Chapter 613: Daoist Yin-Yang Manual[R-18] (158)
I set Shim Ye-ryeong, who had finished spawning, down on the floor.
‘Bloodline Awakening allows me to create the offspring of any species I desire.’
At first, I thought it was only possible with living creatures. But I was wrong. I could even impregnate things that weren't alive.
This was the result of an experiment I’d conducted while raping ordinary women over the past few days. I'd only tried it as a joke, wanting to mimic a spawning show, but it had actually succeeded.
Normally, a pregnancy develops over several days as the belly slowly grows, but this was different. Her belly swelled up in an instant, and she immediately gave birth, as if laying eggs.
‘This isn't an ordinary stone.’
What I held in my hand was no simple rock. It was a crystallized form of condensed life force. How I would use it was something to consider later.
I picked up the orbs Shim Ye-ryeong had expelled one by one and stored them in my inventory.
“Heueung…”
Drained of all strength, Shim Ye-ryeong could only let out weak moans.
Just then, Seo Ryeo-hwa asked me, “Honey, what should we do with the man?”
“His dick is small enough as it is. It'd be pathetic if he died here. Let him live.”
“Wow… This is amazing every time I see it.”
Bi-yeon, having picked one up at some point, was rolling a white orb around on her palm. Steam rose from the warm orb, fresh from the womb.
“Put that down and pick the pubes off your lips.”
“Hey! They’re yours, so you should get them off.”
“Fuck off, you bitch!”
“They’re yours! You get them off! Oh, while you’re at it, maybe you could kiss them off?”
“Get lost! Don’t touch me! I’ll fucking kill you, you hear?!”
Seo Ryeo-hwa sighed as she watched the scene unfold.
“Good grief… You’re not children…”
After finally escaping Bi-yeon’s clutches, I crouched down in front of Shim Ye-ryeong.
“Hmm, she’s completely out of it.”
I took out the holy water I had stored in the Yong-Oh-Pae worldview from my inventory and brought it to Shim Ye-ryeong’s lips. There was a simple reason I was wasting this precious holy water on a disposable onahole.
‘It’s a kind of spy.’
I had deliberately left traces of my presence nearby. If Oh Ha-rang found this place, she would surely take care of Shim Ye-ryeong, who had been violated by the lecher.
If I stayed here for a few more days and turned Shim Ye-ryeong completely into my cocksleeve, she would become the perfect spy and lure Oh Ha-rang to me.

Our party arrived in Nanjing. Mak Ri-chu took out the item he had hidden and placed it on the table. It was a well-preserved bamboo slip.
“So… what’s inside this bamboo slip?”
“A treasure map.”
“……!”
What Mak Ri-chu had stolen from Oh Jin-nyeo, the first sect leader of the Sochumyeolsalmun, after raping her was none other than a treasure map.
The kind that, the moment it was discovered, would unleash a storm of blood, a source of trouble that countless martial artists would risk their lives to pursue.
Seo Ryeo-hwa took a shallow breath and said, “A treasure map… To think Mak Ri-chu had it. That’s truly surprising.”
I let out a smirk.
“The fool didn’t know how to open it, so he had no idea this bamboo slip was a treasure map.”
On the outside, it looked like an ordinary bamboo slip. But if you simply tried to open it, it would never yield. I focused my qi into my fingertips, stroking the surface as I continued my explanation.
“Watch closely. If you peel off the outer layer of the slip—”
Scrape.
As a thin layer peeled away, a meticulously engraved metal plate was revealed underneath. A small, wheel-like device was attached to it, glinting faintly in the light.
“It’s a device called a number wheel.”
Seo Ryeo-hwa and Bi-yeon leaned in at the same time.
I slowly turned the wheel. It made a rhythmic ‘click, clack’ sound.
“If you turn this and match the four-digit number—”
Click.
With a crisp sound, the lock on the bamboo slip released, and the lid opened. A faint metallic sheen emanated from within.
“Wow… that’s incredible. This container itself isn’t just some ordinary thing, is it?”
“This bamboo slip is a treasure in itself. It’s made of Meteorite Iron.”
“What?! Meteorite Iron?!”
Bi-yeon’s jaw dropped, and she half-rose from her seat.
“Damn, they used something that precious just to make a bamboo slip?”
Seo Ryeo-hwa also gasped in surprise.
“Meteorite Iron… Isn’t that a metal only heard of in legends? The kind that’s said to come only from fragments of stars that fall from the sky…”
Of course, the amount in this small bamboo slip wasn’t even enough to forge a single sword.
“The treasure map says there are several more chunks of Meteorite Iron at the location it marks.”
“My goodness…”
Even among rare metals, Meteorite Iron was the stuff of legends. The fact that there were ‘several chunks’ of it left even her unable to hide her astonishment.
