"Permeating the body is golden light, the marrow of the bones is fragrant. With gold sinews and jade bones, one is pure creative energy. Refine the blood to make it flow white."

"When the spirit is projected too soon, before it is purged of mundane shadows, it is called the dark spirit. … it cannot break through the Celestial Pass, and therefore goes off on the side roads … through the … alleys, to the rivers and up the mountains.
