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

Chapter 444 Helping the Divine Beasts Spread Their Branches

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are not enough when meeting a good friend, but a single word is too little when meeting an estranged person.

After chatting for a while, the two felt like they had known each other for a long time.

In particular, Xu Qingshan's knowledge and insights into dragon-type creatures are absolutely the highest he has ever met.

It's hard to imagine that in a world where everything depends on imagination and brainstorming, someone could organize and explore the abstract creature "dragon" to this extent.

On the other hand, Xu Qingshan was also greatly impressed by some of the ideas proposed by Wu Xian.

Beyond mere insights into "bloodline," Wu Xian before him seemed to possess unique perspectives in every aspect, leaving him in awe.

When he first heard about Wu Xian's performance in the Mechanical Dojo Invitational Tournament, he didn't have any strong feelings about it.
Only after actually meeting him did I realize just how extraordinary Wu Xian's talent for painting scrolls truly was.

It seems that he has his own unique insights and ingenious ideas about various types of picture scrolls, and his ideas are very different from the mainstream ideas of various types of picture scrolls today. It is a completely new approach.

Is this what makes "unorthodox" skills valuable?
Of course, not all unorthodox methods are valuable; most unorthodox methods are just mediocre and unsophisticated.

Only those who truly develop their skills and gain recognition from consumers and society through unconventional methods, like Wu Xian, can be considered true masters of unconventional methods.
That's right, it's the big boss!
After just one conversation with Wu Xian, Xu Qingshan realized that Wu Xian would definitely become a world-class figure in the future.

Or rather, Wu Xian is already shining with the brilliance of a "big shot".

For example, the peculiar dog in front of them, and the chubby little creature in Wu Xian's arms, both exude an extraordinary aura.

After exploring with Wu Xian, they were even more amazed by the high-quality paintings he possessed.

It's important to know that Wu Xian's beast-themed scrolls didn't incorporate any "bloodline technology"; they relied entirely on his natural talent.

Even relying solely on its foundation, it was still superior to any beast-themed scroll he had ever seen.

In particular, Wu Xian's subsequent release of Bi Fang into battle left him utterly astonished.

"That flame...that flame..."

After witnessing the extraordinary properties and power of the Bifang Divine Fire, Xu Qingshan was completely stunned.

"Brother Wu, are you sure your beast-type scroll doesn't include any bloodline structure?" Xu Qingshan asked in surprise.

“Of course not,” Wu Xian shook his head and smiled. “In fact, I wanted to ask Brother Xu about some knowledge of bloodline structure.”

Xu Qingshan gasped in shock, "So that's the concept of primordial bloodline, a primordial divine beast level?"

"Primal bloodline?"

"It refers to those beast-type scrolls that don't need the support of bloodline architecture technology and possess top-notch bloodline power purely through their original conception," Xu Qingshan explained. "Like the black scrolls in our Divine Beast Gym."

"No need for bloodline architecture technology?" Wu Xian asked in confusion. "Does that mean my divine bird doesn't need this technology?"

“That’s not quite right,” Xu Qingshan explained. “It’s just that for these kinds of primordial divine beasts, bloodline architecture technology is more like icing on the cake. Theoretically, it can further enhance and optimize this bloodline power.”

Wu Xian's eyes brightened slightly.

In other words, with the support of the bloodline architecture technology, the extraordinary properties of the Bifang Divine Fire can be further enhanced and improved?
That's impressive technology!

This skill must be learned, and it must be learned well.

"How can I learn this skill in depth?" Wu Xian asked seriously. "Do I have to join your Divine Beast Gym?"

“Brother Wu is interested,” Xu Qingshan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Then you’ve come to the right person. Normally, you can only learn this technique by joining the Divine Beast Gym, but I do have the authority to share it.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was startled. "Is this really alright?"

Bloodline structure is the core technology of the current Legendary Beast Gym, so it cannot be taught to outsiders casually.

Xu Qingshan smiled slightly and explained, "To be honest, my maternal grandfather was the founder of the bloodline architecture technology. He had absolute control over this technology."

