“Mixed…?”

“Hmm….Where should I start explaining this…”

Doki nibbled his appetite for a moment and started talking.

“How much do you know about blood and energy veins?”

“If you say that…how many people know exactly what blood vessels and energy vessels are?”

“Huh, I was surprised when we discussed new martial arts earlier, but you are very knowledgeable. In fact, blood vessels and energy vessels are completely different things. In principle, the term ‘gimaek’ does not exist in the first place.”

In fact, I had no choice but to do a lot of research and consideration about what energy is.

I was a modern person after all, and I came from a world without energy, so I needed to understand what energy was.

One of the key elements of Qi is circulation. Qi is ultimately a type of energy, and energy is bound to circulate in some way. Neigong is what gives this circulating energy called energy a specific characteristic and holds it in the body.

“First of all…you have a lot of demon energy in your body. And the reason I can detect such demonic energy is because I have learned demonic energy.”

I took a deep breath. I found out that the wife of the party, famous for her righteousness, had mastered magic.

“The reason I learned magic…it’s because I’m bald.”

“…Yes?”

“For your information, Daeju Pungyeong is also bald. We all belong to the Society of the Sun. I also know that you and your female ronin are the ronin who insulted the head of the money singer Dajeoyong.”

The information that suddenly poured out made me look at my wife’s head without realizing it. Since he was covering his head with a robe, I thought he was keeping his hair from falling out like a famous congressman… was he bald? No, what is more surprising is the fact that Great Lord Feng Yeong is bald.

“You might be wondering why I’m suddenly telling this story, but I… Some magic users studied and learned magic by focusing on symptoms such as their arms or chest being covered with hair or hair growing long. I am saying that there is no lawmaker in this world who knows magic better than me. Which congressman would have learned magic on his own? That’s something even the devil couldn’t do.”

“Do you understand? Even if what I say from now on is strange, there is no doctor in the world who can interpret your body better than me.”

“Ah…I understand.”

Doki poured water into a bowl and put a bunch of unknown fruits on top.

“This is the state of your veins right now. These fruit-like lumps are floating in your blood right now. okay. Have you ever tried making a dam out of pebbles or stones to catch fish? A state in which water can pass, but fish cannot.”

“Do you mean that’s the state of my blood right now?”

“That’s right. I don’t know who put your blood in this state, by what method, and for what purpose, but it is in a very bad state. To express your condition more accurately…”

Dok-ui continued to pour fruit into the bowl. The bowl is literally filled with fruit.

“The lumps are moving around in your blood, and there is a gap large enough for airway circulation, but there is no gap large enough for the Qi to accumulate inside you. So, even though your capabilities are already top-notch, you can’t cause a surge in energy.”

“So…huu…are you saying my blood vessels are full of impurities?”

“Actually, since this is my first time seeing this phenomenon, I don’t know if I should call the things filled with your blood impurities. It can be said that the effect is different from the phenomenon that martial artists usually say about waste matter being stuck in the air or blood vessels.”

I felt dizzy, perhaps because I suddenly received too much information. Doki brought teaware, gave me a cup, and poured me a drink.

“Well, it’s just water made with a bunch of common herbs, but it has a soothing effect. Sometimes, when I get frustrated because my research is blocked, I drink a glass of wine.”

In silence, I took a sip of my poison and a cup of hot tea and drank it down little by little. 1 Da-kyung. Time to cool down and drink a cup of hot tea. I don’t know how many minutes actually passed while I was drinking a cup of tea, but as I was drinking the hot tea while it cooled down, my mind felt like it was calming down as well.

I thought they were going to use a truly outrageous method called poison, and that it would be enough to just treat them… No, it’s a bit hard to say that they were already sane after drinking the blood.

“Yes. Have you calmed down?”

“Yes. Elderly.”

The existence of this body I am writing about, Hocheonan, is still a mystery. Could Hocheonan be a body that was used by another soul until the age of 15? Then why was I suddenly possessed, where did the memories go, and why did I wake up in the grass? Or is it just a body that was created when I fell into this world of martial arts? If the body was created, why did it do such a complicated thing?

My mind was filled with questions that I couldn’t come to any conclusion if I thought about them right away, but I was able to set my priorities while drinking a cup of tea.

Since I don’t know what happened before my memories and have no clues, I decided to focus on what needs to be resolved first.

“So, are my symptoms treatable?”

