Chapter 474: The Experimental Subject with Blue Traces
When Ye Feng arrived at the East City gate as scheduled, several people were clearly waiting there for a long time. Leading them were two men and one woman, and the three behind them were none other than the ones whose arms Ye Feng had taken away before.
With just one glance, Ye Feng was certain these three were the key figures—their powerful aura was undeniable. Without a doubt, they were the strongest beings Ye Feng had encountered since arriving in the Divine Realm.
“Sorry for the wait, gentlemen. I’m Dao Feng,” Ye Feng said, bowing to them, though his expression remained relaxed.
“I’m Zi Jin. I heard you have a business proposal?” The Lord of the Dark Valley got straight to the point.
“That’s right,” Ye Feng nodded. His gaze also fell on the young man before him, who seemed even younger than himself and seemingly just reached adulthood. Yet he didn’t dare underestimate him at all—the dangerous aura emanating from this man clearly signaled that he was not someone to mess with.
“What is it?” The woman beside Zi Jin was covered in black veils, and her voice remained cold even through them.
“Something that can help you regain your original bloodline,” Ye Feng said with a slight smile. It was obvious that they urgently needed the gene potion in his hands. He paused briefly before continuing, “To be precise, it’s something that removes redundant parts from the bloodline and restores or even evolves the existing bloodline.”
“That sounds good, but how can we confirm its authenticity?” asked the man standing on Zi Jin’s other side. He wasn’t tall, appearing around thirty years old, with a murderous aura that made people shudder.
“He’s Mo Luo, and this beauty is You Ming,” Zi Jin added, pointing at them since neither of them had introduced themselves.
“In our hometown, there’s a theory called the Gene Theory. The so-called bloodline is actually the continuation of genes. The genes we inherit from our ancestors become mixed due to the intrusion of other genes, weakening our bloodline. Over time, this weakening becomes more severe.” Ye Feng’s explanation left the six of them somewhat stunned. “I happen to have a potion that can repair genes. It removes the impurities from the bloodline at its core and repairs the original bloodline… This repair isn’t just about restoration; it also involves integration…”
“Although I heard it unclearly, I basically understand how this thing works,” Zi Jin said after hearing Ye Feng’s explanation, nodding. “But you still haven’t answered Mo Luo’s question—how can we prove it’s effective?”
“That’s simple. You can find someone with a very strong original bloodline but currently weak to use as a test subject,” Ye Feng said without any concern.
“Can I be that person?” A weak voice came from behind the three of them—one of the Three-Armed Group.
“Qing Wen, are you sure you want to do this?” Zi Jin looked at his subordinate.
“Lord, as you know, my ancestral bloodline is extremely glorious. But in my generation, it’s even inferior to mid-tier divine beasts. I refuse to accept that… No matter how great the risk, I’m willing to give it a try.” Qing Wen was clearly determined.
“Let’s make it clear first—this potion is extremely valuable. This deal is only for you threeWorld of Warcraft kings. So, although I won’t charge anything for the test subject, once the potion is used, the subject will belong to me,” Ye Feng said calmly, looking at the master and his subordinate.
“You…” Zi Jin glared at Ye Feng, filled with anger upon hearing this.
“You can think about it—if something like this were put up for auction, with manyWorld of Warcraft kings and peak gods competing for it, what price do you think it would fetch?” Ye Feng didn’t want to argue with Zi Jin and shifted the topic. “For something of this precious nature, a starting price of one million top-tier divine crystals wouldn’t be excessive, right? So what price might it reach in an auction? Ten times, twenty times that might be possible.”
Zi Jin frowned. He had many top-tier divine crystals, but coming up with tens of millions wasn’t easy. After all,World of Warcraft were different from humans; their way of obtaining divine crystals was through plundering, which was far less efficient than large-scale human transactions.
“Besides, you can’t attend the large auctions inside the main city, can you?” Ye Feng hit upon the weakness of the threeWorld of Warcraft kings. Inside the main city, there were always peak gods guarding it, and it was impossible forWorld of Warcraft to get in. Entering the main city to attend an auction was impossible for anyWorld of Warcraft—unless they captured the city and held their own auction.
“If you really want to take advantage of us, I advise you to give up. Although we areWorld of Warcraft kings, we’re not as wealthy as you humans,” the gloomy voice remained cold.
“This deal with you doesn’t require your money. Just one promise from you!” Ye Feng smiled.
“Let me hear it!” Mo Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to use his Crystal of Absorption to buy it, it would probably take all his possessions just to get one.
“I am now the lord of Cent City. I hope you can promise not to attack Cent City anymore, nor allow your subordinates to attack it,” Ye Feng finally put forward his demands.
“Then where will we get our food?” You Ming was the first to react.
“I only said not to attack Cent City and the area within 100 kilometers around it. I don’t care about places further away; that’s within your jurisdiction.”
“10 kilometers!”
“10 kilometers is too little. I need a safe zone as a buffer. At least 80 kilometers—I won’t go any further,” Ye Feng conceded slightly.
“Alright, that works!” The three of them exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
“As for the reagent used for Qing Wen’s experiment, it counts as her own debt. She can leave my side once she repays it. Is that acceptable?” Ye Feng looked at Zi Jin, sensing that his anger hadn’t subsided.
“Lord, I’ll repay it myself. It’s fine,” Qing Wen also nodded in agreement.
“Alright, but I have one condition,” Zi Jin finally relented. “You can’t force Qing Wen to acknowledge you as her master.”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve never forced anyone to do that,” Ye Feng said with a shake of his head and a smile.
“Let’s get started!” Qing Wen said eagerly.
“First, I must emphasize that this process involves gene recombination, which is extremely painful. The pain is comparable to the tearing of the soul,” Ye Feng added as a reminder. “This reagent itself contains no energy. All the energy needed for recombination will be drawn automatically from your bodies. So make sure to have plenty of energy-restoring pills on hand. If the energy runs out, the gene recombination will stop. Depending on where it stops, if it involves critical genes, it could lead to complete energy loss or even death. Therefore, be sure to prepare enough pills. Third, the duration of the recombination process varies. The more genes need to be repaired, the longer it will take. The user must be fully conscious before they can see if the reagent is effective.”
Qing Wen checked the pills in her storage ring to ensure there were enough, then took out a few energy-restoring pills and put them in her mouth, hiding them on either side of her cheeks, ready to crush and use them at any time.
“Are you ready?” Ye Feng looked at the nervous Qing Wen.
“Mm!” Qing Wen nodded firmly.
Ye Feng took out a vial of reagent and inserted the needle into the artery on Qingwen’s wrist…
