A bomb hit the Finance Hall.
“What are you talking about? I can’t believe we have to build a merchant in Sichuan!”
“What? The sword made by the Sichuan Tang Family is coming now? Wha- What are we supposed to do about that? Should we put it in the warehouse for now?”
“What do you mean by rice in Yunnan? Who’s in charge of that?”
It would be enough to demolish any sect one by one. The Finance Hall had been in a state of chaos since several such bombs were dropped, as if it had been a war.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys are so…”
Hyun Young smiled as he observed the scene.
“What’s all this fuss about?”
“Gakju nim, isn’t this great? This has never happened since the sect was revived” (Hyun Young title, prob something like Finance Elder.)
“Yeah, there wasn’t.”
Hyun Young’s mouth corners rolled up more and more. It was almost to his ears.
“Wasn’t our Chung Myung not in Mount Hua back then?”
“…….”
‘Is that our Chung Myung?’
‘I’ve never heard a footnote speak in that tone before….’
“There’s nothing to be surprised about. Indeed, no surprise. There will be more surprises in the future, so why are you making such a fuss already!”
Un Bang (운방(雲防)) couldn’t say anything. He can’t help but close his eyes when he sees Hyun Young’s happy face. As a disciple, breaking that happiness is not the right thing to do.
Creak!
The door to the Finance Hall opened at that moment, and a disciple entered with a large basket.
“Gakju nim! I’ve got them!”
“Oh!”
Hyun Young jumped up and ran, grabbing the basket.
The large flapping eel, ginseng, and tied chicken head were visible when the cloth covering the basket was lifted.
“……what is that, Gakju nim?”
“They must have been exhausted from going all the way to Yunnan, so why don’t we feed them Yongbongtang?”
“There is no eel in Yongbongtang.”
“What? Then why is it Yongbongtang?”
“…….”
“…….”
Un Bang coughed quietly, covering his mouth with his hand. This isn’t important right now.
“Oh, no, no, Even if Mount Hua is not forbidden to eat meat, it’s still alive…..”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s a worthwhile death. They’ll be happy, too.”
‘Shouldn’t we listen to the eel?’
‘Are you sure that’s okay?’
Hyun Young, who easily dismissed Un Bang’s concerns, murmured an apology.
“Unfortunately. Didn’t the child come back with an anxious face? Mount Hua grows up when Chung Myung feeds and raises well.”
“I heard they were full.”
“Ugh!”
“I wouldn’t do that to my grandchildren.”
“How dare you compare your grandson to Chung Myung!”
‘You don’t even have a response.’
“Anyway, you take care of these. I’m gonna go get these guys.”
“Ju- Just us?”
“Of course!”
Hyun Young turned around without hesitation and joyfully walked into the kitchen.
Un Bang, who was perplexed by his back, let out a small sigh and smiled quietly.
‘Isn’t that great?’
He only remembers sighing when he thinks of Hyun Young in the past.
After rummaging through the account all day, it was Hyun Young’s daily routine to sigh and sigh again. His eyes were sunken and he had a deep wrinkle between his brows.
He was overwhelmed by the pressure to feed Mount Hua, which could collapse at any time.
That was Hyun Young, as Un Bang recalls.
Not to mention the work, seeing the person happy and excited about something makes him feel better.
‘You’ve grown a lot.’
It appears to have evolved into a different sect in just two years. When was the last time Hyun Young laughed so hard?
“Tsk. That’s why.”
He is aware that Hyun Young prefers Chung Myung. Even more than him, who has been serving Hyun Young since he arrived on Mount Hua.
But he doesn’t dislike Chung Myung because Un Bang knows he’s always doing something for everyone in Mount Hua.
“Bugakju nim, what do we do?” (If Gakju is Finance Elder, then Bugakju is the vice leader in charge. Bu, I think that means vice leader. Like Buchaeju nim.)
“Are we really on our own?”
Un Bang narrowed his brow as he observed the disciples’ perplexing questions.
