Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 122 The Old Man's Package
Moreover, given the quality of Yin Shuai's scroll, how could anyone possibly return it?
You can make a profit just by reselling it.

After seeing the delivery guy off, I opened the package, and wow, it was a premium package!

"WTF?"

The package contained a jumble of ancient books and notes.

Upon opening it, my eyes immediately lit up.

"These are... the research notes of an ancient scroll painter?"

Wu Xian became increasingly alarmed as he read through the package. Finally, he found a letter at the very bottom of the package and was completely stunned when he saw the signature.

It was sent by my grandfather, Wu Mingchang:

I acquired it by chance, and feeling that Xian'er might find it useful, I had someone send it back to her.

Grandpa is doing well, don't worry.

The brief message was indeed in the old man's style.

Wu Xian remained in a daze for a long time.

No, where did the old man get this kind of thing?
At first glance, it appears to be a complete set of research notes from an early scroll painter exploring new methods of scroll painting. Although it ultimately only uncovered the basic framework of the new scroll painting, it is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for Wu Xian.

A moment later, the name of this first scroll painter was found in one of the research records: Liu Feng.

I immediately searched online for the name of this first master, but found no such person.

This level of valuable information is clearly not something that ordinary people can access, which aroused Wu Xian's strong curiosity about the old man's identity.

After reading through it all night, Wu Xian was deeply moved.

This first-generation scroll painter named Liu Feng was definitely a master with the world in his heart. He almost single-handedly developed the prototype of this "new type of scroll" that could enable more people to master extraordinary powers.

Among them were many explorations of domain-specific scrolls, which greatly inspired Wu Xian's thinking.

"So this is how the Domain Scroll was initially explored?"

According to this research note, the original intention of "Domain Scroll" was to create a post-apocalyptic survival fortress suitable for human survival in that dark age.

Therefore, the domain mapping concept and approach described in the notes are completely different from the domain mapping of today.

It's even different from the first-generation domain scroll like [Dead Mountain Town].

It seems to be a more ancient and primitive design concept than [Dead Mountain Town].

This will be of great help to Wu Xian in his subsequent research and creation of scrolls in the "Dead Mountain Town" area.

In addition, some of the research perspectives are clearly derived from ancient scroll painting techniques. Ordinary scroll painters may not understand them, but Wu Xian, who possesses ancient scroll paintings, can understand them.

"A divinely inspired scroll?"

According to the notes, the first generation of awakened painters called the paintings that revealed extraordinary power "divine scrolls".

Those who possess such divinely bestowed scrolls are known as "celestial masters" who save the world.

In addition, some of the research on extradimensional materials and extradimensional powers greatly broadened Wu Xian's thinking and vision.

It wasn't until his master's sister called from outside the door that Wu Xian was pulled back to his senses.

He put all the materials into his Qiankun bag, then got up and followed his master sister to the association.

Xue Lingling was very curious about the tattooed man.

Upon arriving at the association, the first thing to do is to meet this extraordinary man, the tattooed guy.

Under Xue Lingling's curious questioning, the shy tattooed guy blushed and became extremely embarrassed.

Wu Xian then took the opportunity to ask Xu Lu about the two surviving servants of the evil god, "Did you get any useful information from them?"

“Not yet,” Xu Lu shook her head helplessly. “You have to understand that the worship and loyalty of the servants of evil gods to the evil gods are quite fanatical. Normal interrogation methods simply cannot get them to talk.”

"Are the bones really that hard?" Wu Xian exclaimed inwardly.

It's less about loyalty and more about being mentally controlled by an evil god.

“However, Master Lin seems to have thought of a feasible solution,” Xu Lu said, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"What method?" Xu Lu asked excitedly, "Master Lin's idea is to try to give those two people some tattoo modifications, which may gradually suppress the influence of the evil god on them and thus bring them back to their senses."

Wu Xian's eyes lit up slightly; this was undoubtedly a good idea.

Aren't those two tough guys? Perfect for using them for the tattoo guy's human experiments. Not only will it speed up his research, but it will also suppress the evil god's mental manipulation of the two to some extent. It's a win-win situation.

Meanwhile, Xue Lingling was still watching Zhang Mazi and his group with amazement, and even demonstrated a few moves with Zhang Mazi on the spot.

After it was over, he appeared calm, but his forearms were clearly trembling.

"That's interesting. Keep it up, young man! I believe in you!"

After leaving a word of encouragement, Xue Lingling pulled Wu Xian away.

The moment he stepped out of the temporary command center for exorcising evil, his expression instantly went out of control, and he grimaced in pain. "Wow~ this tattoo buddy's technique is really promising!"

"Are you alright?" Wu Xian asked with concern.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Amidst laughter and conversation, we arrived once again at the familiar Scroll Dungeon lobby.

With a clear objective, the two summoned the staff in charge of the [Holy Spirit Island] instance and presented their special passes.

"Let's just open the Tier 4 dungeon directly, it'll save us the trouble."

Then touch the [Holy Spirit Island] scroll to enter the instance.

"There are four guardian spirits on the fourth-tier Holy Spirit Island. Which one should we deal with first?" Xue Lingling asked eagerly.

"Let's do them one by one, it would be best to scan them all."

"good idea."

So, led by Xue Lingling, they arrived at the tribe protected by the Fiery Bird.

The monsters on the fourth-tier Holy Spirit Island have clearly increased in strength, but the master and apprentice have improved even more during this period.

Out of curiosity, Wu Xian directly dispatched the two star lords, Winged Fire Serpent and Chariot Water Worm.

As it turned out, the two star deities had a very strong deterrent effect on these descendants of the Holy Spirit.

Sensing the aura emanating from the two star lords, the descendants of the Holy Spirit looked on in disbelief, and many even knelt down on the spot to beg for mercy, pleading for the forgiveness of the "Blazing Fire Divine Bird," leaving Wu Xian and his companion completely dumbfounded.

"What happened? He just knelt down?" Xue Lingling asked incredulously.

"Perhaps it's related to the power of the Blazing Firebird?" Wu Xian pondered and explained.

Strictly speaking, it should be the Vermilion Bird power contained within the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird.

The two men, who had originally intended to wreak havoc, found themselves somewhat embarrassed to act when they saw the devout worship of the entire tribe's descendants of the Holy Spirit.

"Great Holy Spirit of Fire, please forgive your devout people."

Several elders in the tribe bowed their heads with each step, regarding the two star lords, Winged Fire Serpent and Chariot Water Worm, as gods.

"This..." Xue Lingling's expression was strange, "It's a bit difficult to make a move?"

After all, only by slaughtering the descendants of the Holy Spirit of this tribe could they be forced to summon the Fiery Bird.

"No, something's strange."

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately noticed something amiss.

Then, tiny specks of faith rose from the countless descendants of the Holy Spirit below, converging on the two star deities.

what's going on?
Is this a sign of "abandoning darkness and embracing the light"?
Yes, after seeing the two star lords, the descendants of the Holy Spirit below seemed to abandon the Blazing Fire Bird. Judging from their devout and fervent gazes, it was as if they had found their true gods.

While absorbing this "power of faith," the two star lords' levels were also slowly increasing, and the refinement of the [Twenty-Eight Constellations] divine diagram behind them was also subtly improving.

At the same time, a restless wave emanated from the giant totem at the center of the tribe.

Clearly, the Fiery Bird could no longer sit still.

Phew——!
A cry of "Phoenix Cry" resounded through the sky, and the Fiery Divine Bird soared into the heavens from the totem, its aura violent. It immediately unleashed divine punishment upon the tribe, seemingly to punish those who had betrayed its followers.
