Chapter 833: Chapter 528: Soul Laborers, Exploiting Apostles, and a Sudden Surge in Power! (Part 2)
This is a Silver Lower Rank Undead Mage.
"Teacher, I had a significant discovery during my meditation just now.
In the process of visualizing the Spiritual Remains Lord, a Blood Moon Observatory appeared before me.
I can trade with this Blood Moon Observatory, infusing it with knowledge or Artificial Undead Creatures, in exchange for the Undead Blood Moon Will to open up a Personal Undead Space for me.
Look!"
Yang Yuxin demonstrated to Maurice how she released and stored the five Artificial Skeletons in her Personal Undead Space.
With Maurice’s proficiency in Undead Magic, he instantly recognized this as the Summoning Tomb Skill pioneered by the Professional Pioneer Ark.
"Yuxin, you can do this as well?
Quickly give me a detailed description of the details during meditation.
Previously, Fang Zhou also submitted a user experience of the Summoning Tomb Skill to the research group.
His description is very similar to what you’re saying now.
If you’ve indeed succeeded, then Fang Zhou is no longer an isolated case!
There is hope for promoting the Summoning Tomb Skill among all Undead Mages!"
After some time, listening to Yang Yuxin’s account, Maurice stood up joyfully, pulling her along as he rushed outside.
"Let’s go; I’ll take you to find Master Sandro; this is a very important discovery.
Our Undead Mage profession is going to become even more powerful!"
......
Although Fang Zhou did not know the specific details of Yang Yuxin’s communication with the research group members, he could speculate what kind of progress it should be.
It could be said that Fang Zhou controlled the rhythm of the entire situation.
Sure enough, after staying in the research room for a while, he received a message from Master Sandro, inviting him to a discussion in the conference room.
After mentally reviewing his prepared words, Fang Zhou calmly removed his experimental equipment and walked towards Master Sandro’s conference room.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Yang Yuxin standing there, excitedly reporting something.
With Fang Zhou’s deliberate or accidental guidance, Master Sandro and Instructor Maurice finally confirmed that Yang Yuxin became the second Undead Mage to successfully master the [Summoning Tomb], opening a Personal Undead Space.
The key to success lay in the fact that, during meditation, she entered a deep meditation state and communicated with the Undead Blood Moon Will.
With Master Sandro and Fang Zhou’s approval, the Undead Mage research group decided to prioritize the Summoning Tomb Skill to a high level.
They aim to enable other Undead Mages to gradually learn this crucial strategic skill that could change the traditional combat mode of Undead Mages.
Afterwards, Fang Zhou controlled the induction rhythm, occasionally allowing some apprentice-level Undead Mages to experience the Blood Moon Observatory.
Of course, most Undead Mages lack Yang Yuxin’s exceptional talent and cannot provide Fang Zhou with excellent research inspiration for Undead Battle Array.
In such cases, Fang Zhou naturally grants them a smaller Personal Undead Space, just to let them taste a bit of the sweetness.
Then, he guides them to relax during meditation, contributing their wisdom and computation power.
After experimenting on Yang Yuxin, Fang Zhou remodeled his research laboratory within his Tomb Territory to allocate numerous workstations capable of projecting souls.
Currently in the early stages of experimentation, Fang Zhou, for safety reasons, did not disguise himself as the Undead Blood Moon Will to have soul interactions with Black Iron or higher Undead Mages.
For these apprentice-level Undead Mage Soul Bodies, once they agreed to trade with him and relaxed their mental defenses, Fang Zhou could easily guide them to the workstations in the Tomb Territory research lab.
Fang Zhou could break down the various cumbersome experiments he wanted to conduct into individual steps and then instill them into these confused soul researchers through the Spiritual Remains Authority.
Then, allocating a bit of focus to act as a supervisor to prevent these Undead Mage soul laborers from slacking off, Fang Zhou was delighted to see a significant increase in research efficiency in his Tomb Territory.
