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

Chapter 166 The Mysterious Wang Family
"This..." the four generations under one roof said with a hint of self-deprecation, "I can only say that many things are far more complicated than you think."

"Alright." Wu Xian didn't press further to avoid hurting the other party's pride. "There's another question. My Natal Scroll has been at the third level of Natal Mark for some time now, but there's still no sign of a fourth Natal Mark forming. Why is that?"

Four Generations Under One Roof: "The more life marks you accumulate, the harder it becomes to condense them, and the more demanding the requirements for your natal divine diagram become. If you haven't been able to condense the fourth life mark, it means the time isn't right yet. Junior, don't worry about it."

Wu Xian understood, "Would the Divine Realm also affect the Fate Mark?"

Four generations living under one roof: "It has an impact, but not a significant one."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"You're too kind," the four generations under one roof seemed a little worried: "And the Wang family, young senior, remember not to confront them directly, or it will be very troublesome."

After Wu Xian understood and agreed, he silently left the forum.

"Wang family?"

Puzzled, I searched for the Wang family under the Divine Beast Dojo, but found no such family at all—not even the slightest bit of information about them.

This is clearly not normal, since even the smallest family should have some information about them online.

I immediately messaged my master sister to inquire, and found that she had never heard of this family either.

It does have a bit of the feel of a "hidden family" from a novel.

Generally speaking, the more mysterious a family is, the more extraordinary it is.

Fortunately, the situation in the Zerg alien world is special. Everyone comes from different places. Just as he doesn't know which city the other party comes from, the other party naturally doesn't know which city he comes from either.

……

Tianfeng Province, with its capital city Dongfeng City.

Inside a top-tier provincial club, a middle-aged scroll artist who had returned from the Zerg dimension had a ferocious expression, his frantic demeanor revealing a hint of anxiety, as if the golden scroll collar was very important to him.

"Damn it, who is that kid?!" the middle-aged scroll painter shouted hysterically. "Investigate! Investigate him!"

"Yes, Chairman, I will investigate immediately."

The club's subordinates were secretly alarmed, unable to understand why the chairman had lost his composure like this.

Although a gold scroll containing tools was stolen, it was clearly not the guild leader's own work. Was it really necessary to care so much?

Finally, they even used the [Falling God] technique.

"Their spirit paintings are quite formidable; they're clearly not nobody." A lackey beside him analyzed, "Do you think they might be secret weapons developed by other clubs?"

"No matter who the other party is or what their background is, we must get that gold scroll back for me!"

Having said that, he hurriedly returned to the depths of the president's bedroom.

Soon after, he furtively connected to a strange communication device, his eyes filled with worry.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Ghost King Club's new round of auditions has ended, and the club is gradually getting back on track. At least in all aspects, it looks like a legitimate club.

Vice President Zhou Qi is currently leading the new members to familiarize themselves with the environment and providing some basic training.

The contribution point system in the Contribution Hall gradually began to operate.

During this period, a rubbing of the "Laurel Tree" was made for the Zhou, Wang, Tang, and Xue families, and the remaining materials were used to add two more "Laurel Tree" training pods to the club.

Now Wu Xian has gradually adapted to the role of acting president, and his daily work is going well.

According to the development plan left by the master before she went into seclusion, the spatial passages of the three major dimensional control zones will be opened in the side hall later.

In this way, club members will no longer need to travel back and forth between the three dimensional ports.

However, the cost of building this spatial passage is truly outrageous.

To put it simply, none of the major established clubs in Yaoyang City have this feature yet. After all, they are just small local clubs and have never even considered developing further.

To put it bluntly, they are "unambitious" and lack the ability to improve, so the dojo doesn't need them to either. But the Demon King Club is different.

Their Ghost King Club is destined to break out of Yaoyang City and reach a higher and bigger stage in the future.

In addition, the club space passage cannot be built casually. You must first advance to the Silver League, then apply to the Provincial Alliance, and after approval, alliance staff and professionals from the Scroll Painter Association will come to open and connect it.

After all, dimensional portals directly involve the safety of the entire city, and their technology is quite advanced.

Now, the Ghost King Club has accumulated enough battlefield points and is preparing to enter the Silver League.

According to the league rules, once a club advances to the Silver tier, it can send players to participate in the Gold tier Challenge to compete for and be certified as a Gold tier league player.

When a club has a certain number of gold-tier players, it can begin the process of becoming a gold-tier club.

Wu Xian was not interested in the Silver Rank League; he only wanted to participate in the Gold Rank Challenge as soon as possible.

The competition in Yaoyang City is very low, or even nonexistent, so advancing to the Silver Rank Club is no challenge for them.

The recent appearance of Shiraishi Qi and Zhao Qinghe has caused some trouble.

In recent days, while Wu Xian has been working overtime to complete orders, he has also been upgrading the silver switches for the original members.

In the upcoming Silver Rank promotion matches, Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe will inevitably cause them some trouble, so they need to make as many preparations as possible to ensure everything goes smoothly.

With the qualifying rounds drawing ever closer, Wu Xian called his master sister.

"Hey~ Master Sister, the qualifying rounds are just around the corner, aren't you coming out of seclusion yet?"

"Don't rush~, we're just heading that way." Xue Lingling said cheerfully, "And there's a big surprise in store~!"

"Surprise? What surprise?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Xue Lingling said mysteriously.

Not long after, the master sister, who had been in seclusion for several days, returned on a coffin lid, accompanied by a handsome young man in his twenties.

The moment Wu Xian saw the handsome young man's face, he was both surprised and suspicious.

"Second Brother Xue?!"

Indeed, the person who came to the club with Xue Lingling at this moment was none other than Xue Zhengying.

But that's not the point. The point is that the insectoid aura on Xue Zhengying's body has completely disappeared. At least in terms of aura, he is no different from a normal spirit master.

"Hello, Vice President Wu!"

Xue Zhengying still seemed to have the same youthful mindset as she did eighteen years ago, grinning at him with a sunny and cheerful expression.

"No...you...?!" Wu Xian stepped forward in shock. "How did you do that?"

Xue Zhengying and Xue Lingling exchanged a glance and thanked her with emotion: "Speaking of which, I have to thank your [Pleiades Star Lord] instance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to suppress the insectoid power in my body so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was shocked: "Huh? You ate my portion of Pleiades Star Lord?"

"..." Xue Lingling said irritably, "What are you thinking? Is my second brother that kind of person?"

Xue Zhengying then explained, "Originally, I just wanted to use the power of the Pleiades Star Lord to try to suppress it. Who would have thought that as I suppressed it, we achieved soul resonance? From the moment of soul resonance, I could basically control the insectoid power in my body at will."

"Soul resonance?" Wu Xian was stunned.

Please~ that's soul resonance!

It's very difficult, okay?

To date, only Zhang Zihao and Niu Tou Yin Shuai have achieved a spiritual connection within the club.

"Tch~ Don't you even know who my second brother is?" Xue Lingling said with pride.

“Hmm,” Xue Zhengying smiled calmly, as if it were just a very ordinary thing, “I can only say that my extraordinary talent back then has not disappeared, which is a blessing in disguise.”
