Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 100: Life-Refined Medicine

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

As long as something was alive, it would have a bio-magnetic field.

Bio-magnetic fields were the external manifestation of life.

The stronger the life, the greater the fluctuations produced by the bio-magnetic field would be and vice-versa.

These crystals had very weak life forces, resulting in their bio-magnetic fields also being extremely weak.

Feng Lin had only discovered this after he concentrated his mental energy and scanned the paste meticulously.

Each crystal is a life, could it be that this ancient divine medicine is some strange lifeform or some alien race?

Incredible.

Feng Lin had always been calm, but now, he was so shocked that he couldn’t say a single thing.

Life-refined medicine?

Amazing!

Although these crystals were extremely miniscule and couldn’t be seen by the human eye, they were clearly alive. Also, life creation was undoubtedly the power of the Creator in the legends.

Feng Lin’s astonishment was plain on his face, and he wasn’t able to mask it no matter how he tried to.

Behind the monitoring projection, Frank had a look of surprise when he noticed the strange look on Feng Lin’s face. He spoke in a low voice, “Did he discover something?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he discovered some aspect of the ancient divine medicine that he couldn’t understand? After all, this is a medicinal substance that is in a solid state. No matter who it is, they would definitely be surprised by this!” Aike replied.

Yet, Frank shook his head. “Things shouldn’t be so simple. Although this Feng Lin is young, his temperament is extremely seasoned. If he was just startled slightly, how would he lose his self-control? He must have definitely discovered something.”

“Oh?” Aike was startled. He was very clear that Frank, as the manager of the entire R&D department, had exceptional judgment. He wouldn’t be mistaken easily.

Could it be that this little fellow actually discovered something?

Aike stared at the figure of Feng Lin, and the look in his eyes changed from the earlier warmth back to a gloomy coldness.

As for Feng Lin now, he was very unsatisfied with his discovery.

He realized that it was because his mental energy was insufficient, and the amount of precision wasn’t high enough. This was why he had no way to see more of the hidden truths.

The Giant Pharmaceutical Company couldn’t be blamed for not realizing that mental energy had the effect of being able to probe this ancient divine medicine. The compositions of those crystals were truly too miniscule. If one’s mental energy wasn’t strong enough to a certain level, even the scans conducted by machinery would be clearer!

Also, Mental Gene was an extremely rare seen gene. Only a few people had awakened it and even for those who had awakened it, it wouldn’t be easy for them to strengthen the gene. Despite the size of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, it was also very difficult for them to find a genius in genetic studies that had also awakened the mental gene.

Hence, no one had discovered this until Feng Lin did.

But despite the strengthening tally of his Mental Gene being at 4 points, it was clearly still insufficient.

He stared at his genetic potential of 618% and made a decision. Initially, he wanted to store up enough genetic potential to exchange it for a free primeval genetic point to strengthen his Stone Monkey Gene. But now, there was a change in that plan.

If he wanted to pry the secrets of this ancient divine medicine, his mental energy had to be stronger and his perception also had to be more precise. In that case, strengthening his mental gene was the only option left.

Feng Lin no longer hesitated and decisively used 100% of his genetic potential to change for a free basic genetic point.

The strengthening tally of his mental gene silently jumped from 4 to 5, and his genetic potential decreased to 518%. By strengthening this basic Mental Gene one time, his vitality increased by 0.8 and reached 19.7.

But this wasn’t the main point. Feng Lin didn’t have time to pay attention to this. As his mental gene was strengthened, his mental energy grew in capacity once more.

The world before his vision changed again.

His mental perception seemed to have become a microscope multiple times stronger than the past. He was able to ‘zoom in’ more, causing the crystals to enlarge in his vision and becoming the size of a fist.

Upon a closer look, Feng Lin discovered that each crystal was actually divided into two layers. Its interior was a circular structure while its exterior was covered by a crystalline shell acting as a layer of skin or armor that protected the interior.

The crystals were squirming about unceasingly, resembling micro organisms.

They are truly alive!

His earlier conjecture was right. There was no doubt that these crystals were a type of lifeforms.

Why did he say so? Because, after careful observation, he discovered that the movements of the crystal lifeforms weren’t by random; there was responsiveness to them. The crystals of this ancient divine medicine were moving unceasingly, but they would never come in contact with each other and would intentionally evade the others. This type of weak yet extremely clear fluctuations from their bio-magnetic fields couldn’t be faked.

A strange thought suddenly arose in Feng Lin’s heart. The formless mental energy that he was radiating formed into the shape of a thorn as he gently pricked the crystalline outer-layer of one of the crystals.

Li!

However, the crystal lifeform suddenly moved, expanding in size. The corners of the crystal elongated upward, like a hedgehog bristling its quills.

