*** ***

The palace lord and his wife, as well as myself, ran to the scene as if flying.

And what I saw at that scene.

A black cat and Sarah holding hands and touching their foreheads.

And it was a huge cold wind that turned a dozen radius areas into an ice and snow field.

“Why is this happening! Why is Sarah here and what is this phenomenon…!”

“Well, that is…!”

Rano Jingbu was very alert and urged the people around him.

I also quickly found Yeo Il-ye. Of all the people presumed to have been at the scene, Yeo Il-ye was the best, so she probably knew the most about the situation.

“Yeoilye Sojeo! What happened now?”

The answer came from Tang Xiaoyeol.

“Be quiet. And the palace lord, please be quiet too.”

The party’s sharp tone of speech overwhelmed the left.

“The taeum is giving order to the oral sounds.”

“If you know anything about this situation, explain everything!”

“The black cat inside me was born with a constitution called lunar delay. Taeeum is the basis of all yin energy. It would not be strange if oral sounds could also be handled.”

“Such nonsense…! How could that little girl handle the energy in Sarah’s body! It has to be stopped immediately!”

“What doesn’t make sense?”

“Do I really need to say how difficult it is to handle other people’s energy!”

“It’s someone else’s energy. You’re speaking as if the voice belongs to that child named Ranosara.”

There was no hesitation in the words of the Party Soyeol. The merciless way of speaking without adding a single ounce of consideration or pretense was literally like pouring cold water on the person.

And that way of speaking was helpful at this moment. Even my embarrassment and anger cooled down and made me face reality.

“Was the child able to handle speech? Just storing it seemed daunting. It’s just that Taeeum will handle the oral sounds that don’t belong to anyone.”

Lano Jingbu, who was looking at Tang Xiaoyeol, let out a long sigh.

“Ha, what kind of disaster is this…!”

“Don’t just look at it negatively. In the end, isn’t the sound of the mouth being discharged to the outside like this?”

“…So Sarah is being cured now?”

Party Soyeol’s answer was rational and cold.

“It changes according to the order given by the taeeum. You will have to see the results to see whether the change will be positive or negative.”

Both Tang Xiaoyeol and the palace lord remained silent. I also looked around, keeping my eyes on the black cat. The magnificent wave of energy spreading throughout Podalap Palace and even the cold wind. A lot of monks are flocking here one after another.

hmm.

If Sarah’s situation worsens here, she will probably just die.

Yeo Il-ye, Dang Do-yeon, and Oksul were already worried about whether I was the only one who was worried.

I envied Tang Xiaoyeol’s thick nerves, as if he wasn’t worried about the current situation and only focused on the black cat.

Ssss!!

The chill surrounding the black cat and Sarah was causing organic changes, gradually expanding and contracting as if they were living creatures.

A ten radius radius is filled with dry ice-like energy, so only two dolls can be seen.

Everyone held their breath and watched the change for a long time.

Finally, meaningful change has begun.

All at once, the area of cold began to rapidly shrink. The cold air that had been trapped in a semicircular curtain dispersed into the air.

The two people who were kneeling with their foreheads together also stood up. We’ll have to find out the details of the situation, but for now, the two people seem fine.

“Sara!”

No…isn’t it okay?

“Father?”

Sara, who was looking at Rano Jinbu holding her hand tightly with a puzzled expression, only then realized what situation she was in and looked frustrated.

“Sara, Sara, are you okay?!”

“Well, I’m…I’m okay. My sister…she took my energy…”

Sarah looked towards the black cat with a clouded expression. Rano Jingbu was also at a loss for words as the sight of the black cat finally caught his eye.

I opened my mouth to represent everyone’s feelings.

“Black cat…you…hair…”

The black cat’s head and eyes turned white.

*** ***

It took quite some time for everything to be sorted out.

We find out how the black cat and Sarah ended up exchanging energy, diagnose the condition of the black cat and Sarah, and even take care of Sarah’s frozen dormitory and the makeshift stage.

By the time I had roughly figured out the outline of the situation and gotten it under control, it was already night.

We stayed one night at Podalap Palace.

And the next day.

The black cat said that it wanted to check on Sara’s condition, and Podalapgung accepted the request.

“Are you… really okay?”

“It’s okay.”

The black cat raised his hand. A chill was playing within the black cat’s fingers. The hair and eyes, which seemed to be white at first glance, were a mixture of silver and blue upon closer inspection, giving them an indescribable mystery.

The black cat’s eyes widened slightly when it noticed my gaze.

“Hehe, this is just temporary. Because you can seem to overcome it.”

“…Okay.”

It is a black cat that has been freed from the hat and cotton thread that barely covers its face. I hope I never have to pull up cotton threads again to hide my hair and eye color.

