I've already ascended to immortality, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

The steel billet itself broke first, not the impurities!

The key to breaking the deadlock

The key is to first burn away the impurities in the true qi.

Then the question is coming,

How can we burn away the impurities in our true qi?

Bai Sheng flipped through it again. He turned to the last page...

There is still no answer.

The annotation in the book says,

It needs to be repeatedly calcined with the fire of the heart.

Heart fire, calcination,

That's too abstract...

"How could the Primordial Daoist Book be so bad?"

"I'm Chovy, you've already written the book for me!"

Bai Sheng tossed the book next to his pillow and looked up at the ceiling.

This is a crucial technical detail that the book conveniently omits.

If this were a real spiritual practice world, he could still find a master or fellow practitioners to ask for guidance.

But now, he has to figure it out on his own.

These two terms have also appeared in other chapters of Taoist texts.

But each time it was just mentioned in passing.

The operating steps have never been explained in detail.

Just as Bai Sheng was racking his brains for a solution, a sudden inspiration struck him.

Could it be that...?

The riddle lies in the surface of the riddle...

Since it is said that "condensing qi is like refining steel,"

Then let's just find out how steel is actually made!

He picked up his phone and searched for modern steelmaking processes.

After all, he didn't study metallurgy in college, or even engineering.

Bai Sheng began to recall,

If I remember correctly, this seems to be a high school chemistry question.

This is a major chemistry question in the integrated science exam.

Forget it, no more!

The encyclopedia entries for this type of question are clear and easy to understand.

The most crucial step in turning pig iron into steel is removing impurities.

Especially with the video explanations, it's incredibly easy to understand.

Bai Sheng clicked on the encyclopedia video.

In the video,

Steelworkers pour molten iron into the converter.

Insert an oxygen lance from the top.

High-pressure pure oxygen is blown into the molten iron.

The carbon in molten iron undergoes an oxidation reaction with oxygen, producing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that escape...

Impurities such as silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur are also oxidized into slag in the oxygen stream.

After being stripped clean, the molten iron becomes molten steel.

"I see……"

Bai Sheng put down his phone.

I mentally compared the principles of steelmaking with the challenges of gas condensation.

The so-called "true qi" is molten iron, while "impurities" are things like carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, and silicon.

Heart fire—this is rather abstract.

We can only make an assumption for now.

The star wheel in the dantian rotates on its own, generating warmth.

Let's assume this warmth is temperature.

They're only missing one thing now.

That's an oxygen lance.

This substance is a medium that can enter the interior of true qi, react with impurities, and burn the impurities into slag before expelling them.

Where can I find an oxygen gun?

If external oxygen cannot enter the dantian,

Is there a way for the dantian to generate oxygen on its own?

"You can't think of it that way entirely."

If you treat cultivation as simply refining steel, you've fallen into another kind of mental trap.

"We still need to conduct actual research and draw conclusions based on the actual situation."

Bai Sheng tried again to activate the Star Wheel in his dantian, accelerating its circulation.

Carefully observe the reactions within the internal energy.

After the true energy circulated several times in the dantian,

Occasionally, wisps of extremely fine white mist would escape from the edge of the star wheel.

This is the trace of the impurities naturally precipitating out under high temperature.

However, the precipitation rate is too slow.

The fluid that was extracted floated in the dantian and couldn't be expelled.

It's like the impurities peeled off the surface and then stuck back on.

An external force is needed to push this white mist away!

He tried to stimulate his qi and blood.

Squeeze from the inner wall of the dantian towards the center.

Driven by the flow of qi and blood, the white mist gathered into a small cluster at the center of the star wheel.

But instead of disappearing, it gathered and became more concentrated.

"This won't work!"

wrong,

Squeezing can only push impurities deeper into the true qi, but it cannot expel them from the dantian.

Bai Sheng once again tried to draw upon his previous knowledge.

Suddenly, I felt like I had reached another intellectual peak since the college entrance examination.

"How can we get rid of the impurities... centrifugal force, yes, centrifugal force!"

Bai Sheng changed direction.

The True Qi Star Wheel suddenly accelerated.

Centrifugal force is used to throw impurities outward.

I tried it.

The star wheel rotates at high speed.

moment,

A few wisps of white mist were flung onto the inner wall of the dantian.

But not long after,

It was pulled back by the rotating true energy.

Bai Sheng: "..."

My mentality collapsed.

Bai Sheng tossed his phone onto the bed.
