Chapter 488

Chapter 488 – The Lazy Healer (3)

Letting go of your hands when life hangs by a thread?

Anyone could see that it was foolish. And something for which you would deserve insults. But this was also inevitable.

The Inner Core, also known as Inner Dan.

The Inner Dan that firmly occupied Wei Yanho’s stomach was not something he could control.

It was none other than Baek Muhan’s Inner Dan.

If even a hair or a nail of Baek Muhan exuded such majesty that they shone on their own, imagine his Inner Dan. The Inner Dan formed by the accumulation of his internal energy and will was something a simple Wei Yanho could not aspire to touch.

Now only the energy remained, without the will, but was that energy normal?

Thanks to the Inner Dan, Wei Yanho had accumulated an internal energy that would not envy anyone in the martial world, but the energy contained in the Dan was so powerful that it reduced Wei Yanho’s energy to a mere raindrop in the Yangtze River.

To be honest, this Inner Dan was scarier than the Demon Cult. At least against the Demon Cult you could wield a sword and fight… but when this Inner Dan went into a rage, Wei Yanho could only pray for a quick death.

And on top of that, it was inside his body.

There was no solution.

Well, first you’d have to be a rival to try to suppress or control something.

How could a praying mantis stop a moving carriage?

In the end, Wei Yanho had no choice but to let go of his hands and watch what the Inner Dan decided to do.

‘Play with it. Play as much as you want, but leave it in its place in the end.’

What could his master be thinking by leaving this Inner Dan inside his belly?

Surely his master hoped that one day Wei Yanho would absorb the Dan’s energy to become stronger.

But no matter how much a snake grows, it cannot swallow an ox.

Absorb?

Hopefully you won’t be devoured!

Then the ox in his belly began to stir.

Uuuuuuun!

The vibrant sound sounded like a roar.

The Inner Dan, sensing that an intruder had entered its peaceful nest, emanated its fury.

Immediately, the demonic energy and toxins in his energy point began to tremble.

Energies cannot have emotions, but it clearly seemed that they did.

Why not? It was like a chick mindlessly entering a cave and running into a tiger.

Kwaaaaaaa!

At the same time, a storm of energy began to flow from the Inner Dan. It was like a dam breaking and releasing an explosive torrent of water. The amount was overwhelming, but the purity of the energy was unimaginable.

‘He really was a monster.’

Not even swallowing the core of a dragon would achieve something like this. What is he supposed to do with an Inner Dan that contains this level of power?

If he had a little conscience, he wouldn’t have put this inside a human body!

The energy of the Inner Dan chased the demonic energy and rushed towards the energy point. Sensing the scene, a tear appeared in his eyes.

‘Guys, that’s a very important place.’

The energy point is the most important place for a martial artist. If the energy point collapses, it not only means the end as a martial artist. It’s not that non-martial artists don’t have an energy point. The energy channels become blocked, making it impossible to live even as a normal person.

And now, in that crucial place, a battle was being fought.

No, calling it a battle would be inaccurate. It was more like a one-sided beating or a massacre.

The energy of the Inner Dan, detecting the demonic energy, launched itself with fury. And then…

Bang!

Shake.

Bang!

Shake.

It began to hit savagely.

The energy was crushing and decomposing the demonic energy. It would be as if someone climbed on top of another and began to punch with both fists without obstacles.

The demonic energy seemed to have given up resisting.

It writhed weakly, but that was more of a whimper than resistance.

Sure.

Resistance depends on the opponent. Who would dare to resist against this?

It was the energy of Baek Muhan.

Even a Radiant Demon level leader of the Demon Cult would become a lamb… no, a puppy on its back before the energy of Baek Muhan. How would a lower demonic energy generated by the Blood Explosive Dan dare to try to resist?

The result was obvious.

The intruder who disturbed the owner of the house was beaten and fell unconscious. But the owner was not satisfied. As if wanting to reform the intruder in this opportunity, he kept hitting as if he were hammering.

The demonic energy, torn to shreds, was finally completely neutralized and dispersed.

‘So far, it was to be expected…’

With the Inner Dan acting, there was no way for the demonic energy to find a place to stand. Anyone could have foreseen it. The problem was what came next.

Would that energy flowing from the Inner Dan… no, that honorable energy flowing from the Inner Dan, really quietly return to its place?

Everything for Wei Yanho depended on that.

‘Come on, you already did what you had to do…’

Kuuuuun!

Gluup!

A geyser of blood gushed from Wei Yanho’s mouth. The energy, far from returning to the Inner Dan, began to wreak havoc.

‘I’m finished!’

He didn’t know why it was angry, but it seemed to be very angry.

‘P-p-please, calm down…’

At that moment, contrary to Wei Yanho’s desperate wish, the energy began to circulate throughout his body. And violently.

Well.

When had his master ever listened to what he said?

