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

Chapter 5: Blood Mosquitoes in Unrestricted Evolution State!

Normally, mosquito larvae remain in the larval stage for five to seven days before entering the pupal stage.

However, after consuming the corpses of their brothers and sisters, those primordial blood larvae began to pupate on the surface of the water in just about three days.

"..." In order to prevent the twenty-odd first-generation blood mosquitoes from being wiped out due to a moment of negligence, Mengde specially made a sealed wooden box when they pupated, and put them all inside except for the mesh screen that allowed them to breathe.

The pupation time of mosquito larvae is very short, usually two to three days. However, Mengde's batch of source blood mosquito larvae began to emerge one after another on the afternoon of the second day, flying off the water and clinging to the inner wall of Mengde's wooden box.

Before Mengde could even open the wooden box, all the male mosquitoes inside had died from exhaustion and fallen into the water, leaving only ten thirsty second-generation female mosquitoes alive.

"...There really can't be the slightest oversight." Meng De looked at the last ten second-generation female mosquitoes in the wooden box, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Then he took out a knife, cut his finger, squeezed out a small bowl of blood and put it in. Only then did Meng De close the wooden box again, his face slightly pale.

The previous generations of mosquitoes were fed with their own blood, which allowed them to have their genetic code engraved in their genetic makeup. This can be considered Mengde's last resort.

After absorbing Mengde's blood, the second-generation female mosquito quickly entered a reproductive state, laying thousands of eggs the next day. Then, the female mosquito exhausted her energy and died.

Inside Blackwater Village, Mengde stood in front of the water vat, looking at the thousands of third-generation insect eggs inside. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to interfere and silently waited for them to hatch.

A week later, as the wood-type spirit stone in Mengde's hand turned to ashes, a faint vortex of energy surged within Mengde's body. Instantly, his ears twitched slightly, and the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings hundreds of meters away entered his ears. A glint of light flashed in the depths of his deep eyes, and the texture of the leaves falling in the breeze in the distance was clearly visible to him.

Qi Refining Level 5, Breakthrough!

"Even this final step... still took half a month..." Meng De sighed slightly as he felt the increasingly powerful spiritual energy within his body.

This year, Mengde is twenty-two years old. When he was twelve, a passing immortal master in the village discovered that he had spiritual roots, so he was sent to Spirit Beast Mountain to do odd jobs. He has been doing this for ten years.

Reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining in ten years... it's neither fast nor slow... for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, Meng De's cultivation speed is quite average.

Bang bang... bang bang...

Inside the room, Meng De got up and stretched. Amidst a series of cracking sounds, Meng De looked at the blue stone water tank not far away, which was about to breed its fourth generation of mosquitoes.

Because the third generation of mosquitoes had a large number of surviving, the eggs in the bluestone water tank were densely packed... Even Meng De, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, felt somewhat dazzled by the sight.

At least 100,000 insect eggs are likely in this bluestone water tank... The genetic fragments of the source blood mosquitoes have already mutated, and their reproductive capabilities have been enhanced.

However, in Meng De's eyes, this was just an appetizer... Having experience raising super mosquitoes in his previous life, he knew that it wouldn't be long before these mosquitoes would begin to surpass... species limitations.

"Most of the mosquitoes will be drawn to this blue stone water tank by my blood to lay their eggs... but a very few seem to have escaped..." Meng De noticed that some third-generation mosquitoes had escaped, but he didn't care as much as he had in his previous life, because without human intervention, it would be almost impossible for third-generation mosquitoes to survive in this perilous world of cultivation.

Of course, most importantly, in his previous life, as a human geneticist, Mengde was responsible for all of humanity and couldn't allow super mosquitoes with the X gene sequence to leave the laboratory. But here... Mengde was barely able to protect himself, let alone think about things he couldn't possibly be responsible for.

Furthermore, this world has super powerful figures... Without human intervention, the chances of the Source Blood Mosquito evolving into a Demon Insect are extremely small.

"The Spirit Control Technique, a low-level flying boat, and the Spirit Rain Sword Technique..." Meng De, who had temporarily put aside his mosquito breeding business, took out two books and a small boat sealed with a talisman from his storage bag.

"The 'Spirit Gathering Technique' given by the Miscellaneous Affairs Office is only a Qi Refining Realm technique. As an introductory technique for Spirit Beast Mountain, Spirit Beast Mountain is very generous, directly imparting the entire technique... It contains all the content from the first to the ninth level of Qi Refining." Meng De looked at the three items in front of him and pondered for a moment.

In this world of cultivation, nine is the ultimate number. After reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, one has the opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm... However, most people fail to seize this opportunity. After failing to break through, they will enter the eleventh level of Qi Refining. If they fail again at the eleventh level, they will enter the twelfth level... and so on until the thirteenth level. But things rarely happen more than three times. If one fails to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining... it almost certainly leads to a qi deviation, a violent surge of spiritual energy within the body, and death by explosion.

Therefore, most cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining Realm only contain the cultivation content for the ninth level of Qi Refining, with the rest being 'additional content'.

"The Spirit Rain Sword Technique, this is the first offensive spell I've encountered since entering Spirit Beast Mountain... no, not all of it is offensive..." Meng De quickly glanced through the table of contents of the Spirit Rain Sword Technique and then discovered that this spell was modified from the auxiliary spell Spirit Rain Technique.

The "Spirit Rain Technique" is a required skill for any servant in the herb garden, and Mengde happens to know it.

"If one masters the 'Spirit Rain Technique,' cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort?" Looking at the sentence left by the author of the "Spirit Rain Sword Technique," Meng De understood.

"It took me half a month just to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, so I can slow down my study of the Spirit Rain Sword Technique a bit." He doesn't have much personal time left, and he needs to use that time for more important things.

"Switching to the Spirit Control Technique will result in a period of weakness, and I cannot guarantee that I can convert all the spiritual energy in my body into the spiritual energy of the new technique within two months..." Although the Spirit Control Technique and the Spirit Rain Sword Technique were very attractive to Meng De, Meng De knew that what he should do most now was to refine the low-level flying boat that Senior Sister Yunxi had given him—the Azure Bee Boat.

The Green Bee Boat has a unique shape, resembling a large, light blue bumblebee, round and plump, with a kind of inexplicable cuteness.

"This Azure Bee Boat was probably crafted from the remains of the Azure Spirit Master's spirit bee, which is why it became an essential initial flying boat for every Azure Spirit Peak disciple during important events."

"The weapon refiner of Qingling Peak must be quite an interesting person..." Meng De looked at the round Qingfeng Boat in his hand, a rare smile appearing on his face. He then put away his smile, concentrated his mind, and sat cross-legged to refine the Qingfeng Boat in his hand.

And this refining process took two months.
