Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 315 - 260: Part-Time Alchemist, Undead Resource Point!

"Of course, if none of those resources are available, then please, Senior Brother Gu, use your experience to see if there are any other resources I might be able to use. After all, as an experienced Insect Nest Walker, you definitely know better than I do which resources are truly valuable."

Hearing Fang Zhou’s words, Gu Yueyuan’s face took on an expression of difficulty. His brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. He mulled it over for a moment, seeming to weigh his options, before finally speaking. "Junior Brother Fang, I’m afraid I don’t have any of the exclusive resources an Undead Mage requires on hand.

"However, during a previous mission to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, I did discover some signs of undead activity. Based on what I learned at the military academy, this could very well indicate the existence of a relic with Undead Attributes. Because the roaming Undead Creatures were extremely troublesome, I didn’t dare venture too deep at the time and merely recorded the location. I can confirm that, at least to my knowledge, this location hasn’t been discovered by anyone else."

Gu Yueyuan’s eyes grew resolute, as if he had made a decision. He continued, "If you’re interested, I’d be more than willing to share the specific location of this potential resource point for Undead Attributes. In fact, if you wish, I can even accompany you to explore it. An extra person significantly increases our safety factor. In a place like the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, even highly trained people like us can’t afford to be careless."

Fang Zhou nodded without the slightest hesitation. He highly valued any information related to Undead Attribute resources. This was especially true for a potential treasure trove that no one had ever set foot in. Particularly now, since he had not yet fully developed an effective way to transfer resources between his main body and his Clone, he still had to rely on the resources produced on Blue Star and in the Mythical World. Considering this, the newly discovered resource point was especially important.

Seeing that Fang Zhou had agreed, Gu Yueyuan unhesitatingly sent a detailed map of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range and its coordinates to him. Fang Zhou immediately opened his personal terminal to check it, carefully examining every detail on the map.

As his gaze swept across it, he couldn’t help but feel surprised. He discovered that the Undead Attribute resource point Gu Yueyuan had provided wasn’t very far, in a straight line, from where Yue Pengfei had previously discovered the Naraku Civilization relic, the "Celestial Curtain Magic Bottle."

Gu Yueyuan, as the number one Seed Student of the second year, was far more powerful than his peers, having already reached the Lower Black Iron rank. Meanwhile, Yue Pengfei, an ordinary third-year student, and his team members were also at the Lower Black Iron rank. Therefore, the areas that both parties could explore were more or less the same.

Although Gu Yueyuan, a one-man-army Insect Nest Walker, likely surpassed an ordinary Warrior like Yue Pengfei in individual combat prowess, Yue Pengfei had the support of his well-coordinated academy team. Their collective combat strength was certainly greater than Gu Yueyuan’s alone.

A rare relic of the Naraku Civilization. Roaming Undead Creatures. For these creations with Undead Attributes to appear concentrated in such a small, narrow area...

This couldn’t help but spark a bold guess in Fang Zhou’s mind.

Perhaps some exclusive Undead Attribute resources really were hidden there. It was even highly likely that the place was a Spatial Fragment of an ancient Naku Civilization relic.

This speculation made Fang Zhou’s heart pound. An unprecedented wave of excitement and anticipation surged through his chest. But he knew this wasn’t the time to show his emotions. His recent studies and experiences had taught him how to remain calm in any situation. So, he remained outwardly composed, betraying no hint of the storm brewing within him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He nonchalantly closed his personal terminal, nodded to Gu Yueyuan, and said, "Senior Brother Gu, I won’t be qualified to explore this place until I break through my bottleneck and advance to the Black Iron rank. That’s still a ways off for me. When I’m strong enough, I might have to trouble you to accompany me."

The deeper meaning behind his words was obvious. The map marking the coordinates of the exclusive Undead Attribute resources alone was not enough to exchange for such a wealth of materials.

Gu Yueyuan was no fool and immediately understood the unspoken message. He unhesitatingly opened his Space Storage Capsule again, selected a few items, and carefully pushed them in front of Fang Zhou.

"Fang Xuedi," Gu Yueyuan said warmly, "as for the Spirit-restoring or Soul Nourishment resources you mentioned earlier, I really don’t have any more to trade. However, I have a few little things I’ve crafted myself that might be useful to you."

With that, he pointed to a delicate data transmission key, an important achievement of his after becoming an Alchemist.

"Our profession, the Insect Nest Walker, relies heavily on all kinds of potions for Cultivation and combat. Therefore, the very moment I broke through to the Black Iron rank, I chose Alchemist as my Sub-profession. This key stores the Skill Books and my personal notes on how I successfully obtained the Alchemist Sub-profession. It not only contains formulas for basic potions but also records some special recipes passed down through generations of Insect Nest Walkers. For example, there are practical potions for repelling insects, concealing them, dissolving corpses, and eliminating odors. The formulas for these potions are kept confidential within the Insect Nest Walker profession and are rarely made public. I’m willing to share them with you because I recognize your potential."

Then, his gaze shifted to the dozen or so colorful potion bottles placed to the side.

"These are some potions I’ve meticulously crafted recently. While their quality isn’t top-tier, they’re quite decent for an Apprentice-level user. Consider them a little gift."

Fang Zhou steadily took the data transmission key from Gu Yueyuan, a sense of anticipation building within him. He inserted the key into his personal terminal. As the screen lit up, lines of text and complex formulas appeared before his eyes.

Fang Zhou gave it a quick browse, and his understanding grew. Just as Gu Yueyuan had said, this data was like an introductory guide for those hoping to take on the Alchemist Sub-profession. If a person had a certain Talent for alchemy, they should be able to master the necessary Skills to become an Alchemist by relying on the detailed procedures and steps in this Skill Book.

Seeing the flicker of satisfaction in Fang Zhou’s expression, Gu Yueyuan seized the opportunity to add, "Fang Zhou Xuedi, if you’re interested in the Alchemist Sub-profession, feel free to come find me to discuss it anytime. I have some talent in this area and might even be able to develop some new, practical formulas. I’d be happy to share those research findings with you."

Fang Zhou nodded in agreement. Then, he began to carefully examine the various potions Gu Yueyuan had handed him. When he picked up a bottle labeled "Insect Food Pill," he paused for a moment, his curiosity piqued.

"Senior Brother Gu, what’s the special purpose of this Insect Food Pill? Is it for feeding your Insect Nest army? We human Professionals don’t seem to need something like this, do we?"

Hearing this, Gu Yueyuan gave a slightly embarrassed smile and began to explain in detail. "This is one of my new research projects. For us human Professionals, the Insect Food Pill has no direct use. However, for creatures that feed on insect-type Demons, this Insect Food Pill is extremely alluring."
