Ten years later.
Atop Qishan.
A boy around ten years old sits cross-legged on a piece of Qingshi, meditating and refining qi.
"The world contains primal energy, where one qi gives birth to all things. For us Qi Refiners, the first step into the path is to sense the primal qi. After passing the sensory threshold, one finds the qi most suitable for oneself from the myriad of qi, cleansing the entire body, and forging a specific Dao Foundation. These can be further subdivided into 'Pure Dao Body', 'Flawless Dao Body', 'Five Elements Dao Body', 'Xuanyin Dao Body', etc., etc..."
"Therefore, the refinement of essence into qi is essentially a journey with two major realms: the 'Qi Refinement' and the 'Foundation Establishment'!"
Zhong Shenxiu spoke eloquently.
