Chapter 241: Mastery
A drizzle was falling.
The raindrops hit the window, making a ticking sound.
In the bedroom, Fang Yi sat cross-legged on the green lotus and performed his daily practice.
"I have been in the fourth stage for a long time, but I still don't understand how to cultivate to the Great Perfection."
Fang Yi thought to himself: "This shouldn't be the case. In the past, each great perfection had a symbolic reminder. Why didn't the fourth perfection have any reminder? It just allowed me to continue to strengthen my golden elixir and reach the point where I could know good and bad fortune."
But how can we know good and bad fortune?
He really didn't know how to do it.
"When the time comes, things will work out. I will continue to strengthen my golden elixir."
Thinking of this, Fang Yi closed his eyes and cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts.
Review the past to learn new things.
Start from the first turn of the exercise.
In his heart flowed the mantra: "The true water of heaven is stored in the gallbladder. When yin and yang are in harmony, it descends and becomes a pill, shaped like a dewdrop..."
Dan Qi circulates continuously in the body.
Fang Yi felt the harmony of the heart fire and kidney water, and wisps of Dan Qi rose and gathered in the Dantian.
Gradually, he forgot his form and everything in the world, and immersed himself in cultivation wholeheartedly.
Suddenly, as I was breathing, I felt energized.
Fang Yi felt that the world, mountains and rivers were within his body, as if everything was under his control.
He naturally put his hand on the computer desk in front of him.
Then, Fang Yi saw a bright golden elixir, as bright as the sun, illuminating his body.
The review was completed quickly.
Fang Yi opened his eyes and rested for a while. "Now I am practicing more and more easily. I can complete one turn by just moving my Qi once. My golden elixir is also growing stronger invisibly. My cultivation is indeed much more advanced."
He felt that this time when he was practicing the first level of his technique, he had a new understanding of cultivation.
Continue to the second turn.
Fang Yi closed his eyes again and cleared his mind.
Practice the second round of exercises.
"The heart is the light of the kidneys, Ding and Ren. The heart belongs to fire, and fire belongs to Yin. It matches the Ding fire of the south, and Ding is the Yin of fire..."
In just a short while, he felt warm in his heart, his whole body was relaxed, his mind was stirred, and a stream of heat flowed into his lower dantian.
The second turn has also been reviewed.
Fang Yi opened his eyes to rest while checking the changes in the golden elixir.
"It seems to have grown stronger. Not only has it grown stronger, the power of the golden elixir seems to have become more refined."
He blinked his eyes. "My cultivation has grown rapidly in recent years, and most of the time I have relied on external forces, such as absorbing the huge energy in the Xiantian Pearl, or directly absorbing the wonderful energy of Xihua for my own use. These can make my golden elixir grow rapidly, but after all, they are external forces, and the energy they increase is not as pure as my own cultivation. Now I am reviewing it again, and I have purified the power unknowingly."
It really takes practice.
Sometimes it may not be possible to make the golden elixir grow too much, but practicing again and again will make the golden elixir more solid.
Fang Yi had a feeling that when he reviewed the first and second turns just now, although the amount of Dan Qi did not increase much, the quality was improved a lot.
"Continue to review the third turn."
He closed his eyes again, recalling the formula of the technique in his mind: "When the inner Yin is sufficient, it circulates with the heaven and earth. The real elixir suddenly flows from the dantian into the left side, and sweat flows from the whole body to remove the corpse qi..."
Two streams of Dan Qi were born in the body, one went up to the top of the head, and the other went to the coccyx.
The two streams of Dan Qi circulated 7749 times.
Fang Yi was sweating all over, and a feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
Accompanied by a stream of hot air hitting the dantian and making a slight shaking sound, the third turn was reviewed and completed.
Maybe the feeling came.
This time Fang Yi did not stop to rest, but directly practiced the fourth level of the technique.
He clicked his teeth thirty-six times, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and held his nose.
Fang Yi made sure that there was no breath coming in or out of his nose, and he remained calm and motionless.
When his true Qi was full, the Dan Qi penetrated the tongue, and the Huachi saliva filled his mouth and was about to overflow, Fang Yi swallowed it slowly and felt relieved.
The divine water reached the heart and aroused the divine fire.
Fang Yi felt his five internal organs heating up, and the sweat he produced from his body became more and more intense. He was completely immersed in the utmost wonder.
There was fire spurting out of his nose.
The whole bedroom was brightly lit by the firelight.
Fang Yi saw snowflakes flying in front of his eyes, the chimney door opened by itself, and everything in front and behind moved.
This ball of bright light rose to three inches above the top of the door and spread out, transforming into a fairyland surrounded by white clouds.
There are cranes flying in the fairyland.
The fire dragon is hovering on the pillars of the pavilion.
Every inch is a layer of red building.
The light turned into a ball of light on the top of the red building.
Endless light hung down from above, covering his entire body.
Fang Yi had experienced this before and knew that this was the opening of the top door, preparing for the future entry and exit of the yang spirit.
At the same time, his "consciousness" was rising with the light, from the bedroom to the sky, from the sky to beyond the nine heavens, then to the vast universe, and finally he saw the endless starry sky again.
The kind of trajectory that stars follow.
The particle structure of everything.
Scene after scene is embedded in consciousness.
The last time I absorbed the wonderful energy of Xihua, my cultivation level was greatly improved, but unfortunately I did not achieve the unity of man and nature.
