Xuandu inherently possessed a "childlike heart," with a simple and focused nature.

Nourished by a century of education, its foundation is already excellent.

Under the teacher's insightful yet meticulous guidance,

His cultivation progress can be described as rapid as a thousand miles a day.

Another century has passed quietly.

For Xuandu, this century has been a century of complete transformation.

With the teacher's personal guidance and his own unremitting efforts,

He successfully completed all the cultivation steps of "The Mortal Realm Chapter of the Acquired Golden Elixir Path".

From the initial "sensing qi" and "concentrating the mind," a solid foundation of mental character is laid;

In the "Foundation Building" stage, specific breathing techniques and guiding exercises are used to initially unblock and nourish the main meridians, accumulating vital energy.

Then comes "refining essence into qi," which combines the essence of food and water with innate primordial qi to refine it into purer "true qi," which circulates in the meridians to strengthen the body.

Next comes "Refining Qi into Spirit," where true qi accumulates to a certain level.

It begins to nourish, refine, and condense one's spiritual will, making one's perception more acute and initially acquiring the ability of "inner vision."

Then comes "Refining the Spirit to Return to Emptiness," where the divine sense is further refined and clarified, enabling a clearer resonance with heaven and earth.

The true energy also began to undergo a qualitative change, acquiring a trace of spirituality.

Finally, after all conditions are met and one's moral character has reached the required level,

During meditation, Xuandu drew upon all the pure, spiritually imbued true energy, or "true essence," within his body, merging it with his refined divine will.

According to the supreme secrets described in the practice, countless complex and exquisite compressions, purifications, calcinations, and condensations are performed in the lower dantian.

"Buzz".

One day, at the summit of the mountain where Xuandu sat in meditation, a clear and mysterious Daoist sound suddenly rang out, a sound that only cultivators could perceive.

Immediately afterwards, a warm, mellow, yet vibrant and immortal golden light emanated from his lower abdomen and vanished in an instant.

The Golden Elixir is complete.

At this moment, Xuandu officially entered the realm of "Earth Immortal".

Moreover, what he condensed was not the "false elixir" or "vital energy core" of an ordinary earth immortal.

Instead, it contains the unique characteristics of the "Postnatal Golden Elixir Great Dao" and has the potential to undergo "Nine Revolutions" in the future; it is the true prototype of the "Great Dao Golden Elixir".

Its foundation is so solid, its magical power so pure, and its perception of itself and the world so clear that it far surpasses that of ordinary earth immortals.

Once the Golden Elixir is formed, the "Post-Heaven Golden Elixir Great Dao Mortal Realm Chapter" is considered complete.

Xuandu began to follow the follow-up methods taught by his teacher and attempted to switch to cultivating the "Immortal Realm Chapter of the Acquired Golden Elixir Path".

The first "tempering" and "sublimation" of the Golden Core is then performed, which is also known as the "first transformation of the Golden Core".

This process requires deeper insights and a greater accumulation of energy; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Xuandu is only at the initial stage, but the direction is already clear.

During these hundred years, Xuandu did not remain secluded in the mountains.

With the teacher's tacit approval or even occasional hints

He would often take breaks from his cultivation to descend the mountain and return to the familiar Black Gold Tribe to visit his former neighbors.

I also tried to share some relatively safe and easy-to-understand insights from the early stages of cultivating "The Mortal Realm of the Acquired Golden Elixir Path".

And the most basic simplified methods of "sensing qi," "concentrating the mind," and "building the foundation," which the teacher allowed to be passed on to outsiders.

It was taught to young people in the tribe who were interested in cultivation and had relatively calm temperaments.

Especially those clansmen who, due to physical or mental reasons, make slow progress in cultivating the "Innate Qi Cultivation Method" or the "Martial Arts Ancestral Scripture," or even find it difficult to even begin.

He teaches diligently, patiently, and completely free of charge.

Because he himself was human, he knew the hardships of the lower classes and their desire for power.

When he teaches, he also incorporates his own cultivation experiences, using the simplest language to explain those profound concepts, making it easier for listeners to understand.

Initially, only a few young people who were familiar with Xuan Du or were simply curious tried it.

However, they soon discovered that the introductory method to this "Golden Elixir Path," although progress seemed slower than some quick-fix methods,

However, during cultivation, one's mental state becomes exceptionally calm and comfortable. After cultivation, one not only feels physically light and healthy but also mentally refreshed.

Even their stamina for work and their concentration for learning have improved.

And there is almost no risk of going astray or becoming possessed.

Most importantly, it seems to have less stringent requirements on the cultivator's "innate aptitude."

They place greater emphasis on the calmness and focus of one's "mental state".

Some people who were deemed "mediocre" and made little progress in other cultivation methods,

He gradually began to feel the "qi" while practicing this "Golden Core Foundation Building Method," thus stepping into the threshold of cultivation.

Word of mouth spread like wildfire.

More and more mortals who lack confidence in their own abilities, or who prefer this "quiet introspection" cultivation method, are...

He began to try to cultivate the "Golden Core Foundation Building Method" taught by Xuandu.

As the number of practitioners increases, so do the number of successful practitioners.

There are even a few individuals with both exceptional talent and excellent character.

Without any guidance, and relying solely on the basic methods taught by Xuandu to explore on their own...

He actually broke through all the way to the "Foundation Building" stage and began to try further cultivation.

The name "The Path to the Golden Elixir of the Acquired Realm" and the cultivation path it represents—a path that is "gentle," "solid," "foundation-oriented," and "seemingly accessible to everyone"—are significant.

In the "Black Gold" tribe and several surrounding areas influenced by Taoism, it began to gain some "fame".

It has attracted increasing attention and attempts from the mortal race.

Although its reach and influence are far from comparable to the already widespread "Innate Qi Cultivation Method" and "Martial Arts Ancestral Scripture,"

But it is already like a new pebble thrown into a lake, beginning to create its own ripples on the surface of the human cultivation system.

It was the height of summer, the sun high in the sky, its blazing, bright sunlight showering down upon the earth without reservation.

The mountains, plains, and villages were all bathed in a golden glow.

The temperature was quite high, but the spiritual energy in the air also seemed to be particularly active.

It's unclear when or who first spread the news.

Perhaps it was because Xuandu mentioned that his teacher might leave soon when he came down the mountain recently, or perhaps it was because the Taoist aura that had permeated the area for a hundred years and had recently changed had aroused the feelings of more people.

In short, today, in the relatively open and flat river valley below the mountain peaks, scattered human beings began to gather from all directions.

At first, there were small groups of two or three, mostly villagers from nearby.

With curiosity and reverence, they gazed at the mountain peak, shrouded in a light mist, which appeared mysterious and peaceful.

Then the news spread like wildfire, reaching far and wide. More people who had heard of the legends of the "Golden Elixir Path" or the "Immortal on the Mountain" came from more distant villages and even small towns.

There were elderly people with white hair, filled with a longing for immortality.

There were hunters and farmers in their prime, seeking strength to protect their families.

There are boys and girls with clear eyes, full of curiosity about the unknown.

There are also a few low-level cultivators who have already practiced the "Innate Qi Cultivation Method" or the "Martial Arts Ancestral Scripture," but have encountered bottlenecks or wish to learn from others' strengths.

The crowd grew larger and larger, like a stream flowing into a river.
