Five Yin Weed

The **Five Yin Weed** is a poisonous plant that looks identical to mugwort. Once ingested, the victim lose their strength and fall ill until they eventually die. Combatting its effects is simpler than you might think however, as all you need to do is to feed the patient some ground-up radish. Yet most physicians aren't even aware of this cure.

This is not something Cheongmyeong just made up to cover up how he cured Master Hwang, since it is a trick he picked up from them during the war. Hyun Sang also backs it up as he's heard of a similar treatment before.

## English Release

Season 1

The **5th chapter** of the webtoon was released in Korean on Naver Webtoon (Series) (2021), and later in English on Webtoons (2021).

## Synopsis

Un Gum is shocked to see the exhausted juniors all follow the new initiate's lead. He considers scolding him to maintain the sect's social hierarchy, but when he sees Cheongmyeong's sincerity, he plays along with the ruse that they all had "volunteered" and agrees to let them train like this for one month. Several days later, Cheongmyeong's dantian is still weak but finally taking shape, while the third class disciples are so exhausted that they're unable to hold their chopsticks straight. Jo Gul shuts down their whining, and shares to Yunjong that he is actually relieved that it finally seems like the sect has a proper future. Cheongmyeong feels at ease seeing how reasonable the sect members are being and continues his nap in a tree, until a group of merchants knock down the entrance demanding to see the sect leader.

Demonic Cult

**Overview**HistoryRelationshipsArchitectureGallery

The **Demonic Cult** (Hanja: 天魔, ), sometimes also referred to as the **Demon Cult**, specializes in the use of demonic qi.[?]

The official English translation of the webtoon calls it either the **Demonic Cult**[?] or **Demon Cult**.

## Background

100 years ago, the murim was involved in a war against the Heavenly Demon, Chun Ma. The Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Cheongmyeong, delivers the final blow, decapitating Chun Ma, only to soon after succumb to his own wounds. In retaliation, the surviving members of the Demon Cult Army pillaged Mount Hua, who were severely weakened with the loss of their most prominent members in the battle against Chun Ma, intending to raze it to the ground. Cheongmyeong originally believed that the cult was decimated at the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. However, when he discovered that Hwang Munyak was fighting against the mahwa disease, he realized that they were somehow able to survive.

## Teachings

Their usual approach to things is to destroy everything when they don't get their way, so things often do not end easily when dealing with them.

## Members

Currently, the **Demonic Cult** has no members on *Return of the Blossoming Blade Wiki*. Please contribute to the wiki!

**Episode 44**TranscriptGallery

## English Release

Season 1

The **44th chapter** of the webtoon was released in Korean on Naver Webtoon (Series) (2022), and later in English on Webtoons (2022).

Yunjong reports from the very beginning. They are impressed at Cheongmyeong's great financial achievements, but that martial prowess ultimately takes precedence esp. with the upcoming Huazhong contest, and Baek Sang suggest they help guide their juniors' training themselves. Yunjong returns to the sleeping troublemaker, and makes Jo Gul warn the others to be more mindful of their behavior moving forward, to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of Baek Cheon's grudge.

## Summary

In a flashback, Yunjong warns that he has been summoned, and that he'll be duty-bound to share everything that has happend to date. However, Cheongmyeong nonchalantly sends him off without a worry, while he burps off the food. At Baek Cheon's request, Yunjong starts off from the very begining, with how Cheongmyeong came to the sect, discovered a hidden cache of the cult's treasures and techniques, including the sect's ledgers which he used to clear their debts and regain control over its businesses, and not only that he cured Master Hwang who agreed to take care of the sect's finances in return.

With this they dismiss Yunjong, and they realize that the kid single-handedly solved all the problems that were plaguing the sect. However, material achievements doesn't truly matter, as martial prowess ultimately takes precedence, which will become especially important with the approaching Huazhong Contest. Baek Sang also suggest they should make sure to help their participating juniors to not be humiliated too, and should thus guide the 3rd grade disciples training themselves.

