Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 731: Embracing Puzi Ge Hong

As soon as Ge Xiangong said this, Lu Dongbin and Huolong Zhenren both looked at Chen Yun's face.

Lü Dongbin hesitated and said, "My Immortal, have you seen it wrong? My inner alchemy school cultivates the innate Qi, where does the poison of the alchemy fire come from? Isn't it only produced by taking external elixirs?"

Fire Dragon Zheng Yin also looked puzzled and said, "Yes, Master, I heard that the Inner Alchemy School uses one's body as a furnace and the essence, energy and spirit as medicine to refine the innate Qi. Although it is called the Golden Elixir, it is not the case. How could Master Chen be poisoned by the Dan Fire?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun wondered if he had taken too much spiritual soup, which led to him being poisoned by the Danhuo?
Ge Xuan seemed unsure, "I see that Master Chen's face looks like he has been poisoned by the fire of the elixir. I am not sure if this is the case. I need to ask Master Chen if he has been poisoned."

Chen Yun finally saw someone who seemed to understand his situation, so naturally he would not hide anything.

He nodded and admitted, "There are indeed signs of poisoning in my body. As for why I am poisoned, I don't know yet. Maybe it's like what the Heavenly Master said, it's the poison of the Dan Fire."

Lu Dongbin frowned, "Not sure yet?"

Zheng Yin said: "As the saying goes, treat the disease with the right medicine. If Master Chen doesn't know the specific condition, even if we have great skills, we can't treat it."

Lü Dongbin was a little worried and asked, "What should I do?"

"It's very simple to find out what's going on." Ge Xuan said softly, "We can just find someone who is proficient in alchemy and medicine to come and take a look."

Generally speaking, most of the ancient Taoists were proficient in alchemy and medicine.

However, when it comes to Chen Yun’s level, it is not possible for an ordinary Taoist priest to judge his symptoms.

Therefore, everyone knew very well that the person who was proficient in alchemy and medicine that Ge Xiangong was talking about was definitely not an ordinary person, but a top alchemy and medical master with at least the cultivation level of a celestial immortal.

It is easy to find an alchemist in the celestial realm, and it is not difficult to find a master of medical skills, but it is very difficult to combine the two.

To be honest, Chen Yun and Lu Dongbin really couldn't think of anyone for a while.

Instead, Zheng Yin blinked and asked, "Master, are you talking about him?"

Ge Xuan laughed, "Besides this kid, who else has this ability?"

Lü Dongbin was really worried about Chen Yun, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Zheng, Master Ge, I wonder who the person you two are talking about is?"

Chen Yun looked at it with curiosity.

Zheng Yin smiled and said, "Who else could it be? My teacher's nephew, my disciple, Ge Hong."

Ge Hong?

Baopuzi?
This person occupies a very important position in Taoism.

Ge Hong, who called himself Baopuzi, was known as the Little Immortal by people in the world.

According to legend, his first half of life was rather miserable. He lost his father at the age of thirteen and his family fell into poverty. He began to read classics, history, and various schools of thought at the age of sixteen. He became famous for his Confucianism and later practiced Taoism with Zheng Yin.

Ge Hong wrote Yu Han Fang (Yu Han Fang) in 100 volumes and Er Hou Bei Ji Fang (Zou Hou Bei Ji Fang) in 3 volumes, both of which are medical classics.

In addition, he also made great contributions to the Taoist practice system.

For example, the famous Taoist classic "Baopuzi" was his creation.

The book "Baopuzi" is divided into two parts: outer chapters and inner chapters.

Let’s not talk about the outer chapters for now.

The inner chapters are extraordinary. The book summarizes the theories of immortals since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, establishes the Taoist immortal theory system, and inherits Wei Boyang's alchemy theory. It can be said to be the culmination of the alchemy techniques of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

If we must describe Ge Hong's position in alchemy, we can only use the word "inheriting the past and ushering in the future".

Ge Hong is the true great master of Taoism!
Chen Yun asked tentatively, "How can I invite the young immortal to come here and give me a consultation?"

Ge Xuan laughed dumbly and said, "Does this kid need to be invited? His master and I are both here, just send someone to call him over."

Zheng Yin said, "I have a letter. Master Chen, have someone deliver it to Luofu Mountain. He will come right away."

Chen Yun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Ge, and thank you, Master Huolong."

As he said this, he gave Lu Dongbin another grateful look.

Chen Yun was very clear in his heart. He had no relationship with Ge Xuan and Huolong Zhenren, so why did they help him so generously? Wasn't it because of Lu Dongbin's face?

Afterwards, Zheng Yin wrote a letter.

Chen Yun took the letter and sent Taoist Jiao to take it to Luofu Mountain.

……

In the living room.

Chen Yun was humbly asking Ge Xuan for advice, "Mr. Immortal, I heard from Mr. Wu Jiao that you are proficient in the three escapes of heaven, earth and man in the Dunjia Heavenly Book. I wonder if I can ask you how to practice this Dunjia Heavenly Book?"

Ge Xuan asked: "Master, did you give the Dunjia Heavenly Book?"

