66 – Yin and Yang (陰陽)
[Check the change in favorability.]
[Confirm the updates for Yurika, Erina, Yuen Joun, and Seolgaram.]
[Select a talent.]
“Whoa…” “
I wiped away the cold sweat and turned off all the message windows that were distracting my vision.
“K. Let’s begin.”
▶I understand.
[Opens the store window.]
[Search for notes on ‘Mugeukcheonhwa’.]
[Recommended list is being updated.]
▶Master. Found it. This is the recipe you wanted.
“Okay, buy it.”
▶But the price…
“It’s okay.”
The points earned, including this incident, are significant.
As much as I earned, I had to spend it generously when I had to spend it.
[Search complete.]
[Purchase the Cheonhu-Eumyangdan (SSS) recipe.]
[Price: 300,000(P)]
[Total points: 13,150(P)]
‘Sseu-eup… ‘
It’s surprisingly expensive.
The points that exceeded 600,000 evaporated in an instant.
My back is so bent that I have to buy the recipe for the cold ice legend and the heat of the blood.
I would be lying if I said it wasn’t a waste.
‘You should think of it as a necessary investment.’
What we do now is important for our future plans.
Choi Si-woo, who purchased the recipe, held a softly shining scroll in his hand.
The scroll scroll was full of complicated archaic words that I had no idea what they were talking about.
‘Let’s see… ‘
When I opened it, there was a large picture drawn inside it, the size of a carpet. In the center was a huge circle representing positive and negative energy.
Without the slightest hesitation, I uploaded ‘Pyeolhwa’ and ‘Hanbyeonghwa’.
“Whoa…” “
When I sat cross-legged, the blue magic power began to flow in accordance with my principles.
Wow!
A strange pattern is engraved around Choi Si-woo.
The scroll that slowly but quickly swallowed up the mana unfolded its unique form and made an unusual noise.
“Ugh… “
Cold sweat flows down my forehead.
Like a fussy baby, it swallows up the power contained in the Danjeon.
▶Inject mana syringe.
Mana rapidly fills up and drains again, accompanied by a tingling sensation.
How many minutes have passed?
As Choi Si-woo caught his breath, the two flowers disappeared before his eyes, creating a purple ring that gave off an unusual energy as if he were a god.
Surprisingly, Danhwan was floating around on his own, displaying the skill of floating in the air.
[Creating the Yin-Yang Dan (SSS).]
Choi Si-woo carefully picked up the sweet ring with a big smile on his face. An exclamation of admiration escaped me at the brilliant colors.
“This is the Yin-Yang Dan… “
The purple herbal medicine, the size of a human fist, looked like a cheap sphere on the outside, but conflicting energies were stirring inside it.
‘An elixir that can only be consumed by immortals who have achieved the level of excellence.’
I don’t know if it’s accurate or not.
It’s just something that’s been passed down.
When Choi Si-woo also heard the explanation, he thought, ‘Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?’ But when he saw the actual thing, he realized that it wasn’t just a rumor.
Clearly!
As I held the Yin-Yang Altar in my hand, the entire space began to shake.
Even though it was just an elixir, the way it had an effect on the surroundings was truly absurd.
‘Let’s begin.’
A weak sacred power spread around Choi Si-woo, and a small area barely big enough for one person was declared.
[Activates Sanctuary Declaration (Lv.1).]
This is a technique brought to Yurika that is limited to a certain area and is a holy method that increases the recovery of the mind and body and removes evil energy.
After much deliberation, it was her ability to choose within a category that would not cause any harm to her.
Here, I poured the special medicine made by Jegal Eunbyeol into my mouth.
[Ta-da! You have consumed Zhuge Zhuge (A).]
[Jegal Eunbyeol, who has been in sensual poses for several days, appears in your head.]
[Unable to resist her s*xual desire, her husband touches the star and her dreams become connected.]
“…… “
After enduring the extremely bitter taste, the efficacy of the medicine was maximized through synergy with [Proclamation of Sanctuary].
“K. “I will refrain from doing so, but if I feel like I might be caught in a panic attack, I will ask you to take care of me.”
▶Please leave it to me.
Choi Si-woo took a deep breath and swallowed the Yin-Yang Dan down his throat.
Although it was only the size of a fist, it melted like wet cotton candy when it touched the tongue.
“…… “
A moment passes.
Boom!
“Ugh!”
I feel a shock pounding my whole body along with my pulse that feels like it’s about to burst.
“Wow!”
Flame spits out from the open mouth.
The heat caused me to feel pain starting from my esophagus and burning my internal organs.
I bit my lip and shifted my energy here and there.
The lower deck is shaking.
The vast amount of yang energy hit the dantian, causing extreme pain.
‘I can feel pain even though I block my senses…’ ‘
I thought I could understand why anyone could survive unless they were immortals who achieved liberation and left everything behind.
Soon, the feeling in my fingertips disappeared and the extreme cold came.
The blood leaking out between the fingernails freezes like an icicle.
The cold air flowed to the bottom area where the heat was, where it met and began to mix.
Conflicting energies fought with each other as if they wanted to take over this place.
“Ugh!”
▶Master! Be patient! You must hold on!
Choi Si-woo, barely able to swallow his moans, let out all sorts of curses inside.
Inside the danjeon, the yin and yang energies were dancing wildly, blaring as if it were their own home.
Soothes and soothes.
The energy is turned and circulated according to the signal sent by K.
“Ugh… “Ahh!!”
The body burns and freezes.
Jeok-! With a sound, the skin cracked and began to rot.
