A week passed.
During that ti, Shaolin was busy to the point of being in a state of ergency.
The collapsed and destroyed pavilions were repaired again.
There was quite a bit of wealth left in the Red Buddha Hermitage for future generations.
No matter how much Shaolin professed non-possession and non-desire, since it was a martial sect, a moderate amount of money was essential.
On top of that, the improvent of the relationship with the Pine Truth Sect was also a great help.
"I apologize for my great-uncle's indiscretion."
In the power struggle within the Pine Truth Sect, the son of Baek Gong-yang had originally lost, and the nephew had won and had rushed to Shaolin and had prostrated himself.
"It was only Baek Gong-yang who had contact with the unidentified unorthodox sect, and our Pine Truth Sect will hone our Buddhist heart and remain as a secular branch of Shaolin."
"Thank you, Master of the Pine Truth Sect. The rcy of Buddha is only wider."
In fact, the only one related to the Blood Ghost Valley was Baek Gong-yang.
The martial artists who had shared Baek Gong-yang's will had mostly died on the day of the incident.
The Pine Truth Sect, fearing the retaliation of Shaolin, which had boasted its strength even in the face of a surprise attack, had no choice but to prostrate itself.
It wasn't just that they had prostrated themselves. The Pine Truth Sect was financially sound even among the secular branches.
With the gold and silver that had co in, Shaolin had set out to rebuild.
"We need ti."
But what was important was ti.
Although they had recovered the various martial arts that had been lost at Shaolin, it would take a lot of ti to learn them.
Moreover, as a prestigious orthodox sect, they could not just stand by when their main temple had been attacked.
The problem was that the current number of people at Shaolin had shrunk considerably, and the damage to the Arhat monks was not small.
In this situation, the tracking of the Blood Ghost Valley and the Blood Demon Sect was a distant task.
Moreover, the fact that it took a long ti to learn the Shaolin martial arts due to their characteristics was important.
Even if they took turns learning the martial arts and took care of their work, problems were bound to arise.
"Eum. First, let's have the Arhat monks focus on learning the lost martial arts."
"I understand."
"Also, let's try to make the Great Return Pill with the help of the esteed dicine Immortal. Although there is a secret manual, the manufacturing is not that easy."
"Will that be okay?"
At Master Muso's sowhat anxious question, the Great Master Hyeryang shook his head.
"Although it is clearly forbidden to let the manufacturing thod of the Great Return Pill be known to outsiders, the esteed dicine Immortal is a trustworthy person. I will ask him myself."
If only the manufacturing of the Great Return Pill was done properly, a quantum leap was possible.
Originally, the Great Return Pill was very rare, so only those who had made great contributions or the executive-level mbers of Shaolin could take it.
But the Great Master Hyeryang was thinking of trying to make it possible for the Arhat monks to take one each if possible.
Since there was gold and silver that had co in from the Pine Truth Sect, it would be possible if they pushed themselves to so extent.
"And how is Cheonghyeonjin?"
"He is recuperating after taking the dicine that the dicine Immortal gave him."
"That's a relief. In any case, this is a matter that not only Shaolin but also the orthodox martial world, including Mount Hua Sect, should step forward. We need the Jin-in's help."
Regarding this matter, the Great Master Hyeryang thought that a joint response was necessary.
As it was in the past righteous-demonic war, it was not a fight that Shaolin could win alone.
Cheonghyeonjin was a person who would be a great help in that respect.
Because he was a person who would at least reveal what had happened that day and would try to cooperate.
"Is Young Master Cheon still in the ditation cave?"
The ditation cave was a place where they had been doing closed-door training since ancient tis.
"That's right. There is no news yet."
"I see. Then, Master Muso, please focus on guiding the Arhat monks."
Master Muso withdrew.
The Great Master Hyeryang remained in the room and quietly sank into his thoughts.
Nurous worries about what to do in the future continued in his mind, and those worries finally reached Cheon Mubaeck.
'The Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero...'
Although the public opinion was that it was still an excessive title, it would only be a matter of ti.
The Great Master Hyeryang did not have a single doubt that that title would soon shake the world.
* * *
Cheon Mubaeck quietly left the ditation cave.
For a week, he had entered a closed-door training.
In fact, the entire Shaolin was busy, and he had to track the Blood Ghost Valley and the Blood Demon Sect right away, but to Cheon Mubaeck, this was a more important matter.
Looking at the results, he was very satisfied.
