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

Chapter 123 Level 4 Spiritual Power
The plot unfolded so quickly that the two of them were momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Until the tribespeople below prayed in unison: "Great Holy Spirit of Fire, please protect your people—!"

"It seems we'll have to protect these people instead," Xue Lingling said with a strange expression.

"Is this considered a plot change?" Wu Xian asked curiously. "There shouldn't have been this kind of setting in the original Holy Spirit Island storyline, right?"

"Who knows?" Xue Lingling shrugged and smiled. "We're just here to gather materials."

Wu Xian was speechless, and then the divine map of the Twenty-Eight Constellations unfolded above his head.

The rampaging fiery divine bird was immediately suppressed by the starlight projected from the divine image, displaying a frantic and enraged state.

boom! boom! boom!
A deluge of fiery meteorites rained down, incredibly powerful.

Xue Lingling's Soul-Devouring Ghost King immediately went to meet the attack, releasing a barrier of yin energy to protect the tribespeople below.

Wu Xian immediately released the Black and White Impermanence to suppress it.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations Divine Diagram, combined with the suppression of the Blazing Fire Divine Bird by the Black and White Impermanence, instantly suppressed and refined the Blazing Fire Divine Bird.

puff!puff!puff!
As the Fiery Divine Bird struggled in agony, it was pierced by the starlight projected from the Twenty-Eight Constellations Divine Diagram. Amidst its painful cries, it was actually refined on the spot by the Twenty-Eight Constellations Divine Diagram.

The remaining divine power and spiritual energy were also completely consumed by the Black and White Impermanence and the two Star Lords.

In the end, only a single, drifting feather remained.

"At least leave some for your teacher!" Xue Lingling said, shocked and resentful.

Wu Xian was still immersed in the shock of the divine diagram directly refining him.

Then, the entire copy space became distorted and blurred.

The master and apprentice returned to the guild's instance lobby.

"Again! Again!"

Xue Lingling hurriedly called for the staff, feeling very resentful for not getting any treats.

"Failed?" Seeing the two emerge so quickly, the staff member assumed they had failed the challenge. But when he noticed the change in the dungeon's energy, he was stunned. "What's going on? They cleared it so quickly?"

Keep in mind, that's a Tier 4 Holy Spirit Island dungeon!
Normally, the teams that come to challenge it can only manage to reach the third level of the Holy Spirit Island at most, and even then, the success rate is less than 50%.

But now, the fourth-tier Holy Spirit Island has been dealt with by the two of them so quickly.

"Alright, hurry up and start," Xue Lingling said impatiently, "I'm still holding back my anger."

Wu Xian curiously examined the scroll depicting Holy Spirit Island, but found it unchanged.

I had thought that this plot change would allow Holy Spirit Island to transform or upgrade.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

"What's Tier 5 like? How about we try a Tier 5 dungeon directly?" Wu Xian suggested enthusiastically.

But Xue Lingling waved her hand and said, "Forget about the fifth tier. Anything above the fifth tier would be a cross-platform dungeon."

"Interoperable dungeons?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"That means all challengers will be teleported to the same Holy Spirit Island instance map. The instance space is constant, so it wouldn't be good if the Holy Spirit Dojo people found out," Xue Lingling explained.

Wu Xian asked in surprise, "Are scrolls in other fields like this too?"

"Only this batch of first-generation domain scrolls is like this."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in amazement and couldn't help but want to go to the fifth-tier Holy Spirit Island to broaden his horizons.

But right now they're here to farm materials and improve their cultivation, so there's no need for them to go to the fifth-tier Holy Spirit Island.

Afterwards, the staff suppressed their shock and reopened the Tier 4 Holy Spirit Island instance.

Even after watching the two enter the instance, I was still in disbelief.

……

Holy Spirit Dojo.

The dojo leaders, who had just calmed down a few days earlier, were once again plunged into fear and panic.

Moreover, this "theft" was far more intense than the last one.

In particular, a large amount of power was stolen from the divine phantom of the Fiery Bird in the divine realm.

"How could this happen? What on earth happened?"

"Who! Who is stealing the power of my Holy Spirit Divine Realm?"

"Could it be that the Necronomicon really tampered with the [Soul Matter] material?"

