The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 168



Only Noblemtl

Episode 168

[A magical potion that contains a strange energy. Is it an elixir?]

The snake that sensed the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure came out of its sleeve and approached the box containing the elixir.

Meanwhile, Seolhwa opened the book and slowly turned the pages to read.

Although I had already memorized the contents of the book, I wanted to review the contents once more before learning martial arts.

‘After taking the elixir, the elixir’s energy is applied to the Imdokyang vein through the Great Circulation and spread to the twelve meridians, just like applying the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure to the veins of the entire body.’

After reviewing the secret formula and the path of energy once again, I closed the book.

[It’s a wall-dok ganggi. I’ve only seen a few people who have mastered this martial art. How is it that you have it?]

“I got this elixir from Shinto’s secret. This elixir too.”

[I don’t know if I’m just lucky or if I have a talent for attracting luck.]

“Let’s say it’s innate.”

Seolhwa opened the box and took out the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure.

It was something I asked Cheongun to give me when I left the family.

I felt grateful to Namgung Cheong-un for finally achieving the realm without using the Geumryongokhyeolbo.

‘I hope my father eats it.’

The fact that he didn’t take it even when he was in a hurry means that his father also wanted to give him this elixir.

‘Let me give you a better elixir.’

And let us eat this with a grateful heart towards our father.

Tub.

I ate the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure in one bite.

For a moment, my mouth felt like it was filled with bitterness, and then an unfamiliar energy began to pour into my body.

‘… .’

Seolhwa began to practice the method while breathing slowly.

‘So that the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure does not go to the Dantian. Slowly…’

Hooooooo… .

The dark green energy stopped before it could reach the dantian.

Seolhwa naturally gathered the energy that was gathering in the dantian and began to circulate it directly through the Imdokyang vein.

Whoosh… whoosh… !

“!”

It wasn’t easy to freely manipulate energy that wasn’t one’s own.

The energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure moved smoothly at times, but at other times it would run wild and then stop as if it were frozen like a stone.

The more this happened, the more slowly and painstakingly Seolhwa moved her energy.

As written in the book, I spread the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure all over the blood vessels.

The power of the Imoogi began to surround her blood vessels.

As if protecting the blood vessels of the snow flower, carefully guiding the energy of the movement.

Seolhwa continued her fortune with the help of Imoogi.

One week, two weeks… .

Until the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure is completely exhausted.

* * *

Phew… .

“… .”

Seolhwa, who had finished her training, opened her eyes.

It took thirty-two cycles of circling the heavens just to completely consume the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure.

But every time I repeated the fortune, I definitely felt the story.

The medicinal effects of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure are firmly permeating every part of his body.

Hooooooo-

The story lifted my spirits.

There was no need to surround oneself with energy like a self-defense weapon.

As I raised my internal energy, the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure that permeated every part of my body naturally began to harden.

It felt as if the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure was coming to life, as if a thin armor that had been sleeping inside my body was awakening.

Geumryongokhyeolbo is a powerful elixir that is originally good for detoxification.

‘The Wall Poisoning Technique is said to be a martial art that blocks the invasion of poison.’

This is the very definition of a wall-reading device.

Swoosh… .

[It was a martial art that could not be mastered at your level.]

“?”

[Isn’t it written in the book? To learn this martial art, you must at least know how to use the Self-Defense Force. The elixir’s energy is so strong that it could tear your blood vessels apart.]

“I knew it.”

The energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure is as toxic as it is strong in detoxification.

It is okay to create harmony when you accept the energy of the elixir and combine it with your own energy, but it is dangerous to try to create luck with that energy alone.

[And yet you tried?]

“Because you’re here.”

[What were you going to do if I didn’t come forward?]

“That didn’t happen. Why should I think about something that didn’t happen?”

In fact, I tried to use self-defense if it was dangerous, but that didn’t happen.

Because the snake protected the blood vessels and guided the energy.

Seol-hwa got up from her seat and stretched her stiff body here and there. The snake circled around her and made a hissing sound.

[Are you testing me?]

“I can’t say no.”

[Do you dare test my throne?]

Kookung… .

The cave rang.

The sound made small pieces of stone fall with a thud.

Seolhwa looked around the inside of the cave, absentmindedly brushing away a piece of rock that had rolled over her shoulder, and then looked at the snake.

“Then that won’t work?”

[What…?]

“You tested me too, so why can’t I do it too?”

