Episode 266.
My head, which felt like it was going to burst, suddenly cleared up.
The vision that had been cloudy as if covered in fog was now clear.
Like seeing a clear sky after rain.
As if glasses full of foreign substances were washed clean with water.
The sight that was righted was clearer than ever.
A smell seeping into the tip of my nose.
A sound heard by the ears.
The sensation of brushing against the skin.
I felt like my five senses were becoming more acute.
With this, Siwoo’s level rose several levels higher.
Siwoo just now and Siwoo just now.
It was only a few minutes, but the difference in level was enormous.
If you were to shed your old self and be reborn, would this be how it would feel?
‘…what?’
I really felt like something was wrong.
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the sudden change.
There is a divine medicine technique (S+) that has a proficiency of over 100%.
The divine medicine (S+) was recording the highest level of proficiency that could be achieved.
‘But it is still a divine technique.’
But there was no significant change.
Unlike the previous powers, nothing changed even though I recorded 110% proficiency.
‘Is it not my strength yet?’
It was still Hwa-tu’s divine medicine (S+).
‘The subscription wasn’t compressed either?’
That would be the case, because it was the maximum level of skill that could be achieved anyway.
Although it was still Hwa-tu’s divine medicine [神醫術] (S+), it was an undeniable fact that he could use its power perfectly.
At this moment, I was trying to check if the subscription had been activated.
“Tongue, bro. Are you okay?”
Kim Yi-jun’s voice was heard.
Kim Yi-jun approached Si-woo with a worried expression on his face, his vision clear.
Behind Kim Yi-jun are Seo-ah and Heuk-dol.
And Kwon In-hye was also looking at Si-woo with a very worried expression.
Siwoo said, pressing down on the notification windows on his retina and turning them off.
“It’s okay. Just wait, I’m just dizzy.”
“Brother… Are you really okay?”
“Honestly, it wasn’t like that before, but it’s really okay now.”
It’s not just okay, it’s like feeling like you’ve been reborn.
Even Siwoo himself was surprised.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
“thank god….”
Seo-ah let out a big sigh of relief.
Wow!
Heukdol also came to Siwoo and hugged him, feeling relieved.
Siwoo gently lifted Heukdoli into his arms and stroked him roughly.
“By the way, oppa.”
Seo-ah’s voice was heard at that moment.
When I turned my head, Seo-ah continued speaking with a questioning expression.
“Who is this person?”
Then Seo-ah turned her head to one side of the hospital room.
The gaze that followed Seo-ah was of a cute and modest high school girl.
Kwon Pil-sang’s daughter, Kwon In-hye, appeared.
“I was wondering that too….”
Kim Yi-jun also asked, apparently curious.
If it’s natural, then it’s natural.
Wow!
Only Heukdol knew about Kwon In-hye.
“Oh, that’s it.”
Siwoo told the two a related story.
And that’s the end of that short story.
“In that sense, I’d like to stay in the same hospital room. Is that okay?”
Siwoo asked Seoah cautiously.
That would be the case, since it was Siwoo’s arbitrary decision.
If Seo-ah feels uncomfortable… .
“Of course it’s okay!”
Seo-ah shouted as if asking what was going on.
At the same time, Seo-ah said to Kwon In-hye.
“My name is Maeng Seo-ah. As you heard, I’m Maeng Si-woo’s younger sister!”
“… Yes? Oh, yes. Nice to meet you… My name is Kwon In-hye…”
Kwon In-hye responded with great bewilderment at Seo-ah’s sudden greeting.
“We’re the same age. Feel free to talk.”
“Ha, but….”
“Hey, we’re going to be together from now on.”
Seo-ah smiled bashfully.
Could it be because of Seo-ah’s smile?
“Then… I’ll call you Seo, Seo-ah.”
“Yeah! Nice to meet you, Inhye!”
The two people became close friends quickly.
As he quietly watched the scene, Siwoo felt a sense of relief.
First of all, it felt like Seo-ah had been completely cured and that she had made a friend.
Seo-ah and Kwon In-hye, who suffered from the same blood disease.
Since they both suffered from the same disease, they were suffering from the same pain.
Siwoo could have played the role of Seoah’s older brother or father.
But I couldn’t be a friend to my peers.
As a woman, there were many things about Seo-ah that I couldn’t sympathize with or understand.
“Ugh!”
For a moment, Seo-ah’s expression suddenly turned sour and she frowned.
Siwoo was startled and asked Seoah.
“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
“Uh, yeah? Oh, no… that’s not it, ugh!”
Seo-ah clutched the area between her lower abdomen and pelvis as the pain struck again.
At that moment, Si-woo was trying to check Seo-ah’s condition.
“Is that… that thing?”
Kwon In-hye spoke carefully.
“Ah, yeah… .”
Then Seo-ah nodded slightly.
that?
