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

Chapter 233 The Dragon King of the East Sea and the Divine Maps of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas

Of course, the current amount of incense and faith is definitely not enough.

Once everything was ready, I started writing.

The myths and legends of the Dragon King of the East Sea came to mind, and my brushstrokes followed suit.

With the blessing of incense and faith, I seemed to vaguely sense a blurry figure sitting in the deep sea deep in my mind.

Soon after, the copyright imprint was established.

The laws of heaven and earth converged like a tide, binding it into a scroll.

It was noticeable that after the addition of incense and faith, the movement of the laws of heaven and earth when the scroll was completed became much larger.

【Dragon King of the East Sea - Ao Guang】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Gold Axis

Painting Spirit: ★★★☆

Spirituality: 124
Innate Traits: Lord of the East Sea, Master of Clouds and Rain, True Form of the Dragon God
Having faith and incense offerings makes all the difference; one's initial spirituality is as high as 124 points.

With a slight thought, the deep blue water rippled, and the figure of the Dragon King of the East Sea emerged and coalesced from the painting.

He was dressed in a dark blue-black royal robe, wearing a royal crown, with a dragon's face and a human body, and his appearance was majestic.

With a fierce face and dragon horns on his forehead, he is identified as a dragon god of the aquatic tribe.

"Not bad."

Wu Xian was very satisfied with the image and imposing presence of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Despite the seemingly cowardly and weak appearance of the Dragon King of the East Sea in the stories of Monkey King and the Third Prince, he actually held a rather high position in mythology and the Heavenly Court system.

The Dragon King of the East Sea is ranked among the guardian deities of the Heavenly Court, directly subordinate to the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Thunder of the Nine Heavens, making him a mid-to-high-level official.

To put it simply, officials who are qualified to directly report to the Jade Emperor must be of a very high rank.

Of course, prestige and rank are not important to Wu Xian; what matters is the function and purpose of the "East Sea Dragon King" scroll.

The Land God Temple Farm has just been established. The Dragon King can help by bringing rain to nourish the land, increase grain production, and also bless the entire Yaoyang City with favorable weather.

With the Dragon King of the East Sea in place, the divine diagram of the Four Dragon Kings should naturally be condensed as soon as possible.

Having accumulated so much mental energy, it should be enough.

In the present moment, the Ten Yin Marshals and the Six Officials have merged into one, becoming a divine image, which has also freed up some space for souls to reside in.

……

Inside the Divine Dog Club in Dongfeng City, the provincial capital.

Since the last attack on the Underworld outpost, those idiots in the club have clearly become wary and fearful of him.

The entire club was gripped by a sense of inexplicable panic.

Some of the more timid ones have already run away.

This forced him to readjust his strategy and directly confront the club's key players and contracted scroll artists.

“I know what you’re thinking, what you’re afraid of,” Wang Zhi coldly surveyed the club members. “You’re worried that one day you’ll end up like those unruly, stupid dogs, right?”

Forgive my bluntness, but you are not qualified yet!

The people inside looked at each other, angry but not daring to speak out.

“The reason those three became like that is entirely because they didn’t know what was good for them,” Wang Zhi said calmly. “You are all prominent figures in Tianfeng Province, and you should have all heard rumors about the higher-ups.”

Throughout history, countless top figures have wanted to climb to the top but had no way to do so, but our Wang family can give you that opportunity.

You might think that being a dog in the upper class is humiliating and shameful, but that just shows you have no idea how powerful and noble the upper class is.

Countless people would kill for this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Super Dog Club exchanged strange glances, seemingly lost in thought.

Wang Zhi said unhurriedly, "Not long ago, I used my master's orders to take action against Yaoyang City, which also gave you all a sense of the power of the higher-ups. Before long, that so-called Underworld Club will become a joke."

Indeed, his "sanctions" against Yaoyang City were intended to stabilize morale and demonstrate the power of the higher-ups to these people.

"Soon, the mayor of Yaoyang City will have to kneel before me and beg me to save the people of Yaoyang City from their suffering, and the Underworld Club will be driven out of Yaoyang City like a stray dog."

Even that old bastard Cui Wenxuan will have to treat me with utmost respect next time he sees me!

For the past few days, he has been patiently waiting for Chen Shilong to arrive.

However, the mayor of Yaoyang City was more stubborn than he had expected, and had not yet come over to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

But it doesn't matter. When Yaoyang City is filled with starving people, they will realize their mistake.

“What the guild master says is absolutely right. But I have a question: why can’t we become the upper class, but instead become their dogs?” asked a dog-like scroll artist, puzzled.

"Ha, there are only so many spots for dogs, yet you dare to dream of becoming a noble upper class?" Wang Zhi mocked. "Does the old patriarch of the Wang family know about this?"

Yes, it's the Wang family from the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest. They've come to me for help more than once. All those Ink Jade Bamboo Forest cultivation pods in our club today were donated by that old man for free.

Unfortunately, that old thing isn't really suitable for the dog-themed picture scroll, and it's also too old; it doesn't meet my owner's selection criteria.

These words shocked and astonished everyone present.

"What? Senior Wang Zonghui from the Wang family has asked you for help more than once?"

"This...this...how is this possible?"

"That was a veteran player who was once a near-T3 in Hero Tower!"

Faced with the shock and doubt of the crowd, Wang Zhi chuckled inwardly: "So, it is already a great honor for you all to be standing here. In the future, not just any of you will be qualified to go to the upper echelons and become a distinguished upper-class dog."

If you are fortunate enough to be chosen by a venerable ruler, you and your family will enjoy immense blessings.

Otherwise, how do you think my Wang family achieved this status?

……

The next day, Wu Xian, accompanied by the Dragon King of the East Sea, went to inspect the seven local temple farms in the city.

Nowadays, not many citizens worship the Earth God Temple, and most of the former shantytown residents are the ones who worship there.

After all, faith is something that can't be established instantly; it takes time.

During the inspection, I ran into some of Huang Mao's former underlings, who are now senior managers of the Land Temple Farm.

As for Huang Mao himself, he also joined the army not long ago, following Zhao He.

I heard that Zhao He is doing quite well in the army now. I even asked him for a few silver scroll paintings a while ago.

Boom boom boom...

Under Wu Xian's control, thunder rumbled in the sky above the Land Temple Farm, and high-quality rain fell, which greatly benefited the growth and nourishment of the crops, far exceeding Wu Xian's expectations.

Even the functional plant scrolls on the farm are greedily absorbing the Dragon King's rainwater.

And look at those adorable little sprites flitting about in the fields, they too are enjoying the rain.

"Master Wu, what kind of painting is this? It can... it can bring down such sweet rain to the world?"

Several agricultural scroll painters from the association were stunned at the scene.

They could sense that this timely rain was not only nourishing the growth of crops, but also improving their quality, to the point that some crops were emitting faint spiritual energy.

The several grassroots botanical illustrators present were even more excited and their hearts were filled with emotion.

Because they could sense that the rain was of great benefit to their botanical scrolls.

“This is the Dragon King of the East Sea,” Wu Xian said with a slight smile, “a noble being who controls the rain in the human world.”

"Rain...the Rain God?" Everyone couldn't hide their amazement: "The Dragon King of the East Sea, a marine-themed scroll design? And a powerful dragon at that?"

Wu Xian smiled but remained silent.

The Dragon King isn't just a simple rain god; the rain god should actually have the surname Xiao, haha.