Back at the White Blossom Hall
, Yunjong returns to a sleeping Cheongmyeong, and tells Jo gul that he reported what had happened in their absence, explaining that there wasn't much point in hiding it since they'd find out eventually. Seeing how they'll probably get caught in the crossfire of Baek Cheon's grudge, they gather eveyrone to tell them to be more mindful about their behavior moving forward. Yunjong also notes how Jo Gul's attitude is worsening, who is treating him more like a buddy than a senior brother. He sighs while looking at the sleeping Cheongmyeong: "So much for the days of peace and quiet at Mount Hua..."

## Trivia

* In Korean, they add a note to how Baek Cheon warns not to unduly criticize (Hangul: 힐난\*하는, *hilnan\*haneun*), saying that he is talking about *finding fault and argue to the point where you don't feel comfortable.*

12-Strike Snow Blossom Technique

* Stance
* Attack

The **12-Strike Snow Blossom Technique** (Hanzi: 雪花十二式, Hangul: 설화십이식) is a new technique created by the Zhongnan Sect, but is actually a watered-down version of Mount Hua Sect's 24-Strike Plum Blossom Sword Technique. The technique is currently being taught to 1st and 2nd-grade disciples and up, though their elders never learnt the technique themselves.

The English translation calls it the **12-Strike Snow Blossom Technique**.

## Appearance

A sword technique that creates illusions of snow flowers. It appears as splendid and vivid blue sword lights, generating countless air slashes and flower patterns that can dye the world white.

## Description

It is a flashy sword technique that combines slow and heavy movements of the Zhongnan Sect with the swift and fluid style of the Mount Hua Sect. It has many transitional steps and one complete form; **Snow Flower Full Heaven**.[?]

## History

After Zhongnan plagiarized the 24-Strike Plum Blossom Sword Technique, they rebranded it as the *12-Strike Snow Blossom Technique*. Since the original technique was lost to Mount Hua and unable to recognize the technique, Zhongnan could blatantly steal it and pass it off as their own. The technique was likely invented by one of Zhongnan's elders, who would've begun by teaching it to their direct subordinates, the first-grade disciples. The technique is currently being taught to 1st and 2nd-grade disciples and up, though their elders never learnt the technique themselves.

> The rest of the world might fall for that lie, but it won't fool me. (Cheongmyeong)
>
>

This technique is a sword combination with many variations, and as such does not suit Zhongnan's martial arts philosophy and even goes against their principles. It is a variation strike that they won't ever be able to fully master, so Cheongmyeong advises against studying it.

## Trivia

* The name *Snow Blossom* is a reference to Mount Hua's Plum Blossom Sword Technique. The term Snow Blossom also appears in Mount Hua's Snow Blossom Pellets.

Season 1

The **43rd chapter** of the webtoon was released in Korean on Naver Webtoon (Series) (2022), and later in English on Webtoons (2022).

Baek Cheon tries to punish the newbie for insubordination, but it backfires as Un Gum turns a blind eye and Hyun Young chastises them for snitching on their precious golden goose, leaving the disciples flabbergasted. Later, he discusses the matter with Baek Sang, and summons Yunjong to find out why the sahyungs are so intent on giving Cheongmyeong special treatment.

## Summary

To his surprise, Un Gum turns a blind eye to the transgression, and explains that Cheongmyeong was granted special permission to travel outside the sect as he wishes by the sect leader. All the while, Cheongmyeong simply ignores the issue and focuses on his meal. Hyun Young enters to make sure everyone is enjoying the feast, so Baek Cheon brings up the matter of insubordination with him. The elder is apalled, until he sees it's just Cheongmyeong and begins inexplicably defending the boy's actions. He calls the rest of them freeloaders on their coffers and chastises him for snitching on their precious junior brother due to petty jealousy. Hyun Sang steps in to hold his mouth before he goes to far, and drags him out for some fresh air. Baek Cheon and the other 2nd-grade disciples are completely flabbergasted.

