Chapter 45 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 45

Yi Yu-baek calls Yeon So-wol aside, assigning him to distribute gold, silk, rice, and alcohol to the families of the injured and killed inner disciples who had charged to save So-wol during the previous battle. Yi Yu-baek emphasizes the moral obligation to care for those left behind, countering rumors that Hang Inwoo is merely preparing a grand party. Meanwhile, Yeon So-wol feels uneasy about the secluded valley meeting and questions Kang Mu-hyeok about security. Mu-hyeok reveals that Master Yi Yu-baek has already taken half a Wound-Mending Pellet for his internal injuries and keeps the other half in reserve, alleviating So-wol's immediate concerns though not his suspicion. So-wol departs with porters, noting the quiet streets of Shinheung County as military personnel and conscripts are deployed for drills ahead of the campaign against Heavenly Road Mountain. As the group travels, Mo Cheong mentions Hang Inwoo’s discovery of several hundred-year-old Human-Shaped Ginseng roots, prompting Yi Yu-baek to scold him for his greed, reminding him of Hang Inwoo’s stinginess. Upon reaching the valley, the group is followed by a crowd of approximately forty spectators, including scholars, musicians, and idlers, who mistakenly believe Yi Yu-baek will receive the elixir. Yi Yu-baek attempts to dismiss them, citing the valley’s poisonous oleander plants, which successfully halts the crowd at a distance. The valley itself features a large pond surrounded by blooming oleanders, mistaken by some for peach blossoms. Hang Inwoo confronts the lingering spectators, ordering his gang members to drive them off. After the crowd is dispersed, Yi Yu-baek and Hang Inwoo sit together, with the White Dragon Gang leaders and Windflow disciples arranged around them. Following pleasant drinking, Hang Inwoo asks about Yi Yu-baek’s health. Upon hearing Yi Yu-baek claim he is dying and asking for the elixir, Hang Inwoo feigns offense at Yi Yu-baek’s presumptuous tone and the presence of the spectators, smiling enigmatically as the chapter ends.
