“Whoop!”

First, I started training lightly with Ilhui Samgeom, the first step of Ilhui Cheongungeom.

“The movement itself is great. Now, let’s reflect on the mystery. Shall we start with the strong sword?”

Ilhwisamgeom is just a collection of very basic swordsmanship movements that lead to diagonal downward cuts, horizontal cuts, and diagonal upward cuts.

But at the same time, it is also a practical herbivore.

This is because Ilhwi Cheongungeom is based on four techniques. Ilhwisamgeom, which contains the mysteries of the river, and Ilhwisamgeom, which contains the mystics of Kwae, are the same movements but different chosik.

“In Danjeon, internal energy is guided through three branches: Yingyo, Gwanwon, and Hwangyu. Gwanwon’s internal energy directs energy to the legs, which will be the central axis, to the blood vessels, foot ginseng, and taechung. The energy that is guided by the yin bridge generates chung energy in the geoggeol acupoint through the qimun acupoint. The spirit that spreads through eumgyo and knights is loyal to all the way from the lower back to the extreme gate…”

I listened to Hyeok Kirin’s explanation with a pounding heart.

The explanation itself was long and difficult, but to summarize the story in one word, it is that all you have to do is guide the energy to the place where it is needed in the body and cause the phenomenon of repletion of energy in that area in accordance with the order.

Well, it’s not something that can be reduced like this.

The human body is a microcosm. There are countless paths called blood vessels that can travel through the microcosm of the human body, and martial artists operate their inner energy based on the energy and energy of those blood vessels.

Even in the simple case of causing a surge of energy in the arm, the results vary depending on the path taken by the energy vein. If the path can efficiently generate strong force, that is the trick of the river. If it can achieve high speed, it can be said to be the trick of pleasure.

Fixing the techniques in one form so that they can be unfolded in succession is called Chosik (招式).

“Can you expand it?”

“Yes.”

I nodded as soon as Hyeok Kirin finished his explanation. This body Hocheonan. He did not have extraordinary understanding that could explain a single herbivore with just one explanation.

On the way to Jeomchangpa, I just looked at martial arts books during the time I had while driving the carriage, memorized how to use internal skills, and swung my sword.

Hyeok Kirin was well aware of my pre-study, so he only explained it to me once and then asked for a demonstration. I began to unfold Ilhwisamgeom, taking advantage of the river’s tricks.

Hiss!

“again.”

Shuyuk! Whoosh!

“again.”

Squirt! Shock! Shock!

As you can see just by looking at the sound, the distribution of internal energy in my body was a mess. You have to use the inner technique as if you were drawing a line without taking the brush off the drawing paper, but I just put the brush on the drawing paper! After taking the picture, I drew a line in the air and then boom! It was like taking pictures.

Then, it would be better to keep it constant! Did you at least take a picture?

Depending on how the impurities blocked the air flow, the output and reaction were messed up.

… was my excuse.

“Hmm… I know it’s a bit weird to say this, but you’re really terrible at handling internal skills.”

“Senior, I know about your constitution, but even considering that, you are too serious.”

“Shui beol…”

In fact, I thought it was a bit harsh, so I grumbled and gritted my teeth.

“First of all, I will aim to learn how to use the four tricks. Stable lung energy is not a problem that can be improved overnight.”

“Um…I understand.”

Hyuk Kirin’s complexion looked quite complicated. The eyes looking at me seemed to say, ‘Oh, I have no idea how to make this guy human…’ and my face got hot for no reason.

The training, which started at dawn, ended only when the sun rose in the sky. Under Hyeok Kirin’s guidance, I was able to learn all four techniques of Ilhwi Samgeom… but when I look at the unfolding Chosik, I don’t even see the slightest trace of stability.

“Dedication and training are the only answers. Ho Rongin, don’t be impatient. Effort never betrays.”

Well, how can you get full in just one day of training? Even in the martial arts world in the game, it took a long time to get past the top level at the top level. We shouldn’t expect that much growth now that we’ve been penalized so hard due to mixed blood.

“The sword training will only be conducted in the morning. In the afternoon, I will devote myself to physical training and other practices.”

“What kind of practice do you mainly mean?”

