The Medallion novel Chapter 1143

"Since I'm here now, I don't plan on going back. I've decided to live in Crimson City," Shirley stated.

"Why?" Rocky asked, stunned by her decision.

"So that I can see you and curse you every day!" she exclaimed, seeping in anger. Revenge was the only thing on her mind at that moment, but she wasn't sure why her head was filled with that thought either. All she knew was that she didn't want Rocky to live a peaceful life.

"Fine. Do whatever you like." Rocky figured that she would stay for a while, and leave eventually after getting bored.

However, a few days later, Shirley was still around and soon joined the team of cultivation after being invited by the other women.

Since Rocky moved to the Crimson City, the reconstruction of the Genome Research Institute in the city progressed according to the blueprint he had devised. And outside the city, facilities were being built for raising wild spirit-manipulated beasts.

With Laney's assistance, they recruited many talented people from various empires. They were stationed in the Crimson City and began to receive professional training directly from Rocky.

A month later, with powerful financial support from the Lan Clan, five beast hospitals were established in each big city of the Holy Dragon Empire, including the Imperial City. Simultaneously, Rocky also trained the beast curers of the Lan Clan in basic operating skills so that the five hospitals could operate smoothly.

Along with the hospitals, the preliminary construction of the Genome Research Institute was also completed. With new and raw talents at his disposal in addition to the gene data he had already collected from the beast hospitals of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky began to lead new gene experiments. The experiments were based on his own research data from long ago, so there were no issues regarding that front.

Hoping to allot more time to gene research, Rocky passed the method of refining the spiritual crystals to Isis and the other women. They were stunned beyond words when they finally found out that Rocky could refine the spiritual crystals manually.

So now, besides cultivating alongside Rocky, the women also helped in hunting spirit-manipulated beasts and refining spiritual crystals whenever they had free time. Occasionally, they would venture into the areas of the spiritual race with him to catch supernatural beasts for experiments.

Amidst all this, Rocky still found time to nurture his spirit-manipulated beasts that produced treasures—the Dark Magic Insects, descendants of the Dark Heaven Insects and the Fire Rock Turtles. When the two new spirit-manipulated beasts were ready to produce treasures, they could assist the cultivation of the Divine Stage.

At the same time, he also began to experiment artificial reproduction between the treasure producing beasts and the ordinary spirit-manipulated beasts to see if they could produce a new type of treasure producing spirit-manipulated beasts.

However, after several unsuccessful attempts, he began to study their genomes in more detail. The difference between the treasure producing beasts and the ordinary beasts was the result of variance in their genomes. If he could find the exact reason for their different natures, he might be able to solve this issue.

Although he was passionate about gene research, the main reason why he carried out so many experiments was because he wanted to cure the deadly gene in Uriah's body. He had to hurry before it was too late.
