I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 16 The First Time in the Cultivation World... Gene Bank Open Source!

Bloodline Chronicle

[Subspecies: Blood Mosquito]

[Special Genetic Talents: Super Growth, Super Reproduction, Super Absorption]

This blood mosquito has not only lost its sharp proboscis and tough body, but even its wings have degenerated, making it a crawling mosquito. However, precisely because it has lost its "weapons," "armor," and ability to fly, the blood mosquito's body has become more plump. Coupled with its super growth and super absorption capabilities, the blood mosquito has become a walking meat storage container.

"Did you need something from me?"

"I want to see Senior Sister Qingli."

"What brings you to see Senior Sister?"

"I want to hand over a magical insect!"

"..." Yunxi looked at the ugly fleshy mosquito in Mengde's hand that could grow by eating mud, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. However, seeing Mengde's firm attitude, Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll ask. If Senior Sister agrees to see you, I will let you know."

And so, a month later, when Mengde had successfully switched to cultivating the "Spirit Control Technique" and his cultivation speed had improved, Yunxi visited him again and took Mengde to Golden Cloud Peak.

......

Halfway up Golden Cloud Peak, beneath the Golden Cloud Spirit Tree, Qing Li, still dressed in a bamboo hat and light veil, sat on a branch of the spirit tree, her red eyes calmly looking down at Meng De and Yun Xi, and said in an ethereal voice, "What brings you here?"

"Reporting to Senior Sister, disciple Meng De has a strange mortal insect he wishes to hand over." Meng De knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Speak." Compared to the blandness of their first meeting, Meng De clearly sensed that Qing Li's attitude had become much colder this time.

This is normal, though. As a nobody at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Qing Li's willingness to meet him is already a great honor.

"Reporting to Senior Sister, this insect is called Blood Mosquito. It was originally an ordinary mosquito near Blackwater Manor, but after many rounds of selection, it has become the Blood Mosquito with stable bloodline talent inheritance."

"This mosquito has a breeding cycle of three to five days, grows extremely fast, and is also very resilient. It can survive even by feeding on soil and vegetation and grow flesh and blood."

Meng De recounted his process of cultivating blood mosquitoes, half-truthfully and with embellishment: "...Initially, when I realized that the blood mosquitoes possessed a rare genetic talent, I captured other blood mosquitoes with the same talent and allowed them to reproduce, gradually amplifying that faint genetic talent...After the genetic talent traits stabilized, I intended to hand it over to my senior sister, to contribute my meager strength to Qingling Peak."

"If other senior brothers and sisters possess blood mosquito seedlings, they can reproduce on their own, serving as food and perhaps even developing stronger genetic talents!"

Meng De revealed his true purpose: to enable the other cultivators on Qingling Peak to jointly develop the stronger genetic talents of the Source Blood Mosquito!

Abbreviation: Open source database!

Mengde knew that the Source Blood Mosquitoes were temporarily out of control, so he understood that if others wanted to, they could simply extract a portion of the Source Blood Mosquitoes and realize how simple their breeding process was.

Qing Li was temporarily uninterested in this matter, simply feeding the Blood Mosquitoes all of them, leaving none for the insects. Once Qing Li realized what was happening, Meng De's business as a "Spirit Beast Mountain Insect Food Supplier" might be ruined.

Therefore, rather than being strapped for cash and having it discovered by others, Mengde felt it was better to take the initiative and reciprocate by directly "opening up" the source of the Blood Mosquitoes.

Meng De didn't believe other cultivators could perfectly control the Source Blood Mosquitoes, because the underlying genetic code of the Source Blood Mosquitoes was written that way, and Meng De was the first person with the highest authority. If anyone else wanted to modify Meng De's genetic authority, they would have to completely overhaul the Source Blood Mosquitoes' genes... And since you can overhaul genes, this method is no less than creating life; it's an unparalleled divine power, and they wouldn't even bother with Meng De's Source Blood Mosquitoes.

Therefore, when Mengde realized that he could not control the vast number of Source Blood Mosquitoes' activity range, he understood that it was only a matter of time before others obtained them.

However, Mengde did not object to others obtaining the Source Blood Mosquito. Why?

Firstly, the underlying genetic code of the Source Blood Mosquito was written by Mengde with his own blood. The Source Blood Mosquito has an innate affinity for Mengde, who hurt them the most, making it difficult for others to use the Source Blood Mosquito to attack Mengde.

Secondly, do you remember Mengde's Source Blood Gene Bank Project? In this project, the Source Blood mosquito, as the main body, can perfectly carry the special genetic talents of other subspecies of mosquitoes.

In other words, if other cultivators on Qingling Peak accidentally cultivate a new subspecies of flying mosquito, then Mengde could use his own source blood flying mosquito to seduce... no, to conduct technical exchanges, and ultimately inadvertently acquire a new genetic talent.

In this way, Mengde could ensure his own safety from being "punished for possessing a treasure," while also reaping the benefits at minimal cost.

And, to obtain the protection of Senior Sister Qingli, the person in charge of Qingling Peak.

"..." After Meng De finished explaining how he extracted special information from the genetic information of ordinary mosquitoes, and then continuously purified, optimized, and stabilized it, and finally cultivated super mosquitoes with stable genetic traits, Qing Li and Yun Xi remained silent for a long time.

Mengde's explanation was so detailed, so specific, that... they couldn't even understand it all. It contained so many biological concepts that they had never imagined.

Whether it's Qingli or Yunxi, their talents and intelligence are undoubtedly extraordinary. However, the biological gene system that Mengde has mastered is something they have never encountered before. No matter how intelligent they are, they will still be shocked by Mengde's rigorous and meticulous gene inheritance knowledge system!

"...You mean, you cultivated an ordinary mosquito into a...spirit insect?" Qing Li frowned slightly as she looked at the ugly blood mosquito in Meng De's hand, making a conclusion that she could understand based on her own worldview.

In Qingli's understanding, the degenerated blood mosquito in Mengde's hands was already considered a... weak spirit insect.

However, compared to other spiritual insects, the Blood Mosquito has not yet broken through the distinction between immortals and mortals, has not developed spiritual roots, and cannot absorb and transform spiritual energy, so it cannot be considered a spiritual insect.

However, the abilities possessed by the blood mosquito already possess the "weirdness" that a spirit insect should have.

"Hmm..." Meng De pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Qing Li and said, "That's one way to understand it."

"But I feel that the potential of these blood mosquitoes should not be limited to this. If they were cultivated by a great cultivator like Senior Sister, perhaps even more powerful talents could be developed..."

Meng De secretly encouraged him.

"..." Qingli looked at Mengde silently for a long time before finally sighing.

In other words...

The Qi Refining cultivator before me extracted a trace of spiritual blood from a mortal insect, then continuously activated it, ultimately restoring it to its former glory...

......

......

......

"...Speaking of the creature ranked number one on the list of strange insects, many people were initially dissatisfied, but in the end... it was taken over by a tiny mosquito..."