Siwoo tilted his head for a moment.
“This is what I used to use all the time… It’s a steaming pack…”
“Okay, just a moment. Inhye.”
Seo-ah shouted, cutting off Kwon In-hye’s words.
After a while, Seo-ah looked at Si-woo.
“Oh, oppa. Inhye and I have something to talk about alone….”
Hehehe, he said with a distant expression.
It was a sudden request, but Siwoo didn’t bother to ask.
Because I thought I knew what you were trying to say.
Honestly, Siwoo could have seen it better too.
Because the divine medicine (S+) with a proficiency of 110% could even solve a woman’s mystery.
But there are also secret stories between women.
Anyway, Seo-ah’s condition seems to be fine.
“OK got it.”
Siwoo consciously got out of his seat.
And there’s another guy here.
“My name is Kim Yi-jun! Here, I am Si-woo’s colleague and the cameraman who serves him closest─.”
“You come out too.”
Even Kim Lee-jun, who interfered without notice, is included.
* * *
After leaving the hospital room, Siwoo headed straight home.
Now that Seo-ah’s energy is weakening.
It was also to make a tonic for Seo-ah.
Huh?
As soon as I entered the house, Samsoon, who had been sitting in front of the door, got up.
Samsoon, who has grown bigger because she has been eating well.
The size that had been similar to that of a large dog had now grown to the size comparable to that of a motorcycle.
‘If this continues, I’m afraid the house will be destroyed.’
Just like the actual size of a myth.
Kiiing?
Samsoon kept tilting her head while looking at Siwoo.
And as if that weren’t enough, sniff sniff.
I pushed my six nostrils in and smelled Siwoo.
It seemed as if he didn’t recognize Siwoo.
For a moment, I wondered why he was like this.
“Have you noticed that I’ve changed?”
The feeling of being born again felt in none other than the hospital room.
I just thought it was my mood.
Kkieeeeing?
Looking at Samsoon now, it didn’t seem like it was just my imagination.
Samsoon was confused about Siwoo.
Siwoo was wondering if it was Siwoo.
Although her name was Samsoon, her true identity was none other than the gatekeeper of hell, Cerberus.
That Cerberus would react like that.
“Isn’t this something out of the ordinary?”
It seemed necessary to check it properly once.
Siwoo calmly observed his body, leaving Samsoon behind who was whining.
And soon.
“…uh?”
I could feel the changes in my body.
No, it wasn’t that much of a difference.
“Are the Im-maek and Du-maek open?”
The basic requirements for a complete transformation.
The two blood vessels of the body, called the Imduyangmaek (任督兩脈), were connected.
This means that.
“A complete transformation has taken place?”
A complete transformation.
Siwoo’s changed body had completely transformed.
“Why is this…?”
Siwoo was extremely embarrassed.
I was so confused that I couldn’t understand.
A complete transformation wasn’t something that could be accomplished so easily.
So, it was by no means easy to break through the two veins of the Im-Dok-Yang-Maek.
The gateway between life and death, the Mysterious Pass of Life and Death.
There literally had to be a process of going back and forth between life and death.
It was never something that could be accomplished all at once.
“But how… Oh, by any chance?”
One possibility that comes to mind at that moment.
Siwoo immediately waved his hand through the air.
And I checked the notification window I had seen in the hospital room again.
&
&
A notification window that states that you have fully understood the concept of transformation.
I thought deeply about this meaning.
“While examining Seo-ah’s body, did I come to understand it without realizing it?”
Intuition.
A phenomenon in which one feels and understands something immediately when encountering it, without any explanation or proof.
This is a phenomenon that has not been scientifically proven, but it clearly exists.
So, scientists have called this intuitive phenomenon ‘judgments made at a speed that the mind cannot comprehend.’
Thus, Shi Woo’s Future Vision (SR) evolved based on Zhuge Liang’s insight (S+).
It seemed that this future vision (SR) cognitive ability intuitively understood the concept of transformation without Si-woo knowing.
Of course, a complete transformation cannot be achieved through ‘understanding’ alone.
“Have all the efforts I’ve made so far gone to waste?”
Siwoo has been continuously making efforts to transform himself.
But there was no significant progress.
What is a complete transformation?
How to achieve it.
Through Hwa-tu’s knowledge, I knew the theory very well.
However, theory and practice are completely different.
I didn’t know how to achieve a complete transformation.
It was nothing more than a pipe dream.
It was like I was just accumulating knowledge.
However, I personally witnessed Seo-ah’s transformation.
Although it was an imperfect metamorphosis, I was able to directly see how it was accomplished.
Ah, so that’s what a complete transformation is like!
I was able to witness the reality of the illusion that seemed like a passing cloud.
Seeing is believing.
Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.
It’s better to see once than to ask a hundred times.
It’s better to do something once than to see it a hundred times.
