"The fourth turning of Mr. Chen's internal energy formula is very important and cannot be taken lightly."
Once one can enter this turn, Chen Yun will be able to reach the realm of earth-bound immortals.
As midnight approached, he first adjusted his mind and spirit to achieve a state of tranquility.
After a moment, Chen Yun's heart became still, and he felt the surrounding yin energy becoming increasingly dense.
"It's almost midnight, let's try to practice the fourth turn, and see if we can enhance the essence spirit to the extent of leaving the body and achieving immortality on earth."
Chen Yun closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, clacking his teeth thirty-six times, calming his mind and holding his breath.
This turn is different from previous practices, requiring the nose to be filled with uninterrupted breath.
Chen Yun is not new to meditation, so he can easily accomplish this step.
Soon, he achieved the state of having no breath coming from his nose.
If someone placed their fingers under his nose at this moment, they would certainly think he had attained enlightenment!
Once he managed to stop the breath coming from his nose, Chen Yun slowly began to move the danyqi within his body, aiming to fill it throughout.
This is a critical step that determines whether he can rapidly strengthen his essence spirit.
After a short period of adjustment, the danyqi filled every single cell in his body.
At this moment, Chen Yun's qi flowed through his tongue, and the danyqi within his body gradually became excited, causing the saliva in his mouth to overflow.
He slowly swallowed it, allowing his will to return to his heart.
This mouthful of saliva is called the "heart-returning" fluid, which is more nourishing than any magical elixirs.
Of course, the most important aspect of internal alchemy is the "refining" process. Even the best "elixirs" require divine fire to refine them in order to fully exert their true "medicinal effect".
Chen Yun tried to stir the fire of his mind and spirit, "refining" the heart-returning fluid.
At this moment, one needs to master the fire timing carefully. If not, it could lead to failure.
Chen Yun, practicing the fourth turn technique he had just created for the first time, naturally could not control the fire timing well.
As expected, the first attempt at "refining" was unsuccessful.
Without a trace of discouragement, Chen Yun said, "The timing is incredibly important in internal alchemy. Practicing the fourth turn for the first time, it's entirely normal to miss the timing. Don't rush, take your time and slowly adjust the fire."
He repeated the steps from earlier, creating another mouthful of golden and jade-like fluid, which he then swallowed and returned his intent to his heart.
He once again stirred the fire of his mind and spirit.
Unfortunately, this time as well, it failed. The fire timing was a bit off.
Chen Yun calmed down and sensed the timing of the fire he had just used, roughly understanding how "old" it was.
After understanding, he began his third attempt at refining the golden and jade fluid.
Perhaps with the experience from his previous failures.
This time, he was able to easily grasp the feeling and control the fire timing at a perfect level.
One by one, strands of danyqi were produced along with the refining of the golden and jade fluid, converging into the golden elixir.
At this moment, Chen Yun's internal vision could be seen to be different from the previous time. The newly born danyqi looked significantly different - not as bright red as before, but more like a dark red tinted with black.
Once the dark red danyqi was born, it was continuously integrating and solidifying the bright red danyqi.
At the same time, the essence spirit descended, nourished by the new danyqi, and seemed to grow faster.
Chen Yun remained calm and continued his practice of the fourth turn technique.
Initially, except for some visible changes when viewed internally, the physical body showed little reaction.
As the practice continued, he gradually felt warmth throughout his body, with his five internal organs heating up, a light sweat breaking out, and an incredible sense of comfort in his limbs.
It felt like he was enjoying the most wonderful massage.
Of course, massage does not bring such comfort. He was just making a metaphor.
Soon, one round of practice came to an end.
Chen Yun sensed that a small part of the danyqi had turned into dark red, and his physical body seemed to have become much stronger.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the essence spirit had grown significantly.
It seemed as if the newly born dark red danyqi was a kind of "elixir" specifically designed to nourish and strengthen the essence spirit.
"According to my plan, during each practice session before the completion of this turn, performing the exercises three times will make both the essence spirit and the physical body feel tired, regardless of whether it is beyond the original level."
Chen Yun pondered silently, "Now that I've completed one round of practice, I can still perform the exercises twice more."
After a brief rest, Chen Yun continued with the second round of practice.
Just like before, he filled his body with danyqi, channeled qi through his tongue, and a mouthful of saliva overflowed.
