"My purpose was simple. I wanted to find the item in advance and grasp Elder Nether Spring's secrets so that the Gold Crow Kingdom would be at an advantage in the competition between the Gold Crow Kingdom and the Nether Spring Kingdom. Or maybe, I could trade the item for some political benefits with Elder Nether Spring.
"However, Elder Nether Spring valued the item much more than I expected. He even sent his disciples to kill me at the risk of breaking off his relationship with the Gold Crow Kingdom!
"It seems that the elder of the Blade of Chaos was not exaggerating. The item is very likely to decide the future of the Blood Demon Sector!
"Senior, I'm speaking at the risk of my life. From the looks of it, the item is a hot potato.
"If the item has been your purpose since the beginning, there's nothing I can say. Now that the item is in your hands, you can kill me and run away.
"However, if you have nothing to do with the issue and are only involved in it by accident, you and I will be on the same side. Both of us will be Elder Nether Spring's great enemies.
"With my insignificant skills, I am naturally not qualified to fight side by side with you, senior. Also, with your remarkable abilities, I don't think that you will be scared of a demon emperor, either. However, Elder Nether Spring reigns over the Insect Clan in the world and is best known for his pestering. If you are haunted by him like a maggot on a bone, it will be a minor trouble for you."
"If you let me go, the Gold Crow Kingdom will be able to give you a hand and block the trouble. Won't it save you a lot of trouble?
"Besides, my father is the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons in person. He values the heroes of the world more than anything else. At such a critical moment, you will certainly be of great help if you go to the Gold Crow Kingdom!"
Jin Xinyue was truly bold. After calming down, she immediately hinted that she was trying to recruit Li Yao.
Li Yao smiled casually and said, "The item has been pierced. A weird green liquid was stored inside. Instead, it seeped into your body and caused many changes to you. "
"Do you feel that your body is very weird and that your demonic energy is not working well? It's not that I cast barriers on you; it's the effect of the weird green liquid. "
Jin Xinyue heard that. His expression changed drastically, and his hands involuntarily reached for his back, but where could he find a single feather?
She took a deep breath and carefully sensed the demonic energy in her body, trying to stimulate her cells. He returned to his original form, but his body was empty. His innate strength was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace!
For the first time, deep confusion beamed out of Jin Xinyue's eyes. She asked, "Senior, can I retrieve some magical equipment and demonic artifacts from the Cosmos Rings so that I can examine my own cells?"
Li Yao blinked and asked, "Cells? What's that? "
Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, "Cells are the most basic structural and functional units of life forms. It is a brand-new concept that was born in the last forty thousand years. Both the demon race and the human race are made of cells. "
"For us demons, cells are more important. The study of cells is the foundation of the path of modern demon cultivation."
Li Yao nodded and gestured for Jin Xinyue to do as she pleased.
Jin Xinyue calmed herself down. She rubbed a silver Cosmos Ring on her little finger with her thumb, while she mumbled a series of extraction codes. She retrieved three or four pieces of magical equipment from the Cosmos Ring.
One of the magical equipment was dark gold. Li Yao was quite serious. There was a delicate nameplate at the base of the magical equipment, on which the word 'Deep Sea' was engraved.
It turned out to be the 'Holy Land of Refiners' of the Xing Yao Federation. A piece of magical equipment produced by the Refining Department of Deep Sea University!
Jin Xinyue managed to control her shivering hands. She opened the cover of the magical equipment and stuffed a standard crystal inside, activating the magical equipment.
The seven crystal cameras on the magical equipment immediately began to revolve slowly.
Jin Xinyue explained, "Senior, this magical equipment is called a portable microscope. It can magnify objects up to eight hundred thousand times. You can see a world of infinite mysteries when you look at a mustard seed. "
Li Yao raised his eyebrow, as if he were very curious but unwilling to ask further for the sake of his face.
Although Jin Xinyue's mind was in a mess, she was still amused by Li Yao's expression. She continued, "Microscopes can be divided into two categories: spiritual energy microscopes and biochemical microscopes. The former is the specialty of human beings, while the latter is the specialty of demons.
"This spiritual energy microscope of mine is made by the best refiner in the Tian Yuan Realm. I'm going to analyze my own blood with it.
Jin Xinyue carefully picked up two crystal chips that had been polished to the point that they were almost non-existent. She then pricked her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. She held the blood in the middle of the crystal chips and inserted it into the fixed slot of the spiritual energy microscope. She observed for a long time.
Gradually, her face turned paler than a dead person's. Sweat was pouring out of her body nonstop, as if her spine had been plucked away. Her eyes lost focus, and she fell to the ground, like a fish that had been thrown to the ground heavily.
"No wonder Elder Nether Spring is trying to get this thing at all costs!"
