Volcanic Age - Chapter 5.2

Editor: Summerstood, Imagine

‘Nine years, it is not time yet.’ The remaining time Yu Jong Mok had was five years.

However it wasn’t ‘five years’ but ‘only five years’.

In addition, all diseases had to be discovered in its early stages and measures had to be taken.

If not, it could become too late and he wouldn’t be able to treat him.

He didn’t even know what disease it was exactly so in the worst case scenario he may have to act right now.

Ju Seo Cheon worried endlessly the past two months while training his martial arts earnestly.

‘I can only ask the supreme doctor to treat him.’

Supreme Doctor.

The boundary of their medical arts surpassed skilled physicians and became the current doctors. They were living legends.

Masters and experts, that were hard to find now, filled the lands in the era of war.

The Supreme Doctor was one of those people and he passed away in the era of war and disappeared.

‘But how would I contact the Supreme Doctor?’

The Supreme Doctor wasn’t someone he could call as he pleased.

Most of all, Supreme Doctors were so cranky they were also called as Odd Doctors that it was really hard to obtain their hearts. Not even threats worked on them.

There were some famous tales that said that he ignored the requests of the Murim Leaders and other elders.

‘I remember that people went crazy on medical books now that Supreme Doctors were rare…’

Such as Supreme Doctors were beings that stood at the peak of medicinal arts, they had also gathered and recited many medical books.

There were so many of them that there was a rumor saying that all the medical books of the central plains were possessed by the Supreme Doctors.

He was glad that they were medical books. If they had been martial arts books, winds of blood would have blown around the Supreme Doctors.

Whatever the case, Supreme Doctors would go crazy if there was a medical book that not even they saw appeared.

There were quite a lot of people finding medical books to get treatment by a Supreme Doctor and thanks to that the already expensive medicinal books would boom in price with the appearance of the Supreme Doctor.

‘Should I spread the rumor that there is a medical book in the library of Mount Hua Sect?’

It wasn’t a bad method but it wasn’t enough.

There was no way a Supreme Doctor would move just because of a rumor.

He tried to think of other methods besides that but he couldn’t think of anything. He had thought of quite a lot of things in that time and the most certain thing was the treasury of the Three Eyed Immoral God.

Six years later, the existence of the treasury would make even the most uninterested Supreme Doctors move.

If it was a medical book hidden in the treasury, then treatment was a sure thing. He could even ask them to heal his master.

But right now, he was too young so he would get restricted in his actions so he wasn’t able to slip away from interrogations as he pleased.

The treasury was located at a really far place from Mount Hua Sect but the biggest problem was that his martial arts were too weak.

In his current state, he may lose his life very easily due to a mountain bandit or a ronin while going out to Kang Ho.

No, in the first place this situation was impossible because Hua Sect was taking surveillance with this in mind.

‘How many times have I thought on how I could contact the Supreme Doctor… Is there no other way?’

There was nothing he could do even if he thought about all the things that would happen in the future because of the situation he was in. He got angry at that helplessness.

Ju Seo Cheon got a hold of himself and calmed his rage and then spun his brain desperately to think of another method.

‘Is there nothing like a pill that the Supreme Doctor made?’

The Supreme Doctor stood at the peak of the medicinal arts and Pharmaceutical skills were also included in it.

On top of that, the price of those pills soared at a mouth dropping price. It was obvious because it was medicine from a Supreme Doctor.

It was one of the things you couldn’t obtain even if you had money.

It wasn’t that he had a lot of money either so this was also impossible.

‘Wait, there’s no need for it to be a pill made by a Supreme Doctor!’

Ju Seo Cheon slapped his knees and stood up.

‘There is the Miraculous Medicine!’

The miraculous medicine was a medicine that contained the qi or essence of nature and brought an enhancement to the internal energy of martial artists.

However it was only a ‘medicine’ in the first place and not a means to increase your boundary or get stronger so it was used as curing as its objective.

‘Why couldn’t I think of this earlier!?’

Ju Seo Cheon hit his head and blamed his own stupidity. He was taking a roundabout way while having a shortcut.

‘Let’s see, there were some miraculous medicines that have been discovered.’

He reorganized his memories of the past.

There were about three to four of them.

And one of them was close to Mount Hua.

‘The Water Spirit Deity Fruit!’

That would be discovered about twenty years later.

At the age of war.

Some ronin suffered fatal injuries in the middle of war and then fell to the river while fleeing and got swept by the fast torrents.

But that ronin rode on the torrents and arrived at an underwater cave that no one knew about and experienced a strange fate.

There was a tree growing inside the cave, mysteriously enough, and the fruit that came out from that tree was the Water Spirit Deity Fruit.

When the ronin took in the Water Spirit Deity Fruit, his internal energy increased greatly and thanks to that he climbed to the level of a hundred generation expert.

It was really a mystery.

‘I’m glad, it is comparatively close too!’

The place the underwater cave was near a village called Zuo Yin, a little bit to the north of Mount Hua.

There was a river in the boundary of Shānsè where Mount Hua was located at and near that place was Hanam.

It was good because you were able to arrive at that place in less than a day if you rode on a horse constantly.

It seemed like this ronin of the past was the type to speak a lot because that place became so famous it later became a tourist destination.

There was a time when Mount Hua Sect examined all the nearby rivers and caves in case there was another spirit deity fruit. Thanks to that Ju Seo Cheon knew about it in detail.

It was an obvious thing but they did discover a few caves after the examination and couldn’t even find a tree.

‘It is a miraculous medicine that turned a third rate ronin into a hundred generation expert. There are plenty of possibilities.’

Moreover, it is said that after that Ronin took in that miraculous medicine, he obtained an incredible internal energy in his hands.

He didn’t doubt that with that much energy he would be able to suppress Yu Jong Mok’s disease with the internal energy and solve it.

“Ha, I got blinded by the treasury of the Three Eyed Immoral God until now. I should have a broader mind from now on.”

Ju Seo Cheon reflected on himself.

‘Master said that he would participate in the periodical assembly after one week, so that will be my opportunity.’

The periodical assembly took about three to five days. That much time was enough. This was his opportunity.