These were just some spiritually weak and shallowly knowledgeable apprentice-level Undead Mages, yet they could provide so much computational support to Fang Zhou.
When Fang Zhou eventually introduces this Blood Moon Observatory into the meditation processes of Black Iron and even Bronze level Undead Mages, to what exaggerated extent will they be able to enhance the research efficiency in the Tomb Territory?
Upon thinking about this, Fang Zhou was filled with anticipation.
The Spiritual Remains Lord Clone’s eyes, which appeared extremely menacing and terrifying under the reflection of the Blood Moon Mask, now exuded a kind and caring aura.
These Undead Mages are premium resources indeed.
It’s essential to nurture them and let them grow stronger.
Then, harvest them wave after wave, forming a positive cycle of sustainable development.
The biggest issue here, however, is the overly sparse number of Undead Mages.
After all, since the Era of Myth began, the number of people within the Blue Star Human Alliance who have Awakened to this super rare profession of Undead Mage has not exceeded 200.
Surviving the brutal battles until today, the Undead Mages still residing on Blue Star have mostly been recruited by the Sea City Military Academy research group, totaling only around 60 individuals.
Fang Zhou is unsatisfied with such a scant professional base.
How can the scale of the Undead Mage profession be expanded?
Alternatively, from another perspective, how can the influence of the Spiritual Remains Lord be expanded beyond the Undead Mage profession?
Fang Zhou thought for a while and, lacking immediate inspiration, shrugged off the concern, deciding not to focus on these macro-level issues for the time being.
After all, he is merely an Undead Creature at the Silver Lower Rank and a Bronze Upper Rank Undead Mage.
The current resources are already sufficient for his development.
.......
Two hours later, the souls of these Undead Mage apprentices reached the meditative limit and were forced out of the meditation state.
They opened their eyes groggily, feeling exhausted to the point where they wished for nothing more than to collapse into sleep.
As for what they actually did during meditation, they could remember nothing.
However, there was a vague feeling of being bathed in the Blood Moon’s light and a deepened connection with the Undead Realm.
Yang Yuxin, suppressing her fatigue, cooperated with her mentor Maurice for a full-body examination.
She was pleasantly surprised to find her meditation efficiency had increased by a full thirty percent.
Other Undead Mage apprentices also experienced an increase of about twenty to thirty percent.
This was an incredibly drastic improvement.
Elated, these Undead Mage apprentices began detailed records and exchanges to reconstruct what might have happened during their meditation.
But under the powerful illusion Fang Zhou’s Spiritual Remains Lord Clone had deliberately set, these Undead Mage apprentices had no means to reconstruct the events.
The most reliable part is that Fang Zhou’s Undead Mage body, as a core researcher of the project group, could guide the group’s research direction in real-time.
He had also prepared a coherent logic and explanations that matched human Undead Mages’ understanding of the Undead Realm, providing a perfect explanation for the current phenomena.
There’s an old saying in the Longxia Federation, "One minute on stage takes ten years of practice behind the scenes."
It must be said that Fang Zhou’s previous reputation and fame within the Undead Mage research group and the entire Undead Mage community provided excellent endorsement for his plan this time.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, just as Fang Zhou had anticipated.
......
The research projects overseen by the Spiritual Remains Lord Clone were flourishing, while the main body welcomed his most anticipated stage.
Sea City Military Academy, Alchemy Workshop.
The ghostly green Alchemy Flame burned quietly in the Bronze Furnace Cauldron.
Fang Zhou stood at the center, with three precious Bronze-level Undead Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in front of him.
After making all necessary preparations, Fang Zhou finally began to craft the much-needed Potential Potion for the Bronze Rank.
Among the three Bronze-grade Undead Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Nether Soil Crystal was a fist-sized black crystal, covered in fine cracks, with countless spirits seemingly moving within.
Ghostly Cloud Moss was a semi-transparent mossy substance, emitting a faint blue light, cool and soft to touch.
Yin Soul Spirit Sand was silvery dust-like grains, each glimmering with a weak frosty glow.
