Legend of the Mythological Genes

The goldthread spirit fell on all fours in fright, shivering incessantly.

“Damn it, I knew that those demons from yesterday were just here to scout! They took away many of our villagers, and we’ve lost contact with many of them like ginseng baby! This time around, we mustn’t let them have their way!” The tree demon village head was enraged as well.

“But that Flood Tiger was transformed from a mutated beast and has many demonic troops under him. They are vicious and aggressive. We aren’t a match for them at all!”

“We can only call out Old Ancestor!”

“Otherwise, we might not be able to save our village!”

…

The beast roars were filled with brutal intents, and the Hundred Grass Town was in a state of chaos. All of the demons appeared to be feeling uneasy.

Feng Lin was deep in thought. Although this Hundred Grass Town was independently situated in a land of paradise, they didn’t have a peaceful life either.

“No!” The village head decisively rejected everyone’s suggestion. “Old Ancestor is old and each time it fights, we’re depleting the rest of its limited life. Unless necessary, we mustn’t do it. This is probably the reason why the Flood Tiger has sent its subordinates to attack our village multiple times. It wants to wear down Old Ancestor’s lifespan completely and then take down the entire village in one swoop!”

“But without Old Ancestor, we won’t be their match!” An old woman who seemed to be transformed from vines walked out and said weakly.

“Calm down for now and use magical techniques to defend the village’s exterior. I’ll go speak to Old Ancestor before we discuss anything else!” The village head thought about it for a while before heading out in a rush.

Howl howl howl!

The beast roars rang out non-stop.

Feng Lin looked into the distance and saw black wave seething and sending up smoke and dust.

The many wild beasts were baring their fangs and charging over like a massive wave, wanting to drown the entire village.

Longevity Art!

In order to protect their homes, these demons started taking actions despite feeling terrified. Hints of green light scattered down.

Countless seeds rose from the ground, forming many vines that intertwined together and wrapping the entire village into a tight sphere without any openings.

The demonic beasts at the front were the closest, and they were immediately pierced by the pricks that were as sturdy as metal.

“Guys, attack! Today, we must massacre this annoying Hundred Grass Town!” A brutal howl rang out from the sky, and the demonic aura soared into the sky like a smoke signal.

Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed and he looked into the distance.

A burly figure with a height of three-meter stood at the top of the mountain. It had the head of a tiger and body of a human. Its body draped in scale armor, and a single horn grew out from the top of its head. Feng Lin had no idea what kind of demon this monstrous beast had transformed from. it was shrouded in an ominous aura, and its withered yellow eyes stared toward Hundred Grass Town with a great yearning. It had clearly felt that they would be able to take down this village of demons.

What a vicious monster!

Feng Lin sat at the table quietly, doing nothing but appreciating the primitive delicacies’ taste. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Demonic beasts and demonic spirits. Both of them were monsters, but one’s actual form was wild beasts while the other was plants. This was a battle between races.

Even if they had transformed into demons, it was impossible to resolve the feuds between enemies on the food chain.

These demonic spirits were all transformed from spiritual medicines, and in the eyes of demonic beasts, they were great nourishment and thus it was natural for them to be coveted.

Feng Lin was an outsider and he had no plans to interfere.

If the battle between both parties become too intense, he might be able to…

His eyes turned cold.

Pa pa pa!

Just then, a series of anxious footsteps suddenly rang out.

Feng Lin looked over to the source of the sound and saw that the tree demon village head had returned, holding onto a wooden plate that was covered by a piece of black cloth. He had no idea what item the village head was holding.

Upon seeing Feng Lin, the village head’s expression immediately turned into that of joy. He quickly walked up to Feng Lin and cupped his hands together, saying sincerely, “Honorable guest, please save our village this once!”

“Hmmm?” Feng Lin frowned. He hadn’t expected the village head to come back to plead for his help after making a trip out.

However, he wasn’t planning on interfering with this matter.

The demonic beasts’ army was approaching, and the village head wanted Feng Lin to risk his life even when there were no benefits to reap from getting involved? How could there possibly be such a good thing?

“Village head, you must be kidding. The number of demonic beasts is too big and it’s not something I can handle!” Feng Lin rejected calmly.

“Honorable guest, please rest assured! Although the Flood Tiger is a mutated beast that was born between a Flood Dragon and a tiger, it isn’t your match!” the village head said confidently.

“I haven’t fought against that demon king before. How do you know that it isn’t a match for me?” Feng Lin wondered where the village head got his confidence from.

“This was what the Old Ancestor said. The Old Ancestor has a profound mastery over destinies and can pry into heaven’s secrets. Therefore, what the Old Ancestor said definitely won’t be wrong!” The village head said, “I won’t let you do this for nothing! The Old Ancestor said that if you were to save our village this time around, you can choose any item from our village’s collection of ancient treasures!”

After saying that, it waved its hand and the black cloth was unveiled, revealing three ancient items. One of them was a green vine that was brimming with life. Even though it had been plucked off, it was still seething with vigor. Another one was a purple round gourd that was as sturdy as metal. The last one had the most unattractive appearance and was just a rusty copper coin. Its unique trait was its two sharp edges that came out from the sides like a pair of wings.

Each of them was seething with spiritual qi and appeared to be extraordinary.

Feng Lin was tempted and he asked, “Can I really choose any of them?”

“Yes!” the village head nodded and said.

Feng Lin was instantly tempted. He walked over and first picked up the purple gourd and knocked it with his fingers. A clanking sound rang out.

He sent in his will and could sense space inside that was the size of a house.

(This is a storage treasure!)

Feng Lin couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Storage treasures were very hard to come by, and they could store a myriad of items and were very convenient.

Until now, Feng Lin still hadn’t gotten his hands on one and he could only use the space in the furnace as storage. It was very troublesome.

Although this purple gourd was good, he would only make his decision after taking a look at the other two items.

In terms of appearance, the green vine was the best.

Feng Lin grabbed it in his hand and instantly felt strong vigor that could nourish and strengthen all lives.

If his guess wasn’t wrong, this vine seemed to be able to stimulate plants’ growth. It would be very useful for planting spiritual medicine.

(This effect isn’t bad.)

Feng Lin wanted to become an Alchemist, so he’d need a lot of spiritual medicines. With the vine, he would be able to plant spiritual medicine in large quantities and be self-sufficient, enjoying an endless supply of them.

(Hmm, this copper coin…)

At the sight of the last ancient treasure, Feng Lin immediately frowned.

This copper coin seemed to be covered in rust, and its spiritual qi was weakening. It seemed to have been severely damaged and was on the verge of breaking apart and losing all of its uses.

However, one mustn’t judge a book by its cover, and the same concept applied for treasures.

To be careful in case he were to miss out on a real treasure, Feng Lin still picked it up carefully and channeled his spirit force to check it from inside out.

Feng Lin had no idea what material the coin was made from. Although it looked very small, it weighed several hundred jins. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to lift it.

The moment he channeled his spirit force in, it was as if he had entered an independent world.

(It’s really a piece of treasure!)

Feng Lin was secretly pleased. Thankfully, he had not judged the treasure by its appearance. Otherwise, he’d have suffered a huge loss.

The space in this copper coin was unrivaled, extremely vast with no end in sight. It was also filled with streams of thin gray fog and emitted ancient primordial aura. When was it originated from?

Feng Lin’s gaze gleamed.

Could this probably be…

Xiantian spiritual treasure?
