Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 276 The intercourse of Yin and Yang, the method of forming the elixir!
The process of perfecting and creating martial arts is tedious and boring.

Chu Yuan sat in the room all day long, meditating, but hard work pays off. As time went by, Chu Yuan gradually got a clue.

With the "Jiuxiao Gangqi" as the core, which is originally for cultivating innate true qi and opening up the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of the whole body, and supplemented by the methods of refining essence into qi, and refining qi and preserving spirit in the "Changsheng Jue", the original innate gangqi is transformed into the form of inner elixir, and formed into a golden pill in the dantian qi sea.

Once this golden elixir is refined, it will possess the abilities of the original "Nine Heavens Gangqi" and the innate Gangqi!
Of course, if that were all, this martial art would not have achieved any qualitative improvement, it would just be an upgraded version of "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

Once this golden elixir is formed in the practitioner's body, it can transform the practitioner completely and awaken incredible abilities.

Not only can it absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through acupoints, refine essence into qi, and increase one's own innate true qi, just like the "Secret of Immortality".

As the innate true qi grows, the innate vital energy in the Crimson Palace will also grow, allowing the practitioner to prolong his life.

The martial arts created by Chu Yuan, like the "Eternal Life Secret", has the effect of immortality, and can be said to have inherited the original effect of the "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

In addition, Chu Yuan also borrowed the inner alchemy practice methods of later Taoism for this newly created martial art. It is more like a Taoist practice method rather than a martial art. This is still very similar to "The Secret of Immortality".

From the very beginning, the practice of this martial art is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the acupoints, collect the essence of heaven and earth, and cultivate innate true qi and innate vital energy.

From the very beginning of practice, the focus is directly on the innate.

Unlike most martial arts in the world, which are practiced from the beginning.

According to Chu Yuan's expectation, this martial art is divided into four steps.

They are alchemy, elixir formation, elixir nourishment and golden elixir.

With Chu Yuan's current attainments and knowledge in martial arts, he can only perfect the training content of the self-created part up to the part of nourishing the golden elixir. The golden elixir part is just Chu Yuan's idea for the time being.

"This martial art is called 'Golden Elixir Immortal Sect Collection'!"

After almost perfecting the creation of this martial art, Chu Yuan gave it a name.

The name contains the word "Xianmen", which shows Chu Yuan's expectations for this martial art.

After creating the martial arts, Chu Yuan began to practice.

When practicing the "Jindan Xianmen Ji", the first step of refining the elixir is actually "refining essence into qi".

The "refining essence into qi" here does not only refer to refining the essence and qi in the human body, but also includes the essence of heaven and earth, which is the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

No matter how the essence of the human body is refined, there is still a huge difference between it and the heaven and earth.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the acupoints in the human body to collect and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is the essence of heaven and earth, in order to "refine essence into qi".

Chu Yuan had already achieved this when he practiced "The Secret of Immortality".

As he practiced, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth swarmed into his body and was refined by him through the nine orifices and entered his body.

He continued to use the method of "matching yin and yang" to "refine essence into qi".

In Taoist scriptures, there are many methods of "refining essence into qi", and "matching yin and yang" is one of them.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a trend in Taoism to specialize in the art of sex. Taoists believed that the natural law of intercourse between yin and yang contained the opportunity to become immortals.

However, as Zhang Lu, the grandson of Zhang Tianshi, entered Guanzhong, Taoism moved from the common people to the powerful upper class. Taoism naturally needed to adapt to the evaluation of itself by the mainstream upper class, so it abandoned the study of sex.

Later, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoist masters such as Lu Xiujing and Kou Qianzhi set out to rectify the Tianshi Dao from the north and the south respectively. The study of male and female sexual matters was also completely deleted from orthodox Taoism at this time. They denounced the bedroom arts that were originally part of the Taoist tradition as "three false methods" and "demonic words."

Demons and monsters are called together, so these "demons" who preserved the "demonic words" naturally fell from the righteous path to the devil.

