Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe stood at the entrance of the cave, surrounded by waist-high wild grass and some low shrubs.

”Yang Xiao, this is the cultivation field 101 that you wanted to find. Are you sure you want to enter?”

Xing Zhe looked at Yang Xiao, also puzzled why Yang Xiao insisted on coming to cultivation field 101.

Yang Xiao took a couple of steps towards the entrance, glanced around, and took out a flashlight from his space ring.

”Senior Brother Xing Zhe, I want to go inside and take a look. Not sure if you will come with me or wait at the entrance?”

”If you enter, of course, I’ll go in with you.”

Xing Zhe also took out a similar flashlight-like tool from his space ring, and a bright beam of light penetrated into the cave entrance.

Since this cultivation field is rarely used by anyone now, it’s in a semi-abandoned state, and the management staff had long been withdrawn.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe walked into the cultivation field pit and saw some lighting fixtures hanging on the walls.

”Senior Brother Xing Zhe, is there still electricity for the lighting in the cultivation field?”

”There should be. It uses a small nuclear generator. As long as the circuit system is intact, starting the generator can provide lighting.”

”Then let’s find the nuclear generator.”

They found the nuclear generator group of the cultivation field in a separate cave not far inside the mountain.

Xing Zhe pressed the button of the nuclear generator, and there was a slight hum. In the blink of an eye, the cave’s lights turned on, emitting bright light.

”Not bad, with lights, things will go smoothly.”

Yang Xiao was a bit excited.

Scanning the cave of the cultivation field, within fifty meters of the entrance, there was a hundred-meter wide square cave, with a narrowing passage inside.

Yang Xiao walked to the passage, and with the help of the passage’s lights, he could see it was a sloped pit passage extending down at a 45-degree angle, with no end in sight, estimated to be one to two hundred meters long.

The two walked along the sloped pit passage into the cave, after about two hundred meters, they entered a vast pit cultivation field.

Here, Yang Xiao felt a strong genetic evolution energy.

Yang Xiao had only been to cultivation field number 1, a level 1 cultivation field, whose genetic evolution energy was much weaker compared to this level 7 field.

”Brother Xing Zhe, you’ve been to a level 9 cultivation field, compared to here, is the genetic evolution energy stronger there?”

Xing Zhe paused, closed his eyes slightly, and ran the evolution technique briefly.

Moments later, he opened his eyes, looking surprised.

”Strange, the genetic evolution energy here, although not as powerful as a level 9 field, is much denser than a level 7 field, close to level 8 evolution energy.”

”Oh? Let’s keep going further inside to see what the situation is.”

”Okay.”

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe continued walking deeper into the cultivation field cave.

The overall slope of this cultivation field is inclined, but the slope is gentle, not noticeable in short distances.

The two continued for over a hundred meters, the passage becoming increasingly narrow.

Finally, they reached the end, finding no other passage.

Yang Xiao ran Wuji Academy’s evolution technique, immediately feeling a surge of genetic evolution energy pouring into his body.

This was Yang Xiao’s first time absorbing genetic evolution energy in a level 7 field, feeling very shocked.

Compared to using genetic potions on Witch Star to enhance his genetic evolution realm, the genetic evolution energy from a cultivation field was continuous.

On the side, Xing Zhe wasn’t as thrilled as Yang Xiao, after all, he normally cultivated in a level 9 cultivation field where the genetic evolution energy was stronger than here.

Yang Xiao, like a thirsty person in the desert finding an oasis, greedily absorbed the evolution energy in the cultivation field pit.

Xing Zhe stood beside Yang Xiao for a while, then reminded:

”Yang Xiao, we’ve been in the cave for almost an hour. Shouldn’t we head back? The academy has several level 7 cultivation fields. You can train there, you’d just have to pay a bit. I assume you’re not short on money, right?”

Yang Xiao ceased the evolution technique, stood up, and laughed:

”I’m a poor man, how could I not be short on money? Brother Xing Zhe, are you going to pay for me since your family has a mine?”

Xing Zhe: ”...”

”Alright then, as long as you have the nerve to ask, I’ll cover your cultivation field expenses.”

The two laughed heartily.

”Brother Yang, we should head back.”

Yang Xiao came only to take a preliminary look at what was going on with cultivation field 101. Short-term, he couldn’t determine if there was anything special about it.

However, he believed that Teacher Zhai Kang wouldn’t have told him to take a look at cultivation field 101 without reason.

”Alright, let’s head back. I was just curious, wanting to see what differences there are between this wilderness cultivation field and the ones in Wuji Academy. Looking at it now, they’re almost the same, except here it’s free.”

Yang Xiao suddenly paused, and asked:

”Brother Xing Zhe, since cultivation field 101 is in an abandoned stage but still has abundant genetic evolution energy, why not organize some intermediate academy students to train here, charging them fees? It would be a profitable business.”

Xing Zhe laughed, pointed at Yang Xiao, and said:

”Brother Yang, you’re really quite the moneymaker. This idea has long been considered but is unworkable,

cultivation field 101 ultimately belongs to Wuji Academy. The academy doesn’t allow anyone to profit from these fields. They prefer to leave them abandoned, allowing interested and capable students to train here independently, but not for profit.”

”Oh, why does the academy have such a rule?”

”The reason is simple, these wilderness cultivation fields are surrounded by hordes of demon beasts. Those who can break through the demon beast barrier to train here naturally have higher genetic evolution levels,

Wuji Academy uses these semi-abandoned cultivation fields as a kind of wilderness survival reward. If you can overcome difficulties to train here, it’s a free reward.”

”Are all wilderness cultivation fields free?”

”Haha, you’re dreaming. Level 8 and 9 fields are offered at eight times the price to be open to the public, whereas levels under 7 have parts that are free, some that charge. Those within fifty kilometers of the academy have a 30% discount fee, and the further fields, surrounded by more demon beasts, are free.”

”Why doesn’t anyone come to cultivation field 101 for free training?”

”This place is a bit remote, generally, people aren’t willing to come. There are two level 7 fields about 50 kilometers from the academy, with low fees, safe, and have food supplies, so most go there.”

”I see!”

Yang Xiao learned a lot about the training situation through his chat with Xing Zhe.

As the two exited the cave, Xing Zhe suddenly stopped, looked at Yang Xiao, with a knowingly amused expression:

”Brother Yang, I know why you wanted to come to cultivation field 101?”

”?”

”Did you hear some mysterious rumors about cultivation field 101?”