Chen Yun said: "I gave it to you."

Ge Xuan was surprised and asked, "Since it was given, why is Master Chen still asking?"

Chen Yun was a little confused and asked, "Why do you say that, Immortal Master?"

Lu Dongbin and Zheng Yin were sitting there reminiscing about the past in a low voice. When they heard the conversation between the two men, they couldn't help but stop talking and glanced at them sideways.

Ge Xuan explained carefully: "The Dunjia Heavenly Book has three volumes of Heavenly Books, namely, Heaven, Earth and Man. You only need to cultivate to the Earthly Immortal Realm to be able to use your Yuanshen... Well, the highest immortal realm you cultivate in inner alchemy is called Yangshen. You only need to let your Yangshen leave your body and enter any of the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to comprehend the boundless Dharma."

what?
So simple?
Chen Yun smiled and said, "I have comprehended the Six Escapes Scrolls before, and each time I comprehended them, it was particularly strenuous. I thought that the three volumes of the Heavenly Book of Heaven, Earth and Man required a higher level of cultivation..."

Before he finished speaking, Ge Xuan was shocked and said, "The Dunjia Heavenly Book only has three volumes of the Heavenly Book of Heaven and Earth, but no Six Dunjia Diagrams Volume."

Zheng Yin said: "Yes, my "Heaven Escape Sword Technique" is the Heaven Escape Technique taught by my master. I learned it from my own experience. I have never heard of any Six Escape Scrolls."

Chen Yun suddenly remembered that the immortal Zuo Ci once said that the Six Escapes Scroll was obtained later. Before that, there were only three volumes of the Heavenly Book of Heaven, Earth and Man. It was not surprising that Ge Xuan and True Man Huolong did not know about it.

He said, "Oh, the Six Escapes Scroll was given to me by Mr. Wu Jiao after he obtained it."

"I see." Ge Xuan nodded slightly, "I have always thought that the 'Dunjia Heavenly Book' only had three volumes, namely, Heaven, Earth and Man. I never thought that there was also the Six Dunjia Diagrams Volume."

At this point, he said with emotion: "These three volumes of the Heaven, Earth and Man can not only allow people to comprehend the boundless Dharma, but each volume of the Heavenly Book is also an incredible magic weapon. I wonder what mysteries this Six Escapes Scroll contains."

When this matter was mentioned, Chen Yun simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and said nothing more.

Logically speaking, his "Book of Dunjia" was given to him by the immortal Zuo Ci, and Ge Xuan was Zuo Ci's disciple. There seemed to be nothing wrong in showing the Six Escapes Scroll to the other party.

However, Chen Yun didn't think so. If the immortal Zuo Ci really wanted Ge Xuan to practice the Six Escapes, he would have given it to him long ago. How could it fall into his hands?
Therefore, Zuo Ci did not want Ge Xuan to learn the Lower Six Escapes. Chen Yun naturally could not go against the other party's wishes, but he could not refuse directly, so he simply kept silent.

Fortunately, Ge Xuan just sighed and then changed the subject: "Since I comprehended the three volumes of the Heavenly Book of Heaven, Earth and Man, I have comprehended some profound Taoism from them, and thus created the Nine Elixirs Golden Liquid Immortal Scripture. Now I have cultivated to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm with it, and I have established the path I want to take. I just don't know when I can break through to the Half-Step Daluo realm."

He glanced at Lu Dongbin and said, "On the contrary, you, Chunyangzi, seem to be on the verge of becoming a half-step Daluo. I am really envious of you."

Lu Dongbin smiled and said, "Everyone has his own destiny. Maybe one day the immortal will arrive and it is possible for him to achieve the Half-Step Daluo before me."

The group chatted for a while.

Suddenly, there was a burst of auspicious light in the sky outside the door.

Chen Yun turned his head and saw an amiable old man in a white robe with kind eyes, flying up with his hands behind his back. Behind him followed Chen Yun's disciple Jiao Daoren.

There is no need to guess, this kind-looking old man must be Ge Hong.

Chen Yun instinctively stood up to greet him.

Ge Xuan, Zheng Yin and Lu Dongbin sat there motionless.

The next moment, Ge Hong pressed down the cloud, walked quickly into the guest hall, bowed and said: "Ge Hong greets my great uncle, my mentor and Chun Yangzi."

Hearing this, Lü Dongbin stood up, bowed and said in return, "Master Ge is polite."

Ge Xuan and Zheng Yin each nodded and asked the other to excuse themselves.

Immediately, Ge Xuan pointed at Chen Yun and said, "Hong'er, this is Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhengyangzi."

Ge Hong bowed and said, "Master Chen, I am polite."

Chen Yun returned the greeting and said, "Master Ge, I am honored."

After some acquaintance, Chen Yun invited Ge Hong to sit down.

As for Taoist Jiao, he was very tactful. Knowing that these big guys wanted to discuss something, he left quietly.

As soon as Ge Hong sat down, he looked at Chen Yun in confusion and asked, "Master Chen, I see that your immortal energy is restless and your expression is strange. Could it be that you took too many pills and got poisoned by the pill fire?"

