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

Chapter 153 The Birth of the Laurel Tree Rubbing

It's hard to imagine how my master sister managed to maintain her integrity and remain untainted by the "world of fame and fortune" that is the necromancer's dojo all these years.

However, judging from her appearance, she seemed to have long since let go of these things.

"Speaking of which, is your idea for the Spirit Scroll reliable?" Xue Lingling asked seriously.

"It's reliable." Wu Xian said confidently.

If it weren't for the fact that the original effect of the [Laurel Tree] was so amazing, we would have released the laurel tree on the spot to show them its amazing power.

The quality of subsequent laurel tree rubbings will be greatly reduced, but they are still definitely better than that broken black jade bamboo forest.

"Brother Xian, I believe in you!" Wang Xiaocong took the lead.

“Even if it only has half the effect of the Black Jade Bamboo Forest, we can accept it,” Du Yifan chimed in. “After all, it’s our club’s own spirit animal, so we don’t need to put up with this.”

"But... could you give us a slight discount on the cost of the subsequent training chambers, hehe?"

Wu Xian shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, it's definitely much cheaper than the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest."

Given the Wang family's utterly corrupt character, plus the subsequent maintenance costs, the expenses will definitely not be low.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse." Xue Lingling gestured for everyone to leave. "My dear disciple, Xiao Zhou, please keep an eye on things so I can have a few days of peaceful seclusion."

"This was purely an accident, President, please go into seclusion without worry," Zhou Qi assured him, patting his chest.

Wu Xian also stated his position in a righteous and stern manner.

At least in his view, there shouldn't be anything else that would require his senior sister to get involved in.

After watching Xue Lingling leave, he instructed everyone to tidy up the chaotic scene.

Just as he was about to make a rubbing of the [Laurel Tree], he saw Wang Xiaocong sneaking up on him. "Brother Xian, where did you learn the spiritual energy circulation technique you just used?"

Wu Xian was slightly taken aback.

Thinking of Old Master Wang's identity, it suddenly dawned on me.

"Go back and ask your grandfather," Wu Xian said mysteriously.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaocong was stunned. "Brother Xian knows my old man, no, Brother Xian has met my old man before?"

Before he could finish asking, Wu Xian strode into the room and closed the door.

Wang Xiaocong felt increasingly uneasy.

The first thing he did after returning home was to excitedly seek out his grandfather, Wang Fengnian.

"Grandpa, do you know Wu Xian, the genius from our club?"

Without hesitation, Wang Fengnian frowned. "Did something happen to the little guy?"

"No, it's just that I accidentally discovered today that Brother Xian seems to know our Wang family's method of circulating spiritual energy," Wang Xiaocong said, full of doubts. "I asked him out of curiosity, but Brother Xian told me to come back and ask you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fengnian finally understood what was going on. "Is that little guy also practicing the spiritual energy circulation method?"

I thought that with Wu Xian's talent for painting scrolls, he wouldn't be distracted by this kind of cultivation.

As expected of the leader's grandson, he is indeed outstanding.

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes."

"That might be a descendant of one of Grandpa's old comrades-in-arms. We can invite him to come over for a visit sometime," Grandpa Wang Fengnian said ambiguously.

"Your old comrade-in-arms?" Wang Xiaocong was secretly surprised. "No wonder I have such a connection with Brother Xian."

“Get along well with people, and if you find that someone is having any difficulties, remember to report it to Grandpa immediately,” Wang Fengnian said righteously. “Grandpa will definitely take good care of the descendants of my old comrades.”

"Don't worry~ I would have done it even if you hadn't said anything. Brother Xian is your grandson's guiding light."

"Oh?"

"Hehe, look at your grandson's latest masterpiece, it will definitely impress you!"

……

The next day, Wu Xian went to the association and major shops in the city to purchase a batch of Yuanling Grass and plant-type monster materials.

Incidentally, he also "borrowed" some suitable divine power factors from Master Xue.

After several attempts, I still couldn't succeed.

In the end, we had to break off a branch from the laurel tree and add it in to finally make the rubbing of the laurel tree.

Fortunately, the laurel tree itself is not afraid of being broken.

After all, our laurel tree is known as the "immortal tree." Back in the day, even when Wu Gang chopped at it with his axe on the moon until it was smoking, he couldn't even scratch the laurel tree.

