Chapter 53 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 53

On Heavenly Road Mountain, under a cloud of black smoke, Yeon So-wol investigates the skeletal remains of the Heavenly Demon Cult's Fourth Elder, Gu Ma-un, and the Shaolin monk Beop-yeon. He deduces they fought over a Greater Rejuvenation Pill and notes the faint, muddled scent of tracking incense, prompting him to descend toward Shinheung County. In the county, martial artists circulate exaggerated rumors that Yeon So-wol has reached the 'first-rate' realm, a belief Yeon So-wol finds troubling but cannot immediately refute. Yeon So-wol returns to Yi Yu-baek’s residence, bearing a wooden box containing the Greater Rejuvenation Pill, which he obtained from a dead monk. He presents it to Yi Yu-baek, intending for his master to use it to heal his internal injuries. However, Yi Yu-baek reveals he already knew the box’s contents, having spotted the pill’s unique divine energy while tending to Yeon So-wol after his battle with the Golden Powder Gang. Yi Yu-baek refuses the pill, instead opening a chest to reveal five human-shaped ginseng roots harvested from the battlefield. He proposes a joint consumption plan: he and Yeon So-wol will each take one root to advance toward first-rate status, while the remaining three go to the Severing Sword Sect disciples, Kang Mu-hyeok, Seon Je-hun, and Mo Cheong, as compensation for their losses in the recent conflict. Yi Yu-baek insists Yeon So-wol must take the ginseng now to meet the expectations of the Jianghu, arguing that if Yeon So-wol does not actively change the world, the world will crush him. Convinced by this necessity for strength and survival, Yeon So-wol accepts the ginseng. The chapter concludes with Yi Yu-baek asking if Yeon So-wol is ready for closed-door seclusion, leaving the young hero trembling with apprehension and newfound determination.
