Chapter 24 Five Immortals

"Those who cultivate the Way of Celestial Immortals emphasize following the natural laws to stir up the Five Qi within their chests, condensing three flowers at their crown, until their efforts yield a body that endures through myriad calamities, and a Primordial Spirit that lasts forever, unperished even should heaven and earth cease to exist," Lu Yu explained.

"The Earthly Immortal Path emerged because it was extremely difficult to inspire the three flowers through the Five Qi, leading some great beings to forge a new path by merging their Five Qi with a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land instead of pursuing the Five Qi, bypassing the condensing of the three flowers at the crown, and aiming to exist as long as heaven and earth," he continued.