At his own residence, Baek Cheon sips a cup of tea, while Baek Sang questions their elders' reaction and how everybody is fawning over the newbie. When it should have been their moment to shine, he stole their spotlight, so he proposes that they should at least take him down a peg or two in order to reassert discipline in the sect. Baek Cheon reminds him to not make a mountain out of a molehill: Although he feels the same, he wants to figure out why the sahyungs are intent on giving him special treatment. Yunjong arrives as summoned, greeting his seniors.

## Trivia

* In the Korean text, Baek Cheon uses the expression *it's a struggle* (Hangul: 상전벽해, *sangjeonbyeoghae*), which is a metaphor for change to the extent that the world cannot recognize it. In the English translation, this is localized into: *The new Mount Hua is almost unrecognizable*.

## Public Information

Bearer of the "Curse" and Acknowledged as an "Ancient One" Despite being human once, The 'Undying' Fumetsu, one of the Oldest Evils to be known Alive, feared by his "Enemies" and Praised like a Deity by his followers...

For some unknown reason, Fumetsu's mental state has been deteriorating across the years, while at the same, his body did nothing but become stronger... It was not until he had an almost fated encounter against an Unknown Shinobi which severely weakened him, that his sanity seemingly began to recover, becoming more lucid, with still clear signs of Insanity... Or perhaps... something else.
## Fumetsu's Trivia

***These are some known facts about the stranger individual known as 'F U M E T S U';***
* His mask appears to serve multiple purposes for him, unique on his own, displaying unique characteristics no other object has displayed before, making people doubt if the mask is perhaps alive and sentient... Amongst those characteristics, there are the following... The capability to restore itself, change shape and form, demorph and change the hosts voice... It is unknown if the mask itself features defensive or offensive capabilities
* He's unphased by pain... As fearsome it sounds... It literally means nothing to him, Some have depicted him as being the kind of man who has the capabilities to avoid a lot of damage, but prefering for some reason to take it instead without caring much of his own body... Perhaps to inflict fear on his opponents... Others think he does so, just because he enjoys pain.
* Fumetsu's actual location is unknown due to some strange accident that occured in Earth Country which flattened the earth where his lands were located... Even so, he's a rather territorial man, rumors about his whereabouts may be able to found by searching in earth country or asking his followers.
* Fumetsu appears to be the leader of a cult of some sort... While there's not many details about it, his followers appear to have blind faith towards him, bordering the delusional aspect of faith, being willing to follow any order he gives, even if it involves death.
* The true aspect of his face and body is unknown, since he never takes his mask off... And he seems to be able to demorph, reshape and rearrange his body at will... Tales have been told, which imply that no one who has seen his true face as lived to tell what it looks like.

After taking the round distributing Plum Blossom Pellets, Cheongmyeong wakes an exhausted Jo Gul and helps guide his qi. The next day Un Gum is pleasantly surprised by the positive changes of the morning training, and as a reward he is willing to allow them to skip past all prior stages and teach them the Great Pacification Sword Technique early. At that moment, the sect leader enters with concerning news.

He casted a spell upon his kingdom to allow them to serve him for eternity. They now roam the old fortress awaiting his return

In his last moments he was holding onto the ledge of his fortress in the nether until he was dropped into the lava by his jealous brother Chilling. Burning would watch his flesh melt and his organs being incinerated.

Days later he would emerge from the lava no longer human and his fortress would be destroyed and a massive portal where the church used to be. He went through and found himself in a new and green world known as "Everglow"

Burning would remain to sit in a cave for 3 seasons and during the last one his brother would die to the cold, apparently he had been banished to Everglow after killing Burning. He now roams the cold snow valleys of the overworld as a stray

Beggars' Union

**Overview**HistoryRelationshipsArchitectureGallery

The **Beggars' Union** (Hangul: 丐帮) is a member of the 10 Great Sects. While their martial arts is lacking, the Beggars Union's power lies in being a prominent information source and their strong belief in justice, often being the first to join in a fight.[?]

