Chapter 163 Refining Spirit Pills
……

The next morning.

When Wu Wen walked out of the room.

I saw Master Li Chunfeng practicing facing the rising sun.

This was the first time he saw Li Chunfeng practicing, so Wu Wen stopped and stood aside, watching quietly.

During his observation, Wu Wen felt that what Li Chunfeng was practicing was very mysterious, and he could not understand it for a while.

When Li Chunfeng finished his training, Wu Wen came forward to greet him: "Master, good morning!"

Li Chunfeng nodded in response.

Wu Wen then asked with a smile, with doubt in his eyes: "Master, what were you practicing just now?"

"The Great Circulation." Li Chunfeng replied.

"The Great Circulation of Heaven?" Wu Wen asked humbly, "Master, can you tell me about the Great Circulation of Heaven?"

Li Chunfeng glanced at him, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that the master doesn't want to teach you, but you don't understand it now."

Hearing this, Wu Wen felt a little unconvinced. With his current knowledge, is there anything he cannot understand?
So Wu Wen asked again: "Master, just tell me about it!"

Seeing his eager and confident look, Li Chunfeng asked back:

"Well, let me test you.

Do you know which acupuncture points on the human body correspond to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the twenty-eight constellations, etc.?"

"What is the relationship between the circulation of meridians in the human body and the changes of the heavenly stems and earthly branches at different times of the day?"

"Which five organs in the body does the Five Star Formation correspond to? What is the connection between their changes?"

"..."

Li Chunfeng asked a lot of questions, all of which were about the correspondence between the human body and the stars in the sky, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the changes in time.

Although Wu Wen had some understanding of these, he only had a superficial understanding.

If we talk about the deep changes and corresponding laws between them, Wu Wen really doesn't know.

Seeing that his emotions were extinguished at once, Li Chunfeng said with a smile:

“If you really want to learn, first solve the problems I just asked you.

It is not difficult to solve them. You can find the answers in Liuren, Taiyi and Qimen Dunjia."

"But now, the master has something else to give you, so please follow me."

Wu Wen followed Li Chunfeng into the room.

Li Chunfeng took out a book from his arms and handed it to him.

When Wu Wen took it and looked at it, he was shocked by the name written on the book. It read "Yin Fu Jing".

[Observe the way of Heaven, follow the actions of Heaven, and that’s all.]

There are five thieves in the sky, whoever sees them will prosper.

The five thieves are in the heart and are carried out in the sky.

The universe is in your hands and all things come from your body.

Nature is human nature.

The human heart is a machine.

Establish the Way of Heaven to determine man. 】

Reciting the contents of the musical notes.

Li Chunfeng then said to Wu Wen: "Today, I will teach you how to cultivate your mind!"

Hearing this, Wu Wen immediately sat up straight and listened attentively to Li Chunfeng's explanation of the contents of the "Yin Fu Jing".

“To cultivate one’s mind is to cultivate one’s inner self so that it can reach a state that is in harmony with the Way of Heaven.”

Li Chunfeng said slowly.

"There are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper. These five thieves refer to the five hidden changes in the way of heaven, and also the five distracting thoughts in people's hearts.

Only by seeing through these distracting thoughts and resolving them can one achieve a pure and spotless state of mind. "

"..."

Listening to Li Chunfeng's explanation, Wu Wen couldn't help but admire in his heart that the "Yin Fu Jing" is indeed worthy of being known as the "No. 1 Scripture". Every word in its content is gemstone and every sentence is full of profound meaning.

This classic not only expounds the philosophy of practice, but also contains a specific method of practice.

Whether it is for external spiritual practice or internal cultivation of the mind, the Yin Fu Jing can serve as a guide.

An hour.

After teaching Wu Wen carefully, Li Chunfeng let him comprehend what he had just learned on his own, and then turned and left.

Wu Wen took the Yin Fu Jing to the practice room, immersed himself in the inner scene, and gained in-depth insights.

in the following days.

Li Chunfeng would set aside an hour every day to give Wu Wen systematic instruction.

In addition to studying the Yin Fu Jing in depth, Wu Wen also followed Li Chunfeng's advice and studied the Taiyi Shushu, Liuren, Qimen Dunjia and other divination classics to find all the answers to the questions he had raised before about practicing the "Great Zhoutian".

After all, the content that can be recorded in books is limited, so the answers to some questions require Wu Wen to comprehend and summarize them himself.

Therefore, it is not enough to just read the books, but you also need to deeply understand the meaning.

The twelve hours correspond to the twelve meridians of the human body.

The heaven and the earth are divided into four seasons, five elements, and nine solutions, totaling three hundred and sixty days.

Four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Nine interpretations: east, west, south, north, center, southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast.

These correspond to the four limbs, five internal organs, nine orifices, and three hundred and sixty joints of the human body.

Humans have nine orifices, which correspond to the Big Dipper in the sky.

The Big Dipper actually has nine stars, two of which are relatively hidden, namely Zuo Fu and You Bi.

This is consistent with the nine orifices of the human body, and there are also two hidden orifices. The seven orifices that people can commonly see are two ears, two noses, two eyes, and one mouth, while the other two orifices are relatively hidden.

