Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 46

Preparation (2)

The crown prince came closer.

Jeongyeonshin stood still with her sword in hand.

Sword. At this moment, the foundation of the art that can handle the group has been created.

“Let’s see each other often.”

Crown Prince Joo Yun-myeong said.

That was the end of it. The grandson no longer showed his emotions. It seemed like that was how he lived.

‘Where does it mean not to die?’

Jeong Yeon-shin raised her head after taking the example. The crown prince had already entered the armory.

Cheongmyeong slowly approached and put his arm around Jeongyeonshin’s shoulder.

“That’s the way people’s favor is. You can’t get it all at once. If you want the position of the leader of the Shingeomdan, even favor isn’t enough. You have to build trust. I guess consistency is the answer.”

“That’s right. In any case, it’s important to build up your achievements first.”

Jeongyeon Shin answered nonchalantly.

He put away his sword and wore it on his waist along with the Ip-Hwang-Geom. The sword was a consumable item. It was said that a sword whose edge did not dent was a rare and famous sword in the world.

The newly acquired feeling of the book came to me as a pleasant coolness.

“Go in first. I have somewhere to go.”

“okay.”

Cheongmyeong answered plainly and turned around.

Cheong-an-mageom Cheong-myeong. Although he seemed to be very easygoing, he was a person who had no regrets about anything.

Jeongyeonshin looked at his back for a moment and then walked away.

It was sunset, so the appointed time was right. At the end of the steps I took in the twilight, I found the true nature of Iphwangseongju.

I went in without any particular objection and climbed the stairs.

Since I turned blue, I felt like I was completely absorbed into the world of yellow.

“Island reservation······”

It was the moment when he spoke the name that became his own name, starting from the ceremony.

The thick stone door of the lord’s office opened by itself. It was just like when the emperor came to power.

Now I could feel the breeze, even just a little bit.

It was called Heogongseopmul (虛空攝物). It was a state where one could touch all things without even touching them.

Could this be a glimpse of the martial arts achievement of single-handedly destroying the royal family of a proxy country?

It is said that the period immediately following the founding of the Ming Dynasty was a turbulent time.

Although she was able to enter the palace, she did not marry anyone.

Even though the former empress dowager, who is still in good spirits, repeatedly advised him to do so, he refused.

It is said that he simply lived as a great teacher, teaching the successors of the emperor and as the divine sword of the Great Ming.

That is how the power of the Gyeongcheon-dongjihal Iphwangseongju was created.

‘The amount of internal energy must increase.’

Jeongyeonshin thought. She imagined herself as the new sword master, floating two swords in the air.

If the sword could move on its own, separate from the main body that deploys Shihwamugeukwon, it would be incredibly useful.

At that level, there would be no need to worry about force in establishing public achievements. It was a distant dream.

“You have some free time. Think about something else in front of me.”

A clear voice rang out, and I turned my gaze.

The thick tree trunks that stretched out through the office were always strange to see.

A woman lying diagonally on a tree came into view.

It was still a presence.

Her beauty, which made her look only four or five years older than Jeong Yeon-shin, was said to be a symbol of immortality.

The dark green eyes that seemed to stiffen the soul were overwhelming. They were different from the eyes of other masters.

Her long, flowing, light green hair didn’t move at all. It meant that she had completely lost her energy.

‘But I still feel the class. What kind of realm is it?’

First of all, I apologized to him.

The Emperor slowly opened his mouth.

“It seems like you’ve made up your mind.”

“Yes. I would like to ask the Lord for his heart method. I would like a martial art that allows me to quickly dissipate my energy.”

I have come to ask for your service in keeping with our previous promise.

It is thanks to the reckless request of Masain of the Iphwangma family.

The compensation was due to the friendship between my maternal grandfather, the former owner of the Shingeomdan, and the Lord of Iphwangseong. There was no need to delay it any longer.

Because Jeongyeon Shin is now clearly aware of what she lacks the most.

“The mind method. Yes. The amount of true energy is also important. After cleaning the bowl, you have to fill it with water.”

She continued with a smile.

“Something comes to mind. Come here.”

“yes.”

Jeongyeonshin moved without hesitation.

He had already completed the Mu-ui vessel. Jeongga-dong-gong was the best for refining the flesh.

However, there were various methods of accumulating energy in the world. Accumulation of true energy. It was called Chukki (蓄氣).

‘I need to create a method that can move quickly.’

You can’t take inspiration from other people’s fortune telling recipes.

It was right to experience one of the divine skills directly. It was enough to know how to quickly draw in the energy of the world.

After that, I thought about creating a method that would best suit my body.

“What are you doing?”

The Lord of the Palace asked. It seemed that Jeong Yeon-shin had approached her and was standing there blankly.

“Because you told me to come.”

“Closer.”

“You said to come closer.”

At his questioning words, the corners of Hwangseongju’s lips slightly rose.

