75: Another sudden realization, the creation of [Three Yuan Alchemy]

Chapter 75: Another Epiphany, Creating the Three Elements Alchemy Technique

“The Five Elements Spiritual Energy and Aurora Spiritual Energy, under the influence of the Huangting Scripture, have given rise to new Moves, or rather, applied techniques.”

“So, can other Daoist scriptures or Buddhist scriptures allow me to master more applied techniques?”

“Especially since there are many Cultivation methods related to the Three Elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. By analogy, this might help me master the The Realm of Three Essences United faster.”

Once he mastered the The Realm of Three Essences United, he would be able to fuse the Three Elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit into Innate One.

Bai Xuan naturally knew what Innate One was.

Traditional Chinese medicine views "Innate One" as the Origin Qi of life, stemming from the Essence of the parents' kidneys, containing Origin Yin and Origin Yang, and governing growth, development, and reproduction. It is the root of the human body's Origin Qi, complementing "Acquired Qi" to maintain physiological balance.

In Daoist metaphysics, "Innate One" is the Origin energy of the Universe before it took shape, before Chaos separated. It is the embodiment of the Dao, formless and intangible yet giving birth to all things. Cultivators pursue returning to the Origin and uniting with the Dao through the Internal Alchemy Technique.

From a scientific perspective, Innate One could be compared to the initial energy state before the Big Bang, or the ground state fluctuations in a quantum vacuum.

It is a potential fundamental physical field, though not directly observable, it is considered the original basis for the generation of matter and energy.

All three explore the initial driving force and fundamental Essence of the generation of all things from different dimensions.

And Innate One is the initial driving force and fundamental Essence of the generation of all things.

Of course,

As a transcendent energy, Innate One is certainly not so miraculous.

But its purple quality is enough to illustrate the power of Innate One.

Even if it is not a transcendent energy with "omnipotent" characteristics, it is a transcendent energy with "versatile" characteristics.

The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. As an embodiment of the Dao, Innate One will surely be able to differentiate Yin and Yang, nurture the Five Elements, and give rise to all things.

Combined with the Turn False into Truth skill, he would definitely be able to create skills similar to immortal Cultivation Techniques.

“Let’s continue to browse the Daoist scriptures.”

Having grown to this point, Bai Xuan’s memory, learning ability, thinking ability, computing ability, and deduction ability had long surpassed the mundane.

Browsing Daoist scriptures, he could read ten lines at a glance, never forget what he read, and combine it with the knowledge stored in his mind to quickly translate the profound words in the Daoist scriptures into more scientific, concise, and direct language, and explain some of their principles with scientific knowledge.

As for the principles of the other part, a quick search for information would also make Bai Xuan understand them.

“The ‘High Grade Elixir Method Sequence’ is a good Daoist scripture, systematically expounding the Cultivation method of the transformation of human Essence, Qi, and Spirit.”

“From a modern scientific perspective, although its theories are expressed in traditional philosophical language, some content has potential points of congruence with physiology and psychology.”

“Interesting.”

There are many Internal Alchemy Techniques in the Daoist sect, but few describe the Cultivation process as systematically as the "High Grade Elixir Method Sequence."

“Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Refining Void into Dao.”

“So it can be explained this way.”

Bai Xuan, combining modern mind-body science and consulting some materials, saw through the Essence of the entire Internal Alchemy Cultivation process described in the "High Grade Elixir Method Sequence."

Refining Essence into Qi: Through breath regulation and mental guidance, life substance (Essence) is transformed into physiological energy (Qi), similar to regulating the autonomic nervous System and endocrine System through deep relaxation and diaphragmatic breathing, thereby improving basic metabolic efficiency.

Refining Qi into Spirit: Sustained focused training (such as guarding the Dantian) condenses scattered consciousness, and physiological energy supports higher-order cognitive functions (Spirit), corresponding to enhanced prefrontal cortex activation and synchronized brainwaves (such as increased alpha waves), entering a state of deep tranquility and heightened awareness.

Refining Spirit into Void: Transcending individual thought identification, cognitive activity tends to be minimized ("Void"), possibly touching upon the inhibition of the brain's default mode network (DMN), leading to transcendent experiences of self-loss and altered perception of time and space (similar to deep meditation or ego dissolution phenomena).

Refining Void into Dao: The mind-body System and external environment achieve a highly ordered state with low dissipation, showing high coordination of physiological indicators (such as heart rate variability coherence) and sensory integration, manifested as complete optimization of the stress System and overall homeostasis.

The Essence of the entire process is to systematically reshape the neuro-endocrine-energy metabolism network through mind-body interaction techniques, achieving extreme optimization and unification of physiological and psychological functions.

“What kind of effect would it have if I incorporated Essence, Qi Essence, and Spirit Yuan into the Internal Alchemy Technique?”

“I already know how to Refine Essence into Qi and Refine Qi into Spirit.”

“So I can totally use this process to master the The Realm of Three Essences United.”

“Let’s try it.”

The Internal Alchemy Technique seemed miraculous, but it was still the same set of sitting meditation, breathing exercises, visualization, guidance, and gland stimulation.

For Bai Xuan, there was no difficulty at all, as his control over the human body far surpassed the mundane.

However, what Bai Xuan had to do now was not to Cultivate the Internal Alchemy Technique, but to integrate the Three Elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit—these three transcendent energies—into the Cultivation process of the Internal Alchemy Technique, which was not a simple matter.

Of course,

It was a bit difficult, but not overly so.

Bai Xuan began to continuously attempt to combine Essence, Qi Essence, Spirit Yuan, Refining Essence into Qi, and Refining Qi into Spirit.

He incorporated the three into the Cultivation process of the Internal Alchemy Technique, integrated them into the many life activities within the human body, and used them to transform the eight major Systems of the human body, even constructing a completely new life System.

Time quickly passed.

During his Cultivation, Bai Xuan forgot the passage of time, entering a state of extreme focus.

Just like that,

Bai Xuan slowly found the key, and once again entered an Epiphany.

This Epiphany melted all the knowledge and skills related to the Internal Alchemy Technique that Bai Xuan had mastered into one furnace.

"Human Physiology," "Psychology," ""human anatomy"," "High Grade Elixir Method Sequence," "Huangting Scripture"—

Internal Alchemy Technique, Guidance Technique, Breathing Method, Cloud Crane Skill, Five Elements Skill—

“Creating Skill ‘Three Elements Alchemy Technique’”

“[Skill: Three Elements Alchemy Technique LV1 (0/100)]”

“[Rank: First Order]”

“[Quality: Blue]”

“[Effect: Integrate “Essence,” “Qi Essence,” and “Spirit Yuan” into the Cultivation process of the Internal Alchemy Technique. After completing the four Cultivation processes of “Refining Essence into Qi,” “Refining Qi into Spirit,” “Refining Spirit into Void,” and “Refining Void into Dao,” one can smelt “Essence,” “Qi Essence,” and “Spirit Yuan” into a “Pill,” giving rise to the embodiment of the Dao— “Innate One.”]”

“Innate One is the Pill, and also the Dao.”

Opening his eyes, Bai Xuan’s eyes looked incredibly calm and incredibly profound. “I understand.”
