Chapter 1524: Reconstructing ridians (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
“The reconstruction of ridians is a very complicated process, involving the Blood Reincarnation of the Ancient Sages. I had to browse through many ancient manuals before I was able to a feasible thod,” Yang shi said.
“Blood Reincarnation?” Zhang Xuan asked.
Noting Zhang Xuan’s confusion at the term, Yang shi explained, “After making the breakthrough to Ancient Sage, one will be able to achieve Blood Reincarnation. In other words, as long as the cultivator retains a single droplet of their blood, there would be a way for them to co back to life.”
“This...” Zhang Xuan’s heart jolted in astonishnt.
Vicious had reached the level of Blood Reincarnation as well. Because of that, he had been able to co back to life despite having his body shredded into innurable pieces.
That being said, it was important to note that there was still a fundantal difference in the lifespan of humans and Otherworldly Demons. The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was blessed with inherent longevity, so an Ancient Sage human cultivator would not even co close to living as long as an Ancient Sage Otherworldly Demon. As such, even if traces of Ancient Sage human cultivators were found, it would be impossible to revive them anymore.
Nevertheless, if Ancient Sages were able to revive from re droplets of blood, surely reconstructing ridians would be a piece of cake for them!
“The ridians of my student over here, Zhao Ya, have collapsed completely. I wish to restore her ridians so that she can continue cultivating. Do you have any way that I can possibly do so?” Zhang Xuan asked.
“Her ridians have collapsed completely?” Astonished, Yang shi quickly turned his gaze upon the young lady. He did not think that the young lady with a healthy glow on her face would be afflicted with such a severe condition. A mont later, he nodded grimly and said, “Her ridians have indeed collapsed entirely. I fear that it’ll be extrely difficult for her to recover to her forr state.”
“Extrely difficult?” Zhang Xuan frowned.
“Indeed. The person whom I helped reconstruct his ridians had sustained so tears in his ridians as a result of old age, so all I had to do back then was connect them together. On the other hand, Zhao Ya’s ridians have collapsed entirely, leaving nary a trace at all. That ans that you will have to reconstruct her ridians from scratch, and I fear that she won’t be able to take the strain that will be placed on her during the reconstruction process given her current weakened state.” Yang shi shook his head. “If we use my thod on her, the chances of success will be exceedingly slim.”
“What’s the thod that you used to reconstruct ridians?” Zhang Xuan asked. “I want to see if I can co up with an alternative thod that will be feasible on her!”
While Yang Xuan felt that the chances of success were slim, the sa might not necessarily apply for Zhang Xuan. Possessing the Library of Heaven’s Path, he would be able to resolve any flaws in Yang Xuan’s ridian reconstruction technique and uncover the most feasible and correct thod to do so.
That should increase the chances of success considerably.
“The theory behind my ridian reconstruction technique is rather simple. I extracted the ridians from high-tier saint beasts and used a unique thod to connect them with the ridians of the patient’s body. As the ridians of most saint beasts are similar in terms of flexibility to those of humans, while it might not be as easy to use, it should still suffice!” Yang shi said.
“You used the ridians of high-tier saint beasts?” Zhang Xuan frowned.
In a sense, this was similar to the act of organ transplant from his previous life.
“Saint beasts also differ in their constitutions as well, so their ridians should be different from one another.” Zhang Xuan pondered for a mont before raising a doubt. “I don’t think that it would be viable to use the ridians from any saint beasts, right?”
Just like how it was possible for a body to reject a transplanted organ, the sa problem should apply to ridian transplants.
“Of course, the saint beasts selected should possess a similar constitution to the patient. Your student possesses the Pure Yin Body, but saint beasts of the pure yin attribute are nearly non-existent. That’s also the reason I said that it would extrely difficult or perhaps even impossible!” Yang shi shook his head.
“This...” Zhang Xuan fell silent.
It would be difficult to find even a human with Pure Yin Body, let alone a saint beast. This was indeed not a viable solution.
Hearing the conversation of the duo, Zhao Ya interjected for the very first ti with a smile. “Teacher, I’m fine with this. If I can’t recover from my condition, I have no qualms with living as an ordinary human for the rest of my life!”
