Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 332 - 268: Alchemy Embryo, Pay-to-Win Mage! (Censored Edition)

Looking at the bewildered expression on Su Xinyan’s small face, Fang Zhou smiled faintly. He placed the raw ore back on the lab table and said gently, "Instructor Xinyan, it’s true. I’ve successfully taken on the Sub-profession of Alchemist.

"You don’t need to be so surprised. I just have a little bit of talent, that’s all. As for your theory that I learned alchemy from someone else, that’s absurd. You know my whereabouts for the past few days perfectly well. When would I have had the time to learn alchemy from other instructors?"

Seeing Instructor Su Xinyan pouting indignantly, Fang Zhou stepped forward and wrapped his arm around her waist. Squeezing it gently, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "My, my... Instructor Xinyan, you’re as beautiful as a flower, and your aura is simply unmatched! You look even more beautiful when you’re angry, haha! Besides, the fact I grasped alchemy so quickly, doesn’t that just prove what a good teacher you are, Instructor Xinyan?"

Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Fang Zhou for a few seconds. She then quickly turned to examine the raw ore on the lab table. After checking it again and again, she sighed with a hint of resignation.

Fang Zhou stood by, steady as a mountain, watching as she leaned despondently against the lab table. A flicker of heat burned within his teasing gaze.

"Come, Instructor Xinyan. You taught me alchemy, so I must reward you properly. I don’t want to be rough, so you’d better not struggle."

Su Xinyan’s delicate body trembled, her gaze drawn to Fang Zhou’s powerful physique.

"You’re at it again?!"

She wanted to refuse loudly, but for some reason, her heart was reluctant to part with his superb skills.

Fang Zhou grabbed her arm, trying to lift her up.

"Don’t touch me!"

Fang Zhou released her, only to spin her around to face the wall.

"Ahem, what... what are you doing?"

Su Xinyan’s upper body was pressed against the wall, her slender waist bent into a graceful arc. She struggled to turn her head to look back, her pale, tender hands reaching behind her in a desperate attempt to stop Fang Zhou’s massage.

"Giving you a massage."

Su Xinyan was now completely exposed to Fang Zhou’s gaze. Beneath her flawless, jade-like back, her pale, alluring, peach-like curves were tantalizingly pert. Fang Zhou bent down for a closer look, inhaling the faint, sweet fragrance wafting from her jade-white skin.

"Shall we have a proper alchemy lesson today?" Su Xinyan asked softly.

But Fang Zhou paid her no mind at all. Su Xinyan could no longer care about her posture; a wave of shame washed over her, making her wish she could disappear. She had no idea how long Fang Zhou would massage her this time.

Of course, Fang Zhou had no idea what was going through her mind. He had expended considerable effort just to manage a grand total of four strokes. Seeing that she was already looking exhausted, he didn’t push her any further. He casually picked up an irregular mineral crystal from the lab table, toying with it as he slowly sat down on the sofa.

A long time passed before Su Xinyan, her face flushed red, struggled to her feet. She made her way to the bathroom, her beautiful legs trembling slightly.

While Su Xinyan was in the bathroom showering and changing, Fang Zhou sat alone on the living room sofa. He adopted a relaxed, sprawling posture, holding his personal terminal and seizing the opportunity to play a few rounds of Magic Extermination War Chess.

Soon after, Su Xinyan emerged from the bathroom, having changed into a form-fitting long dress. Her damp hair cascaded gently over her shoulders, exuding a light, fresh scent. She carried with her an air of shyness that was utterly charming.

The sight of this beauty fresh from her bath made Fang Zhou’s fingers itch with desire. This time, however, no matter how he tempted her, Su Xinyan refused to try his massage again. To be honest, she was a little intimidated by the boundless energy of her young apprentice.

As a true gentleman, Fang Zhou would naturally not force someone to do something they didn’t want to. So, he stood up, walked over to Su Xinyan, picked up a comb, and began to gently and meticulously comb her wet hair.

Once she was ready and they were both neatly dressed, they returned to the Alchemy Laboratory to continue their lesson.

Standing before the lab table, Su Xinyan coughed lightly, noticing her voice was a bit hoarse. She recalled shouting too loudly in her earlier excitement, and a blush crept up her cheeks, a hint of shy helplessness in her eyes.

She turned and shot Fang Zhou a harsh glare. "Fang Zhou, take out that Sealed Bone Bell of yours. Now that you’ve mastered the basics of crafting and restoring an Alchemy Embryo, you can be considered to have officially entered the world of alchemy and successfully become an Alchemist. As an Apprentice Alchemist under my guidance, you should be more than capable of crafting or enhancing a Gray Inferior quality Marvel. Go on, give it a try."

Fang Zhou nodded and retrieved the Sealed Bone Bell, which sealed Gugu the Pearl Bird, from his Space Storage Capsule.

Instructor Su Xinyan had once told him that this Sealed Bone Bell was not a perfect alchemy product. It contained a subtle "backdoor"—an Alchemy Array that was not completely sealed. To unleash its full power, he needed to find and repair this gap. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Under Su Xinyan’s careful guidance, Fang Zhou cautiously examined the Bone Bell. After a period of exploration, he finally discovered an almost imperceptible mark on its side. There, a section of an alchemy rune appeared dimmer than the surrounding ones. This was the "backdoor" Instructor Su Xinyan had described.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Zhou selected several special materials from the nearby box, all of which had been specially prepared by his instructor for this lesson. He picked up a mineral fragment emitting a faint glow, a crucial component for enhancing the Alchemy Array within the Sealed Bone Bell.

Next, Fang Zhou carefully guided the activated mineral fragment to the gap in the Sealed Bone Bell. As the fragment merged with it, the gap began to close, and the alchemy runes grew brighter. When the final piece of material was perfectly integrated into the bell, the runes on its surface began to flash with a brilliant light.

Fang Zhou held the lively and adorable Gugu the Pearl Bird in one hand while gazing at the Sealed Bone Bell in the other. On his attribute panel, the information in the Marvels column for the Sealed Bone Bell had updated in real-time.

Just as Instructor Su Xinyan had said, his recent enhancement had greatly increased the power of the Sealed Bone Bell. It could now successfully seal creatures with a power level up to the upper Apprentice rank. For Fang Zhou, this meant he could now raise Gugu the Pearl Bird without worry.

Conveniently, he had just obtained several bottles of Insect Food Pills from Gu Yueyuan, which were designed to aid the growth and evolution of Flying Spirit Birds.

Fang Zhou opened a small bottle filled with multicolored Insect Food Pills. He took one out and offered it to the Pearl Bird. Gugu chirped happily and pecked at the pill, clearly enjoying the tasty treat.

Patting the little tuft of feathers on Gugu’s head, Fang Zhou estimated that at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the Pearl Bird broke through to the upper Apprentice level, matching his own strength.