[I am a being of a different class from lowly beings like you!]

Kukukung… .

“Whether you are lowly or noble, high or low, your life is the most important thing to all beings. I accepted you and gave you my life, so can’t you at least confirm it?”

[The words are eloquent. So, what have you confirmed?]

“I just wanted to make sure you wouldn’t leave me to die.”

In a situation where you would die if you didn’t help, it’s like he’s trying to save you by lending you his strength.

[Why do you want to check that? I have no intention of leaving you to die.]

“You never told me why you wanted to help me.”

[I told you, I just hope your wish comes true.]

Seolhwa picked up the sword.

“That’s all?”

[What more do you need? What more do you want to do?]

“Why do you want my wish to come true? After all, I’m just trying to cultivate myself.”

He drew his sword and took the knight’s stance.

[It’s just a game. For a being like me who lives for a very long time, there are times when everything becomes boring. I saw you during those times, and I was just interested.]

“Are you trying to protect me just to have fun?”

[Do you think it is easy for someone who knows everything about this world to find amusement? It is a very precious thing to find amusement in a time when everything is boring.]

“I see.”

[If you don’t want to die, put down your sword.]

“why?”

[Do you know how many days you’ve been exercising?]

“How many days have passed?”

[It’s seven days and seven nights.]

Seolhwa blinked.

Seven days and nights? Are you saying that it took two days just to absorb the energy of the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure?

‘Come to think of it.’

My hands were shaking.

Although he was full of energy thanks to his luck, it seemed that not being able to eat or rest properly was taking its toll on his young body.

“I need to rest.”

Seolhwa looked down at her sword with a regretful expression, licking her lips.

“There was something I wanted to do….”

[You are such a strange person. You like swords more than eating and sleeping.]

* * *

Self-sacrifice.

A presence was felt inside the cave.

Suddenly, Ling raised his head and looked at the passage leading inside.

After a while, Seolhwa appeared.

The spirit’s complexion quickly brightened and he ran towards Seolhwa in one go.

“Your Majesty! Are you safe?”

“Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.”

“No…! I’m fine. But, what was that noise just now?”

“Oh, I’m going to practice.”

Could this be called training to control the wrath of the Imoogi?

“What are all those things anyway?”

Seolhwa pointed to the back of the spirit.

There were loads of luggage piled up in cloth.

“Ah, the Black Cloud Ark has come. He said he brought food, clothing, and other things that must be reported to the Lotus Sutra.”

“report?”

Before coming here, I instructed the Black Cloud Ark to meet the forces marked with white dots.

Following that instruction, it would have been to report the results of the closest contacts.

‘Small forces will be incorporated without any major problems.’

You brought me something to eat instead.

I didn’t know it would take this long to learn the wall-reading technique, so I didn’t bring anything.

Perhaps because I knew that what was behind the spirit was food, my stomach growled.

“…!”

“hungry.”

“Oh, I’ll get ready quickly!”

Ling looked back at Seol-hwa with a slightly embarrassed expression and quickly ran to prepare the food.

* * *

“Your Majesty, are you planning to come down now?”

After eating and getting enough rest, the spirit asked.

Seol-hwa, who had been burying her face in the waterfall water, raised her head, shook off the water, and answered.

“Not yet. I’ll stay here a little longer.”

“Is there anything left to do here?”

“Because there is no better place to practice without being disturbed.”

Heukunbang will bring you food when the time comes, and there will be no one passing by.

“You don’t have to stand as Dharma Guardian anymore, so let the spirit move freely. You probably won’t be able to properly train while standing as Dharma Guardian. If you want, you can go down first.”

“No. I will go down with you, Master.”

“okay.”

Well, if you want to do that, it would be good to have some spirit left.

‘Slowly… .’

Seolhwa stretched her body here and there.

My body felt light after getting enough rest.

Seolhwa picked up her sword and walked back into the cave.

“Have a nice trip.”

Seol-hwa, who had come to the place where he was learning the art of poison, immediately drew his sword.

[What are you trying to do now?]

“Revival.”

[Revival?]

Instead of answering, Seolhwa stood still.

A red aura mixed with brain energy suddenly rose from her body.

Seolhwa, with her eyes tightly shut, slowly recalled her memories.

That moment when I was on the brink of death, surrounded by the grace of Whiwol.

The strength that I had pulled up at that time.

Seolhwa opened her eyes.

For a moment, a white light flashed in her red-tinged eyes.
