My card didn’t stop at just breaking the steel sword, it also cut the middle-aged man’s body in two.

“Captain!”

“Failed! Jump out!”

All cards are good, but the downside is that they take time to activate.

Lastly, I used a strong sword and sent the man who called for the captain to the captain’s side.

Meanwhile, the one remaining man was running out of the alley using my body strength, but I was so excited by the situation that I used my telekinetic powers to catch the man running away.

“What is this! My body…”

The last man possessed by telekinesis while floating in the air.

The man had already escaped onto the main road, and people on the roadside were agitated when they saw the stuffed man floating in the air.

“What is that? Is this a drinking method that I only heard about?”

“If you look closely, that person is Joo Yeong-ho, a subordinate of Nangageom.”

“It looks like Nangageom touched the wrong person.”

I left the alley and approached Joo Young-ho, whose name I had only recently learned.

To be honest, I have no interest in the life or death of this man named Joo Young-ho, but it was an opportunity to set an example to this city that they should not mess with me.

“Great cooperation! No, Master! I was wrong! As compensation, let me know where the silver coins in Nangahgeom are hidden…”

Instead of listening to the end, I used my telekinesis to turn the man’s neck and suffocate him.

“Oh my. This guy suddenly went crazy and stabbed Nangageom and his colleagues, but now his neck turns on its own. Great Joint: What kind of resentment do you have to build up to be killed by a ghost in broad daylight?”

I said to myself that the deaths of Joo Young-ho, Nang A-geom, and their subordinates had nothing to do with me.

In the first place, no one saw me kill someone myself.

In this day and age, it’s not even a crime if you don’t get caught.

Moreover, the government does not often intervene in fights between proper martial arts people, who are not third-rate scoundrels.

To begin with, Nangageom and his gang didn’t seem to have a very good reputation, and in addition, I wore the mask of a magician with a higher status than the martial arts people.

Here, the magician is a being connected to all kinds of superstitions, beliefs, and taboos. The government office will not necessarily create a confrontation with me.

‘If it doesn’t work out, it’ll fly out into the dimension mirror.’

I left the noisy villagers alone and took care of the bald man and the archer.

And after confirming that the lives of his subordinates were not in danger, he headed to the pharmacy.

It was better to get treatment at a pharmacy, and the important thing was my elixir.

I headed to the pharmacy and calmed my pounding heart.

‘Now that I think about it, this is my first solo battle with someone of the same class.’

A middle-aged man, Nangageom, although his physical abilities were lower than that of a C-class body enhancer, he was clearly stronger due to his experience and hardships.

If I had been hit directly by that sword, my telekinetic defense would have been torn in an instant and I would have suffered damage.

Moreover, since I fought 1:3 without any superpowers and without martial arts, it was a battle where I was at a disadvantage.

‘I have definitely become stronger. At this rate, we will be able to easily reach level B or even peak level.’

There are only a few days left to reach the level of being on the same level as the high-ranking psychics that I only dreamed of.

***

I saw red ginseng at a pharmacy.

The red roots were clustered together in a lump, oval-shaped and wide, and at a glance, it looked like a brain full of wrinkles.

The owner of the pharmacy, an old man in his 60s, approached me and spoke with a proud expression.

“Awesome, right? It is a higher level elixir than the Jayangsam or Three Hundred Years of Water that you took before.”

“The size is not as huge as other elixirs.”

It was the size of four fists put together, but it was still large enough to be eaten in one sitting due to overeating.

“That’s why it’s better. Because you can eat the root without losing its efficacy.”

I gave the drugstore owner four silver bars.

It was to purchase elixirs and treat his subordinate, Bald.

It doesn’t matter because the archer fainted, but the bald man was hit in the stomach with a sword, so if he made a mistake, he could have died.

Well, at any rate, the treatment was worth two or three silver nyang as a bonus, and in reality, it was entirely the price of red ginseng.

Because it was such a good elixir, it was also wanted by masters of other sects living in Changdeokseong, so the price was high.

After a while, the archer woke up, laid down his healed bald head, and I returned home, carefully wrapping Hongnoesam in a cloth.

When I returned home, I saw Hongnoesam and was troubled.

If the maximum capacity of energy and blood that I can accumulate now is 100, I could say that it has already reached 95.

Eating red ginseng right now would be a big waste, but there was no hope of finding a meditation method that would be more effective than Hou Jian Qigong.

Even if you tried to make money using the spiritual techniques of other schools, it was unthinkable to sell them in this world.

However, the power of the clan was too strong to take it away by force.

Dealing with several top experts or top experts representing a sect would be suicidal.

However, there was no hope of finding a weak and declining clan.

That kind of sect has already been robbed by other sects or hides in the mountains without anyone knowing.

“I have no choice but to create it myself.”

There are a lot of ingredients.

I have close to 200 types of qigong books copied through perspective and purchased through non-gong books.

As a result of my research on Qigong, it can be divided into two types. Basic Qigong, which can be switched to other Qigong or Sim methods at any time, and this is the category that the Hogan Qigong that I learned also falls into.

