The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 88

Many people gathered in the old lady's room. The old lady and the magistrate, the Divine Physician and the people of the Divine Physician Valley, the old lady's maids. And Pyon Juksu and Mok Wigun.

"Alright. What is it you want to talk about?"

The magistrate asked. But before Mok Wigun could speak, the Divine Physician asked for permission and spoke first.

"Each spiritual medicine has different properties and uses. The inner core of the thousand-year-old fire carp and the fruit of the thousand-year-old flower spirit grass have similar properties, but they are strictly different. It is clearly stated in the records passed down in our Divine Physician Valley."

Since it's the Divine Physician Valley, it's natural that they should do the treatment. He had said that in advance. He thought that no matter what Mok Wigun said, there would be no problem as long as he had said that.

"Alright. Then let's talk."

Mok Wigun walked out from the group of people and began to speak.

"Changing the treatment method in the middle will be a great burden on the patient."

"I said that yesterday, but the Divine Physician Valley can handle it well enough."

The Divine Physician immediately retorted. At that, Mok Wigun let out a strange laugh.

"Do you think so?"

In a normal case, that would be possible. If it were a normal patient. But the old lady is not.

"It won't be like that. Because the old lady has a peculiar constitution."

Everyone had a puzzled expression. Because the story of her constitution had never come up before. But Mok Wigun continued to speak calmly.

"So you shouldn't treat her like a normal case. Because her life could really be in danger."

A silence fell in the room for a moment. Then a physician suddenly shouted.

"What do you mean by that? A peculiar constitution? Where are you trying to deceive us with false words?"

At that, Mok Wigun threw a question at that person.

"Did you really not know? What the old lady's constitution is. You treated her without even knowing that?"

"What kind of nonsense is that..."

Only the Divine Physician had a slightly troubled expression. He knew Mok Wigun's skills to some extent. So he had thought there must be something. But he himself didn't know what it was.

"Alright. What kind of constitution does my mother have that you're making such a fuss?"

When the magistrate asked, the old lady suddenly stepped forward. She first asked the Divine Physician.

"Is there something peculiar about my constitution?"

The Divine Physician thought for a moment and then answered cautiously.

"No. When we examined you, there was nothing like that at all."

At that, this time she asked Mok Wigun.

"What is my constitution like? Is there something peculiar?"

"First, please send the people away."

The Divine Physician immediately objected.

"No. That person may try to deceive you with cunning words."

"That's right. Mother. It would be better to listen in a place where everyone is present."

The magistrate also objected. But Mok Wigun was just smiling. The old lady who saw that said.

"Everyone, go out!"

A voice filled with authority. Whose command is it that they would not follow? Everyone except for the magistrate and the head maid went out. The magistrate had a face full of dissatisfaction.

"Alright. Now that everyone is out, let's hear what you have to say."

Mok Wigun looked at the old lady and said.

"It's the Five Yin Severed Meridians."

"Five Yin Severed Meridians?"

The magistrate had an expression of hearing it for the first time. On the other hand, the old lady asked with a slightly surprised face.

"What is the Five Yin Severed Meridians?"

"It's a disease where the yin energy is strong and blocks the blood vessels. It's a symptom that occurs because you are born with a congenitally strong yin energy."

Although you are born with a clever and beautiful appearance, it is a disease that makes you die early.

"The martial arts of the North Sea Ice Palace have the effect of preventing the meridians from being severed. That's why the North Sea Ice Palace also looks for children with severed meridians."

But the cultivation method that makes that possible is treated as a secret art even within the North Sea Ice Palace. It is absolutely forbidden to be leaked to the outside.

"The person who passed on the martial art probably knew that fact. If he had left it as it was, you probably would have had a hard time passing thirty. So he must have passed on the martial art even knowing that it was not allowed."

That's why the old lady was able to live while maintaining her health until now. But that was broken when she had a fever before.

The old lady smiled and looked at the empty space. With a faint expression as if she was recalling the past.

"Yes. The person who came from the Ice Palace also said so. He was originally going to take me to the Ice Palace. But my father said that was absolutely not allowed."

So the master who had come from the Ice Palace had thought about it and had passed on the cultivation method.

"And he also told me not to tell anyone that I had learned it."

The old lady said that far and then rested for a moment and asked Mok Wigun.

"When did you know that?"

"I knew when I first examined you."

"Oh? Then why didn't you say anything even though you knew?"

"Didn't you say you didn't tell anyone?"

Since the magistrate also didn't know, it was really that no one knew. There was a reason to hide it.

"But how can I easily say something like that? If it weren't for this situation, I probably wouldn't have said it."

The old lady nodded her head. She looked at the magistrate and asked.

"Alright. Who should I entrust the treatment to?"

Although the magistrate had consistently insisted that it should be left to the Divine Physician Valley, now he had no choice. And he also thought it would be better to have Mok Wigun treat her for his mother's sake.

The magistrate had everyone come in. And then he strongly rebuked the Divine Physician.

"What kind of treatment are you doing without even knowing my mother's constitution? The name 'Divine Physician' is shameful!"

The Divine Physician was flustered, but he couldn't say anything. Because he didn't know what the old lady's constitution was.

In fact, there was a part that was a little unfair for the Divine Physician. The old lady's constitution was really hard to notice. Mok Wigun had noticed it because his experience was so vast and his senses were so sensitive; it was impossible for anyone else.

But what could he do? Someone had noticed, and someone had not. That was all.

