The memories faded and the illusory scene gradually vanished.

　　Feng Lin stood at his original location, stunned beyond words. A brand new memory appeared in his mind, the Furnace Alchemy Art.

　　However, he didn’t care about this now. He could still see the mysterious smile of that old man and his words which caused Feng Lin’s heart to tremble.

　　Was that a coincidence?

　　Feng Lin shook his head.

　　Although their gazes matched for just an instant, he was sure that he didn’t see it wrongly.

　　That old man exuding an air of immortality intentionally ignored the puzzlement of his students and explained the common knowledge of their sect to him.

　　After speaking, maybe the old man had already achieved his objectives. He changed the topic and started to speak about the most famous pill concoction technique in the Furnace Immortal Sect, the Furnace Alchemy Art.

　　This was a pill concoction method that could control the energy of heaven and earth, using Yin and Yang as fire, refining the multitude of living things in the world. It had incredibly wondrous effects and was the foundation of all of the Furnace Immortal Sect’s alchemy methods.

　　No matter which alchemy methods of the sect, regardless of their grade, they were all evolved from this foundation art. This was how the multitude of dao scriptures were evolved from the sacred text of Daoism from Lao-Tze.

　　Feng Lin immersed himself, sighing with admiration as he concentrated. When he finally managed to engrave this technique in his mind, all the images from the memories had already completely faded.

　　He recalled the strange actions and the gaze of that old man earlier as a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

　　Earlier in that memory, all the words and actions of that old man were done and spoken for the sake of a single person…

　　And that person was none other than Feng Lin!

　　This thinking was extremely crazy and audacious. Even after Feng Lin concluded that it was true, he was still extremely frightened, yet he completely believed his conclusion.

　　This was especially true at the very end before the illusory scenes completely vanished. This old man had whispered into his mind. “Man from the future, the Great Calamity of the Annihilation of Laws will soon descend upon the world. I’ll hand over the inheritance of my Furnace Immortal Sect to you, and you will be the one responsible for spreading it now.”

　　In the myths and legends of ancient china, those powerful cultivators were able to cultivate to a state where they became existences equal to gods and devils. At that time, they would be able to peer through time and gain an inkling of what the future would hold, allowing them to see through heavenly fate. Could that old man be an existence like that?

　　However, being able to predict a calamity that is millions of years later, didn’t that sound like too much of an exaggeration?! If that’s true, it means that the strength of the old man wouldn’t be considered weak even among gods and devils!

　　But what does the words ‘Great Calamity of the Annihilation of Laws’ mean?

　　…

　　Feng Lin felt an unbearable itch in his heart. He felt that he had faintly come in contact with the truth of ancient myths and legends. However, many things were still obscure to him, and he still couldn’t be sure of anything yet.

　　Many speculations arose in his mind, but he had no way to accurately deduce anything.

　　All of a sudden, he seemed to have sensed something. His expression tightened as he sent out all his mental energy, forming them into needles that ruthlessly pierced into the crystal lifeforms.

　　Those crystal lifeforms let out cries of despair but very soon, their life aura faded away completely.

　　Cold sweat dripped from Feng Lin’s forehead. He was forcibly using his mental energy to destroy the consciousness of these crystal lifeforms, killing them all.

　　Earlier, because of carelessness, Feng Lin revealed his shock too openly.

　　For those who had strengthened their Mental Genes to a certain extent, they would be able to use their metal perception to probe the secret of this ancient divine medicine. He had no way to hide this, but it was impossible for Feng Lin to allow people like Frank and Aike from the white race to obtain this inheritance.

　　Since they weren’t from his own race, their intention would surely be different.

　　For the inheritance left behind by that old ancestor, as a junior, he naturally had to protect it well. He wasn’t going to allow people with malicious intentions to obtain it.

　　As to what he should say in explanation later, Feng Lin already had a strategy.

　　After obtaining the inheritance of the Furnace Alchemy Art, Feng Lin wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He immediately started his research.

　　He calmed himself down and continued to act like how he had done earlier, taking down notes periodically. However, he was silently musing in his heart at what he had obtained through this fortuitous encounter.

　　So it turned out that the paste-like substance wasn’t an ancient divine medicine. It was just a unique magic pill from the Furnace Immortal Sect known as the Grandmist Fate Pill.

　　According to the cultivation theory of the Furnace Immortal Sect, the human body was made up of 60 trillion grandmist worms.

　　This Grandmist Fate Pill could allow the medicinal potency to seep into each and every grandmist worm, allowing humans to transcend themselves, reforging them anew. The great potential in their bodies would be stimulated as their vitality stats would instantly reach a much greater height than before.

　　60 trillion grandmist worms?

　　Isn’t that the same number as the cells in the human body?

　　Could it be that grandmist worms were referring to the cells in human bodies?

　　…

　　Feng Lin silently speculated, feeling that this was highly possible.

