Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1230 - 1220: Addicted to Soaking?

Yang Xiao had long anticipated that this potion wouldn’t be cheap, but he still hadn’t expected that a vat of potion would cost a billion crystal coins. No wonder the Royal Gold Medal Guards strictly limit their recruitment.

Wanyan Cuo glanced at Yang Xiao and coldly said:

"Others beg me to add potion, and I don’t even do it."

After speaking, he walked over to a distant staff member with a grim face, said a few words, and then went to a house inside the training ground to rest.

A moment later, a staff member came running with a small bucket of red ointment. They poured the ointment into the water vat and said to Yang Xiao:

"Young Master Yang, the Elder has instructed you to continue soaking for a while."

Yang Xiao nodded,

"Alright!"

The current situation was painful, and even if it cost him his life, he could only continue to soak.

Yang Xiao glanced at the staff member and casually asked:

"What’s the name of this red potion?"

"This red potion is called Flying Leopard Marrow Cleansing Paste."

"Ah, what about the black potion from before?"

"Flying Leopard Chasing God Liquid."

"Ah!"

Yang Xiao thought inwardly, it really has a cool name. How could such a magical potion simply be called red potion and black potion?

The staff member glanced at Yang Xiao and said:

"Young Master Yang, I’ve been serving here for over ten years and have never added two vats of potion for anyone; you’re the first."

"Ah, thank you."

Yang Xiao jumped into the vat, once again entering a hellish cultivation mode filled with the pain of a thousand needles piercing him. The pain distorted his face, causing it to twitch uncontrollably, and he let out a few low groans.

At the side, Wanyan He had almost completed his cultivation. He glanced at Yang Xiao and laughed heartily:

"Yang Xiao, you finally got your day, huh."

...

After the potion run, you can go back to rest.

Wanyan He said:

"Yang Xiao, the most crucial step in cultivating the Flying Leopard Divine Skill is the morning soaking."

"I read yesterday that there are other auxiliary cultivation methods?"

"Those auxiliary methods enhance Genetic Evolution on top of the soaking and the Flying Leopard Divine Skill Heart Method. You need to go to the Academy’s practice room for solitary cultivation,

just like at Flying Leopard Academy, it’s also a Particle Beam Field. Here, as a member of the Gold Medal Guard Team, you don’t have to pay anything. However, the Particle Beam Field is shared with other students from the Imperial College, so you have to go to the public cultivation field outside."

"Is soaking in the potion a daily requirement?"

"It depends on the individual’s physical condition. In principle, it’s required at least twice a week, and it’s mandatory on Monday mornings. Today happens to be Monday, so apart from those Gold Medal members on outside missions, most people have come."

"How many times a week do you soak in the potion?"

Wanyan He sighed and said:

"My Genetic Evolution Ability is limited; twice a week is my limit. The energy from today’s potion is still in my body and needs a few days to dissipate slowly. Otherwise, if you soak too quickly, your body can’t handle it. Genetic mutation could occur, leading to various strange illnesses, and severe cases could result in death. I have to return to the Imperial Palace this afternoon to handle the Empire’s administrative affairs, so I can’t accompany you, but I can join you for lunch."

After having lunch together in the Imperial College cafeteria, Wanyan He left the Imperial College.

Yang Xiao returned to his dormitory for a rest and went to the Particle Beam Cultivation Field in the afternoon.

In the evening, Yang Xiao began training his Life and Death Iteration Law, Shaolin Temple’s Yijin Scripture, and Wudang’s Heavenly Silkworm Technique. He also performed a set of Divine Mountain Sword Skill and Shaolin Bodhi Palm among other Cultivation Techniques.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiao ran to the cultivation field. However, he only saw about ten people there, seemingly some unfamiliar faces who hadn’t been present yesterday. Perhaps they were busy with outside duties yesterday and specifically came today to cultivate.

Yang Xiao walked up to the staff member who had prepared his potion yesterday and said:

"I want to continue cultivating today."

The staff member looked up and saw Yang Xiao, and said with a smile:

"Young Master Yang, why are you here today? You could rest for two days and then come for cultivation again."

Yang Xiao cleared his throat,

"Cough, I feel like I can continue again today."

The staff member hesitated and said:

"Young Master Yang, technically, there’s no rule against cultivating on consecutive days. However, based on my experience serving for over a decade, since you just started cultivating the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, moreover initially using a level five potion, your body might not tolerate it, so I’d suggest you rest for two days. If there are no issues with your body, it’s not too late to continue with cultivation later."

Yang Xiao scratched his head and patted his chest, saying:

"Look, I’m in great health, absolutely no problems."

Several members of the Gold Medal Guard Team nearby were middle-aged men, Warriors of the Imperial Court. Having attended Yang Xiao’s admission ceremony the day before, they were acquainted, and since Yang Xiao was also an honorary State Preceptor, many recognized him.

Two of them overheard the conversation and laughed:

"Junior Brother Yang, don’t overdo it. This Flying Leopard Chasing God Liquid shouldn’t be soaked in continuously; it’s life-threatening. I remember a good brother of mine ten years ago tried to progress too fast and soaked for three consecutive days, and on the third session, he exploded and died. This is no exaggeration."

"That’s right, Junior Brother Yang, you’re still young; you have a long way to go. You have to eat your meals one bite at a time and walk your path one step at a time. If you take too big a step, you could tear something, haha..."

Around ten people all burst out laughing.

They were all important officials of the Empire, and only within the Imperial College were their identities equal, as fellow brothers.

"What are you all laughing at?"

A faint voice came through, and the crowd fell silent immediately upon hearing it.

The Elder of the Cultivation Hall, Wanyan Cuo, cold-faced, walked over.

"Greetings, Elder!"

The crowd bowed in unison.

Wanyan Cuo coldly scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on Yang Xiao,

"Why are you here today? Didn’t Wanyan He tell you? You just started cultivating, and you started with a level five potion. But your Flying Leopard Divine Skill is still at the beginner level, not even completing the first stage, so you can only soak in potion once a week for now."

Yang Xiao was a bit stunned and said:

"Thanks for the Elder’s concern. I also feel that the Elder is looking out for me. But I believe I can continue cultivating; it should be fine. Didn’t you also mention,

seven parts talent, three parts persistence for cultivating the Flying Leopard Divine Skill? Maybe I’m the one with seven parts talent?

I think the current Flying Leopard Emperor and War General Wanyan Kang must have soaked more frequently than ordinary people back then?"

Everyone was stunned by Yang Xiao’s words, looking at him with a peculiar expression.

Elder Wanyan Cuo was also inwardly surprised.

Yang Xiao’s abnormal display yesterday had already made him uncomfortable, and he hadn’t been able to figure it out after thinking about it all night. He had also searched through many books in the library but couldn’t find out why Yang Xiao absorbed the red potion (Flying Leopard Marrow Cleansing Paste) faster than others.

Now this kid was making a fuss about continuing the soak early in the morning. Had he become addicted to it?

Wanyan Cuo wasn’t someone who liked to waste words. He stared at Yang Xiao for several seconds and said coldly:

"You can soak in the potion, but the consequences are your own responsibility."
