Legend of the Mythological Genes

Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique!

Frank and Aike glanced at each other, feeling extremely shocked.

They didn’t expect that Feng Lin was able to have results with just him researching the ancient divine medicine for the first time. How could this be possible?

But when they saw the powdered crystals in Feng Lin’s hands, the truth was before their eyes. They had to believe it even if they didn’t want to.

“This Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique, is it really so wondrous as you have said?” Frank asked in a solemn tone.

“I don’t dare to be sure too.” Feng Lin didn’t guarantee anything. If he appeared too overconfident, the other parties would definitely be suspicious.

“Through my mental perception, I probe the ancient divine medicine and discovered that it’s formed from countless tiny crystals linked very tightly together. I believed that this unique structure was the key to locking in the medicinal potency. It’s precisely because of this that I wish to use the Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique to see if I can try to replicate a similar effect!” Feng Lin hesitated a little before he spoke.

He appeared honest. His words were half truth and half lies; he mixed in concepts and changed the crystal lifeforms he had seen to tiny crystals. He also didn’t reveal that this was a magic pill and continued calling the paste-like substance as ancient divine medicine. Both Aike and Frank would be unable to discover any loopholes in his words.

Feng Lin had already obtained the alchemy inheritance from this ancient divine medicine, and it was impossible for others to receive it. Wouldn’t he be able to say anything he wanted in this case?

Frank and Aike exchanged a mutual glance, but they no longer suspected anything.

Compared to the trepidation in Aike’s heart, Frank had a face filled with joy. He felt that Feng Lin’s words sounded very logical. “This is indeed a new path of thinking!”

After all, this was a divine medicine that came from ancient times, containing a mythological mystery that remained unsolved for millions of years. There had been so many geneticists and genetic researchers working on it but they couldn’t find anything.

Feng Lin was just a newbie yet he managed to achieve such a great accomplishment the first time he came in contact with the ancient divine medicine. This was already enough to surprise them. It was just that they didn’t know how great the surprise was.

Imagine if they knew that Feng Lin had already received an even greater breakthrough and benefits, obtaining the entire inheritance of alchemy pill concoction techniques, what would their emotions be?

Hehe…

Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t tell them about this.

“This is a new path of thinking which we have never researched about before. Are these the medicinal substances you managed to refine?” Frank stared at the powdered crystals in Feng Lin’s hands as he spoke in a low voice.

“That’s right. These powdered crystals are formed when I used the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique to refine an Adrenaline Potion. I just don’t know how the effect would be.” Feng Lin calmly replied.

Manager Frank took the powdered crystals from Feng Lin as he observed them closely. His eyes were extremely deep and after a moment, he decisively spoke, “Let’s test them out!”

As to how to test, the answer was simple!

They already had living human bodies as test subjects, and they might as well use them.

Frank brought the two of them out from the sealed laboratory and came to a human test subject who had already lost his consciousness.

“Inject these into him.” Frank coldly commanded.

A researcher nodded and injected the powdered crystals through a tube into the body of the human test subject.

Feng Lin endured the uncomfortable feeling in his heart. His expression revealed nothing as he seriously observed what would happen.

However, when the powdered crystals entered the test subject’s body, that test subject didn’t move at all and continued lying there. There wasn’t any reaction from him, and the measuring instruments on the glass cabin also didn’t register any anomaly.

Frank and Aike both immediately felt that something was strange.

If it was effective, wouldn’t this test subject immediately have a reaction?

But if it was ineffective, given the medicinal potency of genetic potions, this person would have exploded long ago. He wouldn’t have remained unharmed.

Despite their experiences, they couldn’t give judgment with regards to the powdered crystal medicine as to whether it was effective or not.

Di, di, di!

After five minutes, the curve on the heartbeat detector from the glass cabin suddenly started to rise rapidly.

“Manager, look!” Aike noticed it and called out.

Clearly, this was a sign that the test subject’s vitality stat was rapidly surging up.

The test subject in the glass cabin suddenly had a reaction. His eyes opened and his gaze was like lightning. All the muscles in his body squirmed as the measuring number that indicated his vitality stat started to climb up. Very swiftly, the test subject, who was only an ordinary human with a 0.1 vitality stat, managed to reach 1.0. His vitality stat continued to rise, only stopping after it reached 3.0.

The eyelids of Frank and Aike were twitching. This was clearly a sign that this test subject had awakened a mythological gene, and his vitality was strengthening because of it.

Could it be that this little lab rat (test subject) had awakened the Adrenaline Gene?

That powdered crystal medicinal substance was really effective!

The powdered crystal didn’t have any effect before this because the medicinal potency was locked in. And now, it was slowly seeping out.

And at this moment, the face of the test subject was filled with agony. He summoned the entirety of his strength; his muscular arms were like pillars as he swung them forth, breaking the glass cabin in an instant with immense strength.

This glass cabin had a toughness that wasn’t any inferior to alloys, but it was actually shattered into pieces with a single punch.

