< Episode 42: Poisonous Man (1) >
“Anyone with even the slightest interest in medicinal or poisonous plants can guess this, but I don’t know why you’re doing that.”
‘!?’
Anyone can do it?
“……”
Are you trying to have fun with me now?
Or is this because you don’t know how to be humble?
Mrs. Jang, who was staring at Mo Kyung-un with a somewhat puzzled expression, quickly stuck out her tongue and said.
“I didn’t know that Amjongju’s disciple was so knowledgeable about poison.”
“Even Soja was surprised.”
Baek So-gang, the second son of King Baek Sa-ha of the Island Dogs, also agreed with his mother.
Among the warriors, unless they were very cautious in everything, most of them did not even pay attention to poisonous liquor because they thought it was cowardly or unbecoming of a warrior.
However, Mokgyeongun’s knowledge was difficult to understand without proper study of poisons and herbs.
‘What’s even more surprising is that ridiculous level of discrimination.’
King Seomdog always said to his sons:
It is said that the most important thing that a person practicing poison cannot neglect is the training of his sense of taste and smell to distinguish poison.
Although I don’t know the sense of smell, it wasn’t easy to train the sense of taste.
Poison is very dangerous to handle and if you make a mistake it can be life-threatening, so try a very small amount rather than a large amount.
After doing that, you will train yourself to build up your tolerance little by little.
As it took such a long time to become fully familiar with the taste of one poison, it was inevitable that the training of one’s sense of taste would slow down.
‘……Is it something you’re born with?’
From Baek Sogang’s perspective, it seemed like nothing else.
The fact that Mok Gyeong-un, who was only 17 years old and did not primarily practice poison, had such a sharp tongue could only be explained as a natural talent.
‘This is so true.’
Baek Sogang suddenly felt regretful.
Now that I think about it, he must have become a disciple of Amjongju through the gate of Sihyeolgok.
Doesn’t that mean that if my father had participated in the closing ceremony this time, he could have brought home a child with such great qualities?
He was a talent that even his father would have coveted.
‘If you brought me here, it’s from your original family… Ah!’
Baek Xiaogang’s eyes widened.
When I thought about it, I wondered why this person was looking for his father with three senior awards, but now I understand.
“Now I understand why the carpenter wanted to ask my father for guidance.”
“Ahh…..I see.”
Mrs. Jang also nodded to her second son Baek Sogang’s words.
If you are this knowledgeable and interested in poison, you will naturally want to receive the teachings of the King of Poison.
Now I understand his visit.
‘I thought it was a waste of time, but it wasn’t. Even if I don’t become a formal disciple, if I receive her husband’s teachings, Amjong and our Baek family may have a good relationship.’
The only problem was whether my husband would try to teach this child.
It may be said that it was determined by the rules of the meeting, but my husband was a stubborn person of his own.
Once I decided, I never went back.
Then it happened.
-Shoooooo!
“ha.”
Hui Zhou’s third disciple, Wei Shao-yeon, must have completely dispelled the poison, as he exhaled white steam, no longer purple, and immediately straightened his posture.
Baek Sogang, the second son of the Baek family, saw this and couldn’t help but be surprised.
It’s only half an angle to relieve the poison.
‘Your skills are really deep.’
It was just like the rumor.
Soon, Hoiju’s second disciple Jang Neungak also succeeded in completely eliminating the poison.
Although it was a narrow margin behind Wi So-yeon, it was just as fast.
Seeing them like this, Mrs. Jang folded her hands and said.
“The two of you have unusual skills. “I had no idea that the poison would be eliminated so quickly.”
Wi So-yeon waved her hand and expressed humility in response to her praise.
“The poison of the Baek family is truly amazing. “If I had lost my concentration just a little bit, it would have been difficult.”
“It can’t be. “You must have overcome it enough.”
“……”
On the other hand, Jang Nengye glared at Wei Xiaoyeon without saying a word.
Face became meaningless.
I tried to show how to relieve the poison first, but I was pushed back by Wi So-yeon’s monster-like strength and was delayed by a narrow margin.
-Wow!
My pride couldn’t help but be hurt.
He was pushed down in front of his henchmen.
