Episode 775: Could this be a pet’s egg?
“What could be bad? If something happens, the Mangwol tribe will know and come after us. If they come after us, we just have to kill them and that’s it. If we back down this time, we’ll back down again the next time we meet. We’ll lose all our good resources and our chance to become stronger. When that happens, we’ll either die by the hands of the Mangwol tribe or by the hands of another strong enemy. Anyone who stops us from becoming stronger is a murderer who’s trying to kill us, so there’s no need to forgive them.
Isn’t it a hassle? Haha, when have we ever been like that? Take it easy. No matter how much trouble you’ve caused, I’ll be behind you. If I can’t hold out, then just die with my brothers. We can die, but we must not lose our invincible will. Once we’ve chosen this path, we can never back down. Once we do, we can never go back.
From now on, the path of training of our Dragon Blood Corps is an invincible path. We can die, but we cannot be weak. All warriors of the Dragon Blood Corps are my brothers. No matter who gets into trouble, we will bear the burden together. So, Gwak Yeon, do not be afraid. If anyone touches you, I will kill you. Our Dragon Blood Warriors do not need to fear anyone. If someone touches us, I will kill them even if their father is a god.”
Yongjin patted Kwak Yeon on the shoulder and spoke in a serious voice.
“I understand, Captain.”
Kwak Yeon nodded. When he learned of Yong Jin’s heart, he admired him even more. There is no one in the world with such great generosity other than Yong Jin.
No matter how strong Yongjin became, he maintained his pure heart (a proverb meaning a heart that is not tainted by the world).
Kwak Yeon was the first person to follow Yong Jin, and now he has reached the latter stage of the Seoncheon-gyeong and has become a second-ranked celestial practitioner. His powerful skills and broad vision changed his mind without him even realizing it.
I became more and more absorbed in what I had, enjoying the accomplishments. Eventually, I became afraid of losing what I had, and I had more and more things to think about.
However, Yongjin was the same. Gwakyeon felt embarrassed. At the same time, he thought that he should not lose his original intention like Yongjin.
Yongjin nodded and smiled. Kwak Yeon was a smart person. Although he may have been superficial, his understanding was outstanding.
Yongjin patted Kwakyeon on the shoulder. Now that he knew, there was no need to say anything else. The two walked forward. Soon after, they discovered a hole that looked like it had been dug out of the ground.
“Were you trying to dig a well?”
Kwak Yeon said with a surprised face.
“What about the well? It must have been used to dig for treasure.”
Yongjin said bluntly.
“Are you digging for treasure?”
Kwak Yeon said with a look of incomprehension.
“I’ve heard stories about Chungdo from the So tribe. This Chungdo was originally a huge testing ground. However, there was a powerful formation inside, so the So tribe’s strongmen could not enter and could only watch from afar. Now it has turned into a wasteland, but according to them, Chungdo was originally a dense forest.
Originally, all the test sites on Chungdo were guarded by bone-piercing bloodworms, and it was said that in order to obtain the treasure, the bone-piercing bloodworms had to be defeated. However, now the entire island has become desolate, and there is not even a trace of the bone-piercing bloodworms. The So people think that Chungdo has become desolate because there are no guards. They believe that the bone-piercing bloodworms ate all the resources on the island, destroyed this place, and then moved to other places to reproduce.”
Yongjin continued speaking while looking at the desolate Chungdo.
“But somehow I have a feeling that this place is strange. I can’t explain exactly what is strange, but…”
“Captain, what do we do now?”
Kwak Yeon asked.
“I’ll find out the new way.”
Yongjin explored the underground with his soul power.
After going down about a hundred feet straight along the tunnels dug by the strong, he discovered that the underground was in the shape of a honeycomb. Yongjin was astonished. By some force, the underground was densely tangled with cave-like things.
There were various gates, but they were all destroyed. The underground world had become like a tangled rat hole.
“Oh, there’s something down here.”
Yongjin, who had descended to the ceiling, was surprised to find a jade box buried in the dirt in a cave.
“I see. If you follow this tunnel, you’ll find the jade box. Those guys knew how to detect treasure underground.”
Yongjin said with a look of realization on his face.
“I’ll look inside their space rings to see if there’s anything like that.”
Kwak Yeon’s face suddenly brightened and he quickly took out the space ring of the Wangwol tribe’s strong man.
“No, there’s no need. I can verify this with my new method. My new method is more useful than any other magical tool. Come on, let’s dig it up together. Let’s see what’s inside the jade box.”
After finishing speaking, Yongjin reached out and dug a hole.
“Captain, don’t touch me. I’ll do it.”
As soon as Kwak Yeon finished speaking, he took out a drill.
The long stick about a foot long flashed a sharp light. Gwakyeon held it and smiled.
“After digging a hole with great difficulty at Jeilbyeolwon last time, I prepared a top-quality chandu in advance in case the captain asked me to dig another hole.”
As soon as Kwak Yeon finished speaking, a light came on in the huge chandelier and it began to rotate rapidly.
Kwak Yeon jumped into the air holding the bowl and dove into the cave entrance as if he was falling into water.
While Yongjin was unable to close his mouth, the guy quickly arrived at the spot Yongjin had designated and dug up the jade box.
