I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 29: Blood Mosquitoes Evolved by Absorbing DNA from Spirit Blood! [New Book, Please Read!]

"I just don't know if the spirit-level mosquitoes on Golden Cloud Peak were there before, or... appeared recently."

Looking in the direction Xiong Jun left, Meng De couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought. The mosquito that Xiong Jun found so annoying must not be an ordinary mosquito, because ordinary mosquitoes cannot get close to the body of a level two demon beast like Xiong Jun.

If Qingli were to evolve into a spirit-level flying mosquito... this stirred up some complex emotions in Mengde's heart.

Although Mengde had considered this possibility, he still felt a bit complicated when he actually discovered that high-level cultivators could cultivate source blood mosquitoes faster than he could.

However, Meng De quickly regained his senses, looked at the three bottles of pills in his hand, and then walked into the Blackwater Manor.

The speed at which Qingli cultivated the Source Blood Mosquitoes was in line with Mengde's expectations. Although he was somewhat dazed when he first realized this, Mengde quickly returned to rationality and realized that the fastest way for the Source Blood Mosquitoes to advance was to have others help cultivate them.

Anyone can master the Source Blood Mosquito, a bio-weapon specially modified for cultivation, but only Meng De has the primary authority over this bio-weapon.

"The fact that Senior Sister Qingli was able to cultivate a Source Blood Flying Mosquito at the Spirit Insect level within three months actually proves one thing: the distance between Source Blood Flying Mosquitoes and Spirit Mosquitoes at this stage is not as far as I had imagined."

After regaining his confidence, Mengde returned to his simple research room in Blackwater Manor, took out the "Source Blood Record", glanced at the "Semi-Spirit Insect Level" Crimson Flame Mosquito on it, and then released the Crimson Flame Mosquito, which was in a resting state, from the insect room and began to feed it spirit beast blood and spirit herbal liquid.

With the nourishment of the blood of a first-level spirit beast, Mengde discovered that the breeding cycle of the Crimson Flame Mosquito was greatly shortened, and it could carry out a gene iteration every two days.

However, Mengde soon discovered that some of the Red Flame Mosquitoes had undergone a certain degree of degeneration in their flame genes, while the genetic traits of a certain group of Red Flame Mosquitoes were becoming increasingly stable.

"...The blood of spirit beasts... also contains a portion of genetic material..." Meng De quickly realized the problem; the blood of the Fire Serpent was more suitable for the Crimson Flame Mosquito.

"If that's the case... it's a bit scary..." In the dark insect chamber, Meng De looked at the Crimson Flame Larva surviving in the boiling water in the tank with a complicated expression.

In modern medicine, white blood cells in the blood contain genetic material, and their nuclei carry the complete genome of the organism.

But he had never heard of mosquitoes passing on their genome from their blood to their offspring through blood-sucking... Even the cold-resistant mosquitoes that Meng De had spent years developing in his previous life, which were practically biological weapons, did not exhibit this phenomenon...

Wait a minute… Meng De was startled. He suddenly realized something: the Source Blood Mosquitoes in the cultivation world, due to the high-energy environment, had a much higher and faster iteration efficiency, averaging ten times that of his previous research…

The source blood mosquito in Mengde's hands has been iterating for almost a year. Judging from the iteration progress, Mengde's source blood mosquito gene iteration process has long surpassed the research of several years in his previous life!

"In other words... if no one intervenes and those source blood mosquitoes escape from the lab, they might evolve into... a superpower of 'gene hunting' within ten years..." Meng De's eyes flickered. He was still somewhat uncertain and couldn't be sure.

However, in order to verify his conjecture, Mengde re-selected the best individuals from the Crimson Flame Mosquitoes and established a separate experimental group to supply them with the blood of the Fire Serpent.

Meanwhile, based on the attributes of the five existing spirit beasts, Mengde divided the Source Blood Mosquitoes into five experimental groups. The Fire Serpent Spirit Blood was specially supplied to the Crimson Flame Mosquitoes, while the other groups were bred using Source Blood Mosquitoes.

If it's truly because the biological mother needs to use all her energy to nurture offspring, then the genetic material in the blood is very likely to be efficiently recycled during this process, becoming part of the offspring's genes...

Although this world is a world of cultivation, the basic physical laws are the same, and the basic knowledge of modern medicine can still be directly applied.

In Meng De's view, high-level cultivators and high-level demonic beasts can become different, transcending the definitions of the mortal world. However, the genetic inheritance system still exists within the bodies of lower-level life forms.

Breeding and selection is a tedious and lengthy process. The blood of the five spirit beasts cannot be collected in large quantities. Therefore, the blood of the spirit beasts is collected and fed to the five experimental groups every three generations, about a week apart, to stabilize the genetic traits again.

Mengde's life then settled into a fixed routine of feeding spirit beasts, collecting spirit blood, feeding source blood mosquitoes, and taking pills for cultivation. At the same time, Mengde would also take time to study the knowledge in "Introduction to Talismans".

"In just one month, four times the spiritual blood has been strengthened..." In just one month, Meng De discovered that the five experimental groups he used as control groups had begun to show different changes.

The source blood mosquitoes cultivated using the spirit blood of the Heavenly Ice Fox are beginning to fade in color, and patterns similar to those of the Heavenly Ice Fox are starting to appear on their bodies...

The group of source blood mosquitoes that collected the blood of the Earth Fiend Bear began to show a yellowish tinge in their body color and a significant change in their physical strength...

The group of blood-source mosquitoes that absorbed the Ironwood Monkey's spiritual blood showed no obvious characteristics yet, but Mengde was certain that changes would occur. Sure enough, after a series of experiments, Mengde discovered that the group of blood-source mosquitoes that absorbed the Ironwood Monkey's spiritual blood had begun to develop a fondness for feeding on tree sap...

The Blood Mosquitoes in the Dark Silver Giant Wolf group showed a tendency to have reduced flight noise and sharper, more pointed mandibles...

The Crimson Flame Mosquitoes, which Mengde focused on cultivating, have begun to show faint signs of spirituality in the new generation thanks to Mengde's massive investment of resources... no, it should be an extremely weak kind of 'qi'... the qi within essence, qi, and spirit!

A single red flame mosquito cannot sense this "qi," but when a large number of red flame mosquitoes gather together to form a swarm of flying mosquitoes, Meng De suddenly realizes what kind of changes have occurred in these red flying mosquitoes that are close to him.

"It's actually possible... to absorb the blood of spirit beasts and recycle the genetic material from the blood to the next generation..." In the dark insect chamber of Blackwater Manor, Meng De looked up at the faint light flickering in mid-air. It wasn't a firefly, but a new generation of Crimson Flame Mosquitoes hovering in the air.

"At the current rate, if it continues to evolve, within two months, the Crimson Flame Mosquito will select gene fragments that absorb spiritual energy from the Fire Serpent's spiritual blood and fuse them... ultimately becoming a true... spiritual insect."

"If... I could see the spirit mosquitoes cultivated by Qingli..." In the darkness, the divine light in the depths of Mengde's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Meng De's talent in the Dao of Talismans was not particularly outstanding, but after absorbing the basic knowledge of the Dao of Talismans, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and a 'Blood Dao Secret Talisman' that could not be verified for the time being was generated.

The effect of this "Blood Path Secret Talisman" is simple: it attracts spirit-level source blood mosquitoes to itself!
