The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 466

The Divine Doctor of Mount Hua (466)

“Thanks to your and your husband’s efforts, the Central Plains has found peace. I sincerely thank you both for your noble intentions.”

Wang So-gun bowed politely, a bright smile accompanying Dan Ahk-seon’s telepathic message.

In truth, she felt more nervous than ever meeting Dan Ahk-seon.

He was one of the few who knew her secret.

Not many knew the extent of her help to Je Gal-san within the Demonic Cult.

Only she, Je Gal-san, the old woman who aided her, and Yeon Ok-sang, the Palace Master of Ewha Palace, knew.

And Dan Ahk-seon.

However, the old woman had recently passed away from old age, and the Ewha Palace Master had retreated from the *jianghu* [martial world], no longer appearing in public.

So now, only she, her husband, and Dan Ahk-seon knew about her past.

After her return to the Je Gal Clan, Je Gal-san had meticulously guarded her secret.

When he announced his intention to marry her, the family elders, including his father, Je Gal-kyung, were displeased.

Je Gal-san was already destined to be the next head of the family.

As with most prestigious families, the head’s spouse held a significant role.

The process of her, a blind and deaf woman, being accepted as the family matriarch was truly arduous.

However, Je Gal-san ultimately asserted his will.

He declared that if the family didn’t accept her, who had saved his life, he would leave the clan himself.

Although the atmosphere had improved considerably, some still grumbled about Wang So-gun not fully fulfilling her duties as the head’s wife.

Some family elders occasionally urged him to take a concubine.

Wang So-gun was an intelligent woman.

Even without sight or hearing, she sensed the family’s mood.

Well aware of her position, she felt even more grateful for Dan Ahk-seon’s words.

But then…

“……!”

Wang So-gun flinched at Dan Ahk-seon’s telepathic message and froze.

Then, she rapidly began to communicate in sign language.

Je Gal-san was taken aback by her agitation.

It was rare to see her so disturbed.

“My wife is asking if what you’re saying is true. What are you talking about?”

Dan Ahk-seon smiled serenely at Je Gal-san’s question.

“I was too preoccupied then to properly thank your wife for her dedication. I thought I should repay her for that time, even if belatedly.”

“If you mean to repay us?”

“There is a way to replace the invisible eyes and inaudible ears.”

“……!”

“If you overcome the physical limitations, daily life will pose no major problems.”

“Is that truly possible?”

It was not without reason that the Je Gal Clan was called the Divine Machine Je Gal.

Throughout the family’s history, they had accumulated extensive knowledge, data, and experience in various fields.

Vast wisdom encompassing poetry, calligraphy, music, painting, architecture, divination, and medicine.

That was why they were called *Mucheonjongsik*, or the headquarter of the wise, and no one in the current *jianghu* dared to treat the Je Gal Clan lightly.

In particular, the medical skills rooted in the Je Gal Clan had a significant impact on medicine in the Central Plains.

As such, Je Gal-san had strived harder than anyone to find a way to overcome his wife’s disability.

However, despite his efforts, the results were negligible.

Dan Ahk-seon smiled and nodded.

“It’s true.”

Je Gal-san couldn’t help but be surprised by Dan Ahk-seon’s explanation.

“Just as Hua Tuo [a famous ancient Chinese physician] created the Five Animal Play [a form of Qigong], medicine and martial arts share the same roots when you trace their origins.”

As many internal energy cultivation methods existed in *jianghu*, the training methods also varied widely.

However, their common goal was clear.

It was to be reborn into a superhuman spirit and body beyond existing limitations and to transcend to a higher realm.

“And the sects rooted in Taoism spearheaded this.”

They trained in their own ways.

The Yeondan School aimed to create elixirs of immortality.

The Changsheng School sought eternal life through yin-yang harmony or bedroom arts.

The Yeongi School trained in abdominal breathing and Taoist magic.

“Most existing Taoist sects belong to the Yeongi School. The elixirs they produce are influenced by the Yeondan School.”

“If it’s about compensating for disabilities through martial arts…”

Disappointment clouded Je Gal-san’s face.

The so-called masters could manipulate *qi* [vital energy] and, through this, attain extrasensory perception beyond the five senses.

But reaching that level was extremely difficult.

Besides, it was too late for her to begin martial arts training.

So he remained skeptical.

However, Dan Ahk-seon shook her head.

“It’s not martial arts.”

“Then?”

“If you expand the existing senses, you can adequately replace the eyes and ears through surrounding information and resonance.”

Je Gal-san couldn’t hide his astonishment at Dan Ahk-seon’s words.

“If you apply the secrets that existed in the Burok School in the past, it’s not impossible.”

“Burok School, you mean?”

Come to think of it, in ancient primitive Taoism, there was one more sect besides the previous three.

It was a sect that worshiped ghosts or spirits of mountains and rivers and controlled evil spirits with spells and amulets.

“They dedicated years to researching how to overcome the limitations of the five human senses. That’s how they could see what they couldn’t see and hear what they couldn’t hear.”