“You may take time to check new methods, walking techniques, etc., but what is urgent for Rongin now is performance ability and flexibility.”

Performance and flexibility…an answer I didn’t expect came out. It wasn’t that I didn’t know the meaning of the word. It is bound to be unfamiliar as it mentions abilities that do not exist in the martial arts world in the game.

“Ho Rongin’s training is extremely biased. Although the muscles are well developed, they are not really coordinated at all, and although the body is capable of high speed, it is not sensuous at all. Perhaps Ho Rongin has been building his body with just one training method his whole life?”

“…Yes.”

Hyeok Kirin’s words were correct. Of all the training methods I’ve come across, I’ve continued to learn only the one that is most efficient.

“You have probably trained only using training methods that are considered to be the most efficient among those that can be learned.”

Did you read my mind?

“But how can there be such a perfect training method in the world? It is true that the muscles of the body are important, but it is wrong to take care of only the heavy ones and throw away the light ones. Light things also exist for a reason, so if you are unmanned, you must pursue balanced development.”

“Hmm. I understand.”

Actually, I didn’t understand it, but for now, let’s just follow what Hyuk Kirin says. Hyeok Kirin’s teaching skills were the best I have ever experienced. I could almost feel my skills improving. You can just trust and follow what instructor Ilta tells you to do.

Hyukkirin smiled as if he understood my thoughts.

“Hehe, just follow it for now. Well, it’s lunch time now. I will take you to Chaeseondang.”

Me and the black cat followed Hyuk Kirin’s guidance and moved to the restaurant. It looks like an ordinary cafeteria where you serve your own food, including rice, side dishes, and soup. The unfortunate thing is that there is no meat. Still, I was glad there were eggs.

“As expected, it is a diet worthy of the Taoist sect.”

“Jeomchang does not specifically force a diet. It is true that if you practice Seon-sik, you will not accumulate fire in your body, so you can achieve higher martial arts achievements, but that is up to you to decide for yourself.”

That’s really desirable. Even so, it seems difficult to reach the meat because it is a sword in name and appearance, but even if it is a sword, this is a fairy.

Do you know what?

There is no kitchen in the shaman. There is a restaurant where people gather to eat, but there is no kitchen. What does this mean? This means that cooking using fire itself is not done in shamans.

There are no exceptions for the shaman’s guests.

Raw food only!

Isn’t that the source of the liberated atmosphere unique to Shaman disciples? I’ve been tortured all my life, so how ridiculous must things be in this world.

“Metabolic!”

“Sigh!”

“Hehe, it’s been a while since you guys.”

Children who looked to be around ten years old came and surrounded Hyeok Kirin. In terms of numbers, roughly between ten and twenty people. Hyeok Kirin spoke after patting the children who were stuck together a few times.

“Stop making more noise in the restaurant and take a seat.”

“Yes!”

Perhaps because they grew up only hearing and seeing good things in store windows, their eyes were so innocent. The children who had received their food came out and sat down in a circle surrounding the black cat.

“Very pretty sister…”

“Mister! Are you a master? zenith? Transcendence?”

“It’s first class.”

“Disappointment…”

“Unfortunate…”

I’m sorry it’s top notch.

“Metabolic! Please tell me about your visit to Sichuan Province!”

“I heard that all the bandits in Sichuan Province were defeated!”

As the kids started talking over the stove, I couldn’t tell whether the food was going into their mouths or their noses. Why are kids who don’t even eat meat so energetic?

Clap clap.

“Guys. After you finish eating, the ambassador will give you a gift. However, only to those who are quiet and have good manners.”

“Wow! A gift!”

“I have to eat it quickly!”

The children stopped asking questions and started eating hurriedly. After finishing our meal, Black Cat and I also took the children to the guesthouse.

“Hehe. The children are all bright and cute. I think I know why Hyukgirin Daehyeop went to great lengths to get a gift!”

Hyukkirin blushed silently. Well, seeing that half of the wagon was full of gifts made me feel embarrassed again.

Black Cat and I laughed and gave gifts to the children.

