Dragonblood Potion Complete, Meeting Lin Lei

Another month passed in this research!

When Leilin finally emerged from his laboratory, he held two vials of potion in his hand.

These two vials were the awakening potions he had developed; one was crafted using the blood of a ninth-rank Black Dragon, and the other from the blood of a Saint Realm Silver Dragon.

Researching bloodlines is important, but it's not something that can be accomplished in a short time. I should still try to get on the good side of Lin Lei, the protagonist.

Leilin quickly arrived at Ernst Magic Academy, ignored the enthusiastic greetings along the way, and went straight to Lin Lei's dormitory.

"Um, you are..."

"Leilin Zi'ao, the magic genius ranked number one in history on the continent!"

Leilin looked at the excited-looking Reynolds in front of him and said, "Yes, I am Leilin. You must be Reynolds, right? That little guy Lin Lei has mentioned you to me."

"But let's skip the 'number one genius in history' talk. My ears have grown calluses from hearing that all the way here."

"Besides, since you were able to become students at Ernst Magic Academy, your talents are all exceptional. Who knows, maybe one day a sudden epiphany will lead you to surpass me."

Leilin didn't know the situation of the other students at Ernst Magic Academy, but as Lin Lei's roommates, Leilin certainly wouldn't neglect to pay attention to Reynolds and the others.

Aside from Yale, who had gotten in through connections, the talents of George and Reynolds were truly extraordinary.

In the future, one would reach the Saint Realm on his own, and the other would become a god through his own efforts.

Getting to know them was not a bad thing!

"By the way, is Lin Lei here? I have something to discuss with him."

Reynolds said happily, "Oh, are you here to find Lin Lei? He's at the back mountain. I'll take you there!"

However, George, who was standing to the side, pulled him back and looked at Leilin, asking, "What is it you need to see our third brother about?"

George was not as simple-minded as Reynolds, who had intended to take him straight to the back mountain to find Lin Lei; instead, he asked about Leilin's purpose first.

Leilin, however, wouldn't directly speak about his research into the Dragonblood Potion.

He only spoke vaguely about some of Lin Lei and Beibei's circumstances, as well as some interesting anecdotes from their training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

After proving that he did indeed know Lin Lei and had no malicious intent, the two of them finally took him to find Lin Lei.

The three of them chatted and laughed along the way. George continued to probe for information about Lin Lei, while Reynolds was more concerned about how many noble ladies were setting their sights on Lin Lei now that he was famous.

Once they found Lin Lei, who was training at the back mountain, Reynolds punched him lightly and said, "Third brother, you're too disloyal. You didn't even tell us about all the interesting things that happened during your training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

"And you didn't even introduce us to Brother Leilin, the number one genius in the history of the continent!"

Yes, that's right—student days are just that simple. With the intention to befriend one another, they had already started calling each other brothers.

Lin Lei glanced at Leilin and immediately understood what was going on.

Regarding the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he had mostly given Yale and the others a sanitized version of events, leaving out the darkness he had encountered.

After all, Reynolds and the others all came from extraordinary backgrounds, and their families had already mapped out their future paths; they didn't need to go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to play at life-and-death training like he did.

If he were to describe his experiences in the Magic Beast Mountain Range too clearly or too vividly, it would be troublesome if they got the wrong idea and wanted to experience it themselves.

He even suspected that if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Leilin, he might have already died under Nina's blade.

In Lin Lei's descriptions, Leilin was simply referred to as a friend he had met in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

He had wanted to introduce Leilin to Reynolds and the others, but every time he went to the Zi'ao Family estate recently, the butler told him that Leilin was always busy with experiments.

He had never asked for Leilin's opinion, so the matter had been left hanging.

He hadn't expected Leilin to come looking for him today!

Lin Lei ignored the topic of the Magic Beast Mountain Range and shrugged, saying, "I wanted to introduce Brother Leilin to you all, but he's been busy with experiments and hasn't had the time."

Having said that, Lin Lei asked Leilin, "Brother Leilin, did you receive the things I sent you earlier?"

The Dragonblood Secret Manual was, after all, an heirloom of the Baruch Family; even if it was just a copy, Lin Lei considered it very precious.

Leilin nodded and said, "I received it. Honestly, it has been a great help to my research."

"Well, to return the favor for your gift, I specifically brought a gift of my own." As he spoke, he took out the two vials of bloodline potion he had prepared.

He had only learned that Lin Lei had come looking for him during the old butler's most recent daily report, though the old butler had never taken such things seriously.

Leilin had been speechless at the time and wanted to go find Lin Lei immediately, but his bloodline experiments had reached a critical juncture, which delayed him until today.

Before Lin Lei could speak, Beibei, who was on the side, became interested. He jumped onto Leilin's hand, looked at the two vials of bloodline potion, and squeaked.

Squeak~ (Boss, is this potion reliable?)

Leilin, who couldn't understand Beibei's squeaks, didn't know what Beibei was saying. He just thought Beibei was quite cute and casually took out a seventh-rank magic core to give to Beibei as a snack.

Lin Lei ignored Beibei's words and said with a trembling body, "Brother Leilin, can this thing really..."

"Cough, cough~" Before Lin Lei could finish, Leilin interrupted, "It's not certain, but even if it fails, trying it will at least allow us to collect some data."

After saying this, he glanced at Reynolds and George beside him. The fact that Lin Lei was a Dragonblood Warrior was not a small matter, but it wasn't necessarily a huge one either.

Given the relationship between Reynolds, George, and Lin Lei, they would certainly be willing to keep the secret for Lin Lei if they knew.

But with such matters, it was never good for too many people to know; it might accidentally leak out!

The sensitive George felt that these two vials might not be simple but didn't ask, while the simple-minded Reynolds asked directly.

"Brother Lei Lin, what kind of potion is this? It feels like it's not something simple at all!"

Lei Lin laughed: "Dragonblood Potion, well, a simplified version I specially concocted."

"As long as you can endure the agony of the dragon blood burning your body, it can significantly boost your physical strength!"

"I see you look a bit frail, little guy. Do you want to give it a try? My potion has miraculous effects for that particular area!"

Upon hearing about the agony of the dragon blood burning the body, Reynolds instinctively took two steps back.

After all, as dragon blood was a high-level magical material, they were quite familiar with its various properties as mages.

Various storybooks and novels also mentioned dragon blood; if one disregarded its inherent value, it could absolutely be used as an instrument of torture.

Therefore, even after hearing that it had miraculous effects for that area, he was only slightly tempted for a moment.

"Brother Lei Lin, I feel like I'm still young, I don't need something like this yet!"

Watching Reynolds' fearful expression, Lei Lin raised an eyebrow and laughed: "Hahaha~, one day when I'm in the mood, I'll specially develop a painless version for you. I think you'll definitely have a use for it!"

Hearing this, Reynolds' eyes immediately lit up as he said: "Brother Lei Lin, if you really can research a painless version, you must make sure to give me a bottle when the time comes~"
