Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 171

"Huh? Why are you going to the Demonic Cult?"

"There's a reason."

"That place is a den of demons. A young Taoist like you is just a mouthful. It's no use even if your martial arts are high. All sorts of strange schemes are rampant..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I know as much as I need to know."

You young brat...

Wu Ha's way of speaking was as bad as Baekji's. As a direct disciple of the 'Three Immortals of Kunlun', there were not many who could surpass him in terms of hierarchy, so it was understandable.

"Did you get your grandfather's permission?"

"Didn't I tell you? I am now a body that follows the 'Tao'. If it is the path towards the 'Tao', I will go even if it is hell."

"Hmm. You're a great Taoist, at least with your mouth."

Oh Jeong-ri and the others' faces brightened.

In any case, the order they had received was to bring back the grandson of Yuecheng, So Jin-ha.

"Don't worry. I will guard you."

When Oh Jeong-ri said that, Baekji chided him.

"Who is guarding whom? You've just entered the 'flower realm', what are you going to guard? The time when you've just broken through a realm is the most dangerous. Just think about diligently consolidating it."

To treat the 'flower realm' like a third-rate gangster from the neighborhood.

But Oh Jeong-ri nodded his head without hesitation. If it was Baekji's words... he would just nod his head first.

"I understand. But since I have received an order, I will definitely protect Taoist Wu Ha. Not only the group from the Hyuk-ryeon family, but also assassins from other families must have come in no small number... so wouldn't it be better to have more people guarding?"

"Yes. The road is going to be quite troublesome."

Although Baekji was not happy about Wu Ha accompanying them, he had no choice.

As they were leaving Yuecheng, Baekji looked back. From the fortress tower, Fortress Lord Yue was looking this way.

His figure, standing alone, looked pitiful. Baekji said to Wu Ha, "Your grandfather came to see you off. Wave your hand."

"It's just a connection from the secular world."

Wu Ha did not even look back and spurred his horse.

Thwack!

Baekji hit the back of Wu Ha's head.

"You young brat... you should listen when your older brother speaks. Stop being a nuisance and wave your hand. How would that old man feel, sending off his young grandson?"

Wu Ha's heart sank as he could not avoid Baekji's hand. He had clearly felt the gap.

"Do you want to be hit again?"

Wu Ha quickly looked back and then waved his hand towards Fortress Lord Yue.

Fortress Lord Yue, who saw that, had tears well up in his eyes.

'That brat... he's still thinking of this old grandfather.'

He was a grandson who had felt so calm that he had even seemed cold... but to leave his grandfather's arms... his heart must have softened... he's still a child... to go to that harsh den of demons...

.

.

.

On the way to the den of demons.

The demonic person stuck close to Baekji's side and asked in a subtle voice, "That miraculous medicine... does it really make people surpass a realm?"

After seeing the 'Blood Exhausting Pill' that Oh Jeong-ri had eaten, the black pill would not leave his mind.

"Yes. It's a direct shot from the 'true realm' to the 'flower realm'. From the 'flower realm' to the profound realm... it will probably be difficult. That can't be done with a miraculous medicine."

Baekji kindly explained.

"By any chance, do you have one more?"

"Yes. I made eleven and a half..."

"Eleven! Then you must have a few left?"

"Let's see... what I've given so far..."

He had given one each to Nangong Zhao and Tang Yunseol, and he had given them to the Seven Plums and Shang Yiqing.

Then he had given the last remaining one to Oh Jeong-ri... so now there were none.

"I've used all eleven."

"Heo-geok. Then are you saying that eleven masters of the 'flower realm' have come out?"

"No. Now that I think about it, I'm curious what happened."

Baekji had only given the 'Blood Exhausting Pill', but he had not thought about how much each person would achieve.

Hearing the demonic person's words, he calculated one by one.

"The Seven Plums would have gone from first-rate to the peak or the superlative realm, and since that brat Shang Yiqing was at the beginning of the superlative realm... he might have entered the 'true realm'. That's right! Nangong Zhao might have entered the 'flower realm'. Tang Yunseol would have naturally entered the 'true realm'."

The demonic person, who heard Baekji's words, opened his mouth wide.

"No, you gave a miraculous medicine that can go from the 'true realm' to the 'flower realm' to a mere first-rate?"