The damage is negligible for the laurel tree now. "Tsk tsk, the cost of this spirit-themed scroll is indeed a bit high."

Putting aside the laurel tree, the cost of the other dimensional herbs and plant-based materials alone is close to one million.

A large portion of the cost is spent on dimensional herbs.

To be honest, dimensional spirit herbs are really expensive.

[Remnant - Innate Laurel Tree]

Edition type: Rubbings

Grade: Bronze Axis

Painting Spirit: ★★☆
Spirituality: 46
Innate Trait: Taiyin Spiritual Root
I tried releasing the laurel tree from Tuoyue, and the speed at which spiritual energy gathered was quite good.

Although it is only a two-and-a-half-star rubbing of the copper axis, it has already increased the speed of spiritual energy cultivation by more than 90%, which is almost equivalent to doubling the cultivation speed.

It even brought a slight improvement in the understanding of the laws.

Therefore, it can be seen that the characteristic of comprehending the law does not apply to the laurel scroll, but rather to the scroll imprint in the sea of ​​consciousness that resembles a divine map.

Next, he called Tang Benghao's brother and asked the Tang family factory to help design a matching cultivation chamber.

This thing itself doesn't require much technology and is very easy to make.

In the blink of an eye, the area outside the door had become lively.

After all, it's that time of the week again for the battlefield match.

In the past two days, the club members have seen a significant increase in their win rate thanks to the new generation of Ghost King Scroll.

"Is everyone here?" Wu Xian looked around at everyone after arriving. "Our great president isn't here, so I won't be competing with you today. Give it your all and don't let our president down."

The club members responded confidently.

Wang Xiaocong, meanwhile, was happily handing out his [Yin Sha Ghost Sword], saying, "Come on, one for everyone. Also, help me try it out so I can make improvements later."

"Sure, sure!" the members agreed with smiles.

Free scrolls are free, so why not take them? Besides, Wang Xiaocong's scrolls are really quite good.

Soon after, the battle officially began, and all members arrived at the battlefield immediately.

As the acting president, Wu Xian sat at the back of the club, monitoring the members' performance through the league's equipment.

The map for this battle is a beast-themed battlefield, where all sorts of bizarre and ferocious beasts roam freely.

Fortunately, the members were already seasoned veterans, and with the added benefit of high-quality illustrations, they were able to handle the situation with relative ease.

Occasionally, there might be conflicts with other clubs or teams, just for the sake of creating some entertainment value.

The live stream was as popular as ever.

But as I watched, things suddenly started to look a little off.

"Hmm?" Wu Xian quickly noticed the unusual activity of one of the Zhan Tian Club's teams. "Has Shiraishi Qi released a new work again?"

The scrolls used by this group were unlike any I'd seen before; they looked like some kind of necromancer scroll.

At first, Wu Xian didn't pay much attention, after all, he had the Ten Great Yin Marshals to back him up.

But when the team clashed with the Ghost King Club, Wu Xian realized something was wrong. The new scroll set from the Battle Heaven Club was no less impressive than the previous Emperor Mummy series.

In some undead abilities, it even surpasses the Emperor Mummy series.

"Why do those painting spirits seem a little familiar?"

Wu Xian looked at the strange undead-themed scrolls in the picture. The style and appearance of them looked more and more familiar, but they didn't seem to be Bai Shiqi's style or approach.

He immediately made a harassing phone call to his master.

Yesterday we agreed not to disturb our master's seclusion, but today we immediately broke our promise. "Master, why don't you come over? The Battlefield Tournament's Battle Heaven Club released a new scroll today, it's obviously aimed at us."

"..." Xue Lingling in the video looked slightly exhausted. "Can't we beat them?"

"Not really, it just looks a bit strange, not like Shiraishi Qi's work," Wu Xian pointed the camera at the live stream, "Do you recognize it?"

"?!" Xue Lingling's gaze sharpened. "Wait a moment, your teacher will be there shortly."

Seeing Xue Lingling's strong reaction, Wu Xian was also stunned. "What's going on?"

"It's Zhao Qinghe! That's Zhao Qinghe's 'Yin Yang Wei Gu' series!"

Xue Lingling's voice was filled with shock, resentment, and a hint of excitement.
