All the nutrient solution is kept here, and I will feed her when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yan Quan was still hesitant, Qu Yonghe hurriedly said, \"That’s fine, we will listen to Teacher Ding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he even took the initiative to pull Yan Quan away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan was not at ease with Qu Yi; he could watch over her by cultivating here, and if there were any emergencies, he could handle them in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason was that he knew this was the most important time for Qu Yi’s recovery, and people coming and going, even without noise, wouldn't be too good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Qu Yi was like a piece of porcelain that would shatter at a touch; what she needed wasn't careful care, but extreme quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Qu Yi lying quietly on the hospital bed, Ding Huan made up his mind that no matter what, he had to let Qu Yi recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having not rested well for several days, once his spirit relaxed, Ding Huan felt an extreme sense of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't rest, but began to cultivate the Luoshi Sutra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, two days passed. When Ding Huan woke up from his meditation, he found that Qu Yi’s aura was much stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately stepped forward to check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the doctor who saved me?\" Qu Yi’s voice was almost inaudible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan was a Level 2 Gene Cultivator, so he could hear it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said \"Hmm\" and said, \"You don't need to worry; as long as you rest and recover, your injuries will soon disappear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't see with my eyes.\" Qu Yi’s tone was somewhat fearful and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me, I will let you see the beauty of this world,\" Ding Huan said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Qu Yi’s aura immediately leveled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan’s words resonated in the deepest part of her heart, giving her a resonance from the depths of her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When people’s living environment was harsh and they were constantly hovering on the edge of life and death, morality became fragile, evil, oppression, and killing were everywhere, and people didn't trust each other...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi always believed that the world was ultimately beautiful, as long as one used their heart to feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those soldiers who fought to the death to protect human cities, fought against gene beasts, and bathed in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those scholars who studied survival genes day and night to let humanity continue and make humanity stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those students who worked hard to enter the top ten Blue Star Academies and then contributed to guarding the Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard that the death rate of students in the top ten Blue Star Academies exceeded 50%, but every time, countless people still wanted to enter the top ten Blue Star Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might want to become powerful, but more people should have the same idea as her: to guard the Earth and guard humanity after becoming powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, after the environment mutated, that streak of blood-red sunset that could be seen before sunset every day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all the beauty she believed in, the beauty of the world she could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After letting Qu Yi take a dose of nutrient solution, Ding Huan took out the spirit root gene agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and said, \"Qu Yi, this is a very important agent for you. Don't let your emotions fluctuate; drink this agent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi obediently drank the agent in Ding Huan’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were at Ruiji Hospital, she would never believe what was important or unimportant to her, because she knew she was going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she clearly felt her body functions slowly recovering and getting better and better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Ding Huan asked in a low voice, \"Qu Yi, how do you feel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are streams of heat permeating my whole body, and my whole person seems to be much more relaxed,\" Qu Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan clenched his fists; this was a sign of the generation of a gene spirit root. Qu Yi’s reaction was a bit weak; could it be that she couldn't generate a gene spirit root?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, he heard Qu Yi let out a painful groan, and then cold sweat broke out on her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seem to be being burned by flames, and my whole person is in the flames. These flames are burning inside my body...\" Qu Yi’s voice was intermittent, seemingly ready to disappear at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon; just endure it,\" Ding Huan comforted her from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very uneasy in his heart. First, he didn't know if the spirit root gene refined from his own brow blood could be used by Qu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he also didn't know if Qu Yi could fuse with other spirit root genes after failing to fuse with this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Qu Yi endured the terrifying pain, and her hand grabbed down forcefully, just happening to grab Ding Huan’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qu Yi had been hovering on the edge of life and death for more than half a month, her body was as thin as a gust of wind that could blow her away. Under the kind of flames that were about to burn her from the inside out, she erupted with strong survival power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan’s wrist was scratched by her fingernails, and blood flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full two hours passed before Qu Yi slowly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief; he knew the most agonizing time had passed. As for whether Qu Yi had generated a gene spirit root, he could only wait until tomorrow to cultivate the Luoshi Sutra to find out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Teacher Ding?\" Qu Yi’s weak voice woke Ding Huan, who was slumped by the bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan was somewhat self-reproachful; he had actually fallen asleep by the bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me. Don't worry, I will definitely make you get better,\" Ding Huan patted Qu Yi’s hand gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Teacher Ding...