Chapter 167: Convinced

Zhu Ganglie Gene!

Upon seeing this brand new genetic formula, Feng Lin’s earlier conjecture was completely validated.

Wasn’t Zhu Ganglie the name of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) before he took on Tripitaka as a master?

Zhu Bajie was the reincarnation of Marshal Heavenly Canopy of the heavenly courts. He controlled over a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and could be considered a major god in the three realms.

It was because of his dalliance with Chang`er, the goddess of the moon, that he was punished to be reborn as a pig.

But even so, Zhu Bajie slowly began to train as a demon. He was proficient in the heavenly dipper thirty-six transformations and was skilled in using a nine-tooth rake as his weapon. He was only inferior to the Great Sage Equal to Heavens.

In the beginning, Feng Lin also didn’t expect this fatty who was mocked by so many people to actually have such immense potential. After all, if he could smoothly continue on Pigsy’s path to godhood, in addition to having an illustrious clan to be his backing, this fatty’s future would surely be boundlessly bright.

Upon thinking of this, Feng Lin’s heart involuntarily stirred.

The Great Sage Equal To Heavens was a monkey, while Pigsy was a pig!

A monkey and pig grouping up, how comical was this?

Could it be that in the future, their group would be expanded to include Tripitaka and two others?

Feng Lin felt like recruiting this fatty to his side more and more,

Just this fatty’s background alone was already worth it for Feng Lin to expend his efforts to try and recruit him. Leaving aside the fatty’s potential, if this fatty became a member of the Mythological Genes Association, he could instantly increase its foundation. By borrowing the power of the fatty’s background, Feng Lin would be able to cause the Mythological Genes Association to spread its influence through interstellar space more easily.

Although this was a good idea, how should he accomplish this? It was worth thinking about it.

Firstly, as Lord Hongjun of the Mythological Genes Association, he mustn’t appear too impatient when he recruited people. If he overdid things, there might be a contrary effect from the one he wanted and some of his lies might be exposed.

In any case, if one obtained some things too easily, they would never cherish it.

Hence, it was best if Feng Lin could make the fatty voluntarily wished to join the association. After that, he would make sure the fatty underwent many difficult tests to let him know it wasn’t so easy to join it.

Feng Lin’s thoughts spun rapidly in his mind as an idea formed. He activated his microchip and entered the mythological forum.

The projection of Zhu Tiangang, the fatty, instantly appeared. Feng Lin who was in the form of Hongjun also glanced over.

“Master Hongjun, I sincerely wish to purchase the successive evolutionary genetic formula for the Big Belly Gene. We can discuss this slowly as star coins are nothing to me. If you don’t want star coins, I can use other valuable cultivation resources to exchange for the knowledge. How about a planet’s core? A vacuum crystal? Negentropy water?… You can have anything you want!” After Feng Lin ignored him for two days, Fatty’s heart was already numb. He hurriedly stated his request alongside with how much he was willing to pay.

To him, these cultivation resources might be valuable. But if he couldn’t cultivate, wouldn’t all these be completely useless?

As long as he could continue to cultivate, given his methods and background, it wasn’t a difficult thing for him to obtain new cultivation resources.

The only thing difficult was to get the genetic pathway for the successive evolutionary genes.

It wasn’t easy for him to become a cultivator, how would he not be reluctant to have his progress halted here?

If he wished to continue cultivating, Feng Lin would be like the last blade of life-saving grass to him. He was willing to pay any price!

Truly, this fatty was filthy rich.

Every cultivation item listed by the fatty would cause Feng Lin’s heart to pound violently. These were incomparably precious cultivation resources. One wouldn’t even be able to buy them if they had star coins.

But in order to maintain Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s ethereal aura, Feng Lin’s expression remained calm as he gave a profound laugh. He then spoke in a manner that was neither slow nor quick, “I do know the future genetic pathway for your genes. I can even tell you that if you continue down this path, your future would be boundlessly bright. This was definitely a mythological pathway that would lead you to be a paragon of god or devil. You would become a unique entity with a boundless future.”

“Paragon of god or devil?” Fatty was extremely joyful as he called out in excitement.

Because he was insulted by many calling him trash for too long, he had lost all confidence in himself. Initially, he only wanted to be able to cultivate.

He didn’t expect that the path he was currently walking on would be so awesome!

This Big Belly Gene was just a mere mid-grade primeval gene. It wasn’t that powerful, but he didn’t really mind it.

