Chapter 128

After watching Cho Woo-Kyung absorb the fire qi beast core, Baek Mu-Gun visited Baek Cheon-Sang at the White Sword Pavillion and had a cup of tea with him.

How do you plan to use the new batch of Heavenly Medicine Pills? Cheon-Sang asked.

It would be best to give three of them to the squad leaders who did not receive one last time.

I agree. What about the remaining two pills?

Personally, I would give them to the Young Patriarchs of the Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect.

Why is that?

The Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect will become the Baek Sword Sects arms in leading the Zhejiang Martial Alliance. Hence, strengthening them is just as important as strengthening the Baek Sword Sect.

Hmm, I see what you mean. Still, wouldnt it be better to prioritize taking care of our sects direct bloodline? I have been thinking of giving Yong-Hwan and Jin-Ryong a Heavenly Medicine Pill each, Cheon-Sang countered. Baek Yong-Hwan, son of Baek Cheon-Gi, and Baek Jin-Ryong, son of Baek Cheon-Ho, were the most talented individuals among the direct bloodline of the Baek Family, second only to Mu-Gun. Cheon-Sang wanted to develop their strength so they could help Mu-Gun in the future.

Mu-Gun was aware of Cheon-Sangs intention and also agreed to some extent that they should nurture the Baek Familys bloodline. However, he thought that it would be difficult for the Baek Sword Sect to achieve true growth if they kept favoring the Baek Familys bloodline. Although the Baek Sword Sects development was also important, they should not be fixated on blood ties for them to truly grow. As the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, the Baek Sword Sect had to help the entire alliance grow stronger.

Hence, Mu-Gun planned to evenly distribute the Heavenly Medicine Pill between the Baek Sword Sect and the Zhejiang Martial Alliance. Since they had already agreed to give three of the Baek Sword Corps squad leaders a pill each, he thought that it was only right to use the other two pills to strengthen the Zhejiang Martial Alliance.

Hmm

After listening to Mu-Guns explanation, Cheon-Sang tapped the armrest of his chair with his finger and pondered for a moment.

Fine. Lets do as you say, Cheon-Sang eventually decided.

You are the Baek Sword Sect Patriarch, Father. Please do what you truly desire. You dont have to go out of your way to agree with me, Mu-Gun firmly said. He had noticed that his father had been agreeing with his opinion for quite some time now.

Although it was great to always have his way, Cheon-Sangs opinion as the Baek Sword Sect Patriarch was also important.

I am following your suggestion because I find it the best course of action as well. As you said, the development of the Zhejiang Martial Alliance is just as important as the Baek Sword Sects growth. So, lets give the Heavenly Medicine Pills to the acting patriarch of the Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect.

Mu-Guns explanation made Cheon-Sang realize that developing the power of the Zhejiang Martial Alliance was more urgent than progressing the growth of the Baek Sword Sect. The Baek Sword Sect had eight Absolute Realm mastersCheon-Sang, Mu-Gun, and the six venerable elders. On the other hand, the other Ten Clans of Zhejiang didnt have a single Absolute Realm master. Heavenly Medicine Pills alone would not be enough to create Absolute Realm masters, but it could at least increase the number of their Upper Peak Realm masters.

Since the Baek Sword Sect was in an alliance with the other Ten Clans of Zhejiang, they had to increase their allies power to some extent. Moreover, Cheon-Sang judged that using their constant supply of Heavenly Medicine Pills to help the highest-ranking martial artists of the Ten Clans of Zhejiang advance into the Upper Peak Realm would be best in the long run. Jeong Ho-Gun and Jo Won-Yee would still be far from reaching that realm even if they were to consume a Heavenly Medicine Pill, but Mu-Gun and Cheon-Sang decided to give the pills to them anyway since they were the future leaders of the Justice Martial Sect and the Flying Lance Sect.

Mu-Gun also planned to gather the Ten Clans of Zhejiangs disciples and successors to form the Latent Dragon Squad. The squads objective would be to promote unity among the successors and establish a solid internal hierarchy that would put the Baek Sword Sect in control of the Zhejiang Martial Alliance. To prepare for that plan, nurturing Ho-Gun and Won-Yees skills was necessary.

Cheon-Sang permitted Mu-Gun to give the Heavenly Medicine Pills to Ho-Gun and Won-Yee. Not long after, Mu-Gun returned to his residence and summoned Ho-Gun and Won-Yee. The two were focused on their martial arts training with the Six White Wolves. They initially struggled to get used to the Six White Wolves training schedule since the Six White Wolves dedicated most of their time to training their martial arts. However, the two had since been immersed in martial arts training, which they thought was only natural. Their skills quickly progressed as a result.

Noticing the improvements in their skills, the two became so excited that they devoted even more of their time to martial arts training. They now practiced martial arts all day without anyone telling them to.

Ho-Gun and Won-Yee arrived at Mu-Guns residence a little over fifteen minutes after Mu-Gun sent someone to call them.