\" Qu Yi’s voice trembled somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want Qu Fei to call Ding Huan, but they still called Ding Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan was very dangerous now; the Gene Alliance was still hunting him, and appearing here, once the Gene Alliance knew, he wouldn't even have a way to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also felt that she seemed to have scratched Ding Huan’s wrist yesterday; she carefully grabbed Ding Huan’s hand and then gently stroked Ding Huan’s wrist, feeling no signs of injury, which made her feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I’m sorry for you; I didn't take good care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan was truly self-reproachful from the bottom of his heart. He thought that by taking out the two guys who collected Qu Yi’s information and destroying that notebook, Qu Yi would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Qu Yi almost died in Puhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi’s nose felt a bit sour; she stared blankly at Ding Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her eyes were empty and she couldn't see anything, she still really wanted to ask Ding Huan: Why are you so good to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't the kind of girl who was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her, nor did she have any special advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qu Yi, you now follow me to cultivate; the cultivation method I practice is called the Luoshi Sutra...\" Ding Huan didn't give Qu Yi too much time to think; he urgently wanted to know if Qu Yi’s gene spirit root had been generated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi nodded forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan began to teach Qu Yi the concepts of acupuncture points, meridians, and cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Qu Yi was a student at Qinghe University and had long systematically studied the various acupuncture points and meridians of the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Ding Huan just reminded her a little, and she understood; this saved many awkward questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ding Huan, Qu Yi was the most important person in his life, but not his lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some actions that could be avoided must be avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qu Yi began to operate the first cycle, a faint stream of heat rose in her dantian, and Qu Yi said excitedly, \"Teacher Ding, I felt a trace of heat staying in my dantian...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And after that?\" Ding Huan’s excited voice was much louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the second cycle, that trace of aura seemed to have grown a bit stronger,\" Qu Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, you don't cultivate now; wait for me to teach you the entire Luoshi Sutra.\" Ding Huan let out a long sigh of relief; Qu Yi generating a gene spirit root was the most important thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi had a very good memory; Ding Huan only used one hour to teach the entire Luoshi Sutra to Qu Yi, which also included some explanation time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qu Yi, it might be a bit difficult when you advance later in the Luoshi Sutra; I have only just started practicing this cultivation method myself. This cultivation method is very precious; don't pass it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan exhorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was clear that even if Qu Yi passed it on, no one would be able to practice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luoshi Sutra was simply too important; he didn't want Qu Yi to pass it on and cause unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, no matter who asks me, I won't say.\" Qu Yi said \"Hmm.\" She thought this was Ding Huan’s thing, and since Ding Huan told her not to say it, she wouldn't say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone else must ask you, you can teach them another cultivation method; this cultivation method is called the Thousand-Lace Gene Art, which is the cultivation method I taught to the three students at Yujiang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also taught them a type of boxing called Basic Long Fist; if you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to the Dahan Yi Academy to find Fang Chong and let Fang Chong teach you the Basic Long Fist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan planned to teach the Thousand-Lace Gene Art to Qu Yi as well; the Basic Long Fist needed to be taught while practicing, and Qu Yi was obviously not suitable for learning the Basic Long Fist at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi was somewhat stunned when she heard Ding Huan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought what Ding Huan had taught her before was the cultivation method practiced by the three students at Yujiang University; only now did she know that what Ding Huan taught her was actually much more precious than that cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Ding, why do you...\" Qu Yi really couldn't help it and wanted to ask Ding Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really didn't know Ding Huan, but Ding Huan’s dedication to her was more thorough than that of a lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave her an illusion in the deepest part of her heart: Ding Huan was her long-separated lover, and today he had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't talk, try hard to remember the Thousand-Lace Gene Art I’m teaching you.\" Ding Huan’s voice came, not letting Qu Yi continue to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Yi tried hard to cast aside her complicated thoughts and began to memorize the Thousand-Lace Gene Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another hour later, Qu Yi said, \"Ding... Big Brother, I have memorized it all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt she shouldn't call Ding Huan \"Teacher\"; calling him \"Teacher\" seemed to invisibly pull the distance between her and Ding Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, next I want to teach you some small spells, including the Wind Blade Technique, Fireball Technique, Wind-Riding Technique, Dust-Removing Technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just need to memorize these spells; they are mainly the application of internal Qi, as well as the application of incantations and hand seals. You can't use them now; you can try to practice them after you reach a Level 1 Gene Cultivator.\" Ding Huan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells? Qu Yi was a bit stunned; she understood and accepted cultivation because gene cultivation was not a secret on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells—this seemed to have some mythological color; she hadn't heard of anyone who could use spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ding Huan’s voice and explanation had already come, and she could only collect her mind and try hard to memorize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a premonition that Ding Huan seemed to want to teach her everything he knew and then leave her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought made her somewhat fearful and uneasy; in just a few days, she had developed a deep dependence on Ding Huan in the deepest part of her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want Ding Huan to leave, but she couldn't say it. \u003C\u002Fp>",2112,"2026-06-17T23:21:20.864Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c35b6e1c596a0484b5a7131887370dc6e070658f24dccd4c485c68bbbb6f05a8","after-the-myth-chapter-63","after-the-myth-chapter-61",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-myth-cover.jpg"]
