Chapter 228 The Three Pure Ones are Primordial Qi 1, and I am also Primordial Qi 1.
Western Liang Women's Kingdom
Imperial Palace Bedchamber
Inside the red gauze curtain
A pair of captivating eyes suddenly opened.
"Brother! It's my brother!"
The sudden commotion inside the tent caused the maids serving nearby to rush over in alarm.
"Your Majesty~Your Majesty~"
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
The Queen looked at the kneeling palace maids and couldn't help but rub her temples.
A female official wearing a sable crown quickly stepped forward to massage the Queen's temples to relax her tense nerves.
"Is Your Majesty having a nightmare?"
The lady-in-waiting spoke gently and kindly, and the Queen, feeling more at ease, replied, "It's not a dream, it's definitely not a dream. I think I have an older brother. I should have an older brother. He treats me very well and cooks all sorts of dishes for me. We've depended on each other since we were little."
The female official was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
elder brother?
In the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, the ability to reproduce depended entirely on praying for children at the ancestral temple and drinking the water of the Zimu River in order to give birth.
She has no man, and the queen was obtained through the efforts of the late king and the ancestral temple. How could she possibly have a brother?
The female official wearing the Diao Chan crown froze in her hand, and the Queen immediately sensed it.
She gave a bitter smile: "You're thinking that the late king couldn't have given birth to a son, so how could I have a brother? Just pretend I'm having a nightmare."
The lady-in-waiting realized that the Queen had discovered her thoughts, and she immediately apologized in fear.
"Alright, I forgive you. Bring me the memorial, and I will continue reviewing it."
...
half an hour later
There was no one around him anymore.
The Queen stared blankly at the memorial, lost in thought.
"If I hadn't been born into an imperial family, I would have gone to find you immediately. But now, if I leave, what will become of the people of this country? Brother, brother~"
...
Except for the Western Liang Women's Kingdom
Suddenly, the calm West Sea surged with waves, and a long, winding figure emerged from the water.
Amidst the pleas and entreaties of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it vanished into the void, heading straight eastward.
In an instant, several streams of energy connected with Chen Fengchao's energy, causing Chen Fengchao, who was obtaining Qi for the first time, to shiver a few times.
"Strange? Why do I feel like I'm being watched?"
Chen Fengchao frowned. The feeling he had just experienced was too strange; it was a feeling he had never had in the previous twenty years.
It was chilling, icy, and carried a hint of hostility, yet also a touch of intimacy.
Chen Fengchao recalled his father telling him about a monkey Taoist who tried to take him away when he was just born.
Immediately, a sense of vigilance arose in my heart.
He studied medicine for over ten years and practiced medicine for more than three years, during which time he witnessed many bizarre and strange things.
I believe in about 70% of the supernatural and ghostly beliefs.
Now that I have suddenly attained enlightenment and grasped the Qi, I am completely convinced.
There must be a reason for this strange feeling.
Unable to find any answers, Chen Fengchao could only speculate about the calamities described in the book.
"Because I have attained Qi and entered the Dao, is this an omen of impending calamity or a sign of impending doom? Never mind, I must have just attained Qi. Whatever it is, if I can refine the Golden Elixir and become an immortal, then any calamity or tribulation will be easily resolved."
Chen Fengchao shook his head and put it aside.
The feeling of having just received Qi made him eager to find out if this Qi was the same Qi he had learned about in his dream.
He quickly immersed himself in the moment again, and once again felt the return of Yang energy.
Soon the heat flow reappeared, the Mysterious Gate of the Female opened again, and a stream of Primordial True Qi entered the body.
It washed over Chen Fengchao's body.
He guided this Qi to circulate along the ecliptic, but it got stuck at the coccyx and wouldn't move.
Chen Fengchao was not in a hurry, only feeling that his Qi was insufficient and that the barriers would open naturally as he gathered more Qi.
After Chen Fengchao finished his practice, he was overjoyed to confirm that he had indeed opened the Mysterious Female Gate and obtained the Primordial True Qi.
"The book says that the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky were all transformed from primordial Qi. The method in the book is also to return to the state of primordial Qi. If I achieve perfect cultivation, wouldn't I be the same as the Three Pure Ones?"
Can I also become one of the Three Pure Ones?
The thought made Chen Fengchao's heart skip a beat.
