After the Mabo posture, he climbed up and down the stairs with the Water Oak technique.
Certainly, Jin Cheon-hee did not have the physical strength to perform the Water Oak technique right away. However, persistently repeating the first two steps every day and the slight internal energy obtained from the elixir allowed him to assist the physical strength by using the internal energy in the form of the Donggong.
Even with the use of internal energy, the burden transmitted to the arms was not insignificant, making it extrely painful. However, this resulted in rapid muscle developnt and the ergence of physical strength.
Once he beca accustod to it, he descended with closed eyes. This was done to feel the ground with closed eyes and to learn how the central axis of the body moves.
While achieving the Mabo posture might be possible to so extent, descending with the Water Oak technique was impossible without operating the Donggong. Ultimately, the previous steps had to be perfected, and the operation of the Donggong had to beco a habit.
This was the conclusion Jegal Rin reached while establishing the vision martial arts of his family. This conclusion perfectly matched Jin Cheon-hee’s conclusion from reading novels.
“There’s only one problem, there’s no human rights.”
Teaching such education to a child on Earth would be considered child abuse. However, in a world where human life is as disposable as a fly’s life, learning martial arts as a child is a great stroke of luck.
Initially, carrying an empty water bucket up all day took the whole day, but now he filled two buckets tightly and climbed up in half a day.
Later on, he would perform the Mabo posture, descend with the Water Oak technique, and climb up again carrying firewood for tomorrow’s boiling water.
Now, chopping of firewood and more was done in less than a day.
The martial art learned for all this training was called Su Xin Gong.
The aning of Su Xin Gong is to polish and prepare the body, literally a martial art that prepares the body.
It cultivates basic internal energy, trains to use Jin Qi, and practices to develop the body to create a vessel. This martial art is specifically for training.
The effect was clear.
“Now that you can carry the water bucket so stably, it’s ti to move on to the next step.”
“Really!?”
Joy appeared on Jin Cheon-hee’s face.
“Of course. The next step is a new internal energy technique. Since you’ve polished the path to so extent with Su Xin Gong, now you need to learn how to use that path.”
“Wow!”
“And tomorrow, you’ll have four water buckets.”
“Ugh….”
He has no rcy even with an angelic face.
Jin Cheon-hee recalls an incident from a few months ago while looking at his teacher.
****
A few months ago.
When Jin Cheon-hee decided to beco Jaegal Lin’s disciple and followed him to The White Dragon Peak.
“This is my Manor. People call it The White Dragon Clinic because of its scale.”
Interestingly, Jin Cheon-hee could read the characters here.
It resembled Chinese characters in many ways, but there were also many differences.
It was understandable.
The places in the novel’s setting are in a fictional world, not a world with real internal energy and supernatural beings, even though the clothing and lifestyle resemble ancient China. Anyway, he was grateful that he didn’t have to learn the language again.
Looking at the grand entrance of the elegant building, Jin Cheon-hee expressed gratitude.
A huge building located halfway up a high mountain.
Looking down from there, you could see the ground and villages below.
The huge gate of the tall building had a sign that read The White Dragon Clinic, and behind this beautiful and massive manor, picturesque mountains stretched out.
And in the distance, white steam turned into clouds, drawing lines in the sky.
The sll of boiling eggs wafted through the air.
The hot springs in the Hwa Mountain area!
“In the novel, it was ntioned that Jaegal Rin recuperates in the volcanic area to control his pulse and veins… Seems like this is the place.”
Jin Cheon-hee thought so and spoke.
“It’s quite large. Is it because many patients co here?”
“Of course. Although I haven’t accepted any disciples, it’s a sowhat famous clinic.”
“Sowhat? Master, you’re among the top in the world.”
“Did you know?”
“I knew that much.”
“Haha, I see.”
Jaegal Lin, who beca the master, reached out and gently patted Jin Cheon-hee’s head.
‘This is a bit embarrassing.’
Although he looked like a child on the outside, Jin Cheon-hee, who was an adult on the inside, felt a complex mix of emotions.
“Now, let’s go in. We need to unpack first and take a day to rest. From tomorrow, I’ll start teaching you in earnest.”
“If you an teaching…”
“Martial arts and dicine. Isn’t it obvious?”
Saying that, Jaegal Lin walked briskly forward.
Yooho stared at Jin Cheon-hee with an indifferent expression as he passed.
Jin Cheon-hee followed behind. Soon, he entered the building called The White Dragon Clinic.
TO BE CONTINUED…