　　The civilization of myths and legends didn’t belong to the same system as the civilization of science. Although their research of the human body had reached an extremely high level, the same object might not be called using the same term. For example, cells were known as ‘grandmist worms’ in the civilization of myths and legends. And earlier, that old man in the memory referred to ‘bio-magnetic fields’ as ‘destiny’…

　　Feng Lin didn’t make a big fuss about all these and worry himself over the small details. Wild joy painted his countenance instead. From the pill concoction technique, he had already discovered that magic pills might contain an overwhelming amout of medicinal strength, but there was a way for ordinary humans to consume it.

　　There was a total of two reasons.

　　Firstly, the shape of the pill was a perfect sphere-shape. This was an extremely logical structure. It was able to lock the full medicinal potency within, and the moment the pill entered the stomach, all the medicinal potency wouldn’t flood out in an instant. The pill would release the medicinal potency bit by bit, allowing it to seep through the entire body slowly. The human body wouldn’t have to bear too great of a burden then.

　　Secondly, alchemy was considered a method of seizing fate. Each and every magic pill concocted was a little life, and they were able to emit their own bio-magnetic fields, capable of adapting to different human bodies. This was somewhat similar to hypnotism.

　　Through these discoveries, Feng Lin realized that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was completely on the wrong path.

　　Because genetic potion theory of the current era belonged to a system that was entirely different from alchemy theory. There were only relatively few common points.

　　For genetic potion theory, its origins were from western mythologies of Ancient Earth Era. The theory had been formed from development of interstellar science and technology, paying attention to the analysis of medical effects, further modulating the efficacy of the medicine step by step.

　　As for alchemy (pill concoction), its core theory was life creation. It was seen as a simulation of cosmic creation where miniature lifeforms could be created, able to become a part of nature.

　　Alchemy and genetic potions were two completely different theoretical systems. By just purely imitating the ancient divine medicine’s effect, it was impossible to obtain the true divine charm of alchemy.

　　Upon seeing the research records kept by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, Feng Lin could set his heart at ease.

　　For his next actions, he knew what he had to do. He knew how he should display his discoveries while not fully revealing the secrets of this ancient divine medicine.

　　From the start until now, there were simply too many suspicious points about the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. Feng Lin held a strong wariness to them in his heart, and he had to guard against them.

　　After that, he started to experiment again, pretending to prepare potions, wanting to grasp the process of the pill concoction technique.

　　“Quickly look! He is preparing a potion. Can it be that he truly discovered something?”

　　“I’m not sure, but we will know if we continue watching.”

　　…

　　Frank and Aike exchanged a mutual glance. They started to pay even closer attention to every move of Feng Lin.

　　Feng Lin started to prepare potions, but his way of doing so was different from the past. He no longer blindly modulated the medicinal components, but he directly used flames to refine them instead.

　　Using genetic potion theory and science as support, Feng Lin could control the composition precisely and modulate the different effects of the medicinal components. In order to cultivate alchemy, he first had to train up his mental perception. Naturally, back in the Ancient Era, mental perception was known as divine sense.

　　Only divine sense that was ethereal and formless could truly sense all the miraculous transformations during alchemy, and proceed with micro-manipulation to set things on the correct path, achieving the effect of transforming something rotten into something wondrous.

　　Feng Lin didn’t have a furnace. Also, his current cultivation base was still too low; thus, it was impossible for him to create magic pills that had a life.

　　But this didn’t mean that he wasn’t able to use a little of the alchemy techniques he had learned when creating genetic potions!

　　Magic pills had a unique internal structure that could lock in the medicinal potency. This was one of the main reasons why magic pills were able to be consumed by ordinary humans. If he applied this knowledge on genetic potions, would he be able to achieve a similar result?

　　Feng Lin silently speculated but he wasn’t confident in it. Even so, it was worth a try.

　　Feng Lin extended his mental energy, closely monitoring the reactions of the medicinal components. He then pressed his will upon them, urging them to transform into the crystalline internal structure of magic pills, making the vast majority of these medical substances link together, forming a spherical shape that could securely lock the medicinal potency within.

　　After that, he used some techniques of alchemy. But of course, what he used was only the tip of the iceberg of his knowledge. Even so, it was already sufficient, Feng Lin discovered that this genetic potion was being crystallized due to his mental control, and its internal structure became a wonderful and magnificent geometric structure.

　　In this way, he could show off his new discovery and gain recognition from the Giant Pharmaceutical Group, thereby obtaining more core secrets. He wouldn’t expose too much of his secrets as well.

　　Feng Lin was using a completely new method, and this unusual scene instantly drew Frank and Aike’s attention.

　　“Strange, did you see it? Feng Lin kept using fire to boil the potion, what is he doing?” Frank asked in a low voice.

　　“I’m not sure either. Usually, we only use flames to increase the temperature to strengthen the medicinal potency. If he continued boiling it, wouldn’t all the potion evaporate?” Aike spoke in a puzzled tone.