That’s why there are True Daoists, a demonic sect that believes in primitive Taoism.

The "Jindan Xianmen Collection" created by Chu Yuan takes the upper and lower Dantian as yin and yang, and the intercourse of yin and yang to store essence and qi, and to harmonize qi and spirit, to achieve the process of refining, forming and nourishing the elixir.

Classical texts from the Qin and Han dynasties and before also mention the practice of “concentrating the mind into the qi points” and “letting the spirit and qi fall in love”, using parts of one’s own body to harmonize yin and yang and to refine essence into qi.

In fact, the human body already possesses both yin and yang properties.

It's just because of individual differences, or differences between men and women, some have more yin than yang, and some have more yang than yin.

Chu Yuan used the Qi Hai in the middle and lower Dantian and the Jiang Palace as Yin and Yang, and achieved the intercourse between Yin and Yang, taking Kan to fill Li, and the process of refining the elixir went very smoothly.

Chu Yuan used his nine orifices to collect and absorb the essence of heaven and earth into his body and rubbed it rapidly, using the intention of wandering to lead the fire to force the gold. The so-called fire forced the gold to turn upside down, and a white golden pill as big as a sesame seed slowly took shape in Chu Yuan's Dantian Qi Sea.

The reason why it appears in the lower dantian qihai instead of the middle dantian jianggong.

This is because the lower dantian is yin and the middle dantian is yang.

The middle dantian is located at the Tanzhong point on the chest, is related to the heart, and represents yang.

The lower dantian is located at the Guanyuan point three inches below the navel. It is related to the kidneys and represents yin.

Although yin and yang intercourse, the golden elixir was refined.

But the golden elixir is born in the Dantian Qi Sea where the Yin energy is most abundant.

"It can go not only to Dantian Qihai, but also to Jianggong."

Chu Yuan's mind moved slowly, and the white golden pill, which was only the size of a sesame seed and had just been born, began to move slowly towards the middle dantian, the crimson palace.

But the process was very strenuous, as if he was doing something extremely difficult.

After walking a short distance, he could no longer move at all.

“This is the pill-raising method.”

Chu Yuan wakes up.

With the training just now, he actually skipped the two stages of alchemy and pill formation and entered the stage of pill nurturing.

Normally speaking, when a beginner practices the "Jindan Xianmen Collection", the first thing they should do is to refine the elixir.

But refining the elixir is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires years of practice, collecting the essence of heaven and earth day and night, refining the essence into Qi, practicing diligently, and forming jade liquid in the Dantian Qi sea. After several years, the jade liquid turns into elixir, and finally forms a golden elixir.

Just like he is now!
It might be because he had practiced "The Secret of Immortality", and the first two realms and steps of "The Collection of Golden Elixir of Immortality" were similar to the previous practice of "The Secret of Immortality". He practiced very quickly. After just a little practice, he skipped the process of refining and forming the elixir and directly entered the third stage.

"The next step is to circulate the golden elixir day and night, and move it from the lower dantian to the middle dantian. The lower dantian belongs to yin, and the newly born golden elixir contains yin residue, so it is difficult for it to leave the lower dantian. The process of moving it to the middle dantian is also the process of 'nurturing the elixir'. When the golden elixir moves from the lower dantian to the middle dantian, it means that I have completed the 'nurturing the elixir' stage."

After Chu Yuan tried to move the golden elixir nine times, he felt mentally exhausted and stopped.

Practicing "The Collection of the Golden Elixir of Immortality" is very exhausting. Fortunately, Chu Yuan practiced the Yin-Yang principle of "The Secret of Immortality" and cultivated the power of the soul, otherwise he could only practice it three times a day at most.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

Just then, Fu Jun'er's voice came from outside the door.

"come in."

Chu Yuan opened his eyes and ended his retreat. He said to Fu Jun'er who was outside the door.

creak!

The door was pushed open.

Fu Jun'er walked in from outside with an umbrella soaked with rain in her hand and put the umbrella at the door.