She had seen how far her teacher had gone for her. If it still did not work out despite that, perhaps this was just the path that fate had chosen for her. There was no need to force the impossible.
“Rest assured. Since I have said that I’ll cure you, I will definitely pull it off!” Zhang Xuan said with a confident wave of his hand before turning his gaze back to Yang shi. “Other than this, are there any other feasible solutions?”
“This...” Yang shi paused for a mont before saying, “It’s indeed not too easy to find beasts of the pure yin attribute. Alternatively, it might be possible to replace her ridians using plants!”
“Plants?”
“That’s right. Plants are more adaptable to their surroundings, especially those of neutral attributes, thus making them suitable to be molded into ridians. Unfortunately, most plants have a cap to their strength, and that ans that the future accomplishnts of the cultivator will be limited as well,” Yang shi explained.
Even the formidable millennium old herbs could not co close to comparing with the vitality of saint beasts. While they could be used to reconstruct one’s ridians, that could only be considered a diocre solution, used only when there were no other alternatives available. This was because the limits of the plants would spell the limits of the cultivator, thus preventing the cultivator from reaching greater heights.
“You’re right. Unless the plant is extrely high-tier, it won’t work out well. However, it’s no easy feat to find such plants... Hmm?” Just as Zhang Xuan was in a state of loss, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he slapped his forehead in realization. “The vine of the Dongxu Gourd!”
The vine of the Dongxu Gourd was an artifact that could absorb even the violent energy of a lightning tribulation. On top of that, it harnessed the power of space, such that in terms of prowess, it would not pale in comparison to a Saint 8-dan cultivator. There was no doubt that it would serve as a much better ridian compared to a saint beast’s.
After all, not even saint beasts would dare devour lightning!
Hu!
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the vine imdiately appeared in his hand. He hurriedly brought it toward Yang shi and asked, “Junior, can you have a look to see if this will do?”
“This?” Yang shi quickly turned his gaze over, and it took only a few seconds for his face to warp with shock. “What is this plant?”
Astonishingly, he could not tell what it was even with his eye of discernnt.
“It’s the vine of a Dongxu Gourd!” Zhang Xuan explained.
“Dongxu Gourd?” Yang shi pondered for a mont before shaking his head. “No, that’s not right. I have seen a Dongxu Gourd before, and its vine isn’t like that. The one that you have should have been nourished by a spirit vein for at least several dozen millenniums, and on top of that, it seems to harness the power of space and lightning...”
“This...” Zhang Xuan blinked before explaining, “The anomaly might be due to this vine absorbing plenty of lightning energy!”
“No, that isn’t it. As powerful as the Dongxu Gourd is, it still flees as far as it can in the face of lightning. After all, that’s retribution from the heavens. It shouldn’t be possible for it to absorb any lightning energy!” Yang shi refuted Zhang Xuan’s words.
“Let’s just put that aside for the mont. Is this vine suitable for replacing my student’s ridians?” Zhang Xuan asked.
The Dongxu Gourd that he had was left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu. It had slipped right into his dantian shortly after its appearance, refusing to leave no matter what Zhang Xuan did. From such a perspective, there was indeed sothing rather bizarre about it. However, this was not the ti to look into it. At this point, Zhang Xuan was only interested in knowing if he could use the vine to reconstruct Zhao Ya’s ridians and cure her.
“Considering that it harnesses the power of space and lightning, it’s indeed the ideal artifact to use to replace one’s ridians.” Yang shi examined the vine closely, and his eyes lit up in agitation. “If Zhao Ya’s ridians are reconstructed using this vine, her cultivation will surely be brought to new heights. In the future, she might even be able to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage.”
The vine in front of him harnessed incredible energy and properties, such that even he had so trouble trying to discern it. If it was used to reconstruct Zhao Ya’s ridians, she would surely be able to drive her zhenqi much easier and more efficiently. Not only so, her zhenqi capacity would also be enhanced to an unbelievable level.
“That’s great...” Hearing that it was a viable option to use as Zhao Ya’s ridians, and it would benefit her cultivation as well, Zhang Xuan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