“It seems like this is the first time I’ve seen a master of proper fortune telling. If training were sufficient, there would be no reason for a master to exist. Reciting the scriptures is not enough.”

She slowly got up, pulling her long legs inward.

The hem of his green robe brushed against the tree bark, making a small sound.

A sitting position with both feet resting on opposite thighs. It was a cross-legged position.

“Sit down before me. I will guide you through the true energy. This is how you should learn the mind method in one go.”

“Yes. Before that.”

Jeongyeonshin took three steps back.

He began to bow slowly.

It was because of the significance of martial arts in the world of martial arts. It was a time when the honor of a school was more important than personal glory.

He teaches us the seasons that will remain in history for a long time. We cannot help but respect him as our teacher.

Prohibits priestly delay? The Lord is above the law of the Holy See.

‘You don’t stop me.’

It seemed to be a sign of recognition. Jeong Yeon-shin bowed once and stood up.

This was enough. I never bow to the living more than twice.

The customs of the Central Plains, where Taoism took root, were like that. The martial arts world of Jiangho was still the same.

I sat in front of the Emperor, who was smiling strangely.

When I looked at her face up close, her skin was surprisingly white and transparent.

She smiled faintly.

“That’s not it. Show your back.”

A faint breath brushed Jeongyeonshin’s cheek. It was a very thin exhalation.

I wondered how much I had studied to be able to breathe so deeply.

Jeongyeonshin turned around, feeling awe once again.

‘I thought I would be able to enter the Jin-gi Taoist temple after learning about the Gu-gyeol.’

It seemed like he was trying to finish his martial arts training early. I remembered when he had passed the energy of Jasodan to Yu Hyeon, the disciple of the leader of the Hwasan faction.

Jeongyeonshin could speak and move. It seemed that Iphwangseongju could do the same.

“It is called the harmony of the moon spirits. It is my martial art of self-discipline.”

Her hand touched Jeongyeonshin’s back along with her voice. It was very warm.

Aside from her appearance that made her look like my sister, I wondered if this was what a mother I had never seen felt like.

Woof.

An internal energy so pure that he could never have imagined penetrated his body.

A stream of pure energy came in, as if it contained the energy of Mother Nature itself.

The veins and blood vessels throughout the body began to fill up one by one. It was a movement that showed the path of the energy of the Wolyeongjohwagyeol.

“This is how it is done. Feel it.”

Jeongyeonshin closed her eyes, calming her mind.

I felt the flow of true energy along with the voice of the Emperor of Heaven informing me of the secret.

As time passed, his thoughts began to turn on their own.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Her soft voice encouraged the flow.

Half an hour was enough.

As the fingertips of the Iphwangseongju that had been supporting her back fell, her internal energy also dispersed.

Jeongyeonshin acquired the divine power with just one cycle of listening to the verse. There was no need for it anymore.

A breath filled with laughter tickled the nape of Jeongyeonshin’s neck. He could hear her whispering in his ear.

“If you have any questions, come and ask.”

“Thank you for the compensation.”

Jeong Yeon-shin got down from her seat, turned around, and politely accepted the offer. She smiled again.

On the way out of the office and towards the Magwangik Hall.

Her heart was pounding. Jeong Yeon-shin realized anew that the world of ignorance was vast.

It was different from the use of Jin-gi in various swordsmanship and martial arts.

I realized that there is a martial art of the highest level that involves drawing in the energy of nature and storing it in one’s body.

Was it the consideration of the lord? Wolryeongjohwagyeol did not reject Jeonggadonggong’s energy.

Like her prayers that seem to embrace all things.

“very good.”

I found myself muttering to myself without thinking. I felt as if all sorts of inspiration were welling up in me.

It seemed like I could create a method that was far beyond third-rate right away.

‘I want to see Se-in.’

I was very grateful to my distant cousin, Masain, and my incompetent maternal grandfather, Mayenjeok.

* * *

Jeong Yeon-shin devoted himself to practicing and creating the mind method until the evening of the next day.

It was the first time since my childhood that I sat under the bed and practiced my internal energy.

It didn’t seem like a bad idea to just focus on the living, breathing energy inside and outside my body.

When the Great Circulation of the Whole Body was completed, the head of the General Office came to Jeong Yeon-shin’s room.

“This is truly something to celebrate. The Lord has now created another direct disciple.”

Do Yu-won said with a big smile. He had two sets of blue clothes hanging on his arms.

“that······?”

“It was only a few days ago that I received a new uniform, so I guess I’ll have to wear something different.”

Do Yu-won carefully unfolded a set of clothes he had in his arms.

It looked like it was a military uniform. It wasn’t much different from the blue military uniform that the Emperor had given him during his promotion ceremony.

The only difference is the color of the ‘rough yellow’ character embroidered on both sides of the shoulders and on the back.

The character “荒” was engraved with gold thread.