Huh?
Did Ge Hong also say this?

Chen Yun was basically certain that he was most likely poisoned by the Danhuo poison.

Before he could respond, Ge Xuan slowly said, "I asked Siyuan to call you over to diagnose Master Chen and see if he is poisoned."

Ge Hong stared at Chen Yun for a long while, then said solemnly, "Although there is no sign of anything wrong with Master Chen's appearance, his immortal energy is mixed with signs of heat and poison, and his expression is a little wild, unlike the calmness of an ordinary cultivator. I think he has been poisoned by the fire of the elixir, but I need to check carefully to find out why he was poisoned."

Chen Yun said: "Please trouble Master Ge to help me check it out."

Ge Hong stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, please put away your protective Qi. I will use my Qi to examine your body."

Chen Yun said: "Good, thank you for your help."

He put away the immortal energy that protected his body.

Ge Hong placed his hand on Chen Yun's pulse and injected a wisp of immortal energy into him.

Ge Xuan, Zheng Yin and Lu Dongbin sat over there and watched carefully.

Suddenly, Ge Hong showed a look of doubt and uncertainty, "Master Chen, are you practicing inner alchemy?"

Chen Yun didn't understand why the other party asked this, and thought to himself, isn't this an obvious thing?

However, he knew that since the other party asked this, there must be a reason, so he responded: "That's right."

Ge Hong slowly withdrew his immortal energy, frowned and looked at Lü Dongbin, and asked: "Chun Yangzi, as far as I know, when you practice inner alchemy to the heavenly immortal realm, your body and soul should merge into the void, that is, refine the body into the yang spirit and return to the original ancestral energy, right?"

Lu Dongbin nodded and said, "That's right."

Ge Hong turned his head and looked at Chen Yun with a strange expression, "Master Chen, why are your body and spirit in harmony with reality?"

"Hmm?" Lü Dongbin also showed a look of doubt, "Junior brother, have you merged your body and spirit into reality?"

Chen Yun didn't understand why the two asked this, so he told the truth: "That's right, my method of cultivation is a little special, and it requires the body and spirit to be in harmony with the body."

He practiced the "Pangu True Body Art". If his body and spirit merged into the void and returned to the original ancestral energy, then this mysterious skill would be in vain. Therefore, he could only merge his body and spirit into reality.

Ge Hong sighed and said, "Chun Yangzi, now you know why Chen Zhenren was poisoned by Danhuo without me telling you why, right?"

Lü Dongbin frowned more and more deeply and said, "Although my inner alchemy technique emphasizes the perfection of both body and spirit, the physical body always has its limits, and it must eventually return to emptiness, that is, the body and spirit merge into the void. As for those who practice inner alchemy and take the path of merging body and spirit into reality, I have not seen a single one so I don't know if my guess is correct."

Ge Hong said: "It should be correct."

Lu Dongbin looked at Chen Yun and said solemnly, "Junior brother, you must have internal fire from the elixir, and you have not been able to eliminate the heat for a long time."

Chen Yun still didn't understand, so he humbly asked, "Brother, can you explain it in detail?"

Lü Dongbin said in a different way: "Refine the inner elixir like a baby in the womb. The baby is in the mother's womb, and the qi is fixed in the womb, unable to come out. The pure divine water enters without any damage. If the baby has an umbilical cord in the navel and holds it in the mouth, the air will flow in and out continuously. This is natural fetal breathing, so there is no damage. Now you are taking the path of combining body and spirit into reality, which is equivalent to refining yourself into a golden elixir, or a baby, but you are not in the mother's womb. In this way, the body and spirit are not washed by the pure divine water, so they are naturally damaged. Damage will produce poison, so it is heat poison."

Oh!
I roughly understand what it means.

A normal baby has amniotic fluid in the mother's womb. The amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus and provides a layer of protection, reducing the impact of the outside world on the fetus. It can also provide nutrition, regulate temperature, excrete waste, etc.

Chen Yun's path of combining form and spirit into reality is like a baby who has lost its amniotic fluid. He will naturally be affected by external shocks and lose nutrients. He is also unable to eliminate some of the waste gas produced during cultivation, which leads to signs of poisoning.

According to Lu Dongbin, if Chen Yun cannot solve this problem, not only will the poisoning worsen in the future, but his body may also be damaged by more external "hardening".

Chen Yun didn't know whether his understanding was correct or not, but one thing was certain: his approach of integrating form and spirit with reality might be a wrong one at the moment.

When he thought of this, he frowned, "What should I do?"

Lü Dongbin said helplessly: "My inner alchemy techniques all focus on the unity of body and spirit. This is the first time I have seen your condition, so I really don't know how to help you."

Is there really no way to solve the problem?

Chen Yun had complicated thoughts.

At this moment, Ge Hong suddenly said, "In fact, solving this problem is difficult, but it is also easy."

Ok?
Do you have any solution?
Chen Yun was overjoyed, and immediately looked over and asked humbly, "Master Ge, please teach me how to solve this problem."
