263. East, Cheonseon Academy (28)
“You won’t die during the treatment, right?”
Namgung Unyeon, who had taken off his shirt and was sitting quietly in a chair, asked.
“Hmm…”
From noble mtl dot com
I narrowly spread my senses and read the flow of the energy reflected on his back in detail.
The pulse was cut off while it was going from the danjeon down the spine to the top. It wouldn’t have been a big hindrance to walking and running normally, but it was a different story when dealing with a sword.
‘With a body like this, you’ve completed the Changgung Muae sword method…’
Obviously, isn’t it like handling a sword with your feet?
Inevitably, the arm holding the sword needs internal energy, but since the path to the upper body is cut off, he must have been forcibly injecting internal energy.
Instead of flowing through the veins, they must have spread the energy indiscriminately throughout the body to somehow reach the disconnected veins.
The energy he spread stimulated the powerful yin energy that had been cutting off the pulse near the spine, and eventually created the result of spreading the yin energy throughout the body.
It is an extremely inefficient and bad method that is tantamount to self-destruction.
“Cadet Zeto…?”
Nevertheless, he is alive.
With such a weak body, he did absurd things, but he was still alive and spitting out questionable voices at me.
If it was a normal stomatitis, I would have been lying in bed and dying in real time, screaming in pain, or I would have died at a young age.
There is only one reason why he was able to endure the stomatitis.
“Have you always been taking elixirs?”
“Yes, that’s right. I was eating a powder made by grinding mushrooms called Yeongcheon Seok-gyun. The family lord said that he was looking for sunflower for a cure, but it’s not that easy to find.”
“It must have been quite expensive.”
He was taking the elixir of yang energy, which had the opposite properties of yin energy.
And as everyone knows, any elixir is quite expensive. Since the palatal artery is a congenital disease, it must have consumed countless elixirs since childhood, and there are few families in the world that can endure such an astronomical amount.
“I’m out of my mind to say this, but Namgung’s family is so full and overflowing that they don’t care about elixirs or money. Thanks to that, Unyeon was able to lead a normal life.”
Soon after, Namgung Se-hwi, who was sitting in a corner, brought out the correct answer.
He was with me to monitor me, saying that my words about treating the palatal artery with acupuncture were unreliable.
“Certainly, I think I could have lived a normal life if I hadn’t raised the sword. Until the Namgung family ran out of money.”
“Do you know why he’s holding a sword?”
“I know.”
“I don’t think I’ve been informed, but…”
Namgung Unyeon, who was showing her back from a distance, turned her head and looked at me with open eyes.
“Hmm, I know everything.”
“I want to yell at you for bullsh*t… But I’m getting tired of doubting you. Unlucky, you’re right. This guy doesn’t give people his time.”
“That’s because I’m busy.”
She smiled at Namgung Sehwi, who was sticking her mouth out as if disapproving.
Now he picked up the acupuncture needle he had been laying beside him, thinking that he might start treatment soon.
At this, Namgung Un-yeon asks a question again.
“I… I don’t think I’ve heard the answer yet.”
“Oh, can I die?”
I picked up the needle and continued speaking in a calm voice.
“Somnia is a rare disease that cannot be cured even if a saintess from the Holy Land visits as part of arteriosclerosis. Unlike common diseases, it cannot be cured with divine power. Rather, it is a dragon that can change the mana circuit. It’s better to go find…”
“Dragon?”
“Ah, I mean tolerance.”
Of course there were dragons in the East too, and they were called dragons.
“…How do you meet Yongin? They say they live in this world, but they are extremely reluctant to reveal their identities. Speak.”
Sierra, who secretly covered her mouth with her sleeve at Namgung Sehwi’s grumbling, let out a laugh.
[ Phuw, it’s a dragon in a remote village. It reminds me of a blacksmith we know. ]
Unfortunately, if it was a dragon living in a remote village, I knew even Sierra. Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn’t seen ‘Day de Loss’ for quite some time.
“Well… Anyway, to go further, in the case of general acupuncturists, the probability of a patient suffering from arthropathy dying while treating the palatal artery is more than 90%. Even if death does not result, the treatment will be successful. There’s no probability. It’s a different level between pinpointing blood points with acupuncture and pinpointing the pulse through which inner energy flows.”
“Yes. I have already met all the acupuncturists who say they are good. All of them said that the treatment was impossible and gave up.”
“That’s the case with a typical acupuncturist.”
“Are you different?”
“……”
The answer was replaced by raising the corner of the mouth.
“Brother, my situation doesn’t change no matter how many times I die. In a way, he’s the first person who said that he can be cured, so I’ll trust him. You know very well that he’s not a fraudster.”
“I’m a swindler… One last thing I want to ask you. When I confronted you… How did you blunt my sword with a sword that wasn’t even wrapped around your sword and get rid of the pressure of the Emperor’s sword brother? If that’s not witchcraft Please don’t ask for an explanation.”
“Description…”
“Even if it’s your ‘secret’ that you can’t easily tell others, if there’s no explanation, I can’t trust you. I don’t want to gamble with my brother’s life.”
I can understand Namgung Sehwi’s feelings.
It was the older brother’s natural role to stop his younger brother from desperately throwing himself into the pit of fire.
Because even he won’t be able to tell whether it will be a fire that leads straight to death or a bonfire of hope that will keep the spark of life alive.
“Well, if it can alleviate the suspicion of small cooperation. It’s not like it’s a big deal in the first place.”