There was the sound of raindrops outside. Judging from the sound outside, it seemed to be raining.

The rain was not heavy, just drizzling, but the sound of rain was continuous.

"Are you OK?"

After doing all this, Fu Jun'er turned around and looked at Chu Yuan with curiosity and asked Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's retreat this time was a bit long. In the past, Chu Yuan would take a bite of the food she sent him from time to time, but this time Chu Yuan had been silent for two or three months. If she hadn't been able to open the door at any time to check on Chu Yuan's condition in the room, she would have thought that Chu Yuan had encountered some accident.

"It's okay. Not only is it okay, I'm fine."

Chu Yuan said.

Just after successfully condensing the "golden elixir", Chu Yuan felt refreshed, as if he had become an immortal, and his eyesight and hearing became more acute. Originally, since he practiced the "Eternal Life Secret", his hearing and eyesight were much better than ordinary people. Now, on this basis, his eyesight and hearing have been improved again.

“You are glowing!”

Fu Jun'er suddenly looked at Chu Yuan with a surprised look.

Because she suddenly discovered that Chu Yuan's skin, especially his face, was covered with a very faint layer of white light that could not be seen without careful observation.

Then Fu Jun'er's nose twitched, and she gradually approached Chu Yuan, sniffing around Chu Yuan's body with her nose. A hint of realization flashed in her eyes, and she said, "It turns out that this sudden fragrance is coming from your body!"

twitter!

As soon as Fu Jun'er finished speaking, a burst of bird calls was heard outside the house, and the calls became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings violently.

When Fu Jun'er heard the sound, she walked to the door and was shocked!
Because there were many birds circling in the drizzle above the roof of the yard outside the house, and then they landed on the roof of the yard.

And as time goes by, birds continue to gather from all directions.

It is so dense and overwhelming that it feels like it is covering the sky.

Such big changes and movements happened in the courtyard where the leader Chu Yuan lived. Many Taoists in Qingcheng Sect noticed it and immediately went to report to the elders and the acting leader. After Kunyang and others learned the news, they immediately brought their disciples to Chu Yuan's residence.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Have you become an immortal?"

After standing at the door in a daze for a moment, Fu Jun'er came to her senses, walked back to Chu Yuan, looked Chu Yuan up and down.

"It's just that I have made some progress in my recent training, but I'm still a long way from becoming an immortal."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

He also noticed the movement outside the house and realized that it might be related to him.

"How long have I been in seclusion this time?"

Chu Yuan asked Fu Jun'er.

"Not long, just nine months."

Fu Jun'er responded.

If Chu Yuan had not become an immortal, she really couldn't imagine why he would cause such a big fuss.

She had never seen anyone else practicing martial arts and causing such a big commotion.

"It's only been nine months, that's not bad."

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been practicing for countless years, especially creating a training method that was like the "Eternal Life Secret" and had already transcended the level of martial arts. Chu Yuan was afraid that several years had passed without him noticing.

While he was talking to Fu Jun'er, tens of thousands of birds had already flown over the courtyard where Chu Yuan lived.

Not only was the roof of the courtyard full of birds, but because there was really no place for them to land, many birds could only circle over the courtyard where Chu Yuan lived, or even over a small area around it. It looked dark and quite scary!
"Junior brother, are you okay?"

At this moment, the voice of Taoist Kunyang was heard from outside the door.

Since he didn't know Chu Yuan's situation, he didn't rush in rashly.

"Go tell my senior brother and the other disciples in the sect that I'm fine. All the things that happened here were caused by my practice. I will be able to solve them quickly."

Chu Yuan said to Fu Jun'er.

"Okay, I'll convey it right away."

Fu Jun'er went to convey the message immediately. When she left, she picked up the umbrella that was placed at the door and closed the door.

She saw that Chu Yuan didn't seem to have the same thoughts as the other people in Qingcheng Sect for the time being.

