Chapter 42 Spells and Genetic Skills

With the experience of extracting the genes of the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey, Ding Huan did not take any detours when refining the genes of the two-horned fire lizard to restore it.

However, his two-horned fire lizard may contain a trace of the blood of a divine beast. To completely transform the genetic skills of this divine beast's blood into his own attribute genes is much more difficult than the anti-poison gene of the golden-faced rough-tailed ape.

Ding Huan spent three days just to find the complete gene chain for injury recovery.

He basically never left the laboratory, and fortunately the laboratory was well equipped.

In order to restore his energy, Ding Huan practiced for another day.

The rest of the story was easy. On the fifth day, Ding Huan developed a true injury recovery gene.

In order to leave one for Qu Yi, he specially prepared two doses of this genetic medicine.

He also had a genetic potion for injury recovery extracted from the genes of the Hexagonal Salamander in his bag.

However, compared with the two real gene recovery potions now, there is a world of difference and they are completely on a different level.

As expected, there is a reward for every effort. If he hadn't risked his life to go to Penglu Mountain to search for the fire lizard that had a trace of the blood of the divine beast, how could he have made such a good thing?

Quickly pack up your things and check out of the lab.

The person in charge of renting the laboratory was not surprised that Ding Huanlai, who was dressed in tatters, came to cancel the lease of the laboratory.

There are too many geneticists who come to this laboratory, and there are too many people like Ding Huan who come out looking extremely sloppy.

Laboratory rental is not cheap, and it would be a waste if you have to go back and take a break after using it for a few days.

After leaving the laboratory, Ding Huan went to find a hotel first.

Puhai is really big. Although people from all over the world flocked to Puhai for the assessment of the top ten colleges in Blue Star, most of those people were concentrated around the Puhai Martial Arts Square.

Ding Huan's location was exactly east and west of the Puhai Martial Arts Square, so he found a place to live easily.

After resting for a night in the hotel, Ding Huan took the injury recovery genetic potion he had made himself.

It was clearly a genetic medicine at room temperature, but after taking it, it immediately turned into streams of cool spring water that penetrated every part of the body.

Ding Huan circulated the Luoshi Meridian to practice the Zhoutian Qigong, and after only two cycles he entered a state of meditation.

He woke up because someone knocked on the door.

Ding Huan opened his eyes and felt an indescribable comfort and pleasure all over his body.

"Bang, bang!" The door was knocked again.

Ding Huan was helpless and he could only open the door.

There was a waiter standing at the door. When he saw Ding Huan open the door, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you. We were a little worried because you haven't opened the door for three days."

"Forget it. If I don't come out, don't knock on my door. Don't worry about the room fee. I specially deposited 50,000 yuan."

Ding Huan waved his hand and could only let it go.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can always call us." The waiter apologized again and then left.

It seems that I still need to find a quiet place to meditate. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if I was disturbed after practicing for a few days.

After closing the door, Ding Huan looked at his arm.

Do you want to cut yourself with a knife and then try to see how your injury heals?
He was already a second-level genetic monk, so why would he need a knife? It should be no problem to gather his internal energy and cut his arm, right?

Ding Huan was thinking about how to use his internal energy to gather sword energy to cut his arm. This required controlling the strength of the internal energy so as not to break his arm.

A sudden message appeared in Ding Huan's mind: Wind Blade Technique...

Wind Blade Technique? Ding Huan suddenly stood up. How could such information appear in his mind?
But the next moment, the method of performing the Wind Blade Technique was as clear as if it was engraved in his memory.

Amazing!
Ding Huan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He didn't think that the Wind Blade Technique was very powerful. This Wind Blade Technique was indeed very powerful. According to his memory, as long as he condensed his internal energy through the spell, he could easily send out wind blades.

Ding Huan thought that the scroll was amazing. No, it was the person who made the scroll who was amazing.

How much information is there in that scroll that he has not yet developed?
“I think that even if humans advance to the genetic era and obtain genetic spiritual roots, it will be difficult for them to return to the era of pure spiritual root cultivation.

The reason is that in the era of Dharma cultivation, there are too many powerful people with spiritual roots.

After countless years of deliberation and repeated attempts by generations, they came up with various simple and complex spells...

I can’t possibly pass down all those spells, but I can still engrave simple Taoist spells such as Wind Blade, Wind Control, Fireball, Dust Removal, and Air Concealment in this leather scroll…”

The information that appeared in his mind made Ding Huan stunned.

Things like wind blades, fireballs, and wind control are also available in Changyi Continent, but these abilities are achieved through genetic drugs.

For example, the wind blade requires the fusion of the genes of the blade-spitting toad to create a genetic medicine, and then this genetic medicine is fused to obtain the wind blade technique.

Another example is the fireball technique, which requires extracting the fire-breathing gene from the Fire Kirin, creating a genetic medicine and integrating it into the human body.

Forget about other mutant species, but the Fire Qilin is not a mutant species.

If you want a Fire Qilin that has the fire-breathing gene, you must have a Fire Qilin that has a trace of the blood of a divine beast.

Therefore, in Changyi Continent, a fire unicorn with the ability to breathe fire is a priceless treasure.

No, it should be said that every drop of blood of this Fire Kirin is a priceless treasure.

But the memory in his mind shows that he can use spells to perform wind blade and fireball spells...

