"Jin Qiasheng is incredibly lucky, as he has found a variant gene medicine, Qingtianhua, in the Beilong Mountains for his son."
Ding Huan hasn't started practicing the Net Awareness Scripture yet. Upon hearing about the variant Qingtianhua flower, he immediately became interested.
In his previous life, Ding Huan was merely a disposable genetic test subject. However, this did not prevent him from knowing about the variant Qingtianhua flower.
He has never seen this variant Qingtianhua flower on the Changyi Continent, and it might very well be a special product of Earth.
It is said that Qingtianhua naturally contains genes that can perfectly integrate with the human body. As long as one consumes the variant Qingtianhua, they can expand their Dan Tian, making their meridians clear and resilient.
Expanding the Dan Tian and making the meridians clear and resilient would just make the cultivation of martial arts easier, right?
Yanyao, the first innate martial artist on Earth, is said to have taken the variant Qingtianhua flower and rapidly advanced in martial cultivation in just twenty years, reaching the peak level of a martial artist and an innate martial artist.
Therefore, the variant Qingtianhua flower is so valuable that it's almost priceless. It can be said that one cannot easily obtain such a flower. Even the best gene drugs cannot compare in price to the variant Qingtianhua flower.
Is there a variant Qingtianhua flower in the Beilong Mountains?
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the speaker, who was an middle-aged man. There were two others with him, all of whom looked to be of similar age.
"Who said that wasn't the case? We hope that we'll have good luck tomorrow as well. Even if we can't find the variant Qingtianhua flower, finding some other gene medicinal herbs would be nice." The person next to him sighed.
"That's right. I just want to find some good gene medicinal herbs for my son, who's not amounting to much. With the assessment only two months away, I'm feeling desperate."
Ding Huan understood from their conversation that these people were searching for rare medicinal herbs in the Beilong Mountains.
As for the assessment, it's no secret that it is the recruitment examination of the ten Blue Star Academies.
Of course, the best rare medicinal herbs are gene drugs.
Ding Huan stood up, he couldn't just wait here, he needed to go to the Beilong Mountains overnight.
Before Qiu Yi said he would go to Puhai to try his luck, it is very likely that he went to take the recruitment examination of the ten Blue Star Academies. Wrong, not possibly but definitely.
Because the location of the recruitment examination for the ten Blue Star Academies is in Puhai.
Qu Yi going to Puhai must leave early tomorrow morning.
Since that's the case, he needs to go into the mountains overnight to find the relevant herbs and then make a spiritual root gene for Qu Yi. Otherwise, Qu Yi will leave Annhe tomorrow.
Ding Huan would absolutely refuse to use his own eyebrow blood to refine a spiritual root gene for someone else, but for Qu Yi, he is willing to.
If Qu Yi integrates the spiritual root gene, it will be much better than simply taking the variant Qingtianhua flower.
After integrating the gene medicinal herbs and the variant Qingtianhua flower, it's true that it can significantly enhance the potential of gene cultivators or martial artists, but whether they can reach the gene foundation stage is uncertain.
If the spiritual root gene is integrated, combined with the Net Awareness Scripture, Ding Huan estimates that there is a high probability of reaching the gene foundation stage.
Ding Huan never hesitates in his actions. He will go immediately after making a decision.
He believes that with his level one gene refiner strength, combined with his experience, he will be relatively safe in the Beilong Mountains as long as he is careful.
When he first entered the Qianluo Mountain, he was nothing more than an ordinary student.
...
"I, I, that person has left. I thought he was going to wait for you here in the hall forever."
At Yi Lan Hotel, the girl who was with Qu Yi returned after gathering information, her tone slightly cheerful.
Qu Yi shook his head, "Little Fei, you are thinking too much. He probably had no malicious intent. I thought about it for a long time, but I just can't remember if I know him."
From Ding Huan's expression, Qu Yi can feel that Ding Huan seems to know her. However, she is truly unable to remember where she has seen Ding Huan before.
Her social circle isn't very large, so if she had met Ding Huan, she should be able to remember it.
"You are thinking about people too optimistically. There are a lot of abnormal people now. Qu Yi, we need to be more careful. Otherwise, we'll leave early in the morning tomorrow to avoid that guy coming again."
The girl named Little Fei spoke firmly.
...
At present, gene beasts are rampant, and it is extremely unsafe outside.
A city like Annhe has not only constructed new walls and protective gates, but also built electronic defense systems.
The protective gates must be closed at dusk every day. In addition to that, there are four soldiers guarding them. If anything suspicious is detected, the alarm system is immediately activated.
