hometown. He said that they were all bald.”

“Blood Flame Cult… …!”

Jeongyeonshin opened her lips while Heonwonchang was still silent.

“The elder lord of the original city also went missing while chasing the apostle. I hope that we can obtain even the smallest clue.”

“However, it is a very difficult task to find out. If he colluded with the Blood Flame Cult, and not anywhere else… …he would be a person of no ordinary status even in his family. It is not easy to keep a secret in the venerable Dangkata.”

Tang Yunhuang’s mouth looked heavy.

The head of the household himself speaks of any possible shame to the family.

The boy thought.

If it were Hwangbo Se-ga and Namgung Se-ga who I have experienced so far, they would have massacred the Iphwangseong masters in front of me under the pretext of murder and extermination.

The stock price in front of my eyes was different from theirs.

‘It doesn’t feel like a pure temple like the old ones, but it has faith. It’s a great swordsman of the secular world.’

The conversation continued with Jeong Yeon-shin secretly admiring it.

The conversation only made the difficulty of the work more and more apparent. Tae-yeon-ryong, who couldn’t stand to watch, sighed with a weary face.

“If it’s a snake that has been around for a long time in the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to find. It would be a terrifying venomous snake. Either by design or by poison.”

Although Heonwonchang made a face of astonishment, Danggaju responded with a janggu.

“Hwangbo Hyeong-je’s words are right. The old blood relatives of the main family are usually sinister and deep-minded. They might be hiding in the dark and laughing at those who seek them out.”

“Why on earth would someone from the main family get involved in socializing and collusion…? I just can’t… .”

Dang Ryeo Ryeo’s army gathered. They had uncomfortable expressions on their faces as they listened to the story.

The same was true of Dokryong Dang Yeohwa. She was a master of the Tang literature and martial arts with qualities that everyone respected.

It was a life in which I did not feel any lack, even for a short time. It was even more incomprehensible because the Tang family was not weak.

Tang Yunhuang smiled at his daughter.

“I know that your talents have blossomed amazingly and brilliantly. However, it has been too long since I have seen Mancheonhwawoo at my hometown. I wonder if you were looking for an alternative. Either you were seeking the bloodline knot that could accumulate power separately from the Banwon Samyang Gong (反原三陽功), or you joined hands to explore something else… … .”

“It could be both.”

Namgung Hwasin suddenly spoke. However, it was a story for which there was no answer.

My first day at the party came to an end like an incident that took place in a swamp.

* * *

“Your review index is really amazing. The fortune of the emperor is excessive.”

“Is that a white giraffe…? Or maybe it’s an island.”

It was a deep cave. Old voices rang out in the darkness.

“Both of them are here. The one with the sharp blade, Seomyeran, was the first to be polished. It was none other than black.”

“Huh, huh huh… … .”

An old, worn-out smile came out, ceasing to crack.

“Black… … I saw it during the competition before the duel with Namgung. I thought he was overflowing with talent… … He was truly in full bloom… … Amazing, amazing.”

“My long-cherished wish was fulfilled on my first journey to Sacheon. I have spent my entire life appealing to the heavens to grant me the inspiration of ten thousand thousand flowers, but my lifelong wish was taken away by my incompetent son. You, the late index of Seomye… … are very dangerous. You were born with the talent to reduce the learning of the new martial arts to the realm of technique.”

That story.

It was a word that gave a strong power to a voice that had previously been listless.

The voice that had been answering with difficulty became much clearer.

“That is also surprising. I don’t want to hold you back any longer. Why are you keeping this old man alive?”

“It’s probably because it’s not enough. Your grandchildren’s bodies are strange. They’ve clearly implemented a significant portion of Seomye’s human body diagram, but the results are not satisfactory. Our grandchildren don’t wield their talents like that boy. I’ve also thoroughly examined your body with the blood and the spirit of Samyanggong.”

At the same time, there was a burst of laughter.

“You don’t understand the word genius. He is literally a gift from heaven, so how dare humans try to encroach on the realm of the acquired? It’s a futile struggle. Be content with what you have.”

“Speak freely. Lord of the Imperial City.”

* * *

The next day.

Jeong Yeon-shin was invited to the banquet of the Taesang family head of Sacheondangmun.

It was expected. The conflict between the head of the household and the head of the household was not over.

It is a world of martial arts where blood and power are exchanged.

The Taishang family leader who held all power could not easily give it up.

The banquet hall was splendid.

The size of the interior was comparable to that of a decent martial arts studio.

On a summer day, the smell of grass wafted in through the window along with the loud cicada calls.

The old wooden tables with the shape of the letter “口” drawn on them also had an antique feel.

Ten people sat per row.

The banquet was already as vibrant as the lights of a red lantern, with dancers dancing in the center and musicians playing zither adding to the excitement.

They each raise a glass of wine or eat a delicacy, exchange greetings, and discuss martial arts.

There were also those who discussed the situation in Sacheon.

“I heard that the young children of Sima Wei Dao had a meeting at the police station. It really is the end of the world. In broad daylight, the Sapa scum are running around, pretending to be the last.”

