Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 873 Master Painter Squid (22)

After reading the message and then looking at Yue Lingyue, Li Ziming did not immediately agree. Instead, he stared at Yue Lingyue and asked seriously, "Yue Lingyue, how did you know? Is there some kind of conspiracy involved? If you are not comfortable answering, at least give me a hint so I can prepare."

Yue Linglong sipped her tea, looked at Li Ziming, and felt a lot of emotions.

It's no wonder that upright people are rising up!
Li Ziming was only a very young immortal master, but he was already very vigilant.

Even if you know the other party has important information, never act rashly. Instead, immediately ask the other party for the reason and be cautious to the end.

There are thousands of such immortal masters in the righteous sects, each of whom is a capable individual. No wonder the righteous sects have been able to develop so rapidly.

The thought quickly passed through her mind, and she said softly, "It's Dao Xuan."

"Commander? Why didn't you notify me directly?"

"This matter was the result of a discussion between Dao Xuan and the Holy King. It wouldn't be good to say it out loud, and it would easily lead to gossip. So they had to send me to deliver the message through a bunch of channels. Anyway, don't take this to heart or remember it. Just think of it as a job you took on a whim."

"What could possibly require such secrecy? Besides, I am merely a Celestial Master of the Myriad Laws Sect; is such a matter truly necessary?"

"Anyway, you can answer it first."

Although Li Ziming was very puzzled, his golden core did not give any warning, so he accepted it.

Upon seeing who the other party was, Li Ziming had a vague feeling that the commander's caution was necessary.

After all, the person on the other end is Zhang Ting.

Zhang Ting is in a dangerous situation now. Several people have been drawn into Qingluan's predestined opportunity and are unable to move.

There's a big reward if you handle it well, but if you handle it poorly, you won't be able to get it back.

Moreover, this matter is also vaguely related to Lin Yuan's whereabouts, making it quite thorny due to the involvement of multiple parties.

After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "I'm here. How can I help you?"

Zhang Ting: [Great, you're here. Here's the thing, we're currently preparing to develop a game, but we're struggling with a lack of art assets, so we're hoping you can help us out. Money is no problem; we'll use the White Dragon Sect's payment system.]

Li Ziming really wanted to say, "I'm right here in the White Dragon Sect, you're just passing the buck!"

However, he couldn't reveal his identity as a squid, so he could only reply: "But, but you know, I'm just a novice painter. Are you really ready?"

Zhang Ting: [That's exactly the kind of sultry look I wanted! Teacher Moyu's paintings have truly broadened my horizons, and they've made me realize that this job absolutely has to be done by you! Please keep drawing to your heart's content! This is the character design. Like I said before, money is negotiable!]

Cuttlefish: [Okay, but my habit is to provide a sample first. If you're not satisfied, please return the sample, and it can't be used elsewhere, okay?]

Zhang Ting: [Don't worry, I understand the reasoning.]

Seeing the sample images provided, Li Ziming took a deep breath and asked, "What's the meaning of these hundreds of thousands of words of character design?"

Zhang Ting: [I had no choice; the unnamed investor insisted it was mandatory.]

Li Ziming narrowed his eyes, not wanting to say anything.

Although the name of the sponsor cannot be revealed, the setting alone tells us that this is a game set in Buddhism.

He really didn't want to take this kind of job, since the other party's requirements were troublesome whether there were few words or many words.

The sheer number of words indicates that the other party is extremely troublesome.

But for Lin Yuan, for Zhang Ting and the others, Li Ziming had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Just as Li Ziming was struggling with the setting, Yue Linglong finally recovered. Thanks to her good apprentice Lin Yuan, who obtained pills for her and introduced her to a large number of alchemists from the Taiping Realm, she diligently consumed pills every day, and both she and the Gu King felt full.

Under these conditions of consuming large doses of pills, she finally broke through and successfully became a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Logically speaking, people who achieve breakthroughs through medication are often emotionally unstable and have insufficient qi and blood. They usually need to go into seclusion for decades to stabilize their qi and blood before they can emerge.

But Yue Linglong didn't have this worry.

She's taking too much medicine.

So much so that she realized she had no need for seclusion at all; she could form her nascent soul today and be lively and energetic tomorrow.

After she came out of the pass, she wanted to find Lin Yuan, tell him the good news, and be prepared to be teased by him, tease him back, and then be teased back again.

In this way, the relationship between master and disciple can be strengthened, and one can take the opportunity to help the other solve a few problems, thus reinforcing the great image of one's master.

Unexpectedly, it's gone!

His little apprentice is gone!
Not only that, Yao Guang is gone too!

Yue Linglong was stunned when she heard the news.

But the situation was urgent, so she had to separate the Gu King from her body and cooperate with the other party, playing the roles of the Holy King and Yue Lingyue.

She would occasionally run back to the Xiaoyao Sect to play the role of Yue Linglong.

After that, they need to find the jade slips that Lin Yuan used before, and make up all the unfinished games inside, pretending that the other party is still in Kyushu.

She played four roles all by herself; if it weren't for her Nascent Soul cultivation, she would have died long ago!

She now had a vague feeling that Dao Xuan must have already realized that she was not the Holy King, but he hadn't said so.

This is what she admires about Dao Xuan: although that old geezer is a bit wicked, he is insightful, adept at human relationships, and always considers the development of the righteous sects and the Nine Provinces.

Sometimes, she even doubted that Dao Xuan had no feelings, because he could always put aside his position at crucial moments and do the best for Kyushu.

Therefore, after realizing that Dao Xuan was truly grooming Lin Yuan to be a leader, she wasn't too surprised, only feeling a sense of pride that "her child has made something of himself."

At this moment, she realized that she missed Lin Yuan terribly and hoped that he would come back soon so that she could praise him to her heart's content.

Finally, Li Ziming finished reading through all the settings and began to think.

Without disturbing the other party, Yue Linglong simply released the Gu King and made it change its form, transforming it into a Nascent Soul stage Spirit Calling Insect.

The Spirit Calling Insect is an extinct insect, but the Gu King is ever-changing; it can even transform into an ancient insect and replicate all of its abilities.

This insect can stimulate others' inspiration, causing a constant stream of ideas to emerge.

Since advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Yue Linglong has become even more adept at controlling the Gu King. Although she couldn't completely eliminate all of the Gu King's side effects, it has become much easier to use it.

The sound of insects began to spread, and the slight noise stimulated Li Ziming's Dao Domain, causing him to constantly generate various ideas that continuously aligned with the established settings.

Finally, he reached out and grasped the paintbrush in his hand, then began to paint with complete absorption.

After finishing the painting, he looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.
