Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Gregor put the three items into a specially made lead-gray metal box and nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, let's go back."

After saying that, he grabbed Lynn's shoulder again, and with his other hand scattered several pieces of spatial crystals, forming a simple one-way teleportation magic array.

Good grief, they're so eager to do research they don't even care about saving money...

The two stepped inside, and a flash of gray light left only an empty energy pit in the stone cave, along with a group of stone golems that were gradually becoming confused and disintegrating.

Without "driving energy," they are just stones.

Upon returning to the lab, Gregor eagerly retrieved the symbiote sample and began his tireless research.

He placed the crystal cluster on a specially made energy stabilizing platform and analyzed its structure using various detection spells and rune arrays.

They then took out the "small stone" and the "mist spirit" to observe their reaction with the residual energy of the crystal cluster, attempting to reconstruct their complete symbiotic mechanism.

Lynn was responsible for assisting, recording data, and occasionally using [Analysis] to provide information on microscopic energy flows that were difficult for Gregor to observe.

Hmm... the most important thing is to keep an eye on that little stone so that Gregor doesn't mess it up.

Gregor naturally noticed Lynn's little scheme; the way the kid looked at the stone was like he was looking at a stunning beauty, it was hard not to notice.

Three days later, Gregor rubbed his cloudy eyes and pushed the two crystals that sealed the little stone and the mist spirit in front of Lynn.

"I have to keep the energy core crystal cluster. This thing involves some rules, and you can't touch it for now."

"Moreover, this stuff is valuable for my 'Death Metamorphosis' project! The collapse and restructuring of energy structures, the symbiosis and transformation of energy bodies with different properties..."

His voice was a little hoarse.

"These two little guys aren't at a high energy level...you can try raising them and see."

Lynn was overjoyed and took the crystal, feeling the faint pulse emanating from it.

I've been waiting for you to say that!

However, he soon thought of a problem.

"If they detach from the crystal cluster, can their symbiotic relationship still be maintained?"

"It's temporarily dormant, but the underlying connection structure is still there." Gregor yawned.

"If you gently nurture them using your own methods, you might be able to resonate with them and reactivate them into a symbiotic relationship."

"That might be of some help to you."

Lynn was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Does it replace the role of crystal clusters in supplying energy and form a symbiotic relationship with them?

The mist spirit doesn't matter, it's fine whether I have it or not, as long as it can resonate with the little stone.

"Study their abilities carefully, especially that stone core. Its essence is very pure, making it an excellent medium for energy transformation and harmonization."

"If you can find a suitable method to cultivate it, and with the right environment, it has the potential to evolve into a very good domain support core, and may even become one of the cornerstone materials for building your 'Stigmata' in the future."

"That Mist Spirit is also good. When used in conjunction with Stone Heart, it can form a very practical control field."

Clearly, Gregor did not realize the importance of the small stone and only used it as an "energy harmonizer".

Indeed, other wizards did not have the "analysis" cheat, and had no idea about the specific characteristics of the little stone or the "frequency" that resonated with it.

"Thank you, mentor!" Lynn said sincerely.

Although I discovered this opportunity myself, it was almost entirely thanks to my mentor's help, so it's understandable that he wouldn't share it with me.

"Hmm." Gregor waved his hand, his attention returning to the crystal cluster cube, muttering to himself.

"The efficiency of resentment conversion... the threshold for energy structure reorganization... perhaps we could try simulating this using negative energy etching..."

Alright, our dear supervisor is about to embark on another research frenzy.

Lynn stopped bothering them and couldn't wait to start examining the newly acquired "little stone".

Back in his small cubicle, Lynn gathered a wisp of gentle earth-elemental magical power at his fingertips and began to resonate with the resonance energy frequency spectrum deciphered by the [Analysis] function.

His magical power, like the gentlest tendrils, followed a specific vibrational rhythm, slowly seeping into the crystal's sealing barrier, touching the core consciousness of the essentially pure rock within.

At first, Lynn could only sense a chaotic silence, as if it were a real, stubborn rock.

Lynn remained calm and composed, steadily channeling his magical power, meticulously mimicking the frequency of Little Stone's "natural pulsation."

Time ticked by. Just as Lynn felt his mental and magical energy were significantly depleted and was preparing to rest—

hum...

Inside the crystal in the palm of his hand, the small gray-white stone vibrated very slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a tender, innocent, and slightly curious and dependent thought cautiously emerged, gently touching the magical power and thought that Lynn was continuously transmitting.

Become!

Lynn was overjoyed, and then he felt that his "medium" earth affinity talent was being stimulated by this pure earth vein consciousness, creating a kind of resonance.

Initial resonance has been established.

The parsing prompts are concise and clear.

Lynn was greatly encouraged; once this first step was achieved, the rest would be much easier.

Just like raising a pet, once you can get it to recognize you as its owner, it's much easier to build a bond later.

Lynn immediately took out a small pile of low-grade ore materials rich in earth element energy from the bone ring.

A few pieces of [inferior soil crystal fragments], [micro-luster stone powder], and a small pinch of [sinking iron sand].

Feeding is the best way to increase the intimacy between the two.

He gently placed the materials next to the crystal, thus releasing the seal on the small stone.

The natural patterns on the surface of the small stone glowed slightly, and a suction force came from it.

The earth-elemental energy within those mineral materials, as if summoned, transformed into wisps of pale yellow light that slowly seeped into the "body" of the small stone.

The material itself quickly turns grayish-white and brittle, eventually turning into a powder devoid of any energy.

After absorbing this energy, the thoughts that Little Stone transmitted to Lynn became noticeably more active, and that immature consciousness conveyed vague emotions of "satisfaction" and "wanting to eat more".

After all, they are just some low-grade ores, containing limited energy.

Lynn laughed. This little stone was really naive; he was feeding it like a greedy little beast.

While continuing to maintain a steady supply of gentle earth-based magical power to sustain the resonance, he also took out a small amount of ore to "feed" it.

At the same time, through resonance and connection, it continuously conveys comfort, encouragement, and simple friendly sentiments.

As the resonance deepened through nourishment and communication, Lynn felt that her connection with the earth beneath her feet and with the earth element energy around her became closer.