“Hmm. Okay, let’s talk about the particles floating in your blood again. First of all, there are so many different energies inside your body. What I can know for sure is that there is good energy and demonic energy in the particles in your body.”

“You mean Seon-gi and Magi?”

“The number of Seongi grains does not seem to be large, but the Magi grains seem to be quite numerous.”

In the world of martial arts, there are so many properties of energy that it is impossible to specify anything. Shall we give you an example? There are relatively common internal skills such as the Yeoyanggong used by the money singer Dajeo-yong, as well as the poisonous internal skills used by the poisonous Dang Dok-ryeol.

Seongi and Magi are somewhat different from these general internal skills. In the case of seongi, it refers to a state of high purity in which the energy has been refined and purified to extract only the essence.

Natural energy is not pure energy.

Natural energy is just like a collection of commonly occurring energies. Just as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc. are mixed in the atmosphere.

To use an analogy, the air can be said to be air with a very high oxygen content. In terms of food, is it a friend like sugar or sap? It can be said that it is well processed so that it can be immediately converted into calories.

Magi, on the other hand, is just…a hodgepodge.

This is the opposite of the idea of blindly increasing the amount. To compare it to food, it would be like corn porridge mixed with sawdust or turnip soup filled with tree bark. It is easy to obtain, but it is harmful to the body.

After thinking this far, I couldn’t help but have one question.

“Is that…possible?”

No, does it make sense for Magi and Seongi to move around together in my body? When the two meet, shouldn’t they neutralize each other?

“I also wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen you. haha. A body where good and evil energy coexist… no, blood. So, haven’t I drunk a bowl of your blood?”

“Is that so.”

“There is a high possibility that your constitution, or more precisely, your blood, has some peculiarity. First of all, having energy dissolved in blood itself is not normal. As I said before, energy and blood pressure are completely different things.”

“Okay…so…is treatment possible?”

“We should research that now.”

My heart relaxed at Dok-ui’s words.

“But there is a temporary solution that can be effective.”

“..What is it?”

“The elixir in your arms. Can you show it to me?”

Are you talking about the Okju Jaryeongdan? He took out the wooden box of the Okju Jaryeongdan in his arms and handed it to Doki.

“Hmm. Can I taste it by poking it with a needle?”

“Of course.”

Doki, who pierced his needle and tasted the Jade Juryeongdan, nodded.

“This might solve part of your problem.”

My heart was pounding. I tried to control my excitement by taking deep breaths. This is an increase in status for the first time in 8 years. Of course, I couldn’t help but be excited.

“It looks like this pill was obtained from some secret place, right? No, that’s not important. It is important that this hwandan contains a small amount of good energy.”

“I have found several common elixirs. Among them, there seems to be some that are thought to contain good energy.”

Doki laughed empty-handedly.

“I don’t doubt what you say, but I find it hard to believe that Shenki obtained the young elixir. Above all, we will use a method that is completely opposite to the general air defense operation.”

“What do you mean by the exact opposite?”

“Why do you usually take elixirs? Isn’t it about hoarding that energy and turning it into your own strength? To do that, you need time to make the elixir your own. Because of this, elixirs slowly dissolve and release energy little by little.”

“But I will explode this elixir in your body at once. Then, a wave of energy like a tidal wave will sweep over your energy system, and the demonic energy mixed in your blood will also clash very strongly with the spiritual energy. The blood seems to have lumps of demonic energy gathered together in a fairly stable form, but it is not strong enough to withstand that level of impact.”

I swallowed dry saliva.

As I said before, I had already tried several elixirs. As Dok-ui said, an elixir is a product designed to release energy as slowly as possible. But even if you eat those things, it usually puts a lot of strain on your body.

Normally, the amount of energy that could be obtained by consuming one elixir was an amount that had to be accumulated through fortune-telling over a period of several years at the most, or even decades at the longest.

If you try to gain that amount in one day, it will put a huge strain on your body no matter how slowly you release your energy.

But pouring it into your body all at once?

“That…there won’t be any side effects?”

“It will not be life-threatening or cause permanent injury.”

Doki smiled empty-handedly.

“Who am I? Before he was a member of the National Assembly, he was a leader in the party’s venomous tactics. There is no one in this world who knows better than me how much resistance the human body has to energy and when it is destroyed. There is a high possibility that you will suffer internal injuries or strain your energy and energy systems, but I will treat you completely.”

“After…”

Treatment that presupposes injury. It was a situation that made me laugh out loud, but…

“I will.”

I couldn’t just throw away the opportunity to be a genius.
