Su Jinxiu and her sister Su Huamei were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Little Carp and Gugu were playing ball in the living room.
Idle, Liu Nanfeng took out the lust pill.
Countless halos emanated from his eyes, forming concentric circles in the air. Liu Nanfeng was becoming increasingly proficient in analysis.
Lust: The embodiment of lust, it grants you a pair of perpetual kidney engines, ensuring insatiable desire in matters of sensuality, but also leading to irrationality driven by lust.
Liu Nanfeng wanted to analyze the pill's composition to see if he could remove its negative effects.
In Liu Nanfeng's eyes, the lust pill contained a large amount of highly compressed spiritual energy, brimming with vitality. Furthermore, it contained a wealth of information.
This included the pill's origin, refinement duration, refinement temperature, kidney strengthening effects, lust threshold, and more.
Liu Nanfeng did not find any information related to becoming irrational due to lust, which made him a little puzzled.
Since the information provided by Guanshanhai should be accurate, why was there no data on this aspect?
The only thing remotely related might be the lust threshold. Perhaps the pill itself didn't cause irrationality, but rather, after consumption, the lust threshold reached an extremely high level, disrupting the body's balance. Desires would surge, leading to impulsive actions and foolish mistakes.
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made.
Therefore, if he could remove the lust threshold information from the pill, he could consume it to enhance himself.
However, this was not easy. Strengthening the kidneys and the lust threshold were interdependent, two sides of the same coin. If the lust threshold were removed, the kidney-strengthening effect would essentially be nullified, rendering the pill useless.
Just as Liu Nanfeng was in a quandary, a little head suddenly popped up beside the table. Liu Nanfeng looked over; it was indeed Little Carp.
She clutched the edge of the table, stood on her tiptoes, and stretched her head out over the tabletop. Looking at the pill, she asked curiously, "Big Brother, what is this? Is it delicious?"
"It's not delicious, not at all," Liu Nanfeng quickly took the pill into his hand. It was not something to be eaten carelessly, especially not by children.
But Little Carp looked at him suspiciously.
If it wasn't delicious, why did he put it away so quickly? It must be very delicious.
"It's really not delicious. Didn't you eat one before?" Liu Nanfeng said, feeling a little speechless.
"The color is different," Little Carp's reason was very valid.
"But the taste is the same, both are not delicious, and this is not for children."
"Then who is it for? Adults?"
Little Carp transformed into a thousand whys, her face full of curiosity. But her large, watery eyes made it impossible to get angry at her.
"Yes, only adults can eat it," Liu Nanfeng said, going along with her.
Little Carp thought for a moment, then opened the small lotus pouch on her wrist and took out a piece of gold. She placed it on the table next to Liu Nanfeng.
She said generously, "Then please keep it for me. I'll eat it when I grow up."
Liu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, then with a mix of amusement and helplessness, he pinched her chubby little cheek and said, "I think you don't have the genes of a Kun, but the genes of a Taotie."
"What Taotie genes?" Su Jinxiu came out of the kitchen with a dish, just in time to hear this.
"I mean, Little Carp doesn't have the genes of a Kun, but the genes of a Taotie," Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
"Kun?" Su Jinxiu was very surprised to hear this.
The Kun, as an ancient fierce beast, was not only incredibly vast but also terrifyingly powerful.
"Yes, Kun. Little Carp not only has the genes of a Kun in her body but also genes of dragons, Wenyao, Suis, Anli, and so on. In short, it's very mixed."
Su Jinxiu had heard of dragons and Wenyao, but she had never heard of Suis or Anli.
"Is such a mixture good or bad?" Su Jinxiu didn't understand these things but assumed that a mixture would be bad.
However, Liu Nanfeng unexpectedly shook his head.
"Neither good nor bad. In fact, it's not just Little Carp; human genes are also very complex. However, during human evolution, these genes have completely lost their activity and function. But if we can activate these gene activities, we can possess some ancestral abilities, just like what we call atavism."
"Pseudogenes?" Su Jinxiu felt that Liu Nanfeng's explanation sounded familiar. In a flash, she remembered.
Pseudogenes were first discovered by a Japanese scientist. The human body contains thousands of inactive genes accumulated over time, and these genes come from our ancestors, passed down generation after generation.
In reality, many of these inactive genes are very useful. For example, gene fragments that allow the human body to synthesize Vitamin C. Our ancestors did not need to rely on fruits and vegetables for Vitamin C; they could even synthesize it themselves. However, this ability was purged during evolution.
There are also genes that can break down uric acid in the human body and improve obesity, which were lost during evolution and became pseudogenes, existing within the human body.
"Yes, pseudogenes, it's just a different term. So, as long as I can activate these pseudogenes in Little Carp's body and make them active again, she can move closer to and transform into her ancestors."
"Such an ability is very powerful," Su Jinxiu put down the serving plate in her hand, her face full of astonishment.
For humans, such an ability was not much, but for demons, it was an absolutely powerful ability.
Humans have evolved over generations since ancient times, and their physical qualities are generally not vastly different. However, for demons, present-day monsters are far inferior to the great demons of ancient times.
Humans are evolving, and demons are also evolving, but not all evolution is good.
It can only be said that survival of the fittest. In ancient times, the world's spiritual energy was abundant, so the monsters born were naturally extremely powerful, possessing various divine abilities. It was not an exaggeration to say they could overturn mountains and seas.
But as the world's spiritual energy gradually depleted, to adapt to survival and not be overly reliant on spiritual energy, demons also became much weaker. This was essentially a regression.
"What about me?" Su Jinxiu asked curiously.
"Actually, you are no longer human. You should belong to the Alaka Yin tribe."
"Alaka Yin tribe?"
Su Jinxiu was a bit bewildered. She had never heard of this race. She suddenly remembered that when Liu Nanfeng first saw her after using the Three Lives Book, he had said she was part of the Alaka Yin tribe.
"The Alaka Yin tribe is a very ancient race. They believe that death is the beginning of life, the flesh returns to nature, the bones return to themselves, achieving the unity of man and nature, returning from death to life..."
Su Jinxiu's face showed a strange expression, as what Liu Nanfeng was saying was precisely a part of the profound meaning of the [White Bone Sitting and Forgetting Sutra].
As they were talking, Su Huamei ran out of the kitchen, her face full of curiosity.
"What about me, what about me?"
Clearly, Su Huamei had heard their conversation.