The gift for the children was sweets. This is not just a confectionery made on the street, but a truly high-end product made by confectioners who would only be found in big cities, each piece wrapped in paper and sealed with candle wax.

“Hmm…”

Well, since the kids are cute, I thought I’d give them a magic show.

“How many snacks will you give each child?”

“Well, one is a bit much, but shouldn’t we give each person two? Because today is not the only day.”

“Then let’s just give them one by one.”

Hyukgi-rin made a puzzled expression as he watched me stuffing the sweets into my arms, but soon burst into laughter as if he understood my actions.

“Hehehe…It will be a good attraction for children.”

Hyeok Kirin handed out sweets to the children one by one.

“More!”

“Delicious!”

“Wow! Ambassador type! It’s the best in the world!”

“I really like pretty sisters too!”

The black cat giggled and laughed. Seeing the children touching their heads, they seemed to really like it. The children devoured the confectionery in no time. In the first place, the characteristic of high-quality confectionery is that it melts in your mouth no matter how hard you try to eat it sparingly.

The situation is such that the children are chomping at the bit with disappointment.

Now was the time for this body, Hocheonan, to sortie.

“Do you regret it?”

“Yes…”

“I want to eat more sugar…”

“Huhuhu. To tell you the truth, this body has supernatural powers that are connected to descendants.”

The kids opened their eyes wide at the unexpected comment I made.

“That guy, look where he’s hurting!”

“Should I take you to the pharmacy?”

“Kyahakhak!”

The black cat rolled around on the floor and laughed. I shot the black cat once and set the mood by pointing to its temples with the index fingers of both hands and frowning.

“Umm…I can hear…I can hear…I will give sweets…to the good child who prays!”

Among the children in a noisy atmosphere, a girl raised her hand.

“Hey, I want to do it!”

“Good! Come forward.”

The child put his fern-like hands together and prayed to his descendants.

“Thank you for letting me eat delicious confectionery~”

“Hehe. good night. Huye is very satisfied and says he will give me sweets…!”

“Wow?”

The child looked at me with a skeptical expression, and I opened my hands wide in an exaggerated motion and then brought them together.

“Tea!”

And when I open my hands. Of course in my hand…

“Oh! It’s a sweet!”

“ character. It is a sweet treat that descendants give as a reward!”

“Wow! Descendants! Thank you!”

The girl was happy as she held the sweets and twirled them around, and the other children looked at the girl with envy.

“Is there anyone else who would like to offer up a prayer?”

“Me! Me!”

Children gathered in front of me and lined up. I watched the children praying and made sweets from the palm of my hand. Oh, of course, I’m not saying they actually made it, I’m just saying it was made to look like that.

“Wow!”

After giving the sweets to a few people, their eyes began to sparkle.

Looks like these guys have finally gained some respect for this body. Highly motivated, I shrugged my shoulders and increased the difficulty of the magic performance.

“Hehe! now! Now three people pray at once!”

After praying with the children, I held three sweets in my palm and the children were jumping up and down with joy.

“Wow! Three confections at a time!”

“It’s the descendant’s grace!”

“Amazing!”

The kids surrounded me on all sides and stared at my hands, but at best they couldn’t see my movements that well. Finally, the children were happy and cheered when they created five confections at once.

After confirming that all fifteen children had been given sweets, I touched my forehead.

“Umm…the connection with Descendants has been lost!”

“Ahh…!”

“Can’t I make more sugar?”

“Hehe, guys. Don’t get your boss in trouble. Didn’t you eat one more candy?”

Hyeok Kirin patted the children’s heads with a kind smile.

“Hmm..! Don’t be too upset. Are you training hard at martial arts… or… are you training hard at martial arts…?”

Actually, I didn’t know what the kids were doing in the store, so I looked at Hyeok Gi-rin, asking for help.

“Yes. If you wake up on time, don’t fall asleep during scripture class, and don’t talk or play around at bedtime, your descendants may come visit you again.”

“I will fall asleep first at bedtime!”

“I should wake up first thing tomorrow morning!”

“I will work hard at my swordsmanship training!”

“Hahahaha! Yes, keep going!”

I didn’t know until the children left, waving and holding the sweets with their fern-like hands.

That I have done something terrible.
