Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 61

61

Chapter 61

“Daddy! Like this?”

“Huh? Uh……”

“Hehe━ Martial arts is fun!”

“……”

Can the heart of a parent who recognizes their child’s talent be described?

To be sure, it cannot be described.

I’m overjoyed because she’s doing well, but I’m also worried about whether I should raise my child as a martial artist. And if I don’t teach her, her talent will be wasted……

Raising a child.

And teaching my child directly is such a difficult task.

However, there’s no denying that teaching So-yun is enjoyable.

First of all, I feel a sense of satisfaction that I, a bad father, can do something for her. Also, I am a martial arts instructor who is second to none.

That’s right.

I am the greatest assassin of all time and the greatest martial arts instructor of all time.

No kidding, the Dongdong brothers whom I’ve taught, especially Il-dong, have recently improved dramatically to the point where they are sometimes quite reliable.

I guess Il-dong’s current level is enough to subdue the third-generation kids of prestigious righteous sects depending on the situation, and he can hold his own even if he spars with most second-generation disciples.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I used my pride as the best instructor to teach So-yun martial arts with a broad perspective and a generous heart.

First, I made her memorize the Great Whale Heart Technique for half a day, and I also taught her some stances of the Six Harmony Fist.

Surprisingly, So-yun’s absorption rate was jaw-dropping.

‘Hmm…… Even if So-yun is a genius, this is too fast.’

Then suddenly……

I remembered that So-yun was currently taking”So-yun Elixir.”

‘Master Dongbyeok is amazing. To accumulate such spiritual energy in the body without the slightest side effect……’

In my previous life, I also took quite a few elixirs, but I’ve never seen an elixir as useful in various aspects as the”So-yun Elixir.”

Although it may not have the explosive internal energy-boosting effects of the Shaolin Great Revolving Elixir, the”So-yun Elixir”is an excellent elixir that, when taken for a long time, is good for health preservation, internal energy enhancement, and also helps smooth the flow of internal energy in the body.

“So-yun. Can you practice the Six Harmony Fist alone for a while?”

“Huh? Why, Daddy?”

“Daddy will go to Grandpa for a bit.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps……

It’s better to share good things, right?

First, I need to get an estimate.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Elder.”

“Sect Leader. What brings you to the Medical Hall?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Speak.”

“By any chance…… Do you know how much it costs to make the So-yun Elixir?”

“Hmm…… It doesn’t cost much to make the So-yun Elixir. Of course, to make an elixir with that level of effect, you need to use rare ingredients, but who am I? Although I’m not a master of alchemy, I’m a medical scholar who once wrote the ‘Compendium of Materia Medica,’ which covers all medicinal herbs. The So-yun Elixir was originally created for So-yun’s health, so it doesn’t cost much to make. At most, the price of a dose of deer antlers from a pharmacy is enough.”

“I don’t think the price of a dose of deer antlers is that cheap.”

“Oh! Sect Leader. You seem to be a layman in that area. Elixirs are originally very expensive. Try buying one of Mount Hua’s Purple Glow Elixir or Wudang’s Supreme Clarity Elixir from the black market. You’ll probably have to pay the price of a tiled house in Dongcheon, where land is expensive.”

“……Well, that’s true. But……”

“But what? Is it that my ‘So-yun Elixir’ is far inferior to the Purple Glow Elixir or Supreme Clarity Elixir, but the price is expensive? Is that it?”

“No. It’s just that if it costs the price of a dose of deer antlers per pill, I calculated that it wouldn’t be a small amount in the long run if the disciples were to take it frequently……”

“Huh! Man, which sect gives elixirs to its disciples frequently?”

“……Is that so?”

“What are you talking about? Sometimes, you’re really…… You’re so naive.”

I apologize.

I used to eat them like meals in my previous life……

“Anyway, Elder. Then please mass-produce the So-yun Elixir.”

“Hmm…… Sect Leader. For your information, the So-yun Elixir only shows its effects when taken for a long time. It’s cheap to make, but taking it once won’t explosively increase your internal energy like the Small Revolving Elixir.”