The demonic person was about to go crazy because it was such a waste.

From the 'true realm' to the 'flower realm'!

A medicine that makes you surpass a process that takes a lifetime in one breath... you used it to go from a mere first-rate to the peak, the superlative realm?

A realm that can be reached in ten, twenty years if you just train hard?

"That's not right. Although they are at the peak now, since their entire body's fine meridians have been opened, their achievements will go up, 'ssuk-ssuk', in the future. Their constitution has completely changed... for example, they will be at the level of the 'Heavenly Vein'. Do you know about the 'Heavenly Vein'? You don't?"

"Ugh..."

"Now that I think about it, I've made several people into 'Heavenly Veins'..."

From Yang Soryeong and Ah-jok, Senior Oh and Zhang San, to Nangong Zhao and Tang Yunseol, Shang Yiqing and the Seven Plums...

The demonic person, holding his breath, which was becoming ragged, said as politely as possible, "Can I also get one?"

"I told you there are none left."

"If you make more..."

"Hey, do you know how hard it is to make this? It costs the price of a mansion to make one pill. No, you can't make it even if you have money. You need a whopping a hundred medicinal herbs. And they are all precious."

Baekji, while speaking, picked his ear.

"Is someone talking bad about me?"

.

.

.

At that time.

The 'Divine Doctor of Life and Death' screamed with a red face.

"U-a-ak! This, what on earth is this! To think that all the medicinal herbs are gone!"

He had opened the medicinal herb warehouse, which he had kept tightly locked, to show off the medicinal herbs he had collected to Changseon Jin-in and Oh Cheong-su... but all the precious medicinal herbs were gone, and only the shabby ones were left.

Next to him, Baekmae had a tearful face.

"I'm sure... they were all there until you made the Alliance Leader's medicine. It's really a case for a ghost to cry..."

Next to him, Changseon Jin-in, chuckled and handed him a pine needle dumpling.

"Hehehe... I know how you feel... it's as if the sky has fallen, right? If you eat this pine needle dumpling, your anger will subside a little. You know that the energy of the pine tree has the effect of calming the mind, right?"

"U-eu-eu..."

The 'Divine Doctor of Life and Death', tearing his hair, let out a groan as if he were wailing. Oh Cheong-su comforted him.

"Although your grief is great, you have to pull yourself together... you'll hurt yourself if you go on like this. If you tell Chief Steward Ah-jok, he will surely be able to catch the culprit."

The 'Divine Doctor of Life and Death', who came to his senses at Oh Cheong-su's words.

He remembered Baekji, who had asked him to teach him the method of making the miraculous medicine.

"That brat! U-deu-deuk!"

As expected, he was a lifelong enemy.

Changseon Jin-in, placed his hand on the 'Divine Doctor's' shoulder and whispered in his ear, "What can you do about what's already gone... won't you go up the back mountain with me? There are quite a few medicinal herbs there..."

.

.

.

The demonic person, who was greatly disappointed at the words that there was no medicine and that it could not be made again, suddenly had a thought and clung to him again.

"A half! Didn't you say there was a half left?"

"Yes. There is a half left. But why are you asking for it? We're not in a relationship where we give and receive such things, right?"

It was the demonic person, who had been stuck at the end of the 'true realm' for several years and had not been able to cross over to the 'flower realm'. There were not one or two masters who would end their lives like that.

The demonic person was thinking of breaking through the wall with the 'Soul Splitting Heart Art', but since there was an easier way, he had no choice but to be desperate.

"Thirty years! I became a guest for thirty years in exchange for receiving the 'Soul Splitting Heart Art'. Now there is one year left... ten years! I will serve for ten more years."

"Why? There's no need to do that. What do I have to do with the So family?"

"Aren't you a descendant of the So family?"

"That's true, but... that doesn't mean I have to take the demonic person as a guest for the sake of the So family, right?"

"Th-then... I will serve you."

"That's enough. I have many subordinates."

There were plenty of masters, including Tie Yantai. Taking one more demonic person would not make a big difference.

The demonic person's anger flared up.

"Then what about that brat? Why did you give it to Oh Jeong-ri? He was also a stranger."

"Because he's the protagonist of a moving love story. Those who know how to protect love deserve to be rewarded."

Why is he talking about love here?

Although the demonic person was about to explode, he held it in and said, "I, I also... had a woman I loved in my youth."

