Kudzu can be eaten as it is like a guhwang crop, and it is widely used as a medicinal herb called Galgeun from the old days to the present.

But are there only good sides?

If you do, that’s not it either.

This is because they do not die easily because they are so tenacious, and other plants hardly grow in the vicinity because they suck up nutrients from the surrounding area as if monopolizing it.

In addition, the growth rate is also incredibly fast, so most of them are in clusters.

For this reason, it is a plant with such duality that it is designated as a harmful plant because it quickly swells and devastates the surrounding soil if left alone.

‘That’s about it.’

That’s why the places where kudzu is forming a colony are quite obvious than I thought.

Other plants are hard to see in the vicinity, or when you look at it from a distance, the bushes look thick at first glance, but the nearby trees seem to have no energy.

In particular, if you know how to express your feelings, the method becomes much easier. The energy of the nearby soil is relatively weak, but you can feel the bold vitality from the ground? In nine out of ten, it is a colony with a lot of kudzu roots.

‘Because the aura is so strong here, even kudzu can’t grow freely like that.’

In other words, instead of expanding the territory, it also meant that the amount of nutrients was piled up on the root.

Upon arriving at his destination, Kang Tae-han looked around and lightly exclaimed. Arrowroot vines grow thickly around the area. And under my feet, I could clearly feel the thick roots full of aura.

“First… Shall we take this guy out first?”

The one with the thickest stem located in the center.

It’s not always like that, but it’s always the case that the guy with the lower stem loses the lower one as well. Kang Tae-han held on to the appropriate part and stamped his feet a couple of times as if leveling the ground.

The roots of arrowroot go deep into the ground. In order to dig it up, of course, you have to dig up that much ground, which is bound to be a pretty tough job.

A shovel for digging, a pickaxe to break through blockages, a saw and sickle to cut arrowroot… It requires a lot of equipment, and even having all this is not an easy task.

However, at least now, it wasn’t that difficult for Kang Tae-han when there were no other people’s eyes.

“Hmm. Is it like this?”

Examine the energy of the earth and the state of the leylines, and place your feet at the center of gravity. Kang Tae-han lifted his foot slightly and rolled on the ground with power on his heel.

Gooong!

A heavy echo that spreads through the ground.

The surface of the earth vibrates as if it were a tightly pulled drum, and the soil that had been tightly packed inside was shaken and scattered into grains.

It is as if the nearby land is resonating with Kang Tae-han’s foot clouds.

And at that moment, Kang Tae-han grabbed the bottom stem of the kudzu and pulled it without hesitation. Then, arrowroots that looked bigger than most people were pulled out, scattering grains of soil.

“It’s bigger than I thought.”

A calm expression as if a radish had been plucked from the neighborhood.

However, the kudzu in his hand was so large that it looked menacing at first glance. Some of the roots were still stuck in the ground because they hadn’t been pulled out all at once.

Kang Tae-han, who was taking a quick look at the condition of the kudzu, raised his hand to shoulder height. Then, before long, a faint blue aura began to emanate from the blade of the hand.

As I started swinging my hand in that state, the unnecessary stems fell far away, and the roots that had been plucked out were cut to a certain length and fell to the floor.

The length fits snugly, as if it had been processed in a factory. After a while, the kudzu that had been trimmed and fell to the floor floated up into the air one by one and began to pile up in the corner of their own accord.

“The first harvest is fine.”

Kang Tae-han muttered as he pulled out the part that was still stuck in the ground. Even the things that had already been trimmed and piled up were enough to fill a backpack.

Normally, there is enough quantity that you don’t have to dig arrowroot any more. But today, the main purpose was to dig kudzu.

“I should have brought one or three backpacks in advance.”

Kang Tae-han muttered to himself as he moved the piled up kudzu into his backpack.

and after a while

Behind Kang Tae-han, who climbed back up and went back after digging arrowroot for the second time, four backpacks filled to the brim were packed at once.

Evening, when the sun is just going down.

Kang Tae-han sat in front of the campfire, closed his eyes, and was breathing slowly and slowly.

A state of concentrating on fortune-telling for the refinement of internal energy.

Judging by the fact that the flames of the bonfire in front of him were slowly fading, it seemed that quite some time had already passed in this state.

As time passed, Kang Tae-han’s closed eyes slowly opened and his breathing began to deepen.

“Whoa… … .”

A deep exhalation as if pulling up from the inside of the body.

He took five or six deep breaths, looked up at the sunset sky, and tossed a large piece of wood from the pile next to him into the fire.

“Now your inner strength is on its own track… … .”

After returning from Moorim to modern times, Kang Tae-han’s internal skills continued to grow, albeit little by little.

From the first day, I learned how to bring the dull vitality of the customer to the absorption method, and after securing the elixir, I have been eating the elixir almost every day and taking care of my energy.

Thanks to this, Danjeon now had a fairly plausible level of internal energy. Of course, it wasn’t comparable to Moorim’s days, but it could be said that the growth rate was several times, no, ten times faster than initially thought.

‘It’s become a lot easier to operate my energy.’

Internal energy accumulated in the danjeon is like water, so the deeper the inner energy accumulates, the less likely it is to be stained with takgi.

Just as a small puddle turns into muddy water with just a handful of soil, but a handful of soil thrown into a lake just sinks to the bottom.

Thanks to this, it didn’t take much of my energy to manage my inner energy on a daily basis or to enter a full-scale refinement process like today. This is because the purity of the internal air is already high enough.

“… The sky is very clear today.”

Was it like that?

