Chapter 614 Acupoints
"Only by working together can we achieve mutual benefit and a win-win situation!"
"I can not only give you the power I've stored, but I can also help you research the power of bloodlines. All you need to do is help me with one thing, how about it?"
Chen Yang could only reach a cooperation with the bronze tree in the end.
When Chen Yang asked what the bronze tree wanted, it only said two words: "A body."
At first, Chen Yang thought the bronze tree wanted to attach itself to a martial artist. Later, after careful discussion, he realized that the bronze tree wanted to shape a body for itself.
"My true form cannot cultivate. I want to be like humans and become a martial artist who can cultivate."
Hearing the bronze tree's request, Chen Yang's brows furrowed.
The great tree he encountered in Fog Village before cultivated entirely on its own and could even produce spirit fruits.
But the bronze tree actually said it couldn't cultivate?
Chen Yang thought carefully, and it seemed to be true. The bronze tree was different from the great tree in Fog Village. The great tree could be called a tree spirit, but the bronze tree had only developed intelligence. Its body truly did not allow it to cultivate.
"Alright, but I've never done something like this before. We can take it step by step. If anything goes wrong..."
Even as the Medical Saint Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians, Chen Yang could not guarantee success, because shaping a physical body was unheard of.
In many ancient texts, Chen Yang had never encountered anything similar.
However, in Chen Yang's heart, there was still a sliver of hope.
Reshaping meridians!
The most important thing in reshaping a physical body was reshaping the meridians.
And Chen Yang's most important research currently was reshaping meridians!
"Don't worry, every drop of energy within me can be considered an independent entity. Failure once would only be a waste of a little energy."
The bronze tree's reply almost made Chen Yang burst into laughter. Chen Yang had been wondering how to conduct experiments in this area, and now the material had come to him.
It was truly a perfect material that couldn't be driven away!
"If that's the case, then let's not delay!" Chen Yang couldn't wait.
After conversing with the bronze tree, Chen Yang decided to directly attempt reshaping the meridians in a corner of the bronze tree.
No matter what kind of material was used to replace the bronze tree's body, it wouldn't be as good as its bronze form.
For this reason, the bronze tree specifically cleared out a space on its body that could accommodate Chen Yang's internal energy.
"Are you sure this method will work? You just said you haven't touched this kind of thing before!"
For some reason, the bronze tree felt something was not quite right.
The enthusiasm Chen Yang displayed was perhaps too strong.
Chen Yang chuckled, "I must say, you've really found the right person. In this world, I don't think anyone else besides me can master this kind of meridian reshaping technique."
"However, this method can only use the flame-like internal energy within me. You'll have to bear with it."
If the bronze tree had a face, it would have turned pale at these words.
The trembling branches also indicated the bronze tree's current mood.
Before it could even make a sound, Chen Yang's internal energy had already entered the bronze tree's body.
This wasn't the first time Chen Yang had entered the bronze tree's body. The previous times, he had encountered chaotic forces.
But now, in front of Chen Yang was a vast expanse of calm.
In the empty space, all Chen Yang could sense was a sense of chaos.
Chen Yang wanted to use his flame-like internal energy to condense meridians bit by bit, but his flame-like internal energy had previously entered the meridians and then extended outwards. Reshaping meridians completely was something Chen Yang had never done.
Chen Yang simply let his flame-like internal energy enter his own meridians and then extend outwards, connecting from the link point with the bronze tree's skin and entering the bronze tree's meridians.
However, the moment Chen Yang's internal meridians extended outwards, he felt excruciating pain. Countless ordinary internal energies within the meridians seemed to have found an outlet and wanted to tear through the barrier of his flame-like internal energy.
Chen Yang directly fainted from the pain.
This was the most painful sensation Chen Yang had experienced since he began cultivating.
Even when his meridians were injured before, and he had forcibly circulated his cultivation technique, he had never felt such pain.
Watching Chen Yang collapse on the ground, the bronze tree's branches swayed, unsure if it was rejoicing that the flame-like internal energy hadn't entered its body or worrying about Chen Yang.
About ten minutes later, Chen Yang slowly got up from the ground, rubbing his head, and muttered, "It seems I thought this matter was too simple!"
However, Chen Yang did not give up. Just because one method didn't work didn't mean all others wouldn't.
"Don't worry, my title as Medical Saint Heavenly Venerable wasn't earned for nothing."
As Chen Yang spoke, his aura changed.
Since his own meridians couldn't extend outwards, a new meridian had to be completely reshaped.
Starting from the basics!
Chen Yang sat in front of the bronze tree and began to circulate his cultivation technique.
After completing a small circulation, Chen Yang opened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, "I forgot the most important thing just now. No wonder I couldn't succeed!"
The bronze tree observed Chen Yang nervously. Just circulating his cultivation technique had yielded some results?
"What did you forget?"
Chen Yang brushed the dust off his body and pointed to several spots, smiling, "Meridians can circulate internal energy and are so important within the body because they form pathways, like rules.
"And where does this internal energy come from? From acupoints!"
"A person has over seven hundred acupoints, and each acupoint has its own purpose. The process of cultivating techniques is the same.
"A technique needs to travel from one acupoint to another, forming a circulation.
"The difference between a small and a large circulation lies here!"
"To reshape a body, we must start from these acupoints!"
After finalizing the shaping process, Chen Yang began to discuss with the bronze tree, or rather, talked to himself, about substitutes for acupoints.
Because he presided over the Hall of Heavenly Physicians, Chen Yang's knowledge of such items was at the pinnacle of the world.
"Ordinary medicines cannot have such an effect. You can absorb the medicinal power of heavenly treasures, but using them as a support point for acupoints is impossible."
"What kind of material is needed?"
Countless medicinal herbs flashed through Chen Yang's mind, only to be deleted by him each time.
Just then, Chen Yang's gaze suddenly fell upon the bronze tree.
"Bronze tree... Bronze tree."
Chen Yang's brow furrowed, "That's one way!"
Seeing Chen Yang in this state, the bronze tree's mind couldn't keep up. It didn't understand why Chen Yang kept repeating its name.