The official title of the Ten Great Sects indicates that the Gaibang are not a sect, but rather an union of beggars, and is thus referred to as the **Beggars' Union**.[?] The official English translation is somewhat inconsistent, as it sometimes refers to it as the **Beggars' sect** and other times as the **Gaibang**.[?]

## Teachings

The members of the Gaibang Sect are referred to as beggars. Beggars are usually not given names, but rather get random nicknames thrown at them.

While the sect is a group of destitute individuals, the sect itself is not poverty-stricken. In fact, Mount Hua could be considered more impoverished at one point. Beggars usually have to survive by eating whatever food they can find. As such they sometimes accidentally eat poisonous plants such as the Five Yin Weed, while mistaking it for mugwort. Hyun Sang notes that "it seems that the Beggars' sect has many secret techniques to neutralize poisons."

Equilibrium of Six

The **Equilibrium of Six** (Hangul: 육합공) is one of the fundamental techniques of the Mount Hua Sect. It is a technique that cannot significantly increase one's internal qi strength, but can perfectly cleanse one's body.

## Description

“**Equilibrium of Six**”. The unity of Earth and Sky and the four cardinal directions—East, West, North, and South.

It was considered the cheapest martial arts technique in the world, sold for a price anyone could afford. In short: it’s cheap. It was supposed to be the first thing anyone should buy from the bookstore to learn martial arts. Those who don’t follow it would end up learning the same thing by self-education.

It's true worth was not known. All those who entered Mount Hua were instructed on the Equilibrium of Six because it could cleanse anyone’s body of impurities. Unfortunately, it didn’t make your internal qi stronger; it just made you healthier. Those newcomers who didn’t understand its value despised and cursed it so badly they wanted it removed from the teachings of Mount Hua Sect.

*"Equilibrium of Six didn’t increase strength nor qi. When comparing the efficiency of internal qi techniques, Equilibrium was less than one-tenth as effective as other techniques. But Equilibrium of Six was incredible for what it was made to do; the practitioner’s body would be perfectly purified."*

Equilibrium was a technique to perfect the **Foundation**. It was the best martial arts technique to purify the body, perfect the dantian, and perfect the body itself. However, the effects were never visible to the naked eyes, as people only noticed their dantian when using skills.

## Summary

Having overcome Mount Hua's biggest obstacle, poverty, Cheongmyeong sets his sights on the next issue, its martial arts. Although Zhongnan may be neglecting its principles in favour of vain pursuits, it's no time to rest on their laurels, as Mount Hua must rediscover its principles from scratch. In the void left by the departure of over a half of their partnered merchants, Eunha demonstrates their business acumen and has a great impact on the sect's businesses in Huayin, whose streets return to its usual hustle and bustle. Hyun Young is so pleased he can rarely be seen without a smile nowadays.

Elsewhere, the 3rd grade disciples are still undergoing their morning training sessions to improve their physical fitness under Cheongmyeong's guidance, this time doing push-ups with boulders on their backs. Yunjong explains how they've begun to enjoy these sessions, though he questions whether Mount Hua is turning into a strongman competition: "Is this Mount Hua or Mount Swole?" Jo Gul reports that Cheongmyeong hasn't been turning up for training very often these days, and Yunjong notes that he's hasn't shown up as much ever since they began training of their own free will. They discuss how much they've grown, and agree to ask Cheongmyeong to add even more to their training schedule once he's back.

Elsewhere, Cheongmyeong rises early to sneak out into the woods, climbing up the Flower Fall Peak. Although he can copy his old techniques, he cannot execute them perfectly without risking his life. So he needs to train at full strength, practicing each sword stroke thousands of times, to reattune his sword to his new body and gain the state of sword-body unity. On this particular day, he stumbles upon Yoo Iseol training on her own. He poetically calls her a "moonlit beauty," and is surprised she knows Mount Hua's old martial art style. As he hides behind a bush observing her, she suddenly launches towards him asking for his identity.

