By mid-morning, the valley was already teeming with people, a dense, dark mass.

At a glance, there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

Most of them were at the mortal level, with only a few possessing minor cultivation.

The crowd whispered and speculated.

All eyes were fixed intently on the direction of the mountain peak.

A strange atmosphere, a mixture of anticipation, excitement, trepidation, and reverence, filled the air.

It was described as "a sea of ​​people, seemingly endless".

Such a spontaneous gathering is a sight unseen for many years in this relatively remote human territory.

Just as the attention and whispers reached their peak,

The thin mist that had perpetually shrouded the mountain peaks was suddenly parted as if by an invisible hand.

Then, under the spotlight of countless gazes, an elderly man appeared, dressed in a simple gray Taoist robe, his hair casually tied up, his face lean and serene, holding a bamboo cane.

As if stepping out of a painting, or as if already one with this landscape, they slowly stroll out from the secluded valley path.

It is the image of an old man transformed from Lao Tzu's three avatars in the One Qi Transformation.

He walked with a calm and unhurried pace.

Each step felt as if it were treading on the rhythm of some grand road.

He did not use any supernatural powers.

But the moment he appeared, the noisy valley suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects seemed to diminish.

A profound and majestic Taoist aura, indescribable in its tranquility and peace.

Centered on him, it naturally spread out and enveloped the entire area.

Tens of millions of people, regardless of age or previous state of mind,

At this moment, everyone involuntarily held their breath, their minds completely captivated by that figure.

The Three Pure Ones of Taiqing calmly swept their gazes over the countless faces below, some excited, some bewildered, and some expectant, their expressions devoid of joy or sorrow.

He didn't walk towards the center of the crowd, but casually strolled to a large, smooth, flat blue stone at the edge of the valley, brushed away non-existent dust.

Then he sat down cross-legged, in a natural posture, like an old farmer taking a rest.

After settling down, he didn't speak immediately, but merely raised his head slightly and glanced at the high-hanging sun.

He looked around at the surrounding green hills and clear waters, and at the countless pairs of eyes that were looking at him, eyes that belonged to "humans".

A moment of silence followed, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Then he slowly began to speak.

The voice wasn't loud; it was even somewhat deep, yet strangely clear.

It seemed to resonate directly in everyone's heart.

It transcends distance and noise, carrying a profound power that points directly to the source and elucidates the ultimate truth:

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of Heaven and Earth; named, it is the mother of all things..."

The opening of the Tao Te Ching directly points to the fundamental principle of "Tao" and elucidates the distinction between "existence" and "non-existence."

This is not a specific cultivation method, but rather a practice.

Even the general principles and core philosophy for understanding the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth and all things.

Its language is concise yet profound.

Each sentence seems to contain the ultimate mystery of the creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of the universe.

In addition, when Lao Tzu preached, his voice naturally carried the unique, mellow, profound, and balanced "Taoist rhyme of the Golden Elixir" that he created, which was characteristic of the "Taoist Rhyme of the Acquired Golden Elixir".

This rhythm is not something that is forcibly instilled.

Rather, it is like background music or the atmosphere of the environment, subtly influencing the thoughts of those who listen to the sermon.

The vast majority of the countless mortals below were hearing such profound and mysterious principles that went straight to the root of the matter for the first time.

They found it extremely "difficult" to understand; many of the words were unfamiliar, and many concepts were completely incomprehensible.

Many people frowned, pondering deeply, yet found it difficult to fully grasp the true meaning.

Even so, the peaceful and serene Daoist rhythm contained within that voice...

This gradually calmed their restless minds, as if the dust had been swept away from their clouded senses.

I vaguely touched something.

Even without understanding everything, the vastness of the "Tao," the mystery of "Nature," and the dialectic of "existence and non-existence" are all evident.

It still planted a seed in their hearts called "philosophical speculation" and "transcendental pursuit".

Those in the crowd who are naturally calm and have excellent comprehension...

Or those who have already followed Xuandu and come into contact with the "Golden Elixir Foundation Building Method" and have some understanding of "meditation" and "inner seeking,"

At this moment, it is like hearing heavenly music and drinking fine wine.

They can "understand" more of what they hear.

Although I still cannot fully understand its mystery.

But that general outline-like explanation

It was as if their previously scattered cultivation experiences had been instantly built into a tall and clear framework.

Many doubts suddenly became clear, and I gained an unprecedented, hazy understanding of "what is the purpose of cultivation" and "what is the Tao".

Their eyes grew brighter and brighter, and their breathing became shallow, as if afraid of missing a single word.

After the general outline at the beginning, Lao Tzu's tone shifts from "Tao" to "technique," and from "principle" to "law."

He no longer talks about those abstruse philosophical speculations.

He then began to elaborate on the essential cultivation principles of the "Postnatal Golden Elixir Great Dao Mortal Realm Chapter".

He began by explaining how to adjust one's physical and mental state and practice the most basic "qi sensation."

A detailed description of what that subtle, almost imperceptible "qi sensation" actually feels like.

How to eliminate distractions to capture the essence.

The next step is to "concentrate" and gather scattered thoughts to achieve a preliminary state of "stillness".

Next comes "Foundation Building," which explains in detail the pathways of the body's main meridians.

How to use specific breathing and mental focus to guide, nourish, and unblock the flow of energy, accumulate vital energy, and lay the foundation for the Dao.

Next comes the mastery of "refining essence into qi," the fusion of spirit and thought in "refining qi into spirit," and the state of emptiness in "refining spirit to return to emptiness"—each realm in its own way.

He explained everything in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

It not only explains the specific methods of practice, the routes for transporting qi and blood, and the timing of opening and closing acupoints, but also...

It also focuses on explaining the various physical and mental changes, difficulties and confusions that may be encountered in cultivation, such as chaotic qi sensation, restless mind, distending pain in the meridians, and the occurrence of hallucinations, as well as the methods to deal with and resolve them.

He viewed the human body as a furnace for alchemy.

Treat essence, energy, and spirit as medicinal ingredients.

View the cultivation process as alchemy.

Using the terminology and concepts of "Daoist alchemy," it cleverly explains many complex cultivation phenomena.

To make it easier for listeners to understand and grasp.

His sermons were always delivered in a calm and even tone, as if he were narrating something perfectly natural.

But as he narrated, the "Taoist rhyme of the Golden Elixir" contained in his voice became increasingly rich and clear.

This Daoist aura spread out, creating a wondrous resonance with the divine thoughts of those listening below.

Many clansmen who had previously tried the "Golden Core Foundation Building Method" but were stuck at a certain stage...

When listening to the teacher explain the key points of the corresponding steps,

Guided by the pervasive Taoist aura, I suddenly felt enlightened.

The internal energy involuntarily began to circulate along the described route.

Surprisingly, he broke through the bottleneck that had been bothering him for so long right there and then.

Successfully "sensing Qi" or completing "foundation building".
