Episode 82 – The Heavenly Flower Goddess

Hyemin Party leader Park Jin-hyeon was truly outrageous.

None other than Dang So-hyang, who is learning medicine with bright eyes.

“Ah···! So what you’re saying, Master, is that the three passages of the spine are the paths through which energy flows for health?”

“Yes. The very bottom part of this-.”

“You said it was called the Tail Pass, right? The middle one was called the Nokrogwan, and the top one was called the Jade Pillow Pass. Are you saying that just by filling up the energy of these three Passes, most of the body can be restored?”

“That, that’s right. Especially the Okchimwan-.”

“You said it is connected to the brain, which controls mental activities.”

“······.”

But I couldn’t tell if this was teaching Dang So-hyang or what.

Park Jin-Hyeon served as the head of the Yakwangdang in the past Sacheondangmun. He had experience teaching and raising numerous doctors.

Among them, there were quite a few who were called ‘geniuses’ in medicine.

Here, the concept of a genius in medicine is different from the genius mentioned in ‘Mugong’.

Medicine was, after all, an ‘academic discipline’, so talent in medicine meant understanding, or in other words, intelligence.

Of course, it’s not that enlightenment isn’t important in martial arts.

In martial arts, enlightenment also plays an important role and is a talent in interpreting and accepting the true meaning.

However, in martial arts, physical talent became more important.

It was not easy to become great at martial arts just by having enlightenment.

However, in order to become great in medicine, ‘intelligence’ played a huge role, so if we only look at the importance, it could be said that in medicine, intellect is everything.

In other words, those who were smart were called medical geniuses, and Park Jin-Hyeon had the experience of meeting and teaching many geniuses while he was at Sacheondangmun.

If you taught one and knew two, you were considered an ‘ordinary person’. If you learned five or six things, you were considered a ‘genius’.

Park Jin-Hyeon was the first to call a rare person who awakened his passion a ‘genius’.

And that was the first time.

Dang So-hyang was teaching one thing and enlightening more than ten, or even a hundred.

This wasn’t something that Park Jin-hyun taught, but something that Dang So-hyang realized on her own.

I have never heard of such a genius.

It could be said that he had a truly genius-level intellect, and Dang So-hyang had an extremely poisonous body, so he could control all the poisons in the world.

And in medicine, poison is a very important element and can be seen as an inseparable relationship.

“My lord, if I use my paralytic poison, wouldn’t I be able to alleviate the suffering of the patients? The number of treatments I can use with it will be endless.”

As the saying goes, medicine and poison are only a sheet of paper apart. Medicine is no different from poison when used appropriately.

It was not for nothing that the Sacheon Tangmun, famous for his poison skills, became world-renowned for his medical skills. Tang So-hyang was not only good at poison skills, but could freely handle and control all the poisons in the world.

It has been said that true geniuses are never nurtured, but only ‘discovered’.

Park Jin-Hyeon was able to truly realize what a true ‘genius’ is.

That’s why Park Jin-hyeon didn’t have the confidence to teach Dang So-hyang, but surprisingly, Cheong-un was able to teach Dang So-hyang.

To be exact, dozens of books that Cheongun gave me.

It was nothing short of a divine art, and it was able to teach Tang So-hyang, the genius of the century, and help her genius blossom to the fullest.

Thus, the genius of Dang So-hyang’s enlightenment.

Dang So-hyang’s innate talent is extremely poisonous.

These two things were supplemented by the divine medical arts that Cheongun had passed on, and Dang So-hyang’s burning passion to help Cheongun was also added.

It was only natural that Dang So-hyang’s medical skills would grow explosively.

“How are you? Are you okay now?”

“Ha, it doesn’t hurt at all! Oh, how could this happen···!”

Dang So-hyang quickly cured the patients who came to Hye-min-dang.

It wasn’t at the level of treatment, but rather at the level of fixing, and they were fixing people just like fixing objects.

Of course, I was still clumsy and had a lot to learn when it came to the ‘trauma’ part. However, when it came to the ‘internal injury’ part, even Jin-Hyeon Park was amazed.

“It’s the priestess! The priestess has descended!!”

“Thank you, Goddess of Heaven!”

Heavenly Flower Goddess.

It was a word that people used to call Dangso-hyang at the time.

It was a nickname given to Tang So-hyang because of her beautiful appearance, which was like a single flower petal, and because her medical skills were said to be on par with those of a god.

Of course, it’s not that far yet.

Although it is acknowledged that Dang So-hyang’s medical skills were outstanding, they were not on the level of a god.

······But at this rate of growth, it seemed like it would happen soon.

So, it seemed that in about a year, Park Jin-Hyeon would be able to catch up with Dang So-Hyang in terms of skill.

In other words, it seemed that he would become the shortest-lived person to have to hand over the position of Hye-min Party leader in less than a year.

But what.

‘That wouldn’t be bad either.’

Retiring early didn’t seem like such a bad idea.

So, it seemed like a good idea to quickly hand over the leadership of Hye-min Party to Dang So-hyang and have Park Jin-hyeon focus solely on nurturing Hye-min Party’s successors.

