Bi gu — the reported end of dependence on ordinary food.
Description
Bi gu — the reported end of dependence on ordinary food. Historically attested as a practice; never verified as a physiology.
This entry is a reconstruction. The Mo Pai sources do not publish a curriculum for level 31, so what appears above is drawn from classical Taoist internal alchemy and from the shape the Mo Pai literature implies for the "Purification of the Vessel" band. It is a map of the territory the tradition describes, written by this archive rather than taken from the lineage.
