The golden liquid pooled at the bottom of the stone box must have been an elixir.
Slowly, but surely, the elixir was being created.
Choi Min-hyeok lifted the stone box.
Then, the light emitted from the figures in the underground space faded.

The extraction process stopped when the stone box was separated from the altar.
The stone box was not just a container to contain the extracted elixir, but also the key to operating the extraction facility here.
In other words, during the past 80 years when the stone box was sunk in the sea, no elixir extraction had been performed here.
Minhyuk Choi put his finger inside the stone box.
hiss-
The elixir that was pooled inside disappeared as soon as I touched it with my finger.
It was absorbed by Minhyuk Choi.
‘It’s a real elixir.’
The extraction method was different, but the result was the same.
But it wasn’t quite the same.
“What is this impure feeling?”
The elixir made here felt cloudy.
The manager answered Choi Min-hyuk’s question.
“It is the essence of desire. The elixir extracted from this place contains the essence of desire.”
In Choi Min-hyeok’s elixir extraction plant, the ＜liquid of desire＞ contained in gold is filtered during the extraction process.
And the tree is growing with the sap as nourishment.
However, this facility did not have the ability to filter out the essence of desire.
If someone takes the elixir made here, the elixir of desire will drive them into madness.
“I absorbed a little bit, am I okay?”
When the manager smiled at Choi Min-hyuk’s sternness, he replied.
“Ayu, the boss is growing trees, so there is no problem at all! The tree purifies in an instant!”
Choi Min-hyeok inspected the altar and the underground space once again.
‘When the hell was this place made?’
It is certain that an alchemist who existed on Earth created this facility, but it was unknown whether it was made by order of Genghis Khan or if it existed before that time.
There is a way to find out.
Use ＜Psychometric＞ to read the memories embedded in objects.
＜Memories Reading＞, which can read people’s memories, can only read memories within 24 hours, but ＜Psychometric＞ can read memories from thousands of years ago.
Minhyuk Choi put his hand on the altar.
And I focused my mind.
Then, the memories and emotions of the person who touched the altar in the past entered Choi Min-hyuk’s head.
however,
‘It’s Chervi’s memory!’
A little while ago, Chervi touched the altar while placing the stone box on it.
That’s why the altar was filled with his memories and emotions.
No previous information has survived.
It was the limit of ＜Psychometric＞.
Unlike the human brain, objects have very little capacity to store memories.
So, when the memories and emotions of the person you most recently touched dwell, the previous information is erased.
If you hit it with a computer, it will be ‘overwritten’.
‘Let’s touch something else.’
Minhyuk Choi walked around the underground space and touched the walls and floor.
But most of them were memories of Keshikten.
Until recently, they gathered here once a month for a ritual, so even the stones rolling on the floor were covered with their recent memories.
‘uh?!’
While touching this and that, Choi Min-hyeok had memories that were older than the others.
80 years ago, it was a memory of Japanese soldiers crashing into this place.
They killed all the Keshikten guarding this place, extracted the elixir, put it in a stone box, and took it outside.
Perhaps they used the elixirs they secured here to enter Khan’s tomb.
It is possible that the golden statue of a horse carried aboard a Yamato-class battleship was indeed taken from the khan’s tomb.
hmm-
Anyway, if you want to know exactly who built this place and when, you had no choice but to go into the tomb of Genghis Khan.
So, put the elixir in the stone box and hand it over to Suzuki.
Then he will move to Lake Baikal and start searching for the grave with all his might.
Choi Min-hyeok was just playing near the lake, and when Suzuki found the entrance to the tomb, he went inside, took the gold, and investigated what he was curious about.
hiss-
Put the manager into your inventory.
I also put in a stone box and a gold nugget.
Now all you have to do is get out of the underground space.
Minhyuk Choi, who was heading for the exit, hesitated.
‘I can’t just leave like this.’
If Keshikten found out that the stone box was missing, he would surely pursue Suzuki.
It was clear that they would follow them all the way to Lake Baikal and interfere with the exploration work.
You can’t just stare at it with your heart broken.
So, I’ll clean up the Kessikten first.
If the intruder disappears, Suzuki will find the grave in a short time.
If Suzuki finds the grave quickly, Choi Min-hyuk himself can take care of himself and return to Korea quickly.
When I return to Korea, the first thing I will do is open a gold and silver room.
Because I have to sell my jewelry quickly and buy a building.
‘Should I kill them all?’
The simplest way to clean up the Keshikten was to summon them all using Chervi and then kill them all.
But I didn’t want to.
The image of the little Mongolian child he met at the camp came into Choi Min-hyeok’s mind.
A child who lost one eye and was playing with puppies.
If you kill Cervi, the child will lose both his father and his eyesight completely.
‘Is there any other way?’
When I was thinking about how to organize Kesikten,
thud-
A sound was heard from the doorway.
Someone had removed a boulder blocking the doorway.
Choi Min-hyeok sensed the presence of someone trying to enter the underground space using ＜Detection＞.
It was a Cherby.
He returned alone, without any men.
Choi Min-hyeok took the stone box out of his inventory and placed it on the altar.
Then he hid himself with ＜Invisibility＞.
After a while,
Cervi entered the subterranean space.
His gaze rested on the stone box.
Juseom Juseom-
Then he took something out of his pocket.
Several gold rings and a gold necklace.
He put it on top of the concentric circles.
Chow ah-
The figures drawn on the floor and walls shone brightly.
He approached the altar and looked down at the stone box, chanting in a low voice.
“[Khan, forgive me.]”
The reason Chervi came back here alone was to make an elixir without the other Keshikten’s knowledge.
