Chapter 66: Gene Micro-manipulation

Genes were the origin of life. Through the incessant transmission of impulses from the body, Genes could use all sorts of nourishing substances to produce the essential factors of life, like organs and limbs. They had the ability to grasp the entirety of human’s body structure.

The reason why gene potions had all sorts of mysterious effects was due to them being the geneticists’ fruits of labor after researching the mythological genes. Their medicinal effects could modify the human body, penetrating deep to stimulate genes and modifying the essence of the body at the microscopic level.

The awakening of a new gene tended to require certain exterior conditions. With different gene attributes, the required conditions would be different as well. However, there tended to be two different ways. The first was to use unique genetic cultivation arts to temper internally, allowing the gene to awaken by itself. The other way was to use gene potions to stimulate from the outside. If taken on the long term, the gene would enter a dominant state from its recessive state and be awakened.

This was how it was for Feng Lin now.

The Adrenaline Potion entered deep into the human body, stimulating the Adrenaline Gene incessantly, causing it to show signs of gradually awakening. Then, it actively absorbed the genetic potential to strengthen itself.

On the gene attribute section, the brackets after the 0 strengthening tally indicator had 8% shown. This displayed the awakening progress. The moment it reached 100%, it would be one genetic point. When that happened, it would be the time for the Adrenaline Gene to be awakened.

This was the powerful ability to transform genetics into data—digitization. Every little change to a gene would be displayed by its relative data. Everything would be very clear, without missing out on anything at all.

That being said, the stimulation caused by gene potions and any changes to his genes would be detected by Feng Lin. With this, he would be able to analyze the characteristics of the gene potions.

By being able to detect any changes to the genes at the microscopic layer, he would be able to assess the flaws of the gene potion and start from there to make improvements.

It was a pity that in the earlier attempt, he had been too immersed in the amazing effects of the gene potion and hadn’t observed its characteristic in detail.

This time around, Feng Lin was familiar with the process and he continued experimenting, drawing out medicinal ingredients and then formulating a small bottle of Adrenaline Potion. Without a second thought, he drank it up.

The familiar scorching feeling once again entered his body as if there were flames burning his entire body, stimulating his nerves. His train of thoughts accelerated, and his vital energy and blood surged…

Feng Lin was once again experiencing the amazing feeling of his soul leaving his body. Any person’s minute movements or small changes around him could be clearly seen. It was as if everything in the world had become slower.

However, Feng Lin knew that it wasn’t that the world had slowed down, but that he had become faster.

This time around, he didn’t waste the time when the effects were taking place. Instead, he calmed down, discarded all distracting thoughts, and focused on sensing the changes.

That surge of heat energy kept on stimulating his adrenal gland, making it secrete adrenaline and stimulating the changes in his body. As a matter of fact, his consciousness became faster as well.

However, the effects didn’t just stop there. The medicinal effects penetrated deep into his body, invigorating his Adrenaline Gene, causing it to seethe.

The Adrenaline Gene that was a dim silver star on the genetic map kept on flickering, its glow becoming increasingly brighter. It seemed to be awakening soon.

However, just then, the dim light stopped flickering. The medicinal effect completely dissipated, losing any effects.

Everything felt very abrupt.

Feng Lin’s soul returned to his body. He ignored the fact that he was now drenched in sweat and felt very stunned. The effects of the Adrenaline Potion gave off a contradictory feeling as if it started off well but ended off badly.

His feeling wasn’t wrong.

Genetic potential -7%!

The medicinal effect only lasted for 9 seconds!

He discovered that his genetic potential only reduced by 7% which was 1% lesser than earlier.

The medicinal effect also lasted one second shorter.

Feng Lin thought to himself that this formula really did have a flaw. It was unable to fully stimulate the Adrenaline Gene, and its effects were limited. His body already developed an immunity to the potion after taking one sip.

If he wished to improve this formula, there were two ways he could go about it. The first way was to strengthen the medicinal effects while the second way was to increase the duration of its effects.

Feng Lin decided to work on its medicinal effects first.

What medicinal ingredient did that stimulation come from?

Feng Lin started to study the formula in depth, taking out every single ingredient and observing them carefully. In the end, his gaze was locked onto that dragonblood flower’s nectar.

The dragonblood flower was a rare plant that grew on planets’ core and entirely black in color. Its stem was very sturdy. It had a high level of heat resistance and was a natural conductor of heat. Moreover, it could absorb magma’s heat to sustain its growth. From the saplings, it took ten years to mature, ten years to flower, and then ten years to bear fruit.

In its mature state, its appearance looked like a small dragon, and when it flowered, the color of the flower was as red as blood. That was how it got its name from.

The dragonblood flower had a natural stimulating substance that could stimulate living creatures’ nerves, causing their breathing to become faster and accelerating their vital energy and blood. Therefore, it was a natural stimulant.

