Chapter 6, The Immortal of the Land

Think of it and then try it

Before long, a bowl of rice and quite a few dishes were consumed

At this moment, Fang Yi finally understood the power of the "Golden Core Cultivator". No wonder those who cultivated the Golden Core in ancient times were referred to as terrestrial immortals!

Fang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief

Three bowls

I can transcend my physical body to see what is happening with it

It seems that there is nothing wrong with my health; I am simply not eating enough

So how can one observe

In the kitchen

Uncertain whether the feeling is right

Especially in the stomach, a large amount of gastric acid is secreted, rapidly dissolving food and transforming it into strands of another type of energy that enters the kidneys, which then converts it into the energy previously observed and absorbed by the golden elixir

However, observing the internal body is no longer an issue

This introduction is somewhat different from the situation I just observed

Fang Yi once again immersed himself in a state of cultivation, mobilizing the energy of the Golden Elixir

After all, my mother has a relatively small appetite and usually only eats a small bowl.

Fang Yi truly found himself at a loss, and could only suppress his inner distractions, allowing himself to enter a state of cultivation

It now appears that the Golden Elixir not only provides energy for the biological energy field but also supplies energy when the biological energy field separates from the physical body, preventing the physical body from becoming depleted of energy after the spirit has left.

The essence of the day after tomorrow, also known as the essence of the five organs and six bowels, originates from the subtle essence of food and water. It is generated and nourished by the spleen and stomach, with the essence of food and water entering the stomach. After digestion in the stomach and transformation by the spleen, the essence and energy of food and water are produced and transported to the five organs and six bowels, thereby becoming the essence and energy of the organs and bowels

He immediately got up and served himself a large bowl again

Isn't the state of consciousness transcending the physical body capable of observing all things

six bowls

He hurriedly took a bowl to scoop rice from the rice cooker

Fang Yi infused this power into the constructed statue model

Fang Yi looked around the room.

He picked up the wooden stick and gently waved it diagonally with his hand.

The wooden strip was unexpectedly cut off by his palm and fell to the floor

He recalled the contents of the cultivation method: the True Water of Heaven, hidden within the gallbladder, the harmony of Yin and Yang, descending to become elixir, resembling a single dewdrop, the mountains and rivers of the universe permeating the spiritual body... the grand energy soaring throughout the universe, the bitter smoke curling upwards around the tower...

There is still one part that is in motion

He was indeed extremely hungry and directly served himself a large bowl of rice to eat

Fang Yi attempted to mobilize the energy of the Golden Core, but the Golden Core is an ethereal energy mass. Without entering a state of soul separation, he was unable to command it at all

Isn't this my golden elixir

At this moment, he clearly saw a surge of energy emanating from the position of the kidneys, successfully absorbed by the golden elixir

Fang Yi clearly saw that there was an ethereal entity in a certain position below his lower abdomen, continuously "releasing energy," closely connected to the energy field of his physical body, as if maintaining the functions of his flesh.

Let's find something to experiment with

For example, the absorption of food

Suddenly, he thought of something else, "Since I can manipulate the power of the Golden Elixir in a physical state, can the physical body also exhibit extraordinary strength?"

If Fang Yi had eaten this much before, he would definitely be full

Fang Yi, immersed in a state of cultivation, felt a surge of heat circulating within his body

He blinked his eyes

Indeed, it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut

I hope there won't be any issues with my health. Under normal circumstances, eating this much would be enough to make a pig burst, let alone a person like me

The dishes are quite sumptuous

It is quite strange today; after consuming a large bowl of rice and a considerable amount of vegetables, I felt absolutely nothing, as if I had merely eaten a piece of biscuit

Fang Yi does not feel full at all, and is genuinely a bit scared, contemplating whether to go to the hospital for a check-up

But new questions have arisen

He first retracted his energy, then crouched down to pick up the wooden strip and looked at the cut surface. He discovered that the cut was very neat, with charred carbon ash on top, as if this piece of wood had not only been subjected to the sharpest "knife" cutting but also endured the ravages of endless high temperatures.

