Not all Qi Masters of the ancient times were Taoist priests, but a considerable amount of Taoist priests could be classified as Qi Masters. These Taoist Qi Masters and ordinary Qi Masters were grouped together into the same cultivation group. They could be compared to ascetics of Buddhism. They endured the hardships of an arduous journey, increasing their cultivation by their own efforts and not with external help, training in 'five elements of the body'[1] and not the 'golden pellet'[2]. From ancient times until now, numerous Qi Masters attached themselves to monarchs for the emperor's imperial qi. Every dynasty had a prime example and famous character. This was because the emperor's imperial qi was very important to them.
"Dreadful Radio is becoming harder and harder to understand. I suddenly reminisce the story worlds of the past. The story worlds these days generally feel baffling; even Qi Masters can appear."
