Alchemical Equipment, Bloodline Research (Part 1)

Looking at Beibei, Lei Lin chuckled and said, "Beibei, your senses are quite sharp!"

"There are not only many magic beasts in this vicinity, but more interestingly, the variety of these beasts is very mixed and strange!"

At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Although he had never specifically searched for the Misty Valley, he had been training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for several years and had never discovered this place.

Now that he was training with Linley, they had stumbled upon it just by walking; he truly lived up to being the protagonist!

He looked at Linley and said, "Although this place is interesting, there are too many magic beasts. Even with Beibei here, you might not be safe. Let's leave first."

Although there were many magic beasts in the Misty Valley and their strength was quite high, this was still considered the fringe area. Even if Linley wanted to go in and take a look, he could still hold his own.

However, he said this for two reasons: first, it was more logical, as no one would intentionally seek death. Second, he wanted to see if this would change the plot!

Linley nodded in agreement without a second thought, saying, "Mm, let's go, Brother Lei Lin."

Lei Lin was taken aback, wondering if he had really changed the plot.

But just as Linley and the others were about to leave, Beibei suddenly squeaked again: "Squeak~ (Boss, look at that little grass, it's so beautiful! It looks like a little blue lantern!)"

Hearing this, Linley subconsciously glanced at the spot Beibei's little paw was pointing to, then suddenly froze, his heart beating uncontrollably.

After looking at it carefully, he immediately asked Delin, the grandfather figure he had summoned: "Grandpa Delin, look, is that the Blue Heart Grass you mentioned before?"

The awakened Delin looked toward the little blue grass and frowned, saying, "Eh~, it really is. You kid have good luck!"

Realizing Linley's abnormality, Lei Lin also looked in the direction of Linley's gaze. Seeing the Blue Heart Grass, he also exclaimed softly, "Eh~, that is... Blue Heart Grass!"

Linley asked, "Brother Lei Lin, you recognize the Blue Heart Grass?"

Lei Lin nodded and said, "Mm, Linley, you are a student at the Ernst Magic Academy after all, how can you not even recognize Blue Heart Grass?"

Delin: "..."

Linley: "..., o((⊙﹏⊙))o, should I know it?"

Seeing the bewildered expression on Linley's face, Lei Lin explained, "My magic talent isn't very good, so I've been researching alchemy items, magic arrays, and magic beast bloodlines that can improve the efficiency of magic cultivation."

"This Blue Heart Grass is an excellent catalyst that can assist in bloodline research, but the quantity is too small. I've been posting acquisition tasks at the Adventurers Guild, but I haven't been able to collect much."

Linley: "Bloodline research, catalyst?"

Lei Lin: "..."

"I am a leading figure among the younger generation of Alchemists. The Lightning Robe and Thunder Punishment (electromagnetic gun) currently most popular among low-level adventurers are my representative works."

"Regarding the catalytic effect of Blue Heart Grass on bloodline research, I have even organized several Bloodline Research Enthusiasts Seminars. I'm considered a somebody in the industry. You don't know anything about this?"

"As a mage, you haven't been putting all your time and energy into the refining of magic power and meditation, have you?!"

Linley: "(¬_¬)"

It wasn't that he really spent all his time on magic cultivation; he just spent his other time on warrior training!

As for the Lightning Robe and Thunder Punishment, those alchemy items very popular with low-level adventurers, he had indeed paid attention to them, but he was very poor right now!

As long as he was poor enough, he could resist all temptations!

At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at the gray warrior outfit on Lei Lin. Because Lei Lin had always used warrior methods to fight and only used magic as a supplement (and only occasionally), he had always subconsciously thought of Lei Lin as a warrior.

"Brother Lei Lin, aren't you the number one genius mage on the continent? Why do you always use warrior methods to fight, and why don't you have many magic items on you?"

Lei Lin laughed and said, "I am a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. My warrior strength is also at the seventh rank. The reason I always use warrior methods to fight is mainly because the magic beasts I've encountered during this period are weak enough that warrior methods are sufficient."

"Why waste energy using more complex magic?"

"Besides, my elemental affinity is too average, only medium, so being a warrior is my main focus! Magic is just something I practice whenever my spiritual power allows it. I became a seventh-rank mage without even realizing it, hahaha~"

Linley, Beibei, and Delin looked at each other, speechless. Their lips twitched, but they didn't know what to say. "Practice whenever," "became a seventh-rank without realizing it"—does this sound like human language?

Linley could only sigh at why he couldn't "practice casually" and become the greatest genius in history. He could only sigh that the world of geniuses is just so unreasonable!

Lei Lin seemed not to see the expressions of Linley and Beibei and continued, "As for magic equipment?"

"Magic equipment is not such an inconvenient thing. The outfit I'm wearing looks ordinary, just simple and handsome, without the gaudiness of normal magic equipment, but..."

Speaking of this, magic power surged within Lei Lin. The originally monotonous outfit instantly bloomed with rays of magic light, making the clothes look exceptionally brilliant. At the same time, wisps of electric light appeared on the surface of the clothes, and these electric lights and light rays intertwined to form three magic arrays—two on the left and one on the back—enveloping Lei Lin.

The low-key Black Gold Straight Blade in Lei Lin's hand—Judgment—also emitted rays of light and electricity, automatically floating in the center of the magic array behind Lei Lin. The faintly radiating pressure made the nearby magic beasts feel stifled.

Beibei even squeaked and immediately hid behind the back of Linley's neck.

"Although those Lightning Robes on the market have decent defense and are automatic, in order to compress costs, their upper limit is only enough to withstand attacks of fifth-rank power."

"Thunder Punishment is also mainly aimed at third or fourth-rank practitioners. Only by using the burst mode can it cause effective damage to fifth or sixth-rank experts."

"But this adventurer set I tailored for myself—Thunder God! I won't even mention the materials; I'll just say one thing: its offensive and defensive capabilities are based on my own magic power and battle qi intensity."

"Using my Judgment blade as the ammunition catalyst, as long as the accumulation time is long enough, it can even cause effective damage to ninth-rank experts. This attack intensity was personally experienced and confirmed by my teacher, Sa'er!"

"In addition, this set is also inscribed with life-oriented magic such as constant temperature, cleaning, fire control, and water gathering, ensuring various needs for adventurers during field training!"

Hearing this, Linley couldn't help but show an envious and longing expression, which made Lei Lin feel secretly satisfied.

However, he was also a bit helpless, because this Thunder God set was too useless for him!
