The inheritance of genetic potions came from the western regions of Ancient Earth Era. It was a combination of science and technology, and it belonged to a completely different system from alchemy.
The knowledge of different trades was truly worlds apart!
Genetic potions were a kind of scientific allocation method, using a variety of instruments and equipment to ensure that the different medical ingredients were able to blend together, causing spirit particles to play a role and generate unimaginable effects.
However, alchemy was different.
Ancient China always spoke about human and heavens as one. All living things had sentience, including grass and wood. They were all products of nature.
Alchemy was a kind of creation technique that evolved from medicine refinement technique, allowing the user to create life.
Pills were circular in shape, and it meant the unity of all things, symbolizing the universe with its infinite mysteriousness.
Each and every matured pill was considered a life.
And if one wanted to create magic pills, other than being proficient in alchemy, they had to use a pill concoction furnace as well.
Pill concoction furnaces had three ‘legs’, two ‘ears’, and eight holes. The two ‘ears’ represented the sun and the moon. The three ‘legs’ represented Heaven, Earth, and Human. As for the eight holes, they represented the eight directions of the eight trigrams. Pill concoction furnaces were inseparable with special alchemy techniques. The pills created could seize the luck of heavens and earth, becoming a magic pill that was ‘alive’, achieving divine effects.
But even in the Ancient Cultivation Era on earth, pill concoction furnaces were considered rare treasures. Also, it was already the Interstellar Era now, great changes had occurred through the passage of so many years. Where would he be able to find a suitable pill concoction furnace for himself?
So, without the support of a pill concoction furnace, it was useless no matter how proficient Feng Lin was in alchemy. It would be like a dragon slaying art (a metaphor), completely useless in this era since there were no dragons to slay.
Feng Lin could only feel pity. He tried to simplify alchemy techniques, fusing his knowledge of alchemy and genetic potions together as he improved on his Crystallization Medicine Creation Art.
Before this, during his initial attempts, he enjoyed a small success. This meant that this path had great prospects for the future.
Using alchemy to refine genetic potions was like using a dragon slaying art to kill a snake, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. But at the very least, he should be successful in every endeavor.
Feng Lin didn’t mind being extravagant.
If he could really perfect the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, he might be able to establish a method to create genetic potions that belonged to him alone. In the future when he walked on the path of geneticists, his future would be boundless.
Feng Lin started to experiment while the other researchers also did research on the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique.
Although these people were considered geniuses in the domain of genetic potions, Feng Lin wasn’t worried at all.
Even he, as the creator of the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, didn’t manage to perfect it. How would these people be able to?
If they truly had the capabilities, they would have long since deciphered the secrets of the ancient divine medicine.
Why did they need to follow behind him, doing research on the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique that he created?
Clearly, they didn’t have the capabilities!
With him knowing the knowledge of alchemy, Feng Lin believed that the date where he would perfect the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique wouldn’t be too far away.
The truth was precisely like this.
When he thought back to his experience with the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, Feng Lin did a step-by-step deduction, slowly fusing the principles of alchemy into it. He already had an initial idea on how to do it, what was left is just for him to gain experience as he continued to experiment.
But when he looked at these egg-human researchers, Feng Lin concealed his actions, curbing his impulse.
If he really took out the matured Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, wouldn’t he become the same as these researchers, an inferior egg-humans?
Feng Lin felt that the stakes were too high. He wanted to silently leave here if possible.
Right now, he had already obtained the godly alchemy techniques of the ancient divine medicine. As long as he digested the knowledge, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to become a geneticist. In fact, it was more than enough for him to become a geneticist. Feng Lin’s goal of joining the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had already been perfectly accomplished. There was no need for him to continue staying in this place filled with so many deadly secrets and risk his life.
But now, he had entered the true core department of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. It wasn’t going to be so easy if he wished to leave. Feng Lin decided to stay here for now and await for an opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, five to six days had already passed. This underground laboratory was originally already a secret department. And since Feng Lin became the new leader, his benefits now was naturally completely different from before.
The place which Feng Lin was staying at now could be considered extremely luxurious. It had the most advanced cultivation room and all sorts of high-tech equipment and instruments.
Feng Lin also managed to accurately measure his data. His punch force was 7.8 tons, his speed was 1.98 seconds per hundred meters, and he had respectively broken through 7.0 tons for punch force and 2.0 seconds for running a hundred meters.
Also, the cultivation resources the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had provided him every day was different as well. They gave him perfect-grade high-level potions of life.
Feng Lin immediately felt the difference the moment he drank them. Using the transformation of energy into qi technique, his genetic potential climbed rapidly.
