Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 90 - 84: Five Elements Mistaken King, True Form of the Evil Gods (5k Word - )_2
The avatar of the Thousand-Year-Old Demon was still gray. As usual, Zhang Fan greeted him, which had almost become something he did every day apart from signing in.
However, a system prompt immediately popped up: Sorry, the other party has blacklisted you...
"Damn it!"
Zhang Fan cursed under his breath. As he glanced, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.
"Did the Thousand-Year-Old Demon post again?"
Zhang Fan looked at the homepage of [Thousand-Year-Old Demon] and found that he recently updated a post at 3:30 AM last night.
"Still awake at 3:30? Isn’t he afraid of overworking himself to death?"
Zhang Fan murmured softly, but then he saw the title of the post boldly stating, "The Mystery of the Five Elements in the Human Body, The Most Fearsome Cultivators."
It initially referenced the mystical alchemy book "Journey to the West." This book became one of the four great classics, and it’s not just about subduing demons, fighting monsters, and a pilgrimage to the west for scriptures.
The person who wrote this book must be a great master of Alchemy Dao, and many metaphors about Buddhist Dao in it seem effortlessly crafted.
For example, in the book, the technique of longevity introduces several methods, such as the Peach of Immortality, Ginseng Fruit, and so on.
These Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, if consumed, can grant eternal youth and prolong life.
However, there’s also a method for longevity that is often the first choice for many demons, as those Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots are beyond their reach.
This method involves virgin boys and girls.
In fact, this is also a Daoist metaphor.
In Daoist Sect practices, the human body’s five organs each have an alias and secret language: the liver is called [Wood Mother], the lungs are called [Gold Lord], the spleen is called [Granny Huang], the heart is called [Charming Girl], and the kidneys are called [baby].
Therefore, the virgin boys and girls here refer to Heart Fire and Kidney Water.
Because Daoist Core Formation speaks of the Three Families Unite, these three families are metaphorically the baby, Charming Girl, along with Granny Huang.
The spleen, being Granny Huang, belongs to earth among the Five Elements, and its function is to produce blood, store blood, and immunity, hence it has the function of transforming all things.
At the same time, the spleen represents true intention, along with virgin boys and girls; the combination of the three forms the Core.
Guard the Dantian with intention, Water and Fire complement each other, Yin Yang balance, and the Great Pill is formed, this is the path to longevity.
The Elixir Book says: Granny Huang acts as a matchmaker, baby and Charming Girl come together. Water and Fire complement each other, Yin and Yang unite, and thus one becomes Buddha and Immortal.
Therefore, mortals cultivating immortality, must have virgin boys and girls, indispensable.
"I have to admit, although he tricks people, he does have genuine stuff." Zhang Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
"So how exactly do you do it?"
Zhang Fan continued to look down, and this time there was no payment link, perhaps due to a warning from the platform.
"The key lies in the word [Reverse]."
"The human body’s five organs correspond to the Five Elements, follow the current without restraint, it will inevitably lead to the depletion of Essence Qi, death is not far, life force turns into a killing force, what is called life is the root of death."
"Life is death..." Zhang Fan murmured, deep in thought.
"Alchemy Dao cultivation, all use reversal, for instance, Innate Essence belongs to Metal, Primordial Spirit belongs to Wood, Consciousness belongs to Water..."
"Metal and Wood are the mothers of Water and Fire, but the Daoist Sect cultivates the Primordial Spirit, but it must be refined from Consciousness into Innate Essence, known as [Child Producing Mother], which means the existence of Reverse Technique."
Seeing this, Zhang Fan showed a look of deep thought.
In fact, his [North and South Sect Origin] is also a kind of Reverse Technique, Kan and Li exchange places, using Heart Fire to burn Kidney Water, Essence Qi boils, nourishes the body, tempers True Yang, and strengthens the Primordial Spirit.
"The life system of the human body all runs in order, destined not to achieve longevity..."
"There is a technique in the world that, according to Yin Yang Five Elements, starts first with the human life system, reversing all the Five Elements and Five Viscera..."
Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but show an unusual expression.
Even his [North and South Sect Origin] technique only takes the idea of reversal, mobilizing internal Water and Fire, in reality, the body structure hasn’t changed at all, but...
"According to this method of cultivation, such a person’s life system and internal structure are no longer that of an ordinary person."
"Is there such a technique in the world!?" Zhang Fan couldn’t help but show an unusual expression.
"This method has been secretly transmitted since ancient times, it’s rare to see even a trace, those who achieve great success are terrifying in the mortal world, fellow cultivators should retreat three times if encountered..."
This post from the Thousand-Year-Old Demon is terrifying, those who train in this method, their life structure completely surpasses ordinary people, even if encountered by a cultivator, their internal Five Elements can easily influence the opponent, even changing or controlling them.
"Five Elements reverse, outlive tribulation, those who reverse become immortals, those who err become kings..."
"This method is called..."
"Five Elements Mistaken King!!!"
Jiang Hu’s voice ghostly issued from the side, like an apparition, he emerged from nowhere and stared at Zhang Fan’s computer screen.
"You scared the hell out of me..." Zhang Fan shivered: "I’m definitely getting a privacy screen later."
"Who is this person? How dare they talk about this stuff online?"
Jiang Hu stared at Zhang Fan’s computer screen, couldn’t help but ask.
"Five Elements Mistaken King... have you heard of it?" Zhang Fan asked back.
"Back when I was cultivating at Maoshan, I heard the elders mention it..."
"Five Elements reverse, outlive tribulation, those who reverse become immortals, those who err become kings, this is the [Five Elements Mistaken King]."
"That is a legendary Inner Core Technique," Jiang Hu said solemnly.
"Legendary!?’
"Indeed, you know the number [Nine] has a very special meaning in the Daoist Sect. I’ve heard from my sect that since ancient times, there have been Nine Great Legendary Inner Elixir Methods in the Daoist Sect..."
"Five Elements Mistaken King is one of them."
Jiang Hu’s words left Zhang Fan silent, such secret matters are not mentioned in the [Dao Secret Record].
"Since it’s a legend, it can only be treated as a story, in reality, no one’s ever been seen to succeed in mastering it... In fact, it’s unknown whether these Nine Great Inner Elixir Methods even exist."