Bi-yeon leaned right over the table, her face close to mine.
“Hey, let’s go right now! Now! I want a Meteorite Iron sword!”
“Save the excitement for later.”
I pushed her away by pressing a finger to her forehead.
Seo Ryeo-hwa quietly examined the map taken from the bamboo slip.
“The location… is on Mosan Mountain.”
“That’s right. That’s why we came to Nanjing. Mosan Mountain is right next door.”
Bi-yeon’s eyes sparkled as she tilted her head.
“But is there anything else besides the Meteorite Iron?”
“A few elixirs, and some old martial arts books, maybe?”
“So besides the Meteorite Iron, there’s nothing amazing?”
“Right. That’s why we’ll take only the Meteorite Iron, leave the rest, and spread rumors throughout the Central Plains.”
“Why? We could just take it all for ourselves. We could even use it as a hidden safe house when we need it.”
Lately, Bi-yeon has been deliberately refraining from reading my thoughts. That’s why she doesn’t know my plan and has to ask.
Just then, Seo Ryeo-hwa interjected, “You intend to use the symbolic value of the treasure map.”
“Exactly. There’s nothing special inside, but I’m the only one who knows that. But what if a rumor spreads that this is a treasure map leading to a legendary secret manual?”
Countless bloody battles had been fought over treasure maps since ancient times. Even righteous sects would shed blood to be the first to claim one, sometimes leading to the annihilation of entire sects.
“…Martial artists will flock to claim the treasure, and the various factions will clash with one another.”
“Aha! So you’re going to use it as bait to shake up the entire Murim?”
“That’s right. There’s no shortage of fools who would risk their lives for a single treasure.”
My gaze fell upon the treasure map. The red, star-shaped mark on it looked like an ember fanning the flames of greed.
To a martial artist, advancing their realm was a desire more precious than life itself. For the sake of not just personal glory but also the prosperity of their family and sect, they wouldn’t care if dozens, or even hundreds, of lives were burned away.
‘And in the midst of that chaos… I’ll just have to take more for myself.’
Not long after leaving the Hwangbo Clan, I gave in to Bi-yeon’s nagging and took a short break back in the real world. While I was bored, I decided to review the lore and content of the Daoist Yin-Yang Manual, and that proved to be decisive.
The trail of the lecher named Mak Ri-chu, and the truth about the treasure map he possessed.
If I had charged in without knowing this, poking around here and there under the pretext of the Righteous-Demonic War, I would have gone through hell for nothing.
‘I’ll make the factions eat away at their own strength… and in that chaos, the Honcheonhoe will slyly rear its head.’
“Honey, when do you plan on going to Mosan Mountain?”
At Seo Ryeo-hwa’s question, I shook my head.
“Even if we go, we can’t get in right away. We need one more key.”
One was the bamboo slip made of Meteorite Iron. The other was the bloodline of the craftsman who built the secret vault hidden on Mosan Mountain.
‘The interesting thing is, that craftsman is the same person who created the Infinite Ring Bewildering Array.’
At first, I thought Muyeongshintoo had made it. But thanks to someone on the community forums who had compiled the lore of the Daoist Yin-Yang Manual, I learned that there was a different creator.
His name was Chu Yeon, the Heavenly Craftsman. He was recorded in later generations as a legendary artisan who left behind countless secret treasures and weapons.
‘The woman who inherited Chu Yeon’s bloodline is Oh Jin-nyeo. And her daughter, Oh Ha-rang, is the key.’
The Sochumyeolsalmun, which Oh Ha-rang belonged to, was a sect that considered lechers their natural enemy. So, they were bound to make a move to catch me. In the beginning, I deliberately left obvious traces for her to follow easily.
By now, she would have noticed the trail has gone cold and be searching somewhere in this vicinity, tracking my movements. And when she finds Shim Ye-ryeong, she’ll soon be after me and my women.
‘Besides, the women of the Sochumyeolsalmun stand out so much, it’s only a matter of time before rumors spread.’
I had already instructed the Haomun to track the movements of the Sochumyeolsalmun. Now, all I had to do was wait.
“Alright, for the last stop, let’s go to the Mosan Sect.”
*
The pursuit squad split into three teams, chasing the lecher in three different directions.
Mo-yong Yeon-ah and Bang Na-yun ended up in the same team.
“Miss Bang, what are your hobbies?”
Mo-yong Yeon-ah chattered away endlessly beside her. It was getting on her nerves.
Bang Na-yun sighed inwardly.
‘Haa… Can’t you please just leave me alone?’
She wanted to ignore her, but she couldn’t. The other party was from the Mo-yong Clan. A family one had to be careful around.
