Chapter 99 Gather five clusters, four meetings, three combinations and two into one!

"We in the Xuanmen sect often start with the five internal organs when we talk about the five elements."

"The five internal organs of the human body are originally guarded by the five emperors of green, red, yellow, white and black."

"The Green Emperor receives the three Qis of Jia and Yi, the Red Emperor receives the two Qis of Bing and Ding, the White Emperor receives the four Qis of Geng and Xin, the Black Emperor receives the one Qi of Ren and Gui, the Yellow Emperor receives the five Qis of Wu and Ji."

"Of course, I think you should have known all of this. What you want to know is how to achieve the state of Five Qis Converging to the Origin."

The old Taoist blinked.

Hearing this, Wang Yuanjing nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"The essence of the Five Qis Returning to the Origin is to promote the convergence of the scattered Qis. The so-called 'gathering five clusters, four meetings, three combinations, and two returning to one' is the process of returning to the Origin through convergence."

"The four qi of the metal virtue and the one qi of the water virtue merge to form five. The three qi of the wood virtue and the two qi of the fire virtue merge to form five. The center has five qi of its own."

"When the 'three fives' come together, the four elements are in harmony, and the five energies converge at the top of the head, reflecting a high level of inner alchemy practice."

“That’s what I’m going to talk about next.”

"If you want to combine these five Qi, you must do one thing - emptiness!"

"What is emptiness?"

Wang Yuanjing knew that this was the key point. This so-called emptiness should be the key to Chao Yuan.

"When the five qi are in harmony, the five qi are surging. The word 'cave' means emptiness, and the word 'wisdom' means spirit. When you reach the state where emptiness and spirit are in harmony, you will have nothing, and then you will be full of spirit and have unlimited wisdom."

“When you reach the state of emptiness, you can start practicing Chao Yuan.”

"The heart contains the spirit, which becomes the consciousness spirit after birth. If one is free from sorrow, the spirit will be settled, and the fire qi of the Red Emperor of the South will be generated."

"The liver stores the soul, which becomes a wandering soul after birth. If you are happy, the soul will settle, and the wood qi of the eastern green tree will grow."

"The spleen stores the mind, which is acquired through the false mind. When the mind is empty of desire, the mind is settled, and the earth qi of the Yellow Emperor in the center is generated."

"The lungs store the soul, which becomes the ghost soul in the acquired world. If you empty your mind into anger, the soul will be stable, and the golden qi of the White Emperor of the West will be generated."

"The kidneys store essence, which becomes turbid essence after birth. If you are free from pleasure, your essence will settle, and the water qi of the Northern Mo Emperor will be generated."

"After completing the above steps, and then using the acquired method to bring the three and five together, then it will be considered a success."

Wang Yuanjing summarized what the old Taoist priest said.

In short, one must first reach the state of emptiness, and then use the state of emptiness to calm the five elements of spirit, soul, and will, so that the five qi within the five internal organs can be generated separately.

Then use the acquired method to bring the three and five together and perform the Five Qi Returning to the Origin.

As for this acquired method.
Wang Yuanjing's heart moved, as if he thought of something. He took out a thread-bound book from his arms, with the title "One Flow of Energy Throughout the Body" written on the cover.

"Senior Tianshi, please help me see if this thing is the Five Qis Returning to the Origin technique."

Ever since he had clarified the path ahead for Yang Shen, he had seldom left the book “One Flow of Qi Throughout the Body” and would take it out and read it from time to time.

The old Taoist looked at Wang Yuanjing with some surprise, then took the book, opened it and began to read.

after a long time
"You are a young man with good luck."

The old Taoist priest said with some emotion.

Of course he did have this acquired method, but this kind of advanced cultivation knowledge was a secret of all major sects. He was originally thinking about how to teach the other party with a suitable reason, but he didn't expect that the other party would take out a book like "One Flow of Energy Throughout the Body".

"But this 'One Flow of Energy Throughout the Body' seems to have been modified. Why don't you let me, an old Taoist priest, modify it for you?"

The old Taoist priest asked Wang Yuanjing for his opinion.

The latter was overjoyed.

"Great! Senior Tianshi, please help!"

"good!"

The old Taoist stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.

Then he used his finger as a pen and the golden light as ink, and began to make revisions on the paper, with a thoughtful look on his face from time to time.

The Five Qis to the Origin was originally a very sophisticated technique. Modifying such a technique was a very laborious task even for a master like the old Heavenly Master. Therefore, the modification was made until late at night.
When the old Taoist priest finished the work at hand and looked up, he found that the young man sitting opposite him had his eyes closed and a golden glow appeared on his face.

"what?"

He couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Emptiness means there is nothing, but it is more than just nothing.

If you see that all forms are non-identical, you will see the Tathagata.

In Wang Yuanjing's view, this is probably a free and easy state of mind, where one allows sadness, joy, desire, anger, and happiness to arise, but does not cling to them.

Then use the power of these emotions to stimulate the growth of the Qi of the five internal organs.
It reveals itself gently and its outflow is endless!

Everything goes from easy to difficult. Wang Yuanjing first chose the lung metal qi related to anger, because its essence is similar to the desire for anger corresponding to the corpse.

There are inherent advantages for him.

"What a smart junior!"

The old Taoist priest looked at Wang Yuanjing who was getting into the state and praised him.

