Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 124



Only Noblemtl

Episode 124. Unexpected Movement (4)

When Jang Ja-myeong flinched, Han-bin glanced around.

It was to check if there were other people around.

The servant disappeared for a moment to tidy up the room.

Hanbin continued speaking with a serious expression.

“Representative Jang.”

“yes.”

“What do you think is so evil?”

“Ah, so… … .”

“Just tell me frankly.”

“It’s a little strange rather than evil.”

“You think it’s strange?”

“Let me be honest. It seems like a deal between Hanam Jeongga and Habuk Pengga, but if you look closely, it’s a deal between Hanam Jeongga and Gongja. And all the profits go to Gongja, not Habuk Pengga.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Ja-myeong glanced at Han Bin.

Hanbin continued speaking, smiling as if nothing had happened.

“Of course. Why should I share my hard work with others? Right?”

Hanbin glanced at Seolhwa.

“Seolhwa, you think so too?”

Seolhwa, holding a piece of candy in one hand, nodded her head like a rock.

Then Seol-hwa looked at Jang Ja-myeong with a piece of candy in her mouth.

“Of course. Why are you sharing it? Think of it as holding a piece of candy in both hands, Rep. Jang.”

Jang Ja-myeong scratched the back of his head and asked the unexpected question posed by Seol-hwa.

“What do you mean? It’s a fairy tale.”

“If you don’t hold on to this candy tightly, someone will come and steal it from you one day. If there are two enemies, they might cut you in half to steal the candy.”

Seolhwa gripped the candy in her hands even tighter.

At that sight, Jang Ja-myeong waved his hand.

“Hey, no way.”

“Surely that’s how you catch people. That’s just how it is in Gangho, Congressman.”

After finishing speaking, Seol-hwa took a bite of the candy and glared at Jang Ja-myeong.

At that sight, Jang Ja-myeong flinched and turned his gaze towards Han Bin.

It was difficult for Jang Ja-myeong to handle the murderous aura that Seol-hwa emitted.

It would be easier to think of it as just a child staring at me, but sometimes when I felt a sense of murder, I was more scared of Seol-hwa than Han-bin.

Jang Ja-myeong met Han-bin’s eyes and continued speaking.

“That being said, what about the clause that says the contract will be established for generations at the end? Your Majesty, this is a complete slave contract.”

This was Jang Ja-myeong’s true heart.

No matter how much you look into history, this would be the first time that a contract was established over generations.

But this time, Hanbin answered with an indifferent expression.

“That’s a given.”

“Of course?”

“Think about it carefully, Assemblyman Jang. If it’s an incident like this, the head of the household will change, right?”

“That could be the case. Looking at the current state of the head of the household, it seems like he might step down from his position soon.”

“Yes, that’s the point. What if the next head of the family later refuses to sign the contract? Will Assemblyman Jang take responsibility?”

“Why should I… … .”

“Oh, come to think of it, three years was too short. Right… … . It was too short a period of time. I should have included a lifetime contract or a condition requiring the continuation of the family line… … .”

Jang Ja-myeong, startled by Han Bin’s monologue, waved his hand urgently.

“Oh, no, Your Majesty.”

“Do you understand now, Representative Jang?”

“What?”

“How much do I hate Congressman Jang?”

“Oh, I know. So please don’t misunderstand.”

The director nodded urgently.

Hanbin smiled brightly, seeming satisfied with the sight.

“Okay then. Get some rest while you’re at Hanamjeongga. Things will get a bit busier once you get to Cheonsujang.”

“Your Majesty, how many times did you just say?”

“Then, were you going to just play around like you did before? Now that you’ve adapted, you should start working. Do you know why people are born? Rep. Jang.”

“What do you mean… … .”

“The reason people are born is to earn a living. Congressman Jang, get in shape until you return to Cheonsujang.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin checked with the servant who had signaled that the room had been cleaned, and then disappeared.

Jang Ja-myeong’s face turned pale at the sight of Han-bin’s disappearing back.

How many times have you been on the brink of death?

It was only yesterday that I was marching for a thousand miles as if it were nothing, even though I had not enlisted in some frontier army.

The blisters on my feet from that time still haven’t healed.

Until this morning, I had spent the night without being able to do anything because I was treating Gaju Jeongmu-ryong.

No, have you ever lived a life worthy of a human being since you entered Cheonsujang?

For a moment, an unknown smile appeared on Jang Ja-myeong’s lips.

Seolhwa tilted her head at the sight and asked.

“Mr. Jang, why do you have that expression?”

“I feel good after thinking about it.”

Seol-hwa tilted her head and asked at Jang Ja-myeong’s proud expression.

“What makes you feel so good? You were in a death pose just a moment ago, Mr. Congressman.”

“Think about it, I’m three years old. The Hanam Jeong family has been around for generations. When I compare the two, I suddenly feel happy.”

“It’s been three years for me too, sir.”

“Haha, you caught it too.”

“Well, that’s right, sir.”

When Seolhwa nodded, Jang Ja-myeong smiled brightly and looked up at the moon high in the sky.

Jang Ja-myeong thought that the moon was unusually bright today.

Seol-hwa glanced at Jang Ja-myeong, who was smiling like that, and let out an invisible laugh.

‘Is happiness relative after all?’

It was also a question posed to Seolhwa herself.

* * *

A little later. The private practice room of the head of the Hanam Jeong family.

Hanbin quietly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to add a basic bookshelf.

Then she carefully took down the necklace around her neck.