The so-called attainment of immortality and attainment of the Dao comes first, followed by attainment of the Dao.
Among the five immortals—Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost—the Heavenly Immortal is the most noble and pure. The Golden Elixir Path is precisely the method that leads directly to the Heavenly Immortal Path.
It seems that the Three Pure Ones and the two patriarchs Zhong and Lü were simply exploring the path of celestial immortality more deeply.
I may not necessarily be unable to surpass them.
After thinking it over, Chen Fengchao felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
The Heart Monkey, who had been secretly protecting Chen Fengchao, widened its eyes upon sensing Chen Fengchao's thoughts.
You really dare to dream!
After his initial shock subsided, he gave a self-deprecating laugh, seemingly realizing that his pursuit of the Dao was not as profound as that of the currently clueless Chen Fengchao.
"Having ambition is a good thing; how could I dampen it? Besides, throughout history, people of today have surpassed those of the past. If one doesn't even have the ambition to surpass the ancients, then one won't achieve much on the path of enlightenment!"
After talking to himself, a hint of worry rose in his eyes.
In this life, the primordial spirit failed to awaken, but the conscious spirit grew quite strong.
While the Five Elements theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Elements theory in Taoism share some similarities, they differ in many ways.
In other words, the deity in this lifetime is more prone to developing cognitive biases.
Fortunately, my own understanding of traditional Chinese medicine is so superficial that I haven't gotten too deeply involved.
He originally entered the dream to impart his teachings, having exhausted all his knowledge, but in this life, it seems that the original self has consciously forgotten his restless mind.
He himself clearly manifested and expounded the Tao in his Niwan Palace.
However, the true self only believed that it was something he had read in a dream, and that he himself could not see it at all when he appeared in person.
This is not a good thing.
Taoism has three treasures of teachers, and there is a saying that one cannot attain enlightenment without a teacher.
The fear is that practitioners might stray from the right path.
Previously, I almost accidentally entered that place because I recklessly stirred up the Yin Qi of my liver and kidneys.
My original intention in this life was to be his teacher and guide him in his spiritual practice.
But now it's hard to say.
The restless mind was still pondering.
Then he heard Chen Fengchao's words.
"The 'Guide to Life and Destiny' says that only when the essence of metal and the nature of wood are combined, and water and fire are in harmony, and dragon and tiger unite, can the great elixir of essence be born. But I have never thought carefully about what my true feelings and true nature are. The book always says to understand the mind and see the nature, which sounds simple, but in practice, I have no clue what to do."
Upon hearing Chen Fengchao's words, Xin Yuan laughed.
The book Journey to the West says:
To understand one's true nature, one must experience it and comprehend the meaning of emptiness. Only then can one know its truth and diligently practice it.
Only by understanding the word "ability" can one comprehend the wondrous function of one's true nature and self-nature.
Only by understanding the word "purity" can one restrain the three natures and conceive the sacred embryo.
But in Xinyuan's view, it all boils down to four words: sincerely pursuing the Tao.
Sincerity is easy to say, but not easy to do.
If many people in later generations were to truly gain such power, they might initially have the idea of chivalry and protecting the Earth.
I'm afraid I'll have to give up beef on the second and third day.
Only those who are not swayed by worldly desires and who, even after gaining power, can maintain a heart devoted to the Way, deserve to be called sincere.
While the monkey was still pondering, Chen Fengchao suddenly embraced his spirit and focused his mind inward.
The primordial spirit emitted rays of light, slowly forming a halo behind his head.
A fire of passion arises in the heart, and countless thoughts arise and vanish in the flames.
The primordial spirit and the innate true qi chase and circulate along the ecliptic, driving the flow of Ding fire.
A single stream enters the Niwan Palace to refine the conscious mind and impurities, leaving only the primordial spirit and true nature.
A single passage through the Zhen position merges into the Kun position, where true earth refines true gold and true feelings.
"The Cantongqi contains the mechanism of advancing fire and withdrawing talismans. This time, I will follow its method to refine the Dragon and Tiger Elixir. Once the cauldron is full and balanced, I can advance the fire again to make them intercourse and produce the embryonic essence."
When Chen Fengchao first tried to refine pills, he actually wanted to achieve success in one go and directly refine the Rejuvenating Pill.
Xin Yuan's gaze, which was about to be withdrawn, was instantly drawn to Chen Fengchao, and he stared straight at him.