Welcome.

Thank you. What could be so important that you had to summon us at this hour? Ho-Gun asked curiously.

Mu-Gun was well aware that they were supposed to be training right now. The fact that he called for them anyway meant whatever they had to talk about was more important than martial arts training. After all, he normally did not disturb their training unless absolutely necessary.

I have something for you two.

Something for us?

What do you think it is? Mu-Gun played around.

Well, looking at your expression, it doesnt seem to be something bad, Won-Yee said upon seeing the smile on Mu-Guns face.

What is it? Stop beating around the bush and just tell us, Ho-Gun urged.

Here. Take it.

Mu-Gun took out two leather pouches from his pockets and handed them to Won-Yee and Ho-Gun. The pouches contained a Heavenly Medicine Pill each.

Isnt this!?

Is this perhaps a spiritual pill?

Won-Yee and Ho-Gun looked at Mu-Gun in shock.

Thats right. Its the Heavenly Medicine Pill.

Why do you think I called you?

I am not certain if this is too hasty of me, but I think you called me because you want to teach me a new martial art, Young Patriarch.

And youre absolutely correct.

Really?

Yes. However, the martial art that I am about to teach you is not the Baek Sword Sects, Mu-Gun revealed.

Does that mean youre going to teach me another clans martial arts? Yong-Hwan asked, looking slightly flustered.

I defeated Lulin Battle King Lee Ja-Gyung the other day and obtained his martial art as my spoils of war.

Youre going to teach me the Lulin Battle Kings martial art? Yong-Hwan asked in shock.

The Lulin Battle Kings martial art, the Bloodthirsty Black Wind Axe Art, can be regarded as a demonic art due to its overly destructive and murderous nature. However, it is an Upper-Ascension-Realm martial art, and its techniques and principles are superior to any of the Baek Sword Sects martial arts. Putting a slight restraint on its overly destructive and murderous techniques will be enough for it to pass as a righteous sects martial arts. Thats why I have decided to convert it from an axe art to a sword art.

How does that help?

Due to the characteristics of axes, axe arts are usually composed of destructive and cruel techniques. Sword arts are not as vile in comparison, so changing the Bloodthirsty Black Wind Axe Arts techniques to sword techniques should be enough to make them more merciful. However, the problem is that it is naturally very difficult to change an axe art to a sword art.

But you managed to do it, didnt you, Young Patriarch?

Thats right. I plan to teach you the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art, which is the modified version of the Bloodthirsty Black Wind Axe Art. Would you like to see it?

Please teach me.

Shouldnt you at least check out what kind of martial art it is before deciding to study it? Anyway, what I will be showing you is pure imitation, so take that into account as you observe.

Understood.

With a sword in hand, Mu-Gun stood at the center of the training hall. After a brief moment, he began to demonstrate the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art. Although it was derived from an axe art, the Demon-Purging Back Wind Sword Art still had the terrifying momentum of the Bloodthirsty Black Wind Axe Art.

Mu-Gun could not properly display the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art's true power since he had not properly studied it, but Yong-Hwan could still see the unbelievable power it could unleash. Yong-Hwans heart pounded as he watched the demonstration. Considering Mu-Guns imitation of the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art was already so strong, Yong-Hwan could not even begin to fathom how much more powerful it would become once it had been mastered.

Falling completely in love with the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art, there was not a doubt in Yong-Hwans mind that he had to learn it. In all honesty, he was initially disappointed to hear that Mu-Gun wanted to teach him another clans martial art instead of the Baek Sword Sects Celestial Moonlight Sword Art, especially since Mu-Gun wanted him to practice the Lulin Battle Kings martial art. However, witnessing the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art in action completely changed his mind. Be that as it may, he completely changed his mind after seeing it in action.

The Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art, which was purely based on power, suited him far better than the Celestial Moonlight Sword Art, which was based on variability and change. That was why Mu-Gun wanted to teach the former to him in the first place.

Mu-Gun sheathed his sword, ending his demonstration.

What do you think?

Its the best. I will do whatever it takes to master it.

Thats a relief. I was worried that you would refuse because it was Lulins martial art.

So what if it was? Wouldnt it become a righteous martial art if I use it righteously?

Mu-Gun chuckled at Yong-Hwans passionate response. He could sense just how much Yong-Hwan wanted to learn it.

Great. I will teach you the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art, then.

Thank you.

If you are, then do your best to master it. Dont make me regret teaching it to you, Mu-Gun encouraged Yong-Hwan.

Understood.

Lets begin, shall we? Mu-Gun said, wanting to teach Yong-Hwan as soon as possible.

Right now?

Why? Is there a problem?

No, there isnt. I was just too elated, Yong-Hwan responded. He was clearly excited.

I will teach you the Bloodthirsty Black Wind Cultivation Technique first. It is the exclusive internal energy cultivation method of the Demon-Purging Black Wind Sword Art.

Mu-Gun and Yong-Hwans training session began.
