“Phew….”

I looked at the man in front of me with a confused expression.

The name of the man in front of me was Jang Deok-su, and surprisingly, he was a human from another world, different from Earth.

Although his genetic information, which I found out through Babel, was significantly different from mine, he was able to be grouped into a subspecies.

Perhaps otherworldly people can reproduce with Earth humans.

Also surprisingly, there was no such thing as superpowers in this other world.

The gate monsters that appear on Earth also use supernatural powers.

It is said that this place transcends humans through the art of martial arts and trains through the energy that is prevalent throughout the world.

Martial arts? That one from Martial Arts?

Even in Earth’s China, there was a lot of fuss about recreating martial arts through psychic energy, but in the end, no one learned it.

I know this because I also tried the Danjeon breathing method when I was obsessed with the occult.

That’s nonsense.

In addition, I am concerned about energy. The energy I found out about through Jang Deok-su is a natural force that is generated from the entire nature, unlike the psychic energy that only arises from the mind of a psychic. It is confusing, and the air that I still feel is the same as when I first arrived in this world. I was worried that it might have been mixed in.

Also, going back and seeing this world as something like the China of the past or a parallel world was completely contradictory to the information I found out through Jang Deok-su.

What I learned from Jang Deok-su is that the land we are walking on now belongs to the Yong Dynasty, and the neighboring countries were the Cheon Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty.

It was a country I had never heard of or seen before, and even the topography of the continent was completely wrong.

The continent of this world was shaped like a ring, so anyone could see that it was a different world from Earth.

Even the language was just a slogan and a different language from Chinese characters, so I had no choice but to admit that this was a completely different world from Earth.

While my mind was confused about the world, Deoksu Jang and I had already arrived near the village.

I thought it would be better to go to Jang Deok-su’s house and sort out the current situation rather than staying on the street.

Jang Deok-su’s house was built of wood and dried with mud on the outside. It looked small and shabby, but it was located a little away from the village.

Jang Deok-su and I walked home at a fast pace so that the villagers could not see us.

This is because it might be a little annoying if the villagers see me now.

Because the pajamas and clothes I was wearing were too foreign here.

For your information, the first reason Jang Deok-soo called me a monk was because he saw this unfamiliar outfit and me removing a tree branch with my telekinesis.

Because it was a magic trick or a magic trick of a monster that he had only heard of in legends.

As I entered the house, I frowned. The interior floor was only covered with something thick on top of the dirt floor, and it wasn’t properly wallpapered, so it was a bit dirty and dirty.

Still, I couldn’t go back, so I found the cleanest seat and sat down.

And then I saw Deoksu Jang bowing in front of me and looking down at me politely.

“Are you not sitting down?”

“Oh my gosh, how can I sit in the same seat as a Buddhist monk? Don’t worry about me, just stay comfortably.”

Deoksu Jang’s thoughts all changed to center on me due to Babel.

Seeing him like that, I couldn’t figure out how to deal with him.

“Is there anything you need? If you give me the opportunity to treat you as a Buddhist monk, I will even pull out the pillars of the house.”

“Hmm… I’m hungry. I need to eat some food.”

“Please wait a moment. I will send it to you right away.”

As a test, I told him I was hungry, but when I saw him voluntarily come forward and prepare a meal, I was able to realize the power of the barbell.

Watching him move according to my will, I felt both chills and trepidation at the same time.

‘My abilities must never be known to others.’

Fortunately, Deoksu Jang was a widower and had no family.

He was originally an ordinary city citizen, and while making a living as a porter for a commercial company, he met an unmanned robber while moving the luggage for the commercial company with a fellow porter.

With his colleagues killed by robbers and most of his belongings lost, he was in a hopeless situation and fearing that the merchant would ask why he was the only one who came back alive, so he took up the remaining belongings of the merchant and fled to this village.

The value of the remaining belongings of the merchant was low and he could not take care of much, so he was poor, as you can see by looking at this house.

‘The movements of the warrior in his memory are similar to those of a person with body enhancement abilities.’

Strength and speed beyond ordinary humans.

Because of that, I became curious about martial arts.

“The meal has been served. Coincidentally, the chicken I was raising yesterday laid an egg.”

