Legend of the Mythological Genes

In ancient Huaxia, there were the records of the Peach Blossom Spring which documented a region that was cut off from the rest of the world. It didn’t have any communication with the external world, had its own relationships and ethos, and existed independently from the rest of the world.

Even if a person had entered it and left behind some brief records, it was impossible to find the place again.

This was the feeling that Feng Lin had now.

He took a step forward and the spiritual fog dispersed. A vast scene appeared before him as if it was an entirely different world.

The mountain valley was very deep; no one would think that there was another world here. It was a small place with green mountains and clear water.

The ginseng baby let out a cheer and ran over happily, twisting its small butt while crying out in a babyish voice.

There was an ancient-looking village on the green plains. Smoke rose from there and many figures were darting about within it.

Hearing the ginseng baby’s cry, all of them looked over in surprise and a commotion broke out.

“We found ginseng baby!”

“Everyone, come and take a look!”

“Where on did this wild child run off to? Hmm, what good food did it eat? How did it suddenly grow so big?

…

A group of villagers ran out and carried the ginseng baby, assessing it over and over again, afraid that it had been hurt.

The ginseng baby appeared as if it had met its family and cried out happily.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up and it crawled down, running over to the three little figures and played with them.

Feng Lin threw a glance and noticed that these three kids were a small tree, a lingzhi, and a snow lotus.

Their actual forms were all great nourishments as well as rare spiritual medicines.

This village was secluded from the rest of the world and had a large number of villagers. They seemed like humans, but the leaves that grew out of their heads showed that they weren’t ordinary people. They were brimming in spiritual qi. Each and every one of them was a transformed demonic spirit.

This was a village of demons!

“Ginseng baby, where did you run off to? That monster came attacking here earlier and I thought that you had been captured by it!”

“Why didn’t you come back after so long?”

“You gave us a scare!”

…

The group of demons surrounded ginseng baby and kept asking it questions, showering it with concern.

Yi yi ya ya…

The ginseng baby kept on swinging its hands and feet, pointing repeatedly toward Feng Lin and seeming to be saying something in an ancient tone.

Although Feng Lin hadn’t heard of this language before, the language was mixed with mental transmissions that couldn’t be hidden from him.

An elderly with a face full of wrinkles walked up and thanked Feng Lin. He cupped his hands together.

“It seems that an honorable guest has arrived and saved ginseng baby. No humans had visited our Hundred Grass Town before. It’s our negligence. Please come to our village!”

“Sir, you’re too kind!” Feng Lin returned the greeting and was secretly surprised.

This group of demons was very polite. They appeared as if they had studied before and conducted themselves like scholars of ancient times.

“Is this a human?”

“It’s really rare! This is the human race that the Old Ancestor had mentioned? They don’t look all that different from us!”

“They are different! I heard that humans are born with Xiantian Dao Body, unlike how we demons need to cultivate to acquire them!”

“I heard he saved ginseng baby!”

…

The group of demons surrounded Feng Lin and assessed him, as if they had seen something novel.

Feng Lin stood in the middle and didn’t appear too concerned. His gaze turned toward the surroundings.

The land was flat and vast, and the houses were neatly laid out. There were fields, beautiful ponds, as well as mulberry trees and bamboo… There were also reared chickens and dogs.

These demons wore ancient Huaxia long robes and didn’t appear too different from humans.

They stayed in this world, not communicating with the outside world. Thus, these demons hadn’t met humans from the outside world before. When they saw Feng Lin’s appearance, they immediately chatted excitedly amongst themselves.

“Honorable guest, please take a seat!” The tree demon, who was the village head, led Feng Lin into the village. He prepared a big table and brought out a tea set.

Then, pointing with his finger, three leaves gradually drifted down from his fingertips and landed into the teapot. After the hot water was added, it immediately released a strong tea fragrance that was capable of cleansing one’s heart.

Feng Lin smelled it and immediately felt a chill running down from his forehead and through his entire body. It was as if he had been cleansed by a refreshing aura.

“This is…” He was astonished.

The village head smiled. “Do excuse us. Our Hundred Grass Town has never had visitors before, and we don’t have anything to treat our guests. My actual form is a 1,000-year tea tree. You’ve saved ginseng baby, and we only offered this simple tea. I hope you don’t mind!”

Feng Lin didn’t think the same.

How could this be considered as simple tea?

This was clearly spiritual tea!

The tea leaves from a 1,000-year tree demon had matured through countless decades. Therefore, both the tea fragrance and spiritual qi had been condensed to an extreme. When drank in the long-run, it would give the cultivator tremendous benefits.

“Sir, you’re too kind!” Feng Lin appeared respectful and slowly raised the tea cup.

Three tea leaves floated on the clear green tea, forming a vortex and spinning non-stop.

A trickle of tea entered from his throat, and it felt as if a stream of spring water had gushed down, instantly striking his entire body.

It was as if he was naked and embraced by a clear breeze. His pores opened up and it felt as if his entire body had cleared up from inside out.

Genetic potential +4.8, +4.8, +4.8…

His potential surged rapidly.

Feng Lin’s countenance changed and he immediately shut his eyes and regulated his breathing. His genetic potential surged rapidly, giving him another free transcendent genetic point. Adding the one from before, he now had two genetic points.

All it took was just one cup of tea!

Just the fact that it allowed him to gain an additional genetic point alone had saved him from a lot of hard work in his cultivation.

He now owed a huge favor to them!

Feng Lin opened his eyes and thought.

The value of these tea leaves must be immeasurable consider what amazing effects they had.

The village head must have paid a great price to bring this out.

Feng Lin looked at this group of demons and his eyes glowed. He was now in no hurry to leave.

These demons were all transformed from spiritual herbs and plants to begin with. Although they looked ordinary, they had tremendous value.

They didn’t communicate with the outside world and were pure at heart, not harboring any schemes. As Feng Lin had saved the ginseng baby, they hosted him very warmly.

Many bowls and chopsticks were brought to the table. There were both meat and vegetable dishes, and they filled up the entire table, smelling wonderful.

A gourd-shaped wine container was placed before Feng Lin.

“I don’t drink wine!” Feng Lin frowned and rejected.

The village head didn’t think much of it and said, “Honorable guest, you can refuse other ordinary wine, but you must definitely drink this cup of wine. This is Monkey Wine. It was with great difficulty that we manage to trade it from the monkeys of the Rotten Peach Mountain. It’s brewed from a myriad of spiritual fruits, can cleanse the body of impurities, and has exceptional effects!”

“Monkey Wine?” Feng Lin got curious about this legendary fruit wine. He didn’t reject any further and drank one cup of it.

The wine wasn’t strong but had a deep fruity fragrance that hit right into his throat, letting him feel extremely refreshing. However, seething heat quickly gushed out and flowed throughout his entire body. It felt as warm and comfortable as if he was soaking in a hot spring. His body also felt completely relaxed.

The effect of the wine gushed up, giving him a floating feeling.

Feng Lin was immersed in the feeling, carefully sensing the changes that the wine had brought to his body.

Roar!

Suddenly, an astonishing beast roar sent a tremor through the air, bringing forth violent demonic air that was gushing over like strong gales. The great prowess instantly caused Feng Lin to wake up.

At this moment, a demonic spirit transformed from a goldthread [1] ran over and cried out in panic.

“Village head! This is bad! That Flood Tiger King from the Blackstone Mountain has led its demonic troops to fight its way here!!”
