Let’s talk about this book.

In fact, this book represents a transformation for the author.

One can see the stark difference in style compared to the author's previous works.

The creation of this book is quite miraculous; originally, the author had not intended to write in this genre.

By chance, the author wrote a piece and found a fondness for this style, leading to a decisive transformation.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the editor, Shiguang, for their assistance.

When the author sent the first piece to the editor, it was the editor's single word of "Okay" that gave the author the confidence to write this book.

I also thank many friends for their support of this book.

Without you, there would be no today for this book.

Now, let’s briefly discuss some content issues in this book.

Many friends may have noticed that some elements in the content correspond to knowledge found in Inner Alchemy texts, though some are fictional.

For example, the notion of refining the five organs first in alchemy is completely absurd; it is impossible to succeed.

Similarly, the concept of controlling the heat has been greatly simplified and fictionalized.

In reality, controlling the heat is extremely difficult and hard to comprehend.

It is impossible to learn without a teacher.

There has always been a saying that medicine is not passed down with the fire; no one has truly recorded the secrets of heat control, as it is mostly taught through personal experience.

For instance, after passing the three trials, the Golden Core should descend from the heavy tower, and where is the essence of the kidney water…

Thus, much of this is the author's fiction, and I hope friends can have a simple understanding of it.

That’s all for now.

Tonight at twelve o'clock, let’s meet again.
