Chapter 47

“…….”
The pressure was different for the younger students than the older ones.
As much as they love their teacher, they still need to perform.
Immediate disciples have to deal with the pressure to keep moving upward, to repay the master’s favor, to reach higher and higher.
Since the inner disciples are the children of famous masters or families, they will have their own cliques.
Hubei is Hubei, Gangnam is Gangnam, and so on.
And there will be a leader among them.
Then there’s pressure from the people below.
In order to save the prestige of the people in that area, he’ll sacrifice himself.
“It must be hard for the vassal disciples.
“Hmm? It’s a little late.”
Dawn is breaking.
The darkness around them gradually lost its power in the light of dawn.
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t sleep anyway, but…….”
“Oh, by the way, is this your training ground?”
“It’s inside a volcano, so it must be the Volcanic Sect’s haze, but as you say, it’s mine, my haze.”
“I’m sorry.”
An apology for barging in unannounced.
“You don’t have to apologize. Just come when you feel like it. I like you.”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome…….”
We said our goodbyes and headed to Quyunam.
But I was walking too slowly, and by the time I got there, the swordsmen’s training time was up.
“I can’t hear them.”
I changed direction and flew to the front.
It’s a sect precept that you can be late for home, but not for training.
I arrived at the hall, barely late.
And just like yesterday.
I spent the day practicing martial arts.
But there was something a little different.
“What is it?
My body hasn’t changed.
Nothing has changed in my inner workings.
Nor did my diet change again.
It was my mind that had changed.
I’m happy.
There are no obstacles to practicing Wushu.
The more I practice, the more refreshing the feeling of coolness sweeps through my body.
And my body responds to that feeling.
As I said, Ch’oshik hasn’t changed.
But the way you extend it is different.
When I swing it, it’s refreshing, and when I stab it, it’s painful.
The more I extend it, the more my mind is refreshed.
“Why?
I was not enlightened.
But why has it changed?
‘Is it because of the Golden Day?
He was cool.
He said he was splitting factions, but it didn’t seem like he wanted to.
And it was his flamboyant words and cool personality, unbecoming of the firstborn of a merchant family, that affected my heart.
Unlike the Plum Blossom Sword, the herbivores that I didn’t like haven’t changed, but they’ve entered my heart.
“Hmph.”
It’s different from yesterday.
My whole body was covered in sweat as I unfolded one of the herbs.
I could tell just by looking at it that it had changed.
I felt refreshed after doing all of them.
My anxiety about Sensei and my irritation with these factions had disappeared.
I sat down and wept.
My mind was changed.
The field of the mind is the battlefield.
I could feel that the ceasefire had not grown, but it had become stronger.
And the bottom line changed accordingly.
It was pulsating.
It wasn’t like the blood I spat out after unfolding the plum blade.
It was pulsating to change.
Pow!
A refreshing qi pierced through his body.
It strengthens the pores of the blood vessels that are pierced, and causes the ones that are not to be pierced to be pierced by the aftermath.
He returned to the lower battlefield and exploded in the lower battlefield.
Boom!
My head rings.
And the bottom battle grew louder and louder in proportion to the sound.
The bowl overflowing with water grew larger and larger until it contained all the water.
Then the energy stopped pulsating and settled into the bottom field.
I can feel it now. No, I can see it.
When I open the Plum Blossom Sword, it won’t cause a surge of Qi.
It would simply spit out the blood and refine my body.
I could feel this.
I opened my eyes and stood up, but no one had gotten up.
“What?”
When I looked closer, they were all crying.
The Five Elements Master called out to me.
[“What are you doing? Go ahead and do your chanting.”]
I sat down and cried, thinking.
“What is it? Why hasn’t anyone woken up?
The power has changed.
In my experience, when such a phenomenon occurs, I usually pray for at least five sijin.
But the situation was exactly the same as it was right before I started crying.
It wasn’t five shijin, but an angle or two.
I thought, “Well, I just changed my mind.
The aftermath of that only increased the short circuit.
Therefore, I concluded that it could be so.
First, I checked the condition of my body.
I checked the condition of my body, and the blood vessels that had already been opened were hardened.
And the nearby blocked acupuncture points.
Points I hadn’t realized were open were open.
This is a good thing.
This is a good thing, because unblocked acupuncture points correspond to increased martial arts skill.