……

that's it.

Unconsciously.

Half a year passed quickly.

During this period of independent learning, Wu Wen gradually figured out the method of practicing the Great Circulation without direct instruction from Li Chunfeng.

Of course, this may also be Li Chunfeng’s unique way of teaching, because only what you truly learn truly belongs to you.

Observe the way of Heaven and watch the actions of Heaven.

The core of the Great Circulation practice is to make oneself resonate with the running world, thereby achieving the state of unity between man and nature and ultimately achieving immortality.

After learning the method of practicing the Great Circulation, Wu Wen did not practice it.

Instead, integrate this understanding into your own inner scene.

In this way, his inner vision with the moving stars in the sky seemed more like a complete and real world.

—

this day.

Wu Wen did not study and practice as usual.

Instead, he went to the open space behind the palace with Li Chunfeng to watch Yuan Tiangang prepare the medicinal materials for the elixir of life.

After obtaining the spiritual pill, Yuan Tiangang did not leave Dingxiang City. Instead, he used Wu Wen's power to create a special device to refine the spiritual pill into medicinal materials that could be used to make elixirs of immortality.

At that time, Wu Wen was also curious about how he would refine it, so he fully supported him.

Half a year has passed.

Yuan Tiangang's special device for refining spiritual pills has finally been completed. He is going to refine it today, so Wu Wen and Li Chunfeng come to watch.

Only on the open space.

Wu Wen saw an inverted iron pot-like object with a diameter of nearly ten meters.

At that time, he was curious about what this thing was? Could it be that he was going to use this big pot to slowly refine the spirit pills by boiling them?
But when Yuan Tiangang ordered his men to turn the pot over, Wu Wen was suddenly shocked.

Because this is not a big iron pot at all, but a solar cooker.

On the inner wall of the iron pot, there were densely packed crystal fragments arranged in a regular and orderly pattern, sparkling in the sun.

Wu Wen understood instantly that Yuan Tiangang wanted to use the solar stove to gather sunlight, and then use its high temperature of thousands of degrees to refine it into medicinal materials for making elixir of life.

He couldn't help but wonder how he came up with this method? Or how did the person who created the elixir of immortality come up with it?

Just when Wu Wen was confused and thinking.

Yuan Tiangang is about to start refining the spiritual pill.

He looked up at the sky. He had predicted today's weather and it was going to be a sunny and sunny day.

Yuan Tiangang aimed the solar cooker at the sun, then used an iron rod to prop up a platform and placed the spirit pill on the platform.

Under the focused sunlight from the sun, temperatures of thousands of degrees gathered on the spirit pill.

Then the iron-hard spirit pill began to melt slowly.

As the sun rose, Yuan Tiangang, who was standing next to the solar stove, was constantly adjusting the angle so that the focus of the sunlight always fell on the Lingwan.

In this way, time passed by minute by minute.

From morning to afternoon, for a full two hours, under the high temperature melting, the spirit pill first turned into a pool of liquid, then began to evaporate impurities continuously, and finally condensed into a small water droplet.

However, things are not over yet.

Yuan Tiangang took out three porcelain bottles, which contained three different unknown powders. He sprinkled them on the Lingwan liquid in an orderly order.

Every powder reacts violently when it comes into contact with it.

Bubbling, smoking, and rolling violently.

Wu Wen was deeply moved as he watched from the sidelines. This scene was really like a chemical experiment in a current scientific laboratory.

Stare intently.

Under Yuan Tiangang's various operations, the spirit pill turned into a smaller liquid droplet.

As the solar cooker was moved away, the sunlight no longer gathered. Yuan Tiangang took out a small porcelain bottle and poured an unknown liquid into it. A sizzling sound came out.

The liquid spirit bead actually turned into a transparent crystal piece only the size of the little finger nail.

Wu Wen and Li Chunfeng walked forward at the same time to watch.

Looking at the transparent crystal in front of him, Wu Wen secretly sighed in his heart, he never expected that the method of refining spiritual pills would be like this.

Judging from the appearance and structure alone, Yuan Tiangang's operation changed the structure of the spirit pill not only physically but also chemically.

In this regard, Wu Wen couldn't help but wonder, if this method was used to refine a medicinal ingredient, then what method would be used to refine the elixir of life?
Although he couldn't guess it, he was sure that the method of refining the elixir of life was definitely not what he had previously thought, such as refining it in an alchemy furnace.

It is a more advanced chemical reaction.

Therefore, Wu Wen was even more certain in his heart that Yuan Tiangang would definitely be able to refine an elixir that could develop the brain.

Yuan Tiangang carefully stored the transparent crystal pieces that he had refined from the spiritual pills in a device made by hollowing out the middle of a red gemstone, and kept them close to him.

Then he smiled and said to Li Chunfeng: "Junior brother, I have stayed for half a year. The refining of the spirit pill is complete. It is time for me to leave."

"Wu Wen, thank you for helping me refine the elixir of life."

Wu Wen smiled awkwardly.

After talking with Li Chunfeng for a while.

Yuan Tiangang left Dingxiang City.