The bio-magnetic field of the crystal lifeform suddenly changed, radiating a sense of rage. The fluctuations grew more and more violent, like the churning waves of an ocean.

Feng Lin was like someone who kicked a hornet’s nest. Upon sensing the anger of their brethren, the other crystals also started to move in tandem.

A moment later, a chaotic surge of intents shot over. At the start, Feng Lin didn’t mind it. However, the life of these crystals was from the same source, and their intents could actually fuse together to attack.

Instantly, Feng Lin felt as though a sharp sword had ruthlessly stabbed into his soul. It was incredibly painful.

“AH!” Feng Lin accidentally let out a scream, forgetting to control himself.

“What happened?” This strange scene shocked Frank and Aike. Their eyes stared unblinkingly at the situation inside the lab.

The moment he screamed, Feng Lin silently cursed at himself. Although he reacted quickly, everything was too late.

His earlier scream might have already been discovered by Frank and Aike. Most probably, he had to think of a good explanation to give them.

In any case, that wasn’t urgent yet. The more important thing now was to find out more clearly about the situation of the ancient divine medicine.

Since he had already exposed himself, Feng Lin actually decided not to hide his actions anymore. He directly closed his eyes.

“What is he doing?” Frank and Aike had a bewildered look on their faces.

When he thought of what had happened earlier, Feng Lin grew more and more excited. These crystals actually know how to counter attack? How interesting!

Since they have consciousnesses, would they have memories too?

Maybe I can try to hypnotize them and glean some information with regards to the ancient divine medicine from them.

Feng Lin suddenly had this idea. Although it sounded incredulous, it was not impossible.

After all, given how wondrous this ancient divine medicine was, ordinary methods would surely be useless. If he wanted to understand its characteristics, he had to think outside the box.

Feng Lin immediately acted the moment he decided to do so. He started by sensing the bio-magnetic fields of these crystals.

However, contrary to his expectations, it was exceedingly difficult.

Because these lifeforms were too miniscule and the fluctuations of their bio-magnetic field were simply too weak. Feng Lin found it hard to even perceive them accurately.

In order to heighten his perception, his mental energy must naturally be stronger.

He needed to continue strengthening his mental gene before it would be possible for him to do so.

Feng Lin no longer hesitated, His genetic potential dropped by another 100%, and the strengthening tally of the mental gene rose to 6. His vitality also reached 20.5, officially breaking past the 20.0 mark.

His already sharp perception grew even sharper. The shape of these crystals once again enlarged in his vision. They were originally the size of a fist before, but now they became the size of soccer balls. Their bio-magnetic fields also grew clearer to him.

But this was still not enough!

He had to continue adding points!

Feng Lin didn’t stop and continued what he was doing. The strengthening tally of his mental gene went from 6 to 7, and his vitality stats climbed to 21.3.

The bio-magnetic fields of these crystals grew clearer and clearer. He even sensed emotions from them, but they were very pure. There weren’t any complex emotions.

Feng Lin rejoiced as he could put his plan in motion. In truth, these crystal lifeforms were as weak as worms. Now that he knew their intents were not complex at all, maybe he would be able to easily hypnotize them.

But when he attempted it, he discovered that things weren’t as simple as he had imagined.

Although the emotions of these crystals were more simple and unsophisticated, their wills had been tempered by the passage of countless years and were incomparably resolute. If he wanted to hypnotize them, the consumption to his mental energy would far exceed his initial expectations.

After he had managed to hypnotize one of the tiny crystals, he found it difficult to continue.

His mental energy entered into the depths of the crystal he had hypnotized, forming a connection with the will produced by its life. After that, there actually was a faint flow of information into his mind, showing him some incomplete images and sounds.

However, these memories were not whole; they seemed to be shrouded in fog, and Feng Lin couldn’t see them clearly. This was clearly far from enough.

Since he had already added points to the mental gene, Feng Lin decided that he might as well go all-out. The strengthening tally of the mental gene reached 9, and his vitality climbed to 22.9.

After becoming an interstellar cultivator, his vitality would always surge explosively after he had strengthened a gene. Feng Lin was gradually growing numb to the fact.

Right now, Feng Lin only had 118% of genetic potential left, but he didn’t mind this.

His mental gene’s strengthening tally shot up, and it caused his mental energy capacity to increase greatly. At last, he finally managed to hypnotize all the crystal lifeforms. At the next instant, countless memories from these crystals began to stream into his mind, bringing him into an illusion-scape.

Right now, an ancient, mysterious scroll image appeared before Feng Lin.

A voice akin to the toiling of a giant golden bell that spanned across the river of time reverberated in his ears.

“Heaven and Earth as the furnace, Fate as the worker. Yin and Yang as the charcoal fire, the multitude of things in the world as ingredients...”