Chen Yun slowly swallowed the golden and jade-like fluid, returned his intent to his heart, and excited the fire of his mind and spirit to refine.
Because he had already practiced once, this time he quickly entered the state, making his whole body warm, his five internal organs heating up, a light sweat breaking out, and his limbs feeling comfortable.
Although the number of danyqi within his body didn't increase much, it did become slightly faster in its assimilation and transformation into dark red.
The essence spirit and physical body were also constantly growing in strength.
After completing the second round of practice, Chen Yun took another brief rest and then began the third round of practice.
Time passed one second at a time.
Slowly, an hour passed by.
Chen Yun finally completed three rounds of practice and gradually began to gather his qi and adjust himself.
He did not immediately open his eyes, but instead inspected his condition internally.
"Although the amount of danyqi has not increased, it has assimilated approximately one-tenth of the danyqi."
Chen Yun kept observing, "Furthermore, my physical body should have grown by about ten percent compared to before, and the essence spirit has grown... thirty percent!"
This rate of growth is undoubtedly incredible!
Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, "I had only enlarged my essence spirit by a star half point when I previously utilized Bainaojiao's essence spirit source to practice. However, with the creation of the fourth turn technique of 'Mr. Chen's Internal Alchemy Scripture', only after the first practice did it make my essence spirit grow as if I had refined Bainaojiao's essence spirit source for a day."
With this pace, it should not be too great a challenge for him to strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality.
The only problem is that it might not be enough to reach the realm of earth-bound immortality within a month.
"Looking around and observing, I'll first calm my mind and focus on practicing."
Chen Yun knew that to successfully strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality, he should focus on cultivating his mind and character for the next ten days, rather than continuing to explore Mauigui Mountain whenever he had the chance.
Thinking about it, he slowly opened his eyes.
Niu Daliang has been paying attention to Chen Yun's practice situation.
As soon as he saw Chen Yun open his eyes, he asked immediately with concern, "Mr. Chen, how was your practice?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's not bad, I just created the fourth turn of internal alchemy techniques and haven't found any issues so far."
Niu Daliang blinked and asked, "Are you trying to reach the realm of earth-bound immortality?"
Chen Yun asked in some surprise, "How did you know that?"
He had only mentioned that he was at a critical point in his practice, but had not told Niu Daliang that he was aiming for the realm of earth-bound immortality.
Niu Daliang laughed and said, "Just now, as you practiced, your divine light has already appeared not only on your face but also throughout your entire body, although not very thick and difficult to notice for those who are not careful, I have observed it keenly, and this divine light is clearly the glow emanating from your essence spirit. You have already reached the later stage of immortality realm. Now that the divine light flows out during practice, I guessed that you were striving for the realm of earth-bound immortality."
Ah, now I see.
Chen Yun admitted, "I am indeed striving for the realm of earth-bound immortality."
With this said, Niu Daliang couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Chen, if my memory serves me well, you are only around sixty or seventy years old, yet you are already striving for the realm of earth-bound immortality. It's truly incredible. I have practiced for several hundred years and have only reached the mid-stage of immortality realm. Even so, it can be considered a very high level of talent. In the Jingtun Cave of Yuemingtan Lake, except for Long Zhan Tian, who has a shorter practice time than a thousand years? Taking Jing Chen Master as an example, who practiced for two thousand years and only reached the later stage of immortality realm. Compared to you, he is far behind."
Chen Yun thought to himself, "Of course, with the 'Great Luo Elixir,' you can practice so quickly."
Of course, he wouldn't say that to him.
Niu Daliang changed the subject and asked, "How long do you think it will take you to successfully strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality?"
"It's hard to say," Chen Yun thought carefully about his practice just now and made a prediction, "Based on my previous practice, it might take a year and a half. However, I have a treasure here that can shorten the time I need to strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality, so personally, I think it should be possible to try to officially strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality in about a month."
Upon hearing this, Niu Daliang became excited and said, "I had never expected that I, old Niu, would have the opportunity to witness Mr. Chen striving for the realm of earth-bound immortality. If I can gain something from it, it might even be helpful for me to strive for the realm of earth-bound immortality in the future."
The two of them chatted a bit more, and Chen Yun once again immersed himself in the reflections and digestion of his previous practice.
