Chapter 527 Researching about Mutation
One month had passed just like that, and the Beast Farm had taken shape in the middle of the forest.
The construction was already complete, and the breeding of the beasts was also going well.
Four of the five Wyverns that had followed Rishi back had evolved into new forms: two into inferno Wyverns and the remaining two into feathered Wyverns.
There was only one odd one left; he was different from the others. Unlike other Wyverns who liked to fly and play outside, he liked to spend more time in Hideout.
Rishi had noticed that some changes were taking place in him naturally. Strange purple-colored vessel-like structures had appeared on his body.
From what Rishi had found out, it might be due to him absorbing a large amount of shadow energy.
Shadow energy inside the Hideout was no joke; it acted like poison to most creatures without the Shadow Element.
However, somehow this Wyvern could not only easily move around there but also consume the fruits there full of rich shadow energy.
He had seen it personally munching mutated fruits. At that time, he was unable to believe his eyes.
This surprised him; at that time, he was busy and didn't want to think about it.
Now that he had noticed this mutation, his interest was piqued. The moment he checked it using 'Inspect', he found out that its affinity toward Shadow Element was very high.
This came as a surprise for him. He had only looked for wind and fire affinity. Never had he thought that one of them would have such high shadow affinity.
What was even weirder was his natural mutation. It was not easy for the Magic Beasts to evolve naturally, and that was an unusual mutation, which was very rare.
In general, most of the magic beasts had a natural evolution path that they inherited from their race and bloodline.
Any changes that made them different from others of their race would be labeled as mutations, while mutation itself was a broad topic.
In Rishi's understanding, it could be divided into three categories according to the change in power.
Neutral Mutation: It was very common, and mainly the changes that appeared due to it didn't affect the overall strength and bloodline of the creature. It would change the size, color, or basic properties of some body parts.
Negative Mutation: This was rare, but it was still not hard to find multiple magic beasts suffering from it. This mainly resulted from the magic beasts absorbing different kinds of energy.
The easiest way to find such a mutation would be to force a magic beast to survive in an environment it was not meant to.
In this case, in order to let the creature survive, its body was mutated. This led to a weaker magic beast as it focused mainly on survival in extreme conditions.
Positive Mutation: It was very hard to find this type of mutation. In this type of mutation, the strength of the mutated creature would be greater than that of its predecessor.
The first case that came to mind was weak magic beasts coming into contact with dark energy and mutating into different creatures. Like undead creatures, they were usually stronger than the original creature.
This was a very broad topic, about which even Rishi had little information. He didn't know how it took place with certain creatures.
However, this didn't change the fact that he was knowledgeable enough to make this process faster.
He collected a sample of the Blood of the Wyvern and started researching it.
With his inspection skills, he rarely relied on such things, but he decided to do some research just out of curiosity.
If it were a mutation to any other element beast, he would not have been this eager and excited, but when it came to Shadow Element, he was never bored to learn new things.
His many abilities have been formed due to his curiosity about creatures with shadow elements.
As he studied the sample using various hi-tech Miscrosope and other instruments, he was able to find out even the small changes in the cells.
He noticed that the cells of the mutated Wyvern were transforming, while most of its cells were similar to those of other Wyverns.
Hidden between them were cells that were smaller, as if compressed. They had small purple spots on their cell membrane.
That was not the only change; even their nucleus was transforming into being compatible with shadow energy.
However, he noticed that the rate at which these cells multiplied was very slow. He studied them for some more time.
After he was done, it was time for him to acquire more information about some way to increase the transformation of cells.
Many curious researchers have done multiple studies on this topic; all they had to do was purchase this information online.
Information like this was controlled and not easily available, but researchers willingly shared it with others for some funds.
It was because of the strict rules made by the government; however, it was not easy to obtain them.
There was an extensive process that one had to go through before being able to get access to such information.
This was no big deal for Rishi; he was an official Three Star Beast Cultivator. For the information he wanted, his status helped him.
He also got a big discount from the Beast Cultivator Alliance after he confirmed his identity.
It was not a big deal; Beast Cultivator required much critical information for their research. In order to make it easier for them, the Beast Cultivator Alliance had taken such steps.
They had to sign a spirit contract to not leak this information to anyone, which was easy for Rishi.
After purchasing multiple such research reports, he delved into devouring all the knowledge he had accumulated.
With his extreme focus, he forgot about other things and got lost in them.
The more he read, the more he learned. He had basic knowledge, but their information changed his perspective on many things.
It took him only one day to go through them and memorize them; other than that, he also needed two more days to absorb everything and perform experiments completely.
After he was done, he now had a greater understanding of these mutated cells. They were called corrupt cells.
In the research he had read, this name was given because mutation was generally bad.
He then started producing a compound that could help him make the process of mutation faster.