Minhyuk Choi, who was hiding and watching him, thought of a good plan to organize the Kesikten.
‘It will be a negotiation.’
Choi Min-hyeok already knew why Chervi was secretly extracting the elixir.
It was because I read his memories and emotions while touching the altar.
Cervi wanted to use the elixir to cure her daughter’s rare disease.
He didn’t know that if he took the elixir made here, he would be addicted to ＜Elixir of Desire＞.
self-
Choi Min-hyeok canceled ＜Invisibility＞.
And he pretended to be popular with Chervi.
“[What are you doing now?]”
“[Who, who!]”
When Cherby saw Choi Min-hyuk, she was startled as if she had seen a ghost.
It was natural to be surprised when someone suddenly appeared in the dark and sealed underground space.
“[You, you? How are you here…]”
Cervi recognized the face of the traveler who had visited her camp this morning.
Then he took out a knife and shouted at Choi Min-hyuk in Japanese.
“[Yeah, you bastard! Was it a spy sent by a treasure hunter!]”
Chervi misunderstood Choi Min-hyeok as the person sent by Suzuki.
“[To show up without fear! I will kill you!]”
Cervi raised her sword and prepared to attack.
In times like these, it would be faster to show one thing than say a thousand words.
Minhyuk Choi stretched out his hand toward the altar.
fluffy-
The stone box was lifted into the air by ＜Psychokinesis＞.
‘oh my god!’
Seeing this, Chervi’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
When the stone box was separated from the altar, the light emitted from the figure faded and the extraction of the elixir stopped.
swish-
A stone ship flew in and stopped right in front of Choi Min-hyuk.
Choi Min-hyeok stretched out his hand toward the stone box floating in the air.
pat-
A bright light emanated from Choi Min-hyuk’s palm and wrapped around the stone box.
Cervi watched the scene with her mouth wide open.
And an amazing thing happened.
self-
The elixir started to fill up in the stone box, and it filled up in an instant.
dump-
Cervi fell flat on the floor and bowed to Choi Min-hyuk.
“[Meet the shaman of the great Tengri!]”
‘Tengri’ was the main deity of ＜Tengri religion＞, a religion believed by the nomadic peoples of Central Asia.
Genghis Khan also worshiped Tengri, so Tengri was the state religion.
So, at one time, Tengri religion grew enormously, and the head of Tengri religion, the great shaman, thought that he could control Genghis Khan with the power of religion.
But Genghis Khan was a man who used religion to unite tribal forces, not a man who was actually bound by his faith.
Genghis Khan executed the great shaman and absorbed even the power that had been dispersed through religion to obtain even more powerful power.
Anyway, Chervi misunderstood Choi Min-hyeok as a shaman.
‘Then I’ll pretend to be a shaman.’
Choi Min-hyeok performed.
“[Seokbox is not originally secular. So I will take it.]”
But Cervi did not back down.
He pointed a knife at Choi Min-hyuk and said.
“[I am the body guarding the stone box under the command of the khan. Even if this body is reduced to powder, I will protect the stone box!]”
As expected, the command of the khan was more important than religion to Chervi, the captain of Kesikten.
However, Choi Min-hyeok knew that there were more important things to him than Khan’s orders.
“[Give me the stone box and I will heal your daughter’s eyes.]”
Upon hearing those words, Chervi’s pupils shook mercilessly.
Took-
Then he dropped the knife he was holding onto the floor.
.
.
.
Choi Min-hyeok returned to the campsite with Chervi.
The darkness had receded and the morning sun was rising over the red sunset over the meadow.
“[Erden!]”
“[dad! Where have you been?]”
A little boy who had been playing with his dog since morning came running to his father’s call.
“[My dad brought the doctor. He will treat Erden’s eye.]”
“[I was tricked by a quack doctor all the time and just threw money away!]”
“[This time it’s for real! Trust Dad!]”
The little boy looked at Minhyuk Choi and tilted his head.
“[uh? That man is our guest.]”
Minhyuk Choi smiled and approached the kid.
Then he got down on one knee and brought it to eye level.
“[Are you really a doctor?]”
“[Close your eyes.]”
The little boy closed his eyes.
Then Minhyuk Choi covered the child’s eyes with his palms.
You will inject the elixir into the child’s body.
Elixir can be injected through any part of the body, but it was an action to give the child a sense of psychological stability that ‘the eyes are being treated’.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had consumed an elixir to heal others.
I usually kill a lot by consuming the elixir.
pat-
A bright light emanated from Choi Min-hyuk’s palm.
The little boy smiled with his eyes closed.
“[dad! Your eyes are cool! I feel so good!]”
Cervi’s eyes turned red at her daughter’s words.
He stopped crying and told the child.
“[Dad said something, this time he brought a really brave doctor.]”
After a while, Minhyuk Choi removed his hand from the child’s eyes.
The elixir injection was finished.
However, not all diseases were instantly cured when the elixir entered the body.
“[It will take about a week to heal.]”
From noble mtl dot com
At Choi Minhyuk’s words, Chervi nodded.
I’ve put enough elixir in the kid’s body, so his eyes will be cured soon.
After the treatment, the remaining elixir will work in the direction the kid wants.
If you want to become prettier, you will become a little prettier than you are now, and if you want to run faster, you will become a little faster than you are now.
Vureung-
After finishing his work, Choi Min-hyeok got on the motorcycle and started the engine.
“[Eat breakfast and go!]”
Minhyuk Choi shook his head at Chervi’s words.
“[I have a lot of work to do.]”
humming-
Choi Min-hyeok set off to the desert where Suzuki is.
