The formulas for these two potions were also strictly forbidden from being leaked!

But Delin Kewote had once been a Saint Magus of the Pu'ang Empire, so he knew the formulas.

Moreover, he had specifically researched these things when he studied alchemy in the past. That was also why he had so decisively told Lin Lei earlier that this stuff absolutely could not increase Spiritual Power.

Now, in order to repay Fengyun's kindness, Lin Lei planned to refine Body Strengthening Potions for him.

After all, judging by the way Fengyun drank them, if the potions were so precious that they had to be exchanged for merits, Fengyun would have no way to use them for stable cultivation.

It was just that he had not studied alchemy much before. Even with the experienced Grandpa Delin guiding him from the side, all kinds of errors in the details caused him to fail repeatedly.

Fengyun, on the other hand, already had a foundation in alchemy. Combined with his formidable control over himself, he refined a Body Strengthening Potion before long.

However, the Body Strengthening Potions he refined at first had effects that were truly hard to describe. After slowly improving them, he had only now completely mastered the details of controlling the heat when refining Body Strengthening Potions.

"Hahaha~ Lin Lei, what are you getting all twisted up about?"

"I'm an alchemist to begin with, and I'm using the alchemical equipment I use to maintain my Light Shadow Blade. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to successfully make this Body Strengthening Potion faster than you?"

Lin Lei curled his lips and said nothing, but inwardly he muttered, "That's what you say, but the problem is that every time I made one, Grandpa Delin, a Saint Realm mage, gave me precise, hands-on guidance about every detail."

"Brother Yun, on the other hand, received relatively vague guidance through me, a secondhand teacher."

"Neither of us had refined potions before, but you still managed to make a genuine Body Strengthening Potion ahead of me. I can't help feeling depressed about that!"

Fengyun took out a serving from the Glass Bottle that had previously held the Body Strengthening Potion and drank it directly. In an instant, his skin turned bright red, his muscles bulged, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Feeling the changes in himself, Fengyun said happily, "Not bad, not bad. This is the feeling!"

Then he raised his brows slightly. "Tsk~ It feels even more potent than before!"

Hearing this, Delin Kewote laughed. "The Body Strengthening Potions exchanged for students are basically made from the Quintessential Blood of ordinary demonic beasts. You two used the Quintessential Blood of Winged Bird Dragons instead. Even though it was specially diluted, how could its effects compare to those of ordinary Body Strengthening Potions?"

"After all, no matter how thin the dragon bloodline in a Winged Bird Dragon is, the word 'dragon' is still in its name. Dragon blood naturally has a body-strengthening effect!"

Lin Lei promptly relayed Delin's words, and Fengyun nodded. "So that's how it is!"

Over these three days, while learning to make Body Strengthening Potions, he had gradually developed an interest in Bloodline Studies. Through Lin Lei and Delin Kewote, this Saint Magus, he had learned quite a lot.

In addition, with how famous dragon blood was, it was easy for him to understand why the potion's strengthening effects had become more powerful.

After that, Fengyun did not continue discussing more profound knowledge with Lin Lei.

After all, according to Lin Lei, he had happened to discover the method for making Body Strengthening Potions while searching through some books at home, and he did not know much about other Bloodline Studies knowledge.

Considering that the Dragon Blood Warrior family had once been a respectable family, this was not unreasonable.

But how could such an obviously formulaic excuse fool Fengyun? Still, he could not be bothered to expose it. He was already delighted that Lin Lei was willing to teach him how to make the potion.

As for other questions about Bloodline Studies, he could slowly learn about them after returning to the Special Warfare Camp.

Although the Special Warfare Camp would not teach him how to make Body Strengthening Potions, Bloodline Studies was one of the disciplines of alchemy, and the alchemy academy at the Special Warfare Camp taught it systematically.

Unfortunately, the main ingredient of Blood Boil was not demonic beast blood, and the equipment he carried for maintaining his Light Shadow Blade was far too crude.

This set of equipment was sufficient for refining the relatively simple Body Strengthening Potion, which leaned more toward Bloodline Studies. But if he wanted to use it to refine Blood Boil, which genuinely belonged to the field of potion-making, it was not enough.

Still, he was not greedy. After all, the greatest shortage among his cultivation resources was the Body Strengthening Potion.

As for Blood Boil, which only required one bottle a day, he could submit high-grade magic crystal cores and demonic beast materials as trial results, exchange them for merits at the Special Warfare Camp, and then use those merits to exchange for the potion.

After all, he still had the token Imanol had given him. Every month, he could receive ten bottles of Body Strengthening Potion and Blood Boil from the Special Warfare Camp for free.

"When I get back, I'll have to ask whether I can exchange the quota for ten bottles of Body Strengthening Potion for Blood Boil. If I can't, I'll have to work harder hunting demonic beasts."

"But if I can exchange them, I won't have to worry about potion consumption at all in the future."

Over the next few days, apart from the time he spent cultivating, Fengyun refined Body Strengthening Potions without stopping. He soon refined enough to fill several waterskins. If each small bottle counted as one serving, there were a full three or four hundred servings of Body Strengthening Potion.

Looking at the several large waterskins filled with Body Strengthening Potion, Lin Lei also smiled happily. "With these, Brother Yun, you won't have to worry about consuming Body Strengthening Potions anymore!"

During the days Fengyun cultivated, Lin Lei would also occasionally practice with Fengyun's alchemical equipment.

As it turned out, his talent in alchemy was not weak either. Lin Lei had contributed to the Body Strengthening Potions in those several large waterskins.

After using up all the collected Quintessential Blood of the Winged Bird Dragons and Green Patterned Giant Pythons, the two of them also set out on their journey back.

Two days later, the first genius girl of Weilin Magic Academy appeared in Lin Lei's fate, just as in the original story.

Watching Lin Lei dispatch the Bloodthirsty Warpig in a few swift moves and rescue Alice, Kalan, and the others from danger, Fengyun wondered whether he should intervene and interrupt Lin Lei's heroically saving-the-beauty act, helping him avoid an emotional heartbreak.

But Fengyun did not have time to do that now, because...

"Big Brother Fengyun, you're here too! I can't believe you saved my life again!" Huihui, with her red hair and pretty, charming appearance, came to Fengyun's side happily.

Previously, the Kailai Family had asked Fengyun to help bring Huihui to the Monster Mountain Range for a trial. At the time, Fengyun had not refused outright, but after returning and calming down, he had gradually abandoned the unrealistic thoughts in his heart.

After all, his true identity was that of an undercover agent!

An undercover agent should act like one. He could not do unnecessary things simply because Huihui matched his aesthetic preferences so well.

Letting the matter fade away without further action would have been the best choice. But unexpectedly, he had encountered Huihui in danger again today in the Monster Mountain Range.

Although it had been Lin Lei who acted, with Fengyun merely standing by to cover him, in Huihui's eyes, it seemed that he had saved her again!
