for Advance Chapter
The first level of foundation building has a physical strength of one horsepower, the second level of inner vision has five horsepower, the third level of Qi training has ten horsepower, the fourth level of acupuncture point breaking has twenty horsepower, and the fifth level of meridian opening has fifty horsepower! Horsepower is an ancient unit of measurement, one horsepower is equivalent to fifty kilograms today. Five horsepower is equivalent to two hundred and fifty kilograms. In ancient times, a key measure of mastery was "five horses cannot destroy their corpse." Cultivating to the second level of inner vision would qualify one as a top-tier master, and reaching the fifth level of meridian opening could even possess a strength of two thousand five hundred kilograms, over a ton!
Another significant benefit of the Yellow Emperor's Bible is its ability to stimulate cell vitality, remove impurities from the body, heal wounds, slow aging, and even cure illnesses and save lives. Upon reaching the fifth level of cultivation, one's appearance remains unchanged, breaking through the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth for the first time, and reaching a lifespan of up to three hundred years!
The so-called "base building" means laying the foundation. As we all know, the key to building a tall building is to lay a solid foundation. Only with a solid foundation can the building be built. If the foundation is not solid, even if the building is built, it will collapse.
For someone like Lin Junyi, who has been frail and sickly since childhood and suffers from congenital defects, it's simply impossible for him to withstand the impact of the vital energy on his body if he wants to practice the secret techniques. The basic requirements for building a foundation are, first, to remain intact, then to "fill gaps and plug leaks"—replenishing lost vital energy and eliminating the various pathologies caused by insufficient zhenqi (vital energy). Only after going through the four stages of qi-building, qi-moving, unblocking, and impacting can one achieve a successful foundation.
Of course, this first level doesn't require dual cultivation, but rather must be accomplished alone. All techniques from the second level onwards must be practiced with a woman, using the woman's extreme yin energy to neutralize the man's constantly generated yang energy, ultimately achieving a balance between yin and yang. Otherwise, the yang energy will be excessive, leading to self-immolation and death!
After Lin Junyi recalled the exercises in his mind, he began to have a more comprehensive understanding of them.
At this point, Lin Junyi had already deeply experienced the difficulty of practicing the Yellow Emperor's Bible. What infuriated him most was that every time he advanced in his practice, he had to consume special elixirs. Even the lowest-grade of these elixirs required ten-year-old wild ginseng as a lead. This was truly appalling, truly absurd!
"I thought I'd found a treasure, but it was all in vain. In the end, I discovered it was a piece of junk... Well, never mind. I'll just take it one step at a time. Things will work out in the end. Who knows, there might be some adventures in the future!"
Lin Junyi laughed at himself. His family's financial situation was just enough to make ends meet. There was no extra money to buy those expensive herbs for himself!