Instead of genetic skill potion.

Ding Huan fell silent instead.

He had always thought that genetic spiritual roots were spiritual roots, and there was no difference. According to the information from the leather scrolls he had obtained, the ancient immortals and gods became extinct because their spiritual roots disappeared.

Therefore, if he wanted to practice, he could only fuse his genetic roots.

Now that he has integrated his genetic spiritual roots, he has the foundation to become an immortal god and get closer to the ancient powerful ones.

Is this really the case?
Now there is a divergence here. After cultivating spiritual roots, magic appears. After cultivating genetic spiritual roots, heterogeneous skill fusion appears.

When Ding Huan thought of this, he suddenly circulated his internal energy, and quickly made a spell with both hands. Then a blade appeared from his hands and blasted out.

"Crack!" The bedside table not far away was almost split in half by his wind blade.

Seeing a deep mark appear on the bedside table, Ding Huan took a breath of cold air. What a powerful wind blade technique. If this hit a person, wouldn't it be cut in half directly?

This was his first time using the Wind Blade Technique. What would happen if he became proficient in it?
Isn't this much stronger than the fusion of allogeneic skills?
In his previous life in Changyi Continent, he dreamed of getting a blade-spitting toad to use for the fusion of blade gene potion.

Unfortunately, he never got it until his death.

It's so easy now? The effect is far stronger than the blade-spitting skill of the fused blade-spitting toad gene.

Ding Huan immediately went to the bathroom and formed a series of spells with his hands. Half a minute later, a faint smoke dissipated in Ding Huan's palms, and no fireball appeared.

Ding Huan did not try again. The reason why he failed to blast out a fireball was because he was unfamiliar with it, not because there was anything wrong with the fireball spell.

He was almost certain that this spell, combined with internal energy, could really be used to blast out fireballs as long as one became proficient in it.

After calming down, Ding Huan understood that it was not that his genetic spiritual roots were inferior to the spiritual roots that the ancients had for cultivation.

When cultivating genetic spiritual roots to a later stage, all abilities are acquired through the fusion of genetic skills, which is definitely wrong.

It should be that part of the ability is in the direction of magic, and part of the ability is achieved through the fusion of foreign genes.

The reason why Changyi Continent did not move towards the direction of magic was because there were too few powerful cultivators and they had not found the direction to practice magic.

Now that he has obtained the ready-made method of constructing the wind blade from the scroll, he can easily create the wind blade.

Currently, Ding Huan is the only one who practices with genetic spiritual roots.

If it weren't for the guidance of this scroll, perhaps he would have developed fireball and wind blade techniques in the future, but those would also require time to develop.

Ding Huan vaguely understood that in genetic cultivation, genetic abilities and genetic skills cannot be lumped together.

Genetic skills, such as Fireball, Wind Blade, etc., all fall into this category.

These skills can be integrated through heterogeneity.

That is to say, genes are extracted from animals and plants that possess these innate skills, and then these genes are fused into one's own, allowing oneself to possess this ability.

The disadvantage is that after integrating this skill, it cannot be advanced.

For example, in the Changyi Continent, there are wind blade skills fused through the blade-spitting toad, and flame magic skills fused through the fire unicorn.

He had already noticed this problem, so he changed the method of gene fusion when refining and integrating the Golden-faced Rough-tailed Ape's anti-poison skills.

He combined his own genes, turning the poison-resistant gene ability into his own ability, which can grow with the improvement of his cultivation.

But other genetic monks don't have this ability.

Now he knew that magic could solve this problem.

Spell realization is more powerful than gene fusion skill realization.

For the same ability, such as Wind Blade, the spell is not only more powerful, but also improves as the cultivation level increases.

This is not to say that magic is superior to genetic fusion in all aspects.

For example, the genes he possesses for resisting poison and recovering from injury are probably difficult to achieve through magic.

Even if it can be achieved through magic, the effect cannot be as strong as the attribute ability he possesses.

The path of genetic cultivation in Ding Huan's mind became clearer and clearer.

The achievements of a cultivator with genetic spiritual roots will not be weaker than those of a cultivator who already possesses spiritual roots.

The key is how practitioners use it.

For example, abilities such as resistance to poison, recovery from injuries, physical fitness, etc., require the fusion of heterogenic genes to transform them into one's own ability genes. These ordinary spells cannot achieve this.

For skills such as fireball, wind blade, wind control, etc., it is best not to look for foreign genes by yourself to make genetic potions for fusion.

Because these can be called magic, they can be achieved through other means, such as spells and qigong methods.

The same applies if he wants to develop more powerful offensive spells in the future.

If you really want to integrate these skill genes and turn them into your own abilities.

That would be just like creating anti-toxic genes, so that after these skills are integrated into oneself, they can be improved as one's cultivation level increases.

You must never simply integrate them, as this will only limit your own growth.

After figuring out this problem, Ding Huan felt very happy.

He was originally worried about how to find some mutant beasts with powerful attack methods, and extract the attack genes of these mutant beasts to turn them into his own attack methods.

It is not necessary now, and I will try to do less of this in the future.

He now needs to find a place to practice his wind blade technique, fireball technique and wind control technique repeatedly.

Once these abilities are in place, even if you encounter a heavenly-level warrior, you can at least protect yourself, right?
