Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 572 - 400: War Summon Order, the Great Savior of the Forest of Nature

The Sleeping Nether Soil is an extremely precious Undead-Attribute alchemy resource that can be used to craft many high-level magical artifacts and potions, enhancing a user’s undead manipulation ability or strengthening the power of their soul.

This item was a rare treasure, even on the black market.

Not to mention the other students, even Fang Zhou was momentarily stunned.

I can’t believe coming to this Treasure Appraisal Event was the right decision! Fang Zhou cheered inwardly but maintained a calm expression, pretending to be deep in thought.

In truth, there was no need to even think about it. He had wanted the resource the moment he laid eyes on it.

His Gray-Inferior quality Flower of Sighs could no longer exert its comprehensive enhancement effects after he broke through his bottleneck and advanced to the Black Iron rank.

Thanks to Instructor Su Xinyan’s analysis, Fang Zhou understood the root of the problem. The material originally used to create the Flower of Sighs was of limited quality and unable to withstand higher levels of energy.

Back then, by a stroke of luck and without having systematically studied Alchemy, Fang Zhou had completed a natural alchemical process using the attribute panel. The techniques involved were seamlessly integrated and incredibly ingenious.

However, this material shortcoming severely limited the Marvel’s effectiveness.

Instructor Su Xinyan had lamented several times that if he had a chance to upgrade the quality of the Flower of Sighs’ materials by a single grade, its naturally formed alchemical craftsmanship would allow the Marvel to remain useful to Fang Zhou for a very long time.

Since advancing to the Black Iron rank, Fang Zhou had spent considerable effort searching the trading channels on his personal terminal for Undead-Attribute alchemy resources to enhance his Flower of Sighs. However, his repeated searches had yielded no results.

Most resources on the market were either of insufficient quality or too expensive, far exceeding what Fang Zhou could afford.

Ultimately, Fang Zhou could only reluctantly shelve the idea, focusing his energy on daily training and tasks instead.

He truly hadn’t expected this. It was a classic case of finding what you need when you’re not even looking.

Fang Zhou hadn’t held high expectations for this Treasure Appraisal Event. For him, such an occasion was more about showcasing and networking than actual trading. But who would have thought he’d encounter the perfect Undead-Attribute alchemy material to enhance his Flower of Sighs—the Sleeping Nether Soil?

Sleeping Nether Soil could not only significantly raise the quality of an Undead Marvel but also enhance the user’s soul power to a certain extent.

This material was so rare that even experienced Alchemists struggled to acquire it.

As long as he could get his hands on it, Fang Zhou was confident he could enhance the Flower of Sighs to White-Common quality or higher with Instructor Su Xinyan’s assistance.

He was determined to make this trade. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal, quickly drafted a trade contract, and sent it to the student. The two engaged in fierce bargaining over their terminals, but Fang Zhou’s sincerity and reasonable offer eventually won the other party over. He traded two precious sets of Skeleton Warhorse reins for the small basin of Sleeping Nether Soil.

After the transaction was complete, Fang Zhou cheerfully stepped down from the Treasure Appraisal Platform and returned to his seat.

According to the event’s rules, there were three more rounds of bartering, but they no longer concerned him. Aside from his contribution points and Soul Power, he had already used every other resource at his disposal to enhance his combat strength.

No matter how lively the rest of the Treasure Appraisal Event became, Fang Zhou could only be a spectator, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to arise.

Several days later, Fang Zhou stood in his cultivation chamber, looking around with mixed feelings.

The alchemical tools hanging on the walls and the empty material racks were a silent testament to his recent hard work.

After the fierce bargaining at the trade fair, he had finally converted all his newly acquired resources into his foundation for cultivation.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but find it amusing that, in a way, he was broke once again.

The reason for this was simple: to acquire the resources critical to his advancement, Fang Zhou had unhesitatingly traded away all of his previously stockpiled materials.

Furthermore, the once self-sustaining cycle of gaining Soul Power and contribution points had temporarily stagnated after all the skills of his Undead Mage and Corpse Clone were deduced to their absolute limit.

After all, perfecting Skill Deduction was not something he could achieve by blindly using the attribute panel like a headless chicken. Every function of the attribute panel was built upon the foundation of his own knowledge. Without relevant ideas for Skill Deduction and a sufficient accumulation of Skill Materials, using the attribute panel to consume Soul Power for deductions was as inefficient as searching for a needle in a haystack.

Fang Zhou wasn’t extravagant enough to do that just yet.

Currently, all the Black Iron-level Universal Skills mastered by the Corpse Clone had been converted into Extreme Enhancement versions. These new versions were far more suitable for being powered by Death Energy.

This meant not only a significant boost to the skills’ power and effects, but more importantly, a great increase in their flexibility and adaptability in practical application.

The Corpse Clone’s combat power had already improved tremendously. This was without even factoring in the attribute growth from its recent grueling battles and hunts against the Skeleton Lord’s Skeleton Battle Group in the Skeleton Hills.