The shattered glass shards scattered around like petals, shooting forth in all directions from the impact. The shards acted like bullets and shot through those researchers who were rushing over.

“No good, the human test subject is going crazy!”

“Quickly catch hold of him, do not let him escape!”

“What medicinal substance was that?”

….

In the R&D department, chaos was everywhere. The researchers were fleeing in all directions.

Feng Lin instinctively wanted to act, but he hurriedly curbed that impulse and pretended to be frightened as he retreated.

Chi! Chi! Chi!….

Fiery rays of light shot over. Aike’s reaction was extremely fast as he already took out a ray gun and was firing at the test subject.

That test subject’s figure flashed, and at the last moment, he actually managed to dodge the rays. It felt like time had slowed down before him. He was even able to evade the attacks from a ray gun.

“Bullet time! He must have awakened the Adrenaline Gene!” The researchers in the R&D department were all genetic experts, how could they be unable to tell that this test subject had awakened the Adrenaline Gene and gained the ability of bullet time?

Chi, chi, chi!

Aike’s expression turned malevolent as he continuously fired with the ray gun. The test subject entered the state of bullet time and dodged every single attack. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Frank; they were filled with malice and hatred.

He could recognize the leader of these people who harmed him and his comrades. It was as though he had gone mad as he spared nothing to rush over.

“Manager, be careful!” Aike shouted.

Frank stood at his original location, not moving at all. His hands suddenly made a gesture as he pressed them in a downward motion.

BOOM!

An explosion suddenly rang out in the air as a formless pressure as heavy as a mountain directly bore down on everyone.

The people of the R&D department wasn’t prepared at all and suffered collateral damage. They were all pressed down on the floor. Their four limbs stuck to the ground, unable to move at all.

Feng Lin straightened his back. He initially wanted to gather strength and resist it, but when he saw his surroundings, he instantly decided to give up resisting and allowed the pressure to press him to the ground.

It wasn’t that he was unable to resist this pressure, but he chose to be low-profile instead.

Feng Lin didn’t want his identity as an interstellar cultivator to be exposed to these people. It would be equivalent to his strongest trump card being revealed.

The human test subject was initially extremely fierce but right now, he was completely suppressed and couldn’t move at all. He was now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Feng Lin’s heart sank. He didn’t expect that Manager Frank, who seemed like nothing more than a scientist, was actually a hidden cultivator.

That formless pressure caused everyone to feel as though their weights had multiplied by a factor of three to four times!

This is gravity!

Could it be that he had awakened the Gravity Gene?

Feng Lin silently speculated as his mind churned quickly.

If in the future, when he encountered an enemy using the power of this Gravity Gene on him, how should he defend against it?

Right now, Manager Frank stood there unmoving, yet he easily subdued the human test subject, causing looks of fear and respect to appear on the faces of everyone in the surroundings.

“Capture him. He is a valuable specimen!” Frank commanded coldly. After that, he continued, “After ingesting the powdered crystals, from an ordinary test subject till now, no harm came to him at all. Not only that, but he has even awakened the Adrenaline Gene; thus, we must study and record all his data! This might be the key to how we can unlock the secrets of the ancient divine medicine.”

Upon seeing the test subject being subdued, those researchers who were fleeing earlier all had malicious smiles on their faces. They looked like a pack of wolves and tigers eyeing their prey.

The test subject turned his bloodshot eyes over and stared ruthlessly at Frank. His face was filled with reluctance and rage. But all of a sudden, the emotions on his face changed to panic and fear. He opened his mouth wide and was clearly drawing in a breath. His body then inflated like a balloon as he kept convulsing, reaching his limit. All of a sudden, he exploded in an instant, becoming a rain of blood and flesh that covered the surroundings.

Those researchers couldn’t evade in time and screamed miserably when they were drenched completely with blood and flesh of the test subject.

It failed!

When Aike who was at the side saw this scene, the weight on his heart actually eased as he drew a deep breath of comfort.

This Feng Lin managed to discover the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique by researching the ancient divine medicine and achieved a huge breakthrough. It actually caused him to feel great pressure.

If Feng Lin continued to develop, wouldn’t he become Feng Lin’s subordinate someday?

No matter how much goodwill he felt toward Feng Lin, in the face of competing for benefits, all of his goodwill had already vanished.

His gaze toward Feng Lin gradually turned cold and emotionless. This scene of failure was something he was very willing to see.

Since the body of the test subject had exploded, it was clear that he could not endure the medicinal potency. This meant that although the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique was of little use, failure was still failure. This brat wasn’t able to threaten his position.

However, the next words spoken by Frank caused his expression to turn ashen as his heart sank again.

It was true that the powdered crystals had failed. But from it, Frank saw a very high possibility that it would be successful in the future. Frank instantly made a decision. He turned and looked at Feng Lin as he solemnly announced.

“Feng Lin, I will appoint you as the leader of a new research taskforce. Your mission is to specially perfect this Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique!”
