Legend of the Mythological Genes
Chapter 35: Genomic Notes

The amount of liquid in each bottle wasn’t much.

Hence, 41 bottles only amounted to a small bag.

Feng Lin successfully carried them on him without drawing any attention onto himself.

When he arrived home, it was already late at night.

Feng Lin’s parents had been busy for the entire day and had already gone to sleep with his younger brother and sister.

Feng Lin slowed down his movements, not alarming them as he quietly returned to his own dark room. Even after settling down a bit, he didn’t drink the potion of life immediately.

That was because he had yet to digest the Green God Type-3 nutrient medicine he took earlier.

If he were to take in too much nutrients at one go, it would be bad for his digestion.

Instead, he opened up the genetic researcher’s research notes and started reading it.

This was already the Interstellar Era, and the notes would definitely not be left in the outdated manner of handwritten notes. Instead, it was a recording that was stored in a microchip.

The microchip revealed a resplendent glow and a three-dimensional projection. A human figure wearing white robes was standing in a room that was similar to that of a chemistry laboratory. He was holding test tubes in his hands as if he was trying to concoct something.

The blood-red liquid released seething heat that felt like magma.

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out. No one knew what went wrong and the medicine suddenly exploded, causing the test tubes to be blasted into smithereens.

The man in white robes seemed to have expected this and dodged agilely, not receiving any harm.

However, he couldn’t conceal the disappointment on his face. He looked toward the camera and slowly said, “Today is A.C. Year 9982 (Astronomic Calendar), date: 17 March. The bubbling blood nutrient medicine’s concoction has failed again! I can no longer remember how many times I’ve failed at this. Was it 100 times? 300 times? 1,000 times? I’ve become a little numb. Regardless, I must continue on. Only by successfully concocting the bubbling blood nutrient medicine would I then be able to become a true geneticist. This is my dream. I can’t give up…”

The man started becoming busy as he gave the commentary. He kept concocting that red-colored medicine, then failing repeatedly. However, he was unwilling to give up.

The scenes kept on flashing by. They were all recordings of him researching genomics.

Feng Lin watched the recordings seriously and got a general gist of some situations concerning geneticists.

Geneticists dived deep into the research of genomic theories. They would use them as a foundation to create and develop genetic-related cultivation resources, which then could be split into many types of domains.

Some geneticists specialized in concocting medicine that supplemented cultivation, and they were known as genetic pharmacists. There were those who developed genetic-suits that integrated with human genetics to unleash their prowess. These people were known as genetic armorers…

Although they were all geneticists, the difference in their domains was huge.

The person was called “Ayros Lincoln”. He was a researcher in the area of genetic medicine, and his specialization was in concoction.

Medicine, treasures, genetic-suits, martial arts… All these cultivation resources were segregated into different tiers, namely the low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and supreme-tier.

Only those who could at least concoct low-tier medicine could be considered real geneticists. The bubbling blood nutrient medicine was one of them.

After taking this medicine, the user’s blood would boil and the medicinal effect would arouse the potential of one’s genetics instantly, unleashing a battle prowess that was over their usual by 50%.

The drawback was that the medicinal effect could only be sustained for one hour. Thereafter, it would make the person suffer a great loss in their vital energy and blood, entering a period of weakness for one whole month. It shouldn’t be used until the critical moment.

Despite so, the demand for the bubbling blood nutrient medicine amongst cultivators was still higher than the supply for it.

With a medicine like this, it would be as if a person had gained one more additional life in critical times. Who wouldn’t want it?

The potion of life that Feng Lin had bought was clearly a potion without any grade. It was just a byproduct when genetic pharmacists concocted a mid-tier medicine known as the God’s Blood.

At the sight of this, Feng Lin was increasingly certain in his thoughts of wanting to become a geneticist.

Just a byproduct alone would have such a high value. If he could create a real genetic medicine, its worth would be simply unimaginable.

There were a lot of contents in this set of notes, and the most valuable of them all were the three types of genetic medicine recorded on it—the bubbling blood nutrient medicine, the toughening potion, and the transformation potion.

It was a pity that the price of the required equipment and ingredients for these genetic medicines were all too expensive. They weren’t something that Feng Lin could afford.

Right now, Feng Lin was in a situation as if he had a treasure vault in possession but was unable to enter it. He could only feel extremely regretful.

He then took a closer look through the genomics notes and found a point that was extremely useful in it.

It was the key to consuming the potion of life.