　　“Evaporation?” Frank started and then asked another question, “Do you feel that this is how the paste-like substance of the ancient divine medicine was created?”

　　“Impossible!” Aike shook his head with certainty. But after a moment of contemplation, he wasn’t so sure as he spoke, “There might be a connection with it, but it shouldn’t be so simple. The medicinal potency of genetic potions are incredibly strong, and this is why we create them in liquid form, for the purpose of dilution, allowing the human body to be able to endure it. If not, even interstellar cultivators will not be able to endure the medicinal potency. If the genetic potions took on solid form, the medicinal potency in them would surely be extremely strong. Once it was swallowed by a human body, the medicinal potency would erupt outward, causing the consumer to explode.

　　Yet, Frank didn’t really agree with Aike’s deduction. “If that’s the case, why would this ancient divine medicine be in solid form?”

　　Aike had nothing to say, but he persisted in his views. “Although the ancient divine medicine is in solid form, there must definitely be a secret within this. It’s not so simple as just evaporating the genetic potions with fire!”

　　Frank nodded, he didn’t rebut anything. He calmly continued, “It’s useless to comment more about it. Let’s head into the laboratory and watch it personally for ourselves.”

　　After speaking, he took the lead and walked toward the sealed laboratory.

　　Aike gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.

　　The moment they entered the laboratory, Feng Lin instantly sensed it but he pretended not to notice and continued to refine the potion.

　　Finally, the powdered form of crystals appeared in his hands. They were translucent and sparkling, extremely dazzling.

　　“Feng Lin, what are these?” Frank asked.

　　Feng Lin revealed an expression of amazement that was just right, not overdone. It was like he just discovered their arrival. He smiled. “This is a genetic medicinal substance I created by copying the ancient divine medicine.”

　　“Oh?” Frank’s expression changed. “Could it be that you really discovered something?”

　　His gaze focused on Feng Lin as though wanting to see through his secrets.

　　Feng Lin didn’t hesitate. He directly nodded his head like there was no wariness in his heart at all. He acted like he concealed nothing as he continued, “I discovered that the concentration of spirit particles in the ancient divine medicine is extremely rich and it will interfere with the probes from machinery; hence, I tried another method instead. I used mental energy to probe the ancient divine medicine and obtained a great discovery. Inside of it, its molecular structures are actually formed from crystal-like objects linking together. Hence, I wanted to see if I can replicate this.

　　“Probing by mental energy, a crystal structure!” Frank started, he couldn’t help but ask, “Feng Lin, can it be that you’ve awakened the Mental Gene?”

　　“Yes!” Since he had already revealed a flaw earlier accidentally, he might as well directly admit it. “I have some talent in terms of my psyche and managed to awaken the Mental Gene, gaining the powers of mental perception!”

　　Frank and Aike exchanged glances and had heavy expressions on their faces.

　　They knew that the Mental Gene was an extremely rare high-grade basic gene. It wasn’t something that could be awakened just because you wanted to awaken it.

　　Although Feng Lin spoke of it casually, there was clearly a deeper layer of meaning behind his words.

　　Also, as for using mental energy to probe the ancient divine medicine, someone in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had also done so before, but why didn’t they discover anything?

　　In any case, Feng Lin didn’t seem to be lying. There was only a conclusion then!

　　Feng Lin’s Mental Gene must have already been strengthened to a point where ordinary humans would find it tough to strengthen it to. This caused his mental energy to be extremely strong, yet also could be as precise as he wanted it to be. Only then would he be able to discover this amazing discovery.

　　“You feel like the crystal-like structure is the key why ordinary humans can use the ancient divine medicine?” Frank asked.

　　“That’s right!” Feng Lin nodded, “The ancient divine medicine is formed from many crystals linking together. Maybe, it’s precisely because of this strange structure that the medicinal potency was able to be locked inside. After ordinary humans use it, the crystal membrane would act as a filter, allowing the medicinal potency to slowly seep out, allowing their bodies to absorb it…”

　　He mixed in lies with truth as he gave his conjecture. He used some of the simplest theory of alchemy to come up with this, but these few words already caused both Frank and Aike to be stunned.

　　Feng Lin wasn’t afraid that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company would discover the truth, because earlier, he had already acted in advance, killing the crystal lifeforms with his mental energy. Even if there were people in the company who had awakened the Mental Gene and strengthened it to a very high level, it was no longer possible for them to discover the secret of the alchemy arts.

　　Feng Lin didn’t stop. He lit up another fire in their hearts.

　　“Because of this new discovery, I feel that if we can truly replicate the crystal structure inside the ancient divine medicine, it’s very possible for us to imitate its godly effects. Hence, I named this new technique as …” As he spoke, he stopped to let the moment sink in as he contemplated a little before he continued, creating a new name.

　　“Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique!”
