Chapter 29

Bu Eunseol looked puzzled for a moment.
You can ask anyone to teach you, but you can’t necessarily learn?
“The masters in the main hall only train themselves in different martial arts through practice. Except for the Beast Dao, there are no grades or set basic martial arts.”
Dan Qing said with a serious expression.
“But since you’ve been chosen as one of the Ten Demon Warriors, I’ll grant you a great favor this time.”
“Thank you.”
“What you need most right now is an excellent Inner Gong Profound Technique.”
Bu Eunseol nodded.
She hadn’t practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she had no foundation in not only martial arts, but also internal arts.
Then Dan Qing turned and pointed to a mountain peak in the distance.
“That’s called the Iron Field Peak.”
“Iron Fist Peak…….”
“That’s right. You can rest today, and climb to Iron Field Peak tomorrow.”
Dan Qing looked at Bu Eunsun and spoke in a solemn voice.
“There is a master there who will teach you the ultimate Inner Gong Profound Technique.”
* * *
After resting at the residence, Bu Eun-sul ascended to the Iron Fist Peak early in the morning at sunrise.
She had always prided herself on having a body of steel thanks to her martial arts training, but the mountain was unspeakably tough.
“Woohoo. Woohoo.”
After climbing the mountain for more than two hours, she was out of breath.
But Bu Eun-sul never stopped walking and climbed the mountain without a break.
Tap.
When she finally reached the top, her eyes widened.
At the end of the peak was a small pavilion, and in front of it stood a large man in a tattered robe, carrying a pack on his back.
“Excuse me.”
The robed man approached and bowed deeply.
“I was just listening to the words of the High Priestess…….”
“You have been chosen to be one of the Ten Horse Warriors of Nangyagak.”
With a low voice, the man standing at the edge of the peak turned around.
At that moment, Bu Eun-sul’s eyebrows rose slightly. The man’s face, neck, and arms…… were covered in scars wherever his clothes did not cover them.
At first glance, he looked more like a monster covered in scars than a human being.
“Hmm.”
The robed man looked at Bu Eunseol in astonishment.
Up until now, he could see that people of all ages were greatly agitated by his appearance.
But to see a boy less than a year old looking at him and raising a single eyebrow.
“You don’t seem surprised.”
“I should be surprised.”
The man’s eyes flashed as he looked into Buunsul’s calm eyes.
“You must have seen a lot of ugly things at your age.”
He guessed with a glance that she’d had a rough childhood.
“Being a goat is one of the ugliest things you can do.”
“You mean you were a goat.”
“Yes.”
At Bu Eunseol’s answer, the man in the robes spoke up.
“And your name?”
“Buunseol.”
“Buunsul.”
The man who had repeated Bu Eun-sul’s name spoke again.
“You’re here to learn how to use the Inner Gongshim.”
“Yes.”
“It’s nothing new, but…….”
The man who turned his gaze to the distant sky muttered in a bitter voice.
“I don’t know why everyone in Nangyagak is so greedy.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“You seem to have already mastered the art, so why would you want to learn it again from an empty monk?”
“Empty monk?
A hermit is a monk’s humble name.
Does that mean this robed man is really a monk?
“I have never practiced the Inner Gongxin Method.”
In response to Bu Eun-sul’s answer, Sasa gave him a disdainful look.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
He pressed his finger firmly on Bu Eun-sul’s lower front.
Then, a semi-elastic force rose up from the bottom and pushed the man’s hand away.
“You’ve been systematically cultivating since childhood. You’ve never learned the inner core method?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
The man’s fierce glare didn’t change Bu Eunseol’s pupils.
“Then it’s one of two things.”
The man swept his gaze across Feng Shui’s eyes and said coldly.
“Either you’re a liar of the highest order, or you’ve learned the Inner Gongxing Technique in your dreams.”
Bu Eun-sul said nothing.
It was the best defense he could muster.
“Hmm.”
The man’s eyes flashed with fascination as he realized that Feng Shui’s pupils hadn’t wavered an inch.
“A hermit monk is called a blood gold river.”
Blood River.
A former master of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, a holy place in Yunnan, he was accused of murder and excommunicated from the inner circle.
However, years later, somehow, he was able to restore his cultivation to perfection and rejoined the martial arts.
He executed his fellow brothers who had framed him, and slaughtered those who sought revenge.
Afterward, various sects tried to kill him, but he was killed countless times, having mastered all the martial arts of the Heavenly Dragon School.
“Why does a monk’s name have the ominous word “blood” in it?
Although Blood Demon River was a demonic beast who had slain countless sect leaders, Bu Eunseul had only thought of him as a monk with a unique name.
“You don’t know him.”
The Blood Gold River bared its fangs and laughed.
“The reason I’m called the Blood Gold River is because I’m a monk, and I’ll kill anyone who gets in my way. Do you understand?”
“I understand.”
He nodded, but his eyes were filled with distrust.
The Blood Gold River’s eyes were as clear as the autumn sky reflected in a well. He didn’t look like someone who was tainted by evil or capable of murder.
Tsk, tsk.
Then, with a lightning-like motion, Bloodgold River grabbed Feng Feiyun’s vein.
“Since you’ve never learned the Inner Gong Profound Technique, I assume it’s okay to destroy all of the Inner Gong Oscillators?”