I picked up the needle and looked at the objects around me. It was even better if it was moderately hard.
‘I’d like the white porcelain on the table over there.’
I decided on an object that could serve as an example and continued the explanation.
“Focus on the needle I’m holding. It doesn’t contain any mana or energy. And you can see that my body hasn’t been strengthened in any way.”
“”……””
Brother Namgung nodded, and immediately I threw a spit at the red circle on the white porcelain.
ㅡTing!!
ㅡChaeng-Geurang!!
Soon after the needle hit the white porcelain, it lost its power and fell to the floor.
It was very different from the usual daggers.
“It’s a little different from a dagger.”
“I’m sure. I’ve never used a dagger before.”
If it had been a dagger thrown hard, it would have pierced and shattered the white porcelain.
However, I deliberately adjusted the force and threw the spit weakly enough so that the white porcelain would not break.
I just touched on the structural weakness of white porcelain.
So the saliva bounced off the white porcelain without even breaking it, but the white porcelain shattered neatly.
Of course, if you threw it hard, it could have penetrated the white porcelain. However, I deliberately adjusted the power to show that it can also be used for acupuncture.
“A ghost is about to mourn. What the hell is the principle…?”
Namgung Se-hwi, who was examining the broken white porcelain and the needle that fell on the floor, raised a question.
Come to think of it, the explanation was still there.
“Everything that exists in this world has its own structure. Whether it’s a jar or a sword steel, even more magic, it’s the same. And I can detect the weakness of that structure. Of course, a well-made object. I don’t feel any structural weakness in my strength, but…”
“……”
Namgung Sehwi scratches his head after the long explanation. Namgoong Unyeon’s reaction was not very different.
“You can understand by saying that I have better eyesight than others.”
At their lukewarm reaction, which was difficult to understand, I tapped the bandage around my eye and threw a joke with a voice full of laughter.
“”……””
But because of the joke that was more difficult to understand than the explanation, silence came in an instant.
Immediately, I stood up from my chair and opened my mouth to clear the cluttered atmosphere.
“Let’s start treatment. Tonight isn’t very long.”
I was tired of seeing Namgung Unyeon’s thin back.
***
“You treated arteriosclerosis with acupuncture?!”
Keraph, who was walking together at night, raised his voice as if it were absurd.
“That’s right.”
“How the hell…?”
“How about…”
First, acupuncture was placed near the spine where the yin energy, which is the cause of the palatal artery, is the thickest.
A single error could have left Namgung Unyeon crippled, but since he had reached the 10th level of acupuncture, there was no such mistake.
However, there was no particular structure to the negative energy, so it was not something that could be eliminated by capturing weaknesses.
However, Yin Qi was one of the intangible energies after all, so structurally it was no different from demon Qi.
What was important to treat the palatal artery was the ‘prosthetic arm’ that Zeppetti made.
However, it was not a prosthetic hand made to absorb negative energy, so if it was a situation where demonic energy was stored in the storage, it might not have accepted the negative energy.
But didn’t he wipe out the demonic energy that was already in his prosthetic arm while fending off the attack of the demons of Yosusu Mountain?
I managed to get rid of that thick tone moderately.
I shouldn’t have absorbed all of the yin energy.
He had been consuming the elixir of yang energy before, so if he sucked in all the yin energy, he could suffer from excessive yang energy, so he had to balance it properly.
If it was a normal arm, it could have been frozen by the cold air emitted by the yin energy, but the prosthetic arm moved without much difficulty.
The temperature of the prosthetic hand didn’t even get cold, perhaps because it was treated with a special coating to prevent the demon from escaping.
After the sound device was safely taken out, it was necessary to pierce the pulse so that the disconnected pulse could resume… Namgung Se-hwi volunteered to take care of that.
That’s how I was able to safely treat the palatal artery.
“…It worked.”
But it was too much trouble to bring up this long and wordy explanation, so I glossed over it.
“You’re too lazy to explain.”
Keraph, realizing my intentions, agreed.
“By the way, what is arteriosclerosis? Is it such a serious disease? To cure it means you can cure your sister’s disease as well, right?”
Next, Volk, who was next to Keraf, sticks out his face, looks at me blankly, and asks such a question.
“Ha ha, of course.”
Namgung Un-yeon, judged by Sang-chang Sang-chang, was a ‘main character’. Thanks to her, the progress of ‘Saint’ increased greatly, but she unfortunately stayed at 9%.
At this pace, I wonder if I’ll get the ‘saint’ skill before I heal Volk’s sister.
“Zetto, the urethra collector doesn’t move much, but I haven’t found a carrier yet.”
“It’s okay. There’s no need to look for it. The schedule has been moved up. I’m going to see Wii Zihan from now on.”
“Wui Zihan…?”
“Now I will explain my plan.”
The time given to me is only two days.
So I thought I’d finish everything by tonight.
There were a total of two plans I made.
Plan A is to insert the syringe I got from the blood mage I caught in Ungwigok, which is now in my arms, into him.
It was easy to clean up, and it was safe in its own right as there was an opportunity to escape when he was going through confusion and turning into a monster.
With Volk and Keraf, evacuation won’t be a big problem.
However, the key was whether a strong man like Wei Zihan would be given the timing to insert the syringe.
Plan B wasn’t much.
After Yui Zihan provoked him to the point of thinking he should deal with me right away, somehow buying time before the instructors arrive.
After-processing is tricky and not safe, but the conditions were as easy as it was, so it was the next best thing.
