The next morning, Qin Guan put on his clothes and got up. After washing up, he walked out of Shuxiang's room and gave Li Yun fifteen taels of silver on the first floor of Cuiyu Building.
After a while, Li Yun came to the "Fragrance Room" and gave five taels of silver to Li Shishi.
"Sister Yun, I want to go to East Taiyi Palace today.”Li Shishi said to Li Yun.
"What are you going there for? That's the royal Taoist temple. Every girl in our 'Emerald Tower' only goes there once in their lives, which is to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones during the coming of age ceremony.”Li Yun hurriedly asked.
"Last night, Godfather Qin chatted with me about the way to become an immortal. I want to start cultivating today. Godfather Qin said that someone in East Taiyi Palace is selling pills. I want to buy two pills to help me cultivate.”Li Shishi replied.
"Hehe, cultivation is not a joke. You can't do that for twelve hours every time you cultivate, or you'll easily go berserk and become a cripple. We've had a few girls who cultivated in the past, and some of them went berserk because they did it with guests within twelve hours. Two of them died the next day, and the others became cripples who couldn't take care of themselves. The girls of our Cuiyu Brothel have to do it with our guests almost every day. Only then can we earn more money. The process of cultivation is very long, and we need to go through about eight stages. Without decades or centuries, we can't reach the immortal realm.”Li Yun said anxiously.
"I promise that if I cultivate, I won't do it with the customers for six hours. Good sister, let me go to East Taiyi Palace to buy some pills!”Li Shishi begged.
Li Yun was kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so he agreed to Shishi Li's request. He walked out of Shuxiang Room and went to the first floor of Cuiyu Building to write the document for Shishi Li to enter East Taiyi Palace.
Li Shishi went to meet Dai Yu 'er and went to the first floor together. She took the document written by Li Yun and walked out of the Jade Tower with Dai Yu' er, heading straight for East Taiyi Palace.
Yesterday, when she went shopping with Dai Yu 'er, Li Shishi had spent five taels of silver, so she still had seven taels of silver left. Including the five taels of silver that Li Yun had given her today, Li Shishi still had twelve taels of silver on her.
When they arrived at East Taiyi Palace, Li Shishi handed the document written by Li Yun to the guard at the gate. The guard took the document and read it carefully before letting them in.
The Hall of Three Pristines was located in the innermost part of East Taiyi Palace. Li Yun had brought Li Shishi there when he held her coming-of-age ceremony. However, the place where the elixir was sold was very close to the gate of East Taiyi Palace. It was a grocery store that displayed all kinds of Taoist supplies.
"Sir, do you have any pills for cultivation?”Li Shishi asked.
"Oh, which stage of cultivation have you reached? I have the medicine for the first five stages.”The grocery store owner replied.
"Yes, I've just started cultivating, starting from the lianqi stage. Yesterday, the customer told me that I should just buy elementary pills.”Li Shishi said.
"Oh, lianqi, right? Beginner pills are two taels of silver each, intermediate pills are five taels of silver each, and high grade pills are ten taels of silver each. How many do you want to buy, miss?”The grocery store owner asked.
"Then buy five. It's exactly ten taels of silver.”Li Shishi replied.
Then, she handed over ten taels of silver and received five elementary pills.
"I only have two taels of silver left. Where should we go?”Shishi Li asked Daiyu.
"Then we can only go to the cosmetic shop." Dai Yuer replied.
Then, she left East Taiyi Palace with Daiyu 'er. They went to the cosmetic shop to buy some cosmetics and then went back to Cuiyu Tower. They had less time to shop today, so it was still noon when they came back.
Qin Guan was going to teach Li Shishi cultivation today. She was waiting for him with great anticipation.
In the afternoon, after dressing up, she went downstairs to wait for Qin Guan.
Soon, Qin Guan arrived at Cuiyu Building with two books in his arms.
Shishi Li hurried to greet Qin Guan when he entered the Jade Building. She took one book from him and read," Qi Refinement Secrets Part One asked,""Godfather Qin, is this the first stage of cultivation, the lianqi stage?”
"Yes, these are the books on the first stage of the Qi Condensation stage. I had someone print a few of them. Come, let's go to your room and talk about it in detail.”Qin Guan said.
They went to Li Shishi's room. As usual, she poured tea for Qin Guan.
"Cultivation is divided into eight stages: the Refinement Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Aurous Core Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, the Deity Transformation Stage, the Form Synthesis Stage, the Great Vehicle Stage, and the Crossing Calamity Stage. The Refinement Stage is the first and most basic stage. It mainly focuses on cultivating the true qi in the body, circulating the dantian, circulating the qi throughout the body, using the will to lead the qi, using the qi as a sword, and using the sword to attack people. The Foundation Establishment Stage is to build a foundation for cultivation in the body. This stage mainly cultivates the method of breathing. The Aurous Core Stage is to cultivate by taking the Aurous Core and combining the internal and external cultivation. Unblocking the Conception and Governor Meridians in my body will allow my Qi and blood to flow more smoothly. If I do that at this stage of cultivation, it is very likely that I will die immediately. I am about to cultivate to this stage, which is the Golden Core stage. The Nascent Soul stage is described in the Tao Te Ching written by the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu. As the world's valley, Changde does not leave, return to the baby.'，In other words, he would get rid of all the filth in his body and cultivate to a state like a baby. At the Soul Formation Stage, he would start to circulate all the genuine Qi in his eight extraordinary meridians to make his whole body appear in a superb state. At the end of the Soul Formation Stage, he would reach the so-called Taoist "True Man" realm. The last three stages were the state of immortal cultivation: the Form Synthesis Stage, the Great Vehicle Stage, and the Crossing Calamity Stage. Few people in the world could cultivate these three stages. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have reached these three stages. I only know that Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, and the others have cultivated these three stages and become immortals. I have never heard of others.”Qin Guan explained the eight stages of cultivation to her in detail. She was fascinated.
Qin Guan then picked up the first volume of Qi Refinement Secrets that Li Shishi had just taken and said to her,"This is the cultivation secret of the lianqi stage, divided into two volumes. Today, I will teach you a simple method of meditating and regulating your breath. You can also cultivate step by step according to the guidance in the book.”
"Okay, then you can teach me how to meditate first!”Li Shishi said to Qin Guan.
"Alright, I'm a little hot after just walking. I'd better take a shower before I cultivate!”Qin Guan said with a smirk.
She started boiling water again, and Qin Guan scooped all the water into the bathtub in the room.
Qin Guan took off his clothes and went into the room to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Qin Guan took her hand and walked to her bed.
However, since they were going to start cultivating today, they didn't dare to do that again.
Li Shishi remembered the pill she bought with Dai Yu 'er in the morning. She took one pill and took it, then sat on the bed.
Qin Guan was already sitting on her bed, holding the first volume of Qi Refinement Secrets.
Qin Guan then taught her how to meditate and regulate her breath. She sat upright on the bed with her hands on her thighs. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she gathered the breath into her Dantian.
Four hours later, Qin Guan told her to stop. She opened her eyes. After two hours of practice, she was sweating profusely. There were beads of sweat on her forehead.
Qin Guan picked up a towel and wiped her sweat. Then he blew out the oil lamp and went to sleep.