If you look at the deep qigong, which completely changes the nature of qi and blood and cannot be replaced by other qigong or mind methods, it was also deep qigong.

“Hmm. Looking at it this way, Simsim Qigong seems like a failure that failed to become a spiritual practice.”

After thinking about it, I came up with an amazing idea.

“Ah! If you discard the deformed energy and accumulating new energy and energy, you will be able to learn other advanced qigong skills!”

Of course, I am not throwing away my energy and blood, but I plan to experiment with the energy and energy of my subordinates.

I called the giant and gave him 5 silver bars.

“Go to a small pharmacy other than the one I went to and buy some elixir. When ordering in the form of decoction and pills, the pills must be divided into as many quantities as possible.”

And after thinking about it, he added:

“Except for the qigong we have collected, learn about other advanced qigong. Yes, I spread the word that I pay money to buy Qigong that is unique or more effective than other Qigong. Also, you should only travel on the main roads.”

“Honorable name!”

As I watched the giant bow down and leave, I thought I should bring more silver bars.

The silver bars I just handed over to the giant were my entire possessions.

‘Honestly, I didn’t expect to use all 25kg of silver bars.’

The price of the elixir was extremely expensive.

Even if a warrior commits robbery, he must annihilate a large village and collect silver and coins to obtain a weak elixir.

After returning to Earth using a dimensional mirror, I purchased 25 kg of silver and returned to the martial arts world.

After only two hours, it was already night in this world.

Anyway, I was tired from fighting Nangageom during the day, so I went to sleep.

Of course, my bed was in the largest room on the second floor, and the blankets and pillows were of the highest quality brought from Earth.

I was thinking of setting up a watchdog as usual, but decided to do it because I planned to experiment with Qigong on the bodies of my subordinates tomorrow.

We had a fight in the morning, and even in times like this, we have to show mercy.

‘It doesn’t matter because he protects himself with telekinesis while he sleeps.’

I had such a good night’s sleep.

The next day, I woke up early in the morning and looked at the paper recording the flow of martial arts and qigong outside the window and sorted out the differences.

‘When the flow turns like this, the Qi and blood become more refined, and when the Qi and Blood rotate like this, the body becomes stronger.’

My understanding of Qigong deepened as I saw the comparison group with my own eyes.

I was able to watch and learn from the dancers for a day and decide how to modify my qigong.

‘It’s definitely better to have a lot of energy and blood. Because the amount of energy and blood is the level of physical ability. It’s good for your body to become stronger and stronger, but then the amount of energy and blood it can hold decreases.’

In the end, it was better if the nature of energy and blood was pure. Adding other strengthening properties could result in a situation where strength becomes slightly stronger but other physical abilities decrease.

While I was gathering my thoughts, a guest came to my house.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a brown hood. He was an amazing man whose energy and blood surpassed mine.

For a moment, I thought he was a peak expert, but he was just a top-notch expert with a lot of energy and blood.

He and I sat at a table on the first floor and talked face to face.

“I came here because I heard that I would purchase Simhwa Qigong.”

“That’s right. However, if it is released on the market or is of ordinary quality, I will not purchase it.”

“Don’t worry. The deep Qigong that I learned can be said to be the best among Qigong. Between pores…”

He smiled bitterly.

He handed me some old pieces of paper, which looked like he had learned Qigong.

As I was looking at the paper and trying to figure out the effectiveness of Qigong, the man said.

“The name of the qigong is Jinhyeol Qigong, True Blood Qigong. It is specialized in Qi and blood, so it can be said to be the best in accumulating and limiting Qi and blood.”

“Oh. I was looking for something like this.”

Assuming my current capacity is 100, it seemed like I could build up my Qi and blood to 140 if I learned this Qigong.

“But why are you collecting this kind of advanced qigong? I’ve heard rumors that you are a magician.”

“Hmm. This is for research use only. First of all, I also learned martial arts. So, I am trying to create the best Qigong. There’s nothing wrong with having a good body, right?”

“Haha… That’s right. There’s nothing wrong with having a good body. But remember that qigong is qigong and can never go beyond the mind. This kind of energy and blood is nothing compared to the true energy of a peak master.”

“Teacher, do you know much about peak masters? I am a magician, so I am unfamiliar with the state of martial arts, so please explain. I will pay you back without any regrets.”

After calmly impersonating a magician, I took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.

The man in the yellow hood looked at the silver ingot and swallowed.

“You have such a big barrel! From what I heard, the peak master deals with true energy, the power that surpasses energy and blood, and is the highest level that a human can reach. Reaching the peak is called sublimation of the true energy of qi and blood, and I heard that this is the crucial difference between qigong energy and mind law. There is a way to sublimate true energy in Shimbeop, but there is no Qigong.”

“So you’re saying that without meditation, you can never reach the peak?”

“But that’s not true. They say that some geniuses reach their peak even without meditation. Representative examples include Yongkwon Jeok Sohyeok and Madugichang Yeoulryeong.”
