Within the Joseon period, primarily during the 16th to 18th centuries, Chinese Taoist inner alchemy flourished, as literati, monks, private scholars (sarim), and even women, studied and practiced Taoist meditation and inner alchemy (naedan/tanhak) and produced hagiographic and anecdotal accounts of their Taoist contemporaries and forebears. These accounts of Taoist hagiography in order to determine who these practitioners were, what their social and ideological status was, the circumstances and motivations that caused their taking up the path of inner alchemy, and how they and their biographers reconciled the practice of Taoist inner alchemy with the dominant Neo Confucian Zeitgeist of the day.
As Cha Cheon Soo & Choi Dong Yi bids them goodbye, Kim Heon’s student asked his teacher whether all will be well for Choi Dong Yi has he has foretold, it is a great relief for Choi Dong Yi.

Background history
It is noted & said that Choi Dong Yi was from a Jungin class. Although inferior to the aristocracy in social standing, the Jungin enjoyed far more privileges & influence than commoners. For example, the Jungin were not taxed nor subject to military conscription. Like the Yanban, they were allowed to live in the central part of the city, hence the name “middle people or class”. Also, the Jungin tended to marry within their own class as well as into the Yanban class. In addition, since they were eligible to enter the palace as Royal Court ladies or servants, it was possible for a Jungin girl, if her father had a clean reputation or good connections and she was able to catch the King’s attention or Queen Dowager’s good eye, to become a royal consort or even a Royal Noble Consort, the third highest ranking in the hierarchy of the inner court for the King’s woman, after the Queen Dowager and the Queen. An example is Royal Noble Consort Sook of the Choi Clan, mother of Yeongjo
