Chapter 1949-1.1948 Igniting the Flame Back to Origin
"May I ask, Master, how should one cultivate?" Upon first seeing the two peerless martial arts manuals, "Mingyu Gong" and "Yihua Jieyu," Bai Xueji, the leader of Yonghua Village, was at a loss as to where to begin.
In the world of *Wuxia World: Prison City Conquest*, everyone experiences extraordinary encounters. However, these special "adventure events" lack a fixed script. A significant portion of them are driven by player intervention. For example, the Yonghua Village, struggling due to the ban on prostitution, obtains two peerless martial arts manuals, *Mingyu Gong* and *Yihua Jieyu*, through Wu Chen's intervention, along with miraculous elixirs that can accelerate progress.
"First, cultivate the dantian and gather the qi in the sea of qi. Then practice the divine skill, circulate the qi through the great cycle, clear the eight extraordinary meridians, and use spiritual pills to assist in opening the Ren and Du meridians. The divine skill can then be mastered." Elder Gu Xianniang of Huitian guided patiently: "To be honest, Chief Bai, the top courtesan of our Huixian Yaxu, Qin Cao, and the head of the Emei righteous sect, Abbess Jingyin, are both skilled in this art."
"In that case, thank you for your trouble." The chosen individuals to cultivate this peerless divine skill had already been selected by Bai Xueji, the leader of Yonghua Village. They were Hua Yanhong and Lu Qianqian, following the example of Yaoyue, the Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace, and Lianxing, the Second Mistress. Once the two had achieved perfect cultivation, the skill would be passed on to Yuye, Jinzhi, Mingzhu, Yinjiao, Xiaofeng, and the other young ladies.
As the saying goes, "Plant the dantian and gather the qi in the sea"; "Circulate the qi throughout the body and clear the meridians"; "When the Ren and Du meridians are unblocked, divine skill is achieved."
The first and foremost principle is to "cultivate the dantian and gather qi in the sea".
A teacher's role is to "impart knowledge, instruct in skills, and resolve doubts." Ultimately, "what is difficult for those who don't know is easy for those who do." Qin Cao and Jing Yin are both renowned figures in the field. They have long since mastered the art of imparting knowledge and skills to their disciples.
It should be noted that the true qi injected into the dantian and qihai must be pure. Just as "the heart is the sovereign fire, also called the divine fire, its name is upper dantian; the kidneys are the minister fire, also called the essence fire, its name is middle dantian; the bladder, that is, the qihai below the navel, is the people's fire, its name is lower dantian." This is the true fire of samadhi.
Another example is "One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones". The Three Pure Ones are: Jade Purity, Upper Purity, and Supreme Purity.
There are three dantians: the lower dantian, the middle dantian, and the upper dantian.
The Upper Dantian, the abode of the spirit, is located on the Du meridian between the eyebrows, near the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head. The Middle Dantian, the abode of Qi, is located midway between the Tanzhong and Zhongwan acupoints. The Lower Dantian, the abode of essence, is located in a hollow area one and two-tenths inches below the heart, inward from the Jiuwei acupoint, where acupoints such as Qihai and Shenque are located.
The lower dantian is used for "refining essence into qi" → the middle dantian is used for "refining qi into spirit" → the upper dantian is used for "refining spirit into emptiness" → achieving "unity of heaven and man".
"Planting the dantian" specifically refers to the lower dantian.
Before their arrival, Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, also gifted them a bottle each of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Greater and Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, and the Origin Restoration Pill.
The usage is also very simple: start small and gradually increase, from frugality to extravagance.
Lesser Rejuvenation Pill (Gathering Qi) → Marrow Cleansing Pill (Expanding Capacity) → Greater Rejuvenation Pill (Replenishing) → Returning to Origin Pill (Unblocking).
One more point needs to be emphasized: panaceas are nothing more than the five internal organs (please note).
The most common method of administration is to hold it in the mouth, pressing it under the tongue, waiting for the saliva to dissolve the medicinal properties, allowing it to enter the body through the limbs and the eight extraordinary meridians, and then circulate it throughout the body, sinking the Qi to the Dantian. Anything swallowed whole is not a so-called miraculous elixir. The reason is simpler: blood vessels and Qi vessels—a difference of one word makes a world of difference. Treating illness and practicing Qigong are also completely different, like going in opposite directions.
They should not be confused.
Closer to home.
Hua Yanhong swallowed a small pill and placed it under her tongue. As the medicine took effect, a fragrance filled her mouth and nose (synesthesia), which Qin Cao forced down her throat with his palm and into her Chong meridian.
The Chong meridian, one of the eight extraordinary meridians, regulates the Qi and blood of the twelve meridians, hence it is called the "Sea of the Twelve Meridians." It is closely related to reproductive function; when the Chong and Ren meridians are abundant, menstruation can proceed normally, hence it is also called the "Sea of Blood." This meridian intersects at the following acupoints: Huiyin (Ren meridian), Qichong (Foot Yangming meridian), Henggu, Dahe, Qixue, Siman, Zhongzhu (Foot Shaoyin meridian), Yinjiao (Ren meridian), Huangshu, Shangqu, Shiguan, Yindu, Tonggu, and Youmen (Foot Shaoyin meridian), a total of 14 acupoints.
