Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The laboratory door closed, and Lynn stood in the center of the room, looking around. Everything was exactly the same as when he left.

Activate the Soul Furnace and place it in a corner to operate; golden light shines through the crystal furnace walls onto the wall.

The dragon soul and the second main soul were placed in the furnace to settle, and then the low-level souls were released from the phase soul lamp.

Millions of hazy, gray orbs of light surged out from the soul lamp, crowding into the furnace like a swarm of trapped fireflies.

The dragon soul sensed these souls, opened its eyes, opened its mouth, and swallowed them one by one.

The second main soul, having received no orders from Lynn, could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

After consuming millions of souls, the aura of the Dragon Soul's main soul increased significantly, but no qualitative change occurred.

These low-level souls are of such poor quality that no matter how many there are, they can only be eaten as snacks and cannot overcome the shackles.

Lynn then sealed the souls and corpses of those professionals together one by one, and threw them into a corner of the undead space, letting the undead power inside slowly catalyze them.

After a while, these corpses will turn into ghosts on their own, and he won't need to worry about them.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Lynn first contacted Harold, then left the laboratory and went to Ghost Market.

Harold's shop was still the same as always: dim lighting, shelves piled high with unfinished products, and the air filled with the smell of machine oil and preservatives.

Harold practically lived in the shop, and at this moment he was dozing off behind the counter like any ordinary person.

Hearing the door open, he looked up sharply and his eyes lit up when he saw it was Lynn.

"Lord Lynn! You're finally back!" He emerged from behind the counter, rubbing his hands together.

"Many people have come to see you lately, and I've made appointments for them all. We're just waiting for you."

Lynn nodded. "Where is he?"

Harold gestured towards the inner room with his lip.

"I'm waiting. There are three in total, and I've already asked them all for you."

"One is the energy circulation problem of the construct, another is the conflicting enchantment runes, and the third is the ratio of alchemical potions. They are all long-time customers, and they know the rules."

Lynn went into the inner room, where three wizards were sitting and drinking tea.

When they saw him enter, they all stood up and bowed.

Now Lynn is not only a knowledgeable new wizard, but a proper third-ring archmage. Both his strength and knowledge deserve their respect.

Lynn waved his hand, indicating that they should sit down and not stand on ceremony, and then dealt with them one by one.

Regarding the energy loop issue of the construct, he glanced at the blueprints and pointed to three nodes.

Regarding the conflicting enchantment runes, he picked up the equipment, tapped it with his fingers, and pointed out the locations of the four runes.

Regarding the problem with the alchemical potion's proportions, he picked up the failed potion, smelled it, and rewrote the formula.

Three questions, all within a fraction of an hourglass.

The three wizards left with profuse thanks, each leaving behind a spatial bag.

Lynn opened the bag and counted the contents; there were a total of six thousand magic stones.

Well... as their skills improved, their "appearance fees" naturally increased significantly.

If I were to advance to the "Holy Mark" level, even a difficult problem would be worth 10,000 magic stones, which would be a very reasonable price.

Harold walked in carrying a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Lynn.

"Sir, with your skills, you could definitely make a fortune opening a shop."

Lynn took the teacup, took a sip, and didn't say anything.

I can earn a good amount this way, and I can also experience different worlds and cultures. Why not?

Harold didn't seem to mind, and continued, "You've been away for so long, you must have gained quite a bit this time?"

Lynn nodded. "It's alright."

Seeing that Lynn had little desire to talk, Harold wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

After finishing his tea, Lynn got up to say goodbye.

He left Harold's shop and strolled around Ghost Market.

He passed several material stalls along the way, stopped to look around, but couldn't find what he wanted.

As his skills improved, his horizons broadened, and the ordinary goods displayed at these stalls no longer caught his eye.

He walked deeper into the market and stopped in front of a shop that specialized in selling materials for corpse refining. He pushed open the door and went inside.

The shop owner was a gaunt old man, a peak first-level cultivator, with little expression on his face. Upon seeing Lynn's wizard robes, he stood up and bowed.

"What do adults need?"

"I need some materials to refine high-level undead, the blood essence of calamity-level magical beasts, preferably from order-type creatures, chaos crystals..." Lynn said.

That's right, Lynn plans to turn Leon into a ghost.

After listening carefully to Lynn's needs, the old man rummaged through the cabinet and took out a few items.

A jar of dark red liquid, said to be the heart's blood of a fallen four-winged angel from the Holy Light Plane, equivalent to the strength of a Cataclysmic or second-circle wizard.

A "chaotic crystal" originating from the depths of a chaotic storm can serve as a container to contain all energy.

A bundle of golden threads, known as "Soul Gold Threads," were created by a high-ranking alchemist using soul fragments and star gold.

There was also a bottle of light blue powder, which they said was stardust sand, capable of enhancing the energy conduction efficiency of the undead.

In addition, there are auxiliary materials such as Titan bone marrow, Tree of Life sap, and Styx sedimentary rocks.

Lynn scanned it with his mental power and confirmed that the quality was fine.

"How many magic stones?"

The old man quoted a price.

Lynn did not haggle, but counted out magic stones from the ring and placed them on the counter.

The old man wrapped up the materials and handed them over with both hands.

Lynn took the materials, left the shop, and returned to the laboratory to prepare to get started.

Lynn placed the materials he bought from the Ghost Market on the table and then took out Leon's corpse from the Undead Space.

Lynn placed the corpse on the lab table, closed his eyes, and probed the inside of the corpse with his mental energy.

After three months of being immersed in the power of the undead, Leon's physical body has undergone a fundamental change.

During his previous battle with Lynn, Leon was completely "darkened," and some of the divine power and negative emotions he absorbed from the remains of the gods were completely integrated with his flesh and blood, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

This is one of the reasons why he became a "divine calamity".

Now his skin is grayish-white, half of his body is covered with "blackened" demonic patterns, and the other half is covered with fine golden patterns, making him look extraordinary.

Lynn laid out the materials he had bought from Ghost Market one by one on the table.

The chaotic crystal, about the size of a fist, contained churning grayish-white mist inside, like a compressed storm.

The heart's blood of the four-winged angel, dark gold in color, was contained in a transparent crystal bottle and faintly glowed.

The Soul Gold Thread, a fine, golden thread, is wound around a bone spool. Each thread is as thin as a hair, yet extremely resilient.

Titan bone marrow, packaged in an iron can, was grayish-white, viscous, and resembled melted wax.

The sap of the Tree of Life is emerald green; when dripped onto the bottle wall, it flows on its own, as if it were alive.

Styx sedimentary rock, black in color, already refined and cut into neat squares.

Stardust, a pale blue powder, is stored in a leather bag; when shaken, it emits a subtle starlight.

There was also a Stable Rune Set, obtained from the Academy's exchange point, consisting of twelve rune stones, each engraved with dense patterns.
