Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

This is the skill of producing Yang Shen.

Zi Yang's yang soul escaped and hid in the valley, while Zi Yang's physical body was suppressed by a huge rock and sank deeply into the mud.

Zi Yang, who was hiding in Tongtian Valley and staying far away from the entrance, stood there for a long time with a grim expression on his face. Finally, he turned around and went back into the valley.

Without his physical body, he could not break through the sealing stone that could not enter the entrance with only his yang spirit.

Fu Yuan did not rush back, but stayed beside the sealing stone to see what would happen next.

Under the current circumstances, Zi Yang's Yang God will either wait for his spirit to dissipate, or annihilate his primordial spirit, accept the position of god with his spirit, and transform into a mountain god... However, with no one to offer sacrifices and incense, he will eventually perish.

With the strength of a Yang God, he could probably hold out for over a hundred years, and a God without incense could probably only hold out for that long...

No matter what choice he makes, Ziyang only has a hundred years left.

……

Fu Yuan waited at the entrance for about three years before he saw Zi Yang again... a young man in his twenties!

If Fu Yuan hadn't known that Zi Yang was the only one in the valley, and that his immortal aura remained unchanged, he would have almost failed to recognize him.

Zi Yang actually condensed a new body!

But if you think about it, you can understand that the Sanyi Sect can reverse the physical body into Qi. Zi Yang, who has already become an immortal, can naturally use Qi to condense the physical body.

But this body, no matter how you look at it, is just that of a mortal.

And it also carries the immortal's Yang Spirit... The burden is too heavy, and this body is destined to be unable to grow!

Only the immortal's physical body can carry the immortal's yang spirit.

Zi Yang's new body was unable to cultivate, and it only prolonged the time Zi Yang could hold on by the lifespan of a mortal.

The more than one hundred years of Yang Shen, plus the life span of a mortal, exactly corresponds to the remaining time of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Is everything within Wang Anshi's calculations?

Fu Yuan was shocked, but he just observed Zi Yang silently.

Zi Yang was probably well aware of his situation and did not try to leave the valley. Instead, he used his fingers as knives and began to carve in the long and narrow Tongtian Road.

The textures in the Twenty-Four Section Valley began to slowly appear.

The textures engraved by Zi Yang may seem meaningless, but the immortal meaning within them contains the true path to the Golden Elixir!

Lower the dan, have intercourse, nourish yang, nourish yin!

This is the skill of "refining essence into qi", which uses the immortal meaning in the texture as a guide to activate the innate qi in the human body and run the small circulation.

In the path of the golden elixir, this is called "small medicine", also called the jade liquid elixir, which is the three treasures of the human body, essence, energy and spirit.

The so-called small means that the medicinal properties are not pure enough and the medicinal power is insufficient.

Zi Yang spent twenty years carving patterns all over the cliffs of Tongtian Valley. He then said to Fu Yuan, who was guarding the entrance, "A dying man's words are always kind. I will leave my inheritance in the valley, hoping that someone with a destiny will obtain it!"

Fu Yuan just smiled and didn't answer.

He just watched silently as Zi Yang transformed the valley step by step.

In Tongtian Valley, people "transform essence into qi", and in the caves that are interconnected, people "transform qi into spirit".

Changing bones, flesh, and internal organs is commonly known as the Great Circulation. The medicine produced is called "Great Medicine", which is also called the Best Medicine.

Because the great medicine is in the state of great circulation when it is produced, and because after obtaining the great medicine and taking it successfully, life can be regenerated, just like the immortality of gold, it is also called the Golden Elixir.

Finally, a secret room was set up in the deepest cave in the valley, with scriptures engraved on it for practicing the skills of returning to emptiness and merging with the Tao.

Nurture the fire and ascend.

When the state of practice enters the "Golden Elixir" also known as the Great Circulation, the "Ten Months of Pregnancy" stage, the internal view of the human body will show the golden light of the "Golden Elixir" formed in the Dantian. This is the Golden Elixir Avenue!

The Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir: The first transformation is to lower the elixir, the second transformation is for sexual intercourse, the third transformation is for nourishing yang, the fourth transformation is for nourishing yin, the fifth transformation is for transforming bones, the sixth transformation is for transforming flesh, the seventh transformation is for transforming the five internal organs, the eighth transformation is for nurturing fire, and the ninth transformation is for ascension.

Fu Yuan just watched Zi Yang engrave the inheritance of the Golden Elixir Avenue in the valley bit by bit.

As for whether it is true or not... Fu Yuan is not a Jindan cultivator, so he cannot judge.

He wouldn't believe it anyway.

Chapter 100 End

Zi Yang created the true Golden Elixir by integrating the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He could have ascended to become an immortal, but ended up being trapped and died.

Was it unfair? In Ziyang's view, it was certainly unfair and aggrieved, and he probably wanted to cut Wang Anshi into pieces.

But from Wang Anshi's perspective, he needs a certain transcendent will to stay here and guard the lost national destiny of the Song Dynasty. As for who this consciousness comes from... who cares!