Perhaps because the room Sarah was using was completely frozen due to exposure to the cold wave caused by Sarah and the black cat, we were led to a different room from yesterday.

Sarah was sitting on a chair, not on the bed.

“Ah, sister…!”

When a black cat appears, Sara runs to her. He was so full of energy that you could say he was a different person from yesterday, when he watched the performance while lying in bed.

“Well, thank you so much..! Thank you!”

“Meet your benefactor.”

The palace lord and his wife who were spending time with Sarah expressed their gratitude in their own way.

The treatment was completely different from when I said I knew the cure, but it was natural. Even though there was a commotion, Sarah regained her health overnight.

Doctor “ says Sarah’s symptoms have improved to the point where they are almost like those of the general public. How should I repay this favor…”

Ssss!

Lano Jingbu closed his mouth in surprise. This was because a cold wind suddenly blew between Sarah and the black cat, who thought she was just stroking Sarah’s head.

Everyone was looking at the black cat with their eyes wide open at the sudden action, and the black cat raised its head with an expression of regret.

“…benefactor?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Because the oral cavity accumulated overnight…”

“Sister, are you okay..?”

Sarah cautiously looked up at the black cat. Is there some kind of connection between the two? Even though Black Cat and Sarah met for the first time yesterday, they were giving off a close feeling.

Was the black cat’s behavior just now something that Sarah would be worried about? Even Hocheonan, a stagnant object in this body, does not know what happens when the lunar and oral diaphragms meet.

It occurred to me that the black cat might be overexerting itself, just as Sarah had worried.

I might have to watch the black cat more carefully in the future.

The black cat patted Sarah’s head and said, “It’s cute that Sara is worried about her.”

“Can’t you feel it too? My sister is okay with this.”

“But the hair…”

“It’s just a temporary symptom. If Sarah gets better and gets better, my hair will go back to black.”

“Uhm…I’ll do my best!”

“It’s amazing.”

The black cat stroked Sarah’s head and gave me a wink. From what I’ve seen, it looks like Sarah has something to talk about when Sarah isn’t around.

“Now that Sarah’s health has recovered, why not stay in the room like this and go for a walk to build up your stamina?”

“…I see. Are you Sarah? Why don’t you go for a walk with Mom?”

Chairang must have sensed that the black cat had something to say without Sara, so he held Sara’s hand and left the room.

“The recovery speed is faster than expected. A lot of negative energy accumulated in just half a day.”

Rano Jinbu’s expression darkened at Black Cat’s negative words.

“There are limits to my ability to control Sarah’s energy. Due to her natural constitution, it is possible to interfere with Sara’s vagina, but it is a bit difficult to fully handle it.”

There was a high possibility that the black cat’s words were not serious.

The fact that the hair color changed after absorbing the oral energy was proof that the energy entering the body was not completely controlled.

Even Rano Jinbu would have understood that fact well.

“As Sara grows, her negative energy will become purer and more powerful, so there will come a limit at some point. A fundamental treatment is needed.”

“…Is it a cure?”

Rano Jingbu’s frown deepened even further.

“In the past few days, I have felt very acutely the lack of practice. I just thought it would be good for Sarah to be happy seeing the magic… but then I heard that there was a cure, and she and her benefactor caused a strange phenomenon, became healthy overnight, and the current situation was ultimately just a temporary solution… ”

The palace lord sighs deeply, uncharacteristically of a monk. Although he was a monk, he was now just a father whose sorrow had all melted away.

It was a while before Rano Jinbu opened his mouth.

“You said you knew the cure.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me. What is the method, what is needed, and how can this Podalap Palace help?”

“It is not easy. Are you ready?”

“I have hope, so how can I abandon it? I will go until the end.”

The palace lord’s permission was granted.

*** ***

There really is a lot that is needed to permanently treat syllable veins.

First of all, a fire elemental elixir.

“No ordinary fire elixir is needed. You need something that contains the energy of extreme yang even in its pure material form, rather than something that has been combined to bring out the energy of the fire attribute.”

“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like something is usually needed… Can you give me an example?”

Yes.

I said, remembering the elixir recipe.

“Well, first of all, Hwaryun Safflower would be the best, but the material is currently unknown, and realistically, Hwajeong or Taeyanghwali would be the best substitute.”

“Um.”

First of all, among players, the recipe using Hwaryun Safflower as the main ingredient is the most studied.

This is because it is the easiest to obtain among the three elixirs.

In order to find Hwajeong, you have to wander through the desert area, and in order to catch Taeyanghwari swimming in the lava, you have to gather materials to make a special fishing rod and bait.

In comparison, Hwaryun Safflower is easy because you only need to defeat one guardian spirit.

