Chapter 185
Chapter 185
Three days have passed since the small commotion of that day.
Since then, my senior brothers have not bothered Un Gwang and me.
However, they have only shown themselves training hard next to us, to the point where it seems excessive.
"Hmm... Unhwi-ya. Shouldn't you tell them to stop and go in now?"
Today's duty officer is Senior Uncle Hyeon Jeong.
My senior uncle, who was watching us train, asked me indirectly.
"I think this much is fine. I'll watch them carefully and if I think it's too much, I'll tell them to stop."
"Hmm... I understand."
At my one sentence, my senior uncle nodded his head as if he had agreed.
I felt anew that I was being recognized within the Wudang Sect.
Because the youngest had directly refuted the words of his senior uncle, and he had just agreed.
"So when will the list be narrowed down? You have a rough idea of the personnel, right?"
"Well... I do, but it's not yet decided for sure."
"Then let me ask you one thing. Hwang will be picked, right? Of course?"
"If his skills are sufficient, of course he will be picked, right?"
"But can't you just tell me secretly? I'm just trying to tell my master secretly."
It seemed that my senior uncles and grand uncles were also very interested in who among us would be picked.
Well, that's understandable.
Although it is not a competition they are participating in themselves, since their own disciples or the juniors they are looking after are participating, participating there and making a big contribution is no different from their own honor.
Anyway, it should be recognized that the people of the orthodox faction value invisible things like honor very much.
"Although nothing has been decided yet... I'll ask you, senior uncle. Do you think Senior Brother Un Hwang's skills are not good enough to be among the thirty?"
"Absolutely not. It's definitely not because I'm helping to teach him directly, but you also know well that Un Hwang's qualities are outstanding, don't you?"
"That's right, right? Then just believe it. That he will be picked."
"What if he's not picked then?"
"Then it's really a shame. Well."
I shrugged my shoulders and said, and my senior uncle burst out laughing as if he were dumbfounded.
"Alright. In fact, I heard that they are not just picking based on skill this time, so I asked you. You guys... it seems you are really thinking of defeating the Eighteen Arhat Formation this time."
"It's not us, but the great senior brother Un Gwang. He was really serious this time."
"Yes, anyway. I hope you guys will do what we couldn't do at least once. This will be the same for not only our generation, but also our senior uncles."
"Yes. I'm thinking of doing at least one of the two."
"One of the two?"
"Either win in the group match, or win in this Taoist-Buddhist Great War."
At my words, Senior Uncle Hyeon Jeong smiled with satisfaction.
"Good. I heard a little, and it is said that if you show a good performance in the Taoist-Buddhist Great War this time, the sect leader is thinking of putting out something big."
"Something big?"
"Yes. It seems it will probably be one of the two."
I swallowed hard.
Two big things that the sect leader of the Wudang Sect can give.
That is probably...
"A secret manual or a spiritual medicine?"
"That's right."
"If it's a big thing, the secret manual will be a truly super-advanced martial art, and the spiritual medicine, by any chance, is it Tae, Tae..."
"That's right. It's the Supreme Clear Pill."
"The Supreme Clear Pill!!"
I, forgetting that there were many senior brothers around, screamed.
And then I can feel the heads of the senior brothers who were in the middle of training all turning this way at once.
The eyes of those senior brothers... I can feel them burning as if someone had set a fire.
I'm screwed.
With a slip of the tongue in a moment, the number of competitors has increased by dozens in an instant.
But I couldn't help it either.
The Supreme Clear Pill is a spiritual medicine among spiritual medicines that is compared to the Great Return Pill of Shaolin.
It is a truly rare spiritual medicine that has only been made a few times in this long history of the Wudang Sect.
'Of course, they say if you save it, it will go to waste, and in the future, they won't even be able to use it all properly and a war with the Demonic Cult will break out...'
As much as it contains a powerful energy, it takes quite a lot of time after eating this Supreme Clear Pill to digest it properly.
When the war with the Demonic Cult broke out, each sect generously released the spiritual medicines they had stored up.
For example, Shaolin had the Great Return Pill, our Wudang had the Supreme Clear Pill, Huashan had the Ziso Pill, and the Beggars' Sect had the Drunken Beggar Pill.
But, spiritual medicines are not things that suddenly make you several stages stronger or increase your internal energy several times as soon as you eat them.
First, you have to store the energy in your body and then slowly absorb it over time, but at that time, there was no time for that, so they probably wouldn't have seen the proper effect.
'Anyway, if I can get that now, I can shorten the time it takes to become strong by several times.'
To do that, I have to win the match against Monk Yeong Hwan no matter what.
In the first place, if you only count Monk Yeong Hwan's generation and age, he is half a generation higher than me.
To be precise, it means he is about the same as between our master and me.
On top of that, if you assume that he has an unparalleled talent, it is a fact that it seems impossible for me to win at a glance.
But, it is a natural thing that you can give the biggest impression to the people around you when you make the impossible possible.
I vowed that I would get the Supreme Clear Pill no matter what.
***
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Wudang Sect, around the time when the disciples of the Wudang Sect were sweating profusely.
There, a man whose clothes were not just shabby, but at the level of wearing rags, and whose face was so dirty that you couldn't even tell when he had last washed, let out a sound of admiration as he looked at the neatly laid stairs towards the Wudang Sect.
"No, what is all this. This isn't Shaolin, it's definitely the Wudang Sect, but there are stairs laid out like this?"
He had a very dumbfounded face.