Wei Yanho was not someone who would be easily dominated either, but before Baek Muhan, he couldn’t even show his face.

‘Aaaaaah! Maaaaaaster!’

Strictly speaking, it was not his master, but his master’s energy… but what difference did it make? He thought that without the will it would be better than his master, but seeing how the energy moved, he realized that it was not so.

His fury was identical to when his master got angry.

Wei Yanho began to wonder if the energy accumulated by a person acquired the same temperament as her. If he managed to solve this, he would go down in history as a martial theorist who presented a new theory to the martial world.

If he managed to survive, of course.

The energy of the Inner Dan was uncontrollable. At the same time, it entered and left Wei Yanho’s body as if it were his home. Stirring here, pressing there… as if he were meticulously inspecting a house for a major renovation.

But a frog can die from a stone thrown as a game by a child.

Every time the energy touched him, Wei Yanho’s body jumped in fright. He could almost hear his body screaming.

‘Why are you doing this?’

If you want to kill me, kill me! If you want to save me, save me! What is this… huh?

At that moment, the energy spread throughout his body and began to clean each of his meridians.

‘Huh?’

If Wei Yanho had been able to move his body, he would have tilted his head in confusion.

What was this phenomenon?

‘Huh? This?’

It was something he had seen many times.

Now that he thought about it, this phenomenon occurred every time he introduced his energy into the body of others. It burned all the impurities in the meridians and stole even the last drop of residual energy.

Like a plague of locusts falling on a field of ripe rice.

And now the same thing was happening here?

He had no time to question it. The energy of the Inner Dan, which had traveled all his meridians and collected all the energy scattered throughout his body, returned to the energy point, threw out Wei Yanho’s accumulated energy and was absorbed back into the Inner Dan.

It was as if his master scolded him saying: “You can’t even do this right!”

‘Even without your will, you keep scolding. Seriously.’

When all the energy was recovered, Wei Yanho slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he was surprised at the scene in front of him.

Everyone was staring at him, keeping a certain distance. Not a single gaze strayed. It had been a long time since he had received so much attention.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…Are you okay?”

“Yes. Why?”

But the answers he received were not very encouraging.

“It doesn’t look like you’re okay…”

“You shouldn’t be okay…”

“If you’re okay, then there’s a problem…”

Wei Yanho frowned in confusion.

“What do you mean?”

“Ahem.”

Jangil, feeling the need to explain the situation, coughed and stepped forward.

“Well, to begin with… while you had your eyes closed, a lot of things happened.”

“What things?”

“Actually, unimportant things. Only that you did about thirty-six somersaults in the air, you swelled up as if you were going to explode and then you shrank repeatedly. In the middle of that, you spat blood like four times and rolled on the ground, but that’s not important.”

“…What trivial things, seriously.”

If you think about it in the vast martial world, how insignificant is… wait, no!

“How are they trivial!”

“They are, really. Compared to what you are going through now, they are very trivial things.”

“Huh?”

“Look, your body.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head and lowered it. Then he saw it. His body, now dyed a dark red.

“Hell…”

Wei Yanho raised a hand and blinked.

“W-what happened?”

“I think those are the typical symptoms of Haejeonghong poisoning.”

“Then you should have cured me!”

“Do you think I have the ability to catch someone doing somersaults in the air to cure him? If I had that ability, I wouldn’t be living like this!”

“…You’re right, you’re a beggar.”

“Even now, you damn!”

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

Wei Yanho checked his body.

If he was poisoned by Haejeonghong, there would obviously be problems…

“I don’t feel anything.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Seriously, I don’t feel anything? But… why am I like this? Why red?”

Wei Yanho frowned and looked at his body. It seems that his body swelled and shrank while controlling the energy. His clothes were torn in several places, and through the holes his reddened body could be seen.

“Is there really no problem?”

“Wait.”

Wei Yanho crossed his legs and examined his interior again before opening his eyes.

“There really doesn’t seem to be a problem… No, rather, how do I say it?”

His internal energy had increased.

And quite a bit.

“And the demonic energy?”

“You won’t believe me, but I think I absorbed it properly.”

“…”

“You don’t believe me?”

“No, it’s just that…”

Jangil was willing to accept it.

What couldn’t this guy do?

“And the patient?”

“The leader of the medical room is taking care of him. He says that he has to be observed a little more, but it seems that he has begun to recover.”

“I see. Then…”

Wei Yanho nodded slowly.

“I absorbed the toxins and the demonic energy, which cured him, and also my internal energy increased…”

Wei Yanho stood up calmly. People quickly backed away.

“What?”

“N-nothing, just…”

“What strange people. Then… where is it?”

“The what?”

“My medicine… I mean, the patients.”

“T-the patients? Are you going to continue curing?”

“Of course. This is just beginning.”

Wei Yanho smiled maliciously.

“I have to devour them all without leaving a single one.”

Jangil began to feel uneasy again.