"The dicine Immortal. That guy's dicine making hasn't rusted, but has gotten better."
A smile appeared on Cheon Mubaeck's lips.
The number of Great Return Pills he had received from Hyeryang was exactly five.
But when he had entrusted the five to the dicine Immortal, they had returned as just one pill.
At first, Cheon Mubaeck had thought he had been scamd, but fortunately, that was not the case.
He had made the five Great Return Pills into one. If you just looked at the simple numbers, it should have had five tis the efficacy, but surprisingly, it was double that.
"He hasn't lost his touch."
Even the dicine Immortal had realized that Cheon Mubaeck was using his upper dantian.
The Great Return Pill was clearly an elixir that was second to none in the world. But that was an efficacy that had only been proven in the lower dantian.
The dicine Immortal had specially recombined it to fit the use of the upper dantian.
In fact, after taking it, Cheon Mubaeck had spent a whole week to completely absorb the internal energy of the Great Return Pill.
And the result was the best.
"With this much, if you count it as the lower dantian, it's at least at the top, no, the very top of the peak?"
That was just the total amount of pure internal energy.
If you were to consider the purity and power of the internal energy here?
Cheon Mubaeck's smile deepened even more.
The total amount of internal energy could be seen as Cheon Mubaeck's only weakness.
Because of the fact that it was the upper dantian, and the fact that the accumulation of internal energy was basically slow.
In fact, when Gu-seong and the Eighteen Stars had fled before, the reason he had not been able to chase them was because the consumption of his internal energy had been so severe.
But now that weakness had been overco to so extent.
"Moreover, this Heaven-Shaking Soul Art guy was also unexpectedly hiding his teeth."
In fact, the complete absorption of the elixir had ended in four days.
The reason he had spent more ti was to organize what he had learned so far.
Especially the Heaven-Shaking Soul Art.
Since the internal energy of Taoism and Buddhism was the basic foundation, the Heaven-Shaking Soul Art was relatively calm.
It was not suitable for a martial art that produced an instantaneous explosive power in a short ti.
But in the previous fight, that theory was wrong.
Swept away by anger, Cheon Mubaeck's internal energy was violent, unlike before.
The explosive power that ca out from there was not lacking in anything compared to the internal energy cultivation thods of the Demonic Cult.
So Cheon Mubaeck had been able to take out several martial arts that he had not used so far.
Cheon Mubaeck slowly circulated the Heaven-Shaking Soul Art and took a step forward.
A slow movent.
But with each step he took, a heavy power was felt.
And the mont that power reached a certain standard.
Paat!
No one could find Cheon Mubaeck's figure.
The Heaven-Earth Eagle Steps flowed out leisurely.
* * *
"Really? It was really solved well?"
"That's right. Here is the young master's letter."
Cheon Yuhwa's expression brightened at once as she saw the handwriting written on the letter.
Cheon Yuhwa's pupils gradually turned red as she read the letter.
How worried had she been?
The news that Shaolin had been attacked was like a bolt from the blue to Cheon Yuhwa, who had been sohow supporting the escort agency.
Weren't her father, the escort warriors, and her younger brother Cheon Mubaeck at Shaolin?
Fortunately, her worries had ended in vain.
Although there were injured people, no one had lost their lives. Above all, her father and younger brother were safe. And since they had found the culprit of the incident and had received an apology from Shaolin for the misunderstanding, it ant that everything was resolved.
"That's a relief. Really."
"V-Vice Chief. Is it true that the young master is safe?"
Cheon Yuhwa smiled brightly at Jeombak, who had rushed in.
It was Jeombak who had been suffering a lot because he had not been able to follow Cheon Mubaeck.
"Yes. Everyone is safe."
"Oh my. My lord. Thank you."
The atmosphere of the escort agency improved at once.
When it was known that all the detained escort warriors were also safe, the gloomy atmosphere that had been there so far had completely disappeared.
"But..."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"It's not a problem, but there's sothing a little strange."
Cheon Yuhwa narrowed her brow and pointed to the end of the letter.
"It says here that the escort agency will soon be busy, so we should prepare well, Mubaeck."
"Busy?"
"Yes. Since we've cleared up the misunderstanding and Shaolin has also officially apologized, it will be helpful for the operation of the escort agency."
Cheon Yuhwa found it hard to understand.
It was natural that the situation of the escort agency, which had rapidly worsened, would improve. Because they had a track record that they had built up so far.
But in the letter, Cheon Mubaeck had even added his opinion that it would be better to recruit more escort warriors if possible.