“Don’t make a big deal out of it.”
“But…….”
“How can we make a big deal of it? Knowing what the Medicine Hall is like now.”
“Oh…….”
The disciples nodded as if convinced when they heard the words Medicine Hall. They then looked pitifully at the Medicine Hall.
“Purple Ginseng (인형자삼(人形紫蔘) / Doll Purple Ginseng), three geun amount!” (Geun are measurements, according to kakao one geun is 600 grams but it does not make sense so I will leave it as it is.)
“Three geun amount!”
With a gentle touch, the ginseng was cut off. It was a cautious touch, as if there was no room for error.
“Three geun amount!”
“Get it!”
“Yes!”
The Medicine Hall member took the cut pieces with care and carried them away.
“Here it is.”
Yakdang ju Un Gak took the Purple Ginseng after swallowing dry saliva. And placed it carefully on the scale.
Un Gak turned his eyes upside down as soon as the scale passed three geun.
“I’m telling you to cut three geun! This guy cut four pieces! Are your eyes a knothole!”
“N- No, that’s not it.”
“What the hell do you think this is about? Because of you, Chaos Origin Pill……. No! Will you take responsibility for that if the pill is made wrong? You’re so frustrating!”
Due to the outpouring of rage, the Medicine Hall employee quickly bowed down with a pale face.
“I have sinned to death!”
“Are you saying that a martial artist couldn’t measure even one thing properly?”
O- On my scale, it was definitely three geun!
“What?”
Un Gak scowled.
The voice from behind, however, releases the force in his eyes.
“It looks like all the scales are too old to fit together.”
“Hm?”
Un Gak shook his head.
Tang Soso, dressed in the Mount Hua robe, was inspecting the scales.
“I believe the issue is that the scales do not fit together, Yakdang ju.” I believe we should use only one scale or replace all of them.”
“Um. Is that so? ”
“Yes, the most important thing is the ratio, and if there’s an error with different scales, the ratio changes.”
“Ummm. But using only one scale would take too much time.”
The head of Medicine Hall shifted his gaze.
“Right now, go buy a new scale in Huayin City!” Now! Finance Hall will pay the money.”
“Yes! “Only one scale…”
“What one! Change them all! Don’t leave anything behind, all! Instead, you must select the same scale! ”
“Yes!”
The Medicine Hall employee bolted outside, terrified of the Un Gak spirit, who appeared to be capable of chewing all the scales with his mouth.
Un Gak, the head of Medicine Hall, yelled, his eyes wide.
“Listen carefully, everyone.”
“Yes!”
The Medicine Hall employee responded quickly and nervously.
Their brows were drenched in sweat.
“Mount Hua’s fate is at stake in this! If anyone neglects a little, I will throw him in confinement and face wall for three years! Do you comprehend? ”
“Yakdang ju, yes!”
Un Gak wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeves.
‘It’s not easy,’
Of course, the process of creating Chaos Origin Pill was not difficult; the recipe explained it in detail, and it did not require a special method, so they simply had to match the amount and proportion correctly and follow the recipe.
The issue was the pressure.
The pill is so delicate that the medicine’s effectiveness drops dramatically even if the ratio changes by one grain of rice.
‘It’s the Jamokcha that they traveled all the way to Yunnan to get; not a single failure will be tolerated!’
Un Gak exhaled deeply.
‘However, I’m glad I have that kid.’
In fact, there is no method of manufacturing pills left on Mount Hua, which means that they haven’t been manufactured in nearly a century.
Even though he learned the theory of how to make a pill while running Medicine Hall, this is the first time he has attempted to make a pill with his own hands.
If Tang Soso hadn’t arrived on time, he’d be going through a slew of trials and tribulations right now.
‘However, we cannot reveal the entire recipe.’
Tang Soso’s advice was extremely useful until the basic preparation process.
In any case, there is so much pressure just to make the blend…… There is another issue here.
