Chapter 565: 559

Chapter 559

Im So-Byeongs eyes sparkled as he looked at each ingredient stacked up.

Each of these ingredients are unique.

While it wasnt a top-tier elixir, it certainly wasnt something easy to acquire.

Drrrr!

Lastly, a blue crystal descended. Im So-Byeong studied it with a curious expression.

Ice Crystal.

Yes.

You traveled to the North Sea to retrieve this?

Yes.

So it wasnt a scam.

No, didnt I already assure you of that!

Chung Myung widened his eyes in indignation while Im So-Byeong wore an awkward expression, coughing lightly.

Wasnt there a proverb stating that the strongest person was the best? Yet it was as if there was anger

But

Uh?

I think there are some ice crystals with different colors?

Ah, these?

Chung Myung kicked the distinctive ice crystals he had collected earlier. Unlike typical samples, they possessed a light blue hue. They were remnants of the defeated high priest, although their potency had diminished.

This crystal is of superior quality. I have a special task for you.

I dont think it is so good.

Hmm. Are you attempting to trick me?

Naturally, Im So-Byeong wasnt one to be easily duped. Very few people on the planet would dare to try and swindle the Green Forest King.

However, one of these rare humans stood directly before him.

So, youre the one making the Soul Vitality Pill?

Yes, indeed.

Hmm. As I thought, Mount Hua is distinctive. Ive heard that the training of a Tao sect differs from that of other sects. So, who is responsible for the pill?

Me.

Uh?

Me.

.

A subtle twitch crossed the face of Im So-Byeong, who had yet to lose his composure.

You?

Yes.

Not anyone else but you, the Taoist?

Yes, I said yes.

So it truly is this Taoist?

What kind of man is he then!?

Chung Myung furrowed his brow, but Im So-Byeong still had much to say.

N-no, theres more than just one or two people at Mount Hua. There are numerous. So why do you insist on choosing him?

When it came to the reliability of Chung Myung, opinions varied with the person. Certainly, Chung Myung was dependable when it came to fighting, but he might not be the ideal choice if precision was required.

Yet, the notion that Chung Myung had spent 10,000 gold, upon which Im So-Byeongs life relied, and now had to craft the pill, felt rather peculiar.

Im the only one who can create this.

Truly, the heavens have abandoned me.

Im So-Byeong, having left without understanding, only trembled.

There wont be any problems, right?

Dont you trust me?

For the first time in his life, Im So-Byeong felt the stirrings of despair.

Ugh!

Kwak Pyung fell down screaming after being struck by Jo Guls sword.

A-argh! My waist!

Tsk tsk.

Jo Gul clucked his tongue while observing Kwak Pyung.

Not only was Kwak Pyung taken aback, but many who had suffered at his hands were also shell-shocked. It was as if the third-class disciples had gathered together at the training hall.

So many errors. How on earth have you been training if your skills have deteriorated this much?

Jo Gul roared. At his yell, all the disciples visibly flinched and lowered their heads in shame.

A specific emotion surged within Jo Gul as he watched this unfold.

This!

Reflecting on it, no one felt more misunderstood than Jo Gul.

Despite being only a third-class disciple, he maintained the second-highest ranking among the disciples. Besides Yoon Jong, no one held a superior position to him.

In a conventional martial arts sect, he wouldnt have any authority. However, amongst the third-class disciples, he wielded considerable influence.

And yet

Its all because I associate with that person.

Whenever something occurred, he was placed alongside Baek Cheon or Yu Yiseol, both second-class disciples, and his sahyung, another third-class disciple, consequently leaving him treated like the youngest.

Uh?

Werent Chung Myung and Tang Soso younger than him in the hierarchy?

But what significance did that hold, truly!

Regardless, seeing the faces of the sajaes fearing him for the first time, it felt as though a void, present during their long journeys, was finally being filled.

Baek Cheon gestured towards the chairs, and without a word, the two complied.

See now, it wasnt too long after I returned but could it be because of Chung Myung?

No.

The moment the name Chung Myung was mentioned, a dull gleam enveloped Baek Cheon.

Rest assured, its not because of Chung Myung.

Thank heavens. I felt my stomach clench.

Beneath Baek Cheons gaze, deep shadows lingered.

The pair sighed. They were already suffering enough from the stomach pain inflicted by Chung Myung, but could they also control the heartache of Baek Cheon?

Baek Cheons face, previously tired, now turned serious.

Now, what happened?

Hmm

Upon receiving the report, Baek Cheons face became stiff.

The gap

Yes.

Yoon Jong gave a slow nod.

Through sparring, the sajaes have definitely evolved. Their bodies became stronger, and their sword techniques more refined.

Really?

Yes, but something seems to be lacking.

Hmm.

Upon setting his eyes on Jo Gul, Baek Cheon noted a similar response - a nod of agreement.

I felt the same. Their skills definitely improved somewhat but they lack a certain vitality?

Jo Gul pondered a moment before responding once more.

I cannot voice this directly to the sajaes, but it appears Soso is stronger than them.

At what point did Soso enter Mount Hua?

Interestingly, she never neglected her training and undertook rigorous exercises that perplexed the second and third-grade disciples.

Considering her current state, she appears to have surpassed the other third-grade disciples, which shouldnt have been possible.

But Jo Gul felt so.

Hmm.

On hearing these words, Baek Cheon gave a nod.

I understand what youre trying to convey. I felt the same.

Did Sasuk also spar with them?

In Chung Myungs absence, I had to step in. Guiding the sajaes is the responsibility of the chief disciple.

Baek Cheon addressed Yoon Jong and Jo Gul, his features darkening slightly.

Firstly, we need to clarify something. Its not that the other sajaes slacked off their training while we were gone. Objectively speaking, their skills have improved.

So?

It is a problem with our eyes.

Pardon?

A somber smile crossed his face as he pondered on the North Sea.

He had risked his life in the North Sea Ice Palace, confronting the elders of the Ice Palace in intense combat.

Was that the extent of it?

No, they battled against the Demonic Sect, enemies who possessed skills potent enough to obliterate the Ice Palace warriors in a heartbeat. They fought with gritted teeth and clenched fists, staking their lives against the imposing High Priest.

The swords of his fellow disciples, engaged in regular training, surely did not look appealing to them.

Even if we had the same starting point, it seems that we have taken a hundred steps compared to their ten. Wouldnt they appear to have barely moved from where they began?

Ah

Jo Gul nodded in understanding. Yet it appeared that merely comprehending it wasnt enough for Yoon Jong.

We didnt train more than them when we ventured to the North Sea. We merely used cart pulling as our training method while the rest of Mount Hua continued traditional training. There shouldnt be a difference, right?

Of course, there is a difference.

Baek Cheon nodded.

This difference needs acknowledgment.

But our training methods

Hmm.

Baek Cheon pondered, standing tall with straightened shoulders.

Soon after, an incredible force surged from him, radiating outward. Yoon Jong and Jo Gul trembled under its staggering intensity.

Sasuk

When did he become this powerful?

If you discover a satisfactory method, that is Mount Hua. What else is the issue?

Yes!

Yes, Sasuk!

Their hearts swelled in response to this poignant statement, answering loudly with renewed curiosity.

With a thunderous voice, Baek Cheon gave his order.

You lot, move out.

Yes.

Summon Chung Myung immediately!

The happy expressions of Jo Gul and Yoon Jong turned somber.

Hurry.

This no, then why were you looking like you had some enlightenment?

I felt a rush of excitement Damn it
