If there isn’t an engraving path, the spiritual particles implanted into the body would explode instantly, and the release of energy particles would uncontrollably roam throughout the body.
Ordinary people’s bodies simply can’t withstand this power rampaging inside them.
With no supporting experimental equipment, the process of engraving is troublesome for Yu Ze.
Although the external perception ability allows him to see a microscopic view of the Spirit Plant essence, without the aid of mechanical arms to assist control, the first attempt to change the path using his consciousness feels very clumsy.
Accompanied by a clear sound, the main structure of the Moon Flower Essence he was holding is destroyed by the engraving knife, dissipating into green energy particles.
The initial attempt ends in failure.
But Yu Ze does not give up and decisively tries again.
After switching to the Extraction form, he takes out a Blood Light Lotus from the Space Bag and extracts a cluster of Blood Light Lotus Essence in the same manner.
Under the microscopic view, the interior of the Blood Light Lotus reveals a complex combination of light points, completely different from the construction of Moonlight Grass Essence, requiring a new path for the release of spiritual particles.
But this attempt also ends in failure.
After many subsequent failures, Yu Ze realizes a problem.
The Eagle-Headed Demon’s trait can help him open a microscopic view, even to slowly alter the Spirit Plant essence’s path through the projection of consciousness.
But the strength of a Level 1 Eagle-Headed Demon controlling consciousness is far from sufficient.
He needs to level up the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul to strengthen his spiritual power and the intensity of his consciousness.
"Let’s go, leave Newbie Village to level up."
Yu Ze, who had failed in his initial attempts, chooses to first enhance his strength before considering the gene modification experiment.
This process could also help him accumulate the sacrificial power needed for subsequent experiments.
With sufficient Sacrificial Power Reserve, he could consider not going out hunting anymore but obtaining sacrificial power profits by selling gene seeds.
With the help of the Doomsday Technology Guild, Yu Ze and his team members reach Level 8 through hunting Monsters.
Yu Ze, resurrected in Imperial Tomb Village, chooses to try again at making gene seeds.
The Level 8 Eagle-Headed Demon has the spiritual strength, spiritual power recovery speed, and consciousness intensity multiplied several times.
This gave Yu Ze the confidence to try again.
The attempt unexpectedly goes smoothly, and after spending an hour restructuring the Spirit Plant’s internal structure and planning a release path for spiritual particles, he successfully creates the first gene modification seed.
After structural recombination, the seed has a golden-red color and is the size of a thumb.
He tries to decode and read it, and the relevant information appears in Yu Ze’s mind.
Item Quality: Common Level 3.
Item Description: A personalized enhancement item created by the player "Genetic Front," made through the fusion and engraving of Moonlight Grass Essence and Empty Valley Grass Essence. Consuming it grants a continuous 1-hour enhancement state with spiritual particles, and upon completion of the enhancement process, one can receive a Body Refining experience bonus. Due to poor technique, consumption will cause continuous destructive damage to the body.
Seeing the words "poor technique" in the decoding introduction doesn’t make Yu Ze feel embarrassed.
Looking at the solidified enhancement seed in his hand, he decides to test the outcome himself.
He swallows the Spiritual Seed directly.
After a brief silence, veins bulge on Yu Ze’s face, turning visibly red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even with pain feedback dialed down to the lowest 10%, the intense pain still makes Yu Ze howl and writhe on the ground.
At the same time, game tips continuously pop up in his mind:
[Challenger Tips: Spiritual Seed enhancement modification received, Body Refining Experience +3.]
[Challenger Tips: Physique suffering from spiritual impact, sustaining continuous damage.]
At this rate, he would die before the enhancement process is complete.
Enduring the severe pain, Yu Ze decisively calls up the mall interface and purchases a Healing Potion, unscrewing the lid and downing it.
Immediately, two forces begin a cycle of destruction and repair within his body.
Throughout this, Yu Ze nearly passes out from pain several times, but he still manages to withstand it with strong willpower.
After an excruciating hour, Yu Ze has drunk a total of 9 bottles of Basic Healing Potion, each priced at 10 points of sacrificial power, to barely withstand the damage of the Spiritual Seed to his body.
He exhales a long breath and calls up the attribute panel.
[Challenger Name: Genetic Front]
Body Refining Level: 0 (318/10000)
Star Vein Inlay (Level: 2):
No.1 Embedding Position: Level 8 Eagle-Headed Demon (Trait: Resentful Chant)
No.2 Embedding Position: Level 1 Extraction (Trait: Extraction)
Main Form Bonus: All attributes +2.3 (Not reached Body Refining Level 1, no additional attribute inheritance)
From this enhancement, he has gained 318 points of Body Refining Experience.
He also obtained a Physical fitness enhancement effect of all attributes +2.3 in the human form.
But Yu Ze is not satisfied with this result.
The materials used in this enhancement were Level 2 Empty Valley Grass and Level 1 Moonlight Grass purchased from the mall, totaling 235 points of sacrificial power, combined with the consumption of 9 bottles of Basic Healing Potion during the enhancement, with a total cost of 325 sacrificial power.
But the Body Refining Experience gain is 318.
No matter how he calculates, he loses 17 points of sacrificial power.
This gene seed will not attract players to buy it at all; it would be more convenient to directly use sacrificial power to increase Body Refining Experience.
With no price advantage, gene seeds have no market.
Yu Ze realizes that he must find a way to adjust the release path of gene seeds to reduce the body damage from enhancement.
But the problem is that each Spirit Plant essence has a different arrangement of spiritual particles internally, and different Spirit Plants require different engraving paths for release. Combining two types of essence to achieve an effect greater than the sum of their parts requires a lot of time for permutation and combination research.
