Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Late at night, Wang Sen finally returned from the river behind the government office.

As he climbed over the wall, he was surprised to find that the interior compound, which had been a mess, had been mostly repaired.

The debris from the buildings that Li Changguo had destroyed had been cleaned up, and nearly half of the collapsed houses had been rebuilt.

Most of these houses did not yet have doors or windows, there was hardly any furniture inside, and they lacked the decorative beams and painted rafters, garden rockeries of the past, but they were barely habitable.

The main house and the rooms on either side had been better restored and looked almost the same as before, with all the furniture still brand new.

Lin Rui was currently in the main house, helping by Blood Blade Ji's side, mixing various medicinal powders and applying them to some talismans he had made before.

"It was the Eastern Prefectural Deputy," Lin Rui said with a slight smile, as he applied the powder, "This person is quite trustworthy. He went back and immediately dispatched two teams of Government Officials and several carpenters and masons. Wen Tailai also called a group of people, and they were busy here for nearly an hour."

The people from the Tianshen Star were not only tall and robust but also practiced martial arts, so building houses for them was relatively easy.

As for building materials, there was no need to fuss; they simply took what was needed directly from the government office's storeroom.

This was due to the material tax system of the Great Song, where if people couldn't pay taxes in silver, they could use various kinds of materials instead.

"So that's it!"

At these words, Wang Sen's expression cleared, and he then placed a large parcel in front of Lin Rui with a wry smile, "I've brought back everything. I've checked it, and both the goods and the amount match. But you would never guess where their store is. I wandered around the city for over two hours—it was quite a search!"

Lin Rui began to open the parcel, intrigued, "Where? It's not in a coffin shop again, is it?"

He then waved his hand and said, "Speak freely! As long as there are no others within twenty steps inside the inner courtyard, there's no need to worry about safety."

He took the opportunity of the internal government office's rebuilding to set up an Array there, embedding it within the walls of these houses.

Even if a sixth realm expert came now, it would be very difficult to eavesdrop.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sen relaxed, thinking this was excellent. He could relax his spiritual power a bit when he went back home.

He accepted the cup of tea Ji Xueying handed him and guzzled it down, then said with a bitter smile, "It's in the Changping Warehouse of Wang City, under two of the grain storage units that have been hollowed out."

Lin Rui was momentarily speechless.

Changping Warehouse was set up by the Great Song court to regulate grain prices, store emergency grain, and supply official and civilian needs.

The key was that the Changping Warehouse of Wang City was not far behind the prefectural government office.

This was truly a case of not seeing what was right under one's nose; no wonder the Xie Agency's branch in Wang City had not changed for 12 years.

He then looked at the packages that contained hermetically sealed syringes.

Lin Rui first took out four of them and placed them in front of Ji Xueying.

"This black syringe contains 'Skysuit' model 5, a growable subdermal nanotech armor. You will see how I inject it directly—"

Lin Rui concisely introduced the functions of the subdermal nanotech armor while he took another 'Skysuit' model 5 and injected himself, "See! Just like this, directly into the forearm. This is the highest-end model of federal subdermal nanotech armor.

It can not only absorb the ether metals inside the host's body, enhancing its own structure, but upgrading it in the future is also simple, just buy the corresponding nanotech armor boosters. However, currently, the federation has only researched up to type eight, corresponding to eighth realm experts."

Lin Rui then pointed at the three blue syringes, "These are your 'Genetic Enhancement Agents.' One hour after you inject the 'Skysuit' model 5, you follow this order, one injection after another."

Ji Xueying looked puzzled, "Genetic Enhancement Agent? What does that mean?"

"How should I explain? Our federal biologists believe that the reason you demon creatures are powerful is because some of your genes, under external stimuli, mutate to a structure similar to those high-level Martial Cultivators. However, when looking at your entire genetic chain, it is incomplete, not only flawed but also unstable," Lin Rui explained with a smile.

"Thus, if we can supplement the part of the genes you lack, it could substantially increase your power. We had limited time this time, so the research team I hired only initially integrated some of the obvious flaws in your genes. But theoretically, this should enhance your overall strength by twenty to thirty percent."

However, after he explained for a long time, Ji Xueying still couldn't understand and looked completely perplexed.