New flesh grew inside it, transforming it into a stronger body and bones.
Black hair, which symbolizes youth, quickly bleaches to gray, falls out, and grows again and falls out again and again.
Even while experiencing all kinds of hell, Choi Si-woo did not lose his mind.
Bite your tongue and quench your thirst with the blood that enters your mouth.
Choi Si-woo recalled the reason why he created and swallowed the ‘Eumyangdan’, which was not originally planned.
‘I have to become stronger.’
His life, as he looked back through his hallucinations, was a series of sacrifices and resignation.
Countless beings entrusted their hopes and passed away.
His back and bottom were full of dead people who were unable to achieve their goals and fell apart.
In this life, I had to repay that trust.
‘No, there is no need for such a grand reason.’
The cries of a child who could not be protected or born resound like an auditory hallucination.
I didn’t want to lose any more.
I didn’t want to let go anymore.
That’s all.
In the midst of silently holding on.
The alarm I had set went off at just the right time.
“Huh, K… “Turn on the broadcast.”
With a beep sound, the screen installed in the private room lights up.
The announcer was shouting in an urgent voice towards the gate marked in red.
-Citizens! Can you see it! A breakout is about to occur! In the end, Namgoong Mir couldn’t do it!
-This theme dungeon is an unprecedented SS level in Korean history! It’s already been 72 hours since Mir’s guild leader and her members came in willingly… Is this what happens in the end!-
-The government issues an evacuation warning immediately!-
There was chaos everywhere.
It’s not something you can’t understand.
If that gate in front of you breaks out, it won’t end simply because ‘many people died’.
‘Okay… If you fail.’
The Mir stock on the cell phone screen next to me began to plummet rapidly.
Even in the midst of pain, a smile naturally appears.
Everything was going as expected.
‘It is unclear whether regression is correct or not… ‘
Major events have not changed at all.
Choi Si-woo bet his fate on it and a sweet reward is just around the corner.
“Kay! Now!”
▶Yes!
I purchased as many shares as possible at the correct timing.
‘… With this, Mir is done.’
Now all that is left is to silently endure this energy that is fluctuating within the body.
* * *
“…… “
The time of living hell has passed.
When I finally opened my trembling eyelids, the energy that had been running wild like a colt had calmed down like a lie.
There were coppery-smelling secretions scattered around the floor where I was sitting.
You can see dead black skin and pieces of bone crumbling into powder.

‘A complete transformation… ‘
It wasn’t the proper way to achieve enlightenment or anything, so it just floated and flashed! It’s not something that shines, but… It ended up being roughly similar.
Choi Si-woo, who was shivering at the thought of hearing something from Jegal Eun-byeol, calmly stood up.
Recognize that your eye level has changed.
‘Have you grown taller?’ ‘
When I looked in the mirror, I saw that my height, which was in the mid-170s, had grown to the early 180s, and every single scar on my body had disappeared.
It seems like my skin has become smooth like a baby’s…
‘I’m glad that my appearance has improved.’
The most important thing is power supply.
Hadanjeon, divided into two, was circulating with conflicting energies.
It literally looks like yin and yang have been divided.
A deep smile appeared on my face as a miracle occurred that would have been absolutely impossible with a normal structure.
“It is a success.”
Originally, the Yin-Yang Dan was an elixir first absorbed by a hero with the grand nickname ‘Mugeukwicheon’ in his previous life.
I once asked how it was possible to handle conflicting energies freely and because the total amount of magical power was abnormally high…
Thanks to this, Choi Si-woo was able to reach his previous heights and beyond at a faster pace.
[You have reached the Successor of White Clay (Lv. 40).]
[Some of the benefits of the Yin-Yang Dan are permanently granted to the body.]
[The successor of White Clay succeeds in completely achieving the ‘Legend of the Moon’.]
[Congratulations.]
[The successor of White Clay succeeds in evolving into ⇒ Kaguya’s Lion (S).]
[Wolhwi (A), Suinhwa-Baekmyo (A) are automatically installed.]
[The list of currently absorbed elixirs is updated.]
[Idun’s Golden Apple, Zhuge Silver Star Love Elixir, Elixir of Annals, Gongcheondan, Daeyangdan, Blood Yeolhwa, Hanbing Folktale, Yinyangdan… ETC]
“It was good.”
▶Master. This is breaking news.
The announcer, who had been thinking, was shouting with a different meaning.
The gate, which was red, turned white.
The color of the certificate indicating that the strategy has been completed.
Not long after, the strategy team, looking exhausted, walked out from there.
– Citizens! Can you see it! It’s a miracle! 1 Minute before the rain starts! Mir has completed his strategy! This, this… This is a moment that will remain in Korean history!
The alarm on my phone rang like crazy.
Without paying any attention, I looked closely at the gray long-haired woman on the screen.
“… K. Please send a prepared email to Mir. “I told Jegal Eunbyeol that we should start now.”
▶I understand.
Choi Si-woo closed his eyes and thought.
Finally… The gears that will change a future full of regrets have begun to turn.
* * *
A few days later.
Inside the Prunel A class classroom.
“…… “
Choi Si-woo was inwardly embarrassed by the hot gaze he felt from all directions.
A female student whose name he does not know approaches him.
The female student who was twisting her body like a twist held back her shame and opened her mouth.
“Hey… “
“Get out!”
“Hey, over there… “
“Get out!!!”
“Oh, are you free today?”
f*ck you!
Choi Si-woo’s complexion turned pale as he looked at the girls who couldn’t hear anything as if they were deaf.
