I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 107 Living Talisman (45)

I am very curious about what the Huaijiang witch went through before her death.

But looking at Xi Luo who turned and disappeared without saying a word, Li Boyang ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

The story of the Huaijiang witch's life is a scar in Xiluo's heart.

This was something Li Boyang had known for a long time.

Unlike those who always like to dig for the truth and trace things back to their origins.

Li Boyang has always firmly believed that everyone has a side they are unwilling to reveal to outsiders.

Even the closest relationship doesn't mean the other person has to unconditionally tell you everything.

Unless it was deliberate deception, Li Boyang had no intention of forcing Xi Luo to confront the past she didn't want to face.

"Actually, sometimes it's more interesting to uncover the truth of history little by little..."

Silently putting away the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor in his hand, Li Boyang muttered something indistinctly.

Afterwards, Li Boyang used the bamboo strips piled up on one side of the main hall to make some boards before officially leaving the main hall.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

He was still in the same spot, still lying on that simple wooden bed.

"Is that raccoon dog the mountain god of this place?"

Seeing that only Li Boyang had returned, Xiao Yue, whose complexion had improved considerably, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a god so approachable to humans..."

"Furthermore, your relationship with her doesn't seem to be one of subordination. Can a person really be friends with God?"

After confirming that he was not in any immediate danger, Xiao Yue fully displayed his reckless and daring side.

At that moment, he had no idea that Xi Luo was likely hiding somewhere, eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Don't act so familiar, we don't know each other at all."

Li Boyang walked up to Xiao Yue on his own, compared it briefly with the splint in his hand, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Let me make this clear first, this is the first time I've ever set someone's bones, especially one with such a strange and unusual fracture."

"It might hurt a little afterward, but I think you can bear it!"

Although it was phrased as a question, the tone Li Boyang conveyed made Xiao Yue pause in surprise.

"Wait, what are you trying to do... Ah!"

Before the words were even finished, Xiao Yue's screams echoed throughout the backyard.

Because Li Boyang directly clamped the broken bones with splints, his actions were so quick and decisive that he didn't treat the other person as a living person at all.

When encountering misaligned bones, Li Boyang would forcefully pry them back into place.

This directly resulted in Xiao Yue's screams becoming even louder.

Hearing this, Xi Luo in the shadows and E Tu in the swamp couldn't help but silently mourn for him.

—He's definitely settling a personal score on his official duty!
The thought crossed everyone's minds at the same time, and then the screams grew louder and louder.

As Li Boyang himself said, this was the first time he had ever helped someone set or straighten bones.

If this were Earth, where Li Boyang lived in his previous life, Xiao Yue's current situation would basically be considered hopeless.

It was only because Li Boyang had mastered the vital energy that he dared to set and repair the bones of this guy with comminuted fractures all over his body.

As each bone was reconnected, a continuous stream of vital energy flowed from Li Boyang's palm into Xiao Yue's body.

During this process, Li Boyang could clearly perceive Xiao Yue's physical condition.

Indeed, he is different from ordinary people...

He slightly narrowed his eyes, and the third eye between his brows opened naturally.

After careful observation, Li Boyang discovered that Xiao Yue's body was not right in any way.

Organs have been repositioned, muscles have been adjusted, and even the skin and blood vessels have been modified...

At first, Li Boyang did not realize what Xiao Yue's abnormality meant.

But as he carefully put the other's bones back in place, Li Boyang was astonished to discover that the meridians within Xiao Yue's body were the real culprit behind all these abnormalities.

[This is... a proverb!?]

It completely lacks the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of a normal person.

After being twisted, the meridians of the Xiaoyue (魈钺) present a strange, interconnected state.

When vital energy flows through these abnormal meridians, it naturally forms a living talisman.

In order to make the body more compatible with this strange meridian structure, Xiao Yue's organs, muscles, skin and blood vessels were specifically modified.

Everything was for the formation of the "living talisman".

For this reason, they would not hesitate to distort Xiao Yue's status as a "human".

Using the human body as a symbol, meridians as incantations, and vital energy as the driving force...

Wait a minute, this guy's memories seem to have been tampered with? That extreme?

[Completely transformed, body and soul, into a 'living talisman'?]

This is a new thing, different from talismans and formations.

If he really had to find a suitable analogy, Li Boyang felt that Xiao Yue's current state was more similar to the hand gestures and techniques he had been studying.

Let's set aside outward expressions like gestures, postures, and walking steps.

In essence, the techniques Li Boyang researched were actually about allowing the vital energy within the body to flow through fixed meridians, thereby creating an effect similar to a mantra or incantation.

Because the threshold for this is too high, it is far more difficult to achieve than any talisman or array.

Therefore, even though Li Boyang has already researched the formation, he has not yet achieved any substantial results.

However, Xiao Yue's current situation gave Li Boyang a pleasant surprise.

Leaving aside the complex meridian system of the human body.

It simply and crudely turns the meridians into a fixed incantation or mantra for use.

Therefore, whenever the vital energy flows along this fixed mantra, it means that the mantra has been activated.

"Although it's just a shortcut, it is indeed a way of thinking about solving the problem."

Li Boyang would certainly not simply and crudely modify the human body structure and meridians in this way; that would be a desecration of the achievements of millions of years of human evolution.

For Li Boyang, the current state of Xiao Yue is probably not even worth mentioning.

At best, it can only be considered as providing a possible approach; its feasibility remains to be discussed.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Xiao Yue looked up blankly at Li Boyang, who was still muttering to himself.

"No, it's nothing..."

“I’m just saying that you’re in a much better place than I thought.”

After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked at Xiao Yue again, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, are you interested in becoming stronger?"

For some reason, when Xiao Yue looked at Li Boyang at this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he voluntarily accepted the witchcraft transformation.

"To become...stronger?"

Before Xiao Yue could react, Li Boyang immediately nodded decisively.

"Of course, although I don't know who performed the surgery and modifications on you..."

"But that guy is obviously only good at technical things, but his ideas are quite outdated."

"Since your bones are currently shattered, forcibly treating you in your original state would only affect the specific effects of the talisman..."

"If you are willing to accept my plan, you can not only completely heal your injuries, but also make up for your existing deficiencies and further improve your... indestructible body?"
