Chapter 292
Heavenly Transformation Pill.
This elixir has a special story attached to it.
If one were to name the most representative elixirs in the martial world, it would be Shaolin's Great Return Pill and our Wudang's Great Purity Pill.
The purpose of making Shaolin's Great Return Pill was not to enhance internal energy.
It was born while making an elixir that could create a body state that could enter nirvana, and the remnants of worldly desires that still remained after entering the Buddhist faith and leaving the secular world.
The situation of Wudang's Great Purity Pill is also similar.
The purpose of the Wudang Taoists is to one day escape this temporary world and become an immortal and ascend to the immortal world.
That's why this Great Purity Pill came out while researching a medicine to become an immortal.
In other words, the two elixirs that represent the martial world were actually made with different purposes, but after they were made, they had a tremendous effect on enhancing internal energy.
Of course, seeing the results, the two sects came to a similar conclusion.
They each made a medicine to become a Buddha or an immortal, and since their internal energy was enhanced, they concluded that if they worked hard on their internal energy and martial arts training, they would each be able to reach the extreme they desired.
But, the Heavenly Transformation Pill is different.
The Heavenly Transformation Pill was made from the beginning for the purpose of enhancing a martial artist's internal energy.
The person who made the Heavenly Transformation Pill was a Taoist called the Cheonhwa Taoist, and he was also making a pill to become an immortal, but one day, his internal energy increased due to the side effects of the medicine, and he thought, 'What if I make a medicine that can increase internal energy in earnest?'
After that, he researched only making the Heavenly Transformation Pill for ten years, and after making just ten Heavenly Transformation Pills, he disappeared from the martial world.
Some say he died because his lifespan ran out while making the Heavenly Transformation Pill, and others say he became an immortal thanks to gaining a great enlightenment.
Anyway, regardless of his ending, what's important now is that the Heavenly Transformation Pill is now placed in front of me.
"Alliance Leader. This is, by any chance..."
My master said in a trembling voice.
To be honest, I'm also dazed. Because in my past life, I had never even seen a glimpse of the Heavenly Transformation Pill.
"Didn't I explain it a little while ago? It's a Heavenly Transformation Pill."
"I'm not asking about that, but why this."
"I think I also said that a little while ago. I want to work you two more, so eat this and get stronger even a little faster."
He answered in that way even though he knew that my master was not asking about those things.
It seemed his intention of 'I have no intention of explaining at length, and there is no need to listen, so hurry up and receive the Heavenly Transformation Pill' was conveyed.
"Even if it's Unhwi, I haven't done anything to deserve this. So I think it will be difficult to receive this."
"This is the first time I've seen a martial artist refuse an elixir."
"It's not that I'm refusing, but it's because my heart is heavy to receive something that is not mine."
At my master's firm attitude, the Martial Alliance Leader clicked his tongue.
To be honest, even in my opinion, my master's attitude now is a little frustrating. Because even now, I want to quickly say 'Thank you!' and put the Heavenly Transformation Pill in my bosom.
But in the end, because of this appearance, the Alliance Leader will cherish my master.
Because a martial artist with an upright spirit is the kind of martial artist that the Martial Alliance needs.
"I didn't want to explain at length, so I didn't want to say it."
The Alliance Leader sighed softly.
As if he knew my master's stubbornness, even that great Martial Alliance Leader seemed to be giving in to my master.
"First, this elixir was originally prepared for you."
"For me?"
"Yes. It's a bit of an old story, but I once asked you to come to the Martial Alliance, and you were the only one who didn't come, saying that there was a place you had to go to right now rather than the Martial Alliance."
I, not knowing when that was, glanced at my master, and my master, as if he had realized when he was talking about, nodded his head and said, "Yes. It was when I left for Xinjiang with my disciple to save my junior disciple, Hyeon Cheong."
"In fact, the reason I called you then was to give you this. It was around that time that I obtained the Heavenly Transformation Pill."
"I see."
"I tried to give it to you several times after that, but for some reason, I thought you wouldn't receive it at that time. So I waited until you had made a contribution that would make you accept this."
"Haven't I made any contribution since then?"
"No. Didn't you bring your disciple?"
The Martial Alliance Leader turned his head to me, looked at me slowly, and then continued, "If you hadn't brought him, Unhwi would have come to the Martial Alliance at least a few years later, not this time. Because the disciples of the Wudang Sect usually come to the Martial Alliance for the first time when they are about to become second-generation disciples. Isn't that right?"
At those words, my master and I had no choice but to nod our heads.
Because if my master hadn't introduced me, I would not have had a connection with the Martial Alliance for at least a few years.
"Then this Heavenly Transformation Pill would have already met another owner. I only obtained these two, and in fact, I was just contemplating whether to give them to two other martial artists."
"May I ask who they are?"
"You might already know them. The Heavenly Beloved Roaming Dragon of Huashan. And the Heavenly Wind Swordsman of Zhongnan."
"I have heard of them. I heard they are called the Two Dragons of Shaanxi."
"Their relationship is peculiar. Huashan and Zhongnan are close to each other, so they are constantly conscious of and compete with each other, but when they are tied to Shaanxi province, they are tied together."
Listening to their conversation, I think I know why I, in my past life, had not even seen a glimpse of the Heavenly Transformation Pill.