And the capacity of the short circuit.
It hasn’t increased by much, but it’s still comparable to what it was before.
It can hold more energy.
The same goes for interruptions.
It was able to circulate more energy.
And finally, the speed of the Qi has increased.
It moved around my body faster than before.
When I returned to the bottom position, my whole body felt cool, as if natural energy had entered my body.
Soon after, one by one, the swordsmen stood up.
“That’s it for today.”
Master Five Elements said and left the training center.
I guess this is how lessons are supposed to end.
It seems a little irresponsible, but you have to do what you have to do and leave.
When the Five Elements Master left, something was different from yesterday.
Every day is different.
But if you live your life repeatedly, the changes don’t deviate much from your original life.
Now, it’s a big deviation.
Two forces gathered on two sides.
The checkpoint and the gate.
The guys at the gate were looking at me as if they were going to chew me up.
“Cheongwoo…….”
Yeonhwa approached me.
She looked worried.
“……Let’s go.”
With that, I put my hand on her shoulder and turned around, but someone shouted from behind me.
“Stop!”
I ignored it and kept walking, and the person who spoke ran forward.
The person blocked my path and turned to face me.
It was Eunwoo.
“You’re disrespecting me!”
“You’re a Taoist, but you’re really too much.”
Sour again.
I couldn’t help it.
It’s a similar situation to yesterday.
I’m in a good mood, but Yeon-hwa is looking worried.
That alone makes me feel worse.
“Bo Ping, disciple Yanhua, step aside.”
An arrogant tone.
Yeonhwa stares at Eunuch for a moment.
“What is this, you’re looking down your nose at a former disciple!”
At that, Yan Hua lowered her head.
She stepped forward and punched him in the face.
Pow!
“Kuck!”
Ji Yun.
He was knocked back.
Yeon-hwa lifts her head and looks at me.
She looks worried again.
Worried about hitting him now.
“Don’t worry.”
I stroke his head to calm him down.
“You…… this asshole…….”
The way he staggered to his feet was bizarre.
“You, the one who’s trying to become a Daoist among the swordsmen, I can’t stand idly by.”
“What nonsense!”
“Come on. You don’t make sense.”
Eunuch bit his lip at my words.
I wanted to be patient, but I couldn’t.
Being a direct disciple is no more noble than being a Bo Ping disciple.
He’s just a disciple of Elder Huashan, so he’s a little bit better at martial arts.
However, Bo Ping is the one who is the head swordsman.
I can’t help but admire him, but I can’t help but look at him with such cold eyes.
Geum Jung-il was right.
The people at the checkpoint were more like the people at the city gate than those guys.
Yun Wu rushed forward.
“But I couldn’t win against the Yixiao Army yesterday.
Do you think you can defeat me alone?
I’m just a moth flying into a blazing fire.
Touro has already figured it out.
I can see where he’s going to strike, whether he’s fast or slow.
And just as he was about to parry and counterattack, someone shouted from behind him.
“Stop, Eunuch!”
The voice echoes through the smoke screen.
The voice made Eunwoo turn around with a cold glare.
It was the checkpoint’s action captain, Learned Jung.
“None of your business! This is a matter for the city gate and this guy.”
“Not the city gate, but the swordsmen who represent the city gate. In any case, that’s even worse.”
The time for a fight was lost.
He could neither lunge at Eunuch nor stand still.
He and Yeonhwa stepped aside, clearing a path for Eunuch to come at him.
She squared her shoulders and walked over to Eun-woo.
Seeing this, Eun-woo’s expression turned even more foul.
“Geum Jung-il, he said he liked you?”
Eunwoo flinched at my smirk.
He looked at me and said.
“So you like money too, huh?”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
I shook my head, and Eunwoo turned to Learned Jung.
“Like I said, I just said I liked Jin Zheng’er. It has nothing to do with his doctor, although the boss’s doctor will be his doctor.”
“So you want to fight us, then?”
“Not us. The Volcanoes don’t allow one against the many.”
“Then?”
“You and me.”
Ling Zheng chuckled and drew his sword.
“Yes, I was going to have to test my skills against you at some point.”
Hmph.
A cold sword light shone between them.
The air was stale.
“Come on. Foolish brat of the gate.”
“You haven’t changed your name since we first met. It’s boring.”
With a flash of light, the two began to clash.
