Lei Lin said as he handed the experimental records in his hand to Lin Lei, "Let's stop the trials for now. According to the experimental data, the Dragonblood Potion I currently produce is simply unable to help you awaken your bloodline!"

"Furthermore, some of the traits that should have appeared after taking the medicine did not manifest in you."

"I need to first study whether there is a problem with my potion-making methodology and conduct some more animal experiments."

"Let's wait until I produce a second, improved version of the potion before trying it again!"

Lin Lei nodded without a second thought, saying, "No problem, Brother Lei Lin. If there is anything you need me to cooperate with for testing during this time, just call me!"

Lei Lin took out a token and said, "Mm, I certainly won't be polite if I need your help."

"Also, this is my token. When you came before, the butler didn't know our relationship and didn't report it because he saw I was in the middle of an experiment."

"Take this token with you. In the future, just show the token when you come. Once you've been here a few times and the people in the mansion recognize your face, you can just rely on your face to get in."

Having said this, Lei Lin pretended to think for a moment and said, "Lin Lei, your father is very supportive of my research into your family's bloodline, right?"

"Yes, otherwise why would my father have me bring the Dragonblood Secret Manual to you to assist in your research!"

Lei Lin: "Your father, like you, also has insufficient bloodline concentration and cannot awaken his bloodline. Would he be willing to try the medicine?"

"I want more samples for comparison to try and eliminate individual differences."

Since he wanted to build a friendship, Lei Lin certainly wouldn't overlook Lin Lei's father, Hogg.

Using bloodline research as a pretext, Lei Lin intended to help Hogg improve his strength and also forge some goodwill.

Looking at Lin Lei's serious expression, and to avoid being counterproductive, Lei Lin continued, "Lin Lei, don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure about."

"Just as I told you before, the Dragonblood Potion I make, even if it can't help you awaken your bloodline, will certainly do no harm."

Lin Lei felt the strength of his current powerful sixth-rank warrior physique and nodded, saying, "I know, Brother Lei Lin. I have already personally experienced these benefits."

"Actually, my father also has the intention to try the medicine. It's just that with the help of your family, Wushan Town is currently developing rapidly and cannot function without him, so I persuaded my father to stay in the territory and focus on its development first!"

"I will write to my father when I return and have him come over once he has arranged the development of the territory!"

Lin Lei wasn't just making things up; when Hogg learned that Lei Lin intended to study their family's bloodline, he had considered trying the medicine himself.

After all, bloodline experiments ultimately require the cooperation of their family members.

The only ones who met the criteria were him and Lin Lei. It was either him trying the medicine or Lin Lei, and he wanted to help Lin Lei bear the risk.

What Lin Lei hesitated about was whether he should tell Lei Lin that his younger brother, Warton, actually had a bloodline concentration that met the standard and could transform into a Dragonblood Warrior.

After all, in bloodline research, the most important thing is the sample!

If he could have Warton's blood sample, Lei Lin's research would certainly proceed much more smoothly.

But Hogg had strictly forbidden him from revealing anything about Warton to Lei Lin, at least not until Warton had grown up.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand the reason for his father's actions!

It was just that now, seeing Lei Lin use such precious materials as Saint Realm dragon blood to make the Dragonblood Potion just to help him awaken his bloodline, while he himself hid something that could help advance Lei Lin's research, he felt a bit guilty!

Sigh~, although Warton's situation needs to be hidden, when Father arrives, I still have to discuss it with him properly and get a vial of Warton's blood for Brother Lei Lin to use as a target sample.

I'll just say the source of the sample is research material sealed away by the family in the past!

I wonder if I can fool Brother Lei Lin?

As Lin Lei thought this, he asked Delin, who was by his side, if this method was feasible.

Delin looked at Lin Lei speechlessly, then looked at Lei Lin, and said, "Mm, it should be feasible."

"Your family ancestors were at least wealthy once; it's not incomprehensible that they would leave behind some materials as a family foundation for their descendants!"

"Besides, most Alchemists who study bloodlines wouldn't be able to tell the difference!"

However, he muttered in his heart: It's just that Lei Lin is not an ordinary Alchemist; he will likely be able to tell.

Otherwise, Lei Lin wouldn't have been able to make a name for himself in the bloodline circle at such a young age!

But Delin didn't intend to warn Lin Lei about this.

He was old and wise; he had been observing Lei Lin for a long time, and especially through this experiment, he could basically confirm that Lei Lin would not do anything that crossed the line for the sake of bloodline research.

Compared to bloodline research, Lei Lin cared more about Lin Lei as a friend; otherwise, he wouldn't have just been drawing blood for research until now.

He would have long since sliced Lin Lei up and extracted his marrow to assist in his research!

Delin felt that if he were to warn Lin Lei now, it would only be letting Lin Lei torture himself.

Lei Lin said upon hearing this, "There's no need for your uncle to come to the Royal Capital. I'm going to the Chaotic Territory after I organize the experimental data during this period."

"I won't have time to host him if he comes to the Royal Capital!"

"Once I've organized the data and prepared a batch of medicinal bath liquid and Dragonblood Potion, I'll just go to Wushan Town to have Uncle Hogg try the medicine and collect the data."

Lin Lei asked curiously, "The Chaotic Territory? Why are you going there, Brother Lei Lin?"

"I've heard it's very chaotic there!"

Lei Lin shrugged and said, "I was scouted by the Radiant Church. There are Saint Realm experts who want to take me as an apprentice, but I don't want to take a master, so I found an excuse to go to the Chaotic Territory to hide."

Lin Lei was stunned upon hearing this, and after a long while, he said, "Brother Lei Lin, you mean the Radiant Church thinks highly of you."

"I intended to have you apprentice under a Saint Realm expert, but you..."

"I don't want to!!!"

Watching Lin Lei's expression, Lei Lin felt a secret thrill, the corners of his mouth curling up involuntarily as he said, "Mm, that's right!"

"What, do you find that strange?"

"Sigh~, even if I said more, you wouldn't understand right now. You only need to know that to me, the Saint Realm is nothing special, and even becoming a god in the future is just a matter of time."

Speaking to this point, he sighed with a touch of arrogance: "Since I have the ability to reach the Saint Realm on my own, why would I need to go find myself a Saint Realm master?"

"Don't you agree?"

Once these words were out, let alone Lin Lei, even Delin standing to the side was stunned.

He suspected that Lei Lin had gone mad. If Lei Lin said he could reach the Saint Realm in the future, he would believe it.

But to talk about becoming a god!

Heh~

If becoming a god were truly that easy, would there only be the War God and the High Priest as known human god-level experts on the continent?

He had no idea what kind of madness had taken hold of Lei Lin.

After enjoying the shocked expression of the future ruler for a while longer, Lei Lin finally felt satisfied and sent Lin Lei out of the laboratory.

However, he did not forget to warn Lin Lei not to spread what he had said.

This was his laboratory, surrounded by various protective and sound-insulating magic arrays, so he wasn't worried about such words being discovered by outsiders.

But if Lin Lei were to spread this outside, once the Radiant Church found out, he would be in a real bind.
