93: Chapter 93 The Filthy Dragon Eyes, The Girl in the Bottle

"So this is the source of the mutation in Lu Qingran's brain."

Qin Feng stared directly into this defiled eye.

He felt the undisguised coldness and Killing Intent within the pupil.

His heart stirred slightly:

"It seems to possess the 'living' trait?"

In the field of mysticism, there was often a specific description:

A certain object or matter possessing the 'living' trait.

This meant the object had developed its own spiritual consciousness, or even rudimentary intelligence.

It knew how to think, harbored desires, contained emotions, and understood strategy.

This was a good thing.

Mystical objects with 'living' traits generally possessed incredible special abilities and effects.

But.

It was also a bad thing.

Possessing spiritual consciousness and derived intelligence—especially in an entity containing intense pollution—meant it was extremely dangerous and nearly impossible to control.

Even if controlled through forceful means, there was a high probability of side effects or even lethal backlash.

"This thing isn't harmless like the 'astral spirit bead'."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a demonic pill."

"With such dense pollution and defiled aura, I wonder how it should be handled?"

Qin Feng examined the eye.

He prodded it with the tip of his anatomy knife.

He wanted to test its temperament.

To see if any dangerous changes would occur.

Unexpectedly, the defiled eye simply rolled around on the Anatomy table.

Then...

It stared straight back at him.

Coldness and Killing Intent radiated from the pale gold pupil.

But...

That was the extent of it.

There were no other reactions or movements.

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

Although this eye dissected from Lu Qingran's brain looked troublesome—filled with dense pollution and possessing the 'living' trait, seemingly harboring some elusive risk—

However.

His observational skills were extremely keen.

Deep within the pale gold pupil of this eye... he clearly saw a trace of fear!

That's right.

Fear!

And it was fear of him!

"Why is it afraid of me?"

Qin Feng grew curious:

"Is it because of the demon god emblem on my body?"

"Or..."

"Is it because of the dragon pearl fused into my heart?"

That mysterious blood-colored dragon pearl came from the heart of a Dragon-type Behemoth.

In Qin Feng's view, the Dragon-type Behemoth heart found at the Qiangwei Honglian Modification Shop was far more pure and intense in terms of Bloodline concentration and Dragon-trait aura than this polluted dragon eye before him.

Therefore.

On Qin Feng's person.

Even without activating the dragon pearl's power.

There was more or less a hint of pure Dragon Might.

It was quite normal for this polluted, mutated dragon eye to feel fear.

As for the demon god emblem...

It contained a higher level of demon god power.

That went without saying.

"It seems this polluted dragon eye looks like a tough nut to crack, but it's actually a soft persimmon? Can I handle it however I want?"

Qin Feng rubbed his chin with his finger.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The knife in his hand.

His desire to perform Anatomy was surging.

This caused the eye on the table, which was pretending to be calm, to shudder slightly.

"Strange..."

"Strange..."

"Truly strange..."

Just then.

Xia Qingchuan muttered to himself on the side:

"This is a 'defiled dragon eye'. Back when I was doing Flesh Technology experiments, I used many of these pseudo 'Dragons Eyes' that contained some Dragon-type Behemoth power traits as Materials."

"Once stimulated, these pseudo 'Dragons Eyes' release strong pollution and filth. Besides exploding, there's a certain chance they turn into a 'defiled dragon eye', which has various dark and provocative uses."

"I originally thought the source of my daughter's brain mutation was this 'defiled dragon eye'."

"In fact, I wasn't wrong."

"But I never expected this 'defiled dragon eye' to actually develop spiritual consciousness and possess the 'living' trait. This is quite incredible."

"Why did this happen?"

Xia Qingchuan fell into deep thought.

He looked completely obsessed with science.

Even though Qin Feng called him several times.

He remained oblivious.

This left Qin Feng somewhat speechless.

Suddenly.

Xia Qingchuan's eyes flashed.

He seemed to have thought of something:

"Right!"

"Could the previous birth of the ether dragon essence be related to this mutated 'defiled dragon eye'?"

"If there's a connection, I just need to research it thoroughly and then replicate it. Perhaps we can mass-produce ether dragon essence!"

!!

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately perked up:

"Mr. Xia, are you sure you can mass-produce ether dragon essence?"

Currently, there was only one strand of ether dragon essence.

Once consumed.

It would be gone.

Moreover, Qin Feng had never tried using it. If the method was wrong and he couldn't bring out its full effects, he would have nowhere to go for regrets; he'd just have to swallow the bitter pill.

Furthermore.

A Martial Artist had so many Acupoints to refine. The energy in one strand of ether dragon essence probably wouldn't be enough. Even if it could upgrade them, how many could it upgrade?

But...

If there wasn't just one.

If there were many strands of ether dragon essence.

Then those worries would vanish entirely.

He could even.

Qin Feng could dare to hope.

To try and refine the legendary... Divine Aperture!

"Yes, as long as there is an experimental hypothesis, there is a possibility of it becoming reality."

Xia Qingchuan said excitedly, "Although I hold the authority of knowledge and science, I only hold 'known knowledge', not 'unknown knowledge'."

"This world has too many unknowns and possibilities."

"Exploring these unknowns and possibilities makes me excited and happy; it is my lifelong pursuit!"

"Young brother Qin Feng, wait a moment, let me research this..."

Before his voice even faded.

Xia Qingchuan was ready to roll up his sleeves and begin.

“Uh...”

Qin Feng looked at Lu Qingran's brain on the Anatomy table and couldn't help but hesitate:

"By the way... Mr. Xia, what should be done about your daughter's brain? The source of the mutation has been dissected out, but without the regenerative power of this 'defiled dragon eye', your daughter's brain will probably..."

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot about that."

Xia Qingchuan scratched his head sheepishly, "Then let's hurry and finish the proper business first."

Qin Feng: "..."

He could even forget this?

What happened to protecting his daughter at all costs?

Complaining silently.

Under Xia Qingchuan's guidance, Qin Feng.

Began to suture Lu Qingran's brain and prepare for the reconstruction of her body through high-end fleshpunk technology.

Qin Feng was still looking forward to seeing what kind of top-tier Flesh Modification prosthetic this father would reconstruct for his daughter.

But he never expected.

After using various cutting-edge equipment.

Xia Qingchuan actually had him make...

A bottle.

Then.

After adding various soil-like Materials into the bottle, he had Qin Feng bury Lu Qingran's brain inside.

Immediately after, Xia Qingchuan rolled up his sleeves again in a rush:

"Quick, quick, quick, young brother Qin Feng, let's continue researching that mutated 'defiled dragon eye' and strive to uncover the mystery of the ether dragon essence's birth as soon as possible!"

"???"

Qin Feng held the bottle containing Lu Qingran's brain.

His face was a complete picture of confusion.

Are you sure this is your biological daughter?

And not someone you got as a free gift with a phone plan?
