The house was his, but after he left the Baiyu Group, the house had been sold by the nanny, Ji Chunfu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Ding Jie’s nod, how could Ji Chunfu have sold his house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this woman had been working for Ding Jie all along, and had also been keeping an eye on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he really had been too stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he had exhausted his life’s energy in his previous life, with almost all his income poured into raising his cultivation base, yet his cultivation still couldn't improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent two hundred years, only to remain a Level 4 Gene Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, he had also used anti-toxin genes, but he likely hadn't neutralized the poison, nor had he discovered its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that the poison had remained in his body for too long, constantly seeping in until it had long since become a part of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, when his cultivation couldn't rise, he had always attributed it to his own trash-tier aptitude, unable to improve even with resources piled upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when he no longer had the ability to purchase gene agents, he went to learn various genetic knowledge himself to produce his own gene agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were any other possibility, who would want to waste so much time in a laboratory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood: it turned out he had been poisoned with an unknown chronic toxin, not because his aptitude was too poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ji Chunfu’s ability, it was absolutely impossible for her to obtain such a poison; this poison must have been given by Ding Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he had been working hard to improve his strength and avoiding others' schemes, so he hadn't had time to think about this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected this woman to be hiding so deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was free, he would go and deal with these two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating his food, living in his house, and taking the salary his old man gave, yet biting the hand that fed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the poison in his body was removed, Ding Huan cultivated for an entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the night passed, Ding Huan opened his eyes, his entire being feeling refreshed and spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when circulating the *Luo Shi Scripture*, there was always an indescribable feeling—the feeling that even though the circulation of the heavenly cycle was going well, it would suddenly stutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although entering meditation was easy, it seemed he could never let his entire body and mind thoroughly merge into the circulation of the heavenly cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this poison was gone, after cultivating the *Luo Shi Scripture*, Ding Huan felt the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if it was an illusion, but cultivating for one night yesterday had brought more improvement than cultivating for a week before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gene Dao is promising, Ding Huan thought, clenching his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he would build his abilities step by step; when he leaves Earth in the future, he, Ding Huan, will be the one in charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was extracting the injury recovery gene from the Hexagonal Fire Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the experience of extracting genes from the Golden-Faced Coarse-Tailed Ape, Ding Huan was even more adept this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, he extracted a recovery gene that could fuse with his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan did not intend to use this gene agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was that he had developed a genetic ability belonging to his own body's attributes, using the alien skill gene as a template.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't this simple method of making a gene agent and then fusing it to become his own gene chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second reason was that he still wanted to go find the Two-Horned Fire Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly found the Two-Horned Fire Lizard, he could use the same method he used to create the anti-toxin gene to turn the injury recovery gene into one of his own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan sighed; if he were still on the Changyi Continent, he would have fused with this gene 100% immediately after creating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he had been like a headless fly in order to improve his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he encountered a gene, he would fuse it; as long as he encountered a good martial arts technique, he would cultivate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No planning, no mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never stopped for a moment in his life...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was that not only was his poisoning problem not solved, he didn't even know it existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation was even more of a mess, all tangled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he was over two hundred years old, he was only a Level 4 Gene Cultivator with no room for progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood that even if he fused with more alien genes, he likely wouldn't have been able to cross into a Level 5 Gene Cultivator in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent his whole life crazily improving his strength, never having a single day of peace, and in the end, he was still hunted down and killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate allowed him to start over; he pioneered his own unique gene fusion method, turning alien gene skills into his own ability attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the correct way to start cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the anti-toxin gene fused into his body, Ding Huan couldn't feel at all that he had fused with a new gene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no longer an extraction and fusion of the Golden-Faced Coarse-Tailed Ape's anti-toxin gene, but an anti-toxin ability that his own attributes possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he circulated the *Luo Shi Scripture* and his cultivation base improved, this anti-toxin ability should improve along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely different from the path of alien gene fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gene fusion only lets you possess a similar gene skill, and this gene skill remains at the level it was when you fused it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, even if your strength reaches an extremely powerful level, this gene skill might still remain at the level it was when you fused it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Gene Foundation Establishment powerhouse whose anti-toxin gene remains at the level of a Level 1 gene beast would absolutely hold back their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This innovation and progress made Ding Huan feel great, and it also opened his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he weren't a Gene Cultivator, but a cultivator who had spiritual roots from the start, could he now use this gene to open up new meridians?