Ordinary people were unable to take the potion of life as the potion would cause their bodies to explode. However, this wasn’t something absolute. If the potion was diluted, then ordinary people would be able to take them as well.

However, the potion of life mustn’t be diluted by water but by nutrient fluids.

Nutrient fluids were originally obtained through the simplified concoction technique for the potion of life. It was an integration between natural and perfection.

As long as the potion of life was diluted a whole lot with nutrient fluids, then ordinary people would be able to consume them.

However, the genetic liquid must at least be mid-grade nutrient fluids. Initial-grade nutrient fluids were too inferior in quality and had too much impurities. If the two were to combine, an unpredictable reaction would occur instead. There might even be side effects after consuming it, and one might bring harm to his/her own self instead.

“Hmmm?” Feng Lin suddenly recalled that he had not only taken over 100,000 star coins from Klot and the others, but he had also obtained 20 bottles of nutrient fluids as well. He could experiment with those.

He took out a bottle of mid-grade nutrient fluids, and a light fragrance was emitting from it as he opened the cap. There was a great smell of vegetables and fruits, inducing a strong appetite.

He then carefully brought out a bottle of potion of life. This potion was in an amber color and was in a half-solid state, just like that of jelly. It was very mysterious and sent out a great fragrance.

Just a slight whiff was enough for Feng Lin to feel that his eight main meridians had been cleared up; even both the inner and outer points of his meridians’ passageways seemed to be cleared as well.

He carefully dripped a drop of potion of life into the mid-grade nutrient fluid. The two of them integrated together in perfect harmonies like milk and water.

“It’s really effective!” Feng Lin was elated and drank it.

The moment the nutrient fluids entered his body, they turned into hot waves rushing through his entire body, releasing heat at every nook and cranny.

Each and every cell in his body was wriggling, crazily engulfing and absorbing the nutrients just like a dried-up desert that had encountered an extremely rare heavy downpour.

This feeling isn’t bad at all!

Feng Lin smacked his lips as if he could have more of it. Other than that, there was nothing different in particular.

Feng Lin shook his head. Although the effect of this nutrient fluid mix wasn’t bad, it didn’t have much effect on him.

After all, his vitality was already at 1.9. He had expended too much of his vitality earlier on and needed better nutritious things.

“Who’s that?” Suddenly, Feng Lin felt that something was amiss. Someone seemed to be spying on him, and his gaze pierced over like a sharp arrow.

“Ahh! Ahh!” Two consecutive sharp cries rang out as if frightened by Feng Lin. Two small figures, who were wearing pajamas, were given a shock and had fallen to the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Feng Lin looked carefully and realized that they were his younger brother Feng Cheng and his younger sister Feng Xin.

He relaxed his expression, revealing a warm smile. “Why have the two of you come?”

The two young ones, who had been scared by Feng Lin’s sharp gaze earlier, looked at him and mumbled, “We smelled something nice… and then… and then we woke up!”

Their faces were yellow from malnutrition. Right now, their eyes were fixed on the mid-grade nutrient fluid in Feng Lin’s hand as they gulped.

Did they wake up because of the nutrient fluid’s fragrance?

Feng Lin looked at them, smiled, and beckoned with his hand.

His younger siblings walked over carefully.

Feng Lin stuffed a bottle of mid-grade nutrient fluid into each of their hands. “Here!”

“These are for us?” The two kids could not believe this as they wore a strong craving expression. Although they really wanted to drink it, they still shook their heads and returned it to him reluctantly. They then said, “Elder Brother, aren’t you going to drink it? This is a mid-grade nutrient fluid. If you were to drink it, you might just attain a breakthrough and be able to go for the college exam!”

A warm feeling rose in Feng Lin’s heart as he stroked their yellowish hair that reminded him of the texture of grass. He smiled and said, “Elder Brother has already drunk it. So, you guys can drink it!”

“Really?” The two of them looked at Feng Lin doubtfully.

Seeing that Feng Lin had nodded, both Feng Cheng and Feng Xin were still kids after all and couldn’t resist the temptation. They grabbed onto the nutrient fluids and sipped slowly, wearing a blissful and satisfied smile.

They even licked off the residue on the corners of their lips as if they were like little beasts that had found a water supply after being parched in the desert for very long, feeling as if they would never have enough of it.

Feng Lin smiled.

Being a human in a second lifetime, he was given a brand new life and a new family…

Being able to eat and drink to one’s fill was the simplest form of happiness!

He swore to himself to protect this moment of bliss as long as he could.