"It's not like I've come after ten years, I'm just visiting after three years. What money does Wudang have to do something like this?"
Since there was nothing he could find out just by being dumbfounded, he moved his steps and began to climb the stairs.
After climbing the mountain on the stairs for a long time, a familiar sight appears.
Originally, to find the place where the Wudang Sect was, he had sometimes taken the wrong path, and if he was tired, he had even rested in the middle and then gone, but he had arrived at the Wudang Sect much faster than he had thought.
The effect of properly paving the road and laying the stairs was enormous.
"Sniff, sniff... no... what is this smell again. In Wudang, there was always only the smell of grass, the smell of grain pills, and the smell of burning fat, but now there's only the smell of sweat? This isn't the Hebei Peng family."
Although there is no other dog's nose like this, it was not a difficult thing for him.
Because he had always trained his sense of smell, saying that to get good food, you have to be good at capturing smells.
But today, as if that sense of smell were tormenting him, he frowned and moved his steps towards the entrance of the Wudang Sect.
Although it is common for outsiders to enter and exit through the Supreme Azure Gate, he naturally headed for the Jade Clear Gate.
The Jade Clear Gate is originally a place where the martial artists of the Wudang Sect enter and exit.
In this case, it is one of two things.
Either he is a person who knows nothing about the martial world and the Wudang Sect, or conversely, he has visited the Wudang Sect often and is too familiar with it.
"What brings you here?"
As he approached the Jade Clear Gate, a disciple of the Un generation who was guarding the place greeted him.
But the beggar, without even revealing who he was, shouted at the Wudang Taoist as if he were scolding him.
"What do you mean, what brings me here? I came because I have business!"
"O-Of course you do, but I have to report what your business is..."
"Sigh. Anyway, you have to admit that the Wudang guys are frustrating. If I came here, you should think that I must have a reason to come and serve me. Do I have to say something with my own mouth?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just doing as I'm told..."
Although it was a case of an outsider scolding the owner of the house, the Wudang Taoist rather bowed his head, saying he was sorry repeatedly.
To be honest, the young Taoist also did not know who this beggar was.
However, the knot tied to his waist.
He could only guess his identity by looking at that knot, which was tied in seven layers.
'An elder of the Beggars' Sect!'
That's right. He is not an ordinary beggar, but one who is responsible for one of the Nine Sects and One Gang.
And he is an elder of the Beggars' Sect, which has the largest number of members in the entire martial world and is the largest information organization in the martial world, although they have the status of beggars.
In fact, for a disciple of the Un generation who had not yet even made his debut in the martial world, it was a great courage to block him like this.
The young Taoist, without giving way to the end, blocked the Jade Clear Gate and waited for his answer.
If he is an elder of the Beggars' Sect, of course his martial arts are also amazing.
If he just puts his mind to it, he can subdue a Taoist of the Un generation with one fist.
As if the Beggars' Sect elder were angry, when he took a step, a powerful force enveloped the surroundings.
The young Taoist almost sat down at that energy, but he instinctively raised his own energy and endured the energy of the Beggars' Sect elder.
"Can't you get out of the way right now? If you don't get out of the way...!"
The Beggars' Sect elder shouted.
It was as if the heavens and the earth were ringing, and his head was spinning.
It was a difference in internal energy that was no match. A situation where the saying 'throwing an egg at a rock' came to mind.
But, still, the young Taoist endured.
The moment he endured to the end and looked straight at the elder of the Beggars' Sect.
Suddenly, the elder's energy disappeared without a trace.
The young Taoist, for a moment, had a bewildered expression.
The Beggars' Sect elder said in a light voice, as if he were a completely different person from a little while ago, "If you don't get out of the way, I have no choice but to listen. Were you very surprised?"
"Ah, no."
"You have quite a bit of spirit. Your internal energy is also considerable, and your body is also well-polished. You, what is your Taoist name?"
"I am called Un Mi."
"Un Mi?"
The Beggars' Sect elder scratched his head.
'If he's this well-trained, his name would have surely entered my ears...'
The skill of this young Taoist named Un Mi is a skill that you have to be at the level of the Three Knots in the Beggars' Sect to have.
In the Beggars' Sect, the Three Knots means that you have obtained the qualification to become a branch leader.
Although he does not know the names of all the masters and rising stars in the martial world, he thought that he could not possibly not know a rising star with such outstanding qualities.
'At this level, he must be a disciple who belongs to a rather strong group within the Wudang Sect's Un generation. It was a good thing that I came to Wudang myself.'
He felt a sense of satisfaction at the thought that he had seen a rising star who would shine in the Wudang Sect in the future.
"Then go and tell Ok Heo that I, Maeng Gwang-gae (Fierce Mad Beggar), have come. If you say that there is something to talk about regarding the matter of Shandong Province, he will know."
"Yes. Would you please wait here for a moment? I will be back soon."
"Alright. I will wait here without moving an inch."
Un Mi bowed to Maeng Gwang-gae and then performed a lightness skill and disappeared into the Wudang Sect as if he were flying.
While watching that, Maeng Gwang-gae smiled with satisfaction.
"Hoho. It's a good lightness skill."
Maeng Gwang-gae, although he looks irritable and prickly on the outside, in fact, he is a martial artist who loves the orthodox faction, loves justice, and cherishes the rising stars more than anyone else.
He smiled with satisfaction, as if he liked Un Mi, who showed such spirit and martial arts at a young age.
But he had no idea at all.
That in a little while, he would see countless rising stars who were more monstrous than the Un Mi he had recognized.