Jang Neung-ak, who was glaring at her with uncomfortable eyes, soon turned his gaze and looked at Mo Gyeong-un.
‘…….Did this guy have this kind of talent?’
I vaguely heard a conversation.
It seemed like he relieved the poison in a different way than himself or Wi So-yeon.
According to what Mrs. Jang said, it seemed like she knew quite a bit about poison.
‘Then I covet it even more.’

We have already lost Iak Wi Maeng-cheon, the left arm of the Five Akhoe’s confidants.
A guy who was as versatile as this in many areas seemed like he could easily fill Wei Meng-cheon’s vacancy.
This was also the case for Wei So-yeon.
‘Did you have any knowledge of poison?’
At this point, I was trying to find out Mok Kyung-un’s true level of internal energy, but it seemed like he had detoxified the poison in some other way.
I think that’s why I saw an unexpected side.
Perhaps Mok Kyung-un’s true value lies in his diverse talents.
‘…….I might have to make him mine.’
I had some reservations because he was a political faction pawn, but it seemed worth bringing him in anyway if he was going to be taken away by the second brother-in-law.
It was at that time.
“Can I come in if I do? “Madam.”
Jang Nung-ak, Hui Zhou’s second disciple, asked Mrs. Jang directly.
Although it was only a short time ago, the detoxification was slower than that of Wi So-yeon, but that was not what was important right now.
The question was who would fight against King Seomdok first.
At his question, Mrs. Jang looked at her second son, Baek So-gang.
OK,
“First of all, the head of the house asked us to come inside together once the poison has been eliminated.”
“together?”
“yes. “I’m sorry, but that was the matriarch’s intention.”
Hearing his words, Wei Soyeon inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
If a player was taken away in a situation where support had to be requested, it could have been somewhat disadvantageous.
Of course, going in together wasn’t a very good thing, but at least it was better than having to go in alone first.
‘Tch.’
Jang Neungak clicked his tongue.
First, I tried to do it alone, but this would be quite annoying.
It was obvious that Wei So-yeon would try to interfere with him.
However, if I wanted to meet King Seomdog, I had no choice but to respect his will.
“…….All right.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
In response, Baek Sogang took the lead.
Standing at the entrance of the annex, he gave a warning in advance.
“As I said before, this place is full of poison. “I hope that by controlling your breathing using fortune telling techniques, you will be able to prevent toxins from entering the body.”
“I understand.”
“yes.”
“Prince Wood, you are…..”
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
“…I understand. “Unlike if you drank just one glass, the poison filled the interior of the annex, so if you feel like you can’t stand it, you must come out.”
“yes.”
When Mok Gyeong-un answered, Jang Neung-ak raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“If you feel tired, speak up. “I’m going to move you outside.”
He was the one who appeared favorably towards Mok Gyeong-un.
Wi So-yeon was about to say that she would also help, but soon kept her mouth shut.
I didn’t want to get into a fight with my second brother over something like this.
“Then, you three, please follow me.”
-Quick!
The door opened and the three people followed Baek Sogang, the second son of the Baek family, inside.
As I entered the outbuilding, there was another entrance inside, and a light miasma hung around like fog.
The walls on all sides were filled with rice straw filled with charcoal.
“Rice straw contains charcoal and other medicinal herbs that have detoxifying properties. If you don’t do this, the poison will leak out.”
Baek Xiaogang kindly explained this.
Then he pointed to the door leading inside.
“If you go down the hallway, the head of the family will be in the central inner room. “The venom is getting thicker, so please maintain your good fortune.”
-Quick!
Baek Sogang opened the door.
Then, the violet cloud in front of me obscured my vision.
When Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon saw this, a strange look appeared in their eyes.
‘What on earth are you doing inside?’
‘It’s an incredible poison.’
I had been warned in advance, so I knew, but I never expected to be in a place so full of poison.
Is this how we can have a proper conversation?
Even if you protect your body and body with luck, if you breathe incorrectly while talking, you might be busy dissolving the poison that enters your lungs.
“Please follow me.”
Baek Xiaogang took the lead and went inside.
Then Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon followed in with somewhat nervous faces.
Mok Gyeong-un, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned.
-Are you okay? I think the poison is too strong.
Rather, he was so worried about Cheongryeong that he asked.