At that time, just by depending on his background as well as an influx of support from unending cultivation resources, even if he was on the most ordinary mythological path, he would still be able to display his potential to the absolute limits as he continued to walk further.

But now that he suddenly knew the path he was on was actually of a paragon god or devil’s mythological pathway, he was dumbfounded.

It was like a person who went digging for gold found out that an entire mountain of gold had appeared before his eyes.

Happiness came too suddenly, and his heart couldn’t take it!

Fatty panted heavily. The rolls of fat on his belly started to undulate like waves of the ocean.

However, he was only happy for a short while before Feng Lin’s next sentence completely woke him up. Feng Lin’s words were like a bowl of cold water raining down on his head.

“How can the true dao be transmitted casually? This paragon mythological path isn’t something that can be measured by money! I cannot impart the knowledge to you.” Feng Lin spoke in a profound manner. He continued to act extremely carefree while he felt as though he was bleeding in his heart.

That was 100 million star coins!

“Then what can I do so you would be willing to transmit the information to me?” The fatty was extremely anxious.

“How can I transmit the dao to someone who is not fated? If you wish to know the complete mythological dao path, you have to prove your ability and become someone fated with me, joining the Mythological Gene Association.” Feng Lin revealed his killer technique as he continued to act mysterious. He wouldn’t rest until this fatty was convinced.

“This…” Fatty started to hesitate.

Mythological Gene Association?

Which hidden power was this? Could it be some evil cults that were hiding in interstellar space?

Although he was rich, he wasn’t a fool.

As he was born into an illustrious clan, even if he was trash that couldn’t cultivate, he was sure to have received the best education, and his astuteness would surely far surpass ordinary people.

Now that someone suddenly asked him to join a mysterious organization, how could he not feel that something was wrong? Hence, the fatty was hesitating now.

Feng Lin didn’t worry at all. He had the thing the fatty wanted the most. He wasn’t afraid that the fatty would disagree.

“Since you have no intentions to join, this means that you are not a fated person. Let’s forget everything.” Feng Lin calmly spoke. He pretended that he was about to go offline, loosening the reins only to grasp them better.

As expected, the fatty instantly panicked when he heard that.

But this was the only chance for him to gain the successive genetic formulas, how could he miss this opportunity?

“Master Hongjun, at the very least you have to tell me the general situation of this Mythological Gene Association, right? What should I do before I can join?” Fatty helplessly spoke. The fatty flesh on his face was scrunched together, and his large flabby ears dangled downward. A worried expression could be seen on his face.

Feng Lin instantly knew what he was thinking with a single glance. He calmly continued, “Don’t worry, our Mythological Genes Association isn’t an evil cult. It’s just a cultivation group where members would provide mutual help to each other. It is stationed in the virtual universe, and the members are all extremely powerful cultivators. For some more obscure knowledge, they would only be circulated within the Mythological Genes Association!”

“So this is the case?” The fatty heaved a sigh of relief after he heard that. It didn’t seem to be too bad. It was good as long as it was not an evil cult.

Also, this was an organization stationed in the virtual universe. There was no need to use one’s real identity. This was really easy to handle.

“Fine, I will join.” The fatty decided and promised.

However, how could Feng Lin easily agree now? “We have our own rules in the Mythological Genes Association and wouldn’t recruit people casually. If you wish to join, you have to undergo many tests and trials. Are you sure you will be able to do so?”

The more Feng Lin said it like this, the keener the fatty was.

The rules were so harsh; this organization must be an extremely secretive one with very deep foundations. If he could join it, there would surely be endless benefits for him.

“Master Hongjun, I’ve already decided. Please tell me how to join, I can accept any tests.” Fatty spoke with a voice that could sever iron.

Settled!

Feng Lin had a smile on his face, knowing that this fatty had been completely convinced by him.

However, what the test would be exactly, Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t divulge it. If not, wouldn’t things be too easy?

If the fatty didn’t undergo a test filled with immense difficulty, how would he cherish the chance to join the Mythological Genes Association?

“Give me your virtual id.” Feng Lin smiled instead of answering the fatty’s question.

Fatty was startled for a moment but soon transmitted his virtual id to Feng Lin obediently.

“After you enter the virtual universe, I will transmit you a strand of Grandmist White Qi. At that time, you can use it to enter the Mythological Genes Association for one day and gain the opportunity to take the test. Only by passing the test would you be considered an official member of the association.” Feng Lin disappeared right after speaking, going offline with no hesitation.

Fatty was startled by the sudden departure. He stood at his original ground and called out in shock, “Ai, Master Hongjun, don’t leave!”