“I was mistaken.
Blood Gold River seemed to have no qualms about killing Feng Feixue, who had become a Ten Demon Warrior of the Nangya Palace.
“Of course.”
As Feng Feixue nodded, Blood Gold River, who was holding the vein, suddenly felt a strange sensation.
He discovered that his body was filled with Qin Qi, but there was no Qin Qi movement at all.
‘It can’t be this guy…….’
After releasing the vein, Blood Gold River took a deep breath.
“Have you ever learned anything?”
“What do you mean?”
“Like the secret to calming the mind, or how to breathe in and out.”
“I learned it from my grandfather.”
“Try it.”
Blood Gold River said solemnly.
“Do it right in front of my eyes.”
“I understand.”
Taking a deep breath, Bu Eunsul focused his mind.
He stood and began to breathe as his grandfather had taught him.
“You’re going to stand and do the chi kung.”
“What does breathing have to do with standing?”
Feng Keqiang was dumbfounded.
Even the simplest Yun Qi Tao Noodles are practiced while sitting in a reclining position.
“If you can do it standing up,…… doesn’t that mean you can do it in any position?
“Hmph.”
At that moment, Bu Eun-sul concentrated and began to breathe.
Her breathing, which started out normal, became calmer and longer.
Soon, her inhalation and exhalation lasted for more than a minute.
‘This is…….’
Feng Keqiang narrowed his eyes.
‘One breath in and one breath out?
Isn’t Bu Eunsul’s breathing method similar to the Yun Qi Heng Gong of the Reverse Muscle Sutra, which only Shaolin masters can master?
“What’s wrong?”
Bu Eun-sul’s eyes were now wide open and she was talking.
“It’s a reverse rhizome.
Of all the Inner Gong Simulation techniques scattered throughout the Wulin, only the Inverse Muscle Technique allows you to open your eyes and mouth while practicing.
Swallowing hard, Blood Gold River stuck out two fingers and grasped Bu Eunsun’s vein again.
“Don’t worry about it, continue.”
“Yes.”
Bu Eunseol refocused her mind and continued her breathing.
‘This is…….’
Bloodgold Kang’s eyes narrowed as he stood there for a while, watching Feng Feiyun’s flow.
”You mean you just taught her how to accumulate Qin Qi?
What Bu Eunsun was doing right now was not a technique that allowed her to freely use her True Qi, but a nourishing secret technique that allowed her to accumulate True Qi in her lower body.
“This is ridiculous.
Blood Gold River shook his head in disbelief.
“You mean to tell me that he only taught the Nourishing Secret Technique because if he taught all of the Reverse Muscle Sutra, the Inner Gong Shen Technique would be exposed.
For this to be possible, there is only one situation.
The Shaolin master deliberately taught Bu Eun-sul only the Yangsheng Rain method on the reverse root system in isolation.
There was no other way to explain it.
“Stop.”
Bu Eun-sul stopped breathing at the sound of Feng Keqiang’s voice.
Seeing her worried expression, he let out a hollow sound.
“Your grandfather taught you this breathing technique?”
“Yes.”
“What you’ve learned is not a breathing technique, but a way to cultivate a powerful internal force.”
Bu Eunsul was stunned by Blood Gold River’s words.
“You mean what I learned is the…… Inner Gong Simulation Method?”
“The Inner Gong Simulation Technique and the Tormenting Technique are different. What you’ve learned is how to accumulate True Qi in a single step.”
Blood Gold Gang’s expression turned solemn.
“The Inner Gong Core Technique not only cultivates the True Qi within your body, but also allows you to use it freely.”
Bu Eunsul’s expression became strange.
“Sometimes, when I give my lower abdomen a push, I seem to feel a tremendous force… I must be doing something right.”
According to Blood Geomancer, like a cobbler, Bu Eunseol had only learned how to collect internal energy, but not how to use it.
While she was lost in thought, he spoke again.
“Right now, your dantian has accumulated an internal force that a martial artist would need to cultivate for more than a dozen years to obtain.”
“More than a dozen years…….”
“Furthermore, since you are in a state of pure Qin Qi, if you activate your latent blood, your strength will increase instantly.”
Suddenly, Bu Eun-sul had an answer to a question she had always had.
Why he was able to run faster and with greater physical strength than most people.
The reason she was able to execute the basic sword techniques of the Hua Wu Sword Gate so powerfully was because she had some inner strength.
“You can build up your inner strength with just breathing techniques?”
“It’s not just a breathing technique.”
Blood Gold Gang looked down at Bu Eunsun with a glint in his eye.
“The Yun Qi Earthly Qi Technique you’ve learned is derived from the highest level of the Inner Gong Core. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have accumulated such a powerful internal force in such a short time.”
After staring at Bu Eunsun for a long time, Blood Gold River asked again.
“What was the name of your late grandfather?”
After thinking for a moment, Bu Eun-sul said.
“He used the name Zhan Yang in his family name.”
“Bu Zhanyang.”
The low murmur darkened like the setting sun.
“As far as the Emperor knows, there is only one other person in the Martial Kingdom who bears the name Bu Zhanyang.”
“Who is that?”
A divine light of unknown depth exploded from the blood-red pupils of his eyes.
“The vice-magus of the previous generation, the one who was called the first martial artist. I’m Bu Zhan Yang.”