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
The poison meant nothing to him.
The blood itself was extremely poisonous in the first place.
-Jump, jump, jump!
As we entered the long hallway, a place called the central inner room soon appeared.
However, the place was blocked not with wooden boards but with stones that appeared to be made of a special material.
Jang Neungak saw this and looked at Baek Sogang with puzzled eyes.
Then Baek Sogang answered.
“This is a special training room created to withstand the main family’s poisonous attack.”
“Practice room?”
“yes. When you reach the sixth layer or higher of the Pamadoggyeong (波魔魔毒經), which is the main body’s true spirit record, you can even melt things around you with poison, so you need a stone of the same material as the tin stone here to withstand it.”
Doesn’t that mean that ordinary materials such as stone or wood dissolve easily in poison?
Clearly, Baekga’s poisonous attack went beyond the normal scope.
‘That’s amazing.’
I felt like I once again understood how my teacher, the Lord of the Heaven and Earth Association, said that Baek Sa-ha, the King of Summons, was more dangerous than the two Five Kings who received the title of Eight Stars.
The island poison king Baek Sa-ha’s poison had the power to annihilate hundreds of warriors in a short period of time.
No, it could have been more than that.
At that time, Baek Sogang knocked on the wall that looked like a door and said.
“Father, no, head of the house. “I brought Prince Jang Neung-ak, Lady Wi So-yeon, and a disciple of King Amjong.”
Hearing his words, Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon stared at the door.
Here, you have to persuade him to support you somehow.
This was their common thought.
As I was doing that, I heard a voice from inside.
“All three of you came in?”
Although he was begging, the energy in his voice was amazing.
Indeed, it was worthy of the Five Kings, who are said to be the highest experts in the Heaven and Earth Council.
At that time, Jang Neungak controlled his breathing with luck and opened his mouth.
“Seomdog King, adult. This is Jang Neungak, the second disciple of Hoiju. “I wanted to congratulate my grandchild on his first birthday and send my greetings…”
“Aren’t you more interested in ashes than greetings?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it because you need Nobu’s support in the fight over the successor?”
‘!?’
Jang Neungak was momentarily speechless at the voice that suddenly pointed out the exact point.
Unlike the other Five Kings, he had never had a conversation before, but I never expected him to have such a direct speaking style.
However, Jang Neungak was not greatly embarrassed by this.
“Hehehe. After all, you are an old man. What else would you do by talking nonsense? you’re right.”
“It’s nice to be honest.”
Wi Soyeon hurriedly opened her mouth at the voice coming from inside.
“Elder Baek Saha. This is Wi So-yeon. “Do you remember?”
“Do you remember?”
“I really wanted to meet you.”
“Kkeul, you must have come for the same reason, of course.”
“I won’t deny it.”
She also answered honestly.
Looking at the way Baek Sa-ha was talking now, it seemed like saying something out of the blue would only arouse animosity.
“Elder…”
It was when Wei So-yeon was about to say something.
Jang Neungak cut her off and spoke first.
“Elder. I will tell you this honestly. Please help me.”
‘As expected, it comes out like this.’
Wei So-yeon bit her lower lip and then raised her voice and tried to intervene.
“Elder!”
“stop!”
A brief exchange of words erupted from inside the door.
The two people immediately fell silent as the sound rang in their ears.
Soon, Baek Sa-ha’s voice was heard again.
“Wanting to be a successor is something that comes before words come before actions.”
“What is that?”
“Do you want to receive support from Nobu?”
Doesn’t that sound obvious?
So, they came here under the pretext of a first birthday party.
The two people nodded and answered.
“We need support from seniors.”
“That’s right.”
“Kkeul, if you really want to receive Nobu’s approval, show your actions before your words.”
“……What do you mean by that?”
“It is pointless to tell the old lady the detailed story. If you are a warrior, you prove yourself with strength. “If you want to become the owner of the company, come inside and try to get Nobu out of his seat.”
At Baek Sa-ha’s words, Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon’s expressions hardened.
Since I had already met the conditions for entering, I thought it would be up to me to persuade them through conversation from now on.
But I had no idea that another test was waiting for me.
I knew that Baek Sa-ha had an eccentric and stubborn personality, but this was unexpected.
