Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 57

< Episode 56 >

Unlike the subdued atmosphere, Yeon Myeong’s expression was calm.

“It’s the Medicine King Hall.”

Even the mumbling voice is constant without any pitch. That’s why I wasn’t shaken. I had guessed that there was something strange about my father’s death anyway. It was just unexpected. I can’t believe I got a clue like this.

This is a father whose face I don’t even know. It would be natural for Geomshin, who has already lived for over a hundred years, to feel like a stranger. But did it come from the memories of the boy who accepted it? He was not without a desire for revenge. It just wasn’t enough to shake the sword spirit’s steadfastness.

On the contrary, it was Tang Yu-ri and Tang Mi-ryeo who showed surprise.

“The Yakwangdang was involved in the untimely death of Dokbong’s husband? Am I right?”

“Isn’t this crazy? How dare you harm Sogaju’s family… But why isn’t this known?”

“Before. Keep talking.”

At Yeon Myeong’s hand gesture, Tang Yi Zhen slowly opened his mouth.

“Yakwangdang is a closed place even within the main family. Even the influence of the Presbyterian Church cannot be greatly influenced.”

“It’s natural. Now that Sichuan has become the Sado World, the main family’s activity radius is almost limited to this Chengdu area. In order to maintain the family, a considerable amount of wealth is needed, and 90% of that is earned from the Yakwangdang.”

Tang Yu-ri helped. There is no doubt that she said this because her father worked at the General Administration Department.

Save.

Although it has declined, it is a family that was once called a Sega. The size of the Tang family was still so large that it could hardly be considered a single family. It should be seen as one force. It was said that Yakwangdang was responsible for most of the money spent on such things.

Tang Yijeon nodded.

“It’s just as Yuri said. In addition to researching poisons and medicine, the Medicine King Hall also treats the common people and prescribes medicine in exchange for compensation. There are quite a few hermits who earn a lot of money here. Not only does the Medicine King Hall handle the medicines they prescribe, but they also receive compensation for it. Since they also take care of the processing of necessary medicinal materials, it can be said that all medicinal material transactions in Sacheon are carried out at the main Yakwangdang.”

“I don’t know, but there is a saying that it is thanks to the Medicine King Party that the Black Silent Army leaves us alone. Because the common people rely on us. It is the same as giving us nine days on a regular basis.”

“That makes sense. They are the ones who suck the blood of the common people.”

“Anyway, in this situation, the Presbyterian Church could not interfere with the Medicine King Party. It was almost recognized as an independent organization. The power of the Medicine King Party was bound to be great.”

Yan Yanming quietly nodded at Tang Yijeon and Tang Yuli’s explanation. I felt like I knew something about a place called Yakwangdang. The most important thing in martial arts was, of course, military force, but what maintained that military force was financial power. Since the Yakwangdang was the family’s biggest financial source, its position was bound to be significant.

Yeon Myeong said.

“So. How was your father poisoned? Before you know it, how do you know that?”

“Your father… So, Manager Chun had a bachelor’s degree? According to what my grandfather said, he was very eloquent.”

“…Do you know my father? Your grandfather, the former head of the Medicine King.”

“Yes. Do you know that the family’s public opinion of Dokbong was not good after the bloodbath with Ma Gwang-cheon?”

“okay.”

It remained in the boy’s memory before he awakened to his previous life as a Sword God. At that time, so much blood was shed that people who lost their loved ones, including their relatives, blamed their mother.

“It is said that every time Chief Chun heard criticism of his wife Dokbong, he would rush over and get into an argument with the other person. It must not have been a normal deployment since he did it without even learning martial arts.”

“I guess he got stabbed with his hand a few times. Every time he did that, he visited the Yakwangdang. It is said that he became acquainted with my grandfather at that time.”

Yeon Jang-myeong’s eyebrows twitched at Dang Yi-jeon’s words. Although Dang Yi-jeon simply described it as a ‘hand-jjigeom’, it is common knowledge that ordinary people who have not learned martial arts will be seriously injured if they are attacked with even a little strength. Since there is no way to resolve your career, you are suffering as is.

Perhaps the reason his father, Tang Wei-ryong, visited the Yakwangdang was because the details were that serious. He didn’t want to worry his mother.

‘…I don’t feel very good.’

Yeon Myeong felt his heart shake differently than before. My heart is soaring. The reason was unknown. It’s not because of the boy’s memories.

Dang Ijeon continued speaking.

“Then something happened. In the Yakwangdang, in addition to the head of the clan, there are two other heads, and one of them got into a fight with Manager Chun. The fault clearly lay with the head of the house. He uttered unspeakable insults toward Dokbong, your mother. Since he was caught, the argument quickly escalated, and Chief Chun is said to have humiliated the Deputy Chief because he is a good speaker and has a good reason.”

The bitch who ruined the family. This is something that his mother, Dokbong Dang Ji-hye, used to hear often. Perhaps the person named Vice President also uttered similar curses. Naturally, her eyes shone brightly.

“Isn’t that person called Vice Lord now the Lord of the Medicine King?”

“…You’re quick-witted. That’s right. The other deputy chief was my father, and the deputy chief who had a conflict with Chunbujang was a disciple of my grandfather, who was the master of the Yakwangdang. His name is Dayil. Anyway, the deputy chief of staff, Dayil, who was greatly disgraced, couldn’t hold back his anger. “I tried to use martial arts, but it almost caused an accident, but my grandfather, who sensed the commotion, stepped in and stopped it.”

“You were holding a grudge back then.”

“That’s right. My grandfather pointed out my father as the next head of the Medicine King right after that incident.”

“What happened to your father, Chief Chun?”

Yeon Myeong suddenly asked.

