Chapter 126
After guiding Seok Gang and Geom Woo-Saeng to their residence, Baek Mu-Gun visited Baek Cheon-Sang again.
Have you dropped them off at their residence?
Yes. I introduced them to the Four Peerless Wanderers before heading back here, Mu-Gun informed Cheon-Sang.
They are all similar in age and were on active duty during the same era, so they probably have a lot in common, Cheon-Sang said in delight.
They have never met in person before, but they are well aware of each others reputation and have similar personalities. They will likely find it easy to bond.
Thats a relief. It would be a big problem if the venerable elders fail to get along with each other.
That wont happen, so dont have to worry, Mu-Gun reassured Cheon-Sang.
Alright. Did anything unprecedented happen in Guangdong Province?
We hunted a divine beast called the Three-Headed Centipede on Mount Nankun.
The Three-Headed Centipede?
As its name suggests, it was a centipede that was over fifty feet long and had three heads.
How did you find it?
Our new venerable elders had their hearts set on slaying it, so I accompanied them.
They took the beast core, didnt they?
The Three-Headed Centipede had not one but three beast cores. I took one, and the two venerable elders took the other two.
Did you just say it had three beast cores? Cheon-Sang asked in surprise.
Yes. Each head had one. Mu-Gun further explained.
That makes me wish it was nine-headed instead. We would have gotten nine beast cores, Cheon-Sang joked.
That would have made it harder to hunt. Despite the two venerable elders martial prowess, they failed to take down the Three-Headed Centipede multiple times. Mu-Gun sounded nervous, which served as a testament to how strong the divine beast was.
You dont have to take it so seriously.
Anyway, thats the end of my report regarding the divine beast. I would like to absorb the beast core that I have obtained. Would that be fine? Mu-Gun asked for Cheon-Sangs permission.
You were the one who obtained it, so do with it as you please.
Thank you.
Why thank me? Its only natural for you to have it. Now, is there anything else?
I have confirmed that someone is after me, Mu-Gun replied.
What do you mean?
Mu-Gun told Cheon-Sang about the letter he received.
You made the right decision to not follow its demands.
However, as a consequence, I missed an opportunity to find out who the enemy was.
Your safety is much more important than that. We can figure out who our enemy is later, but you only have one life. Make sure you put your safety above all else from now on, Cheon-Sang cautioned Mu-Gun.
Understood.
That being said, do you have any guesses about who sent the letter?
I gave it some thought on the way back. I suspect the Guangdong Jin Family.
The Guangdong Jin Family? Cheon-Sang confirmed.
Thats good. I have actually been planning to get rid of them. What about the designation of responsibilities?
A total of seven evil sects pose a threat in Zhejiang Province. Each of our allies was assigned to an evil sect based on their forces and geographical location. However, as the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, I decided that we should be the ones to wipe out the Black Sword Gang, the largest force among the evil sects.
The Black Sword Gang was based in Shaoxing. Hangzhous Byeok Sword Manor or Ningbos Mei Household were closer to Shaoxing, so they normally would have been tasked with eliminating the evil sect. However, since the Black Sword Gang had the largest force, the Baek Sword Sect decided to handle them instead. Mu-Gun agreed with that decision. As the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, he thought it was only natural for them to take on the biggest threat.
When will we start the operation? Mu-Gun asked.
We cant spill blood ahead of a celebration. Hence, we plan to proceed after your wedding. Since I will be personally taking command of this battle anyway, you dont have to worry about anything.
You will, Father? Mu-Gun was surprised.
I cant just leave everything to you, can I? This decision is final, so just focus on your marriage, Cheon-Sang assured Mu-Gun.
Understood.
Even though the Black Sword Gang was the largest evil sect in Zhejiang Province, they were not a threat to Cheon-Sang, an Absolute Realm master. Hence, Mu-Gun did not object to the decision.
After his meeting with Cheon-Sang, Mu-Gun left the White Sword Pavilion and headed to the Flower Honor Manor. When he arrived, he had hot intercourse and spent time catching up with Dan Seol-Young, whom he had not seen for more than a month because he was away in Guangdong Province.
The next day, Mu-Gun traveled to Mount Yandang with the Six White Wolves, who carried the dried pieces of the Three-Headed Centipede, to deliver the divine beasts corpse to the Medicine King Family and collect the spiritual pills that they had produced since the last time he visited them. Upon arriving at the Medicine King Familys manor, he immediately met up with Seonwoo Pyo and showed him the Three-Headed Centipedes dried corpse.
What do you think? Mu-Gun asked Seonwoo Pyo.
Its a material of the highest quality. It contains the energy of the Three-Headed Centipede, a divine beast, so it should produce outstanding effects when used to create spiritual pills. Im confident it would also produce excellent effects as a medicinal ingredient. Seonwoo Pyo sounded delighted.
Thats a relief. I was worried it would be useless.
Of course not. Huge sums of money alone normally would not be enough to buy divine beast corpses. If you left it behind, you would not have heard the end of it from me.
Well then, please use the Three-Headed Centipedes corpse as you please, Patriarch Seonwoo.
Thank you for bringing such precious material. Im curious, though. What did you do with its beast core?
The Three-Headed Centipede had a beast core in each of its heads. I took one of them and gave the rest to the people who hunted it down with me.
This divine beast has three beast cores? Thats surprising. Are you sure everything would be fine even if we do not process them?
Beast cores contained the energy of divine beasts. Hence, absorbing them in their rawest form could put too much burden on ones body. The beast core of divine beasts that possessed poison attributes, in particular, were normally imbued with poison qi. Consuming it without purifying it could cause grave injuries. A beast core could also contain too much energy for its consumer to handle, resulting in complicated problems. Processing beast cores was essential in avoiding side effects when consumed.
The three beast cores are imbued with thunder qi, fire qi, and ice qi respectively, and their energy is so pure that it eliminates the need to detoxify or process it first. Although they do contain enormous energy, they dont have enough to cause problems, Mu-Gun assured Seonwoo Pyo.
I see.
That aside, how did it go with the newly opened medical clinic in Hangzhou?
Were getting more patients over there as word of mouth spreads, Seonwoo Pyo shared the good news.
It will soon be crowded with patients, then.
It would be a problem if we get too many patients. After all, that means we will also need even more medicine.
You dont have to worry too much about that. I have instructed the Hangzhou Merchant Company to increase the amount of medicinal materials they buy, so even if we do get more patients, we wont suffer from the shortage of medicinal materials.
Mu-Gun had instructed the Hangzhou Merchant Company to prioritize and increase the purchase of medicinal materials while preparing to open the Shennong Clinic in Hangzhou. As he had ordered, the Hangzhou Merchant Company began transacting with herb dealers in various parts of the Central Plains and started working on increasing the volume they bought per transaction. He initially wanted to commission the Eun Merchant Group for this task. However, unlike the Eun Merchant Group, Mu-Gun owned the Hangzhou Merchant Company, which meant he did not have to pay a fee when transacting with them.
Thank you. It would have been difficult for the Shennong Clinic to settle down as quickly as it did if it werent for you, Young Patriarch Baek.
Its nothing compared to what the Medicine King Family has done for our sect.
Hearing you say that makes me think we need to start putting more effort into producing pills.
Im already satisfied with how things are going, Mu-Gun responded in kind.
Alright. Please wait a moment. I will bring over the spiritual pills that we have concocted so far.
Seonwoo Pyo summoned a subordinate and instructed him to bring the spiritual pills over. Upon accepting the package, which contained five Heavenly Medicine Pills and thirty-five Hundred Herb Pills, Mu-Gun returned to the Baek Sword Sect with the Six White Wolves.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