When Ding Huan left the Annhe County, the protective gate was just about to close. Ding Huan quickly accelerated and rushed out of the protective gate just in time.
Upon seeing Ding Huan leave the protective gate, a soldier on duty shouted,
"You're going out now, but there's nowhere to land around here. Besides, this is Annhe; it's not like other places."
The soldier's meaning is that there are many more gene beasts outside Annhe County than in other places. It's possible to encounter them when leaving Annhe County.
"Thank you." Ding Huan waved at the soldier who kindly reminded him and turned away quickly.
The soldier sighed, knowing that he had already given the warning. He could only hope that Ding Huan would be blessed and find his own way.
"What are you sighing about? There are plenty of people who are looking for death, and adding one more won't make a difference. This guy clearly comes from a safe area, unscathed by beast attacks." His companion added.
"I'm not sighing for him, but for the times. In just half a century, why have we become this way?"
Even when he was young, he didn't have to worry about his own survival and safety.
...
The reason why Annhe is much more dangerous than Luo River is because the Beilong Mountains are less than ten kilometers from Annhe County.
After leaving Annhe County, Ding Huan ran at full speed, hoping to return to Annhe by tomorrow morning so that he could accompany Qu Yi on their journey to Puhai.
Once he arrives in Puhai, he will be able to rent a gene laboratory and refine the wooden system spiritual root gene for Qu Yi.
The main reason why Ding Huan dared to run swiftly on the road was that his own strength had increased.
If even level one gene cultivators cannot protect themselves, the situation in the wild would be very harsh.
While thinking about how he could protect himself, Ding Huan suddenly felt something was wrong. A burst of white lightning then suddenly rushed towards his head from the side.
In a state of urgency, Ding Huan twisted his body and barely dodged the attack.
This scared Ding Huan out of a cold sweat. He quickly stopped in his tracks and grabbed a short knife from his bag with his free hand.
He was constantly on guard and barely avoided being hit by this burst of white light.
Before Ding Huan could steady himself, the white figure charged at him again, this time even faster than before.
Fortunately, this time Ding Huan's mind was entirely focused on the white figure, and his body leaned backwards slightly as the white figure charged towards him. In that instant, he wielded his knife and struck it.
A piercing, shrill screech rang out. Ding Huan saw another gray figure shoot out from the side of the grass, disappearing in an instant.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the white shadow, which was a variant gene beast. Its appearance was somewhat like a leopard, but Ding Huan was certain it was not a leopard.
It's not because of the color, gene mutations can cause white leopards to appear as well.
The creature he killed in front of him should be a mutated lynx.
What a terrifying beast. Ding Huan's gaze fell on the direction where the gray shadow had fled, his heart still racing with fear.
It's not because the lynx's sneak attack almost succeeded, but rather its strategy made him feel chilled to the bone.
A beast should know how to use tactics, which is why one village after another was wiped out by gene beasts.
If he were not a level one gene cultivator, in other words, if he still had the strength he had when he first entered Qianluo Mountain, he would have been dead by now.
The white lynx suddenly launched an attack because Ding Huan was a level one gene cultivator, so he could counterattack with his sword. Otherwise, he would have had to dodge sideways.
Even in the situation where he could escape by dodging sideways, he still might have been killed.
If he escaped to the side, he would definitely fall into the mouth of the gray lynx hiding on the side.
The gray lynx saw him kill his companion and immediately judged that he was not his match, turned to flee decisively.
Based on Ding Huan's understanding of this type of gene beast, the lynx that had just fled was very likely to continue its sneak attack on him.
Regardless of whether he would be retaliated by the lynx, Ding Huan wouldn't care. He didn't put the knife back into his backpack, but instead carried the knife and continued towards the Beilong Mountains, slowing down a bit in speed.
The soldier didn't deceive him. The area around Annhe is ten times more dangerous than the area around Luohe City.
Ding Huan encountered several more gene beast ambushes on his way. Although they were all ordinary gene beasts, this further demonstrated the danger of the Beilong Mountains.
At the same time, it also indicates that the real threat of gene beasts to humans has not yet arrived. In the last life, after his eyes were restored, he was taken by the Gene Union to a vast universe.
Of course, he was taken along because the Gene Union needed to conduct gene experiments on new life planets when searching for them.
One hour later, Ding Huan arrived at the foot of the Beilong Mountains. Along the way, he killed at least seven gene beasts, with the most dangerous being a mutant wild boar.
Otherwise, this distance would take Ding Huan only about ten to fifteen minutes.
