Little Steamed Buns, Do You Understand?

Inside the slender Frog, the Butterfly Girl's uterus was like a bottomless black hole, frantically tearing at the little energy left in her body, barely emitting a faint white light.

Compared to the uterus, the liver, spleen, lungs, and gallbladder—these essential organs for life—are like malnourished peaches, barely hanging on the flesh and blood.

It was as if, if one were not careful, it could fall out of the flesh and blood.

The contrast was almost unbearable to look at, but at this moment, the Butterfly Girl's heart was radiating a dazzling red light, like the sun occupying a place in this body, and with each thumping beat, streams of fresh blood were pumped out.

With the replenishment of fresh blood, the Butterfly Girl's complexion gradually improved. Although it wasn't as flushed as a normal person's, it wasn't as deathly pale as it had been when she first entered.

Clearly, the heart withstood the uterus's attack, and the uterus itself was also becoming much more active, as if the unformed Embryo inside had begun to develop again.

"This is also..."

Sandrew was incredulous at what he was seeing. Although Gegwu had praised Li Ziran's skill in replacing the heart, he now realized just how amazing it was after witnessing it firsthand.

From removal to replacement, it's practically the work of a god.

"Li, amazing! A hundred times better than that Beast Race Witch Doctor!" Sandrew praised awkwardly.

"Not perfect yet!" Li Ziran smiled modestly. "The heart, liver, spleen, and lungs are the five essential organs of the human body. Only when all five organs become Magic Organ can the normal development of the fetus be basically guaranteed. However, that's only at a normal level. To achieve good development, the bone marrow needs to be replaced so that the blood can transport Elemental Tide. The skin also needs to be replaced to make it more sensitive to the existence of Elemental Tide. But to achieve perfection, all 78 organs in the body must be transplanted. Of course, she has a uterus, so one less is acceptable."

Li Ziran's incessant talking not only did not annoy Sandrew, but made him very happy.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!" Sandrew's eyebrows almost flew off his face with a smile. "Quick, quick, the surgery right away! What materials do you need? I'll get them ready for you right now."

Li Ziran rolled his eyes; it wasn't as easy as he thought.

This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project.

He didn't even start the surgery; Sandrew was just using him as free labor.

Although the vast number of Elves here could greatly enhance his knowledge of organs, his real purpose in entering the Mage Tower was not to do hard labor.

Undead spells.

Sandrew had personally promised to teach him magic for an hour.

"Master, organ transplants can't be rushed. I need to find the most suitable organs for the Butterfly Girl from among so many Elves. It's very exhausting. This girl is physically weak, and she needs time to adapt to each transplanted organ. I'm really tired now, and it's getting late. You promised me, Corpse Witch ..."

Before Li Ziran could finish speaking, Sandrew seemed to remember what he had been instructed to do, and laughed heartily, "Right, right, right, look at my memory, I almost forgot. Come on, let's go to my cultivation room."

He was very generous, and pulled Li Ziran along as they headed to the fifth floor, acting like a close friend.

The training room was smaller, and it was filled with magic books. The bookshelves were lined up one after another, and in the very center of the bookshelves was a futon for sitting cross-legged. In front of the futon was a small pool that looked like a sand table, and the pool was filled with bone powder.

This is called Essence Bone Powder.

Li Ziran had seen it in Gegwu's magic tower; it was extracted by Necromancer from Goblins skulls. This Essence Bone Powder could form a unique structure under the influence of mental power.

Necromancer typically use this bone powder to construct Undead while studying Oracle Bone Script; of course, only powerful figures like Archmage can afford it.

Goblins only inhabit a few swamps, they are extremely rare, and getting their heads is no easy feat.

One carat can sell for one gold coin, and this small pool in front of us contains nearly ten thousand gold coins.

"Come, come, sit down. You want to learn Corpse Witch Summoning, right?" Sandrew pressed Li Ziran down on the meditation cushion, giving him no room to breathe, and began to explain, "Summoning Corpse Witch is actually very simple. You just need to combine your mental power and Necrotic Force, and then mark specific points. These are called marking points, also known as bone points. Then, using a threading technique, you pull out bone threads from the marking points, and connect these marking points together through the bone threads. Finally, it merges into the Oracle Bone Script in the center. I've already taught you the Oracle Bone Script Witch Glyph; it's the character for 'lich.' This way, the whole thing forms a magic circle. After the magic circle merges with the corpse, Corpse Witch is born. Because your mental power is mixed into the Necrotic Force, you can control it with your mental power. Do you understand?"