“I know.”

“Then continuous production needs to be done, but can you handle it financially? I can make it for So-yun for the rest of her life, but it won’t be cheap to give it to 20 disciples regularly.”

“……I’ll try to figure out how to make money somehow. Elder, just take care of the production.”

“Alright. Then I’ll try to figure out how to lighten your wallet.”

“Ah…… Elder?”

“Haha. Why? Don’t you believe me? I don’t have a desire for material things, but if I set my mind to making money, I can make a fortune.”

“Are you thinking of treating outsiders?”

“How much money would I make from treating them? I can’t rip off poor commoners by treating them.”

“Then?”

“Have you forgotten?”

“……”

“I am a master of cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery.”

“Ah!”

“Hahaha.”

Why……

Didn’t I think of this sooner?

Since I’ve spent most of the fortune I stole(?) from the Noh Family Assassin’s Guild on buying land near the Dawn Heaven Sect and building annexes, I was wondering how to make money……

I was grateful that Master Dongbyeok made such a suggestion first.

“Elder. Are you sure it’s okay to make money by performing such sorcery? I’m fine with it, but……”

“Oh, man! Why is cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery sorcery? It’s also a proper medical practice. There’s no better medical practice for those who suffer from being born with an ugly face. However, the cost of the procedure is not cheap, so you should try to find rich ladies from Chang’an or daughters of high-ranking officials as your…… No, customers.”

“Did you just say ‘suckers’?”

“What are you talking about?”

“So…… You just told me to find suckers, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I think he’s right.”

“Get out.”

“I think he’s right……”

“Get out!”

“Yes.”

I bowed and immediately left the Medical Hall.

Because I felt like I would get hit on the head with a pipe if I provoked Master Dongbyeok any further.

But……

They say you can know the depth of ten feet of water, but you can’t know the heart of a person.

Master Dongbyeok had that side to him too.

I realize it again, but that man is the epitome of versatility, a living explorer of all things, a frontrunner in knowledge and wisdom, and a”problem solver”who can come up with a plan in any situation.

Sigh……

What would I have done if I hadn’t met Master Dongbyeok?

◈ ◈ ◈

A few days later━.

“Gentlemen.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

As usual, after finishing physical training on the top of Mount Guangyang and taking a break……

I spoke to the disciples in a dignified tone.

However, perhaps because the training was hard, they looked at me as if I were a stranger. They were too busy resting in the shade to even bother answering.

“Do you guys want extra training?”

I asked, intending to punish the disciples for their insolence, and they were momentarily startled and shook their heads.

“N, No, Sect Leader!”

“Why would you say such outrageous things?”

“Not at all!!!”

Then I chuckled and spoke again.

“Right. No? No, right? No matter how motivated you are, you’re human, so there’s no way that would happen, right?”

“O, Of course.”

“Are you saying that?”

“If you’re not crazy…… No, if you’re not out of your mind, there’s no way that would happen, haha……”

Is training that hard for them?

If it were me, I would be clamoring for more.

Anyway, you weaklings.

“Anyway. I, your Sect Leader, have prepared a gift for you hard-working gentlemen.”

At my words, the disciples’ faces began to turn pale.

Usually, when I said I had a gift, it was often because the gift would lead to”additional training.”

“Why are you guys scared when I say I’m giving you a gift?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“It’s an elixir.”

“???”

“???”

“???”

“I’m saying the gift I’m giving you is an elixir.”

Then,

“Huh?”

“E…… Elixir?”

“What do you mean, elixir?”

“Did you…… Steal it from Shaolin or something?”

Most of the ignorant disciples didn’t seem to understand yet, and Il-dong, Yi-dong, Sam-dong, and Yeon-u asked with expressions of disbelief.

“Steal from Shaolin? Are you kidding me? First, Sam-dong, you’re on my list.”

“……”

“It’s nothing else, but the Medical Hall Master has created a cost-effective elixir. The name of the elixir is So-yun Elixir, and So-yun has been taking it for over a month now. There are no side effects at all, and it’s a chance to cultivate pure and refined energy.”

