Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 31 The Five Internal Organs and Five Spirits, and the Method of Opening Acupoints.

Chen Qing explained the Way of the Physical Body, and this explanation took several months.

He explained the path of the physical body from the inside out, including how to cultivate, break through limits, and nourish the physical body, all in a very clear manner.

The six girls—Sanxiao, Hanzhixian, Shiji, and Caiyunxianzi—listened to Chen Qing's explanation with bright eyes, but they also had questions.

Seeing that Chen Qing had stopped explaining, he immediately raised his own questions.

"Nephew Chen Qing, I don't know how to judge the limits of flesh and blood."

Fairy Caiyun looked at Chen Qing and expressed her confusion.

Chen Qing glanced at Fairy Caiyun and then began to explain calmly.

"Uncle Caiyun, the limits of flesh and blood need to be sensed by oneself. You can sense it every time you temper it. When you temper it to the point that you can no longer bear it, you can stop. When the flesh and blood change, that is when you have reached your limit."

"Similarly, the same applies to one's own meridians and bones. Once changes occur, it means that the limit has been reached. At this point, it is necessary to break through the limit. If the limit is broken, the first stage of cultivation can be completed. Next, it is to temper one's own internal organs."

After listening to Chen Qing's explanation, Fairy Caiyun stopped asking questions and began to ponder.

Beside her, Shi Ji looked at Chen Qing and raised her doubts.

"How should one cultivate the five internal organs and six bowels? To what extent should one cultivate to be considered to have perfected cultivation?"

Chen Qing listened to Shi Ji's question, glanced at Shi Ji, and then began to answer it.

"Cultivating the five internal organs requires integrating the five innate spiritual objects, and these five innate spiritual objects must be of equal quality and cannot differ too much. Otherwise, the imbalance of the five elements will lead to a serious deficiency of one of the five elements. If the five elements cannot be perfected, the physical body will not be perfected."

"After the five internal organs are integrated with the innate spiritual objects of the five elements, they need to be constantly tempered with these innate spiritual objects. Once the tempering is complete, the gods of the five elements can be condensed."

"When the Five Elements Gods reside in the Five Organs, the Five Elements are in perfect balance, and the Five Qi circulates, they can then feed back to the Six Bowels. In this way, the Five Organs and Six Bowels can achieve perfect cultivation."

Shi Ji listened to Chen Qing's explanation, nodded, and then began to ponder.

Chen Qing didn't care how they obtained these innate five elemental spiritual objects. He had already said what he needed to say, and whether they could find them depended on their own fate.

Han Zhixian looked at Chen Qing and immediately spoke.

"Junior Nephew Chen Qing, after your physical body has reached perfection, how do you break through the limits and achieve a breakthrough?"

Chen Qing glanced at Han Zhixian, then nodded and smiled.

"Uncle-Master Hanzhi, once the physical body is perfected, you need external help to break through the limits. If you have a powerful external force to help you, you can complete the breakthrough."

"This external force can be man-made or the power of heaven and earth. As for how to choose, that depends on how our senior uncles choose."

"Of course, this process is extremely dangerous. If you can get through it, you can break through your limits. If you can't, you may suffer serious injuries."

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Han Zhixian immediately pressed for an answer.

"What constitutes human intervention, and what constitutes external force? Which is easier to achieve?"

After listening to Han Zhixian's words and pondering for a moment, Chen Qing slowly spoke.

"If it is done by human intervention, one can find a fellow practitioner to temper oneself using alchemy techniques. One can also have this fellow practitioner attack oneself with one's own power. Once one reaches one's limit, one can then attempt to break through."

"As for the power of heaven and earth, it is nothing more than heavenly thunder, gale, heavy water and so on, but these are things that you need to grasp yourself, Uncle. After all, the power of heaven and earth is beyond my control."

Han Zhixian listened to Chen Qing's words, nodded solemnly, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you for your explanation, junior brother. If it weren't for your generosity in explaining the path of physical cultivation to us, we probably wouldn't be able to start physical cultivation now."

"Moreover, there are many twists and turns in the path of physical cultivation. If we are not careful, we will make mistakes. Even if we start cultivating, we will not go far without the experience shared by our junior brother."

Chen Qing listened to Han Zhixian's words and smiled calmly, waving his hand.

"Uncle-Master, please don't flatter me like that. I can't accept such words from you."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhixian immediately smiled calmly.

"You are worthy of this honor, junior nephew. In the cultivation of the Great Dao, you are ahead of us. In the future, we will need your guidance."

"I have already gained a lot from hearing my junior nephew's explanation of the physical body. If you ever have any questions about the primordial spirit in the future, please feel free to ask me. I will answer you to the best of my ability."

Chen Qing smiled upon hearing this but remained silent.

Because the path of primordial spirit he cultivates is different from that of Han Zhixian and the others, how could Han Zhixian and the others possibly answer his questions?

However, he did not refute such well-intentioned words.

Han Zhixian and the others looked at the Three Immortals and immediately spoke.

"Senior Sister Yunxiao, Senior Sister Qiongxiao, Senior Sister Bixiao, I have gained a lot from this trip to the Three Immortal Islands, but I am preparing to return to the Daoist temple for secluded cultivation, so I will not disturb you any longer."

The Three Immortals nodded in agreement as they listened to Han Zhixian and the others.

"Since you are returning to the dojo, I will not try to stop you any longer. After returning to the dojo, you should focus on your cultivation and break through your current realm as soon as possible."

After listening to Yunxiao's words, Hanzhixian, Shiji, and Caiyunxianzi solemnly agreed. After exchanging pleasantries, they left.

Chen Qing watched the three of them leave. After they left the island, he looked at the Three Immortals and spoke again.

"Teacher, Aunt Qiongxia, Aunt Bixiao, I just held back some knowledge about the cultivation of the physical body. Please do not blame me."

The three immortals listened to Chen Qing's words with their usual calm expressions.

They knew perfectly well that Chen Qing had already done more than enough by explaining so much. Although they were from the same sect, Chen Qing's relationship with the three of them was only so-so, and it was normal for him to hold back some information.

"Teacher, in the cultivation of the physical body, there are also the three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints and forty-eight thousand hidden acupoints throughout the body. If you complete the cultivation of all of them, you can greatly enhance your physical strength."

The Three Immortals listened to Chen Qing's words without speaking, but waited for Chen Qing to continue.

After glancing at the three of them, Chen Qing spoke again.

"Cultivating the major acupoints is like cultivating the main star of a star. If a deity is gathered to sit in one of them, one can enhance one's physical strength. Moreover, the major acupoints are interconnected and form a whole."

"Similarly, the same applies to the forty-eight thousand hidden acupoints; all that is needed is to condense a deity to reside within them."

Chen Qing began to explain in detail how to open one's own acupoints, how to gather spiritual energy, and how to connect one's major acupoints together.

The three Xiao sisters listened to Chen Qing's explanation with shock in their eyes. They never expected that Chen Qing would keep such a top-secret method.
