Chapter 170: Metamorphosis
When Liu Shengyuanhe walked out of the retreat room, it was a starry sky and a bright moon hanging high. It's been a really nice day.
It's now past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the family is still sleeping peacefully in the villa at the back, but Liu Shengyuan and now are not sleepy at all.
He didn't alarm anyone else, and walked alone to the lawn behind the manor.
Standing alone on the lawn in the dark night, looking up at the bright moon and the stars in the night sky, a feeling of being in a different world came to my heart.
Although it was only ten months of retreat, these ten months that did not see the light of day felt like a hundred years had passed in Yanagi Motowa's feelings!
This sense of time dislocation made him know that his spiritual cultivation was far from being perfect and flawless. In what I have seen before, as soon as the practitioner retreats and does not move, 'there is no nail in the mountain, and the cold does not know the year', this kind of spiritual cultivation realm, Liu Shengyuan and ask himself, he is still far behind.
If it weren't for his fiancΓ©e Sakura Kobayashi taking a long vacation, and for ten months, he would have come to bring him food every day, and he didn't know if he would have been able to persevere.
After all, man is still a social animal, and even if there is no physical problem, a long period of loneliness can destroy a person's will.
Therefore, although Liu Shengyuan and he haven't actually eaten a bite of food in the past ten months, he is still very grateful to his little fiancΓ©e. If it weren't for her, Yanagi Motojin didn't know if he would have been able to complete this experiment/practice.
It's New Year's Day, and the suburbs of Tokyo are already colder than the city, and the stars and moon in the sky on winter nights make this cold even more chilling.
Looking back at the small building behind it, there are a few lights shining, and dozens of meters in front of it is a dark tree wall, and you can't see the outside of the wall.
Although the retreat room has a well-ventilated system, the air in the enclosed room is completely changed every 48 hours. However, this artificially filtered air feels completely different from the fresh air outside, especially for Yanagi and such a super otaku who has been indoors for ten months straight.
Gently, slowly, Yanagi and begin to inhale. The cold, fresh air flowed into his body as he breathed deeply, from his lungs, from his skin, from every part of his body.
This is not ordinary breathing, at this moment, standing under the starry sky, Yanagi Shengyuan and his body and mind are open to the outside world at the same time, calling out to the entire sky and earth, to the starry sky and the bright moon, to the world and the universe, from the bottom of his heart - come, come, I'm ready!

From that day three years ago, after Liu Shengyuan and his apprentice to Chang Mingdaoren, Yanagi Yuanhe changed from the vague pursuit of immortality to the specific study of why human beings always die, and what is the human body mechanism of death and aging?
Only by understanding why human beings age and die can we talk about how to avoid aging and death, and can we talk about the pursuit of immortality. Otherwise, all the wishes for immortality will be nothing more than empty talk after all.
With the deepening of learning and understanding of the operating mechanism of the human body and human cells, Yanagi gradually had his own understanding and ideas about Changsheng.
Originally, Professor Liu Changming wanted to give him a research project in the future, hoping that he would further study how to overcome cancer and break the Hyfrick limit of human cells on the basis of several research results of Liu Changming.
The Hyfrick limit refers to the limit of the number of telomeres in human cells.
This limit was proposed by Leonard Hayflick in 1965 and refers to the fact that human cells can divide and reproduce a total of 52 times in a cell culture dish before entering the aging phase. Cellular telomeric DNA becomes shorter with each cell division, and the shortening of cellular telomeric DNA represents the lifespan of the cell's "life clock".
Through the research of scientists around the world, it has been found that not only humans, but all animal cells have their own Hyfrick limit, which directly affects the length of their lifespan.
This is because with each time the DNA replicates itself, the telomeric DNA gradually becomes shorter, resulting in an unstable chromosomal composition and eventually apoptosis. As a result, the telomerase enzyme of normal cells decreases the length of the transcribed RNA with the life of the cell, so the cell "dies normally".
Cancer cells can use Telomerase to synthesize telomeric DNA, and different cancer cells use other telomere lengthening mechanisms to avoid telomere shortening.
And this is also the reason why cancer cells can replicate and spread infinitely in the human body.
At the same time, this characteristic of cancer cells is also the reason why countless medical experts and biologists around the world are so interested in cancer.
You must know that overcoming the stubborn disease of cancer does not only represent the progress of medical technology, but also may also represent the beginning of human immortality. Immortality is not a wish of Liu Shengyuan and a person, there are more people who want to live forever, so these research institutes that study the mechanism of cancer can get a large amount of money every year.
