"Just like this!"

As he spoke, the text [Just like this!] appeared on both Communication Crystals.

Then, a second line of text appeared below the first on the crystals, [This is the second message sent!]

"Alright, you try it too!"

[Send a message?]

Watching the third message appear on the crystal, Lei Lin continued, "See? It's very convenient to use, right?"

"However, this tool isn't perfect yet. First, we must both activate it simultaneously to communicate, so we need to agree on a time. Your home should have a clock, right? Let's set it for 9:00 AM every day!"

"Secondly, you can only input three messages at a time, then you have to wait for a one-day cooldown before you can continue using it the next day."

"It's still being optimized. Once you return to Wushan Town, ask your father; if you need anything, just send me a message."

"Alright, that's it. I'm leaving now!"

The next day, Zi'ao Family.

After tucking in Windsor and Luo Lin, who were beside him, Lei Lin sighed with inexplicable emotion, "Hmm, my physique is getting stronger and stronger. I must set a cultivation KPI for little Luo Lin and Windsor, otherwise, the task of carrying on the family line won't be easy to complete in the future."

Stepping outside and seeing the sun already high in the sky, Lei Lin mused, "I parted with Linley too quickly before; I completely forgot about the Alice plotline coming up."

"Forget it. I've tried what I wanted to try. How could Alice be more interesting than bloodline research!"

"These are precious research materials from super divine beasts like the Dragonblood Warrior and the God-Eater Rat. Although there's a high probability I won't be able to research anything, if I really can discover something, it would be an incredible achievement!"

Taking one last look at the two women resting on the bed behind him, Lei Lin headed toward his laboratory without looking back.

"A beautiful life requires powerful strength to protect it!"

Upon entering his Bloodline Laboratory, Lei Lin began his research on Linley's bloodline.

Drawing blood, separating samples, setting up water and light dual-material microscopic observation magic arrays, observing the microscopic structure of the bloodline, drawing diagrams, and recording time.

Preparing the Bloodline Fluorescent Agent, staining...

Calibrating the Bloodline Reaction Reagent, testing the reaction between the bloodline and various elemental materials...

For half a month straight, Lei Lin remained holed up in his Bloodline Laboratory, pushing all other matters to the Family Elder Council to handle.

"Young Master, there is a package for you, sent by Mr. Linley."

During this period, Linley had contacted him. After establishing a friendship and achieving basic financial freedom through magic cores obtained from training, Linley's perspective had undergone some changes.

Facing Lei Lin's initiative, Linley didn't stand on ceremony. After discussing the resources needed for the development of Wushan Town with his father Hogg, he sent a list to Lei Lin.

Lei Lin had left this matter to his subordinates to handle, and through his brief exchanges with Linley during this time, he learned that his subordinates had done a good job.

"A package from Linley? What is it?"

After arranging for a puppet to bring the package into the laboratory, Lei Lin opened it and found that there wasn't much inside—just a few books, a letter, and some trivial items like needles and jade plaques.

Lei Lin's brow twitched. He rubbed his eyes, took out the books, and confirmed that the four large characters on them were indeed Dragonblood Secret Manual.

After clicking his tongue twice, Lei Lin carefully read the contents of the letter to understand what was going on.

The general meaning was that Linley had told Hogg about Lei Lin's intention to study their family bloodline and his decision to help him awaken the Azure Dragon bloodline.

After much deliberation, Hogg had directly mailed the family's ancestral Dragonblood Secret Manual, Dragonblood Needles, and some of the family's insights into bloodline research to Lei Lin, hoping to contribute a little to Lei Lin's bloodline research.

The reason Hogg did this was very simple: he truly hoped Lei Lin could discover something. After all, the drawback of being unable to practice Battle Qi due to insufficient bloodline concentration was truly frustrating.

Their Baruch Family hadn't failed to research it, but bloodline research was truly a bottomless pit. The key was that even with the investment, there was no guarantee of discovering anything.

Even when their family hadn't declined, they hadn't managed to research anything!

Now that Lei Lin was optimistic about Linley's future and was also interested in their Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, Hogg naturally decided to support him without hesitation.

As for worrying about the inheritance leaking?

What a joke. Do you think this Battle Qi Manual, specifically designed for Dragonblood Warriors, is something cheap?

Their family members couldn't practice other Battle Qi manuals, and those outside the family couldn't possibly practice the Dragonblood Secret Manual. Moreover, it wasn't just them; the exclusive Battle Qi manuals of the other three Ultimate Warrior Families couldn't be practiced by ordinary people either—they were all exclusive family manuals that only family members could cultivate.

Lei Lin initially had no interest in the Dragonblood Secret Manual because Hogg had already stated in the letter that without the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, one could not practice the Dragonblood Secret Manual at all.

He first focused his attention on the Baruch Family's past bloodline research insights, but before long, he sighed, "Tsk~, although it's more comprehensive than mine in terms of breadth, it's not much better than mine in terms of depth."

"And these records and data are too crude; they aren't detailed enough!"

After casually drinking a refreshing beverage, Lei Lin thought to himself, "I'd better continue researching low-to-mid-level Magic Beasts. The Dragonblood Warrior bloodline is, after all, the bloodline of a super divine beast. I'll research it slowly after I reach the Saint Realm and have an infinite lifespan, when my thinking speed is faster and stronger!"

While inwardly mocking his own overestimation of his abilities, Lei Lin flipped open the cultivation section of the Dragonblood Secret Manual. He had only intended to take a casual look to broaden his horizons; after all, this was the cultivation manual adapted for the Dragonblood Warrior's Azure Dragon bloodline.

Furthermore, although the original work didn't explicitly state it, this manual was either compiled by the Main God Beirut himself for the first generation of the Baruch Family, or it was obtained by Beirut from the Four Divine Beasts family.

If not, could it have been a cultivation manual created by the first generation of the Baruch Family themselves?

Lei Lin, who had also studied Battle Qi manuals, could only say that was pure fantasy, let alone an exclusive cultivation technique capable of adapting to the bloodline of a super divine beast.

Even ordinary Battle Qi manuals couldn't be created casually, otherwise, the nobility wouldn't have monopolized them so severely, to the point where ordinary people could only perform simple Qi-Nurturing Methods to temper their blood and refine their bodies.

This is the charm of knowledge, the monopoly of knowledge!

He had even tried to create his own Battle Qi manual, but the result could only be described as unspeakable—he only managed to produce a manual with quite average power but extremely high cultivation difficulty, which only he himself had succeeded in practicing.