Je Gal-san suddenly recalled data he had read in old documents.

“But as a result, I heard that most of them went mad or committed suicide…”

Dan Ahk-seon nodded.

That was why the Burok School had virtually disappeared, with only some forms of divination and exorcism maintaining its lineage.

“There’s a limit to what human sensory organs and nerves can handle. If a vast amount of information beyond that limit floods in, the spirit collapses because it can’t withstand the overload.”

Je Gal-san was even more confused by Dan Ahk-seon’s explanation.

Then he couldn’t risk such a dangerous method.

However, he couldn’t help but exclaim at Dan Ahk-seon’s subsequent explanation.

“Don’t worry. The sense that is expanded is only the sense of *qi*.”

The absence of sight and hearing.

There was ample room to compensate for the limitations of information reception.

Even if one sense is maximized, there’s no need to worry about the risk of sensory information overload.

It was then that Wang So-gun was diligently signing to Je Gal-san.

“There is only one thing you need. This is not an easy task.”

“Please tell me.”

“You have to take the elixir steadily. Until the expanded senses become familiar and settle down. Since you don’t practice martial arts, there will be significant loss, so you must not skip a day.”

“I’ll take care of that.”

“Yes. The Je Gal Clan will be able to manage it. Then I’ll write you a prescription separately, so please take it exactly as prescribed.”

Before receiving the writing tools, Dan Ahk-seon looked at Wang So-gun.

Wang So-gun’s resolve, despite not knowing about the elixir, was firm.

She, who had lived embracing darkness and silence for so long, saw Dan Ahk-seon’s proposal as her only hope.

Je Gal-san, confirming this, bowed to Dan Ahk-seon.

“Then I’ll ask you for this favor.”

Dan Ahk-seon, answering with a smile, already held a wooden case containing needles in her hand.

Dan Ahk-seon began to insert needles into various acupoints on Wang So-gun’s body.

And before placing each needle, she lightly tapped the area with her finger to prevent her from being startled.

After that, he circulated Wihwa Divine Art and channeled it through her meridians.

Wang So-gun paused as unfamiliar true energy permeated her body.

But she soon made a comfortable expression at Dan Ahk-seon’s telepathic message.

-Don’t be nervous, and try to focus your consciousness on the expanding senses.

As Wang So-gun regained her composure with a few deep breaths, Dan Ahk-seon began to guide the true energy in earnest.

The energy slowly moved along the meridians, lingered at the Yongcheon acupoint near the soles of her feet through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and then spread to all her limbs.

Then, in an instant, it gathered near the Misim acupoint where her upper *dantian* [energy center] was located.

At that moment.

“……!”

Wang So-gun’s expression changed.

An unfamiliar sensation that defied description began to flood her consciousness.

“Ah!”

An exclamation escaped Wang So-gun’s lips.

An unprecedented sensation that she had never experienced before.

Even the vibrations and subtle air currents felt through the skin of her whole body.

The vast amount of information obtained through this allowed her to grasp the surrounding environment in detail.

Her cheeks, unable to contain her excitement, were constantly streaked with hot tears.

Her tightly clasped hands were also trembling.

Je Gal-san hurriedly spoke.

“Madam! Are you alright?”

He was so flustered that he forgot to communicate telepathically.

But surprisingly, Wang So-gun nodded.

She raised her hand and signed.

Je Gal-san was surprised and asked back.

“Did you just hear my voice?”

Not only that.

-You, Father, and our Myeong-i look like this.

Je Gal-san was speechless for a moment at her subsequent sign language.

Dan Ahk-seon nodded to him.

“To be exact, it would be more accurate to say she feels it. Although she can’t distinguish colors, she can grasp the outline and shape of objects through atmospheric vibrations and flows.”

But then.

Wang So-gun staggered.

Je Gal-san, quickly supporting her, looked at Dan Ahk-seon with a surprised expression.

His wife’s face was pale, and cold sweat poured down like rain.

“Why is she like this?”

“It’s because of fatigue. The amount of information rushing in has increased rapidly. It’s still an unfamiliar sensation, so she needs time to adapt. Until then, she has no choice but to endure it.”

Even in her disoriented state, Wang So-gun thanked Dan Ahk-seon.

She was about to give a deep bow with the utmost courtesy, but Dan Ahk-seon stopped her.

“As I said before, I’m just repaying you, so you don’t have to do that.”

Wang So-gun, nodding with a smile, approached Je Gal-kyung, who was holding her grandson.

Je Gal-kyung smiled and nodded at her sign language.

“Go ahead.”

Je Gal-kyung handed her grandson to her daughter-in-law.

Je Gal-kyung was also overwhelmed with emotion at this moment.

Just seeing her daughter-in-law naturally receive the child without awkwardness, as if she could see with her own eyes, filled her heart.

After gazing at the child in her arms for a while.

Tears dripped from Wang So-gun’s eyes again.

She was overcome with emotion at finally being able to see her child’s face.