The Heavenly Beloved Roaming Dragon and the Heavenly Wind Swordsman are older than me, and they are the most senior martial artists among the next-generation talents who are younger than my master.
They are also martial artists with the talent to leave their names in the history of the martial world for a long time if the martial world had not been destroyed by the Demonic Cult bastards, and if they had not died at such a young age.
Because they are the next-generation talents who represent the Huashan Sect and the Zhongnan Sect, which are each in charge of one axis of the Nine Sects One Gang.
Recalling the past, it was around this time that they began to make a name for themselves in the martial world, so it seems they were the ones who received the Heavenly Transformation Pill from the Martial Alliance Leader.
'It might have been a natural thing that my master and I couldn't receive it...'
Originally, my master's fate was to go to Xinjiang where Junior Disciple Hyeon Cheong had gone and die there, so the Heavenly Transformation Pill had lost its owner, and at that time, it had gone to the Two Dragons of Shaanxi, who had risen rapidly.
When I came to the Martial Alliance later, the Heavenly Transformation Pill had already been eaten by them, so there was no way I could have received it.
"So receive it quickly before my mind changes. If you say you won't receive it, I will take away Unhwi's as well and give it to the Two Dragons of Shaanxi."
"Then... I will receive it. Thank you."
My master had no choice but to accept the elixir in the end, and the Martial Alliance Leader, with a triumphant face as if he had finally won, opened his mouth.
"The day has finally come when I break your stubbornness. I know for sure what your weakness is."
"Hmm, hmm. No, Alliance Leader."
"No? You rush in without thinking when it comes to your disciple. Well, if it were me, I don't think I could leave a disciple like Unhwi alone because he's so pretty."
"It's not necessarily like that... sir."
My master, while saying that, glanced at me.
I barely held back a chuckle.
"Then go back now. It's stuffy to have been in here for so long. I should also go out for a bit."
"Do you have a mission for us right away?"
"Not right now. And if I give you a mission now, your disciple will be in a lot of trouble. Am I wrong?"
The Alliance Leader, looking at me with sharp eyes, continued, "Since you have to have a duel with four people, you have to maintain your body condition well until then. Especially the three next-generation talents are nothing, but... you have to be careful with that person. He is a vile person for his great family and the internal energy he possesses."
His voice was serious.
He was saying it, already knowing all about the news that I was having a public duel.
Moreover, he knows all about the fact that I have to have a duel with Seo Mun-wang-ryang at the end.
Although he did not mention his name or family directly, it was impossible not to understand.
As expected, it was the same in the past, but I can't gauge how much information he has.
Perhaps the reason he suddenly called me today and gave me the Heavenly Transformation Pill was because he had hastily decided to give it to me, hoping that I would not die at the hands of Seo Mun-wang-ryang in that duel.
"Thank you for your concern. I will definitely show you a good performance."
"I'm not that worried. But if I were to give you one piece of advice... never forget that you are having a duel, not a life-and-death battle."
I, as if I knew what he was trying to say, smiled broadly and answered, "Yes, Alliance Leader. I also intend to have a thorough duel."
"Then that's fine. Go back now."
We, after greeting the Alliance Leader, left the Martial Alliance and returned to the inn.
Even until we entered our room and locked the door, to be honest, it didn't feel real, so I was in a daze.
I, taking out the Heavenly Transformation Pill I had received a little while ago from my bosom, looked at it and said to my master, "Master. We just met the Alliance Leader, right?"
"Yes. To be honest, it doesn't feel real to me either. That I have received such a great thing."
"Should we just sell this? We could probably get hundreds of taels of gold."
"You're saying something you don't mean. You know well that internal energy is more important to us than hundreds of taels of gold, don't you?"
"That's right, isn't it?"
I was about to naturally go to the center of the room, but my master suddenly went to the center first and sat down.
"Master...?"
"Stand guard for me. It would be even better if you help me absorb it."
I wonder if this is the same master who was trying not to receive it earlier.
If he hadn't received it, I don't know, but since he has already received it, it seems he wants to consume it as soon as possible.
Looking at my master's face, he even seems to be secretly excited.
"There's no time. If I eat the elixir and my internal energy increases, wouldn't it be more efficient if I help you absorb your elixir with that increased internal energy? It's definitely not because I want to do it first."
"Aha. So you had such a deep meaning?"
"Of course. You've never seen me act without any meaning, have you?"
My master, after saying that, opened the wooden box as if he didn't want to wait any longer.
I had almost never seen my master be so impatient, so I felt like I was about to burst out laughing, but I soon composed myself and, sitting behind him, gently placed my hand on his Myeongmun acupoint.
"Now, I'll eat it."
"Yes, master."
My master, without dragging it out any longer, immediately put the Great Purity Pill in his mouth.
I have only received help from others, and I have never helped, so at first, I couldn't get a feel for what to do, but after a little time passed, I began to get the hang of it to some extent.
'When the energy of the elixir tries to gather in one place, it will be enough to just guide it in the next direction.'
The immense internal energy of the Heavenly Transformation Pill began to shoot around my master's body as if it were a playground, and soon, I began to get busy adding my strength to control that energy.
And so, my master fell into a state of selflessness, and I became focused on my master with all my energy and spirit.