"And?"

"I loved her..."

"So?"

"Ugh..."

The demonic person let out a strange sound.

"That's a lie, right? I can tell just by looking. What love... it's a relief if you didn't rape her with your sinister appearance."

"No. I'm not that kind of person."

"We'll see about that."

Oh Jeong-ri, Seomun Jeong-ha, the 'Silent Saber', and Wu Ha pretended not to know and just looked ahead and spurred their horses, but they were secretly listening to the two's conversation.

The childish conversation was both dumbfounding and funny, and the demonic person also seemed pitiful.

The demonic person revealed the bottom of his childishness. He clung to the end of his words. His tone of voice had changed.

"Love? Hmph! Don't lie. If so, shouldn't you have given it to Seomun Jeong-ha as well?"

"Huh? That auntie doesn't need it."

"Why?"

The demonic person asked as if he were struggling.

"Why do you think the Seomun family is a renowned family? That auntie's entire body's fine meridians are already opened. Her martial arts were probably higher than Great Hero Oh's."

Oh Jeong-ri flinched. That was true. Although he had trained to death, Seomun Jeong-ha, who seemed to be training half-heartedly, was always ahead of him.

"Even if you just leave her alone, she will surpass the demonic person in no time. So she doesn't need a miraculous medicine."

The demonic person ground his teeth.

"Ugh... are you saying that a golden spoon from birth is a golden spoon to the end?"

"Uh... what can you do, that's just the way the principles of nature are."

Baekji thought that the talents of the renowned families in the martial world and the masters who had made a name for themselves at a young age in the martial world were most likely of the 'Heavenly Vein'.

The 'Heavenly Vein' is a constitution where the fine meridians are opened or are easy to open. If they learn internal energy, they can easily form an inner core and can achieve faster accomplishments than others.

Although the demonic person was also brilliant, his constitution was ordinary. How hard he must have trained to look at the 'flower realm'... that was something to be highly praised.

It was also proof that his obsession with martial arts was that strong.

The demonic person wailed.

"That's ridiculous! Some people spend their entire lives opening their fine meridians... and you're saying they're already opened? That's too unfair!"

"Tsk, tsk... if that's unfair, what should Oh-ryong say?"

"Oh-ryong? Who is Oh-ryong?"

Baekji hit the neck of the Oh-ryong he was riding and said, "Why was Oh-ryong born as a horse and has to carry people for his entire life? If you argue from Oh-ryong's point of view, it's too unfair. But he lives without saying a word. It's all like that."

"Hee-hee-hing!"

Oh-ryong snorted as if to answer.

The demonic person was dumbfounded. To compare him to a horse. This was deliberately teasing him.

It made him even angrier because he was saying it with a serious face.

"The demonic person was at least born as a human... so that's a relief. Besides, he worked hard and became a master. Isn't that enough?"

"Ugh..."

"The important thing is not whether you're a golden spoon or a dirt spoon. In a sense, the demonic person is a truly great person. He lived diligently, right? To live a thin and long life like the demonic person... and to become a master also has its own meaning."

Was it a compliment or an insult... it felt as if steam would come out of his nose.

To say that he, who had spread his notoriety outside the pass... had lived a thin and long life.

The demonic person bit his molars and said as if he were spitting, "A thin and long life... are you mocking me right now?"

"Mocking... I'm just telling the truth. Don't you know the reason why the demonic person has been alive until now? Because you only fought with weak brats. If you had fought with a real master... you would have already become a bone rolling in that desert."

"I-ik!"

The demonic person could not endure it any longer and kicked the back of his horse and rushed at him.

Shwi-i-ik!

Although it was an ordinary technique of grabbing Baekji's neck with his left hand and striking his face with his right hand, when the demonic person performed it, the momentum was fierce.

But.

Baekji leaned his body back, stretched out his foot, and kicked the demonic person's stomach.

Thwack!

The demonic person felt as if his internal organs were being turned upside down and his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Baekji pushed the demonic person, who was falling from the empty air, with his foot. The demonic person collapsed on the back of his own horse and went limp.

"Let's go quietly."

In the meantime, the party had reached the highlands.

Oh Jeong-ri took out a firecracker from his bosom.

"What are you doing?"

"The 'Blood Wind Squad' is waiting."