## Summary

His child body won't last long under the effects of mahwa, so Cheongmyeong pulls himself together to avoid passing out. Cornered, the demonic qi fights more fiercely than before and finally immobilizes Cheongmyeong. All out of options, he disperses qi from his dantian throughout his body and explodes it, which purges all the demonic qi all at once. Falling to the ground, Cheongmyeong gasps for air and counts himself lucky to have survived against more demonic qi than he can currently handle. Master Hwang comes to and is greeted by Cheongmyeong's smiling face.

With Master Hwang's recovery, the Eunha Trading Company quickly resumes its normal operations. Beon Jabok confesses that he was once the heir to one of Eunha's former competitors. According to him, he found the technique scroll to the Crimson Demonic Hand on a corpse he happened upon while on a business trip. Cheongmyeong receives a banquet in his honor, and for the next three days he feasts so much that he puts on a lot of weight. Jongui helps his father into the room, and Hwang Munyak excuses his own impertinence for requesting something of his savior.

## Trivia

* A perched bird overlooking the Eunha Trading Company rapidly flies off after Master Hwang recovers. As this is a common trope for spies in cultivation novels, it is unclear whether this is a Chekov's gun or a red herring.

## Mahwa

### Hanja

魔花

**Mahwa** (Hanja: 魔花, Hangul: 마화), also known as the **Devil's Flower** (Hangul: 악마의 꽃) or **Crimson Demonic Hand**, is a deadly disease. Although it may be mistaken for poisoning or excessive yin energy, it is actually an ailment caused by a particular martial arts technique of the Demon Cult, which can turn the victim's body a dark red and kill them in less than the time needed to finish a meal.

From outside, the symptoms appear to indicate severe poisoning by a toxin of some kind, thus most physicians end up focusing on finding an antidote. However, not many people know about the disease and anyone who might have recognized the signs died on the Peak of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range at the hands of Cheonma. Cheongmyeong recognised the symptoms immediately, but could not draw any conclusions before seeing the condition in person first.

> His pulse is erratic, his skin is a dark reddish hue. He has lost consciousness and can no longer move, and there is a black spot between his brows. (...) We at Eunha Trading Company have invited renowned physicians from all across China to tend to my father, but none of them could properly diagnose his ailment. As such, out of sheer desperation, I am reaching out to all of my father's acquaintances. Dear jangmun-in
> , if you have any knowledge of my father's symptoms, I would be eternally grateful for your insight.
>
> Hwang Jongui to Hyun Jong

> His skin turned red, and his body became ice cold! Applying pressure turned the skin slightly pale, only for the reddish hue to quickly return. Before losing consciousness, he experienced severe chills, as though he had been trapped in an ice cave. And patches of black began to appear between his brows, behind his neck, and on his crown! (Cheongmyeong to Hwang Jongui)

## Relations

### Affiliation(s)

* Eunha Trading Company

**Beon Jabok** (Hangul: 번자복) is the overseer and trusted advisor of the Eunha Trading Company.

The official English webtoon calls him **Jabok Beon**. On the wiki we use Beon Jabok for consistency.

## Background

*Main: History of Beon Jabok*
Beon Jabok was once the heir to a former competitor of the Eunha Trading Company. While on a business trip, he stumbled upon the corpse of presumably a Demonic Cultist, on whose body he found the technique scroll to the Crimson Demonic Hand. At some point, perhaps for revenge, he joined the Eunha Trading Company, where he would work himself up to become the company's overseer and advisor. He dedicated himself to Master Hwang, claiming he meant the world to him, which made Jongui place his trust in him. However, he would secretly inflict Master Hwang to mahwa over a prolonged period of time. He tried to assassinate Cheongmyeong and pin the blame on Zhongnan, but instead walked straight into a trap. He was defeated by Songbaek, and confessed his true motives of coveting the company's fortune.

## Abilities

Jabok hid the fact that he studied martial arts from the Eunha Trading Company, though he's still just a novice martial artist.