"Oh no, it's starting again!"

"Everyone, listen to my command! Follow me to comprehend the laws of the divine realm. I want to see who is secretly stealing the power of my Holy Spirit Divine Realm!"

……

Inside the fourth-tier Holy Spirit Island, Wu Xian and his companion arrived at the tribe protected by the Holy Spirit of the Vajra Tiger King.

This time, the two star deities clearly lacked the power to subdue the tribe's people and make them abandon darkness for light.

This time, Xue Lingling also got her wish and benefited. One by one, the strangely shaped Holy Spirits were professionally suppressed by the Ten Yin Marshals and then devoured, turning into the divine image condensation level of the two of them.

Xue Lingling's [Aye Ghost King] was indeed much stronger than the Soul Devouring Ghost King when absorbed, but it was still a bit inferior to the Ten Great Yin Marshals.

After a bloodbath, the Vajra Tiger King roared and made his appearance.

It was a giant tiger with saber teeth, its body was yellow and black, and it looked fierce and domineering.

"This skin doesn't look right."

Wu Xian couldn't help but secretly complain to himself.

But I must say, this Vajra Tiger King is quite fierce.

Even though its power was somewhat suppressed by the Twenty-Eight Constellations Divine Diagram, it still managed to fight the Golden Axis Seven-Star Soul-Devouring Ghost King to a standstill.

Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and is born with the characteristic of a "soul".

The moment the six-star Silver Axis [Leopard Tail General] appeared, he instantly subdued it completely.

It was eventually devoured, and one of its saber teeth fell out.

Afterwards, the master and apprentice continued to clear two more waves of Tier 4 Holy Spirit Island.

Successfully obtained one piece of Blackwater Divine Turtle Shell and one Grass Poison Dragon Scale Shell.

Both of their divine images have been significantly improved in terms of refinement.

The key point is Wu Xian's improvement in spiritual power cultivation.

I feel like it won't be long before I break through to level four spiritual power.

In the following days, Wu Xian would visit Holy Spirit Island every day to offer his condolences, improving his spiritual power cultivation while also accumulating a large amount of high-quality materials and divine power factors.

In addition, there's the double boost from the laurel tree and the psionic amplification fluid.

Finally, he successfully raised his spiritual power to level four.

Now, mana won't be as scarce as before.

As his spiritual power cultivation improved, his natal flying sword also unknowingly rose to three and a half stars.

【My Destiny Flying Sword - Laurel Branch】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Silver switch

Painting Spirit: ★★★☆

Spirituality: 65
Innate Trait: Natal Sword Embryo, Taiyin Sword Qi

During this period, some rare minerals were used to enhance and strengthen it, and its spirituality was increased to 65 points.

Over at the Bronze League.

The Ghost King Club's dominance is growing stronger, and even many individual league players have started using the Ghost King Scroll and the Yin General Scroll.

What puzzled Wu Xian and Xue Lingling was that the other major clubs had not made any moves for a long time.

It was as if they had all given up.

During this time, the presidents of several major clubs also released their superior scrolls, but unfortunately they were still no match for the Ghost King Scroll and the Yin General Scroll.

"That shouldn't be the case!" Xue Lingling was completely baffled. "The prestigious Dengfeng Dojo can't just back down like this, can it?"

"Could reinforcements still be on their way?"

“But it’s been more than a month,” Xue Lingling couldn’t understand. “Shouldn’t it have come by now, even if it’s slow?”

……

Meanwhile, inside a high-end hotel in Yaoyang City.

The presidents of several major clubs eagerly awaited their savior, who finally arrived.

During this period, they were almost frantic, reporting almost every day, but unfortunately, their rank within the dojo was too low, and the higher-ups didn't pay much attention to Yaoyang City.

By the time the news was reported up the chain of command, Yaoyang City was practically shaped like the Ghost King Club.

Outside the hotel entrance, a cool Bumblebee slowly came to a stop, and a well-dressed, handsome man with an air of nobility stepped out.

“This car is not bad,” the young master glanced at the Bumblebee beside him, “I’ll get one for myself to play with later.”

“Yes, yes,” the presidents of the major clubs said respectfully. “Young master, please come in.”