After Fu Jun'er left, Chu Yuan thought about the changes that had taken place in himself, as well as the birds that had gathered outside the house. He pondered, "It seems that I have been reborn after cultivating the "Golden Pill", which is why these strange phenomena have occurred."

Although he had only formed the elixir and was still a long way from cultivating the real "golden elixir", after successfully forming the elixir, real changes took place in his body, which really happened.

First, the body becomes radiant and emits a strange fragrance, which is a sign of a complete transformation.

Especially the strange fragrance on his body, which comes from the essence of heaven and earth he collected, refined the essence into Qi, and then formed the elixir through the union of Yin and Yang. Because his body is full of essence and Qi, a part of it overflows from the body through the pores and acupoints, turning into this refreshing fragrance.

The fragrance even attracted all the birds on Mount Qingcheng, and they circled outside the courtyard where he was practicing.

After all, this is the fragrance and essence that emanates from his body after he gathers the essence of heaven and earth.

The solution is very simple. Just completely close the pores and acupoints all over the body to prevent the essence in the body from dissipating out of the body.

Chu Yuan tried it and found it a bit difficult!
Unlike ordinary people who are born with blocked meridians and acupoints, he has all the meridians open. He often practices the "Eternal Life Secret" to collect spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so it is impossible for him to close all the pores and acupoints on his body.

Chu Yuan could only close it roughly, so that the amount of essence that leaked out of the body through the pores and acupoints would be much less.

"Although there is still a scent on your body, you have to get close to me to smell it. At least it is much stronger than before."

After doing all this, Chu Yuan said in his heart.

He could already hear the sound of birds flapping their wings and flying away outside the house.

"Speaking of it, the 'Yin Yang Intercourse' method in the 'Golden Elixir Immortal Sect Collection' is similar to the art of bedroom arts and the practice of dual cultivation between men and women. It just so happens that the 'Yin Yang Huan Yang Gong' is too weak and can no longer keep up with the demand. I will take this opportunity to upgrade the 'Yin Yang Huan Yang Gong' as well."

Chu Yuan suddenly thought of it.

This is not a difficult thing. When he was practicing the golden elixir, he regarded the middle and lower dantian as yin and yang, and the method of yin and yang intercourse to condense the golden elixir was just a matter of replacing male and female.

The way of yin and yang is the great way of heaven and earth.

In the Tao Te Ching written by Li Er, the founder of Taoism, there are the most discussions about Yin and Yang.

Although the yin and yang in the Tao Te Ching do not only refer to men and women, but are the opposites of all things.

Chu Yuan took action immediately after thinking of it.

……

Outside the hospital.

"You mean, my junior brother has achieved success in his training?"

After listening to Fu Jun'er's explanation, Kunyang was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I just saw that Sect Leader Qingyang's body was emitting a faint luster, and there was also a refreshing fragrance on his body. The birds above our heads might have been attracted by this fragrance."

Fu Jun'er said.

"It really is."

After hearing what Fu Jun'er said, the elders from Kunyang and Qingcheng Sect, as well as the Qingcheng Sect disciples who reported to Kunyang and the elders, began to smell a refreshing fragrance in the air of the entire Qingcheng Sect.

The fragrance is not too strong, not like the scent of flowers, but just right, and it is refreshing and pleasant to smell.

If Fu Jun'er hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have paid much attention to it and would have thought it was just the normal scent of the flowers on Mount Qingcheng.

"Hey, did you talk about scent?"

Just then Kunyang suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the birds circling above his head, filling the roof and the sky, chirped a few times, and then, unwillingly, flapped their wings and gradually dispersed.

It was the first time that everyone saw such anthropomorphic emotions in a group of birds.

"Kunyang boy, if it's true as she said, the master's body is shining and a strange fragrance is blowing in the wind. I'm afraid he will become an immortal!"

At this moment, Taoist Han Guang among the elders let out a long sigh.

This is exactly what is recorded in the Taoist scriptures, a sign of successful cultivation!