Sadly, right now he had already entered the true core department of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, and all his movements would undoubtedly be virtually monitored. He no longer had a chance to head outside to absorb the energy of the stars to awaken his Spirit Gene.
Feng Lin used all his efforts to temper his body. Very swiftly, his genetic potential returned to 701% and his vitality stats reached 23.2.
Before this, he had already added 300% worth of genetic potential to the Stone Monkey Gene. Now, Feng Lin unhesitatingly added 700% more to it. His genetic potential then became a pathetic 1%.
However, what was different now was that his Stone Monkey Gene which initially only had a strengthening tally of 1 had become 2.
Feng Lin instantly felt something was different. His body was strengthened and currents of warmth emerged from the depths of his bone marrow, causing him to feel as though he was soaking in a hot spring as every part of his body was enhanced. He felt like his body was now made up of reinforced steel bars. Although he looked slender on the outside, he was filled with explosive energy.
His qi and blood were boiling hot like lava, churning wildly.
Feng Lin used his mental energy to survey his body, allowing him some sort of ‘inner-vision’. He discovered that all his tendons and muscle fibers were incredibly tough and unyielding like steel wire.
His bones gleamed with a jade-like color, with detailed metallic veined patterns all over them.
A stone body with steel bones. This was a true stone body with steel bones.
His skin was as tough as jade and stones. As he flicked his finger forth, vibration could be heard in the air. He was also invulnerable to sword and spear attacks.
What was even rarer was Feng Lin had discovered that every cell in his body had no cracks. There were no flaws at all. His entire body was like a perfectly enclosed container; no energy attacks would be able to seep into it.
Stone Monkey Gene: Stone body and steel bones, boundless strength, invulnerable to sword and spear, impervious to fire and water.
As he strengthened it, these four abilities were naturally enhanced.
He estimated that if he continued to add points to strengthen it, these abilities would be maxed out, reaching their limits.
At this moment, Feng Lin’s vitality stats had already reached 32.4, breaking through the 30.0 marks.
As expected of a variation primeval gene, it was of an extremely high grade. With every point added, his vitality stat would increase by a factor of ten.
The increase in his vitality was now calculated by a unit of 1.0, no longer 0.1. And in a single breath, it actually increased by 9.2.
But sadly, it was tougher and tougher for him to gain genetic potential.
Just when he was pondering on what to do, an unexpected answer actually quickly came to him.
And that was to…take bribes!
Now that he became the leader of the underground laboratory, the medical ingredients and potions he needed werere all provided to him in abundance. There were no limits. Feng Lin could take as much of them as he wanted under the pretext of research and consume them himself. As long as he displayed a slight improvement to the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique from time to time, these egg-humans would all be extremely impressed and filled with awe for him. None of them would suspect a thing.
Feng Lin used those kinds of potions that would strengthen his lifeforce, allowing his genetic potential to soar up.
Another ten days passed and Feng Lin had accumulated sufficient genetic potential. He added one more free genetic point to strengthen his Stone Monkey Gene, allowing his abilities to be strengthened again. His vitality stat now reached 41.4; albeit, the increment was slightly lower now, only increasing by a total of 9.0.
After all, one’s body was bound to build resistance if one consumed potions for a long period of time. The effect would no longer be as good and if things continued, the potions might even lose their effects completely.
The short period of a week soon flew by. Feng Lin’s strength had increased by at least one time, but there were no changes to his exterior.
This was the terrifying point of strengthening genes. As long as he had enough genetic potential, he could grow stronger without limits. He had no bottlenecks.
Time flowed swiftly, day after day passed. Feng Lin silently concealed this. He would occasionally demonstrate some slight improvements to the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, showing those monitoring him that he was not idling, slowly causing them to grow numb from their observation.
At the same time, his cultivation base grew stronger and stronger. The genetic potential in his body had almost reached 1000%.
Now, he was silently waiting for an opportunity to leave the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.
And on this very day, when he was acting busy in the laboratory, his surroundings suddenly shook violently.
Feng Lin stared over at the source of the tremors in shock, only to see the core of Mars revolving rapidly as heat waves covered the area. There seemed to be some kind of terrifying thing jerking about within, seeming to want to break through the cage that held it.
Di, di, di!
The alarms in the underground laboratory instantly sounded out.
A bunch of soldiers from the Giant Pharmaceutical Company then followed a secret passageway leading them to Mars’s core. Their silhouettes soon disappeared. There was actually another secret space inside the core!
“What is that?” Feng Lin asked his assistant.
That japanese egg-human named Matsushita Onijin bowed to him. His face was filled with the look of a subordinate trying to flatter his boss as he explained to Feng Lin, “That place is the largest forbidden ground of our company, the Core Historical Site!”
