A magnificent traditional Chinese dragon intertwined with elements of esoteric and hermetic knowledge. The dragon's body is long, sinuous, and adorned with intricate scales in shimmering gold and emerald green, symbolizing balance and duality. Its claws hold an ancient alchemical symbol—one claw grasping the ouroboros (a serpent eating its tail) and the other clutching a glowing philosopher's stone. The dragon's eyes are wise and luminous, reflecting cosmic knowledge, with a radiant third eye glowing on its forehead. The background is filled with mystical sigils, celestial patterns, and alchemical diagrams etched into a swirling nebula of deep blues and purples. Encircling the dragon are elements representing the four classical elements: flames, a pool of water, a rocky peak, and swirling air currents. This digital illustration captures the mystique of ancient wisdom and the power of transformation, rendered in a rich, symbolic, and surreal art style
