At midnight, Baoyu and Xianglian went to their master's stone room together. At this time, the vast monk had gone on a tour. Only the Taoist Master Miaomiao was sitting quietly on the wooden couch in the room. Xiang Bao and the Taoist Master did not dare to disturb him. They only stood in front of the couch and waited quietly. After a while, Master Daoist Miaomiao slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the two of them here, he said,"All of you have completed your meditation and are about to enter the cultivation furnace. You must know that entering the path is not easy, but guarding the path is even more difficult. The Tao Te Ching says,'Know the white and guard the black, know the male and guard the female', this is said on the path of cultivation, not on the road of the world. You are still fierce in your path, but I'm afraid you haven't defended the path firmly. If you can't defend it, all your efforts will be wasted. You must pay attention.”Xiang and Bao quickly agreed and remembered it in their hearts.
Spiritual Master Miaomiao then took out a secret book, which contained the key points of alchemy. How to place the furnace, how to reconcile the pit, how to subdue dragons and tigers, and how to extract lead and add mercury. He pointed at each layer. Xiang and Bao both understood, and the Immortal said,"From today onwards, you two will start to refine this technique from the beginning. After a hundred days have passed and the inner core is complete, you can continue to refine the outer core. You are smart, and every bit of intelligence is a bit more demonic. Not only could he not rely on himself, but he had to put himself in danger everywhere. Only when one's heart and body were condensed, one's flesh and bones were fused, one's stealth was not empty, and one's fire was not hot could one be considered mature!”He also instructed that the medicine used in the External Elixir was nothing more than realgar water, alunite water, Rong salt, bittern salt, refined vermicelli, oyster, red halloysite, chalk, Hu powder, etc. There was nothing precious or rare. It turned out that this was the ancient method of concocting the Hua First Pill. This pill had the greatest effect. After taking it for seven days, one could ascend to immortality. Xiang and Bao remembered it.
From then on, he worked on a daily basis. Sometimes he went out to pick herbs, relying on the fact that both of them were proficient in swordsmanship.
Spiritual Master Miaomiao gave Baoyu a Hibiscus Sword for self-defense, so snakes, tigers, and poisonous insects wouldn't attack him. He had finally endured for a hundred days, and he had refined his Embryonic Breathing and completed his cultivation. He had actually formed his Inner Core. They told the Immortal, and the Immortal was happy for them.
Then he set up the cauldron, put in all the herbs, sealed it with mud, and then refined it with true fire. Baoyu and Xianglian each guarded a furnace and sat there all night. They had to wait for thirty-six days before they could form pills. Gradually after half a month, lead and mercury were legal, and they were regulated. At first, the flame was red, but now it was yellow, purple, green, and green. Daoist Master Miaomiao had come to visit them twice, and now that Vast Monk had returned, they had come to visit together once more. Both of them were happy for them. Daoist Master was someone who had experienced it and knew the key to alchemy. He was so anxious that he felt worried when he was about to succeed. In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. The fire in the pill furnace was less mottled and more green.
Baoyu pondered in his heart. Half of the time had passed and he was rejoicing. That night, he meditated beside the furnace and guarded the Origin Pass. His heart was as still as water. He sat until midnight, when suddenly, as if the sky was shaking and an earthquake was happening, the stone room was about to collapse, pressing down on his body! Baoyu stood still with rapt attention. It's back to normal.
After a while, he heard the howling of a wolf and the roar of a tiger. He poked his head into the stone room's window hole, his eyes ferocious and his teeth grinding. His shape was terrifying! Another huge wolf came in through the window and opened its mouth to devour him! Baoyu knew that it was an illusion and was unmoved.
Suddenly, Beiming hurriedly came over and greeted,"Second Master is right here! I can't find it there. Just now, Duke Beijing sent the chief historian to say that the Emperor saw the Second Master's articles and was very appreciative. His Highness also made a guarantee and the Emperor immediately issued an edict to award the Second Master the position of Hanlin Scholar. The Old Master told the Second Master to return to the residence immediately and wait for them to go to court to thank him.”Baoyu saw through Ming Xin for a long time, but still sat down and ignored him. Beiming left.
Then he saw Taoist Zhang standing in front of him, holding a lacquer plate in his hand, covered with a goose yellow silk bundle, full of precious gold and jade. Baoyu had never liked these things and only found them disgusting. Taoist Zhang said," This isn't an ordinary thing. There's a golden qilin. The sect knows that it's brother's favorite, so it wasn't easy to find it." There is also a jade lock with eight characters carved on it. Miss Lin is short this one. Please accept it and give it to him to wear.”Baoyu did not care and sat there as usual. Daoist Zhang also went.
He also saw Qin Zhong getting beaten up badly and complaining about how Jin Rong bullied him. He told Jia Rui, but Jia Rui helped Jin Rong, shut the door and beat him up, asking Baoyu to help him vent his anger. He saw Fangguan running in front of him. His godmother was chasing after him with a walking stick and cursing. Fangguan cried and ran to Baoyu."Second Master, save me. My godmother wants to kill me!”Then, he saw the beautiful girl walking over gracefully and saying,"That time, when you fell into the maze, my sister even blamed me! Don't be obsessed, come with me to see my sister.”Baoyu only made up his mind and insisted on not moving.
Then, he disappeared.
After a while, Jin Chi 'er tearfully told him that she jumped into the well for him, and Qingwen told him that she was driven away. She said,""Look! I'm still wearing the pine flower jacket that I changed into that year.”Baoyu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped Zhu Qingwen. He followed Xiren and said,"Second Master, you're so cruel. You threw me down and left. I've served you for so many years, and I haven't done anything wrong. If you want to fight to the death, but also afraid of being laughed at, you promised me to sit in a sedan chair for eight people in the future, now that you have left home, where can I sit?”Baoyu was angry and ignored him even more. "If you ignore me, I'll have other ideas. Don't blame me!"”Then, he left.
He heard Ying 'er's voice again."Didn't Second Master want to ask about our Young Lady's special benefits? Let me tell you, no one would have such a thing. Let me talk about the first thing first: if he takes the Cold Fragrance Pill, the fragrance that comes out from his skin will be better than any orchid. Second Master knows that I'm not lying, right?”Baoyu's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed the button again, keeping his calm. Ying 'er said,"Second Master, come with me to a quiet place. I'll tell you more about those two things. Don't call the monks."Brother Bao, what pill are you concocting? What Dao are you cultivating? Lao Tzu was the ancestor of Taoism. He only said,'Self-transformation without doing anything, pure and upright.'In the Han Dynasty, Gu Shui put it even better: "Yellow smelting changes and so on, Mian is a traitor who deceives the public, and can not be caught."'You don't even know this, and you want to become an immortal?”It sounded like Baochai's tone when she was not married. Seeing that Baoyu was ignoring her, she said,"Second Master, since we are husband and wife, I will rely on you for the rest of my life." You're a smart person, but you know that cultivating the Way of the Immortal and the Way of the Buddha has to start from the roots. Since ancient times, was there anyone who could become an immortal or Buddha by abandoning ethics? Although I'm not a big deal, you have to think about Master and Madam. Master wants you to be an adult, and Madam only dotes on you for the rest of her life. You haven't repaid her yet. Could you bear to leave them behind? Is this reasonable?" Hearing this, Baoyu guarded Dingyuan Pass even more, pretending not to hear or see. Silence.