The previous head of the Yakwang clan nominated his father from before the party as the next head, but the current head of the Yakwang clan said it was the same day. It didn’t seem like he was doing well.

just as expected. Tang Yizhen slightly shook his head and said.

“He was a noble person. That day, right after he overthrew the Medicine King Party with his followers and became the head of the clan. I don’t know how he passed away.

They probably used poison. These stories are all a combination of what I heard little by little from my grandfather. Oh, and it was you who told me that Manager Chun was poisoned. When the body was being autopsied, he came back to his senses briefly and recognized it at a glance. “Mixing medicine with medicine to produce an effect no different from extreme poison was the skill of the day.”

Come to think of it, the party transfer was also like that. There were frequent cases of mixing harmless herbs in communal mountains to create poison.

Anyway, he said that he didn’t really hide the truth from his teacher that day, perhaps because he had the intention of making fun of him. After all, the Yakwangdang had fallen into his hands, and no matter what his grandfather said before the Tang Dynasty when he came to his senses, it would have been dismissed as the nonsense of a senile old man.

Since Tang Weilong was poisoned on the same day as the head of the Medicine King Party, there can be no problem with the autopsy conducted by the Medicine King Party. It is said that Dokbongdang Ji-hye, who heard of her husband’s death, took advantage of the moment she fainted to quickly complete her funeral and cremate her, completely destroying any evidence of her.

After being silent for a moment, Yeon Myeong asked.

“…What about your grandfather?”

“He’s not in his right mind. It’s because of the poison that Dayl used, but he only comes back to his senses once in a while. It wasn’t until I was ten years old that he started telling me these things. Without even knowing it, I became his disciple.”

Dang Ijeon’s voice, which had been speaking calmly throughout, trembled. Recognized for his qualities, he became a disciple of the head of the Medicine King clan, but it turned out that he was the one who made his grandfather a half-ruin and killed his biological father. His mother passed away shortly after giving birth to him, so there was no way for the party to know the truth. The people at the Medicine King Party who knew the inside story were all on Dong-il’s side.

The party continued to speak.

“There’s only one reason he didn’t kill my grandfather. It was because he wanted to know how to remove the miasma without damaging the supernormal abilities contained in the elixir.”

“Elixir?”

Yeon Myeong felt a little puzzled. In a way, from the perspective of the head of the Medicine King Party on the day, the former head of the Medicine King Party and his grandson, Tang I-Jeon, were no different from the evil that had to be eradicated someday. But the only reason I kept him alive like this was to learn how to process the elixir…?

“There are literally all kinds of medicinal herbs in the main house’s Medicine King Hall. People buy what herbalists dig up, and they also receive herbal medicine in return for treatment or prescriptions. It has a long history.”

“so?”

“Actually, even the Presbyterian Church doesn’t know about it…”

After a moment’s pause, Dang Yi-jeon spoke.

“In the medicine warehouse of the Medicine King Hall, there is an inner altar of 萬年火M.”

“what…?”

“Is that true?”

Tang Yu-ri and Tang Mi-ryeo were surprised to hear Mannyeonhwari’s words, “Naedan” and asked back. Of course, Mannyeonhwari was a legendary creature said to live in lava. In particular, if you take Naedan properly, your Imdogyang vein will be relieved at once and you will reach Hwagyeong.

Although most people dismissed it as nonsense, the highest-ranking figures in the martial arts world knew that Mannyeonhwari was real and that the effects of taking Naedan properly were also enormous. Although it was more than a hundred years ago, the lord of the Yeolhwa Sun Palace (熱火大陽宮) took the Neidan of Ten Thousand Years of Fire and gained tremendous heat solar intelligence.

It was clearly an exaggeration to say that he would ascend to the realm of fire all at once, but in any case, the master of the Yeolhwa Sun Palace eventually ascended to the realm of fire based on his tremendous intellect, and that was the heyday of the Yeolhwa Sun Palace. Although it expanded its power too much and was subjugated by the Heavenly Demon Church…

In any case, if it were true that there was an inner altar of eternal fire, it would not be surprising if a bloody wind blew in Sacheon right now. Because it was a precious item that every martial artist would covet. It has a value that cannot be calculated in terms of gold or gold.

Dang Ijeon said.

“It’s a little less so with spirit herbs, but in the case of things like the inner tablets of spirit objects, it inevitably contains poison. If you take it without dissolving it properly, nine out of ten, no, ninety nine out of one hundred, people are bound to die suddenly. You can either become an idiot.”

In fact, Dang I-jeon continued his explanation by adding, “It’s a miracle that you can take something like that and survive.”

“Of course, there are many ways to remove the miasma of an elixir, such as the inner dan of spirit creatures. However, such methods usually damage the supernormal abilities or medicinal effects of the elixir along with the miasma. As it becomes safer, the effect becomes weaker.”

“Then what is the Master of the Medicine King aiming for…?”

“He wants to take the inner dan of the Ten Thousand Years of Fire without any damage. He wants to ascend to the realm of Hwa-gyeong. And perhaps once he ascends to the realm of Hwa-gyeong, he will lead the Medicine King Party and try to escape from the family. In order to become the sect of the clan himself.”

Tang Yu-li and Tang Mi-ryeo were astonished. Who would have thought that Day, the leader of the Medicine King, would be planning something like that. Isn’t it no different from a birthmark…?

Yeon Myeong was still calm.

“Did you participate in the competition?”

“If I continue to be in the Medicine King Hall, I don’t know when I will be attacked. Once I participate in the competition, I can ask for personal protection. The reason I was able to survive is solely because my grandfather did not tell anyone how to remove the poison of the elixir. “If my grandfather had passed away, I would have been eliminated too.”
