Can you live forever

Chapter 229 Supporting Heaven and Earth, Grasping Yin and Yang

It is wrong to look down on outer alchemy after learning inner alchemy.

Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the inner alchemy system has matured, and the golden alchemy is indeed the supreme way, but not everyone has that understanding. If Zhang Zhixiang wants to carry out the longevity revolution, he must consider more ordinary people. The practice of many people requires external Assisted by Dan.

The elixir is also the existence of the power of longevity that ordinary people can experience.

Taoism and medicine are one.

There is also Zhu Youshu in medicine. Zhu Youshu uses talismans to pray for enlightenment or something. In essence, it transfers essence and changes qi, and uses the spirit of the caster to change qi to help patients heal.

This is a medical technique, and more of a Taoist technique.

The same is true for alchemy. Compared with ordinary medicine, elixir has more Qi factor.

Ordinary doctors do not dare to use large doses of poisonous things such as aconite and aconitum when prescribing them. However, some patients are already terminally ill and cannot be cured without strong medicine. They would rather take less responsibility than prescribe prescriptions.

But in the hands of famous doctors, these poisons can bring the dead back to life.

The same goes for lead and mercury.

Their "medicinal properties" are more biased and poisonous than aconite and aconitum, and ordinary people can't use them at all, but in the hands of elixirs, they are good materials for refining elixir.

Such as Sata.

Its main ingredient is mercury, which is processed by a secret method. After thousands of times of calcination, it becomes powder. When the powder is dropped in water, it will not roll like mercury, which means that the toxicity of mercury has been removed and the medicinal properties have been retained.

So it can be used as medicine.

This is still the processing of mercury as a material, and more materials, such as lead, sulfur, arsenic... To really make a elixir, it is not just a technical calcination. Watching the fire.

Because it is necessary to remove toxicity and integrate medicinal properties.

beyond the reach of material resources.

Some elixirs have requirements for the eaters, and they need to have a certain level of cultivation before taking them, but almost all elixirs have requirements for the alchemist, and the alchemist needs to have sufficient cultivation.

A high threshold means less output.

However, it is not impossible to popularize it, just like Zuotai in Tibetan medicine, alchemists refine the core Zuotai, and the rest of the medicine compatibility is done by doctors.

Only when the scale is up, there are enough alchemists.

Only by practicing along the way can we get rich first and then get rich... so that we can mass-produce elixir and realize the longevity of the whole people.

Dan medicine is an advanced technology of traditional Chinese medicine.

The technology tree cannot be discarded.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixiang was not only willing to learn Waidan, but also understood the importance of Waidan, Shao Yuanjie was very pleased, and began to explain the essence of Waidan to Zhang Zhixiang.

Shao Yuanjie asked: "Should you have studied "Thousand Characters"?"

Another Thousand Characters?
Zhang Zhixiang nodded and said, "I have learned."

Shao Yuanjie asked with a smile: "Since I have learned it, I will test you. 'The clouds make rain, and the dew turns into frost. Gold produces Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang.' What's the explanation for this sentence?"

Clouds cause rain, and dew forms frost.

It is described that when the cloud rises and meets the cold air, it will rain, and the dew at night will condense into frost when it meets the cold air. On the surface, they are all very simple natural phenomena.

From an external calculation point of view, it is the change of gaseous, liquid, and solid states of water.

but.

From an internal calculation point of view, that is... the rise and fall of qi.

"Traditional Chinese medicine includes sweating, vomiting, lowering, eliminating, harmonizing, warming, clearing, and tonifying. There are eight methods of internal treatment. Taking sweat as an example, the body fluid rises to the outside and turns into sweat to flow out, so as to achieve the effect of reducing fever and dampness. effect."

"This is the rising of the clouds and the rain. The change of the natural qi is the same as the change of the qi in the body."

"When the human body is sick, it should be from the outside to the inside."

"Such as poison, what is poison? It should be heat, fire, and poison. We often say that clearing away heat and detoxification is actually a joint progressive relationship. Heat can be cleared, fire needs to be relieved, and poison needs to be detoxified. How to detox? Use cold medicine to detoxify Of."

"Fever is like this, and cold is even more so."

"The dew turns into frost, and the cold and hot air in the body accumulates and condenses, and it will turn into a serious illness."

"Nature, the human body, and the changes of qi are all based on one principle. The change of cold and heat, the transformation of yin and yang, follow this principle, and experience the change of qi of medicine stones, which is the essence of alchemy."

"Only by turning a great poison into a great tonic."

Shao Yuanjie was very satisfied with Zhang Zhixiang's answer. The idea was correct, but it was not deep enough. He said with a smile, "Everything in the world is one, that's the truth."

"Then what is the meaning of 'gold grows in Lishui, jade grows in Kungang'?"

The obsession image is not clear, so I can only say the literal meaning. For this, Shao Yuanjie smiled, took out a piece of rough jade from the cabinet beside him, broke the rough stone, took out the rough jade, and threw it into the stone. It was calcined in the pot until it was red-hot, then the raw jade was crushed, ground into powder, poured into a cup, and Zhang Zhixiang took it with water.

This time Zhang Zhixiang swallowed without any hesitation.

It was a feeling that the five internal organs were all alive, as if the whole body had been drenched with nectar.

Shao Yuanjie asked with a smile, "Do you understand now?"

Zhang Zhixiang felt the nourishment and movement of that very special breath in his body, not only the physical feeling, but also the soul was nourished...

Yu Nai is the flesh of God.

"So it turns out that flesh and blood, vegetation, and jade all come from the same source... Everything is formed by the physical chaos, but the spirit that grows all things comes from the innate primordial spirit."

"Gold and jade, although they are not living beings, they also have spirits."

Seeing that Zhang Zhixiang had comprehended it, Shao Yuanjie said, "That's right, gold and jade have spirits, where does the spirit come from?"

Shao Yuanjie pointed to the sky and said, "Beichen."

His finger pointing to the sky slowly fell, as if the starlight of the Polaris fell vertically on the ground, Zhang Zhixiang crossed time and space, and saw where the starlight fell.

"Kunlun."

"That is, the real Kunlun."

"To the west of Hotan, where the dragons and veins of the world meet, is the place where the starlight of the North Star falls, carrying Zhou Tian's spiritual energy to the ground."

"Because it is the closest to Kunlun, Hetian jade is the best, and only Hetian jade can be called the flesh of God."

"The aura of heaven and earth moves with the veins of the dragon, but the mountains don't move, but the water moves."

"The big waves for gold are the treasures that have been scoured by countless auras for thousands of years."

"Of all the things in the world, only gold and jade have spirits, the most pure, and the medicinal properties are unbiased. But in the world, every plant, every tree, every stone and soil, don't they come from the same source?"

"In ancient times, there were real people who held up the heaven and the earth and grasped Yin and Yang."

"Zhang Zhixiang."

"A elixir is nothing more than the horoscope of 'supporting the heaven and the earth, grasping the yin and yang'. My ancestor of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Heavenly Master, made the pill and the dragon and the tiger appeared. What is the dragon and the tiger? The yin and yang of the heaven and the earth!"

Zhang Zhixiang suddenly became bright and cheerful, and it was wonderful in an instant.

He seemed to be looking at the mountains and rivers, capturing the yin and yang energy of the world, and finally came to Kunlun, where he saw the yin and yang energy following the stars like a dragon swimming, looking directly at Beichen!
Unknowingly, in his breath, the people around have heard the cries of dragons and roars of tigers...

Actually, there are signs of success!
Zhang Zhixiang, a half-step golden elixir.