"?!" Wu Xian was both surprised and delighted. He quickly calmed himself down and said seriously, "I can't accept a reward without merit. Brother Xu, please state your terms."

"You're too kind," Xu Qingshan said politely. "My grandfather's original intention was to develop and expand the Beast Clan Scroll System. He never hesitated to give any promising young people his due."

In fact, my grandfather joined the Legendary Pokémon Gym for two reasons: firstly, to connect with the lineage of those who inherited the Beast-type scrolls, and secondly, to promote the wider adoption of this technique.

"This senior has a truly broad vision!" Wu Xian exclaimed with sincere admiration.

Xu Qingshan chuckled, then changed the subject, "I wonder if I would have the honor of experiencing the power of the Bifang divine bird's bloodline? Like my grandfather, I am also obsessed with this path."

"You can even study bloodline power from the scroll?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

“Yes, but it will be very troublesome,” Xu Qingshan nodded and said, “You need to cultivate it to a sufficient level yourself. The higher the level of cultivation, the clearer the bloodline power you can perceive.”

Therefore, I need a copy of the Bifang Divine Bird; a silver scroll will suffice.

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

To put it simply, in order to study the primordial bloodline power rooted in the scrolls, one must become a Spirit Master, fight alongside the corresponding scrolls, and improve one's skill level before one can possibly glimpse and comprehend the power of that primordial bloodline.

A mere silver scroll, Bifang, was nothing to Wu Xian.

Furthermore, if Xu Qingshan wants to further study Bi Fang's bloodline power, he must increase his training level with Bi Fang to provide him with the energy for enlightenment.

As for the issue of the "outflow" of Bifang's bloodline, it is not a major problem in itself.

After all, [Bifang] is the root of the Bifang bloodline, and only with the concept of Bifang can the powerful force of the Bifang bloodline be truly unleashed.

Xu Qingshan researched the power of the Bifang bloodline, but at most he could only "stitch and hybridize" it into some other bird and beast scrolls to enhance the strength of those beast scrolls.

From a certain perspective, these scrolls, which are infused with the bloodline of Bifang, can be considered as Bifang's descendants.

If we think about the long term...

Once the divine realm is established in the future, these "descendants" can also become Bifang's vassal forces, further enhancing Bifang's future development of the divine realm and increasing the "weight" of Bifang's legal lineage.

It's definitely all benefits and no harm!

The materials required for the Silver Axis Bifang are not very high. Wu Xian was able to gather most of them with some miscellaneous materials, and with the addition of some materials from Xu Qingshan, he quickly gathered all the materials for the Silver Axis Bifang.

Not long after, Wu Xian drew a silver scroll of Bifang for Xu Qingshan on the spot and solemnly handed it to him.

Xu Qingshan didn't waste any words and directly shared some core information about the bloodline architecture technology with Wu Xian, including valuable information left by his maternal grandfather when he was developing this technology.

In short, both sides felt they had gotten a great deal.

Watching Xu Qingshan leave excitedly, Wu Xian couldn't stop smiling.

What does "mutual benefit" mean?

That's what you call mutual benefit.

After exchanging contact information, if there are any questions later, you can ask Xu Qingshan via WeChat.

The key figure is the senior figure behind Xu Qingshan, the founder of the Bloodline Architecture technology.

"Speaking of which, could we use the spread of this technology to help our mythical beasts multiply and thrive?"

On the way back, Wu Xian pondered to himself. The power of the bloodline of those divine beasts in his previous life was undoubtedly extraordinary. If they could "propagate" among the beast-type scroll groups in this world, it would be a great thing for the construction and development of the future divine realm.

It's possible that in the future, the entire scroll of the Mythical Beast Dojo will have to be filled with images of the descendants of Chinese mythical beasts.
Of course, this is a story.

The focus right now is still on the treasure-spitting rat and the Mani jewel.

After eating the "carrot mole," the treasure-spitting rat fell into a drowsy state, continuously drawing wealth energy from Wu Xian's body to use as digestive energy.