As I closed my eyes and focused on the secret, each stroke began to break down, one by one.

[Basic]

The strokes broke apart and came back together repeatedly.

The title of the basic section flew away and became blank.

[ ]

Below the space, strokes were swirling around.

What Hanbin was seeing now was a very simple process.

But if someone was watching Hanbin, a scene that would have made him faint was unfolding around his body.

A transparent energy began to swirl around Hanbin, forming the shape of a dragon.

If you look closely, the energy looks like a water drop or a dragon’s scales.

However, if you look a little closer, you will be able to see that these are the knots that Hanbin has absorbed so far.

The spheres were swaying and creating a spectacular sight.

It was a different phenomenon from the Ogijowon or Samhwachwijeong that are mentioned in Gangho.

However, Hanbin quietly closed his eyes and focused on the scene unfolding in his head.

Hanbin now understood the phrase about adding a bookshelf.

What is the first thing you need to do to add a bookshelf to your bookshelf?

It would probably be a matter of undoing the strings that hold the bookshelf together.

In a word, it means decomposition.

This is exactly the process that Hanbin is watching right now.

How much time has passed?

The transparent energy that had been rippling around Hanbin’s body was sucked into his skin.

At the same time, words appeared before Hanbin’s eyes.

[Bookshelf added.]

When I looked at the Yongrin Sword Technique again, I saw that the title of the basic section had strangely changed.

[Basic Part II]

The steps have been raised.

So what is the next step?

Well, there was no relationship.

Then the words appeared again.

[It has been upgraded from Basic Edition to Basic Edition II. The number of Basic Edition items that can now be stored has increased to thirty.]

Hanbin, who checked the text, smiled invisibly.

Thirty years of internal energy that can be included in the basics of Yongrin Sword Technique in thirty years of your own internal energy.

The two combined had the power of one generation.

Of course, the only skills that can be confirmed by others are thirty years, so at least Oh Hal’s skills are hidden.

The words appeared again in Hanbin’s sight as he smiled.

[Basic Edition 2 is activated, increasing the number of Dragon’s Rhythm Sword Techniques that can be used simultaneously to three.]

“Oh my!”

Hanbin showed a deep smile.

In some ways, this was more welcome news than the fact that the number of knots that could be included in the basic version had increased.

Now, all the rewards for the Yongrin Sword Technique have been confirmed.

Hanbin quietly grabbed the necklace that was lying next to him.

Then she quietly opened the necklace.

Bam.

The necklace opened with a soft sound, and inside was a rolled up piece of oiled paper.

Hanbin carefully unwrapped the paper.

There, a rather ugly looking pill appeared, as if it were a paste of ointment.

“hmm.”

Hanbin coughed in vain after seeing the pill.

This was the Cheongmyeong-hwan that all martial artists coveted.

Hanbin, who had been looking at Cheongmyeonghwan for a moment, immediately poured the Cheongmyeonghwan into his mouth.

To anyone who saw it, it looked like he was pouring in some cheap pills he bought at a drugstore.

Hanbin quietly closed his eyes.

I felt the energy emitted by Cheongmyeonghwan, but I did not artificially push it into my blood vessels.

There was only one reason why he did not return to the past and practice the ascending method that Hanbin had learned in his previous life.

It was to learn the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong, which no one had been able to learn in the past.

There were only two characteristics of the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong that Dharma created.

The fact that a person who has artificially created a path through the blood vessels cannot master it.

In other words, those who have mastered the Ascension Method cannot master the Heaven and Earth One-Yeon Gong.

There is one more difficult hurdle to overcome.

That means the aerodynamics must be at least one gigabyte.

Are there more than one person who has not mastered the method of ascension?

What this means is that you have to make one gapja with only elixir.

Even if you take the elixir, you cannot fully accept it without the method of ascending.

Because of this, the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong, which is known but not practiced, was a burden to all martial artists.

After this method was discovered, the martial arts world was in an uproar for a while.

However, after it was known that there was no one who could master it, the unfortunate secret method that had been rolling around in a corner of the Jeongui-myeong Pavilion was none other than Cheonji Il-yeon-gong.

However, after returning to the past, the path was created by the Cheonsanhyeolrang’s Naedan and the Cheongmyeonghwan in front of me now.

Then why was Hanbin so obsessed with the method of Cheonjiilyeongong?

This was because, unlike other internal energy methods, it was a method that allowed one to breathe just by breathing.

It is said that when others practice the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong while holding a few pictures, they will have the effect of practicing the Cheonji Il Yeon Gong for twelve hours.

How long had it been since Hanbin closed his eyes?

When Hanbin opened his eyes again, the training room was bright.

This was not an illusion, but Hanbin’s eyesight had improved.

Hanbin stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and muttered quietly to himself.

“It was a little lacking.”

This was true.

I have acquired internal energy that is slightly less than the equivalent of one year of Gapja.

To be exact, it’s been fifty years since I gained twenty years of internal energy.

There are now exactly ten years left.

This was actually an expected result.

If he had used the secret method he had learned in his previous life, he would have gained at least thirty years of internal energy with the Cheongmyeongwan.

What he had told Jang Ja-myeong to prepare for was the harsh task of making elixir.

When I returned to Cheonsujang, the radish and other crops I had planted during that time would have effects comparable to elixirs.

That would fill the remaining ten years.

What if it doesn’t work?

It was simple.

All you had to do was make it and eat it until it was done.

Well, it would be better if there was a sect or family that would open the elixir.
