Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 70: Black gold intertwined, rabbit marrow wood liquid hidden

Before I knew it, six or seven days had passed.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged in a quiet room, cultivating his nature and cultivating his true self, regulating his essence and making preparations for practicing the six steps of alchemy, 'coitus'.

He had not yet started practicing when he heard the door of the room open.

"Big Brother!"

Jiang Yuan knew it was his junior fellow disciple Zhenjian when he heard the voice. He stretched his body and opened the door. It was Zhenjian who was outside. He then led Zhenjian into the room and asked, "Junior fellow disciple, why are you not sleeping in front at midnight, but coming to look for me?"

Zhen Jian apologized and said, "Big Brother, I have some spiritual matters to which I need to give advice so that I can understand your confusion. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I was wondering why you came here in the middle of the night. This is the reason. Tell me what you don't understand. If I can answer it, I will tell you."

Zhen Jiandao said: "When my elder brother left the mountain several decades ago, he said that the other person who appeared under the heavenly spirit was me. Over these years, I have fully realized my mind and realized that I am not myself. I am an external appearance, and I have greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt, but they are all illusions. The other person in the heavenly spirit is my true self!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Junior brother is very talented."

Zhen Jian bowed again and said, "Big Brother, I know where the true self is, but I can't find any trace of it. It seems that I am confused by demons and cannot understand the truth. I hope that you can show me the way!"

Jiang Yuan heard this and said, "How can it not be clear? This is the true seeing of where the true self is. The two spirits are blocking the way. The consciousness spirit is covering the heart, and the desire spirit is covering the eyes, preventing it from knowing the true self. The true self is the primordial spirit."

The Yuanshen resides in the Niwan Palace, which is located between the eyebrows. There is a record in the Sanxing Xiandong Book, which was written by him personally: the center between the eyebrows is called the "Heavenly Gate". One inch inside is called the "Mingtang". Another inch inside is called the "Bridal Chamber". Another inch inside is the "Niwan Palace". The Yuanshen resides in the Niwan Palace, which is called the Yuanshen's Palace.

To truly see, one must know where the original spirit resides, so that there are traces to follow.

But he had to understand it by himself.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "Junior brother, go to the library more often in your free time."

Zhenjian said, "Brother, you can't say it?"

Jiang Yuan said: "I said it."

I was so anxious that I scratched my head and cheeks, but I couldn't figure out what to do.

Jiang Yuan smiled and saw Zhen Jian out of the room, leaving the road under his feet without saying anything else.

Jiang Tong'er sent Zhenjian out of the room, and then he sat cross-legged to practice the 'copulation' step.

He looked inward at the cauldron under his navel and saw that the cauldron had all four medicines, forming a mixed and perfect whole, with medicinal energy hidden inside. He ordered Huang Po to come out from the center and come to the front of the cauldron.

Huang Po looks like an old woman, full of youthful energy, and takes nourishing her body as her mission.

Jiang Yuan asked Huang Po to combine the four medicines into one, and he would assist it with a formula to help the medicine succeed.

Huang Po took the order and entered the cauldron, trying to combine the four medicines into one.

Jiang Yuan recited the formula and assisted Huang Po Rong in mixing the four medicines. When Huang Po Rong was mixing the medicines, his stomach felt like boiling water and he felt a little pain, but it was not enough to shake him.

This little pain is nothing compared to before.

He looked inside the cauldron and watched Huang Po mixing the ingredients. Gradually the four medicines began to blend together. It was truly mysterious. Although the other four people had miraculous effects, none of them achieved Huang Po's accomplishment.

Jiang Tong'er thought to himself, "Huang Po is located in the center palace, which is the spleen. It belongs to the earth element in the five elements and is strong in the four internal organs. It is located three inches below the heart, three inches wide and one foot long. That's why she is named Huang Po, and she has the power of harmonization. I have seen Huang Po's power when she harmonized five people in the past. Now I see Huang Po blending four medicines, which is even more mysterious than harmonizing five people."

He devoted himself to the combination and combined the four medicines into one. The master said that within two or three years, this step would be accomplished and it would be very easy for him, but he did not dare to be negligent.

You must know that the path to the golden elixir is difficult, the road is blocked and dangerous at every step. If you make a mistake, you will die and your path will be gone.