What had been accumulated as knowledge was transformed into experience, allowing us to approach the reality of a complete transformation.
“…It’s not perfect.”
But it wasn’t perfect.
The transformation was in the blood vessel called Imdokyangmaek.
And this is called Imdokyangmaek.
The Im vein, which governs yin energy.
The master vessel that governs yang energy.
These two bloods were called.
“It’s not easy to break through the veins.”
Currently, the flow of the Im vein, which controls the yin energy, is not smooth.
There is one reason for this.
“It’s really hard to accept the negative energy….”
It was because Siwoo was a man.
Due to his innate nature, Siwoo had a small vessel to receive negative energy.
Because of that, Siwoo’s current transformation was not complete.
It’s barely the first step.
“This is the level at which you can take your first steps.”
I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to achieve a complete transformation.
anyway.
“From now on, we need to find a way to open the Im vein… .”
It was relatively easy to open the Du-maek (督脈) that governs yang energy.
Of course, it was relatively easy, but it was also true that it was difficult.
But it wasn’t a big problem for Siwoo.
Ra’s Red Flame (SSS).
The sun was so radiant that it could be said to be yang energy itself.
Siwoo has that kind of power of the sun.
There was no great difficulty in passing the poison.
Even though his skill level was low, the sun’s yang energy was sufficient.
but.
“I can’t do anything about the negative energy….”
A complete transformation requires the harmony of yin and yang.
Just by looking at Seo-ah, you can see what kind of results an unbalanced transformation would bring about.
Of course, there was a way.
To be exact, Siwoo has been making these efforts consistently.
Hydra’s Venom (SS+).
While yang energy contains vitality.
The negative energy had the opposite energy, the energy of death.
So, Siwoo had been absorbing the negative energy through the death energy of the poisonous plant.
So, if you consistently consume the poisonous plant, you can gather the necessary yin energy.
but.
“You’re saying that the skill level of poison doesn’t increase very much?”
The current Hydra’s Venom [Serious Poison] (SS+) proficiency was as follows.
&
44.3%
Considering that 10% of proficiency was given for free, it was 34.3%.
Excluding the recently learned traits, this is the situation where you have the lowest proficiency.
Considering that Confucius’s SSS was 61.83%, his proficiency was clearly increasing slowly.
“So-eun also said that the poisonous plant is difficult to obtain.”
These days, the amount of poisonous plants that So-eun brings in has almost dried up.
Because of that, the skill level of poison was not affected in a dire way.
“I heard that there was a problem with the supply side….”
I’m not sure what the problem is.
But that was something Siwoo couldn’t do anything about.
“There is no way to increase your proficiency beyond this.”
In a word, it could be said that the situation was at a standstill.
Huh?
Kiiing?
“hmm….”
Siwoo fell into deep thought along with Samsoon.
Right then.
“ah!”
A mind-boggling thought crossed my mind.
* * *
B+ Grade Basilisk Dungeon.
Kkeue, kkeueeek!
Siwoo grabbed the struggling basilisk.
Then he put his hand into its mouth and squeezed the venom gland.
Sizzle.
The venom gland burst and a yellow liquid flowed out.
Siwoo excitedly put the poison he had been hiding in his mouth.
Basilisk venom is a deadly poison known to contain a lethal dose of poison equivalent to 3,000 people with just one drop.
The pungent smell of death spread through my mouth.
but.
“… It doesn’t have much effect.”
It had no effect on Siwoo.
Even if the basilisk’s venom is venomous or something, it cannot compare to the hydra’s venom (SS+).
“I think I’ll have to use a stronger poison….”
The problem was that venom stronger than basilisk venom was not common.
It wasn’t uncommon, it was almost non-existent.
Although it was possible to obtain it, it was definitely difficult to take it continuously.
So, Siwoo came up with a way to solve this problem.
“It’s almost time to come… .”
The moment it happens.
[Why did you suddenly want to see me?]
A familiar voice was heard from one side.
Dozens of pairs of eyes and eight legs.
Arachne, who took the form of a giant spider.
Arachne was approaching Siu, her legs poking the floor.
[Did you manage to get all the Orichalcons?]
Arachne asked with a questioning expression.
Siwoo answered, shaking his head slightly.
“No, that’s not it. I’m contacting you because I have a favor to ask of you, Lady Arachne.”
[Please?]
Siwoo nodded once and said.
“I understand that Lady Arachne’s venom is quite strong, is that correct?”
Arachne is the mother of all spiders.
The concept of the poisonous spider also originated from Arachne.
Arachne possessed considerable skills in weaving and poisoning.
[It’s not really worth bragging about.]
As expected, Arachne nodded.
[Why all of a sudden?]
Arachne’s question continued.
Siwoo spoke to Arachne right away.
“Then, could you please sprinkle some poison on me?”
[………yes?]
Arachne’s face just floated away.
