Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Chapter 411

The voice that reached his ears was a welcome one, yet Jeong Yeon-shin turned his head very, very slowly.

"Truly, alcohol is the greatest of all poisons."

That was true in both body and mind.

Some martial artists, in their reckless attempts to refine their Upper Dantian, had dared to stir their brains with internal energy—only to lose their sanity or even die.

Right now, his skull felt like it was splitting apart, yet no proper remedy came to mind.

Had he expelled the alcohol through his Qi the night before, it might have been a different story.

But the liquor that had swollen the veins in his head overnight was beyond his control now—just like the pressure throbbing in his Baihui Acupoint.

This was his own doing. He had willfully refrained from expelling the poison from his system.

"Hey! Jeong Yeon-shin! I barely caught up to you!"

A boy dressed in a plum-embroidered daoist robe came sprinting toward him from a distance.

With each step, he closed the distance effortlessly, yet left no footprints behind—nor a single sound.

Hwasan Sect’s movement technique—Hidden Fragrance Drift.

Over his shoulder, two more plum-blossom swordsmen had come to a stop.

Yeon-shin barely flinched at the sight of them.

Unlike himself, Yu Hyeon, first disciple of Hwasan Sect, was shorter-limbed and appeared quite the proper young Daoist.

Much like that old immortal from Wudang who had suddenly clashed with him yesterday.

"Were you planning to leave without saying goodbye? We still have things to talk about."

"We’ll see each other again. What’s there to say?"

*"The Huashan Agreement. When you invoked it, you mentioned Singeom Squad Commander Yong Hui-myeong as the Purple-Rank warrior representing Ipwang Fortress.

But that’s changed now.

Yong Hui-myeong only inherited the One Mind Sword, nothing else.

You, on the other hand, are the bloodline of the Huashan Agreement’s central figure.

That means you’re stepping onto that battlefield, aren’t you?"*

Having caught his breath upon reaching the guesthouse, Yu Hyeon posed the question.

Yeon-shin slowly nodded.

"Of course, I am."

*"I figured as much. You might even end up facing my master.

He's spoken about you quite a bit, after all.

Though… I have no idea yet how the Nine Great Sects will decide their lineup."*
