Taoist alchemy is actually divided into two types: inner alchemy and external alchemy. The method of using a cauldron to temper heavenly materials, earthly treasures, grass, wood, and crystals with the fire of civil and military forces, and condense them into elixirs is called external alchemy. People often call it external alchemy.

Taoists who make alchemy are called alchemists. In order to realize their dreams of immortality, many great kings in ancient times liked or were willing to take the elixirs specially refined by alchemists. The most representative one is the

The First Emperor who conquered the Great Wall.

Back then, in order to achieve immortality, he sent out the alchemist Xu Fu and led a fleet with three thousand boys and girls to go to sea to find the illusory abode of the gods, in order to obtain the elixir given by the immortals.

The origin of Qinhuangdao begins with that legend. According to legend, it was there that the First Emperor personally sent the alchemist Xu Fu out to sea to find immortals. Unfortunately, the great dream of the First Emperor came to nothing in the end.

Many great emperors of later generations also followed in their footsteps, and there were not a few who died suddenly due to heavy metal poisoning after taking so-called elixirs. Those who died from elixirs were not only His Majesty the Emperor who protected himself with dragon energy;

There were those Taoist priests who were refining elixirs. An elixir furnace exploded without understanding the high temperature. After learning a bloody lesson, the clever Taoist priests miraculously discovered the existence of gunpowder.

From then on, in the mainland of China, which was protected by God, in order to exaggerate the peace of the world and the prosperity of the country and the people, colorful fireworks roared into the sky in the blue night sky, and a sea of ​​gorgeous flowers bloomed in an instant.

In fact, how does the world know that mere mortals with flesh and blood bodies can refine those elixirs that contain extremely powerful spiritual energy? Moreover, those alchemists who refine elixirs are just mortals in the world of mortals. The elixirs inherited from Taoism

There is nothing wrong with medicine. What is wrong is that mortals make medicines for mortals to eat. It is human beings who are wrong. The only thing that is ridiculous is the stupid human beings.

Real elixirs are made by real gods, and are prepared for those cultivators who have stepped into the innate world. We mortals are all acquired cultivators. If we don’t build a foundation for cultivation and don’t step into the innate world, we still try to live forever. Isn’t it nonsense and just wishful thinking?

You can become immortal by taking a pill, but you want to take a shortcut. This is the root of greedy human stupidity. The kings who have gone away want to be powerful and powerful in the world, but also want to live forever and enjoy prosperity. Isn’t that too much?

Much more, as Lao Guo said, 'A brother from the Northeast went to burn incense and worship Buddha. He prayed devoutly and asked the Buddha to bless him safely and smoothly, and at the same time bless him to win a lot of money playing mahjong. Isn't this nonsense?

You think of Buddha as your Sunday." The world is unkind and treats all things like cud dogs. The saints are unkind and treat the common people as cud dogs. Above the thousands of people, the emperors and kings who are above us are just cud dogs in the eyes of heaven.

Just a dog.

In fact, the elixirs tempered by external substances can only assist the cultivator in the initial cultivation. Later, the cultivator will definitely practice the more complex and mysterious inner alchemy. Inner alchemy is the step into innate cultivation.

The process of using oneself as a cauldron to gather the innate chaotic energy and condensing the inner elixir in the lower Dantian is quite a long process. If there is no chance given by God's preference, those who can cultivate the elixir step by step will be thousands of miles away.

No one, even those who have stepped into the innate world can only live two to three hundred years longer than ordinary people. If the end is approaching and the inner elixir cannot be condensed, then the body will die and the Tao will disappear, turning into the world of heaven and earth.

The invisible and unintentional Qi is no different from ordinary people.

All the above is what I suddenly realized after reading the obscure Taoist scriptures and thinking about the history that has happened. In short, refining alchemy is not an easy task, nor should it be an easy task.

I sat on the futon, carefully examined the selected vegetation crystals again, and then carefully put them one by one into my Eight-pole Nine-Dragon Cauldron. Then I focused my eyes and suddenly took a shot with my right palm.

