66 Gene Micro-manipulation (2/2)
It seemed that if he wished to increase the effects of the Adrenaline Potion, he could start from the dragonblood flower's nectar.
Feng Lin put his thoughts into action immediately and started experimenting.
The original formula called for 30 milliliters of dragonblood flower's nectar. Feng Lin gave it some thought and first attempted to increase the amount to 35 milliliters. After the gene potion was formulated successfully, its color was of a brighter red compared to before.
He drank it down in one gulp, and an even more scorching heat flowed into his body. Feng Lin once again experienced the feeling of having his nerves stimulated.
He unexpectedly discovered that this stimulating feeling was more intense than how it had been previously. Despite so, the feeling only lingered on the surface of his body, and it was hard for it to penetrate deep into his body and stimulate his genes.
When the medicinal effect disappeared, Feng Lin was puffing hard and was unable to summon any strength.
Genetic potential -4%
The medicinal effect lasted for six seconds.
Although the amount of dragonblood flower's nectar had been increased, its effect had been reduced by a lot. Moreover, the duration of the medicinal effects was also reduced to six seconds.
This attempt to improve the formula had undoubtedly failed.
However, Feng Lin felt that his idea to increase the amount of dragonblood flower's nectar wasn't wrong. This meant that there was some other problem.
He recalled genetic pharmacists' theories. Each gene potion was an entity. It wasn't a case of individual medicinal ingredients taking effect but was an integration of all sorts of medicinal ingredients. They needed to complement each other to be able to produce amazing effects.
There was the differentiation of the main and supporting ingredients in gene potions.
The main ingredient had the crucial effect while the supporting ones supported the main ingredient to unleash its medicinal effects fully.
The dragonblood flower's nectar was one of the main ingredients for the Adrenaline Potion, and its supporting ingredient was the waterjade powder.
That's right!
He should add more waterjade powder to adjust the dragonblood flower's stimulating effect. The losoto solution had the effect of diluting dragonblood flower's nectar, and thus its amount should be reduced.
At the thought of this, Feng Lin immediately went ahead to make the changes. He increased the amount of waterjade powder from 15 grams to 20 grams and reduced the amount of losoto solution to 90 milliliters.
Feng Lin drank the potion, and the familiar scorching energy once again entered his body violently. This time around, although the level of stimulation to the gene had increased by a lot, it was too much. The stimulating feeling was too intense, and his entire body was aching as if he was pierced by needles.
If this was the case for Feng Lin, then ordinary people wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
Genetic potential -7%.
The medicinal effect lasted for 9.5 seconds.
Feng Lin looked at the duration of the medicinal effect. Although it increased a little, it was still insufficient.
The stimulant caused by the dragonblood flower's nectar was too strong and needed to be suppressed. The losoto solution's amount needed to be increased, as he had reduced it by too much earlier.
Moreover, he sensed that there were a few medicinal herbs that didn't integrate well. He increased the amount of catalytic cream. This was a catalyst and could stimulate the integration of the medicinal effects.
Feng Lin came up with a new formula: Dragonblood flower 35 milliliters, waterjade powder 17 grams, losoto solution 95 milliliters, catalytic cream 12 grams... Everything else remained constant.
He once again started formulating the gene potion, coming up with a new version that was a faint red color. It was clear and emitted light, with a light fragrance.
This strange fragrance was clearly a sign that the medicinal effects had completely integrated.
Feng Lin had a feeling that the gene potion's medicinal effect might be different this time around.
He drank it down in one go, and the scorching potion became very mild and gentle. The stimulating feeling was greatly reduced, but its effects weren't lowered. Instead, there was now a feeling that it was like the spring's breeze and drizzle, moisturizing the land.
His genes were like the bamboo shoots after a spring rain, obtaining great nourishment and wanting to sprout out from the ground.
Feng Lin immersed in that feeling and only got back to his senses after very long.
Genetic potential -9%, the duration of the medicinal effect lasted for 12 seconds.
Although more genetic potential was deducted, Feng Lin felt happy.
The increase in the duration of the medicinal effects represented that the formula had been successfully improved.
Even though Feng Lin had always been mature and calm, he could not help but feel proud.
He felt that he had discovered a new technique to improve gene potions. This was something that only he was capable of using.
This technique was called...
Gene Micro-manipulation!
