Chapter 99 (1/2)

Byeok Tae-san had been looking around the place where Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were hard at work, making medicine. He had been given the widest garden near the hall where he was staying, and the place was full of medicinal herbs.

Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were diligently slicing medicinal herbs with small heads. Apparently, he hadn’t even trimmed half of the herbs he had piled up. In addition to this, on the edge of the garden were seven pots over the fire.

Two lawmakers from Cheon Yakbang were vigorously stirring the pot with a spatula. Byeok Tae-san was surprised at how quiet the garden was. Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai kept their mouths shut and focused only on shaving, unlike usual.

When Byeok Tae-san took a step into the garden, exuding a sense of presence, Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai turned their heads at the same time to look at him.

“Uh? Confucius!”

“What are you doing here?”

The two stopped what they were doing and stood up from their seats. Now, the attitude towards Byeok Tae-san had become very natural. It definitely felt like he was being taken care of.

“Uh?”

The Sunchimma who got up from his seat widened his eyes. He stared blankly at Cheon Chushinui with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

The Invaders couldn’t answer.

“Why are you doing this? Are you doing this on purpose to make me feel frustrated?”

“Stay still.”

Ilchimkai stared at Byeok Tae-san.

“Brother, are you crazy? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? If you stare at me, your eyes are strange, so I feel bad.”

At one point, the monster turned his head and looked at Cheon Chushinui. However, he didn’t say anything and looked back at the wall Tae-san. He had already said that he was prepared to get hit, but the reaction of the Invasion had not been so great, so because of this, he became even more puzzled and curious.

“Oh, I’m really curious, why are you doing this? Brother, what is it?”

Meanwhile, Byeok Tae-san walked slowly and stood in front of the two of them.

“There are a lot of herbs.” At Byeok Tae-san’s words, Cheon Chushinui almost cursed. Someone ordered this and it became like this, but what if the person who ordered it said something like that?

However, Cheon Chushinui persevered. There was not much left, anyway. Now one just had to be a little more patient. Byeok Tae-san read such a sign of devotion to Cheon Chushinui and stared at him.

“Why, why are you like this, Confucius?”

“I feel like I’m going to buy it and hit it.”

“Hey, honestly, have I ever had an accident? Looking back, I have never had an accident.”

Cheon Chushinui said this as he lowered his voice as much as possible and added a word.

“All accidents were done by Confucius.”

Hearing this, Byeok Tae-san smiled and looked at Cheon Chushinui. His heart seemed to sink as soon as his eyes met Tae-san’s.

“You don’t know what the real accident was.”

“No, it’s okay if I don’t know about it. Even if you don’t show it, you won’t doubt Confucius’s abilities. Cancer.”

At this, Cheon Chushinui quickly changed the topic. “By the way, brother, why are you still doing this? Where are you sick?”

He then put his finger on the head next to him and turned it round and round. However, the Ilchimkai didn’t even look at Cheon Chushinui at all.

His gaze was fixed only on Byeok Tae-san.

“Sir. if…” The scoundrel took out his words very carefully. “Have you ever built up your skills?”

Byeok Tae-san nodded. “Well, I made a little bit of it as a test.”

Cheon Chushinui looked at Byeok Tae-san and Ilchimkai with an expression that he did not understand the English language. The explanation of the Invasion was followed.

“Obviously, until a few days ago, even looking at Confucius, I could not understand anything. Either there is no internal skill at all, or the level is so high that I can’t figure it out.”

Cheon Chushinui’s expression turned slightly serious. “I honestly thought it was the latter. The things that Confucius showed us… It’s so unbelievably great…”

The Ilchimkai continued speaking with a confused expression. “But now, the realm of Confucius can be clearly seen. So, I just have to ask… Wasn’t there really no such thing in the past?”

Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. “Is it that important?”

Byeok Tae-san’s body, who had said so, suddenly disappeared completely. The eyes of the chimpanzee were as bright as a fire. Once again, there was a void.

This time, it was much larger than the original. The void increased so quickly that it soon became incomprehensible, and he escaped the sense of one invasion. By visually confirming the process of increasing the inner hole, one could clearly see the difference between having no inner hole at all and being unaware of it.

“Oh…!”

Cheon Chushinui gained a small realization through only one change in its senses. It coincided with a topic that had been consistently held for a long time.

The Invasion Monster fell into a state of trance in an instant. Ilchimkai looked at him with an envious expression. Then, quietly standing next to him, he bowed his head slightly to Byeok Tae-san. When Byeok Tae-san saw this, he grinned and went out of the garden.

* * *

Ilchimkai slowly opened his eyes. A whirlwind of weak energy swept around his body. It felt as if his power supply was about to explode. The inner cavity was tightly compressed and filled the danjeon.

If one were to continue to practice as it was, their field would jump as the danjeon were to grow.

“Brother, are you out of your mind?”

At one point, the monster turned his head and looked at the god of heaven. He looked at the sky and saw that it was black.

The journey of enlightenment that started in the morning ended at night. And until then, Cheon Chushinui had protected him.

“Hmmm. I didn’t know it would take this long. Have you been standing there all day?”

Cheon Chushinui put on an absurd expression on the words of the Invasion. “What nonsense? Haru. It’s been two full days since you closed your eyes.”

“What?” The Ilchimkai looked at Cheon Chushinui with an absurd expression.

However, he thought that it might be because he remembered the sensations in Danjeon now. In addition to this, he felt sorry and thankful.

It was because the god had been protecting him for two days.

“Anyway, how are you feeling? My strength is pulsing, but…”

“Hey heh, heck. what… It did get better.”

“Okay. Anyway, I thought my eyes were going to collapse right away. Now, can’t you just take care of all the herbs?” Cheon Chushinui said this as he giggled.

The scoundrel screamed in annoyance. “Hey, you bastard! Why are you trying to pass it all on to me again? Don’t you know that you really hate to let me go?”

After yelling like that, I coughed a few times with a look of embarrassment. “Hey heh, heck. what… Thank you.” Cheon Chushinui giggled again at the words of the Invasion.

“Thank you… Oh, herbal medicine?”

“Oh, really!”

The scoundrel was furious again, but in the end, he laughed out loud.

“Did nothing happen while I was doing this?”