How difficult it is to describe his journey on this path? It is because he has a good teacher and a firm determination to follow the path that he is where he is today.

Jiang Yuan was so focused on having sex with the four medicines that they became one piece, not daring to make any mistakes, for he knew that unless the sex was successful, there would be no turning back.

……

The master's quiet room.

At this time, the master sat cross-legged on a cushion and took out a red gourd, which contained an elixir. This elixir was obtained by exchanging two ginseng fruits and other things with the Supreme Lord Lao. The master looked at the boy's quiet room and said, "The elixir is ready, and it's just waiting for the boy to succeed."

There are seven steps on the path to alchemy. Now this boy has reached the sixth step and is on the verge of success. The rest of the path to alchemy has not taken a single step. This step is called the 'Nine Turns to Make the Alchemy' and it is a real hurdle.

If you pass this step, the golden elixir will be formed. From then on, you will have eternal life, magical powers, and be immune to all evil. You will then achieve enlightenment.

If you fail at this step, hundreds of years of hard training will be in vain and your life will be in jeopardy.

The correct way to the Golden Elixir is to "cultivate". This cultivation refers to the cultivation of nature and life. When the Golden Elixir is not yet formed, even if you reach the step of sexual intercourse, a big monster will be summoned and you will have to kill it.

If the golden elixir is accomplished, the three realms cannot be subdued unless one has great magical powers.

The master pretended to close his eyes and waited patiently for the boy to accomplish his goal.

……

There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and I don’t know the years from cold to hot. Before I knew it, two years had passed.

Jiang Yuan's eyes cannot see colors, his nose cannot smell fragrances, his tongue cannot taste flavors, his ears cannot hear sounds, his body does not feel cold or heat, his mind does not have delusions, and he uses his whole mind to combine the four medicines, supplemented by Huang Po for its harmonizing effect.

Within two years, he finally achieved success.

The four medicines become one, black gold is intertwined, rabbit marrow is storing wood fluid, and then used in reverse order, intercourse will be accomplished.

Jiang Yuan would not dare to be careless when the elixir was ready, so he used the 'sealing method' in the secret fire control method to seal the golden tripod and jade furnace, and only then could he finish his work.

By doing this, he completed the sixth step of the alchemy path, and the remaining nine steps would form the elixir.

When he has completed the ninth transformation, the golden elixir will be ready.

Jiang Yuan was neither arrogant nor impatient. He knew that this seemed easy, but he had to be very careful. Just like this step of "four medicines mating", it was very easy for him, but the difficulty lay in warming and nourishing. If he could succeed in warming and nourishing, this step would be accomplished in two or three years.

But if he knew that this step was easy, his prestige would be lost, and he would become arrogant, then he would surely fail at the last moment and it would be too late to regret.

Jiang Tong'er looked at the cauldron of medicine and thought to himself, "Don't be arrogant. If I succeed in making the golden elixir, I will keep my heart as calm as still water. I will not be happy when I succeed, nor sad when I fail."

Children reflect on themselves and dare not be negligent or lazy.

He waited until it was almost dawn, left the quiet room, and walked to the meditation room of the founder.

The door of the Patriarch's quiet room was wide open. The Patriarch knew that he was coming, so he opened the door and waited for the boy.

The ancestor here sits cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes pretending to be closed.

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "Master, I have accomplished my mission."

The master just opened his eyes, looked at the boy, and said, "The intercourse is successful, and the remaining nine turns will become the elixir. Boy, is this step of intercourse easy?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not easy."

The master asked with a smile: "You have achieved success in two years. It is easy to achieve intercourse by nurturing and cultivating. How can it be said that it is 'not easy'?"

Jiang Yuan said: "The easiest thing is also the hardest thing to do. If you slack off, it will be hard."

The master smiled and said, "My boy is really smart. Now that you have succeeded in intercourse, I should teach you the remaining steps of 'Nine Turns to Make a Pill'."

Jiang Yuan asked: "Master, I just succeeded in intercourse, why are you so anxious?"

The master shook his head and said, "It's not urgent. This step is really difficult. It is the remaining step after the elixir is completed. I need to explain it to you in detail. When you are ready, you can take this step."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan washed his ears and paid close attention, then bowed and said, "I hope Master will be merciful and teach me!"