However, in a short period of study, Yanagi Yuanhe's knowledge reserve is far from enough to carry out cutting-edge research on DNA - his innate cultivation is barely able to see the level of cells in internal vision, and to see the internal structure of cells, it is not even a matter of thinking, let alone carefully distinguishing DNA.
The people of Changmei Dao are looking forward to the day when Yanagi Shengyuan and the future will be able to see DNA through self-introspection and conduct research.
So, before he was able to carry out research on DNA, Yanagi retreated to the second best thing and launched a study of the human nutrient supply system, mainly the blood circulation system.
The human blood circulatory system is responsible for the body's nutrition and oxygen transport. In Yanagi's view, this is an important way for the human body to be pure!
Liu Shengyuan and once tried to Bigu, although it did have a little effect, but there must be a time limit for this Bigu, otherwise, even the land immortals would have to starve to death.
However, whether in Taoist metaphysical research or modern medical research, food is a very important part of human survival, and it is also an important reason for human illness and aging!
The so-called disease comes from the mouth, and not all food is nutritious, but also includes a lot of impurities, and even a trace of harmful parts to humans.
In most cases, the human body can dispose of these impurities and harmful substances, but there is always a little bit of accumulation, over time, the accumulation of various toxins, naturally harmful to the human body, the so-called 'people eat cereals, naturally have birth, old age, sickness and death' The reason is here.
So over the years, Yanagi has put his research project in the small project of blood filtration, because the nutrition of food is ultimately supplied to the whole body through the blood, and if the nutrients in the blood can be purified, all the nutrients supplied are effective nutrients, and the life must be prolonged, right?
With this in mind, the final research result of Yanagi Yuanhe is this nutrient solution and the accompanying filtration treatment mechanism.
Since blood is the carrier of nutrients, it also needs the dry hair of the digestive system? Isn't it the end of directly supplying nutrients to the blood vessels and directly supplying the body? Isn't it true that vegetative people also rely on glucose to hang their lives?
Thanks to Mr. Changming's connections in the scientific community, Liu Shengyuan and Cai found a senior brother who studied artificial uterus and in vitro fetal culture research, and a senior sister who studied cloned sheep and monkeys, and learned professional knowledge in this area.
The traditional Bigu is nothing more than drinking water and taking medicine to reduce food intake, so that the body can free up its hands to deal with impurities in the body.
But that was a method under no conditions in ancient times, at that time, even if there was money, the cultivators could only rely on starvation, let the human body self-regulate, at most research some pills to supplement the essential vitamins of the human body, without him, the technology could not be reached.
When Liu Shengyuanhe found that his research results actually worked very well in medical applications, he had a whim to apply this thing to the training of special personnel of the Red Banner Military (he was a member of the Red Flag Teaching Group)!
After several experiments, it really has a miraculous effect on the self-purification of the human body, among the fifteen experimenters, it is forbidden to eat and drink, after a week of pure nutrient solution hanging needle, through strict physical examination, fifteen people have no malnutrition, and the health status has been improved to varying degrees.
The success of the experiment made Yanagi Yuanhe finally make up his mind to apply this method to himself, you know, he is not the students under these teaching groups, the so-called King of Soldiers and the Master of Dark Energy can be compared.
If these soldier kings are just passively accepting modulation, then Liu Shengyuanhe can completely achieve the purpose of body purification through self-control in the body.
The small assembly line for processing nutrient solution in the laboratory looks inconspicuous, but it is actually a cutting-edge system, and if it weren't for his special status, it would be almost impossible to get this set of things from Chiqi.
Why did he have to go back to his manor house for retreat? It was because he was doing much more than that, and his other purpose was so shocking that it could not be exposed to the eyes of the world.
And today, ten months later, Yanagi Yuanhe finally completed his experiment, unprecedented, ten months of Bigu, let him confirm that he should have reached the realm of immaculate, pure and flawless in his inner vision.

There is a legend in Buddhism that when the practitioner's body is clean inside and outside, that is, the so-called glass body of Buddhism, and the incorruptible body of Vajra represent the two major achievements of Buddhism's inner and outer practice;
Daomen also has the legend of a pure body, and in the Romance of the Gods, Nezha's lotus incarnation is a disguised description of this legend.
Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. At the moment when the body reaches its purest, life can be transformed into another realm, no longer contaminated with red dust and dirt, and from now on, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and it is free.
The so-called cloud body wind body refers to this pure body, according to legend, the Taoist who cultivates a pure body can 'be like a white cloud always at ease, meaning like flowing water in the west and east', the body composed of wind and clouds can resist the wind, swim towards the North Sea and stay in the cangwu.
In other words, cultivating a pure body is a prerequisite for achieving innateness!
Back then, Liu Shengyuan and the first chance to feel the innate realm, it was because the body could not meet the requirements of the innate realm, so he had to fall into the realm and return to the ordinary.
Of course, later, through this wonderful feeling memory of entering the innate state, Yanagi Yuan also made a pseudo-congenital state.
And today, Yanagi Motokazu, who is in retreat for 10 months, is ready.
Today is the day when Yanagi and officially set foot in the innate day!
ββββββββββ
The wind is blowing -
A gentle breeze swirled around him, and on the lawn under his feet, every small grass bent slightly in the direction of Yanagi Motowa.
At Yanagi Yuanhe's feet, the grass that had been trampled down straightened up again, and he stood on the tip of the grass, his body seemed to have completely lost its weight.
In the inner vision, Yanagi Yuanhe's whole body was shining brightly, all the cells were shining like stars in the sky, and the internal organs seemed to have become slightly smaller, more condensed, faintly shining with a brilliance that was different from other parts.
The endless wind was sucked into the body by Yanagi Shenghe, circulating, compressing, and transforming in the body!
Every bright cell seems to be absorbing something from these winds, and it seems to be diverging something, and this kind of thing absorbed by each cell and what is diverged from it give people a different feeling, but the common point is that they cannot be observed, only a faint vague feeling.
With the change of cell throughput, a strange energy in the body is like a tide, rising out of nothing, gradually impregnating the wind and the will of Yanagi Yuanhe in these bodies, like a glue, bonding, mixing, and fusing these winds and Yanagi Yuanhe's will!
Yanagi and his will, which he thought were completely formless and immaterial, were impregnated and enriched by the wind that was constantly inhaled into his body, and he inflated, inflated, and re-inflated like a balloon being blown up.
Until even his own body can no longer contain these increasingly large wills, let it squeeze out of the body.
Freely!
At this moment, Yanagi Genkazu felt incomparably free, and the feeling of his will stepping out of his body was as if his soul had detached from his body, or as if a prisoner had stepped out of his prison.
This kind of metamorphosis will is not a congenital Yiqi, it is almost as light as the congenital Yiqi, or even lighter, in this perspective of the metamorphosis will, the world has another face.
The world is noisy!In the space, countless invisible fluctuations and force fields filled every space around him, and it seemed that Yanagi Motokazu had suddenly arrived at a vegetable market from a quiet manor, and countless noisy information made him completely at a loss.
Hug the yuan and keep one, not moved by external objects.
The changes in the body continued, and a steady stream of strange energy continued to fill Yanagi Yuanhe's will, making the will that had already swelled out of the body even more inflated and expanded.
In the end, the infinitely expanding will is finally like a husky going out for the first time, spreading and diluting towards infinity, and gradually fading!
It's not entirely true to say that the connection has been lost, and with the endless dilution of this metamorphic will, Yanagi Motokazu can faintly feel a deeper wonderful world.
Now, in Yanagi's eyes, the world is much more than just material things like red flowers, green leaves, bricks, and trees.
Infinite fluctuations of varying frequency and characteristics fill the heavens and the earth, some stable, some lively, some intermittent, more chaotic, and even many deeper, vaguely felt, but vaguely felt.
I want to see it clearly, but the harder Yanagi and the harder, these things are blurry. And when he stopped paying attention, he could feel the existence of these things more clearly.
It's like staring at it with the naked eye and blurring, and feeling it clearly with the corner of the eye, this kind of thing is so wonderful, and so looming, like a glimpse, you know it exists, but you can't grasp it.
Yanagi seemed to feel something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
There was no howling wind, no flying sand, no thunder and lightning. Yanagi and his whole body are enjoying this wonderful feeling. Through the wonderful overflow of will, every cell observes the world, every cell comes to life, and in addition to the supply of nutrients provided by its own body, the cells also absorb something indescribable from the outside world and slowly adapt to change.
Unconsciously, Yanagi Motokazu's life is undergoing a complete transformation.