, a hurricane burst out from the palm of my hand with a 'hoo' sound, and the next second the rotating hurricane enveloped the entire alchemy furnace.

The wind brings about all things, the wind brings about insects, and the insects bring about all things. I took out my right palm and gently pressed it on the stone platform where the Eight-pole Nine-Dragon Cauldron was placed, and then the pale golden stars in my eyes

Hui suddenly lit up.

"Give me the fire of the earth's flames!" As I whispered, a blazing flame instantly shot out from the round hole in the center of the stone platform, and burned blazingly in response to the hurricane.

The real alchemy process began, and then I found two banana fans from the white jade bracelets and miscellaneous things and gave them to Qing Hu and Lan Hu, and told them how to use these two fans.

Fans are a pair of yin and yang. The one with the yin attribute can help the wind and increase the intensity of the fire, while the one with the yang attribute is just the opposite. Its magical function is to extinguish the wind and extinguish the fire.

The two treasure fans of yin and yang are the origin of the civil and military fire in the secret art of alchemy. The Taoist scriptures say, "Those who get yang must seek it from yin, and those who get yin must seek it from yang." It is also said here.

There is a passage in Journey to the West that I will explain here. When the four Buddhist scriptures passed through the Flame Mountain, Sun Dasheng borrowed a fake banana fan to extinguish the fire in the Flame Mountain. As a result, everyone knows that the monkey’s buttocks were set on fire.

, Actually that fan is not fake, hehe! The Cow Demon King’s banana fan is originally a yin and a yang, it’s just that Sun Dasheng picked up the wrong fan.

The green fox and the blue fox each hold a banana fan, just like driving a car. One person is stepping on the accelerator, and the other is stepping on the brake and clutch. This is the most mysterious heat in the two people's mutual cooperation in alchemy. In the two vixens

Looking a little surprised, I stretched out and yawned several times. Then I sat cross-legged, calm and focused, and sat up with my eyes slightly closed.

Qinghu glanced at Lanhu, what's the subtext? Why does this guy seem to be okay? Yes, Lanhu was also confused by Zhang Er Monk. Her inner monologue was like this, I dare to do this alchemy work for both of us.

Yes? They both looked at me questioningly at the same time. It’s that simple. Why are you pretending to be a toad jumping off a cliff in front of us? You think you are Batman.

How could the two of them know how much I have sacrificed? My Feng Shenjue just now consumed at least nearly 60% of Yuan Yang's energy. I had no choice but to sit quietly and recover. After all, I have been practicing the art of spiritual communication for a long time.

Short, it is really not easy to use Fengshenjue.

I didn't care at all about the questioning eyes of the two vixens. I still meditated and slowly recovered my energy. Fortunately, I usually practice Wuji Zhuang quite hard, and I recovered after only three sticks of incense.

As before.

With the help of Qing Hu and Blue Fox, the fire of the Earth Flame was perfectly controlled. I glanced at them and saw that the fur on their fox heads was wet with sweat. I nodded with satisfaction.

, I didn’t expect them to be so patient, and now it’s my job again.

I suddenly raised my breath, looked at the cauldron in the center of the stone platform, and counted three numbers silently in my mind, one, two, three! The next second, two strange red lights shot out from my eyes.

Two red rays of light instantly disappeared into the Eight-pole Nine-Dragon Cauldron in front of me.

This is another one of my favorite techniques, the Fire God Jue. The fire of the Earth Flame is at best the crystal of ordinary fire. Using ordinary fire to make elixirs is still not enough. What I cultivated with the Fire God Jue is heavenly fire. Taoists also call it

The true fire is the samadhi true fire sprayed from Red Boy's mouth. In the secret art of alchemy, the civil and martial fire is the second and more important thing. The ordinary fire is outside and the true fire is inside. Only the true fire can gather the spiritual energy in the treasures of heaven, earth, plants, trees and crystals.
