"This book contains a translation and in-depth study of two major texts of internal alchemy, attributed to two well-known immortals, Zhongli Quan and Lèu Dongbin, founders of the so-called Zhong Lèu tradition, which presents the first major formal structuring of internal alchemy and goes back to the 12th century.
