Chapter 490

Chapter 490 – The Lazy Healer (5)

“From the beginning, the treatment could only be conceived as medicinal pills. Because they must be used on the battlefield.”

“You’re right.”

Tang Cheongun also agreed.

What was terrifying about this strange disease was clearly that it broke out on the battlefield. Elsewhere, it could be treated with time, but on the battlefield, where life and death are debated every instant, one cannot expect a relaxed treatment.

In such a situation, medicinal pills are the best option.

Acupuncture and pulse diagnosis can only play an auxiliary role. And healing liquids that must be transported in flasks present storage problems.

“Do you know any good alchemists?”

“Not exactly that.”

“Ah. It would be stranger if you knew someone like that.”

“Doesn’t that sound a little weird?”

“But it’s the truth.”

Mmm… well, it’s true.

“So, the person you want to introduce is…?”

“Yes, the person I want to introduce is…”

“It’s not you, is it?”

“What?”

Tang Cheongun put on a clearly bewildered expression.

“It seems like the moment when you would say something like, ‘I learned alchemy techniques from my master’… It seems like your master taught you all kinds of things.”

“It’s true that I learned all kinds of things, but apart from fighting, I didn’t learn anything. Although I did learn how to deal with poisons…”

“Poison? Did you say poison?”

“Yes.”

Tang Cheongun blinked rapidly.

Wei Yanho’s master is an expert. An incredibly powerful expert. We don’t know his name, his nickname, we don’t know anything, and there’s no need to know. Just with the sword techniques this guy has shown, the proof is already complete.

A common expert could not have raised someone like him. If his reputation is high, it must be incredibly high; if he has no reputation, he must be one of the most powerful who remained silent.

And his methods for dealing with poisons?

This must be listened to. It could be of great help to the Tang Family.

“What did your master say?”

“That I should overcome it with my body.”

“…What?”

Wei Yanho shrugged and said:

“My master said: ‘Poison is something harmful that enters your body. In simple terms, it is no different from eating spoiled food and getting sick. Just as a strong stomach can withstand spoiled food, a strong body can resist any poison. So instead of complaining and looking for antidotes, train your body.'”

“……”

“Well, how to say it? It sounds quite convincing…”

“…Nonsense.”

“Exactly!”

Wei Yanho applauded.

It was applause for Tang Cheongun, who said what he didn’t dare to say.

“I think exactly that too. I really think so, but… it’s a little hard to say it out loud. Ah, my master and his things.”

“……”

Yes, you shouldn’t say that. I can, but you can’t.

“Anyway, that’s how I learned to face poisons.”

“It seems your master has never been affected by poison.”

“He says that he once snatched the poison from an old man who used poisons and put it in his mouth, but in the process his hand turned a little black and that made him angry.”

“…Haha, underestimating poisons by facing only one old man. Perhaps he has reached the truth of the sword, but he is too ignorant about poisons.”

“Yes, something like that.”

That, not to mention that that old man was the leader of the Tang Family of Sichuan at that time.

Not to mention that that old man, called something like “Poison King”, was considered one of the greatest experts in poisons among all the family leaders.

My master’s answers are always correct. It’s a proven fact. The problem is that normal people, even if they were resurrected, couldn’t carry them out.

How to face a fast sword?

Move the sword faster than your opponent.

Against someone with exceptional movement skills?

Run faster than him.

All the solutions are like that. In theory, they are correct.

In theory they are correct, but the problem is that the master doesn’t seem to understand that others can’t do it.

Why?

Because he can.

Baek Muhan is the king of “I know because I’ve done it”. Even if you protest saying it doesn’t make sense, he did it, so what can you say?

He is the kind of person who laughingly recounts how the leader of the Beggar Sect, called “Divine Wind”, cursed him and fled, but he chased him with his movement skills, buried him in the North Sea and returned. Later, when that beggar returned to the Central Plains, he barely looked human, and the master laughed so gleefully.

When he later learned that that “Divine Wind” was the fastest beggar in the history of the Beggar Sect, he felt so frustrated.

If you are the best swordsman in the world, be the best swordsman, why do you also need to have the fastest legs?

Divine Wind must have also relied on his legs. No matter how powerful Baek Muhan was, he must have thought that if he cursed and fled beyond the reach of his sword, he wouldn’t be able to catch him.

Yes.

Everyone who faces the master has plausible plans. Until he hits them personally.

‘Consider yourselves lucky not to have been hit personally.’

Seeing Tang Cheongun laughing without knowing anything, the saying “Ignorance is bliss” comes to mind.

“So, who is the doctor you want to introduce?”

“The leader of the Medicinal Hall already knows her, right? The Sacred Hand Hall.”

“Sacred Hand Hall? Did you say Sacred Hand Hall?”

“Yes. Do you know her?”

“Of course. Who in the martial world today doesn’t know the Sacred Hand Hall? It’s the medical school that is rising the most.”

“Wow, that much?”

Wei Yanho felt inexplicably happy.

‘She must be making a fortune.’

Jin Soah perhaps not, but the general administrator is a “Money Demon” who believes that with money even ghosts can be controlled, so right now he must be piling up gold by the shovelful. And all that money is Wei Yanho’s.

“Why are you smiling so sinisterly?”

“Sinisterly?”