Fang Yi never thought that this time of reviewing and practicing, he would inadvertently enter this wonderful state again.
The magical energy field deep in the starry sky vaguely broke into consciousness.
Although the energy field structure flashed by just like before, Fang Yi managed to remember two-tenths of the energy field structure.
Soon, consciousness returned.
Fang Yi felt powerless.
He opened his eyes with a look of joy on his face. "This time I actually remembered two-tenths of the energy field structure. Counting the four-tenths I remembered before, I now remember six-tenths of the structure of this energy field. I think if I can enter the state of unity between man and nature one or two more times, I will be able to remember the structure completely."
Perhaps it is because I remember more and more parts of the energy field structure.
Fang Yi actually had a feeling that he could vaguely sense the future.
"I have a feeling that this exploration of the universe may bring me great benefits."
He didn't know what he would discover in the universe.
But that feeling of "foreknowledge" in advance made him want to explore it immediately.
"This time, I have been in harmony with nature for about two and a half days. I still have half a day to use. I will first recover my Dan Qi and then rush back to the South China Sea to reunite with everyone else."
Fang Yi was preparing to recover his Dan Qi.
Suddenly, he froze there.
"Wait a minute. In the past, after I entered the state of unity between man and nature, I had no idea how much time had passed. How could I know the time this time?"
Fang Yi suddenly thought that ever since he first entered the state of unity between man and nature in Huangshan and observed that special energy field in the endless starry sky, he had gradually acquired some ability of "pre-perception".
He had a bold guess in his mind, "Could it be that this energy field is different from the energy fields I have obtained from various divine realms in the past, and does not require simulation and construction. As long as it can be observed, it can comprehend some incredible magical powers from it? Is it just because I don't understand the complete structure of the energy field that I can only use it passively?"
Fang Yi once again recalled the introduction to the Great Perfection in the fourth turn of Chen Xiansheng's Inner Alchemy Secret: "After the fourth turn, when the yin and yang qi are sufficient, one can sit upright and rest. The inner alchemy divine light will come out from the top of the head like a bright moon, covering the body. The mind will travel inside and outside, coming in and out freely. Sitting in the room, one can know the disasters and blessings thousands of miles away. This is called the achievement of wonderful use."
Could it be that...
As long as I can fully observe the structure of this energy field, it will be considered the fourth level of perfection?
And wanting to observe the structure of that energy field is related to the power of the golden elixir?
Fang Yi recalled that when he first observed this energy field, his golden elixir's power had barely reached the point where it could destroy an area of four kilometers in radius. The second time he entered the state of unity between man and nature, his golden elixir's power soared to the point where it could destroy an area of about twenty kilometers in radius.
There were several more improvements afterwards, but he did not judge how much damage he could cause by bursting out with all his strength.
However, Fang Yi estimated that after absorbing Xihua's most wonderful energy, the power he could unleash at full force should be able to destroy an area within a radius of thirty to forty kilometers.
"Could it be that my current strength has increased by about twice compared to when I was in the Zhang family's basement, so I observed that energy field again?"
Fang Yi estimated, "If we follow this trend, the next time I observe the energy field, the power should be twice as strong, which means that the full-strength burst should at least destroy everything within a radius of 80 kilometers. By that time, I should be able to observe 80% or 90% of the total energy field structure. If I want to observe it all, the destructive range of my golden elixir's full-strength burst may reach about 150 kilometers."
He finally understood why there was no sign of the fourth great perfection.
In other words, the sign of Great Perfection had already been clearly stated in Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secrets.
It is to remember the structure of that energy field completely.
In short, one needs to strengthen one's golden elixir to the point where it can destroy an area of about 150 kilometers.
Fang Yi was a little puzzled, "Why does the fourth transformation require such a huge increase in the power of the golden elixir?"
From destroying an area of two kilometers in radius to suddenly increasing it to a radius of one hundred and fifty kilometers?
He suddenly thought of something and immediately recalled the contents of the fifth turn.
The fifth transformation is also divided into four levels, namely traveling around the world when awake and knowing where one is when asleep, going and staying without action and walking freely, raising a baby as big as a foot inside, and burning the purple palace on Ghost Mountain.
But in fact, the first three levels are all preparations for cultivating the Yang God.
Only the fourth level is related to the physical body.
"The Yang God is like the sun, possessing the power of a star. The fifth transformation requires the fusion of the golden elixir and the primordial spirit, and then further refinement, to make the Yang God so powerful."
Fang Yi understood, "If the power of the golden elixir is very weak, even if it is integrated with the primordial spirit, it is impossible to burst out the power of the stars. Therefore, the fourth and fifth turns are the key watersheds of cultivation. Only when the power of the golden elixir is strong enough can the primordial spirit be tempered into a Yang God?"
No wonder!
No wonder the fourth transformation requires a mad effort to increase the power of the golden elixir.
It turns out that it was for the purpose of cultivating Yang Shen!
"It seems that I must proceed step by step and train my strength to be more pure and solid, so that I can avoid many detours when tempering my Yang Spirit."
Fang Yi figured out how to truly achieve the fourth level of perfection, and his mood suddenly became peaceful.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, or perhaps because his mind had calmed down, but he felt that his control over his current power had become perfect.
Fang Yi's eyes became determined. "When I return from this exploration of the universe, I will definitely improve my cultivation to the fourth level of perfection. By then... I will not be too far away from cultivating the Yang God!"
