Chapter 550: Meridian Pulse Shock

###

#### Part I: Spirit Pivot Electronics

Deep within the pistil of the mechanical Udumbara, pale gold living circuits extended along the Ren and Du meridians, gestating a biological brain the size of a fist at the intersection of the twelve meridians. Ao Li's Reverse Scale Dagger hovered in mid-air, the neural network reflected on the blade being perfectly symmetrical with the Candle Dragon's Eye radar module that had been damaged three days ago.

"Chong meridian injects into Hand Shaoyang..." Lin Jin's quantized right hand inserted itself into the culture fluid, the antimatter particles leaping at his fingertips outlining the "Spirit Pivot" meridian map. He saw those neural synapses wrapped in nano-robots rewriting the laboratory's electromagnetic field according to the laws of the Five Phases and Six Qi, the airflow from the ventilation duct carrying holographic projections of acupuncture bronze figure models.

Ao Li's dragon horns suddenly stung, twelve meridian patterns cracking the cyan jade surface. When she tried to scorch the living circuits with dragon fire, the fire was actually diverted into the electronic acupoints of the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, condensing into the shape of bronze moxibustion cones on the surface of the mechanical Udumbara. Most terrifyingly, a Λ crystal condensed from black blood was suspended at the tip of each moxibustion cone.

"He is rebuilding the Heavenly Workshop's neural network!" Lin Jin's tactical goggles showed that the marrow sea region of the biological brain was resonating with the bronze giant tree on the far side of the moon. When his quantized left hand touched the Fengfu acupoint, memories from three hundred years ago flooded in—the young Heavenly Workshop Master was using dragon blood to draw a quantum cloud model of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," while the laboratory walls were covered in culture pods of Ouroboros embryos.

#### Part II: Noon-Midnight Flow

When the biological brain completed the quantum entanglement of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the laboratory suddenly plunged into a time-space cycle of noon-midnight flow. Ao Li's dragon pearl sensed that the electronic meridians of each double-hour were reorganizing the damaged modules of the Candle Dragon's Eye, the energy flow of the Sanjiao meridian at noon being identical to the radar fault waveform from three days ago.

"The acupuncture model of the Wei Ji hexagram..." Lin Jin tore open his rib skin, using quantized blood vessels to draw an antimatter stone needle map. When the pattern touched the Dai meridian of the mechanical Udumbara, the entire culture device suddenly became transparent—those seemingly disordered living circuits were actually encrypted code arranged according to the eighty-one difficulties of the "Classic of Difficulties," each line of code rewriting Ao Li's DNA helix structure.

Ao Li sprayed her innate dragon fire, but the fire was diverted at the electronic acupoints of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. She saw her own reflection splitting in the culture fluid, each mirror image practicing a different school of acupuncture. The most bizarre mirror image held a Nine-Star Xuan-Di needle, the entropy energy of the black blood sample condensed at the needle tip.

"Use the Five Shu Acupoints to break the game!" Lin Jin reorganized the Annihilation Revolver into the form of the Nine Needles of the Yellow Emperor, piercing into the Jing, Ying, Shu, Jing, and He acupoints of the biological brain. When the final needle sank into the Yongquan acupoint, the mechanical Udumbara suddenly bloomed with a holographic meridian map, each meridian connected to the quantum soul of a dragon clan observer—the Baihui acupoints of their heads were being pierced by the roots of the bronze giant tree.

#### Part III: Yin-Yang Inversion

The moment the culture fluid boiled, the electronic phantoms of the twenty-five Yin-Yang people broke through the walls. Ao Li recognized the gait of these phantoms; they were clearly the dragon clan physicians who had gone missing over the generations. When a certain phantom performed the "Burning Mountain Fire" acupuncture technique, the laboratory's cooling system suddenly overloaded, the liquid nitrogen sprayed out condensing into seal script from the lost chapters of the "Plain Questions" in the void.

Lin Jin's quantized body suddenly materialized, electronic acupoints identical to those of the biological brain emerging at his Ren and Du meridians. He grabbed Ao Li's dragon horns and pressed them toward the Mingmen acupoint, their memories suddenly undergoing meridian resonance—Ao Li saw the bronze-masked woman modifying the star gate device with thunder-fire divine needles, while Lin Jin glimpsed the First Generation Dragon Emperor implanting reverse scales into the foramen magnum of the Heavenly Workshop Master's skull.

"So the Heavenly Workshop was a dragon clan hospital..." Ao Li's reverse scales seeped black medicinal juice, and she discovered her meridians were being rewritten by forbidden techniques from the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon." When she tried to sever the biological brain's connection to the Chong meridian, the laboratory suddenly descended into a time rain of the "Spirit Turtle Eight Methods," each raindrop accelerating the quantum decay of the Candle Dragon's Eye.

The marrow sea region of the biological brain suddenly projected a phantom of the young Heavenly Workshop Master, the Nine Needles in his hand performing acupuncture on the bronze giant tree seedling. When the phantom pierced the Dazhui acupoint of the giant tree, the adult giant tree on the far side of the moon suddenly trembled, and three hundred Ouroboros coffins simultaneously seeped dragon saliva mixed with black blood.

#### Final Chapter: The End of Qi and Huang

When the noon-midnight flow cycle reached the seventh period, the electronic meridians of the biological brain suddenly inverted. Ao Li's Candle Dragon's Eye fragments showed that all damaged modules were reorganizing into a quantum cloud of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon." She burned her final reverse scales, using dragon bones to draw the ancient forbidden technique "Fuxi Sixty-Four Hexagram Needles," the golden needle phantoms piercing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridian intersection acupoints of the biological brain.

Lin Jin seized the opportunity to insert the star gate device into the marrow sea, antimatter energy flowing backward along the meridians. In the energy turbulence, they saw the ultimate truth: the black blood vaccine experiment the Heavenly Workshop Master participated in when young was actually a forbidden technique that fused the "Inner Canon" meridian system with Λ crystals. Those missing dragon clan physicians had all been transformed into living silver needles maintained by the bronze giant tree.

The mechanical Udumbara suddenly self-destructed, the petals shattering into three hundred and sixty stone needles. When the final stone needle embedded itself into the laboratory wall, the entire building suddenly transformed into a giant bronze figure model, each acupoint spraying moxibustion smoke condensed from black blood. Ao Li held the quantizing Lin Jin and leaped out of the window, the sigh of the Heavenly Workshop Master's phantom coming from behind: "Meridians are formed, where can the great medicine be found..."

In Mars's solar orbit, a certain space wreck suddenly cracked open, revealing living circuits arranged according to the twelve meridians inside. When the solar wind brushed past the electronic acupoints of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, a baby's cry came from deep within the wreck—the newborn biological brain was reorganizing black blood samples according to the laws of the Five Phases and Six Qi, its neural network projecting a future phantom of Ao Li holding the Nine Needles. ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