“There is also talk that the head of the Cheongseongpa has passed away. He was said to have been defeated by a peerless swordsman.”

“Are you talking about the Jeokha Sword? What kind of nonsense is that… … Rather, the rumor that the Little Sword Queen of the Jeomchangpa came out with Ami and her disciples of Cheongseong is more credible and interesting. The Yongbong Ssangdok of the main family should suppress them at least once.”

Jeong Yeon-shin had already received a drink several times. They were all from the Taesang family.

It is true that I broke the contract with the sword in Seoju.

Just treating them appropriately brought a smile to their faces.

That was when.

“I’m getting tired of just listening to the bell. Listen.”

It was the Taesang family head sitting next to Jeong Yeon-shin. He was wearing the same golden robe as when I first saw him.

The eyes that were staring at the boy from the corner of his eye were bleary.

Could it be that he is drunk because he deliberately did not drive away the alcohol, or that he is deliberately pretending to have blurry eyes.

-It must be a terrifying poisonous snake.

Tae-Yeom-Ryong’s words flashed through my mind.

“Hey, Seomye. What are you thinking about? You look worried. You’re the one who has everything in the world.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t that so? You are the black master of Ip Hwang Seong.”

The Taishang family asked quietly. There seemed to be something abyssal in his old breath.

Before we knew it, silence had fallen on the banquet hall.

The masters’ dazzling eyes were completely focused on Jeong Yeon-shin.

“just.”

The boy opened his mouth calmly.

“I was wondering what your business was. Didn’t you just mention the bamboo shoots?”

“Ah… … That’s right. That makes sense.”

The corners of the Taesanggaju’s mouth went up to the sides.

A smile with a hint of madness. A movement that seems to tear the number apart.

“I called you because I was curious. That day, didn’t you teach the skill of Mancheonhwawoo to my son? It was truly a difficult form to understand. Just holding hands and letting go, how did our head of the household start to produce flower petals? I tried not to ask because I was a layman, but I was so curious because I was a layman, I couldn’t hold back.”

It is a banquet hall where the masters who escort you are gathered on both sides and in front.

It was a place where even words, not coercion, were turned into pressure. The Taesang family leader asked quietly.

“Can you tell this old man? Apart from Mancheonhwawoo, who has already entered the family’s arms, I am very curious about your martial arts skills. Is this too shameless of a request?”

“… … No. It’s not difficult.”

Jeongyeonshin slowly opened her lips.

“These are the words of the most honorable person in the house to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. If we are to talk about the person with the highest status in the family, then there must be no one else but the Supreme Lord of the family, right?”

“No, no. The young people who support the family are truly noble.”

The Taishang family leader shook his head slightly in humility. There was a smile on his lips.

A small cheer rings out from the masters seated in the banquet hall.

“then.”

Jeong Yeon-shin reached out to Taesang Ga-ju.

At the same time, he operated the Neungbeop Gwangryungi. The Taesang Family Head of the Sacheon Tangmun.

It was different from the thirteen thousand warriors who had seen the scene of the swordsman being killed right in front of their eyes.

The magical power of the Neungbeop Gwangryungi is not so loud that it can be observed from a distance.

The framework of the new practice of the new skill was built with passages from the Diamond Sutra and Chaegeundam.

Heavy inside the body, soft outside the body.

The nature of the divine skill learned by the master of the Great Wave was extremely valuable information.

All the thirteen thousand masters who noticed the magical power of the light wheel machine died.

It is highly likely that only the Ten Commandments learned about it through the Extreme Moon Sword Sojinrang.

However, the land of Sacheon was very large, and there was a limit to the speed at which news could travel.

All the valuables, including the spirits that were in Sojinrang’s arms, were recovered.

If it is not the previously known Demon-Destructing Water, then the function of the Neungbeop Gwangryungi is still a top secret.

Swish.

Wrinkled hands and young hands meet.

But the boy thought to himself, no matter what, he wouldn’t be the head of the family.

Kwaaaaak―!

A groan erupted. It was from the mouth of the Taishang family.

“… … ?”

Jeong Yeon-shin was rarely flustered. Inside her, Heonwonchang and Taeyeonryong spoke at the same time.

Is there another martial arts world in the world that is in such disarray?

“this guy!”

“Get your hands off me!”

Those sitting on the left and right suddenly stood up. The reaction speed was extremely fast. It was a sudden rise like a flash.

As soon as they reached into their arms, the Taesang Family warriors each drew their weapons.

He just throws things around as if there’s nothing to measure.

The sight of secrets and blessings pouring in from all over the place was like rays of light.

Jeong Yeon-shin stretched out her left hand. The energy waves of absorption and emission spread from the No-gung and So-bu points in the center of her palm.

The rotating waves of the halo began to swirl in an instant.

In a room where household items including glasses and plates were flying and shaking, the genius of the Shingongjeolhak’s Gugyeol arose with a genius-like pulse.

‘Mancheonhwawoo.’

Wow!

The dark magic that had been stretching out stopped for a moment, then swirled around as if it were going to scrape the entire room apart.

In an instant, the owner changes. All the rays of light return as the storm that rages in the air.