“Those who have received the martial arts of Seongju have a symbolism that is unrelated to the color of their uniform. They are bound to become famous in the martial arts world. Therefore, Jeong So-hyeop should also receive the ceremony of the original name like all the other royal family members, so the General Office has prepared it.”

“I see. Thank you.”

Jeongyeonshin accepted the blue robe with golden thread.

At the same time, Do Yu-won, with an expression of “Oh no,” added his words.

“Actually, I have already noticed the Crown Prince’s expression. The Lord of the Castle does not care, but it is different for us, the subordinates. However, I heard that he has let it go without a hitch.”

Jeong Yeon-shin nodded calmly and saw him off.

I changed my clothes right away and left the room. There was a summons from Margin.

The gold lettering was very striking.

The eyes of the seniors I encountered here and there widened.

When I arrived at the Great Training Center, pretending that it just happened, Magwang Iljo and Majin were gathered there.

This time, my junior Shin So-bin, who was assigned to the Iljo unit, also joined us.

“Cow, cow! What is that splendid golden appearance?!”

After Jeong Yeon-shin had roughly accepted Heon Won-chang’s fuss, Ma-jin spoke.

“I’ll talk about it. We’ve all agreed on a short mission cycle. First, under the guidance of the Blue Island, Heonwonchang and Shinsobin will go on the mission first. You three are suitable. This is a job that requires young faces.”

“What if you have a young face?”

Jeong Yeon-shin asked quietly. Suddenly, the Shaolin monk who had talked about the romance of young martial artists came to mind.

“There are people that people call the fair and just martial arts world. You’ve probably heard of them. They’re called the Hwangbo family.”

Margin said. He twisted the scar on his mouth.

“The truth is different. The Changcheondae already found out the secret long ago. They are mobilizing the common people to build a new family home. Without compensation, and without being able to engage in their livelihood. They are forcing the common people to do labor that the royal family has not ordered.”

“Those damn bastards!”

“It’s a common occurrence.”

It was a moment where the reactions of Heonwonchang and Shin Sobin were contrasted.

The martial artists of the giant sects are superhumans. They have the power to act as gods in the lives of the people.

There is a vast amount of human power that can be manipulated with a finger, and there are those who cannot learn without swinging their power.

“There are over a thousand forced laborers. The livelihood of the people, which is directly related to tribute, is a very sensitive issue. There is a limit to turning a blind eye to the local martial arts aristocrats. However, we must devote our heart and soul to punishing the political faction, and all public sentiment and awareness must support Ip Hwang-seong······”

Margin, whose words trailed off for a moment, continued his story.

“They completely rule over Jinan in Shandong. They already act like a royal family. There is a limit to how much they can expose their behavior. Seomye. You are important.”

“What is the mission?”

“Hide your identity and attend the Yongbongjihoe with the two Baeksik. This Yongbongjihoe is being held in Namjikye under the leadership of the Namgung family. Since it is just above that is Sandong, the head of the Hwangbo family will also be there.”

Margin, who had paused for a moment, opened his mouth again, and finally, Jeongyeonshin’s fourth mission was given.

“Your mission is provocation. Get on his nerves and drive the Sogaju bastard crazy. Mobilize the clan to get rid of you so he can’t help but give up. You must make the Hwangbo family’s power move significantly. You must expose a gap in the control they have over the entire Jinan region.”

“What happens if I succeed?”

“While you are in Namjikye, I will immediately extract reliable witnesses and evidence. This has been prepared for a long time. Three of the seventeen Shingeomdans will gather. All of Ma Gwang-ik, Changcheondae, and Myeolseomdae will attack Hwangbo Se-ga together.”

It was a story about destroying one of the eight great families of the Jeongpa martial arts world.

It was truly a tremendous undertaking. The fact that three of the Shingeomdan’s armed forces were cooperating was also a factor.

There are thirteen Apostles of the Central Plains, and seventeen to carry out missions in various parts of the vast world.

When three groups come together, they can be considered invincible.

‘crazy······!’

Jeong Yeon-shin felt a thrill. Heon Won-chang and Shin So-bin seemed to feel the same, as they opened their eyes wide.

He opened his mouth with as calm an expression as possible, because he had to ask the most important question.

“I’m talking about the Hwangbo Se family’s cattle. If their behavior or situation is not favorable, can I cut off their heads?”

“That is up to the discretion of the Blue Knight. That is the Blue hierarchy. He can take responsibility for anything.”

Margin answered with a smile. Baek Mi-ryeo, who was next to him, spoke with a worried expression.

“Seomye. Realize that this is a very dangerous mission. Don’t overdo it. That guy named Sogaju is destined to die anyway. He was born with great talent but was born with a constitution that will lead to a short life. He is already famous.”

Cheongmyeong said a word.

“They say he’s a genius from the Sun God Vein. He must be quite strong.”