However, currently it is not possible to obtain Hwaryun Safflower.

About a year or two after the start of the martial arts world, someone would dig up Hwaryun safflower plants. There is no information on where the Hwaryun safflower has disappeared, even in the Wurim World community.

“The safflower plant is kept in the main palace.”

“…Yes?”

…The person who dug up the safflower plant was Podalapgung?

“Did you dig it up in Xi’an about 6 to 7 years ago?”

Lano Jinbu looked surprised.

“No, how do you know that? I tried to find the elixir of Geukyang as a treatment for Sarah, but I couldn’t find a way to neutralize it enough to use it on Sarah, so I kept it in storage…”

I never thought there would be a hidden story behind this. The safflower thief that players cursed until it dried out and wore out was none other than Podalapgung.

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. The biggest problem has already been solved.”

“Hehe, fortune is with you.”

It was definitely luck. Well, in order to suppress the yin energy generated from the oral umbilical cord, thinking of an elixir containing the energy of extreme yang is a worthy idea. Is this the moment when Podalapgung’s efforts to treat Sarah shine?

Seeing that Rano Jinbu’s complexion has improved, I can now tell him everything I need to know.

“Now, let me tell you about the supplementary ingredients. First of all, you need dragon ginseng, thousand-year old ginseng or hundred-year old ginseng, quick-drying latex, and a blood-boosting agent that complements the quick-drying latex. For example, if you use Geumgangdan emulsion, you will need to have a nutrient solution based on heavy water. Other than that, you need some rare medicines, but they are readily available on the market, so you can get them if you just spend money and time.”

“No…”

Rano Jinbu opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed by the sudden feast of ingredients pouring in. Even though I checked Rano Jinbu’s reaction, I continued talking for now.

“That’s not all you need. We need herbalists and blacksmiths who have reached the level of masters. Specifically, you must have the ability to freely use the medicines I suggested. I don’t know the level of skill of the lawmakers at Podalap Palace, so the palace owner will have to check. In the case of a blacksmith, the teacher, or rather my group, can step forward and there will be no problem.”

“Hmm, okay, I’ll check.”

“And from now on, there is something you need to find by mobilizing the influence and attendants of Podalap Palace. Since I found Hwaryun Safflower, this process must be the most difficult.”

“….huh.”

It seems that the princess is unable to come to her senses as everything she needs is poured out at once.

It is a treatment for oral syllable veins. Could it be easy?

But if you think about it from Rano Jinbu’s perspective, it’s a story that takes your breath away. Although it was mentioned lightly as a minor ingredient, each of the ingredients is commonly used as an elixir in the world. Each of them may not be worth a thousand gold, but they are worth platinum.

No matter how much you are the palace lord, you cannot do everything in Podalap Palace as you please, so of course it will be a burden.

In addition, having attendants from Podalap Palace involved in the treatment of my daughter was another burden.

“Gung lord, this is an investment.”

“I guess my resolve wasn’t enough. Don’t worry, I will give you whatever you want.”

“I am not saying this as an insult to the palace lord. Have you ever heard of Bingbaekseolhu?”

“…I’ve heard of it.”

Bingbaekseolhu. He died almost a hundred years ago and is currently considered the greatest ice ball expert of all time.

“Bing Baek Seol-hu overcame the trisyllable vein and gained a reputation as the best ice ball expert in the world. But what happens if you overcome the oral syllable vein?”

Rano Jinbu’s eyes opened wide.

The palace owner only thought about curing her daughter’s illness.

Sara’s future must be being drawn in the palace owner’s mind.

“Excellent intelligence and vast potential…isn’t it okay to look forward to how far you can rise as a military officer?”

“Umm….!”

“If Sarah can overcome her oral syllables, Podalapgung may be able to welcome the lord of the small palace with the best qualities in the world.”

This is a justification.

A cause that can mobilize the entire capabilities of Podalap Palace to treat Sarah.

No matter how much you are a palace lord, using the assets of the clan and mobilizing the literary people to cure your daughter’s illness can be problematic.

Mobilizing the capabilities of a clan to improve the qualities of a palace lord is something that a palace lord can fully do.

“….I see.”

Rano Jinbu looked at me for a moment. His eyes seemed to understand everything I said. While I was looking forward to Sarah’s bright future after overcoming her syllables, I was also a bit wary.

Specifically, it’s a look in their eyes that seems to be asking, ‘What on earth are you looking for that you’re giving me such a justification for?’

“So, what is the material that we need to find by mobilizing the warriors of Podalap Palace?”

I said with a grin.

“Have you ever heard of Gongcheong Petroleum?”

Rano Jinbu’s face was strangely distorted.