“Hmm. Are you present? ”
“…….”
The Refinement Room door opened, and Hyun Jong and Hyun Sang entered.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
The Medicine Hall employees all bowed, and Hyun Jong nodded with a pleasant smile.
“Yes, everyone must be busy, but I wonder if I should have come for nothing.”
Un Gak gave Hyun Jong a dim look.
‘Sect Leader,’
This is the sixth time today.
‘If he’s going to do that, why doesn’t he just sit down?’
“Keheum. You’re going through a lot right now. It’s nothing more than…….”
Hyun Jong, who appeared to be looking around, slightly lowered his eyes.
“I don’t think everyone cares because everyone is too busy….. Isn’t there a lot of dust on the floor? ”
“…Yes?”
“I wondered if foreign substances would be used in the production of the pill.” The bugs that were passing by could get in if you left the windows open.”
“Oh….Yes.”
“Hmm. And, um……. If you lay out the ingredients there, the weight will change due to moisture loss. I’m concerned that it will reduce the effectiveness of the medication…….”
Un Gak shut his mouth.
Today is the sixth time.
He nagged them when he came to encourage them, so they cleaned up even when they were working and cleaned up again.
“Sect Leader…….”
“Hmm? What’s the problem? ”
“I’ll… I’ll take excellent care of it.”
“Hmm! I’m not attempting to challenge Yakdang ju authority. It’s just that I’m old and have a lot of concerns.”
Un Gak eventually closed his eyes as he watched Hyun Jong speak awkwardly.
It’s preferable to curse and beat.
He was so perplexed that he showed his head about ten times a day, almost driving him insane.
“Well, then, Chao……. No, how long do you think it’ll take to completely produce the pill? ” (They are actually calling it Jasodan. Idk, maybe because there is Tang Soso)
“Ten days.”
“Is that correct?”
Hyun Jong shivered.
With his expression.
‘No, my throat is falling out even now, but I have to wait ten more days?’
Un Gak couldn’t help but sigh when he appeared to be about to say something.
“Sect Leader. The majority of the pills are refined for 49 days before drying and maturing for 49 days. However, unlike other pills, it takes less time to produce because the manufacturing process is simple.”
“R- Really?”
Hyun Jong’s expression brightened slightly.
“I need a master of qigong in the process of making the pill, so then, there will be a case where the master of qigong will personally check it. So, for the time being…… Please! ”
“Oh, I see. No, I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to assist…….”
“If that happens, I’ll request that you do it yourself!”
“I- I see.”
Hyun Jong turned away, coughed loudly, and looked around with an awkward expression.
“Well then, work hard everyone.”
“Go ahead, Sect Leader!”
Hyun Jong exited with a sad expression, and when the door closed, a member of the Medicine Hall opened his mouth with an awkward expression.
“He must have high expectations.”
“Yes, I suppose so…..”
When you think about it, how big is this? It’s not surprising that Hyun Jong is like that.
But understanding is understanding, and obstruction is obstruction; nothing should bother them when they have to do a great job.
“Be on your toes again. This job should never fail! ”
“Yakdangju nim, yes!”
“For the sake of the future of Mount Hua, we can’t afford to fail…….”
At the end of the sentence, Un Gak was a little hazy.
“Think about it. Chung Myung went all the way to Yunnan to make this pill.”
“Yes!”
“……But if we fail this, he has to go back to Yunnan.”
“…….”
The surrounding atmosphere rapidly cooled.
“Do you believe he’ll go quietly?” What about Chung Myung? ”
“……no.”
Chung Myung was depicted naturally, running wild with his eyes overturned in the heads of Medicine Hall members.
Their body trembled all of a sudden.
‘We have to succeed!’
‘Even if we die, we must succeed!’
With their eyes wide open, everyone examined the ingredients of Chaos Origin Pill.
Un Gak’s eyes also lowered.
‘I’m putting everything on it!’
The Medicine Hall began to feel hot.
