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

Chapter 301 Research on Spiritual Medicines

Subsequently, the mentor, Zhou Qi, and the others also conducted the test.

Production efficiency is generally kept within 15 minutes.

Even Chen Xu and Yao Xueer joined in the fun. For the two of them, this [Scroll Master] was nothing short of a savior.

Although Master's scrolls are selling too well and they still need to be outsourced for the time being, the difference between working ten hours a day and working four hours a day is huge.

The free time also allows them to better study their own scrolls and improve Master's Four Seas Dragon Palace system.

Soon after, Xu Cunxin, the eldest disciple, was also drawn to the area.

Upon learning about the features of [Scroll Master], I was amazed and immediately placed a second order before its official release.

On Jump Sister's side, she also learned about Xu Cunxin's situation from her master.

When she learned that Xu Cunxin had become Wu Xian's apprentice, she was truly shocked.

Since he is Xiao Xianzi's personal disciple, he is one of our own in the club.

If it weren't for this connection, she might not have been willing to accept the order from the Holy Spirit Dojo.

Xu Cunxin was well aware of this, so she did not follow the cost price offered by the Underworld Club. Instead, she asked Tang Tiaotiao about the price after the official release.

There's a saying that goes, "Face is something you give to each other."

Seeing how respectable this goddess was, Sister Jump immediately waved her hand and gave her a discount.

From now on, for any orders from the Holy Spirit Dojo, their Mechanical Dojo will only accept orders from Xu Cunxin; they will not accept orders from anyone else.

While the two sides were negotiating business, Wu Xian also took the opportunity to try out other series of picture scrolls.

Their production efficiency is generally superior to that of other people's scrolls.

Among them, the focus is on the relatively high-end scrolls depicting the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas, and the Six Officials.

Based on the test results, it's clear that the production process for "Scroll Master" is becoming increasingly difficult, generally taking more than twenty minutes.

It should be noted that this is under the condition that everything is relatively perfect.

Fortunately, these high-level scrolls were not the main products to begin with, so the demand was not high, and they were mainly gold scrolls.

……

For the next three days, Yaoyang City remained calm.

With the club developing rapidly, Zhou Qi officially joined the Spider Cave in the Insect Realm, working closely with the great insect demons.

The super central hub has also been set up.

The system was established using City God Temples and Earth God Temples as the basis for card-drawing terminals.

Next, all that's needed is to continue renovating the City God Temple and the Earth God Temple to officially begin the vision of simultaneously accumulating wealth and attracting religious worship.

It's worth mentioning that many users addicted to gacha games were frustrated because the official website was under maintenance for a few days.

After the maintenance ended, a wave of retaliatory spending on gacha pulls ensued.

"The flow rate has increased significantly compared to before."

As Wu Xian analyzed the bank account statements, he felt that it was not only due to revenge spending.

"Could it be that word-of-mouth has spread?"

These days, Mayor Chen Shilong's aid to neighboring cities has also begun in earnest.

The reputation of the Underworld Club's scroll painting has also begun to spread in several surrounding cities.

Although they are all economically underdeveloped and struggling regions, the lower-tier market is still a market.

Moreover, given the quality of the scrolls produced by the Underworld Club, it can further enhance the combat power of the spirit master groups in other brother cities, thereby promoting the economic development of the cities.

However, recently, due to the closure of intercity transportation routes, the overall economic environment has not been very good. Many cities with a single economic focus are seeking to develop their own domestic economic cycle.

In contrast, although Yaoyang City and its neighboring cities have weak economies, their economic systems and models are relatively healthy due to their independent autonomy.

In the current situation, they are actually living a more comfortable life than some more developed cities.

In particular, the construction and popularization of the Land Temple Farm directly solved the most basic problem of food for the people.

In Yaoyang City, six City God Temples have been built throughout the city.

The plan is to have Mayor Chen Shih-lung negotiate with other sister cities to promote the City God Temple there as well.

Subsequently, these seven independent and autonomous old cities will become the base for the incense and prayer plan.

Wu Xian's research and efforts were also not idle.

I've been researching spiritual medicine for the past two days.

There are no talents in this field in Yaoyang City. The association does have one, but he is only a mediocre person.

The recent surge in prices of cultivation and everyday medicines has even become unbearable for the association, which still supports a large number of scroll painters and spirit tamers.

After two days of research, I've figured out some tricks of the trade.

"It's clearly a world depicted in a scroll painting, so why aren't the medicines presented in the same way?"

Wu Xian doesn't quite understand some of the principles behind contemporary spiritual medicine theories.

However, there are clearly reasons why spiritual medicine failed to develop a scroll system.

For this reason, Wu Xian even consulted Master Xue.

"How should I put it?" Master Xue pondered, organizing his thoughts. "The preparation of spiritual medicines is somewhat similar to Xiao Lin's tattoo ink; both are meant to be integrated into and act on the human body."

Historically, there have been attempts to create illustrated scrolls depicting medicinal substances, but the results were unsatisfactory.

"I see," Wu Xian said, suddenly realizing.

Just like the problem the tattoo guy encountered before, the power of the scroll itself is incompatible with the human body; it either cannot take effect or has an irreversible impact on the human body.

"Now that we've seen how Xiaolin's human tattooing is possible, the medicine scroll should theoretically be a possibility as well," Master Xue pondered. "You could try that direction."

"Does that also require a deep understanding of the human body's spiritual structure?" Wu Xian asked.

"Of course." Third Master Xue neither agreed nor disagreed, and handed him a research notebook on the spiritual structure of the human body. "Study it yourself, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Thank you, Third Master," Wu Xian said gratefully.

"Still calling me Third Master? I've heard about your affair with Xiao Lingling for a while now," Third Master Xue teased. "There's no need for formalities among family."

"Okay, Third Uncle." Wu Xian chuckled. "Speaking of which, have you made any progress on your end lately?"

Master Xue smiled mysteriously, "Originally there was no progress, but the composite divine power factor produced by the underworld gave me a lot of inspiration. However, the formation principle of the composite divine power factor is quite complicated, and we still need to continue to study it."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded, indicating his support.

After returning to his villa, he began to delve into the spiritual structure of the human body, combining this with some pharmacology books he had collected.

As for the tattoo artist's theory, as the second-best human body painting master today, he has already thoroughly understood human body painting. In essence, it is about weakening and simplifying the background elements in the painting concept according to a unique logic.

"If we could create a scroll depicting someone skilled in alchemy, would the divine map contain any relevant laws or principles for reference?"

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, sensing that it was feasible.

It's definitely unrealistic to think of Laozi (Taishang Laojun); he's already the pinnacle of alchemy.

However, besides Laozi, there are quite a few others who are proficient in this art.

Divine healers, medicine kings, and medical sages would probably be out of reach in this extraordinary world, but if we trace their lineage back further, they take on a mythical quality.