The pathways of meridians can be simply understood as subway lines in a human city. In this way, each acupoint is equivalent to a station. Acupoints at the intersection of two meridians are equivalent to transfer stations on the two subway lines. True Qi (blood Qi) can be transported throughout the body's meridians along specific trajectories (to be fair, the adults' division of meridians into blood vessels and Qi vessels is a stroke of genius).
Each school of qigong has its own emphasis, and the way true qi circulates varies greatly. However, they all lead to the same goal: guiding true qi through the eight extraordinary meridians, completing one cycle, which is called a "Great Circulation." When the Ren and Du meridians are opened, the circulation of true qi is called the "Great Circulation." Qin Cao and Jing Yin first memorize the qigong path of the "Mingyu Gong," and then guide true qi to circulate throughout the body, sinking it to the dantian. They continuously refine the medicinal power (spiritual power) of the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill into pure true qi, which is then gathered into the dantian. This process is repeated. When the medicinal effect is exhausted, a Marrow Cleansing Pill is ingested to expand the eight extraordinary meridians and open the Ren and Du meridians. Then, a Greater Rejuvenation Pill is ingested, and true qi fills the limbs and bones, the eight extraordinary meridians flow like raging waves, and a subtle vortex appears within the dantian.
Finally, take one Guiyuan Pill to ignite the Samadhi True Fire and perform the "Guiding Fire Back to Origin" technique.
His entire body blazes with inner energy, tempering his mortal form. He purifies himself, returning to his original, pure self. His spirit is radiant and restrained, his appearance as graceful as a jade-like immortal.
"Ming Yu Gong" is a great achievement.
Seeing that Hua Yanhong and Lu Qianqian had mastered their skills overnight and become top-tier martial arts masters, Bai Xueji, the leader of Yonghua Village, was overjoyed: "May I ask, Master, now that you have mastered your divine skills, where is your inner core?"
"Simply join our sect, and the Dugu Sword Furnace will be at your disposal at any time. Furthermore, Elder Honghua, the Sword Forging Elder, will forge divine weapons; Elder Ximen Rou, the Blissful Elder, will craft the Chastity Armor; and Elder Wei Yueji, the Western Region Elder, will sew the Rainbow Feather Robe..."
"Very well." The reason Bai Xueji, the leader of Yonghua Village, sought to be self-sufficient was because she was surrounded by powerful enemies and her life was precarious. Since the Demon Hunting Sect possessed such extraordinary abilities, joining them now was perfectly timed. In this way, not only could the true essence absorbed through the *Mingyu Gong* be continuously used for alchemy, but she could also refine inner cores anytime, anywhere.
Thus, according to the rules of the Flower Pavilion Competition, the top courtesans from Yonghua Village listed in the "Book of Life and Death" and the "Portraits of Beauties"—Bai Xueji, Hua Yanhong, Lu Qianqian, and Zhu Lili—were all assigned to the Wentian Pavilion. The demonic brush hanging from the glazed roof once again moved without wind. With a stroke of the brush, mechanisms throughout the Flower Pavilion activated.
In a flash, the five houses that had previously been combined into one, forming a magnificent two-tiered pavilion with three rooms on the bottom and two rooms on the top, were replaced by the entire Yonghua Village, which now had arcades on three sides.
Above the imposing gate of the village, six house plaques are hung. It forms its own distinct area among the brothels, with an imposing presence.
With a string of victories, everyone could hardly contain their joy.
They also recruited four more courtesans, along with several more male prostitutes. The addition of new members strengthened their household, bringing double joy.
The uninvited guests who came to offer their congratulations were none other than Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, along with Yue Lingshan, the junior sister of Huashan Sword Sect, and Hua Niang, the manager of Wuyin Flower Boat, and others.
"What brings you here, Manager Du?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, personally came out to greet him.
"Having heard that Huitian Pavilion has merged with Yonghua Village, I have come here specifically to request a place." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibao Pavilion, got straight to the point: "Place Baibao Pavilion in the village."
"I couldn't be happier." Princess's strategist Li Huixin nodded happily: "If Manager Du joins my Demon Hunting Sect, all seven factions of the sect will share in the honor."
"There's no rush," said Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, with a smile that could launch a thousand ships. "How about we help you brothels win the trophy first?"
“Why not?” Right Protector Xiahou Ying arrived upon hearing the news: “Yonghua is a fortress of its own, not located in the Changlefang flower pavilion. It can shrink the earth to an inch, travel a thousand miles in a step; it can overturn rivers and seas, and move Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed. Whether it is the Hundred Treasures Pavilion or the Misty Flower Boat, it can accommodate them all.”
"Thank you, Right Protector." The group was overjoyed.
Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, chanted an incantation. Using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Technique, she moved Baibaoge and Blackwood Cliff (Mist-Hidden Flower Boat) into Yonghua Village.
It's not too late to move to Wangyun Cliff after we win the brothel.