Despite the eloquent explanation, Li Ziran was able to understand it. He had carefully studied the memories left by Sandrew and had deconstructed the Oracle Bone Script multiple times.

But theory is theory, and practice is practice. Summoning Corpse Witch is not as simple as one might imagine.

"Now that you understand, let's begin. I think you can summon the Corpse Witch in half an hour," Sandrew said with a chuckle.

Li Ziran had no confidence at all. He took off a Frog, dripped it with blood, and it gradually turned into Medusa's corpse.

He wanted to turn Medusa's corpse into Corpse Witch.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly channeled the limited Necromantic Power within his body. This was the inheritance Karen had given him last time, and he still didn't know which organ produced this Necromantic Power.

But his mental power could detect it; it was a cold, thread-like energy.

Following Sandrew's instructions, Li Ziran deliberately twisted his mental energy and energy clusters together, like making a twisted rope, for over a dozen turns.

"Alright, alright, stop being so persistent, it's a waste of energy, start marking!" Sandrew urged impatiently.

Li Ziran opened his eyes and stared directly at Medusa's brow. His spiritual power shot out like an arrow, and through her skin, a white spot of light landed right in the center of her brow.

It's done!

A surge of joy welled up inside me; this was the first step.

Perfect!

Snap!

Sandrew slapped Li Ziran hard on the back of the head. "What kind of marker is this? Are you confused? It's a dot, a round one. Are you Necromancer? How come you don't even know this? It's round, like a little steamed bun, understand?"

Small steamed buns?

Li Ziran looked at his own; it was flat, not convex enough.

He forced the marker to bulge with his mental power, but as soon as he exerted force, his mental power, carrying the Undead Force, burst out from between his eyebrows and dissipated in the air.

"You!"

Before Sandrew's voice could reach him, Li Ziran tried to dodge; that slap had hurt too much.

"Continue!" Sandrew roared at Li Ziran, his voice like that of an enraged Lion.

Whew! Whew!

Li Ziran took two deep breaths in succession. It felt as if the gentle Sandrew had suddenly become a different person. Without hesitation, he quickly gathered his Necrotic Force.

This time I was much more careful, focusing almost all my attention on Necrotic Force.

The Necrotic Force penetrated the skin, slowly swelling up, and under the guidance of spiritual power, it tried to transform into a small steamed bun.

Call!

I let out a long sigh of relief. At least it looks like a steamed bun now.

"How long do you plan to take?" Sandrew's question suddenly came through. "The Corpse Witch has ninety-six markers; you're planning to mark them until tomorrow, aren't you?"

Li Ziran had no room for argument and hurriedly used his mental power to mobilize the Necrotic Force to begin marking the roots of his ears. Although he was being careful, the marks he made were far from as round as the little steamed buns.

"Useless! I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! Mark the point, little steamed bun! How many times have I told you? Round and plump! Haven't you ever seen a steamed bun? The white and tender kind! Oh, you're driving me crazy!" Sandrew circled Li Ziran, almost fainting from anger. "I really don't understand how you had the Courage Organ to become Necromancer. When I was Apprentice, I learned it in one go, and you..."

Li Ziran felt a chill run down his spine, but the more he felt this way, the worse his marking became. With just one marking point, his mental energy was completely depleted.

"Out of mental energy?" Sandrew suddenly sneered. "Serves you right. I've never seen anyone dawdle like you. If you could Corpse Witch Summoning like this, Necromancer would be extinct. What are you standing there for? Go meditate. You're wasting your mental energy here."

Li Ziran could only stand up; when he came out of Sandrew's training room, he was completely dazed.

Even he himself couldn't help but doubt himself: was he really that incompetent?

He intended to say goodbye to Sandrew, but through the crack in the door, he could still hear Sandru's incessant cursing. "Idiot! I've never seen anyone so stupid! Useless trash, wasting half an hour on a single marker, a piece of trash from the Necromancer Realm."

At this moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he could understand the situation.

Today was only his first time encountering Undead, and being able to mark ten points in a row was already quite a success.

But this level is far from meeting Sandrew's requirements. It seems that if he wants to learn Corpse Witch summoning, he really has to work hard.

It was hard-won that I got Sandrew's guidance.

Such an opportunity should not be missed.

"Go back and buy two small steamed buns, and observe them carefully!" Li Ziran made up his mind. Since the markings were inaccurate, he would start with the actual product.
