Chapter 98: Ancient Divine Medicine

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Hua, hua, hua!

Wings of Wind and Thunder flapped non-stop. Meanwhile, the wind and thunder tore through the surrounding in an imposing manner.

Within the narrow glass container, all they could see was rolling thunder and raging winds. The tornado and thunder shrouded the experiment subject from observation.

“The person is awake! It is surely worthy of the name ancient divine medicine, what miraculous effects it has!”

“If we could research the technique to develop it, we could subvert the entire gene potion market. Flourish and wealth, our Giant Pharmaceutical Company will become rich!”

“Quick, what are you waiting for! Study the new data from this lab rat!”

…

The R&D Department within the video was in chaos.

Feng Lin was also struck dumb when he saw this scene.

An ordinary person could grow the Wings of Wind and Thunder after consuming the ancient divine medicine. This scene was beyond imagination. It was in a complete contradiction with the theory of mythological genes!

It was no wonder that Luke from Mars Revolutionary Army was full of hostility and jealousy. It turned out that Giant Pharmaceutical Company had discovered a possibility that gene potion could be consumed by ordinary people. However, it was a technology that could not be resurrected at this time.

Boom!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of glass bursting.

Feng Lin watched in surprise. The highly tempered glass container was completely shattered and had fallen to the ground.

A fierce wind swept through for a second, and a slender man could be seen standing in place, carrying indomitable spirit inside his streamlined muscular body.

The man closed his wings together to cover himself; the researchers couldn’t get a clear look at his face.

“This is bad! The lab rat has escaped from the glass container!”

“Based on the intensity of his energy fluctuation, he may have already become a genetic cultivator!”

“Capture him, don’t let him get away. This is our best lab rat!”

…

Due to the sudden change in events, their surprise immediately turned to panic. Moreover, the words they had spoken angered the experiment subject even further.

Spreading his wings and revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes, the sounds he released from his throat were hoarse and low. It would seem that the experiment subject had not spoken in a long time. He gnawed his teeth as he spoke one word at a time, “I… want…you… all… dead!”

Once the word ‘dead’ was spoken, the next instance, the experiment subject accelerated from stillness to his peak speed, turning into a shadow and throwing himself at the crowd as if he was a ruthless predator. The feathers of his wings were sturdy and sharp.

His wings swept across, releasing a light that radiated the surroundings, blowing the dense red fog away.

In an instant, those feeble researchers couldn’t fight back, and it resulted in heavy casualties.

Powerful wind and thunder were released every time the mutated man flapped his wings.

He intently vented while flaunting his power, turning the R&D Department into a mess; screams could be heard and fleeing bodies could be seen.

Just when Feng Lin thought that the mutated man would continue on his rampage, he noticed that Manager Frank shouted something in the video, but he could not hear what Frank was saying there.

The recording had been specially edited to remove the voice recorded in this section.

Boom!

A loud bursting noise could be heard, and a black shadow appeared from thin air. The speed was so fast that even the video could not capture its exact appearance.

The black shadow was like a ghost as it appeared behind the mutated subject. Its hands caught the rapidly flapping wings and fiercely tore them.

The mutant screamed in pain as he looked behind him, showing a face that was filled with horror as the Wings of Wind and Thunder were ripped from his back and blood spilled unceasingly from his wounds.

However, the black shadow had disappeared without a trace.

It had only been an instant from the moment the shadow appeared until it finished dealing with the mutant. The speed at which it was completed made it feel almost like an illusion.

The only proof that the shadow had appeared was the mutant twitching and laying on the ground.

Feng Lin’s expression suddenly became serious. The Giant Pharmaceutical Company had many secrets, and now there was also a hidden formidable existence.

Although he could not clearly see the appearance of the shadow, he could approximate the height of the shadow, which was about five meters tall. It was definitely not human.

The members of the R&D Department were like three-year-old kids in front of the shadow.

In the end, the mutant that had gone berserk was now completely defenseless.

…

The mutant, who had his wings ripped out by the shadow, was violently twitching on the ground. He was completely in pain as blood gushed out of the wounds on his back. He no longer had the slightest power to resist.

It was as if all his power had left when the wings were ripped out.

Everyone swarmed toward the mutant and tied him up. They then continued the experiment.

The data displayed also proved this point. The mutant’s data had fallen across the board and returned to that of an ordinary person. There was nothing special about the data.

Feng Lin was getting ready to continue watching, but the recording finished all of a sudden. At this step, it had abruptly stopped.

He realized that he had just watched the footage depicting the beginning of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s discovery. They had fed an ordinary person the ancient divine medicine which had been retrieved from a mythological ruin. Surprisingly, it could cause an ordinary person to become a gene cultivator.

Perhaps Giant Pharmaceutical Company had started researching on this topic because they realized there was potential for ordinary people to gain extraordinary abilities by consuming gene potions.

Feng Lin repeatedly watched the recording three times. He memorized the progress of the R&D Department from top to bottom.

After discovering that ancient divine medicine had such miraculous effects, the Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s R&D Department immediately began their research. They wanted to replicate the process using gene potions. However, none of them had succeeded.