“Ah!”

Murmur murmur━.

Only then did all the disciples understand what I was saying and buzzed with excitement.

Out of the blue, an elixir……

They probably think they’re dreaming, right?

“Sect Leader. Then why are you giving the elixir to the Vice Sect Leader and the leaders of the 1st and 2nd units, and also to us?”

Then, Seung-bok suddenly raised his hand and asked.

I nodded and answered.

“Of course. I am a true egalitarian who does not discriminate between executives and ordinary disciples, a fair and impartial leader, a man with an upright sense of judgment, and the Sect Leader of all of you.”

“……”

“So I’m giving the elixir to everyone.”

“Yay!”

“Sect Leader, you’re the best!”

“Sect Leader is the best!”

As soon as I finished answering, the disciples burst into cheers.

As expected……

Seeing them rejoice at the mention of the elixir, I think they’ve become true members of the Jianghu now.

Originally, the things that Jianghu people are most crazy about are”martial arts manuals”and”elixirs,”aren’t they?

“Of course. The So-yun Elixir is a cost-effective elixir, but that doesn’t mean it’s a cheap elixir. In other words, no matter how cheaply it can be manufactured, if I give it to all of you regularly, the foundation of the sect will crumble. So, be grateful and train with all your might. If I find anyone slacking off, I’ll ‘destroy’ them, so keep that in mind.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“It’s already h*ll, what’s there to be afraid of, Sect Leader.”

“Hehehe.”

“Huhuhu!”

“Hahaha!”

The impact of the”elixir”was so great that the disciples, who had become Pinocchio, suddenly erupted like an active volcano.

At that moment.

Yeon-u stealthily opened his mouth, squeezing through the gap in the excitement.

“……Brother.”

“Yeah, why?”

“By any chance…… Are you giving me that elixir too?”

“……”

“Hehe……”

“Are you laughing?”

“Ah……”

“You shameless bastard.”

“Huh?”

“You’re from a rich family, yet you’ve been eating, sleeping, pooping, and training at the Dawn Heaven Sect all this time. And during that time, you haven’t even given me a single copper coin, you shameless miser.”

“???”

“Conscienceless, shameless bastard, the greatest freeloader of all time.”

“W, What are you talking about? Really. I won’t take it, I won’t. Wow! Hahaha. This is so ridiculous that I can’t help but laugh. Brother! You? I didn’t think you were like this, but this is too much. Hey, I can buy that elixir with my own money, you know? Wow!”

Yeon-u, perhaps genuinely offended by my joke, expressed his embarrassment with a flushed face.

I giggled at the sight, and the disciples all burst into laughter.

“Why! Why are you laughing! Why are you all laughing!”

“Yeon-u.”

“What.”

“I was kidding, kidding.”

“Ah…… Don’t make jokes like that. I was about to be really offended.”

“But you know.”

“Huh?”

“You really can buy it with your own money, can’t you?”

“Ah……”

“Just kidding, kidding.”

“……Really.”

While enjoying the banter……

I spotted”Wooden Dummy”Noh Ho-yeong stealthily watching me from a corner.

“What are you looking at, Ho-yeong?”

“Ah…… Haha. Well, the thing is.”

“What? Tell me honestly. I won’t scold you.”

“……Really? Then that elixir, by any chance……”

“Shut up.”

“……”

Don’t push your luck.

Are you getting cocky again?

Elixir?

That guy is really crazy.

◈ ◈ ◈

The next day━.

A well-built middle-aged man, dressed in a bright red blood robe as if boasting”I’m from the Evil Faction!”, visited the Dawn Heaven Sect.

I instinctively……

Realized that he had come with hostility.

“Greetings.”

“Who are you?”

“Before that. Are you the Sect Leader of the Dawn Heaven Sect, Jin So-cheon?”

“That’s right.”

“I am Yuk Gwang, a Guardian Messenger of the Cult of the Evil Path.”

“Your name is Yuk Gwang?”

“That’s correct.”

“You bastard……”

“What?”

“Let’s go inside.”

“???”