At first, Fang Yi was puzzled as to why cultivating the Golden Elixir seemed to be of little use. Later, he realized that the Golden Elixir was not useless; rather, it needed to be activated in a state of consciousness transcending the physical body in order to provide energy for one's thoughts

Not all operations have ceased

He controlled this force to his palm, and then observed carefully, finding that there was nothing unusual about his hand

Oh? So this is the reason why I digest so quickly

It is merely a state of transcending the physical body in thought, unable to observe the myriad of things in the universe

Fang Yidun suddenly realized, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that fortunately, when his Golden Core was taken, his soul did not leave his body for too long; otherwise, his physical body would have likely decayed.

Since the energy field ceases to function after separating from the physical body, it is impossible to observe the body functioning correctly

Fang Yi contemplated transcending his physical form to observe his own body, but when his consciousness detached from his physical self, he was astonished to find that his bodily functions seemed to have pressed the pause button, showing no signs of activity whatsoever; even his breathing had ceased.

He decided to give it a try

It seems that this method is not feasible, as it is impossible to mobilize the bioenergy field's power in a purely physical state

No

If all goes as expected, this surge of heat is the result of my mobilization of the power of the Golden Elixir, also known as Danqi

No wonder I have been feeling hungry and physically exhausted today; it turns out that my energy has all been converted into innate essence and absorbed by the golden elixir, leaving my body unable to keep up with the necessary nutrition

In the next moment, he felt that the statue model came to life once again

Immediately, the golden elixir transmitted a surge of energy that stimulated various functions of his body

Fang Yi first withdrew his thoughts back to his physical body, sitting there to contemplate carefully

By the way, I was able to sense Aunt Wang's wishes even in my physical state. The reason I could do this is entirely due to the energy field model I constructed within my own biological energy field, which is similar to that of the statue. Can I use this model to observe my body?

The final focus is locked on the firewood.

Fang Yi was extremely hungry. He opened the pantry and took a look, discovering that the middle shelf was filled with dishes: there was braised pork, stewed chicken soup, steamed fish, stir-fried greens, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes

According to the teachings of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy", the Taoist term for transcending the physical body is known as the "spirit and soul leaving the body". In reality, based on my observations of the energy field model constructed from the deity statue, there is no such thing as a spirit or soul. Each person's body possesses an energy field that governs physical actions. With the assistance of the Golden Elixir's power, I am able to detach the biological energy field from the physical body. Since the Golden Elixir energy provides support, there is no need to fear extinction like Old Miao, thus allowing one to perceive the true world.

Since the golden elixir can provide energy for the biological energy field, can it also supply energy to the constructed model to enable its operation

The golden elixir requires energy for maintenance, and this energy comes from the kidneys

The entire pot of rice, except for a little that my mother ate at noon, can almost be said to have remained untouched

I remember that Taoist cultivation places great emphasis on nurturing the innate essence. Taoism indicates that the innate essence is inherited from one's parents and is inherent at birth; it is the primordial substance that facilitates reproduction and constitutes the human body, also referred to as the innate true seed. According to Taoist teachings, the innate true seed does not generate innate essence out of thin air; after birth, it requires continuous nourishment from acquired essence to grow and thrive.

Hiss, this is truly terrifying. What would happen if I were to strike someone with this knife?

Yet he could feel his palm filled with immense power, as if it could split mountains and shatter stones

He was momentarily taken aback

Fang Yi generally understood what was going on

Fang Yi continuously recalled the information regarding innate essence and acquired essence

Hey

Nine bowls

In the end, he consumed an entire rice cooker full of rice along with four dishes and a soup, yet he was only half full

Let us see if the state of cultivation can mobilize the power of the Golden Elixir

The energy of the kidneys is not generated without reason; it needs to be absorbed from external sources

Because Fang Yi just saw that the essence produced after digesting the food he consumed was directly absorbed by the kidneys, then transformed into innate essence, and subsequently successfully absorbed by the golden elixir

Fang Yi is able to clearly see everything around him through the model he has constructed

In the next second, there was a loud clang

Most importantly, Fang Yi did not feel that he had consumed too much energy