In just one night, he mastered the state of emptiness and completed the generation of the Lung Metal Qi. It seems that the stage of Five Qi Returning to the Origin will not be difficult for him.

On the other hand, Wang Yuanjing only felt that he had entered an extremely mysterious state. Every part of his body was releasing signals of anger, but his mind was extremely clear, as if he was a dissociated bystander. The true energy in his body rushed to his lungs under his control, and his body inside and outside began to involuntarily release a sharp breath.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yuanjing, who had successfully completed the generation of Lung Metal Qi, slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the old Taoist priest sitting opposite him was looking at him with a smile.

"It seems that your lung metal qi has completed its growth."

"Among the five elements, earth produces metal, and metal produces water. When choosing your next target, you should first choose the water qi of the kidney, and then the earth qi of the spleen." "To avoid conflicts between the qi in your body."

"Thank you, Senior Tianshi, for your advice!"

Wang Yuanjing looked grateful.

It seems that I always meet noble people along the way, Tu Junfang, Liu Xingyang, Bai Yang Zhenren, and Old Tianshi.
Even compared to Zhong Zu and Lu Zu, those who have no way to seek the truth, Wang Yuanjing feels that he is simply too lucky.

"I have also modified the flow of Qi throughout your body for you. Once your five Qi are fully generated, you can follow the steps to gather them together and face the Yuan."

Wang Yuanjing took the modified Qi in his body and carefully put it in his arms. Then he got up from the bed and bowed respectfully to the old Taoist priest.

The latter accepted it calmly, his eyes full of appreciation.

In terms of talent, this boy is almost the same as he was back then. However, in terms of personality, he is not as likable as the other. Only after he was over forty and got the title of the best did he stop being so rebellious.

No wonder my master Zhang Jingqing always disliked me back then.

"If only you could be born a few decades earlier!"

Thinking of this, the old Taoist couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This was the second time he brought up this topic after last night.

"not late!"

Wang Yuanjing gave the same answer with a hint of smile in his words.

Now he could understand the old master's feelings. No one of his peers could catch up with him, not even the famous masters.
After witnessing the existence of the old Taoist priest, thinking about it now, it seems a bit boring.

"The old Taoist is waiting ahead."

The old Taoist priest smiled casually but didn't take it to heart.

Even if both parties have the same starting point, there are still decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation in between. How can it be so easy to bridge the gap?
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. There will be a competition tomorrow."

After saying this, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Tianshi, I have something to tell you."

Wang Yuanjing hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"What's the matter?"

The old Heavenly Master asked.

Wang Yuanjing told the story of Gong Qing.

Originally, he wanted to secretly resolve the issue of the Quan Xing generation leader himself, because he could not reveal the source of the information.
Gong Qing has been in Mount Longhu for three years, and even people in Quanxing don't know his identity. In three years, even the people in Tianshi Mansion haven't found anything unusual. If I tell them rashly, I'm afraid it will only alert the enemy.

However, after what happened tonight, considering the magnanimity shown by the old Taoist priest, Wang Yuanjing felt that perhaps he was worrying too much.

On the contrary, if he casually killed Gong Qing, who was pretending to be Xiao Yuzi, it would probably sow the seeds of disaster.

"Xiao Yuzi? Gong Qing? The acting head of Quan Xing?"

After hearing this news from Wang Yuanjing, the old Taoist priest immediately put away the smile on his face, which turned into a gloomy look, and his eyes could not stop flickering.

Wang Yuanjing felt a little pressure, but he still waited patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, the old Taoist priest retracted the expression on his face and spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"I understand, you go back first."

Before stepping out of the room, Wang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment and turned around.

"Senior Tianshi, if it is inconvenient for you to take action, then Gong Qing can be left to me."

But this time, the old Taoist priest didn't even turn his head, so Wang Yuanjing had no choice but to leave.

As long as the message gets across, that's enough.

He thought to himself that if he considered it from the perspective of the old Heavenly Master, it would be impossible for him to take action against the disciples within the sect just because of one-sided words from an outsider. He would have to investigate thoroughly. However, with his reminder, and with the methods used by the old Heavenly Master, Gong Qing would be doomed.

After leaving the room, Wang Yuanjing looked at the scene in the courtyard and then he remembered that he had not cleaned the courtyard yet. Various tools were placed all over the place.

But it was already late at night, so he thought about it and decided to go back to his room.

Early the next morning, he returned to the courtyard, packed up everything, and then left.

Before leaving, he looked inside the house and found that the old master was not in the room. He looked thoughtful and then rushed to the competition venue.

As soon as he arrived at the competition venue, the referee called out his name.

"Wang Yuanjing and Feng Xingtong, please enter!"

Wang Yuanjing walked into the competition venue somewhat absent-mindedly. At this time, he was still thinking about Gong Qing's matter.

"Great God, I finally met you."

Feng Xingtong's tone was a little excited.

"Forehead"

Wang Yuanjing then raised his head and looked at him blankly.

In his impression, the young master of the Feng family did not seem to be particularly outstanding.

The latter did not feel that he was being looked down upon, but decided to prove himself with action. He clenched his palm into the air, and a black energy extended from it, turning into a long black energy snake.

"Let me introduce you. This is Liu Kunsheng from Changbai Mountain, Uncle Liu."

Feng Xingtong touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