As soon as they opened the jade box, a stinging smell spread. Yongjin and Gwakyeon were startled by the poisonous air and quickly closed their pores and retreated.
Yongjin later looked inside the box. Inside the jade box was a fist-sized pill. There were numerous spots on it, and the stench was coming from the spots.
“Could this be a pet’s egg?”
Kwak Yeon said in surprise.
“I think so. The egg has gone rotten because too much time has passed.”
Yongjin made a dumbfounded expression. Even if he was unlucky, wasn’t it too bad?
“Gwakyeon, throw away that egg. But that jade box is a treasure.”
“yes.”
Kwak Yeon didn’t want to touch it, but because Yong Jin said that the jade box was a treasure, he picked it up and threw away the eggs inside.
“shit!”
Yongjin got angry when he saw Gwakyeon throw the egg at his feet and quickly ran backwards.
pop.
As soon as the egg came out of the jade box, it grew quickly, and as soon as it hit the ground, it broke open and released green juice. The green juice sprayed everywhere as if a bomb had exploded.
Kwak Yeon was caught off guard by the sudden situation, and his whole body was covered in green juice. Even though his pores were closed, the stench was nauseating. It was a sour smell that made you wonder how many years it had been rotting.
Yongjin was lucky that he escaped quickly and didn’t get splashed with the green sap that looked like shit. Yongjin started swearing at Gwakyeon who was just standing there dumbly.
“Why are you just standing there blankly instead of washing up quickly?”
Only then did Kwak Yeon come to his senses, take out a water jug from the space ring, and start washing it like crazy. However, no matter how thoroughly he washed it, the sour smell was so strong that it could be smelled from three thousand miles away.
“Captain, isn’t that too much? You should have told me in advance.”
Kwak Yeon changed into clean clothes, but his body still smelled.
“Are you an idiot? What kind of pet’s egg is that big? Can it hatch that size? There was a section inside that jade box bigger than your face. Even if you couldn’t see it, you could feel the spatial ripples, right? You almost buried me too, and you still blame me?”
Yongjin said bluntly.
I tried to quickly put the items away because I didn’t like the smell, but it ended up on my body instead, so now the smell will only go away after a few days. It was hard work because Yongjin had to smell it too.
Closing the sense of smell and pores lowers the sense of smell, so it was impossible to keep them closed outside. Keeping them closed for a long time was like inviting death.
“Oh my goodness, this is truly a treasure. This section will be very useful.”
Gwak Yeon, who was observing the departments inside the jade box, opened his eyes wide as if he had an idea to create another organization.
“Okay, let’s pack up and move on.”
Yongjin continued to walk forward with Gwakyeon. Caves could be found here and there, and they all looked old.
It seemed that many strong people had come and gone here. Yongjin was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that there were no secrets here, not even any treasures to be discovered.
“There’s a box under here.”
After walking a few li, Yongjin detected another box.
Without a word, Kwak Yeon dug in the direction Yong Jin pointed out. While Kwak Yeon was digging, Yong Jin looked around.
Since this place was originally a test site, logically, the bloodthirsty insects guarding this place should not have been able to escape like the king of Jamjeomju.
However, not only did the bloodthirsty insects here all escape, but the entire island was destroyed. The original training caves were dug up like rat holes, and now everyone comes here to dig up the buried treasures.
Could it be that Daejeon had destroyed the entire island’s formation? Yongjin felt uneasy for some reason.
“Haha, captain. Here’s a present.”
Kwak Yeon smiled and handed over a jade box.
“I hope I’m not so unlucky as to get another rotten egg.”
Yongjin looked at Okham as he spoke bluntly.
Feeling doubtful, he placed the jade box far away and opened it with his spiritual power.
Bam.
Fortunately, there was no foul odor in the open jade box. Instead, there was one bead that gave off a fragrant smell.
The beads, the size of a baby’s fist, had a lustrous sheen like jade and were filled with spiritual energy. They gave off a mysterious but not poisonous scent, so smelling them made me feel very comfortable.
“Captain, can I use a bead to spread fragrance on my body?”
When an item that could remove the bad smell appeared, Kwak Yeon was delighted and said:
“No, this is the Nine-Colored Incense. It is the inner tablet of the Seventh-Grade Demon Beast, the Nine-Colored Incense Deer. This is an item that female practitioners treasure as if it were their life. The essence inside this inner tablet makes the faces of female practitioners look younger. If Wan-er finds out that you have been carelessly using this treasure, he will tear you to pieces. And I will tear you to pieces too.”
Yongjin said with a smile.
“Is this thing so scary? Does it have the same effect as the legendary Zhuanyan?”
Kwak Yeon was surprised.
“Its efficacy cannot be compared to that of Ju-an-gwa. Ju-an-gwa is effective just by taking it without any processing. However, Gumi-sa-hyang must be refined into Ju-an-dan (駐顔丹) by extracting the essence of Neidan to be effective. Do you know how scary a woman’s obsession with beauty is? The more beautiful the woman, the more intense the obsession. Why do so many female practitioners spend their longevity and training to maintain their youth? If even the Great Leader of the Order had not maintained his beauty, he would have already entered the realm of the king.”
Yongjin said.
“Captain, then if you refine the Juandan in the future, can you give me a few? Haha.”
Kwak Yeon said, looking a little embarrassed.