Lin Rui could only give up and shook his head slightly, "You can think of genes as the deep structure of our flesh and blood; our so-called bloodline powers actually also originate from genes—never mind, I'll explain it to you later.

Just follow the method I told you and inject these serums; the effect of the supplementation will last three to five days, and the complete enhancement could possibly take even longer."

Ji Xueying nodded solemnly and tucked the three syringes into her sleeve.

"Next are the strengthening agents."

Lin Rui then took out two syringes, one blue and one red, "These are Type 3 spiritual power enhancers and Type 3 mutant enhancers, both tailored for your genetic modification. Pay attention! Earlier was supplementation, now it's enhancement. You must wait for your supplementation agents to be fully released before using these,

Our federal bioscientists, after hundreds of years of research, have found certain special genetic structures that can enhance our physical strength and spiritual power. You can use each of these agents once a month, and I'll give you more next month."

Finally, this golden one, the most expensive of all the injections, is called 'Steel Bone Enhancer.' It can let a demon like you directly awaken a bloodline talent called 'Steel Bone,' significantly enhancing your skeletal strength and your power."

Unfortunately, this was an accidental product of the federal bioscientists' research on demons, ineffective on mutants.

Ji Xueying's eyes lit up, and she cradled the 'Steel Bone Enhancer' in her arms.

She thought, is this the gift her master is giving her? She really liked it.

As a Blood Blade Ji, the stronger her strength, the better.

However, next, she saw Lin Rui take out a pill and place it in front of her, "This is a limb restoration agent, capable of repairing human limbs. I had it specially made in the shape of a Tianji Star pill. You can swallow it directly. You can use the station to send it to your mother, do you like this gift?"

Ji Xueying was slightly moved, gazing steadily at Lin Rui.

Her eyes began to redden slightly.

Her mother's fingers, chopped off by Zhu Lingshi, had always been a knot in her heart, and she hadn't expected her master to notice it too.

Ji Xueying thought to herself that she had been quite unfortunate in life, but eventually things had turned for the better, meeting her current master was indeed the greatest fortune of her life.

Lin Rui sensed a strong throbbing coming from the Ruyi Concord Knot, which actually made him feel a bit uneasy.

"No need to be like this, this limb restoration agent is very cheap on our side, even when used by people from Tianji Star, it only costs 500,000 federal credits, equivalent to 500 Silver Taels. We can earn it back after subduing two demons together in the future."

Lin Rui then took out the last seven syringes from inside his belt.

These were all his own, totaling six Type 3 mutant bloodline enhancers and one blood training agent.

Lin Rui had only used the spiritual power enhancer and the physical strength enhancer ten days ago, and he had to wait another twenty days before using them again.

However, there was no timing restriction on the mutant bloodline enhancers; as long as his spirit and will could endure, he could inject them at any time.

Lin Rui was quite confident in his spiritual and will power.

Lin Rui planned to use these enhancers to awaken mutations like 'Blood Core Fury Sun,' along with his Thunder Blood, Flame Blood, and so on, continuing injections until awakening occurred.

As for the blood training agent, this thing could enhance his blood training progress by 10% at once. Lin Rui planned to use it during the most challenging segment of his blood training phase, to achieve a breakthrough with the help of this agent.

Lin Rui directly injected a mutant bloodline enhancer into his neck, then, bearing the itch and pain, asked, "How do you feel about the current situation in the city? Is the demonic atmosphere really as severe as the Prefectural Chief and Deputy Chief say?"

"There are quite a few Martial Cultivators in the city, but none dare to cause trouble. There is also no curfew, so it seems the Prefectural Governor and his team should be able to maintain control." Wang Sen frowned, "However, both the Prefectural Governor and Deputy went out once tonight, which shows that the demons are indeed rampant and required their personal intervention."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui's expression relaxed, glad that the situation in the city was stable. He could now focus his energies on the tasks entrusted to him by Zhuang Mingyue.

At that moment, Wang Sen recalled an odd occurrence, "Speaking of which! When I went to the Mutant Management Bureau outpost earlier, I saw someone there offering to buy silver. It was strange—they were offering 1400 federal credits for one Silver Tael and insisted on the local exchange of silver. Odd, isn't it?"

"Really? Lin Rui began to look forward to the money Li Changguo was supposed to send over, not wanting to miss such a good opportunity to make a profit."
