When Chen Yu woke up the next day, it was almost noon. Having never slept in since high school, he had now slept for a good dozen hours, truly a good night’s rest.
Still groggy from sleep, Chen Yu sat up in bed and glanced over at Audis’s cat bed, where it was happily playing with an athyst skull. For Audis, a necromancer’s familiar, the athyst skull infused with necromantic power was irresistibly appealing, on par with a tasty dried fish.
Ignoring Audis rolling around with the athyst skull, Chen Yu climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth. However, seeing his reflection in the mirror, post-promotion and bodily reconfiguration, he stared blankly for a good while before snapping back to reality.
Although last night Chen Yu instinctively restructured his body to its original appearance, the promotion ceremony inherently refines one’s life essence. Thus, while his face remained the sa, those chiseled, elegant lines, and the perfectly proportioned muscles styled after Ancient Greek sculptures, made his deanor radically different from before.
If it were strangers, it might not matter much, but to soone like Jounouchi Hiromi, who had recently had an honest encounter with him, the difference in his appearance would definitely be apparent.
Thinking about this, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead in resignation. Indeed, a successful promotion wasn’t entirely a positive thing. What kind of excuse could he co up with to cover it up? Plastic surgery? Fitness? Or...
simply claim he had always been handso? While contemplating excuses, Chen Yu brushed his teeth, unable to co up with anything convincing.
Although it was a bit annoying, in truth, Chen Yu wasn’t too concerned about it since his overall appearance hadn’t changed and his features remained the sa. The subtle improvents were rely refinishings that elevated his aura and wouldn’t cause him to be mistaken for soone else.
Under these circumstances, even if people felt sothing was off, they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint what exactly, so it wasn’t a big issue.
Especially after putting on his jacket to cover the muscles that could rival Ancient Greek sculptures, and after assuring himself in the mirror that he didn’t stand out as much as he’d imagined, he let go of his worries about this matter.

Having gained his promotion and unlocked new potion recipes, Chen Yu naturally focused his attention on treating Inomata Naoki. After all, a large part of his motivation for undergoing the promotion ceremony was to find a way to cure Inomata Naoki.
The original potion recipe that Chen Yu had been using, as listed in the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," was nad "Initial Plague of Undeath Potion." The original potion was designed to spread the Plague of Undeath, making ordinary humans slowly turn into undead creatures after infection.
Chen Yu had modified the potion recipe, reducing its potency. His initial idea was that after cancer patients used the potion, although their bodily vitality would decrease, they would not be transford into undead. Instead, the potion’s effect would suppress the overly vigorous life force of cancer cells in the body, thereby inhibiting tumor growth.
But the lack of sufficient potion formulas for reference, combined with his own lack of knowledge in potionology, ant that although the potions Chen Yu had improved could take effect, their efficacy did not reach the level he had anticipated.
Chen Yu had already reduced the potency of the potion to the smallest degree possible, and any further reduction would fail to suppress the vitality of the cancer cells. Yet even so, there was still the danger of patients turning into undead creatures after long-term use.
This was the main issue that Inomata Naoki was currently facing. The tumor in his body was no longer fatal thanks to the drug’s suppression, but as he had used the potion longer and exceeded the dosage that Chen Yu had originally prescribed, his body was gradually undergoing undeath.
However, Chen Yu finally had new potion formulas to reference.
"Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" not only unlocked new knowledge in potionology but also directly provided him with a vast array of necromantic potion improvent formulas, which ant that he could simply use these formulas to improve the potion he had originally developed, achieving the ideal potion and curing Inomata Naoki.
"Universal Minor Healing Potion for the Undead" and "Improved Plague of Undeath Type III (Concealed Variant) Potion" are formulas Chen Yu obtained from the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" that could be directly used to enhance his original potions.
Among them, "Universal Minor Healing Potion for the Undead" is specifically designed for the use of undead creatures.
Since the bodies of undead creatures have largely lost their activity, with so being rely skeletons and spirits, healing injuries on undead creatures can be quite troubleso.
Therefore, necromancers have developed healing potions specifically for undead creatures that can replenish the vitality of the bodies of undead creatures, allowing their physical wounds to heal as though they were living beings.
Given that the na of the potion is "minor effect," its potency is naturally not very strong and it is intended only for healing minor wounds. But for Chen Yu, this type of potion was just right. A "minor effect" potion is naturally simple, made with easily obtainable or substitutable materials, and can be used with slight adjustnts.
Chen Yu had carefully reviewed the potion formulas, and the ingredients were all things he had seen before or could obtain. Even the more obscure materials could be substituted with others, much like when he originally researched necromantic potions.
And this "Universal Minor Healing Potion for the Undead" is a potion that directly supplents body vitality, which could be used on Inomata Naoki to directly restore his body’s activity.
Of course, while restoring his body’s activity, the suppressed cancer cells in his body would also beco activated. This would have been a significant problem, but since Chen Yu had obtained new potion formulas and Jounouchi Hiromi inford him that there was soone who could perform surgery on Inomata Naoki, Chen Yu was no longer content to just suppress the cancer cells in his body.
Instead, he planned to cure it completely.
With this in mind, Chen Yu felt that he should first et the friend Jounouchi Hiromi had ntioned. After all, Inomata Naoki’s surgery was of global difficulty, and the surgeon capable of operating on him would obviously be of top-tier world-class skill.
As for the "Improved Plague of Undeath Type III (Concealed Variant) Potion," Chen Yu simply skimd through the introduction of its effects and did not delve into it, because this potion was not much different from the necromantic potions he had studied before, except for differences in potency and mode of action.
He could wait until after Naoki Inomata had been cured and then return to a detailed study of cancer suppression potions.
