Super Gene Hunting Ground

Black Wood, do you know where Villa 68 is located?”

Black Wood scratched his head awkwardly and said:

”To be honest, I don’t really know where Villa 68 is. Every natural spring is irregularly scattered around the foot of Wuji Mountain, and the villas are built according to the spring’s location. There’s really no clear path to each one, many villas are even situated deep in the wilderness, impossible to find without guidance.”

”So does that mean we can’t find the villa?”

”Not really, there is a location map for the villas right here.”

As Black Wood spoke, he led Yang Xiao to a map indicator board under the dormitory management building, where they found a special location map for the villas.

Yang Xiao took a quick glance, and the map showed all 68 villas, scattered with no pattern, some hidden deep in the valleys.

”68 is right here.”

Fan Chen pointed to a mark labeled ”68” on the map.

Villa 68 is at the end of the valley, near a small stream.

Yang Xiao noted the general direction and then, together with Black Wood and the others, they flew toward Villa 68.

The four of them flew at a leisurely pace, stopping now and then along the way to enjoy the scenery within the valley.

The map markings were quite clear, making the villa easy to find, especially since each villa had a golden Defense Light Screen.

This Defense Light Screen stands tens of meters high, with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The golden glow is easy to spot whether in nighttime or daytime, from mid-air.

Flying along the way, Yang Xiao noticed the approximate locations of a dozen or so villas.

Based on the map’s indications, Yang Xiao and the others flew to the end of the valley, where they found a small stream.

”There it is!”

Black Wood pointed to the golden glow of the Defense Light Screen in the distance.

The four rushed over immediately.

From above, the villa’s location was excellent, backed by the valley, with a clear stream flowing by about fifty meters in front. Surrounding trees were lush, birds singing, flowers blooming, the scenery captivating, the air fresh.

Fan Chen took a deep breath, smiled and remarked:

”Why do I feel like the air here has Genetic Evolution Energy?”

Black Wood laughed and said:

”You’re not wrong, the air and water throughout Wuji Academy are very unique, hard to find anywhere else, indeed containing some Genetic Evolution Energy,

That’s why Wuji Academy is established here on Wuji Island.”

The four descended, and Yang Xiao took out an orange Jade Token, swiping it at the entrance mechanism of the Defense Light Screen, and the door opened with a ”swish.”

The four entered in succession, and Yang Xiao closed the door.

The villa was a semicircular structure, roughly comprising four rooms, and within the semicircle lay a natural spring emitting white mist.

Black Wood gazed at the spring, eyes shining with admiration, and exclaimed:

”I spent over twenty years cultivating at the Wuji Academy, never had the chance to enjoy the hot spring. Boss, can you fulfill my wish today and let me soak in the hot spring?”

Yang Xiao laughed and replied:

”The hot spring is right there, soak as you please. Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai, you two can enjoy it too. I bet no hot spring can elevate you to the Emperor Level Realm?

If this hot spring had such miraculous effects, why not mass-produce Emperor Level Extraordinary Evolvers?”

Granted permission by Yang Xiao, Black Wood stripped off his outerwear and shoes, jumping directly into a specially designed pool beside the hot spring.

The spring was only the size of a bowl, water gurgling out and flowing into a purpose-built pool about two meters away, roughly two meters in diameter.

The spring water was crystal clear, carrying a faint green tint.

The hot spring pool was about a meter deep. Once Black Wood jumped in, he immediately crouched down to immerse everything but his head into the water.

Black Wood felt a warm energy permeating his body through his pores, wandering through his flesh, bones, and limbs, an indescribably comfortable sensation.

He naturally closed his eyes, appearing to savor the experience.

Seeing this, Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai felt curious and quickly removed their outerwear and shoes, jumping into the water.

The pool wasn’t large, just enough for the three of them.

As Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai entered the spring water, they felt the same sensation as Black Wood, but even more intensely.

Since Black Wood was at the Emperor Level Realm and Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai were only at the Empire Level Advanced realm, the same Evolution Ability entering their bodies was felt much more strongly by Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai.

All three closed their eyes, relishing the endless enjoyment and bliss.

Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned and said:

”Is it really that good?”

”Boss, just jump in and try it, it’s unbelievably wonderful, no surprise so many people fight over villas, costing a hundred thousand Crystal Disks a year, totally worth it!”

”Even a million a year would be worth it.”

Yang Xiao said,

”Black Wood, I’m puzzled, even if the hot spring’s effects are good, why not build the pool larger, allowing more people to enjoy it and benefit?”

Black Wood paused, suddenly recalled something, and laughed:

”Boss, there’s something I forgot to tell you, but don’t be mad when you hear it.”

”What is it?”

”I’ve heard this hot spring has a peculiarity.”

”What peculiarity?”

”Of course, this is just hearsay, not sure if it’s accurate,”

”Don’t beat around the bush, just say it.”

”When I was at Wuji Academy, I heard from classmates that this hot spring pool was built using special materials, including a small Array,

The spring water passing through the hot spring pool would have its Evolution Ability absorbed and stored by the pool’s unique function, like filtering,

Water flowing out of the pool would be akin to ordinary water with the Evolution Energy already filtered out,

Right now, as we soak in the hot spring pool, the Evolution Ability continually permeates our bodies,

However,”

Black Wood paused at this point.

”However, what?”

”I’ve heard that the energy the pool gathers over a month can be absorbed by cultivators in just a few hours. For the next absorption to be effective, it’d take around a month.”

Yang Xiao was astonished and asked,

”Are you saying the energy gathered in this pool can be absorbed in just a few hours, and next time one must wait a month?”

”Yes, that’s roughly what it means. I’m not sure of the specifics. I used to want a free soak in someone else’s hot spring, but no one ever agreed, no matter how good our relationship,

So, there’s an unwritten rule at Wuji Academy: Never ask others to borrow or share their hot spring.”

Just then, Fan Chen exclaimed:

”Hey, I feel the energy isn’t as strong now as when I first jumped in.”

Wanyan Bai added:

”Yeah, I feel the same way.”
