Legend of the Mythological Genes
chapter-99

Unexpectedly.

The interior of the enclosed laboratory was very empty; a stark contrast to the overcrowded area outside.

The crystal ball in the middle caught Feng Lin’s attention.

The environment within the sphere was a completely sterile vacuum. Floating within, a paste-like substance could be seen. However, the paste did not have an aesthetic appearance. It was soft and dry like that of mud.

But Feng Lin could tell from one glance that it was the ancient divine medicine he had previously seen in the research recording.

“That is the ancient divine medicine! There is a scanning machine here that can scan drugs and display what the drug’s composition and structure are! You should handle it with care, don’t touch things unnecessarily! If you damage the ancient divine medicine, you won’t be able to afford it even if you sell your soul!” Though Aike did not enter the laboratory, he warned Feng Lin seriously.

As the research taskforce’s leader, Aike was no stranger to the ancient divine medicine. He had seen it quite a bit but had not garnered any results in his research. Seeing it anymore would not result in anything.

What would this brat achieve from here on?

Watching Feng Lin’s figure walking in, his expression was gloomy.

The metal wall closed naturally. In an instant, Feng Lin was the only person left inside the enclosed laboratory. It was extremely quiet, an environment that was suitable for experimentation.

Feng Lin acted accordingly as such an important laboratory would have surveillance set within. Maybe Manager Frank and team leader Aike were observing him from behind the scenes.

He observed diligently and began his research toward the ancient divine medicine.

It was just as he expected.

Inside the office, a holographic projection was monitoring his every move. Frank and Aike were watching as they started to discuss.

“Aike, do you think he can have some results?” Manager Frank said with a smile on his face.

“Impossible!” Aike shook his head as he spoke, “Though this kid has talent, the ancient divine medicine is the result of mythological techniques. Thus, it is not easy to break through and comprehend. There are so many official geneticists here and yet none of us have done it! The main reason is that there was a huge technical barrier. The ancient divine medicine is in a solid state, while potions are in liquid form. It may seem like only its state that has changed, but its innate essence is completely different!”

Though he had a good relationship with Feng Lin right now, he was less than optimistic about Feng Lin’s results. The reasons he provided were also very logical.

Manager Frank was not surprised either. “Although it is very unlikely that he would succeed, I still hope this kid can make a breakthrough! Since this ancient divine medicine was discovered from the mythological ruin, I specifically hired Feng Lin because of his knowledge with myths and legends. I wanted to utilize his knowledge to see if he could uncover the truth behind the ancient divine medicine. You should know that headquarters have been rushing us for an answer. They want to carry out the plan as soon as possible. Moreover, the rebel army of Mars has been more active lately. It seems they are up to something. The current situation is becoming more unstable.”

“I hope so!”

The voices of the two gradually calmed down.

Of course, Feng Lin naturally had no clue what was happening in the office. He was studying the ancient divine medicine carefully.

Only by seeing it himself could he realize how mysterious the ancient divine medicine was.

This ancient divine medicine was in a solid state. It was completely different from the normal gene potions.

Gene potion was in a liquid state because it allowed the medicinal effect to be absorbed quickly.

How does this solid drug work? How could it allow ordinary people to awaken mythological genes without their body exploding?

These were all questions that Feng Lin pondered within his heart.

He began to scan the ancient divine medicine with the instrument. A projected light was illuminated on the medicine, displaying the data.

“Carbon: 27.23%, Oxygen: 21.54%, Mercury: 18.25%, Copper: 10.2% … …”

Feng Lin observed the results of the scan. He realized that there were various elements shown on the display.

He was not satisfied with the scan results.

The galaxy was full of elements. What good would it be to know these?

The key was to know its synthetic form!

But something strange occurred. There were many strange shadows on the scanned image. Feng Lin could tell there were countless circular structures connected, but he could not see them clearly.

Feng Lin continued to use various instruments within the laboratory. The results turned out to be fruitless.

“He’s scanning the drug’s composition!”

“No much use! The ancient divine medicine has extraordinary characteristics. It contains too many spirit particles which could interfere with the scanning equipment!”

Frank and Aike observed Feng Lin’s movements closely as they commented.

At this time, Feng Lin had discovered one thing.

A clump of garbled characters appeared on the image of the instrument. It was the result of spirit particles’ irregular motion.

The spirit particles within the ancient divine medicine were off the charts, interfering with the rays used for scanning. The interference left a mess as dense static covered the entire image. It was difficult for people to see the truth clearly.

This did not just occur to him, Feng Lin discovered within the research recording that others before him had the same issue. They could only use primitive means to explore the effects of the drugs.

They had taken small samples of the ancient divine medicine and force-fed it on the experiment subjects. Through observations of their reactions, the researchers then hypothesized the effects of the ancient divine medicine.

The efficiency of this method was too low.

Feng Lin knew that he needed to be the first one to arrive at the right answer; thus, he could not use this method. To explore one step at a time was too slow. To see through the essence of the ancient divine medicine was the only route.

The premise was that he had to thoroughly study the ancient divine medicine!

Unfortunately, these scientific instruments would not work. Feng Lin did not come up with any good solution at this time.

He was deep in thought as his mental energy unconsciously leaked from between his brows.

Suddenly, he came to a thought. Mental energy can detect everything, why could it not be used to detect the components of the ancient divine medicine?

Once he came up with the idea, he acted upon it.

However, to prevent his secret of awakening the Mental Gene from being discovered, Feng Lin acted as if he was observing the data on the instrument as he discreetly released his mental energy to penetrate the ancient divine medicine.

Immediately, he felt the difference.

Spirit particles and mental energy seemed to have a wonderful coordination that resulted in no interferences during the mental scan.

The components of the ancient divine medicine were presented clearly.

Feng Lin was surprised to see that the interior of the divine medicine was not a macromolecular structure. Instead, it was composed of numerous crystal-like substances that formed a paste.

Each crystal was independent of each other but closely bundled together as if it was one whole.

Feng Lin was secretly surprised. How was such a logical and scientific structure formed? It was simply a work of art!

This was impossible to achieve with the current gene potion technology. A completely new discovery!

Feng Lin couldn’t help but imagine what technology would have been able to refine such a wonderful—to its microscopic level—drug.

What godly technique!

This was completely incomprehensible with his current abilities.

For this exact reason, Feng Lin felt that the previous R&D department was on the wrong track. If they did not understand this strange technology, it would be impossible to recreate the effect of the divine medicine. Blindly exploring was of no use.

Just like a frog at the bottom of a well: no matter how intelligent and creative it was, it would not be able to know the real sky.

Feng Lin began to concentrate on his observations by utilizing his mental energy.

The more focused he was, the more detailed his perceptions became.

The crystals appeared to be perfect polygons. There were not too many or too little edges. They were filled with the beauty of arithmetic.

Thump thump thump!

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration. It was very light but clear.

Feng Lin could no longer control the expression on his face. He widened his eyes. He could feel that the crystals were shaking slightly as if they had life. Moreover, they were moving slowly as if they were tiny microbes.

This is not an illusion!

The crystal materials have… bio-magnetic field?

What is this?

Feng Lin was completely shocked!

Is this a life-refined medicine?