Although Dang So-hyang wasn’t confident in teaching, she was confident in nurturing other geniuses.

In this way, Hyemin Party gradually became known, and it was said that it would travel a thousand miles without any legs.

“You said your back hasn’t been feeling well lately, right?”

“That’s right. I think it’s gotten worse recently because the logistics along the Yangtze River have become smoother and people are pushing too hard.”

“Then how about going to a place called Hye-min-dang that’s been making a lot of noise these days?”

“Hyemindang? Oh! Are you talking about the Cheonhwasinnyeo?”

“That’s right. I heard that there is no disease that cannot be cured!”

The fame of Hyemindang quickly spread beyond Gangseo Province to other regions.

* * *

In the blink of an eye, the merits accumulated over four months have passed.

[Conversion Merit] – 13 months 19 days (+2 months 7 days)

······Additionally, more than two months of merit had been accumulated.

No matter how you look at it, this amount was not something that could be accumulated through the automatic merit of the Jang Gang Hyeopgaekdan. But what other reason would there be for automatic merit to be accumulated besides the Jang Gang Hyeopgaekdan···?

“no way?”

A thought suddenly crossed my mind and I jumped up from my seat.

Then, Eungseon, who was dozing off next to me, flapped her wings in surprise. Then, Eungseon blinked her eyes and nodded.

I opened the door and walked straight in, leaving Eungseong behind me.

and.

“They say this place is so brave······”

“It’s not just a matter of strength. If the god takes a look and the priestess takes a touch, all illnesses will be cured.”

I could see the sight of a missionary office bustling with people.

To be exact, I could see people standing in line one after another, and there were so many of them that there was a huge crowd even outside the main gate of the missionary office.

It seemed like people from all over Oksan County had gathered, including people from our village, the village in front, the village behind, and the village next door.

And the end of the line of people standing.

“Please tell me what your symptoms are.”

There, Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon, now the head of Hye-min Party, was sitting, checking on the people’s conditions.

At first glance, it seemed like they were all patients who had come to Hyemindang.

In that sense, the patient sitting in front of Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon had a pale face and did not look to be in very good condition.

“It is······ It’s cold at night and hot during the day. After eating, I feel dizzy and my chest pounding and I feel suffocated.”

······I wondered what that meant at first.

Of course, the medical examination was almost always like that.

Before treating an illness, you had to know what kind of illness it was in order to treat it. The name of the illness had to be found out through a ‘questionnaire’ that asked the patient about symptoms, time of onset, course, etc.

However, it was impossible for patients who were ignorant of medicine to answer properly. Since they were often blind, their expressions were extremely difficult to understand.

So, from the perspective of the listening member, it is impossible to get a feel for it.

However, if the patient’s medical history is done roughly, the diagnosis itself can go in the wrong direction, so the medical history is the most important factor in diagnosis.

So, there is a reason why they say, “Finding out the cause of the disease is everything in treatment,” but at that level, it was more like a riddle than an inquiry.

But what the heck.

“Isn’t the stomach always full?”

“Ah···! That’s right.”

“If the stool is not digested properly, it will be loose and cause diarrhea, and urine will not come out properly.”

“Oh, yes!”

“It’s grain jaundice. It’s a type of jaundice that occurs when you don’t eat a balanced diet and only eat grains.”

Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon was able to diagnose the disease right away with just that mysterious questionnaire.

It was so miraculous that I wondered how it could have been done, it was truly a miracle that there was no such thing as a divine doctor.

“So-hyang, treat her with warm acupuncture and sand therapy.”

Dang So-hyang nodded slightly at Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon’s words.

It seemed like he was helping Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon from the side······.

“Your Majesty. Your Yin seems to be damaged by the cold evil, and you are said to experience dizziness when you eat food. Wouldn’t the use of Beohwangsanja (牛黃散子) be more effective than the use of Daewonjungchimsa (大溫中鍼砂)?”

“Hmm? Now that I hear it······ I guess what you said is right.”

At Dang So-hyang’s words, Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon nodded slightly. And I couldn’t help but be quite surprised by that sight.

‘The daughter of the party is already like that?’

That meant that even Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon acknowledged Dang So-hyang’s medical knowledge.

However, as far as I know, it hasn’t been that long since Dang So-hyang started learning medicine. It must have been about two weeks since Hye-min-dang was established and she started learning in earnest.

Of course, there must have been something that Dang So-hyang learned while she was at Sacheon Dangmun.

But it wouldn’t have been to that extent······.

As the saying goes, it would have been at the level of a dog reciting poetry for three years at a private school. It was definitely not at the level where I could give my opinion to my grandfather, Park Jin-Hyeon, who was called a divine doctor.

If that’s the case, then it means that it reached that level in just two weeks······. No, now that I look at it, it wasn’t to the extent of expressing an opinion.

Phew.

It seemed as if a thick poison was forming at the tips of Dang So-hyang’s fingers, and at her gestures, it seeped into the body of the patient she had just examined.

And then it was over.

“How are you?”

“Oh, it’s clear! Just a moment ago I was feeling dizzy and my heart was pounding and I felt suffocated, but now it’s not like that at all!”