Still, having Mo-yong Yeon-ah around did have the benefit of warding off annoying men, which was some consolation.
On the surface, she appeared kind and affectionate to everyone. But Bang Na-yun could see it clearly. She was subtly keeping men at a distance.
‘She acts like a fox… but strangely, she despises men.’
Mo-yong Yeon-ah whispered quietly.
“Miss Bang, when we get to Hefei, shall we look around the market together? Just think of it as girls bonding… What do you say?”
“Umm, considering our mission… don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate?”
When Bang Na-yun immediately refused, Mo-yong Yeon-ah pouted.
“Come on, we haven’t washed properly in days and have been camping on the road. As women, we need to take care of our skin and tidy ourselves up.”
It sounded like a lighthearted joke, but something else caught Bang Na-yun’s ear.
‘Ah, I want to wash too…’
Honestly, that part resonated with her the most. After days of camping, caked in sweat and dust, she felt like she could jump into water at any moment.
Bang Na-yun was a young woman, after all. Even as a martial artist who wielded a sword, she wasn’t indifferent to her appearance. Taking care of her skin was one of her small luxuries.
‘Come to think of it… Miss Mo-yong’s skin has always been so fine.’
Even though they had camped together and suffered the same hardships, her skin was strangely smooth. She even gave off a faint, pleasant scent, making Bang Na-yun feel a pang of envy.
“You’re concerned too, aren’t you, Miss Bang? I know an herb shop that’s really good for women.”
Good for women was the same as good for the skin. Bang Na-yun pretended to be indifferent, but honestly, she was tempted. After days of forced marching without a proper wash, it was impossible not to be interested.
“…Alright.”
As soon as Bang Na-yun agreed, a bright smile spread across Mo-yong Yeon-ah’s face. Without hesitation, she reached out and linked her arm with Bang Na-yun’s.
“Ah—”
Startled, Bang Na-yun tried to pull her arm away, but Mo-yong Yeon-ah’s grip was surprisingly strong. She looked delicate, but she was unexpectedly firm.
“Miss Bang, then let’s sleep in my tent tonight. We can talk and decide where to go beforehand.”
Bang Na-yun flinched. Sleep in her tent together? The way she so naturally closed the distance felt unfamiliar, and her body stiffened.
‘Ugh… This woman, why is she so forward?’
At that same time, the Sochumyeolsalmun, led by Oh Ha-rang, had arrived in the Jiangsu region and was tracking the lecher’s trail.
There wasn’t a single man in Oh Ha-rang’s team. The female warriors of the Sochumyeolsalmun had declared that they would “never work with the likes of men.” As a result, only female warriors from the pursuit squad had been selected to join them.
During a short break, a woman from the Sochumyeolsalmun, sitting in a formal posture, addressed the female warriors of the pursuit squad.
“Everyone, remember this. The species known as man is an untrustworthy lot. Even if they aren’t lechers, their fundamental nature is no different.”
The woman next to her nodded and immediately added, “That’s right. A lecher violates women by force, but do you think the men of the righteous sects are any different? In the end, isn’t their true nature to possess a woman’s body in the name of marriage and use her as a seed-bearer?”
“Indeed! It is only the method that differs.”
“Therefore, we as women must protect other women. Not anyone else, but us.”
As the solemn declaration echoed, the female warriors of the pursuit squad exchanged awkward glances.
‘But… Gaga is a good person…’
‘My senior brother would never be like that…’
They were flustered on the inside, but the atmosphere was too serious to dare object. Instead, one or two of them pretended to nod along to fit in.
Then, a woman from the Sochumyeolsalmun group’s eyes widened as she shouted.
“All men are potential lechers! They are a species born with only the instinct to sow their seed!”
“Hear, hear! For a world without seed-bearers!”
“For a Murim of women only!”
They all clasped their hands together and shouted toward the sky.
“Everyone! Today, we shall once again recite the Ten Precepts for Male Extermination!”
“First, all men are potential lechers!”
“Second, the phallus is a sin!”
“Third, subjugating lechers is not justice, but a duty!”
“Fourth, a Murim without men is the only true world!”
Their voices echoed, shaking the mountains. However, a few of the female warriors from the pursuit squad could only force a smile and nod along.
‘Ugh, I think I’m going crazy…’
Far off, a woman in red clothes sat silently in the lotus position.
“Senior Sister.”
A female warrior approached with silent footsteps and lowered her body.
“The reconnaissance team has found a trace.”
At that moment—
Swoosh.
Oh Ha-rang’s eyes slowly opened.
“Where?”
“A cabin in the mountains. A couple lived there… It seems the lecher has already gotten to them. Our junior sisters are protecting the woman now.”