As I was reminiscing about Jang Deok-su, my thoughts became complicated when I saw him approaching me and preparing a meal.

‘Is the reason why the Unification Language evolved into Babel because of conversations with humans from another world? ‘Can we sever the connection between Babel and Jang Deok-su?’

My thoughts right now are that I feel guilty about manipulating people and that Babel’s ability is very effective.

Without Babel’s ability, it would have taken time to learn about this world in detail, and my foreign clothing and common sense would have caused quite a few misunderstandings.

As I was weighing the morality within me and the utility of Babel, I ended the meal by making the excuse that it was not my will that the Unification Language evolved into Babel and Jang Deok-su became subordinate to me, and that I did not know what to do to return it to its original state.

“Did you enjoy your meal? Is there anything else you would like to ask?”

“Uh… Please don’t tell anyone about me and live your life as usual.”

“Just leave it to me! Even if my mouth is torn, I will not talk about you!”

“Okay, I’ll be leaving here for a bit, but if I come back here again, I’ll give you a reward assuming you listened carefully.”

Afterwards, I told Deoksu Jang to continue what he was doing and then turned his thoughts to the Tonap method that Deoksu Jang had been learning.

Tonapbeop (吐納法) is a basic healing technique that gathers energy and creates Danjeon. It was widely spread throughout the Yung Dynasty, and even ordinary people like Jang Deok-su were learning it.

‘If I learn this, will I be able to gain energy? ‘How is it different from psychic energy?’

Out of curiosity, I closed my eyes and followed the instructions.

The basic content of lotus sitting and meditation was something I tried consistently when I was into the occult or while practicing telekinesis, so I went right into the core.

I blocked out my senses and felt the energy prevalent in the world.

Perhaps because I came to a world without energy to begin with, I was able to clearly perceive something foreign mixed in the air.

It was only after I started meditating that I realized that energy was actually already inside me.

In the lungs and stomach.

It’s probably because the qi comes into your lungs as you exhale and inhale, and the stuff in your stomach is probably because you just ate the food here.

I took a deep breath through my nose, counted to 100 seconds, and then began to slowly exhale through my mouth.

As I repeated this, my mind clearly recognized the energy that existed within the body and repeated the image of it moving around my entire body.

…

After a short period of time, the Qi existing in the lungs began to dissolve with the air into the blood, forming Qi and Blood, and I felt the Qi and Blood gathering in the Danjeon of the abdomen and circulating throughout the body.

When I came to my senses again, I realized that 3 PM had become 10 AM in the morning.

Even though I stayed up all night, I was not physically tired, but my whole body was full of vitality.

Feeling a little mentally tired, I thought about the Tonap method again.

‘The speed of training… is too fast.’

I formed Qi and blood and started circulation in just one day.

However, Jang Deok-su practiced Tonapbeop since he was 8 years old and was not able to form Qi and Hyeol until he was 16.

No, in the first place, he only had qi and blood, and the qi and blood did not circulate in his dantian until he was over 40 years old. This was despite the fact that he was over 20 years old and had neglected training.

‘This is a ridiculous speed.’

I felt a big question and was able to find out the difference by comparing myself with Deoksu Jang.

First, Deoksu Jang does not perceive energy this clearly.

The most important thing in forming Qi and blood is ultimately dissolving Qi into blood.

The breathing method was only a side step, and in the content of the Tonap method, recognizing energy and imagery were emphasized as the most important, and there were ways to help with this.

I am already clearly aware of energy, and this method is based on Feng Shui, which means there is a lot of energy, and it involves making a decoction with herbs unique to this world, which I have never heard of, so I omitted it.

Second, Deoksu Jang’s body is full of turbidity.

I found out this while rechecking Jang Deok-su’s body as a whole using a barbell, and Jang Deok-su’s body was full of turbid energy.

But my body doesn’t even have any energy because I came from a world where there is no energy at all.

Therefore, the energy was quickly dissolved into the blood, and since there was no turbid energy blocking the body’s circulation or blocking the path to the Danjeon, the circulation of energy and blood occurred quickly.

Third, because I gained Jang Deok-su’s experience.

Literally, I was able to memorize the process of converting energy into energy and blood using Jang Deok-su’s Tonap method and apply it right away through Barbell.