With just one gesture from Dang So-hyang, the patient was cured.

“That’s fortunate. As the master said, grain disease is a disease that occurs when you don’t eat a balanced diet. So from now on, you should definitely eat a balanced diet. If you can’t afford it, it’s okay to cut down on grains. Got it?”

“Oh, I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you so much, Priestess!”

······There really was no priestess.

If you just touch her, all your illnesses will be completely cured. So she is a goddess. What exactly is a goddess?

And as I looked, it seemed like they were using poison to cure the disease.

I wondered how that was possible, but I had heard that poison and medicine were not very different.

Although I didn’t know much about medicine, I had heard that medicine was no different from poison when used appropriately.

Thanks to that, the cost of medicine is currently almost zero.

To treat an illness, one would have to use medicinal herbs, but instead, the poisonous energy of Tang Xiaoxiang was used, so it was almost like creating something out of nothing.

[Conversion Merit] – 16 months (+2 months 11 days)

So, the merits and virtues of Dang So-hyang were growing rapidly.

Like the Jang Gang Hyeopgaekdan, there was no merit more certain than saving a person’s life, which was accumulated in units of months rather than days.

Thus, a large number of people formed a crowd outside the main gate of the missionary office, beyond Hyemin Hall.

‘At this rate······.’

It seemed like I could collect it quickly.

The internal energy needed to learn the Heavenly Sword Technique. In other words, it seemed like I could buy the Immortal Elixir that had the growth effect of the Supreme Elderly Army right away.

What’s more, the newly established Hye-Min-Dang was in this state.

This was the extent of the merit gained by Hyemindang, which had only been open for about two weeks.

Even that was almost handled by Dang So-hyang alone, and the merits were to this extent, so what if we nurture more Hye-min Party members in the future?

Soon, doctors will be trained based on the divine medical techniques of Pyeonjak and Geonan Samshinui.

Based on that, if we gradually expand the scale of Hye-min-dang, set up treatment centers throughout the Yangtze River Swordsman Corps, and kidnap… no, take the sick people along the Yangtze River and treat them, how much merit would that have?

At that time, automatic merit could be accumulated not in units of months, but in units of years.

There were so many sick people in the world that it was hard to say anything like that, so there was no need to worry about the merits drying up.

The automatic merit of the Jangganghyeopgaekdan and the automatic merit of the Hyemindang.

It’s no joke, but I wonder if I could continue to purchase the elixir of the Supreme Elder with just automatic merit.

Just like eating a snack when you’re hungry, you might be able to eat Taesang Laojun’s elixir of immortality just with your own merits.

Seriously······.

[Conversion Merit] – 19 months and 3 days (+3 months and 7 days)

Every time I saw the automatic merits accumulating, my heart leaped with joy.

* * *

Sichuan Tang Gate, located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

The head of the Sacheon Dangmun clan, Dangbaekgun, listened quietly to the commander-in-chief’s report.

This is none other than the rumor related to ‘Hyemindang’ that has been causing a stir in the world recently.

“According to information from the patrol party, Hye-Min-Dang does not charge any medical expenses.”

The Patrol Department was an organization in charge of ‘information gathering’ at Sacheon Dangmun.

An important organization that monitors and investigates the movements of Gangho and provides necessary information to Sacheondangmun.

Although it may not reach the level of ‘information power of openness’, it can be said that it is by far the best among the five major generations······.

“Ugh······!”

Still, Tang Baek-gun couldn’t easily believe it.

Sacheon Dangmun also focused on medicine, so they knew better than anyone how absurd it was not to charge for treatment.

Medicine is an academic discipline that does not cost a lot of money to learn or practice.

That’s why Tang Baek-gun couldn’t believe it.

As rumors tend to be exaggerated, no matter how much information the patrolmen had gathered, there was no guarantee that it was all true.

but······.

“According to additional information from the patrol party, Hye-min-dang is a place run by Hwa-ryong Dae-hyeop.”

Fire Dragon Great Swordsman.

With that name, Dang Baek-gun could not have any doubts. The name Hwa-ryong-dae-hyeop had the power to make even absurd rumors seem true.

If that was true, then the rumors were all true, and that made Dangbaekgun even less able to believe it.

“You said, ‘Cheonhwashinnyeo······’”

This also meant that the rumors about the Heavenly Flower Goddess were true.

According to rumors, the Heavenly Goddess was a young woman who had just entered her prime.

Not only was her medical skill of curing people a skill, but there were rumors that countless men fell in love with her at first sight and became lovesick because of her beauty.

She is a beauty with unrivaled beauty that is hard to find in the world.

So according to the patrol party’s information······.

“Is it really true that the Heavenly Goddess is So-hyang?”

The rumored Heavenly Flower Goddess was actually Dang So-hyang, the biological daughter of Dang Baek-gun, who was thought to have died a long time ago.

“What should I······do?”

The governor responded with a question instead of an answer.

After much thought, Dang Baek-gun slowly got up from his seat.

“I must go to Hye-min-dang myself. And if it is indeed the Heavenly Goddess So-hyang······.”

Tang Baek-gun did not finish his last words.