When this medicinal herb was first discovered, it had been used to pique sexual sensations.

Back then, a large number of traders had procured it, and there were all sorts of advertisement lines. However, the most popular one of them all was still. “Natural viagra in its original state, no side effects. Because you’re worth it!”

In the advertisement, a fat middle-aged uncle immediately had an erection after drinking the dragonblood flower’s nectar. It left a very strong impression.

Back then, this amazing natural viagra had attracted the interests of geneticists who then discovered its ability to stimulate the body. After some research, they came up with the Adrenaline Potion which could stimulate the genes in the human body at a deeper level.

It seemed that if he wished to increase the effects of the Adrenaline Potion, he could start from the dragonblood flower’s nectar.

Feng Lin put his thoughts into action immediately and started experimenting.

The original formula called for 30 milliliters of dragonblood flower’s nectar. Feng Lin gave it some thought and first attempted to increase the amount to 35 milliliters. After the gene potion was formulated successfully, its color was of a brighter red compared to before.

He drank it down in one gulp, and an even more scorching heat flowed into his body. Feng Lin once again experienced the feeling of having his nerves stimulated.

He unexpectedly discovered that this stimulating feeling was more intense than how it had been previously. Despite so, the feeling only lingered on the surface of his body, and it was hard for it to penetrate deep into his body and stimulate his genes.

When the medicinal effect disappeared, Feng Lin was puffing hard and was unable to summon any strength.

Genetic potential -4%

The medicinal effect lasted for six seconds.

Although the amount of dragonblood flower’s nectar had been increased, its effect had been reduced by a lot. Moreover, the duration of the medicinal effects was also reduced to six seconds.

This attempt to improve the formula had undoubtedly failed.

However, Feng Lin felt that his idea to increase the amount of dragonblood flower’s nectar wasn’t wrong. This meant that there was some other problem.

He recalled genetic pharmacists’ theories. Each gene potion was an entity. It wasn’t a case of individual medicinal ingredients taking effect but was an integration of all sorts of medicinal ingredients. They needed to complement each other to be able to produce amazing effects.

There was the differentiation of the main and supporting ingredients in gene potions.

The main ingredient had the crucial effect while the supporting ones supported the main ingredient to unleash its medicinal effects fully.

The dragonblood flower’s nectar was one of the main ingredients for the Adrenaline Potion, and its supporting ingredient was the waterjade powder.

That’s right!

He should add more waterjade powder to adjust the dragonblood flower’s stimulating effect. The losoto solution had the effect of diluting dragonblood flower’s nectar, and thus its amount should be reduced.

At the thought of this, Feng Lin immediately went ahead to make the changes. He increased the amount of waterjade powder from 15 grams to 20 grams and reduced the amount of losoto solution to 90 milliliters.

Feng Lin drank the potion, and the familiar scorching energy once again entered his body violently. This time around, although the level of stimulation to the gene had increased by a lot, it was too much. The stimulating feeling was too intense, and his entire body was aching as if he was pierced by needles.

If this was the case for Feng Lin, then ordinary people wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

Genetic potential -7%.

The medicinal effect lasted for 9.5 seconds.

Feng Lin looked at the duration of the medicinal effect. Although it increased a little, it was still insufficient.

The stimulant caused by the dragonblood flower’s nectar was too strong and needed to be suppressed. The losoto solution’s amount needed to be increased, as he had reduced it by too much earlier.

Moreover, he sensed that there were a few medicinal herbs that didn’t integrate well. He increased the amount of catalytic cream. This was a catalyst and could stimulate the integration of the medicinal effects.

Feng Lin came up with a new formula: Dragonblood flower 35 milliliters, waterjade powder 17 grams, losoto solution 95 milliliters, catalytic cream 12 grams… Everything else remained constant.

He once again started formulating the gene potion, coming up with a new version that was a faint red color. It was clear and emitted light, with a light fragrance.

This strange fragrance was clearly a sign that the medicinal effects had completely integrated.

Feng Lin had a feeling that the gene potion’s medicinal effect might be different this time around.

He drank it down in one go, and the scorching potion became very mild and gentle. The stimulating feeling was greatly reduced, but its effects weren’t lowered. Instead, there was now a feeling that it was like the spring’s breeze and drizzle, moisturizing the land.

His genes were like the bamboo shoots after a spring rain, obtaining great nourishment and wanting to sprout out from the ground.

Feng Lin immersed in that feeling and only got back to his senses after very long.

Genetic potential -9%, the duration of the medicinal effect lasted for 12 seconds.

Although more genetic potential was deducted, Feng Lin felt happy.

The increase in the duration of the medicinal effects represented that the formula had been successfully improved.

Even though Feng Lin had always been mature and calm, he could not help but feel proud.

He felt that he had discovered a new technique to improve gene potions. This was something that only he was capable of using.

This technique was called…

Gene Micro-manipulation!
