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

Chapter 253 Goddess Xu Cunxin

Good heavens, doesn't this look exactly like an Asura?
Compared to Yao Xueer's previous Yaksha concept sketches, Chen Xu's Asura sketch is significantly more complete, although some details still need to be adjusted and supplemented.

"Yes, yes, in my opinion, your idea for this scroll is already very complete." Wu Xian pondered and pointed out, "It's just that in terms of setting and conception, elements such as the dead and ghosts may not be able to perfectly encompass this kind of creature."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu fell into deep thought.

After saying this, he left his two obedient disciples to ponder on their own and quietly departed.

"What kind of disciples have I taken on?"

One created the Yaksha, and the other created the Asura.

While his ideas and thinking may have influenced it, this is simply too outrageous.

Isn't it said that creating original picture scrolls is difficult?

Could it be that I was just lucky and randomly picked two unparalleled geniuses?
It's not impossible that one's birth year's God of Wealth has an unseen influence.

After all, from a certain perspective, talent can be understood as a treasure, a kind of wealth.

Afterwards, they inspected the production of composite divine power factors. The club members are still working very hard, and the output is quite good.

Once the domain materials sponsored by the alliance arrive, we should add more content to the [Underworld Map].

Just as I was about to bother my master, I saw Cui Wenxuan arrive at the club, accompanied by a woman who was nearly thirty years old. Her embroidered gold palace dress highlighted her noble status, but unfortunately, she had a cold and aloof face.

"President Cui, what brings you here?"

Wu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and sent someone to inform his master sister.

I had heard before that a woman had come to the Holy Spirit Dojo; this must be the one in front of me.

Judging from the fluctuations in spiritual energy, he already possesses the cultivation level of level eight spiritual energy. His powerful spiritual energy is cold yet not leaky, clearly indicating that he is also a scroll painter, and one of extremely high skill level.

"To guide people, to make introductions."

Cui Wenxuan gave Wu Xian a wink, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Has the investigation really reached him?
Despite feeling guilty, he remained outwardly calm. "And who is this...?"

"The goddess of the Holy Spirit Dojo holds a very high position within the dojo, and her maternal grandfather was a close friend of mine," Cui Wenxuan briefly introduced.

As they were talking, Xue Lingling also came out, and was clearly surprised when she saw the goddess.

"Xu Cunxin, it's a pleasure to meet you two."

Xu Cunxin's words and demeanor exuded a very official air.

"It's actually the legendary goddess from the Holy Spirit Dojo?" Xue Lingling exclaimed in surprise. "Why would someone as important as you come to a small place like Yaoyang City?"

Xu Cunxin didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "I've come here to confirm something with you two."

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

"Regarding some recent issues on [Holy Spirit Island]," Xu Cunxin said, seemingly indifferent, but her eyes clearly scrutinizing the two's acting skills. "First of all, let me emphasize that my Holy Spirit Dojo has no malicious intent; we simply want the two of you to cooperate with the investigation."

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling continued to play dumb.

"Ahem," Cui Wenxuan took the opportunity to explain, "Simply put, there's been a minor problem in the Holy Spirit Realm, and the Goddess suspects it's related to your activities in the Holy Spirit Island instance."

"Huh?" Wu Xian said with displeasure, "Your Highness, are you sure you're not joking? What merit do we two have to be associated with the Holy Spirit Realm?"

"Perhaps it was an unintentional act by the two of you, but it has had a great impact on my Holy Spirit Realm."

Xu Cunxin looked serious and immediately showed the entry and exit records of [Holy Spirit Island], as well as the surveillance video of the dungeon lobby for the corresponding time period.

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged bewildered glances. "There are countless people entering and leaving the Holy Spirit Island instance. How can we be sure it's related to us?"

"The entry and exit records of the two individuals perfectly match the timing of several anomalies in my Holy Spirit Divine Realm."

"A coincidence, it must be a coincidence!" Xue Lingling refused to admit it.

Upon seeing this, the goddess Xu Cunxin couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Although the evidence basically proved that it was related to the two of them, there had been some discrepancies just two days ago.

Furthermore, the appearance of those three true gods today inevitably makes them suspect that it is related to those three true gods.

“Perhaps neither of you realizes the impact this has on my Holy Spirit Realm,” Xu Cunxin pondered for a moment before speaking again, “but this matter is of utmost importance to my Holy Spirit Dojo. If you have time, could you come with me to Holy Spirit Island?”

Upon seeing this, Wu Xian and his companion were about to politely decline.

But then Xu Cunxin flipped her hand, and a series of rare and precious materials floated in front of her.

Among them are two legendary otherworldly herbs that are said to be able to greatly enhance spiritual power cultivation.

"What is Your Highness doing?" Xue Lingling feigned composure, expressing her confusion.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation," Xu Cunxin said solemnly, extending an invitation to the two of them. "My Holy Spirit Dojo only wants to clarify the issue and has absolutely no ill intentions towards you. President Cui can attest to that."

"So, what exactly is wrong with your Holy Spirit Realm?" Cui Wenxuan asked, frowning.

Xu Cunxin took a deep breath. "I can only say that this concerns the life and death of the Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, Cui Wenxuan gasped in surprise.

Is this a matter of life and death for the Divine Realm?

Does this mean it's related to Wu Xian and Xue Lingling?

Is this reasonable?

"Therefore, I urge you both to give this matter serious consideration."

Xu Cunxin did not insist on anything, and after saying her piece, she gracefully took her leave.

Watching Xu Cunxin leave, Wu Xian couldn't help but wonder, "What's the background of this goddess from the Holy Spirit Dojo? How can she hold such a high position?"

"It's roughly the same as your girlfriend's status in the Mechanical Dojo," Xue Lingling said with a hint of sarcasm. "You could say that half of the Holy Spirit Dojo's current status among the nine dojos is thanks to Xu Cunxin."

"So amazing?" Wu Xian automatically ignored his master sister's sarcastic tone, which was tinged with jealousy.

Cui Wenxuan sighed and nodded, "She's a very talented girl, but unfortunately, she has a tragic fate."

"How so?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

“I watched her grow up, but unfortunately, due to some coincidences, she was targeted by a scoundrel in the upper echelons…” Cui Wenxuan said with melancholy and regret, “So the little girl has been burdened with heavy hatred and mission since she was a child.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged a surprised glance, their feelings complicated.

"So, the Holy Spirit Dojo is also our close ally in our fight against the upper world?" Wu Xian pondered.

“The internal workings of the dojo are complex, but the Xu family can be certain,” Cui Wenxuan said. “As for the entire Holy Spirit Dojo, the fact that they were able to elevate Xu Yatou to the position of goddess naturally reveals the biases and attitudes of the various factions within the Holy Spirit Dojo.”

Xue Lingling said with mixed feelings, "How about... we help her?"

Wu Xian frowned, hesitant.

The master sister clearly had a bit of "overflowing maternal instincts" and felt sympathy for Xu Cunxin's background.

To be honest, Wu Xian felt quite sympathetic, but he was more rational than sympathetic.

"Speaking of which, what is the strength and skill level of this goddess?"

Cui Wenxuan pondered, "His current strength is probably already above mine."

"..." Wu Xian was startled.

“Since it has nothing to do with you, then just cooperate,” Cui Wenxuan said. “I think that girl is quite generous.”

Now it was Wu Xian and Xue Lingling's turn to feel awkward.

Upon seeing this, Cui Wenxuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief: "Speaking of which, this matter can't really be related to the two of you, can it?"

"I don't know," Wu Xian said stubbornly, "but what if it's related? Wouldn't that be a real problem?"
