Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 46: Eastern Undead System (Please Read!)
"Mr. Guo's guiding stones are of excellent quality. This time I finally got what I wanted." Jiang Yuan had a smile on his face and did not hesitate to praise.

"No, no," Guo Liyu quickly waved his hand. "You're incredibly gifted to be able to awaken the Space Element. So many high-level magicians have longed to awaken the Space Element, but none have succeeded."

This is very true.

Xiaomian nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuan felt that Guo Liyu suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

Guo Liyu smiled widely and handed over his business card: "This is my business card. If you need a Guiding Stone in the future, just call the number above."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Yuan took the business card and put it away carefully.

Now that the magic is awakened, it's time to go back to school.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's receding figure, Guo Liyu suddenly turned around and asked Xiaomian beside him, "You should know where his student dormitory is, right?"

"what?"

Xiaomian was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and nodded quickly, saying, "I don't know, but you can find out by asking around. Student dormitories aren't exactly a secret."

"That's good." Guo Liyu nodded slightly, with a meaningful light flashing in his eyes.

Time flies and a few days pass in a flash.

Jiang Yuan's life remains the same as before.

Besides meditation, I also go to classes.

His course schedule is not tight, with only one or two classes a week.

Only those magic students who delve into the field of magic research will have more courses.

Other students mainly learn basic knowledge and combat skills related to magic and demons, and there are not too many complicated courses.

Jiang Yuan had just finished half a day of meditation.

After lunch, I walked to the classroom.

There is a necromancy course in the afternoon, and the main teacher is Qin Yun.

When he arrived at the classroom, the empty classroom could accommodate forty people, but at this moment he was the only one there.

Jiang Yuan felt inexplicably lonely.

In the past, when I went to class, I at least had classmates to accompany me, but now I am all alone.

He couldn't help but think of the ancient capital, wondering if there were many necromancers there.

Just thinking about it.

Qin Yun pushed the door open and walked in.

He didn't have any teaching aids in his hands. As soon as he came in, he greeted with a smile on his face: "Here you are, Jiang Yuan. Have you eaten?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, Qin Yun dragged over a chair next to the podium and sat down opposite Jiang Yuan. He said, "Since there are only two of us in the classroom, we won't stick to the traditional teaching format. It's more comfortable to communicate face to face."

Jiang Yuan agreed with this proposal very much.

In fact, he always felt that Qin Yun did not have the airs of a teacher, but rather was more like his elder.

But it is true that Qin Yun has already planned to devote all his efforts to training Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan waited for Qin Yun to start his lecture.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yun asked a question first.

"Do you know who created the Undead?" Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation. "I know there are two creators of the Undead. One is our country's ancient king, and the other is the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu."

"That's right." Qin Yun's eyes flashed with admiration, and then asked:

"The Undead system was created by two different people, one in the East, the other in faraway Egypt, and the time periods are also very different. What do you think are the differences in the Undead systems they created?"

As Qin Yun spoke, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp "tapping" sound.

different?

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there's much difference, but the types of undead are different. The most famous undead in our country are zombies, while in Egypt they are mummies."

He paused, then added, "Also, the Eastern Undead hide during the day and come out at night, fearing sunlight. The Western Undead, however, can move freely within the area covered by the Dark Light."

With Jiang Yuan's current knowledge of the undead, this is all he can say.

After listening to this, Qin Yun stood up, picked up the chalk and started writing on the blackboard.

The three big words "Undead" were written at the top of the blackboard.

"Eastern Undead System" and "Western Undead System" are written below respectively.

"In fact, according to the ancients' classification, there are significant differences between the Eastern and Western Undead. The Eastern Undead originated from ancient Chinese esoteric techniques such as corpse-raising and ghost-raising. The Western Undead evolved from the immortality brought about by a curse."

"The necromancy systems of both sides carry their own cultures, and each level of necromancy magic is developed from their own secret techniques."

Having said this, Qin Yun continued with a tone of regret that was hard to conceal:

"Our Eastern Undead sect also had a glorious and prosperous period. Unfortunately, after a great undead catastrophe several hundred years ago, all necromancers were purged. Since then, the Eastern Undead sect has rapidly declined."

"Our unique mystical arts of the dead were lost in the long river of history, while the Western dead arts have continued to thrive to this day."

"This has led to the current undead system being completely dominated by the Western undead system, and the undead magic used is also a Western system full of slavery and oppression."

After Qin Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with nostalgia for the glorious days of the Eastern Undead System.

Even though he didn't experience that period.

But as a necromancer, just hearing about that period of time makes me yearn for it.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had long guessed that there must be obvious differences between the undead systems of the East and the West.

Now it seems that it is true.

"Too much powerful Eastern undead magic has been lost." Qin Yun sighed again, his face full of regret.

"Then teacher, do you know any lost Eastern undead magic?" Jiang Yuan suddenly became interested.

In the necromancy materials he had read before, there were very few references to the Eastern necromancy secrets. Most of them were like Qin Yun, lamenting the loss of the Eastern necromancy secrets.

Qin Yun nodded and said, "I know a little bit. However, some time ago, some ancient books of unknown age were unearthed in my ancestral home. They recorded three kinds of necromancy secrets."

"The first is Soul Extraction. By performing this secret technique, one can directly extract the complete soul power from a living demon and condense it into spirit essence."

"The second is the Soul Sealing Technique, which can seal energy entities like ghosts within a vessel, endowing it with unfathomable powers. Many ancient vessels that have survived to this day are crafted using the Soul Sealing Technique."

"The last one is the Ghost Devouring Technique. Practitioners who perform this technique can directly devour the undead, absorbing their power and transforming themselves into a similar undead being. Moreover, according to ancient records, there seems to be no upper limit to the practice of this secret technique."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's mind instantly emerged with the image of Zhong Kui, the master of the undead recorded in historical records.

According to legend, Zhong Kui grew into a top necromancer in a very short period of time.

And the most well-known legend is that he swallowed evil spirits.

Could it be that Zhong Kui mastered the art of swallowing ghosts?
