It was midday when Zhong Shenxiu, accompanied by Robin and Kaybia, set out for the "Undead Association."

It was not for any grand reason, but simply to introduce the "Sunscreen Pills" and "Skin Cleansing Cream" he had refined to the market.

When Charlotte and the others heard that Kenny and her group were heading out again, and leaving them behind, they couldn't help but feel stifled, a deep sense of abandonment washing over them.

No one could have anticipated such a coincidence. As Zhong Shenxiu and his two companions walked forward, they were spotted by two of Norwin’s classmates.

Brant’s body stiffened, and he grabbed Edgar, who was striding ahead.

Edgar looked at Brant in confusion, about to ask what was wrong, only to see Brant gesturing emphatically toward the side, his expression screaming, "Look over there, quickly!"

Edgar followed the direction Brant indicated. He froze instantly.

Walking on the stone steps across the way were three figures: an unparalleled beauty, and two very small children!

Any one of these three individuals alone was enough to shock Edgar and Brant. First, Kenny’s beauty gave them a feeling of soul-stirring enchantment; they could hardly believe such a perfect woman existed in the world. Second, the sudden sight of Zhong Shenxiu and Robin immediately brought Norwin and Cherry’s warnings crashing back into their minds!

Their eyes followed Zhong Shenxiu’s group until they passed through the main gate, unblinking, unable to regain their composure for a long time, as if their souls had been snatched away.

The two friends stood there, stunned for an unknown duration, until a shout from behind brought them back to reality.

"Hey, what are you two doing? Don't wander off aimlessly, you might get lost!" It was Isaac, speaking as he strolled slowly toward them.

It seemed he too had gotten restless in his room and wandered out.

Brant and Edgar paid no attention to Isaac, instead exchanging a glance, both seeing sheer horror reflected in the other’s eyes!

"Hey, are you two sick or something?" Isaac reached the pair, and seeing their bizarre expressions, couldn't help but tease them.

Brant and Edgar turned to Isaac simultaneously, yet still remained silent, their eyes fixed blankly, as if they didn't recognize Isaac at all!

"Hey, did you two go silly?" Isaac chuckled again. He expected a retort, but strangely found them lifeless, as if they had lost their souls.

"Could it be that my magnificent appearance has rendered you speechless?" Isaac adopted a somewhat presumptuous air.

This time, Edgar finally managed to speak, though not with a rebuttal, but by posing a very strange question: "You—you didn't see it just now?"

"See? See what??" Isaac truly did not understand what Brant was implying.

"There—there was an unparalleled beauty," Edgar began, but Isaac cut him off.

"Unparalleled beauty? Where? I didn't see anyone," Isaac asked while scanning the surroundings. Finding nothing, he couldn't resist a jab. "Edgar, since when did you start paying attention to beautiful women?"

Edgar showed no sign of anger. He simply continued his previous thought: "I—I two saw those two children."

"What?" This time, Isaac was the one who froze, staring intensely at Edgar, as if demanding he repeat himself.

However, Edgar seemed oblivious to Isaac’s expression, falling silent instead and sinking into deep thought.

"Hey, hey, what is going on?" Isaac grew increasingly curious. He couldn't grasp why these two had changed so drastically after just a short outing; anyone watching might think they were possessed!

"We just saw a beautiful woman pass by nearby with two children. Those two children must be the ones Norwin mentioned!" Brant interjected.

"Two children? You mean the two children Norwin described as incredible?" Isaac’s eyes lit up.

Brant nodded, unsure how to articulate the feeling currently gripping him.

"Really? What do they look like? Do they actually have three heads and six arms?" The light in Isaac’s eyes intensified.

"They look no different from ordinary children. And—" Brant trailed off, as if hesitant to continue.

"And what?" Isaac pressed.

"And both of them should be under ten years old!" Brant said this with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Incredible children under ten years old?" Isaac exclaimed, then seemed to recall something else. He hurriedly asked, "Hey, how strong are they? Did you two try testing them?"

As he spoke, he leaned conspiratorially toward them, adopting the expression of someone promising utmost secrecy.

"No!" Brant shook his head. "We just watched them leave through the main gate."

"Why didn't you try them out?" Isaac immediately adopted an expression of profound disappointment. "What a perfect opportunity you two just wasted! Surely you don't actually believe everything Norwin said, do you?"

At this point, Edgar seemed to have fully recovered. Hearing Isaac’s comment, he rolled his eyes and snapped back testily, "If you think so much of it, you can test them next time. We absolutely won't interfere!"

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Isaac replied with a look of fearless bravado.

"Elder!"

