Body Strengthening Potions That Could No Longer Increase Spiritual Power

"I was so shocked earlier because, despite having such a weak foundation, Little Yun actually managed to unleash that slash of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth!"

"That's also why I said that once he reaches Level 9, he has a chance of reaching the Saint Domain within thirty years. When it comes to warrior training, he truly has extraordinary insight and talent!"

"But he still needs a foundation!"

"If you truly want to help him, remind him to learn more Combat Skills. And it would be best if he studies and researches them as diligently as he did when deriving the Sun Slash and Illusionary Slash from the Light Shadow Slash!"

Fengyun still did not know Delin's opinion of him, but Fengyun, who had just comprehended the Great Brightness Slash through the lingering essence of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, was unhappy.

Frowning slightly, he drank his eighth bottle of Body Strengthening Potion for the day and muttered, "Still nothing!"

"What exactly is going on? Why can't the Body Strengthening Potion increase my Spiritual Power anymore?"

He had gained much during this period, but to Fengyun, the most pleasant surprise had been discovering that Body Strengthening Potions could raise his Spiritual Power.

Especially when compared to Lin Lei, who could not use Body Strengthening Potions to increase his Spiritual Power, Fengyun had once thought this might be his golden finger. He had even believed there might be no upper limit to this Spiritual Power enhancement, perhaps allowing him to strengthen it all the way to the Saint Domain level.

But after comprehending the Great Brightness Slash, he had been in such high spirits that he decided to drink a few extra Body Strengthening Potions that day, making up for the doses he had not properly taken over the previous days while absorbed in comprehending the blade.

Yet when he drank the third Body Strengthening Potion, he suddenly discovered that it no longer had any effect on his Spiritual Power!

At the time, he had thought it might have been an illusion. Once the potion's effects passed, he immediately drank another bottle without hesitation.

The result was the same. His Spiritual Power had not increased in the slightest!

Whether out of stubborn disbelief or unwillingness to accept it, he kept drinking bottle after bottle. Even now, not a single potion had allowed him to further increase his Spiritual Power, making the Saint Magus path that had just begun to shine with dazzling promise seem bleak once more.

Just as he picked up his ninth potion of the day, a hand grabbed his wrist, stopping him from continuing to drink.

With a deep frown, Lin Lei snatched the potion from Fengyun's hand. "Brother Yun, what's wrong with you? Why are you drinking medicine so crazily?"

"This isn't how body refinement is done!"

He knew Fengyun drank Body Strengthening Potions to temper his body, but Fengyun had previously drunk no more than five bottles a day!

Yet today, he had been drinking without pause. Fengyun had already consumed a full eight bottles, and two more would be twice his usual amount.

Lin Lei had drunk the potion himself, so he knew exactly what kind of torment and pain it brought after being consumed.

Even if Fengyun could endure the potion's torture through his realm of Control Over Self and appeared completely unaffected, Lin Lei still did not dare let Fengyun keep drinking!

Especially after noticing that Fengyun, who had worn a smile throughout this period, was now unusually showing traces of sorrow, Lin Lei was even less willing to let him continue.

Seeing Lin Lei take away his potion, Fengyun froze briefly. Then he closed his eyes, slowly exhaled, and said, "Don't worry, Lin Lei. I'm fine!"

"I know my own body. I drank a little more today, but it's all within my limits. Nothing will happen."

Even now, he still did not understand why Body Strengthening Potions could no longer strengthen his Spiritual Power. However, he had always regarded himself as a warrior, and his goal had always been to become a Saint Warrior.

Although losing this "golden finger" after gaining it felt terrible, he had gained far too much during this period—especially after unleashing that slash of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, then creating the Great Brightness Slash.

Otherwise, if he had lost an opportunity that might have allowed him to become a Saint Magus, even if he could control his emotions and avoid going mad, he would still have been depressed for quite some time.

Lin Lei relaxed slightly upon hearing that. "I can tell that your body is fine, Brother Yun, but why do you seem so sorrowful today?"

"You just created such a powerful Great Brightness Slash. You should be happy!"

Fengyun sighed. "Sigh... Do you remember when I asked what changes happened to your Spiritual Power after drinking a Body Strengthening Potion?"

Lin Lei raised a brow. "I remember. Why?"

Back then, he had wanted to experience the effects of a Body Strengthening Potion, so he had asked Fengyun for one to try. After recovering from the pain of consuming it, Fengyun had asked him how much his Spiritual Power had increased.

At the time, Lin Lei had thought Fengyun was confused. What did a Body Strengthening Potion have to do with increasing Spiritual Power?

Only afterward had Fengyun told him that Body Strengthening Potions could increase Spiritual Power, and that the effect was even somewhat better than meditation.

Naturally, he had not believed it. He had even scoffed at the claim, thinking Fengyun was deliberately saying it to lure him into drinking another Body Strengthening Potion and make a fool of himself.

But now, seeing Fengyun's demeanor and the fact that he had drunk eight bottles in a single day, doubts inexplicably arose in his heart. Glancing at Delin's soul beside him, he sent a mental message. "Grandpa Delin, can Body Strengthening Potions really not increase Spiritual Power?"

Delin immediately replied, "Body Strengthening Potions, Body Strengthening Potions!"

"You can tell from the name that they're used to strengthen the body. Of course they can't increase Spiritual Power!"

"If you ask me, it's about time you studied Alchemy."

"Even if you don't become an alchemist, if you knew more about potion-making, you wouldn't have such a wildly fanciful idea as Body Strengthening Potions being able to increase Spiritual Power!"

"You should know that alchemists are also a type of magus, and Body Strengthening Potions were developed and made by alchemists. If something like a Body Strengthening Potion could strengthen Spiritual Power, how could warriors possibly get a share of it?"

"I can guarantee you one hundred percent that if Body Strengthening Potions could increase Spiritual Power, no matter how many flaws they had, magi would overcome them one by one and monopolize them as an exclusive potion for magi."

"Even if they couldn't solve the agony like torture or the flaw of bodily damage, warriors still wouldn't get to use them!"

"After all, Spiritual Power is the foundation of a magus!"

"Sigh... If there really were miraculous medicines capable of increasing Spiritual Power, there wouldn't be so few Saint Magi on the continent. You could pile up a whole group of Saint Magi just by forcibly stacking Spiritual Power."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Flat Blade School's carving method is the core secret teaching of our school!?"

Delin Kewote's judgment was also why Lin Lei had firmly believed Fengyun was teasing him.

Looking at the few remaining Body Strengthening Potions in his pack, Fengyun said, "When I asked you about the changes to your Spiritual Power, I wasn't teasing you. I really could increase my Spiritual Power through Body Strengthening Potions."

"But now, when I drink Body Strengthening Potions, my Spiritual Power can no longer increase!"