They had an abundance of talent who put forward a variety of ideas, but none of them was successful.

After all, this was an ancient divine medicine from the time of myths and legends which was a long lost technology. It contained the secrets of ancient divine cultivation which was not easy for people to crack.

However, Feng Lin now understood the fear of Luke from the Mars Revolutionary Army.

Technology was feasible and the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had the original medicine as an example. If they were about to replicate it, then they would naturally be able to develop this ancient divine medicine.

Although it was difficult to realize now, it would be successful sooner or later.

If Giant Pharmaceutical Company had an ulterior motive, with their huge impact and profound mastery in gene potions creation technology, they could cause complete chaos within the entire solar system if they made an arbitrary move.

This was not something that Feng Lin was willing to see.

He was only here to become a genetic pharmacist. He did not want to be dragged into a vortex of conflict. If he was not careful for an instant, he could be swallowed up without recourse.

What should he do about this now?

Feng Lin pondered and suddenly a thought flickered in his mind.

If he took the lead in discovering this ancient medicine’s formula, would it mean that he could interfere with the research direction of the R&D Department, allowing the situation to fall under his control?

He was completely stirred by this thought.

However, for him to succeed in researching the technique, it would require him to study the ancient divine medicine. Only watching the research recording did not help his situation.

These research recordings were the experience of those who failed. Even watching more of them would not help him find the possibility for success.

What was there for him to pay attention to?

The next day, when he arrived at the R&D department, Feng Lin told team leader Aike about his intention.

Once Aike heard it, he was shocked. “What? You want to study the ancient divine medicine yourself?”

Due to the effects of Feng Lin’s brainwashing, Aike’s impression of Feng Lin was superb. However, when Feng Lin said that he had spent only one day to watch all the research recordings and wanted to study the ancient divine medicine himself, Aike was at disbelief.

No matter how talented he was, a newbie was still a newbie!

This ancient divine medicine was R&D Department’s greatest secret. It wasn’t something that could be seen just because he wanted to see it.

“Feng Lin, don’t bite off more than you can chew! You should take it one step at a time!” Even though Aike was upset, he still persuaded Feng Lin patiently.

Seeing this harsh and sulky person have such a good attitude toward himself, Feng Lin laughed within his heart. This was the marvelous power of brainwashing.

Through the hypnotism technique, he was able to change people’s views one step at a time. The effect of his technique was obvious.

Toward Aike’s implied rejection, Feng Lin stubbornly continued without backing down.

“Yes, team leader. I have already finished watching all the research recordings. However, I realized that there have been no breakthroughs with the research topic. Although the R&D Department is filled with talent—many of them are already professional genetic pharmacists—they still had not been successful in cracking the research topic. If I followed in their way of thinking, I would not be able to do any better with the research topic! That’s why I want to approach the topic from the ancient divine medicine. I may be able to discover some new ideas!”

He is still a genetic researcher but already wants to develop his own method and ideas? What kind of joke is this?

Aike’s instinct was ready to reject Feng Lin.

“Agree to it!” At this moment, a voice rang and interrupted Aike.

Aike turned his head around and noticed that Manager Frank was coming over.

“Manager, you mean…” He could not believe it.

“I think what Feng Lin was saying makes a lot of sense!” Manager Frank laughed as he implored, “You, bring him to the secluded lab!”

Aike was stunned. He did not expect Manager Frank to regard Feng Lin with such importance. No matter how good his impression of Feng Lin was; at this time, he would develop a sense of jealousy.

If a newbie were to make any contribution, wouldn’t he or she become an equal of Aike or even surpass him?

No matter how good his impression of Feng Lin was, facing people that threatened their status, he would still take extra precautions.

However, he did not show his discontent in front of the boss. Instead, he nodded and said, “Okay!”

“Follow me!” Aike said these words stiffly as he turned around and walked forward.

Toward Aike’s sudden cold attitude, Feng Lin felt strange.

Was his brainwashing ineffective now?

After thinking for a bit, he understood the reason. This was the fault of competitive gains.

This was an essential desire of men; even brainwashing could not change that.

He stopped worrying and followed along.

As he walked by, Manager Frank specifically patted his shoulder. “Feng Lin, do your best! I am very optimistic about your work! If you were able to crack the code to the secret of the ancient divine medicine, Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s reward will be beyond your imagination.”

Feng Lin nodded.

At this point, Aike had already reached the deepest corner of the R&D Department and spoke in a deep tone, “A.I., open the secluded lab!”

A red light shone on his body as mechanical noises could be heard in the air.

“Identity verified! Secluded lab is about to open!”

Feng Lin watched the metal wall in front of him move to the two sides, revealing a giant space.

This was a large laboratory built entirely of metal. The four walls had no gaps in it, and it was completely enclosed where even flies could not enter.

Feng Lin felt like his horizons had broadened.

The Giant Pharmaceutical Company had too many secrets. Without becoming a core staff, he would never be able to know how many trump cards the company had.

Feng Lin entered the lab and immediately saw the crystal ball in the center. The interior of the ball was a complete vacuum environment. In the middle of the vacuum, an ointment-like medicine could be seen floating about freely.