Jin Xinyue did not come back to herself until she breathed heavily for a long time. She sucked her finger and smiled in a way that was even more hideous than crying. "He — he is running such a dreadful experiment and has even made a breakthrough. He — he can turn the demonized cells inside a demon's body into normal cells!"
"Senior, I … I …"
Jin Xinyue hesitated for a long time, but she still decided to tell the truth.
Although the guy did not even know what cells were, it did not mean that he was gullible. Her almost uncontrollable reaction just now had suggested a lot of things.
The guy was an old monster who could kill a demon king instantly by moving his finger. Jin Xinyue was very clear that it was best not to lie in front of such an old monster.
"I finally understand why Elder Nether Spring is trying to kill me at all costs, even leaving my father behind."
"Because what he lost was truly a very important drug, a drug that could infect the demonized cells and turn them into normal cells!
"To be more frank, it is a drug that can turn a demon into a human being!
"I … I seem to have been infected by the drug and turned into … into a human being!
"With your wisdom, of course, you know what kind of trouble such a drug can raise. You should also know that, after you are involved in it, you will not be able to get away easily no matter what your intentions are!
"The only solution right now is to ask you to return to Gold Crow City with me and ask my father, Jin Tuyi, to make further plans!"
Jin Xinyue sounded very righteous.
Li Yao, on the other hand, knew exactly what was going on. The witch was simply asking him to be her bodyguard for free. Chances were that she was planning to exploit some ancient secret arts or magical equipment from forty thousand years ago from him.
However, the witch did have a strong mind. If it were Li Yao, he might not have been as calm as her if he had suddenly turned into a demon from a human being.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are quite calm, too."
The mental devil crawled out of his brain at some point and grimaced. "You have been infected by the Blood Stripe Virus, and part of the cells inside your body are different from those of normal human beings, too. But aren't you as calm as before?
"If we are being honest, Jin Xinyue is 1% pure human being right now. You, on the other hand, are more like a demon!"
Li Yao triggered a lightning of his soul brutally. But the mental devil snuck into his brain the moment before it was hit by the lightning, leaving nothing but weird laughter.
Cold brilliance flashed in Li Yao's eyes. Solemnly, he said, "Just now, you mentioned that you have a lot of brand-new techniques of demon Training that were invented in the recent tens of thousands of years? What do you have? Show them to me! "
"As you wish, senior."
Jin Xinyue knew that whether or not her life could be saved depended on whether or not the items that she presented could pique the old monster's interest. Pondering for a moment, she scratched her hair softly and retrieved a Cosmos Ring that was hidden behind her ear. She shook the ring and retrieved six jade chips and a mini crystal processor.
"Senior, these are modern jade chips. Different from the ancient jade chips, they can only be activated with a piece of special magical equipment called 'crystal processor'. Although the steps are rather cumbersome, their storage capacity is hundreds if not thousands of times greater than that of the ancient jade chips. Other than storing simple text information, they can also store a lot of light and shadow images!
"Please take a look, senior. The six jade chips all store the marvelous arts that the demon race has developed in the past tens of thousands of years. They are the essence of the entire civilization of the demon race. Every one of them is so dominating that they can be called unparalleled techniques!
"Those techniques are just the tip of the iceberg for all the classics of the demon Training. There are a lot more techniques that are even more mysterious in the library of the Gold Crow Kingdom that are waiting for senior's in-depth study!"
Li Yao's curiosity was greatly aroused. Under the service of Jin Xinyue, he activated the crystal processor and inserted the few jade chips. The light beam immediately displayed the names of the classics of the demon race.
'Advanced Cell Biology'!
'Applied Microbiology'!
'Virology'!
'Cultivation of Man-Eating Fungi'!
'Training Methods for Highly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma Cells'!
'Introduction to Genes'!
Li Yao: "…"
Jin Xinyue introduced humbly but not without pride. "Senior, those are the classics that the modern demon race mainly studies. They may not be as simple and straightforward as the arts of the ancient demon race, but once you dig into them and completely understand the mysteries of cells and even genes, the techniques that you trigger will be hundreds if not thousands of times more powerful than those of the ancient demon Cultivators!"
"Huh?"
Li Yao sniffed, somewhat dissatisfied.
Jin Xinyue immediately lowered her head and pretended to be nervous. "I was being too talkative again, senior. With your keen eyes, you can certainly see the value of the classics after a quick glance!"
Li Yao lowered his eyelids and asked slowly, "What are genes?"
"Genes are the aggregation of genetic information stored deep inside our cells, which determines our birth, aging, sickness, death, and strength. 'Base' is the foundation, and 'cause' is the cause. When all of them are combined, genes are the origin of life and everything of life!"
Jin Xinyue explained quickly.
"Genetic information?"
Li Yao raised his eyebrow.
"Yes, genetic information."