This is the true meaning of "living for the people". I am only responsible for throwing the bait, and it is up to you whether the fish bites the hook or not... I am only responsible for making the rules. If you follow them, you can survive. If you don't, you will not survive. Then it is up to you whether you respect them or not.

I was stupid enough to take the bait, who can I blame?

This is what Confucianism is.

……

Zi Yang transformed the valley step by step, from a young man, to a middle-aged man, and finally to an old man...

Fu Yuan was very curious, what would Zi Yang choose after this body died?

Become a god? Or continue to waste time?

Fu Yuan stood at the entrance of the valley, looking into the cave in the valley. The old Zi Yang was sitting on the stone platform, dying. His body had reached its limit.

Perhaps sensing the approach of death, Ziyang's emotions finally erupted at the last moment, and he roared at the top of his lungs: "Wang Anshi! You lied to me..."

"Confucian cultivators, all deserve to die!"

After he finished speaking, the old body quickly turned into a pile of rotten bones and scattered on the ground.

Zi Yang's Yang Shen did not appear, but directly turned into countless points of light, scattered in every corner of the valley.

Fu Yuan was stunned for a moment, blinked, and was a little confused.

The power of immortals is still beyond comprehension.

Zi Yang neither chose to inherit the throne nor to linger in the state of Yang Shen... He directly made himself "in harmony with the Tao"!

He merged his yang spirit into the entire valley, used the valley as his body, and transformed his "intention" into the valley.

The entire valley has been transformed by Zi Yang, and the textures on Tongtian Valley are also filled with Zi Yang's fairy spirit... He made himself the way of heaven in this valley!

A Taoist immortal actually chose Confucian means at the last moment and established his mind for this valley.

This would allow his "intention" to last forever, but...

The meaning of Yueyang Tower is "to worry about the world before you enjoy the world", what does it have to do with Fan Zhongyan's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness?

Could it be that Fan Zhongyan’s “true nature” still remains in Yueyang Tower?

In other words, Zi Yang now only has the immortal "intention" of existence, and the rest is neither happy nor sad, without thoughts or worries, without objects or self...

Well, hatred is also "intention", and there is also hatred towards Confucian practitioners!

Fu Yuan sighed slightly and took another step back...

……

Inside the cave, Fu Yuan knelt on one knee, holding the hilt of the sword inserted into the stone platform, and opened his eyes.

Letting go of the hilt and standing up, Fu Yuan took a step back, sighed, and said to Chen Duo, "Let's go."

Chen Duo had already woken up from his epiphany and curiously asked, "You don't want your sword anymore?"

Fu Yuan shook his head and said, "Just stay here and suppress it. If that hatred gets out, I won't be able to live peacefully in this valley."

As he spoke, he took a deep look at the stone platform and walked towards the depths.

Chen Duo quickly followed and asked curiously, "What happened just now?"

Fu Yuan: "Nothing, just read a story... How much time has passed?"

Chen Duo thought for a moment and said, "Less than ten minutes."

"Not bad." Fu Yuan nodded, then looked at Chen Duo and said, "Looking at you like this, you must have gained a lot, right?"

Chen Duo smiled. This was her first time smiling, and her smile was pure. She said, "I seem to understand some things, such as happiness and worry... I was very worried just now, but now I'm very happy."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear, and shock are all natural emotions that emanate from human nature. The fact that you can understand these things means that the consciousness that was once erased has been restored... Where is the original Gu?"

Chen Duo raised a hand, black energy swirling around his palm, and said, "I can control it perfectly... The erosion on my body has also stopped."

Fu Yuan warned: "The original Gu will corrode itself, so you must always use your will to cleanse your Qi and make your Qi completely submit to your will, so that it will not recur."

Chen Duo: "Yeah, I know."

Now Fu Yuan is as familiar with this valley as anyone else. He can walk around with his eyes closed and does not need to identify directions in the caves that are interconnected.

Go straight to the last cave.

The cave here is not airtight. Sunlight shines down from above. The inside is empty, with only an oil painting left.

Fu Yuan sighed and said, "I'm a step late."

Chen Duo checked around and said, "There used to be a lot of stuff piled up here, but now it's all been cleared out... They're so quick."

Fu Yuan curled his lips and said, "If I have a magic weapon, I can just collect it."

I think it's called "phagocyst", right?

Chen Duo squatted in front of the painting and said, "I know this person, Feng Baobao...but this painting must have been from a long time ago."

"Don't worry about that." Fu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Come, stand here and practice Qi."

Chen Duo obediently stood over and walked...

no response!

Fu Yuan sighed and said, "Sure enough."

Chen Duo asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Fu Yuan stamped his feet and said, "There should be a secret room here, but we can't open it... Only the innate Qi can open it."

Chen Duo's innate Qi has been transformed into primitive Gu.

Fu Yuan, on the other hand, represents the righteous qi. If he were to be stripped of that innate qi, it would be equivalent to abandoning Confucianism and practicing Taoism.
