Chapter 377: 【157】White Lotus Changes Hands, Visiting the ’Godhood Plan’_6
"Wang Longhu, although you’re quite young, you’ve already matured into a Gang Qi Grandmaster. I’m wondering what insights you might have on Condensing Pill in the Upper Dantian?" Li Qionghao inquired.
This person is a triplet, but problems occurred during embryo development in the mother’s womb.
In medical terms, Li Qionghao’s embryo absorbed his two siblings.
When Li Qionghao’s mother gave birth, she had expected triplets but delivered only one child.
This child was born with three faces, with sensory perception and martial arts talent far surpassing ordinary people, considered the embodied form of divine trinity.
He is a rare and exceptional child seen once in a millennium, as he absorbed the bodies of his two siblings, making his insights incredibly terrifying.
While conversing with others, Li Qionghao can use one of the three faces on all sides, except the back of the head, for dialogue and confrontation.
"You’ve asked at the perfect time. If you’d asked a few days earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to answer. Jiang Tianzhen told me a few words right before he died,
he said the path of the Upper Dantian lies in cultivating the Spirit. When a person’s Spirit is strong enough, they can control their skin, cells, and epidermis,
causing wounds to heal instantaneously, and they can also control their emotions, discarding fear, extreme emotions, sadness, excitement, and other human desires when necessary."
Wang Longhu showed a mysterious smile: "I have reason to suspect that Condensing Pill in the Upper Dantian is condensing the soul, the three souls and seven spirits of a person."
"Soul!" Li Qionghao and the eunuch Jinbao both looked at Wang Longhu in astonishment.
They couldn’t understand why he felt that condensing in the Upper Dantian involved an elusive, metaphysical existence like the soul.
Wang Longhu slowly said: "Daoist School believes that the human Spirit can be called the soul, and the soul itself is divided into three souls and seven spirits.
Volume 54 of the ’Cloud Casket Seven Signs’ mentions that Daoists say people have seven spirits, each with a name.
The first spirit is called the Corpse Dog, the second is called the Hidden Arrow, the third is called the Bird’s Shadow, the fourth is called the Devourer, the fifth is called No Poison, the sixth is called Purifier, the seventh is called Smelly Lung.
The seven spirits are governed by the life soul, and after the life soul inhabits the body, it distributes energy across the human’s seven chakras, forming the seven spirits.
Spirits are unique to the human body; when a person dies, the seven spirits dissipate and the life soul departs, signifying the end of life.
Daoist alchemists believe a person lives because they possess ’energy’, the three souls being spiritual energy residing in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantian,
while the seven spirits are material energy residing in the human’s base chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow chakra, crown chakra.
The energy keeping a person alive is produced by the cyclical movement of these seven spirits from head to foot and foot back to head.
Are you familiar with adrenaline? It’s said that this substance is energy produced by the heart chakra, and the other six chakras each have their own unique energy they can produce.
For the human body to break through, it relies on the energy of the seven spirits. Thus, I infer that the Upper Dantian requires us to gather all the energy of the three souls and seven spirits to the Upper Dantian, which is the Forehead Acupoint,
and once the Condensing Pill succeeds, perhaps we’ll achieve out-of-body experience and traverse the heavens and earth."
Li Qionghao and the eunuch Jinbao were both shocked by Wang Longhu’s speculation.
If the Qi and Blood Condensing Pill in the Middle Dantian is imaginable, then Wang Longhu’s mention of soul Condensing Pill thoroughly exceeded their imagination.
Out-of-body experience, traversing the heavens and earth?
This is no longer martial arts but Immortal Technique, existing only in ancient mythological novels about Divine Power.
"Don’t just stand there looking dumbfounded. I said it’s only my guess and not necessarily true." Wang Longhu comforted.
Indeed, some old folks are way too rigid, lacking imagination. No wonder they’re still stuck at the Gang Qi stage after so many years, unable to progress.
"Hahaha, interesting, truly interesting." Li Qionghao regained his composure, reflecting on Wang Longhu’s speculation, greatly inspired.
Though he didn’t entirely approve of Wang Longhu’s ideas, it nonetheless opened his mind to some ideas.
Led by Li Qionghao, Wang Longhu arrived at an enormous laboratory, roughly five hundred square meters.
At the center of the lab was a large transparent glass chamber filled with pale green liquid.
Inside was a naked man submerged, his body covered in red and blue tubes.
His posture was fetal, arms crossed as if an unborn baby awaiting birth within amniotic fluid.
"This is an experimental subject currently undergoing level 11 modification. Originally, he was specimen number 1 from the aquarium, performing too exceptionally on body functions,
was recently brought in for level 11 modification experiments," Jinbao the eunuch explained to Wang Longhu and Li Qionghao.
Li Qionghao had secluded himself inside mountain caves for years, knowing less about the White Lotus Society experiments than Wang Longhu.
Therefore, Jinbao the eunuch, as the representative of the White Lotus Saint Emperor, had to explain it to them.
"Looks similar to a human, quite different from specimen number 1 in my conservatory that resembles a boar head," Wang Longhu remarked.
"Indeed, Mr. Wang. Specimens in the aquarium mostly undergo lung-jaw connection and fish gill modification experiments,
we attempted to implant electric structures in the human body from electric eels, hoping to enable humans to possess electrophysiological cells and release electric currents as an attack method,
but the failure rate is too high. No successes in recent years. We even tried modifying human bodies with squid ink sacs,
so the body could possess an organ for storing and secreting liquid, then filling it with toxic fluids or adrenaline that could serve as secret weapons in modification experiments,
but ultimately failed. This specimen number 1, though appearing human, possesses great white shark genes within, with an extraordinary bite force,
and has fish gills allowing long-duration breathing underwater, making him an exceptionally powerful aquatic warrior. If he succeeds in level 11 modification,
it will significantly impact maritime circumstances worldwide, potentially putting the East Asian sea region under White Lotus Society control."
Jinbao the eunuch laughed heartily, giving a detailed explanation, but didn’t notice that
while speaking, the man inside the transparent chamber suddenly opened his eyes furiously, glaring with murderous intent at everyone outside.
He opened his mouth wide, the corners splitting to the temples, revealing a chaotic set of fangs like those of a great white shark.
"Roar!"
The man yelled out loud, though sound can’t propagate underwater, yet it formed waves turning into underwater currents, fiercely crashing against the glass chamber.
