It was a tree.
A willow tree, the most ordinary kind.
Back in the Gene Bank, the first gene Ji Zhixing had found with a 72% compatibility rate with him had been the willow tree gene.
The willow tree gene was far too common, far too ordinary. Ji Zhixing figured its first-tier ability might not even match that of the Three-Inch Stone Monkey.
That was precisely why he had chosen the Three-Inch Stone Monkey Gene rather than the willow tree gene.
"I wonder if this willow tree will do..."
Ji Zhixing gazed at the willow tree standing beside the river in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.
When gene cultivators refined the bodies of various Gene Beasts in their gene furnaces, they had a chance of producing gene samples.
That was where the gene samples in Rain City Base City's Gene Bank had come from.
When he had trained near Stone Lake Town, he had also obtained gene samples after killing and refining Gene Beasts.
But the gene samples from those ordinary Gene Beasts were merely tiny glimmers of light, worth nothing at all.
So after refining them, he had simply dispersed them.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Ji Zhixing's expression, Ren Pingzhi and the others asked.
"Nothing. Let's go take a look over there. I awakened a twin-core gene aperture, and one of my gene apertures still hasn't fused with a gene. I'm planning to refine a willow tree and see if I can get a willow tree gene sample."
"A twin-core gene aperture?"
"A willow tree gene?"
All three were dumbfounded.
"Zhixing, you actually awakened a twin-core gene aperture? But why choose the willow tree gene? The Pikeman Stone Monkey Gene fused into your first gene aperture is so powerful. You should definitely pick something that matches it!"
"I know,