As soon as Zhong Shenxiu and his group entered the "Undead Association," several Necromancers rushed to meet them; clearly, they already knew Zhong Shenxiu.

"Where is your Guild Master?" Zhong Shenxiu asked, looking up.

"We have gone to fetch him. He will be here shortly!" one Necromancer replied with extreme deference.

Just as he said, it wasn't long before Faraday and Stanley came rushing over in a flurry.

"Elder, you have arrived!" Faraday was so respectful it was as if a grandson had met his patriarch, but this attitude wasn't feigned; it was deeply felt. After all, Zhong Shenxiu had granted him a new life. In his eyes, Zhong Shenxiu was a godlike entity!

"Follow me!" Zhong Shenxiu wasted no words on pleasantries, heading straight for the reception room they had used before!

Faraday and Stanley dared not question him, following closely behind Zhong Shenxiu. However, they had a general idea of why Zhong Shenxiu had come—they just weren't sure exactly what product he intended to promote.

Entering the room, Zhong Shenxiu directly brought out the two potions he had refined, placing them on the low table before them.

Faraday and Stanley cast curious glances their way but still held back from asking questions.

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at them both, then addressed Stanley first: "Hey, old man, want to put in some effort for me?"

Stanley was momentarily taken aback, then thrilled. He quickly replied, "Elder, what are your orders?"

Stanley had always envied Faraday. He couldn't understand why Zhong Shenxiu seemed so partial. Now, he eagerly hoped Zhong Shenxiu would give him a task to perform, allowing him to display his own capabilities and thereby earn Zhong Shenxiu's favor. If he could, he too might be freed from the fear of sunlight like Faraday, perhaps even gaining further benefits!

Hearing Zhong Shenxiu ask this, his face lit up with joy; he struck a pose of eager servitude: Just command me, sir.

Zhong Shenxiu simply nodded gently, not immediately stating what he wanted Stanley to do, but instead pointing to the two bottles on the table and beginning his detailed explanation! He covered everything from usage instructions to necessary precautions!

Faraday and Stanley grew more astonished the longer they listened. They could hardly believe such miraculous medicines existed in the world. But since the information came from Zhong Shenxiu, neither harbored any doubt; after all, Faraday was the living proof of such miracles!

Any concept deemed "impossible" tended to transform into "possible" when associated with Zhong Shenxiu—that was the impression he left on them!

"Your task from this point forward is to push these medicines onto the market. I don't care what methods you use, but the sooner the better!" After speaking, Zhong Shenxiu informed them of the initial pricing for the two potions.

The two men were utterly ecstatic; they never imagined they would live long enough to be involved in selling such wondrous medicines!

They could easily envision the sensation these two potions would cause once released to the market. The entire "Necromancer world," in particular, would be stirred by a considerable ripple. And they, themselves, would be the prime movers behind this surge—how could that not excite and thrill them?

When that time came, they would become prominent figures within the "Necromancer world" and reap unimaginable honors.

It was no exaggeration to say that any Necromancer with sufficient financial means would scramble to acquire these two medicines, because the benefit they offered Necromancers was simply too immense; no one wished to live without experiencing the warmth of the sun!

Zhong Shenxiu cast another look at the two excited old men, his gaze finally settling on Stanley.

Sensing Zhong Shenxiu's look, Stanley quickly looked up and saw Zhong Shenxiu producing two more bottles, distinctly different from the first pair!

Then, Zhong Shenxiu spoke to Stanley in a calm tone: "These are for you! The usage is the same as the other two agents I just described, but this is an accelerated formula. You will see immediate results upon use."

Perhaps readers have noticed a slight shift in Zhong Shenxiu compared to before. This was mainly because the nearly month-long period of joyous living within the "Damp Forest" had also brought about a change in Zhong Shenxiu’s worldview.

Stanley was overwhelmingly grateful, nearly falling to his knees to offer thanks!

Faraday, standing by, smiled warmly; he was genuinely happy for Stanley!

Although Stanley’s treatment was not yet comparable to Faraday’s, he had nonetheless been given an opportunity—an opportunity to prove himself! Whether he gained Zhong Shenxiu's lasting favor would now depend entirely on his own efforts!

A storm destined to shake the "Necromancer world" was about to begin, a storm so fierce that even Zhong Shenxiu could not have anticipated its magnitude.

Simultaneously, it was precisely these two medicines, developed by Zhong Shenxiu, that laid the unshakable foundation for him to become the wealthiest man in this world in the future!

Zhong Shenxiu, this prodigious genius, had already begun to unleash an impact upon this world using his knowledge!

What transformations this world would undergo as a result, no one could predict—we must wait and see!
