The so-called inner alchemy,
To put it simply, it treated the human body as a "furnace".
Using one's own essence and qi as medicine, using one's spirit to burn and refine.
The essence, qi, and spirit intersected and refined a golden core in his body.
Of course, this was only a narrow way of saying it.
This was because the inner core technique did not necessarily require the body to be used as a furnace to refine a golden core.
He could also use heaven and earth as a furnace to refine his body.
Therefore, according to the difference in the cultivation vessels,
Inner alchemy could be divided into five realms:
The small cauldron used the dantian as the furnace and the sea of qi as the cauldron to refine essence into qi and gather herbs into the cauldron.
The Great Furnace Cauldron used the belly as the furnace and the head as the cauldron to refine Qi and build the foundation.
Body and mind furnace, with the body as the furnace, with the mind as the furnace, the body and mind as one, can produce the Yang God.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron used the Heaven and Earth as a furnace and the human as a cauldron. Heaven and Man were one, and they obtained the fortune of Heaven and Earth.
The Great Void Cauldron used the void and chaos as the cauldron and himself as the cauldron. He was the Great Dao!
These five realms corresponded to the five levels of martial arts cultivation:
Beginner, Small Success, Large Success, Perfection, and Perfection.
Unfortunately,
Danding Sect had already disappeared from history.
External alchemy techniques were scattered among the people while internal alchemy techniques were mostly absorbed by Quan Zhen Sect.
The Pill Cauldron Scripture that Zhou Yuan had bought was only an incomplete copy.
The external pill technique recorded in the external chapter was considered complete.
However, the Inner Pill Technique recorded in the inner chapter was seriously lacking.
Only the first two realms, the Small Furnace and the Great Furnace, were complete!
Half of the Body and Mind Furnace Chapter was preserved.
As for the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Great Void Cauldron, they didn't exist at all.
In fact, this was also a huge gain!
This was because the Body-Mind Furnace was a kind of innate inheritance of the Taoist Faction. It could allow cultivators to enter the Connate Realm and achieve the effect of the Yang God.
Even if a portion of it was missing, Zhou Yuan could still comprehend it with his comprehension ability. It was just that it would take a longer time.
After buying the Pill Cauldron Scripture,
Zhou Yuan continued to stroll around and bought a set of alchemy supplies.
Pill furnaces, pill cauldrons, ores, medicinal herbs…
These were all things that were essential for practicing external alchemy.
After a morning of shopping, he had spent almost all of the ten thousand taels of silver, leaving only a little over a thousand taels of silver.
"It's not unreasonable for wealth to be ranked second.”
Zhou Yuan sighed. Ten thousand taels of silver was not even enough for him to spend.
Although external alchemy was not difficult to learn, it was very costly.
At noon,
The abbot Sanzang and Hua Xiaolan still hadn't returned.
Zhou Yuan then ate a sumptuous lunch at a restaurant outside and experienced the standard of the chefs in Bianjing City.
Halfway there, she saw another villa.
The lake was close to the water, and the environment was quiet.
The area was not small, even bigger than a football field.
Most importantly, the price of this villa was only fifty silver taels!
The reason for the low price was written clearly at the door:
There is evil inside, please do not approach!
There was a seal on the door as a warning.
However, Zhou Yuan was not that afraid.
This was because the Buddhist cultivation technique he cultivated specialized in restraining evil.
Especially the Zen Lotus Technique. It was equivalent to opening a tyrant body for himself, immune to negative effects.
"Buy it first."
Zhou Yuan tore off the seal and handed 50 taels of silver to the yamen official guarding the door.
"Little brother, I really admire your courage. You even dared to buy this house!”
The officer noticed that Zhou Yuan was still young and reminded him,
"I've been guarding this house for ten years. No less than a hundred people wanted to buy it, but they all fled after staying for a night. They were crazy, and some even died here!
Even the authorities haven't investigated clearly. What's strange inside? You have to be careful!”
After the warning, the officer took the money and left.
Zhou Yuan pushed open the door and entered.
He walked into the quiet courtyard.
The decorations inside were very elegant, and the flowers and trees were well-arranged.
A large courtyard was also quite spacious.
Moreover, it looked spotless, as if someone had cleaned it every day.
Zhou Yuan had already faintly sensed the Yin Qi.
Although it was noon, he could still clearly sense it.
There must be something evil in this courtyard!
However, he could not determine which direction it was.
Zhou Yuan did not barge in rashly to avoid being ambushed.
He circulated the Zen Lotus Art and used his martial arts true qi to protect his body.
After entering a meditative state, Zhou Yuan quietly sensed every detail in the courtyard.
Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry to make a move.
Instead, it was a small cauldron that was comprehending the Pill Cauldron Scripture's Inner Elixir Technique.
After all, this courtyard was so quiet and quiet. It was really a good place to cultivate.
There were too many merchants and peddlers in Daxiangguo Temple, making it very noisy. It was not as quiet as this place.
The key to the Inner Elixir Technique was to use the dantian as the furnace and the sea of qi as the cauldron to refine essence into qi and gather herbs into the cauldron.
To put it simply, it was to refine the kidney essence into qi.
The method to refine it was to use a Dao technique and will.
The kidney essence was water, and the will was fire. Water and fire intersected, and Yin and Yang combined. This was the gathering of herbs!
This process happened in his dantian, as if he was refining pills.
That was why it was called a small cauldron!
Four hours later.
A short prompt appeared on the system interface.
"Inner Core Technique, Beginner (Small Furnace)!”
The Small Furnace Tripod was also the entry level of the Inner Elixir Technique.
Zhou Yuan saw the interior of his body.
A huge furnace appeared in his dantian, burning with raging flames.
He refined the kidney essence into qi and gathered it in his sea of vital energy.
This Qi was slightly different from Martial Path True Qi.
It could be understood that it was equivalent to adding Yang qi to the martial arts true qi.
Then, he tempered it in the furnace fire in his dantian.
Therefore, the degree of power was naturally a level higher!
Especially against evil things, it was an overwhelming restraint!
What surprised Zhou Yuan even more was,
The Little Furnace Cauldron Technique actually had a reaction with the Zen Lotus Technique.
Although one was a Dao Sect cultivation technique and the other was a Buddhist Sect cultivation technique,
However, Buddhism and Daoism originated from the same source and were not mutually exclusive.
He carefully observed the interior of his body.
The golden lotus that was born from the Lotus Technique was originally rooted in the dantian.
But now, the golden lotus had been tempered by the fire in his dantian. Not only did it not disappear, but it had grown even stronger.
It looked more like a golden fire lotus.
The fire lotus continued to grow from the position of the heart, along the middle of the conception and governor vessels, it grew another nine inches.
It was almost at his throat.
Of course, this was only the interior. It did not mean that there was a lotus in Zhou Yuan's body.
However, he could clearly feel that his physical body was pure and flawless. It was filled with vitality and was returning to its original state.
He was already very close to entering the Connate Realm!
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
The Yin Qi in the villa was getting stronger and stronger!
The evil thing couldn't hold it in anymore.
Being blocked by a young scholar at the door of his house for half a day was really unbearable!