Kang Tae-han, who had been staring blankly at the burning fire, suddenly looked up at the sky and smiled.

Unlike cities where light always shines out, the only light here is a small bonfire.

In addition, the dark night sky was open without a single cloud, and the appearance of the stars shining brightly was revealed as it was, creating a spectacular view.

Kang Tae-han took out a thermos bottle, poured a cup of coffee into a cup, and leaned against the back of the chair.

A chilly night breeze blowing through his coat.

A bonfire radiates soft light and warmth in front.

And above the sky is an endless sea of starlight.

You can’t taste the coffee you drink here.

Kang Tae-han took a sip of coffee from the cup. It cooled down a bit as time passed, but the taste was so good that it didn’t matter.

‘… I hope the weather will be nice next week too.’

Maybe it’s because it’s a wasteful sight to see alone?

Sitting still, he suddenly thought of Yoo Se-ah.

The day we went to Gapyeong and camped together.

At that time, I wanted to show you this kind of scenery and tell you the beauty of camping, but unfortunately it was raining so I couldn’t.

Listening to the rain in the tent had its own taste, and it was fortunate that she seemed satisfied, too… Still, it’s a pity that it’s a pity.

“I would have really liked it if we had seen this together.”

If so, how would she have laughed?

With that thought in mind, Kang Tae-han slowly emptied the coffee from the cup.

The next day, Thursday evening.

“Oh! Sir, welcome!”

When Kang Tae-han entered the room, a man greeted him first, and at the same time, the other four men who were present also got up from their seats.

“Are you here, sir?”

“You worked hard to come this far.”

And the men who say hello to each one. They were none other than the players of the Hanha Hawks, including Choi Tae-joon, Lee Kwang-ho, and Kim Tae-pyeong.

The players who all received a massage from Kang Tae-han and saw the effect. Maybe that’s why, there was no pretense in their voices when they greeted Kang Tae-han.

“Are you comfortable, why are you getting up?”

“Oh, how are we? You came with difficulty.”

Kim Tae-pyeong, who had greeted Kang Tae-han for the first time, shook his head and hand at the same time.

“Let’s see… here! Please have a seat at the head of the table.”

“Hey, Taiping! How is the place of honor there? The side where you can see the entrance is the upper seat. Sir, please sit over here.”

When Kim Tae-pyeong pointed to the seat on the other side of the seat of honor, Lee Kwang-ho lightly rebuked him and pointed to the seat of real honor.

“I will just sit here. It looks comfortable here.”

Kang Tae-han smiled and took a seat next to Choi Tae-joon. To be the chief of staff at a place like this, I had no intention of taking such a prominent position.

It was obvious, but this place today was not a place to gather for a massage. In the first place, unlike usual, the place where they are gathered now is not a baseball field.

Today’s seat is a casual drinking party among the players.

The season must have come to an end, and the grand dinners and gatherings at the club level came to an end, and in the midst of this, some players sympathized with Lee Kwang-ho’s words, ‘I really want to have a drink with Mr. Kang!’

“Well then… Let’s have a drink, sir.”

Apparently, he hadn’t even opened a bottle before Kang Tae-han arrived. Kang Tae-han lifted the glass, and Lee Kwang-ho poured the drink with both hands.

“Now then, toast to Mr. Kang who has come a long way!”

“Cheers!”

When Lee Kwang-ho, who is the eldest brother, sang the lead, the other players raised their glasses, shouted along in joyful voices, and emptied their respective glasses.

“You must have been taken aback by the sudden contact, but thank you for coming, sir.”

“no. I came because I wanted to come, too.”

Kang Tae-han, who ate a piece of fried shrimp as a snack, shook his head and said. Those words were not empty words.

It wasn’t that I was particularly reluctant to be in this kind of place, and I had developed a certain affinity with Hanha’s players, especially with the people here.

“I heard that you are busy since you just opened.”

“uh? really? Hey, Gwangho hyung! Did you ask the busy teacher to come all the way to Daejeon? Too much, really.”

“No, dude! I mean, the teacher asked to see you in Daejeon because he has something to come to Daejeon!”

I don’t know if it’s because of the atmosphere of the team itself, or if it’s only between these members, but despite the presence of Choi Tae-joon, the youngest member of the team, the drinking party proceeded in a good atmosphere with conversations and jokes flowing naturally.

“This season, it was good to play baseball like baseball!”

“It’s a problem that I drove it at the last minute.”

“Isn’t that all thanks to the teacher! In that sense, can I raise a drink?”

“By the way, I heard that you weren’t originally interested in baseball, is that true?”

“Yes, but after looking at it, it seemed to have a certain taste. I think it’s fun because the team you root for wins.”

“Kuhh… I have to work even harder next season because of the teachers.”

The atmosphere ripens as drinks are exchanged and stories continue. However, as the alcohol bottles piled up to a certain extent, everyone changed to an atmosphere of refraining from drinking.

“Kwangho hyung, would you like another drink?”

“No, I am fine.”

“Let’s order some more cider. Ask for new water.”

No one said it first, but it feels like everyone takes care of themselves. In fact, after getting a massage from Kang Tae-han, not only did the game performance improve, but the lives of the players also changed little by little.

“You should take care of it while you are healthy. Isn’t that right, sir?”

Especially veteran players who are a bit old. Since it is a physical that was lost once and regained, it is inevitable that the value is different.

Originally, Lee Kwang-ho was known for his love of alcohol among the players, but he only nodded as if he agreed with the words as he poured cider into his glass.
