Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 505 - 364: Soul Crystal? Clone’s Further Evolution!
Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal again and browsed the logistics department’s resource library, carefully selecting some Cultivation Resources that would be useful to him. He chose several Undead Attribute Alchemy Materials that had accumulated over time, which were crucial for his next step in Alchemy. Furthermore, he selected several Black Iron-tier cultivation materials. These resources would help him better consolidate and enhance his Cultivation.
Next, he needed to rapidly accumulate Soul Power through his Corpse Clone’s hunting and slaughter to learn and deduce new Skills. Fang Zhou’s heart was filled with determination. The successful deduction of the Corpse Commander Meditation Method was merely his first step at the Black Iron Tier. Next up were the deductions of Summoning Series Skills, Corrosive Poison Series Skills, the enhancement of Skeleton Series Skills, and improvements to various Beneficial Skills. It’s a daunting, long-term task.
In the dormitory, Fang Zhou stood up from the portable Concentration Meditation Array and gently stretched his muscles and bones. A faint meditation aroma permeated the air, lending a sense of peace and comfort. Then he took out the Mirror of the Heart he had received in exchange from Gu Yueyuan and gently wiped it.
Ever since Fang Zhou had broken through his bottleneck and advanced to the Black Iron Tier, the Soul Nourishment effect provided by this Mirror of the Heart, which was stuck at the Gray Inferior stage due to damage, had become almost imperceptible.
Playing with the crack-filled Mirror of the Heart in his hand, Fang Zhou recalled his discussion with Instructor Su Xinyan. He had discussed the Mirror of the Heart with her during his recent Cultivation, especially while studying Alchemy. She had mentioned that a Marvel like the Mirror of the Heart had likely been excavated from the ruins of some ancient civilization. Based on her years of experience and expertise in Alchemy, she proposed several potential repair methods, giving Fang Zhou hope that the Mirror of the Heart could be repaired.
Now, all he had to do was accumulate enough Soul Power and wait for Su Xinyan to organize and pass on the information for advanced Alchemy. Then, he could begin his advancement to a Basic Level Alchemist. By then, Fang Zhou would have the ability to refine or repair Marvels of White Common quality. According to his plan, the repair of this damaged Marvel, the Mirror of the Heart, could then be put on the schedule. Unfortunately, according to the repair method Su Xinyan had planned, some rare Spirit Attribute Alchemy Materials were still lacking.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal, entered the resource library of the Navy Military Academy, and began searching for the required Alchemy Materials. Although Instructor Su Xinyan had provided some repair suggestions, her plan was still missing several rare Spirit Attribute materials, such as Dream Rose Petal Powder and Heart Cleansing Spring. These materials were not only rare but also often difficult to obtain. Fortunately, Fang Zhou found some other Spirit Attribute materials in the resource library. He added these discovered Alchemy Materials to his shopping cart, preparing to purchase them once he advanced to a Basic Level Alchemist and had a sufficient surplus of contribution points.
Fang Zhou now stood at the starting point of the Black Iron Tier, where everything presented a brand new challenge.
According to his current plan, the next period of his Cultivation would also be very busy. The enhancement of his Soul Power, in particular, would mainly rely on his Corpse Clone hunting and devouring in the Undead Realm. The amount of Soul Power siphoned by the Corpse Clone through its Apostle function was just a drop in the bucket and needed to be increased.
Additionally, when Fang Zhou had first obtained the Mirror of the Heart, he had extracted some Soul Crystals from it, gaining some Soul Power. This gave him a hypothesis. Perhaps some ancient relics, baptized by the Power of Time, still retained Soul Power that the attribute panel could absorb. Although he had not yet encountered such a situation a second time, he knew that if the opportunity arose, he definitely couldn’t miss the chance to study these ancient artifacts in depth.
How can I get access to more ancient, historically rich relics from other civilizations, like the Mirror of the Heart? Fang Zhou recorded this question in the memo of his personal terminal to ask his instructors and senior cadets later. Perhaps they can provide some valuable clues or suggestions.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhou was also considering how to increase his contribution points. His combat capability was not yet fully formed, so it was not suitable for him to undertake high-risk combat missions. In contrast, acquiring academy rewards and research grants by deducing and perfecting new Skills was undoubtedly a more stable method. This income was already quite considerable for the current Fang Zhou, sufficient to support his daily Cultivation and purchase necessary materials.
Fang Zhou was in no rush to enhance his Four-dimensional Attributes. He had experienced a significant boost from taking an Attribute Secret Medicine before, but now he valued long-term, stable progress more. The attribute feedback from the Corpse Clone, the Soul Nourishment from Meditation, and the absorption of the Life Crystal all required time and persistence.
As for Equipment, Fang Zhou was already equipped with a full set of White Common-quality gear, meaning he was fully equipped for his current stage. If he wanted to upgrade further to Green Excellent-quality Equipment, it seemed unrealistic for now due to a lack of the necessary channels and authorization.
In terms of his Profession, Fang Zhou already possessed two crucial specialties: "Magic Conductor" and "Strong Undead Summoning."