‘Are you trying to test inaction?’
However, it seemed like they were ignoring themselves more than I thought.
Even though Baek Sa-ha, the king of island poisons, had a different style of poison than others, they were disciples of Hoi-ju, who could be said to be the supreme leader of the Heaven and Earth Association.
He was confident that even the executives could not ignore such inaction.
‘If it’s just a matter of raising him up.’
It wasn’t that difficult.
In response, Jang Neungak took the initiative and spoke.
“If you do, I will do it first. “Elderly.”
“It doesn’t matter who does it first. “As long as he can come in here and help Nobu stand up, I will support him as much as I can.”
When Jang Neungak said that he didn’t care, the corner of his mouth turned up slyly.
First of all, because this place is full of poison, the longer you stay, the more your internal power is consumed.
Therefore, if you were to step forward, it would be advantageous to do so first.
‘You’d think… right?’
Wei Shao-yeon laughed inwardly.
Her thoughts were different.
Since I was confident in my internal skills anyway, I was confident that I would last longer than Jang Neung-ak, and I thought it would be more advantageous if I came forward as a latecomer because I could figure out how King Seomdog would respond.
“If you do, I will go in. “Elderly.”
“Cluck. “Try it.”
Jang Neungak placed his palm on the door made of stone and pushed it.
The door was thicker than I expected so I had to use some force.
-Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The door opened and the inside slowly began to appear.
It was that moment.
-Whaaaaaaaa!
The moment the door is half-open,
-thud!
“Sigh.”
Jang Neungak, who was pushing the door, knelt on one knee and clutched his chest.
‘What is this?’
I feel sick and feel blood in my mouth.
Even so, the miasma that filled the annex was very strong, and it was difficult to breathe because of the incomparably strong miasma.
“Cough.”
Black blood flowed from Jang Neungak’s mouth.
However, he was not the only one exposed to this poison.
-Park!
Wei So-yeon also entered into the fortune of fortune, lying cross-legged due to the terrible venom that suddenly rushed out.
It was difficult to compare this to the miasma that filled the hallway of the annex.
The poison was so strong that my hands and feet were shaking.
‘Ahhh. Geez…’
Baek Sa-ha’s second son, Baek So-gang, who was watching this, clicked his tongue inwardly.
My father had no intention of supporting any of them in the first place.
Therefore, they presented a challenge that could never be overcome.
‘Pamadogyeong seven layers.’
The venom spewing out from within was a mist of poison that could only be expelled by reaching the seventh level of the Permanent Poison Sutra.
This was not the type of poison that even a supreme expert could withstand.
The only way to protect against this was to learn the same Pamadok Sutra as he did and adapt to the poison.
however,
“It’s fun. It releases poison from its body in the form of mist. “Are you saying this is a poison attack?”
‘!?’
Baek Sogang’s eyes widened at the voice he heard.
There was one person who had forgotten about watching these two.
He was none other than Mok Gyeong-un, a disciple of Amjongju.
‘No, how?’
Baek Sogang couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment.
He thought that no matter how well-versed he was in poison, he would not have been able to endure this time.
But Mok Gyeong-un was standing there looking completely fine.
“A woodworker? How…”
At that time, Baek Sa-ha’s voice was heard in a room filled with dark purple fog.
“……What on earth are you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“How can you withstand this poison?”
-Ssssss!
Eventually, the fog that was blocking the view dispersed, and the purple face of an old man was seen sitting cross-legged on the floor with sharp nails sticking out.
He was the king of Seomdok and died.
Baek Saha had a look in his eyes that he could not understand.
It was completely unexpected that even the two disciples of Hoiju looked so fine in a miasma that they could not withstand.
even,
‘That kid…isn’t he even crying right now?’
If you were using Qi, you would have felt it from the beginning.
But you’re holding on in this place full of poison without protecting yourself with luck?
That means it has resistance to poison…
“……..You really learned poison?”
To his question, Mok Kyung-un shook his head and answered.
“iced coffee. “It’s not like that.”
“No? But how can you withstand this terrible poison?”
In response to Baek Sa-ha’s question, Mok Kyung-un tilted his head with an expression of incomprehension.
Then,
“Seriously? “This?”
‘!?’