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, it should be spiritual channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the knowledge he obtained from the scroll in his mind, in the era with spiritual roots and spiritual energy, cultivators cultivated by circulating through spiritual channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it's spiritual channels or meridians, if he could open up a separate one with the anti-toxin gene, wouldn't that give a cultivator a natural ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were truly possible, it would mean that all things eventually point to the same place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guess was also correct: spiritual roots are also a type of gene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the methods and processes used in between are different; this is what they call \"all roads lead to Rome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, if he meets a cultivator who cultivates with pure spiritual roots, he could persuade them to try it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ding Huan went to greet Geng Qianxing, Geng Qianxing and three students were practicing basic long fist in the school's martial arts gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Ding Huan was going to Puhai first, Fang Chong and the others all wanted to follow Ding Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, one sentence from Geng Qianxing dispelled the three's thoughts; even if Ding Huan agreed, the three students' parents wouldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting their children stay at Yujiang University for training was one thing, because Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi were already students at Yujiang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the three of them wouldn't pass the exam even if they went to train elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting their children go to Pujiang early for no reason was absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan and Geng Qianxing agreed to meet in Puhai in two months, and he left Yujiang University early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps knowing that they couldn't do anything to Ding Huan before the Blue Star Top Ten Academies assessment ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ding Huan left Yujiang University swaggeringly, the Washing Blade Society didn't come to talk nonsense either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the Washing Blade Society, no matter how much Ding Huan jumped, he only had about two months left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Yujiang University, Ding Huan didn't buy a ticket to Puhai immediately; he went to Youyuan Real Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, after his eyes recovered, the Gene Alliance decided to have him follow a spaceship into space as a test subject for new gene agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, he was tolerant to almost all genes, making him the best gene test subject on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of these abilities, Ding Huan had a certain degree of freedom during his last period on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was still being monitored when he went out, at least he wasn't being tested with various gene agents at every moment like when he was first brought to the Gene Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at that time that Ding Huan learned his house had been sold by the nanny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at that time that he realized the nanny his father had arranged for him had long been bought off by Ding Jie and had been helping Ding Jie keep an eye on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had to add one more thing: the nanny had been poisoning him all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His house had been bought by himself because he didn't want to live on the Seaside Plains, and he wanted to be closer to the Luohe Upper Martial University, so he bought a house in Shanghe Huayuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the timeline, the nanny selling his house was during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan hoped it was still in time; if the house had already been sold by the nanny, he could only endure it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to sell my house.\" As soon as Ding Huan arrived at Youyuan Real Estate, he threw out the property deed without a word of nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the house?\" The staff member asked while opening the property deed, and before Ding Huan could answer, they said in surprise, \"Shanghe Huayuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A house in Shanghe Huayuan?\" A manager sitting in the back also stood up and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houses in Shanghe Huayuan were highly sought after; the location was invincible, the landscaping was first-class, and the distance between buildings was very spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also next to the Luohe Upper Martial University, one of the top universities in the country, so the price had been rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager Xing, it is indeed a house in Shanghe Huayuan, and it's in Building 5.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member holding the property deed handed it to the manager who came over. This building was the king of Shanghe Huayuan because you could see the Upper River when you pushed open the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager looked at the property deed, then looked at Ding Huan enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The house can be sold, but it will take three days. Here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?￠o\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan interrupted him, \"I need to sell it and get the money this afternoon. Can you do it? I only want six million, but if it doesn't sell today, I'll change places immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six million? The smile on the manager's face faded as he looked Ding Huan up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan's property, even at its cheapest, wouldn't be lower than 7.6 million; selling it for 8 million would be normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the other party only wanted six million, which was clearly a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what if it's strange? What kind of people hadn't they seen in the real estate business?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at Ding Huan for a while, the manager suddenly thought of something and blurted out, \"Are you the Young Master Ding of the Baiyu Group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan said indifferently, \"Who I am is not important; what's important is whether you can sell my house today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant smile appeared on the manager's face, and he reached out his hand, saying, \"Let's get acquainted. I am Xing Hai, the person in charge of the Heluo branch of Youyuan Real Estate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Ding coming to us is the right choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In all of Heluo, only our Youyuan Real Estate can help you sell your house this afternoon and let you get the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan knew that Youyuan Real Estate had great influence and could handle both black and white paths. That was precisely why he had come to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Ding, things are different now. We can do it, but if you want to get the money today, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult...\" Xing Hai said with a fake smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew clearly that Ding Huan was now a phoenix that had lost its feathers, not as good as a chicken, regardless of him calling him Young Master Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he was certain that if he bullied Ding Huan today, Ding Huan would be helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan coming here meant that he, Xing Hai, was about to get rich.\u003C\u002Fp>",2255,"2026-06-17T23:21:20.864Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6d9dc5dc0e7b1e7e1cd84131f46a6f2be6fadca579786f4dd0e4ae9854f38818","after-the-myth-chapter-29","after-the-myth-chapter-27",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-myth-cover.jpg"]