"Then we will do the treatment."

When the Divine Physician Valley was kicked out, Mok Wigun said.

"Then should I bring the fruit of the thousand-year-old flower spirit grass?"

"No. Today, we will just do the preparatory work."

Since it was such a difficult task, it was impossible to do it at once. So for now, he was planning to make the solidified cold energy crack and then proceed with the main work after seeing the situation.

"Then let's begin."

When Pyon Juksu stepped forward first, the old lady thought it was strange.

"Young Master Mok did everything, but I guess Physician Pyon is doing this one."

"No. It's such a difficult task that we have to do it together."

"Oh ho. Is that so?"

The old lady had a face full of curiosity at Pyon Juksu's words.

"You can just be comfortable."

Pyon Juksu first marked a few places with a needle. It was to protect the parts that might be strained when Mok Wigun used his hands.

"I feel like there's something inside my body."

"That's right. I've left some energy inside to protect your body."

At Pyon Juksu's words, the old lady asked, saying it was strange.

"I don't know much about medical skills, but I've heard a few things while I was at the general's residence. But I think this is the first time I've heard of leaving energy inside the body with a needle."

Pyon Juksu answered with a grin.

"It's called the inner needle method. It's to put internal energy into the body through a needle."

It's hard to see an effect with just normal internal energy. You have to use compressed internal energy to see a proper effect, and it will last for a long time.

"It's a technique that only Young Master Mok and I can use."

"Is that so? How strange."

Pyon Juksu put energy into the places that needed to be protected with the inner needle method like that. When that work was finished, Mok Wigun stepped forward.

Mok Wigun carefully inserted the needle into the place where the cold energy was solidified. And he made the tip of the needle lightly touch the solidified cold energy.

- Watch carefully, and if the internal energy splatters, catch it right away.

- Of course.

If you give a shock to the cold energy mass, the energy can splatter to an unintended place. If that happens, the blood vessels will be torn. Then it's a disaster.

So while Mok Wigun is giving a shock, Pyon Juksu has to sense the situation and immediately block any splattering energy.

- I'm starting.

- I'm ready.

The work began. A really delicate and precise work. Mok Wigun held his breath and very carefully poured in his internal energy. The compressed internal energy went down the needle according to Mok Wigun's will. And at the end, it created a strong vibration.

Jiiing.

The old lady felt as if something was ringing inside her body. And she also felt a slight tickling sensation. She also felt like laughing.

But she couldn't laugh when she saw the two people who were concentrating on the treatment. The two of them were really pouring all their minds into the treatment. Even as time passed, the two of them didn't move at all, and sweat gradually appeared on their faces.

Later, they were both so drenched in sweat that water was dripping. But the head maid couldn't carelessly touch the two of them. Their appearance was so solemn and majestic.

Jjajajak!

Mok Wigun could feel it with the sensation at his fingertips. The cold energy mass had cracked.

"Hoo-ooh."

It was not an easy task. He was only able to get the desired result after using up almost all the internal energy in his blood vessels.

"Fortunately, the preparatory work went well."

Mok Wigun said as he wiped his sweat.

"You've worked hard."

The old lady said with a face full of emotion. Seeing the two of them treating her, she was naturally moved. Because they were doing their utmost for her. Even her own son wouldn't be able to do this much.

"You've really worked hard. You must be tired, so go and rest."

"I'll check your condition first."

Mok Wigun checked the old lady's condition.

"Everything went well. I think the treatment will be possible even tomorrow."

"Is that so? The two physicians can decide on the date."

The old lady completely trusted the two of them.

"Isn't it better to get better even a day earlier? We'll do it right away tomorrow."

He also set the time. He decided to start when the sun was at its zenith.

After finishing the work like that, when Mok Wigun went back, the old lady called the magistrate.

"Don't make an enemy of those two."

It was a statement made knowing that the magistrate was keeping Mok Wigun in check.

"Mother. I'll take care of that myself."

"Oh? You'll take care of it?"

When the old lady's voice became a little louder, the magistrate quickly explained.

"This is a golden opportunity to completely take control of the area around Chang'an. We just have to press down on Mok Wigun."

"You foolish brat."

The old lady sighed.

"Do you think that's possible? Would I have brought this up if it were?"

The old lady's tone was filled with power. She was Lady Seol, who was also called the leopard at the general's residence. When her face became angry, the magistrate was flustered.

"How are you going to do anything with such a poor eye for people?"

"Mother. That's not it."

"Do you think they are ordinary people? They caught the single-horned great serpent and the human-faced spider that even Taeseokgwan of Huashan failed to catch. How strong do you think their martial arts are?"

The old lady's words were unreserved.

"Besides, didn't you lose a lot of masters because you did something foolish?"

"Pardon? That's not it."

"What do you mean it's not? Isn't that why you're asking the general's residence for masters? Did you think I wouldn't know?"

The old lady already knew everything. The fact that the magistrate had lost all the masters of the military. And because of that, he had requested that the general's residence send masters.

The old lady looked at her son and said.

"Think carefully. What will be the most beneficial to you?"

"Yes. Mother."

While the mother and son were talking like that, Pyon Juksu and Mok Wigun were having a conversation at the manor.

"You're not going to just end it like this, are you?"

When Pyon Juksu spoke, Mok Wigun grinned.

"Of course not. If they come out like this, I can't go quietly."

He had tried to treat them with goodwill, but they had tried to harm him. Then they had to pay the price.