“Your appearance is already fierce enough, but with that expression, it’s extremely unpleasant.”

“It seems like you’re going to release poison immediately.”

“…I’ll close my eyes. Don’t mind me and keep talking.”

Wei Yanho coughed once and continued.

“I can bring a doctor related to the Sacred Hand Hall. As she has some experience. They say that medicinal pills were the specialty of the Sacred Hand Hall.”

“Really?”

Surprisingly, the reaction of the leader of the Medicinal Hall was lukewarm.

“The Sacred Hand Hall has been famous for its acupuncture and medicinal pills since the past, but that was in the previous generation. The current Sacred Hand Hall is more praised for its charitable mentality than for its exceptional medical skills. Ah, of course…”

The leader of the Medicinal Hall swallowed and continued.

“I recognize that a charitable mentality is the most important thing for a doctor. That’s why I respect them. But I doubt they can help in this matter…”

“So not?”

Faced with Tang Cheongun’s question, Wei Yanho shrugged.

“What he says is correct.”

“Eh? So it doesn’t make sense to introduce them?”

“I never intended to bring them. They need to make money. They are not people who would come to waste their time here. And I agree that they would not be of much help.”

“What does that mean?”

“The person I want to bring is not from the Sacred Hand Hall. It’s someone who used to be there.”

“…Please, speak clearly. Why are you going around in circles so much?”

“The leader of the Sacred Hand Hall is Jin Soah.”

“I already knew that.”

“But the most skilled person who came out of the Sacred Hand Hall is not Soah. It’s her older sister. Jin Yeran.”

“Jin Yeran?”

Tang Cheongun tilted his head.

But the leader of the Medicinal Hall opened his eyes wide.

“Jin Yeran? The one who is called Saint in the martial world?”

“Yes, her.”

“…That person is from the Sacred Hand Hall?”

“Yes.”

“No, this is…”

The leader of the Medicinal Hall twisted his face as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Saint… I’ve heard rumors about her. I thought it was an exaggerated nickname, but is there a reason why you are so surprised, leader of the Medicinal Hall?”

“The reputation of the Sacred Hand Hall is on the rise. But the fame of Jin Yeran, called the Saint of Mount Nasan, is even greater. If it were known that she is from the Sacred Hand Hall, her reputation would increase even more. Why do they hide that fact?”

“Ah, not anymore. She cut ties and separated.”

“…Cut ties?”

“It’s a bit strong to say that, it was more like… differences in the direction of medicine. It’s something common, isn’t it? Fights over the interpretation of a sword move and someone packs up and leaves.”

“That’s right. It’s common. So that’s what happened!”

The leader of the Medicinal Hall slapped his thigh. As if he finally understood the situation.

“Mmm, that’s not the important thing. So, do you think that Saint of Mount Nasan, Jin Yeran, can help in this?”

“Yes.”

“But isn’t she too young? What do you think, leader of the Medicinal Hall?”

“That part also worries me.”

When both expressed their doubts, Wei Yanho shook his head.

“Her skill is certain. Perhaps it is even better than I think.”

“…Really?”

Tang Cheongun still seemed skeptical. Above all, if it were someone without training, perhaps, but he didn’t believe that Wei Yanho had the eye to judge medical skills.

‘Tsk, has he always been deceived?’

Wei Yanho clicked his tongue softly.

He didn’t know either.

That Jin Yeran’s medical skills were exceptional. He only knew when he came here. To understand a field you don’t know, you need a standard.

Wei Yanho, who had only seen Jin Soah and Jin Yeran, did not have that standard. The person who gave him that standard was the leader of the Medicinal Hall.

‘She will not be inferior.’

Wei Yanho had already seen Jin Yeran treat patients many times. At first, he thought that all doctors did that as normal. But seeing the leader of the Medicinal Hall, he understood.

‘Now I understand.’

Ha Daebung resigned from his position as branch chief of the Milky Way Battlefield and joined the Sacred Hand Hall as general administrator. No matter how high the reputation of the Sacred Hand Hall was, if Jin Soah’s medical skills did not support it, he would never have done something like that.

Jin Soah is not inferior in skill, not only for her age, but among all doctors. Rather, she should be considered exceptional. The medical skills of the prestigious Sacred Hand Hall have not been lost.

And the person before whom Jin Soah could not say a word is Jin Yeran. Wei Yanho, who doesn’t know about medicine, thought it was because Jin Soah was shy and Jin Yeran had a strong character.

But no, it was because Jin Yeran’s medical skills were at a level that Jin Soah could not match.

An older sister with excellent medical skills and a strong character, how could she oppose? If she tells you to die, you should even pretend to die.

“Are you sure she will be helpful?”

“I think she will complement the shortcomings of the leader of the Medicinal Hall.”

“But her experiences must be limited.”

“Can’t you complement that limited experience?”

“Mmm…”

The leader of the Medicinal Hall nodded.

‘In the end, this guy was right.’

The beginning was reckless. But the result was correct. According to Jangil, Wei Yanho is always like that.

So, wouldn’t it be good to trust him?

“Okay, bring her.”

“Actually, I already called her. Probably…”

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the meeting room.

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Yongmin was irritated and the door opened slightly.

“A guest has arrived.”

“Guest?”

Everyone’s eyes focused on Wei Yanho.
