15: Chapter 15 Progress and New Experimental Techniques

Therefore, regarding the Professional information control regulations specially issued by the state.

Most people participating in the job change process, from the initial hope to the disappointment of failure, gradually calmed down.

"After all, who wouldn't want to become a genius?"

Instead, they recognized the state's actions; a Professional was just someone trained into a specialized talent in one aspect, without any ability to achieve immortality or extend lifespan.

Once these Professionals were trained, the results of their breakthroughs would still be converted through the state, ultimately benefiting everyone.

Most people on this platform were members who had experienced exploration in meteorite impact zones.

Some had even encountered Mutant creatures and survived with difficulty; most were quite pragmatic.

"Living their own lives well and not causing trouble for the state was already good enough."

Wang An felt that perhaps he could find a suitable time to get certified as a Professional.

Of course, this would be after the management of Professionals was relaxed. After all, if he became a certified Professional, he would need to cooperate with state research institutions to make breakthroughs in various currently lacking fields.

His range of activity and time would be restricted, and having no energy to pursue his own goals would not be worth the gain.

Thinking of this.

Wang An turned off his phone and began to practice.

At 11:00 PM on April 6th, the weather cleared up. Moonlight bathed the earth.

Inside his rented room, a wisp of Lunar Qi was gathered and refined into his body. Wang An used the [Qi Refining] skill to combine 108 wisps of Lunar True Qi in his dantian.

The Lunar True Qi, emitting a silvery-white light, gradually began to form a full moon. Its shape gradually solidified, emitting a faint glow.

When this gaseous full moon stopped changing and faint patterns vaguely appeared, a message surfaced in his mind.

[Innate Lunar Essence Spirit-Nourishing Mysterious Qi]: Its shape is like a silver moon, its light illuminates the lunar essence, which is yin in nature, nourishing the spirit and revealing wondrous methods.

Wondrous Method: Meditate on the Wondrous Qi, reflect the lunar essence, and nourish the soul.

In this way, this strand of Wondrous Qi provided Wang An with a heavenly method to improve his Spirit attribute.

According to the description of this Wondrous Method, one could nourish the soul by visualizing the lunar essence.

The soul, nourished by this energy of heaven and earth, gradually grew stronger, transcending its past scattered form, and gradually moved towards aggregation and purity.

Eventually, it would achieve the manifestation of the Lunar Moon Deity image behind the head, possessing the merit of illuminating the wisdom of living beings and inspiring the intelligence of all beasts.

Wanting to achieve such merit was not something a mere mortal could hope for.

He called up his panel to check the results of his cultivation over these past few days.

"I think it is necessary to use [Qi Refining] to supplement my Qi attribute, which is falling a bit behind."

[Name: Wang An; Essence: 2.02; Qi: 1.89; Spirit: 2.53; Talents: Incarnation, Qi Observation; Professions: Intelligent Life, Student, Martial Artist, Archer, Qi Refiner; Skills: [Refining Essence into Qi, Beginner, 72/100], [Compound Archery (Proficient, 300/1000)]; Innate Qi: [Innate Lunar Essence Spirit-Nourishing Mysterious Qi]]

Because those basic techniques like Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and Mindfulness Meditation had reached their limit in tempering the body and no longer provided growth, even if he reached full proficiency, he could not advance to a higher level.

Therefore, Wang An directly integrated them into the [Qi Refiner]'s [Refining Essence into Qi]. When his attributes exceeded 2 points, the 0.04 attribute gain per day from the previous [Refining Essence into Qi] was reduced to 0.02.

That is to say, he could only increase his Spirit by 0.01 and his Essence and Qi by 0.02 per day through [Refining Essence into Qi].

In the future, he would need to prepare some Great Medicine and improve his growth rate through dietary supplements.

Now Wang An needed a new profession or a new method to increase his attribute points.

To increase his cultivation speed, he needed a new, higher-level technique to improve his body attributes from a higher perspective.

Just as his Incarnation returned, the company had been selecting new exploration targets over the past few days. Areas like those dozens of meteorite impact sites had basically already been entered by multiple Exploration Teams.

The number of usable job-change stones left behind was becoming fewer and fewer.

Wang An adjusted his direction and began to focus on collecting information and data on meteorite-rich zones.

Therefore, his Incarnation could just use these few days to experiment with [Refining Qi into Spirit].

Now, after the blessing of multiple professions and his understanding of various Daoist canons, Wang An gradually gained a clear understanding of how to proceed on the path ahead.

Stage one of [Refining Qi into Spirit], the Great Heavenly Circuit, the intercourse of Heaven and Earth, all meridians are unblocked.

One needs to achieve the qualitative change from the Small Heavenly Circuit to the Great Heavenly Circuit...

After long-term and correct practice of "Refining Essence into Qi", the True Qi (life energy) in his body was already very abundant and pure.

When True Qi was full to the extreme, it would naturally overflow from the dominant Conception and Governor vessels. Without the need for forced guidance by intent, it would automatically follow the most unobstructed path, breaking through and unblocking all subtle meridians throughout the body.

Finally, reaching "Bright Insight" is an internal experience.

This describes a kind of clear, bright, and unobstructed awareness of the inside of the body where consciousness reaches, not seeing light with the naked eye.

To achieve this, there is actually no specific "step-by-step" operational method.

Its core is "Wu Wei" (non-action).

On the foundation of being proficient in the previous "Small Heavenly Circuit" practice, the practitioner needs to enter a deeper state of stillness, abandon all subjective guiding intentions, merely maintain "observation," and let the abundant energy run naturally according to its own nature.

Forcing guidance with intent is very likely to cause Qi and blood to run wild.

Stage two of [Refining Qi into Spirit], Gathering Great Medicine, seven-day barrier crossing and ingestion.

This step requires taking the embryonic form of the "Golden Elixir" (Great Medicine) that has condensed, and safely migrating it from the Lower Dantian to the Upper Dantian to be sealed and tempered.

After passing the first stage of the Great Heavenly Circuit, in extreme stillness.

The Lower Dantian appears with three instances of internal light similar to the sun or lightning; this is regarded as the physiological signal that the "Great Medicine" has been refined and can be taken.

After the Great Medicine is refined, its energy is extremely strong, requiring a special method called "Five Dragons."

It is lifted from the Weilu along the Governor vessel, rushing through the Jade Pillow barrier at the back of the head.

This barrier is the most difficult and requires a true master to be present to protect the process with heart methods or techniques, preventing the energy from failing to break through or going astray.

In minor cases, it causes splitting headaches; in severe cases, it damages the nerves.

After the Great Medicine successfully passes the barrier, it is guided to the Upper Dantian to be slightly nourished by the spirit and intent, then descends and returns to the Middle Dantian to be sealed.

This process is called "Ingestion" and "Moving the Cauldron and Changing the Furnace."

The most critical point is that this entire stage must be carried out in a "Great Stillness" of high-level meditation, without any interference from distracting thoughts, and the grasp of timing and heat must be precise to the millimeter.

Stage three of [Refining Qi into Spirit], Nurturing the Holy Fetus, ten months of nurturing the fetus