Then it ant that it would be busier than before, but Cheon Yuhwa could not understand it at all.
And that question was resolved not long after.
"Vice Chief, the Hwang family has proposed a security service contract."
"From the Hwang family?"
Wasn't the Hwang family the place that had unilaterally notified them of the contract termination a while ago?
Cheon Yuhwa tilted her head.
The problem did not end there.
"Vice Chief! The Lee family has also requested a security contract."
"An escort request has co in from the Hongseong-pa."
"It's an escort request from the Byeolryeong Mountain Villa."
"Four escort requests have also co in from the governnt office."
"...!"
A flood of requests.
It was a surprising change, considering that just yesterday, only flies were flying around.
Even a large-scale request that they had not been able to win before had co in first.
In a situation that was hard to understand, Cheon Yuhwa was shocked by the news that was delivered next.
"What did you say? What contract did my father win?"
"Well... it's a security service."
"So. Where are they providing security? I think I misheard."
Cheon Yuhwa's mouth fell open at the following answer.
"It's Shaolin."
* * *
"Headed for Shaanxi..."
"Since Ran-a tracked it, it must be certain."
Cheon Mubaeck nodded his head. When Cheon Mubaeck agreed so easily, the dicine Immortal's face changed strangely.
"Why do you accept it so easily?"
"Didn't you receive the lightness skill from the Azure Sky Sword God? It seems you have passed it on to your granddaughter."
"My goodness. You really are a descendant of the Azure Sky Sword God."
Of course. I am the Azure Sky Sword God.
Cheon Mubaeck had once taught the dicine Immortal a lightness skill.
Since there were so many people who were after the dicine Immortal's dicine, he had taught him so that he could run away well.
That lightness skill had saved the dicine Immortal several tis. So it was the reason why he had been able to co without hesitation even at Cheon Mubaeck's request to co to Shaolin.
"Then I'll have to go to Shaanxi."
Cheon Mubaeck made a decision.
He had caught the tail of the Blood Ghost Valley.
The old man who had broken through the dicine Immortal's formation and had run away.
Even if it was a formation that the dicine Immortal had hastily made, the fact that he had broken through it ant that he was an extraordinary skilled person.
"Because if I miss him now, he might hide completely."
Now that he had caught a trace, he had to chase him.
"Then please accompany , young hero."
At that mont, Cheonghyeonjin stepped forward.
Cheonghyeonjin had taken the dicine Immortal's dicine and had shaken off his internal injuries.
"This Taoist also has to return to Mount Hua and inform them of the detailed circumstances of what has happened so far."
Cheon Mubaeck nodded his head.
Even if he went to Shaanxi, the tracking would not be easy.
How could it be easy to find one person in the vast land of the Central Plains?
Then he needed the help of a large organization, and the first thing that ca to mind was Mount Hua Sect. Moreover, Cheonghyeonjin had clearly seen and experienced everything at Shaolin. And his trust in Cheon Mubaeck was also certain.
So Cheon Mubaeck also knew well that it would be much better to move with him.
"We at Shaolin should also send soone..."
Master Muso, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened his mouth with a sowhat difficult expression.
He had already talked with Cheonghyeonjin and had agreed to cooperate on the matter of the Blood Ghost Valley.
But he had to go to Mount Hua and talk with the sect leader for sure.
To do that, a person with so weight from Shaolin had to go, but there was no one at Shaolin, which had been in seclusion for a long ti.
Master Muso had to move, but the problem was that Shaolin was ridiculously busy now. It would take a long ti just to learn the martial arts in the Red Buddha Hermitage, and they also had to be thorough in their preparations for the Blood Ghost Valley.
So, they were short of people.
It was then that Cheon Mubaeck, who had been listening to all the stories, suddenly stepped forward.
"So, you're short of manpower because you have to prepare for a possible attack from the Blood Ghost Valley?"
"That's right. If not , at least the vice-head of the Arhat Hall has to go directly, but if he is gone, the defensive posture will be too loose."
Cheon Mubaeck nodded his head.
"Then you should outsource it."
"...Outsource?"
"I'm saying you should outsource the security and patrol."
"..."
For a mont, as if they did not understand what he was saying, the crowd was silent.
Cheon Mubaeck said with a slightly frustrated face.
"What does an escort agency do? Escort missions, and security sowhere, and guarding important people. Please make a request to us."
"...!"
"Ah. We'll protect Shaolin."