Meanwhile, the God of Wealth has returned from "tutoring the children" at the mushroom farm, looking utterly exhausted.

"So, is there any chance?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"It seems a bit, but it also seems not," the God of Wealth said with a hint of resentment. "Let's take it slow. At least that little mushroom is obedient and eager to learn, just a bit dull."

Wu Xian chuckled and then started talking about the treasure-spitting rat and the "radish mole".

“That beast is indeed quite remarkable; it should be able to produce a considerable number of Mani Jewels,” the God of Wealth analyzed. “Moreover, it seems to have a certain evolutionary driving effect on the Treasure-Spitting Rat.”

"Evolve? The Treasure-Spitting Rat can evolve?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

The God of Wealth smiled without saying a word, as if he were hiding something.

Looking at the little cutie in his arms, and then thinking about the identity of the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming in the "Investiture of the Gods" system, Wu Xian vaguely had a bold idea.

"Should we devour more strange and exotic rodents in the future?" Wu Xian asked tentatively.

"Very good." The God of Wealth smiled with narrowed eyes.

Wu Xian suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, aren't you going to give priority to your three younger sisters?"

“That’s natural,” the God of Wealth said without hesitation. “But it would be best if you made our sister yourself. It would save a lot of trouble. I’ll see if I can use the power of the Jianmu tree to bring the three sisters over.”

……

Mythical Beast Gym, Gym University.

The group, led by the former headmaster, emerged from the fourth-level difficulty level of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Although the old principal and secretary managed to subdue the absurd monkey thanks to their combined strength, everyone knew in their hearts that their victory was not honorable.

The monkey's power was ultimately limited by the power of the fourth-tier dungeon.

If you were to compare their paintings to those of a monkey, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the monkey's teeth.

"So, Principal, do you still think your graduation standards are reasonable?" several scions of wealthy families asked resentfully.

“It is somewhat unreasonable,” the old headmaster pondered, “but according to my observation, there should be more than one way to clear the Flower and Fruit Mountain instance, so the previous standards do not need to be changed.”

If you have the ability, go and challenge that divine monkey; if you don't, avoid it and find other ways to pass the level.

After saying this, he ignored the students' reactions, glanced at his secretary beside him, and left in a hurry.

Compared to the difficulty of Flower and Fruit Mountain, they are more concerned about the production type of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

After this experience and observation, the two can almost confirm that Huaguo Mountain is definitely a type of the first generation of the realm.

It's hard to imagine that someone could successfully replicate this ancient technology.

And he's a young man who couldn't be younger.

If only we could get that kid to join their Mythical Beast Gym.

"Father-in-law, do you think those demonic beasts in Flower Fruit Mountain possess some kind of powerful bloodline?" The secretary beside him analyzed curiously, "Otherwise, why are they all so powerful? Especially that divine monkey, it's simply unbelievable."

The old headmaster analyzed: "According to my observation, the power of those monsters does not seem to be at the level of bloodline, but the possibility of having a powerful bloodline cannot be ruled out."

Keep an eye on the Underworld Club's updates. If any related monster scrolls are released, please let me know immediately.

"Yes, Father-in-law." The secretary respectfully accepted the order.

"By the way, what about Qingshan?" The old headmaster changed the subject. "Such an excellent domain instance, we can let him experience it later. It will definitely be very beneficial to his future development."

The secretary shook her head and said, "It seems he went to search for bloodlines. Influenced by you, that child is obsessed with bloodline power."

"Don't you even know whose grandson he is?" The old principal proudly raised his chin.

She was very pleased with her precious grandson.

Just then, my beloved grandson walked in from outside and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are the younger students arguing so loudly?"

The former principal and secretary exchanged a smile and briefly explained the situation of [Huaguo Mountain].

"Such a difficult dungeon?" Xu Qingshan was secretly surprised. "I'll give it a try later."

"The quality of the monsters in the Flower Fruit Mountain instance is truly exceptional," the old headmaster praised.

But then his beloved grandson asked excitedly, even with a hint of slyness, "Grandpa, Father, guess what good thing I found this time?"

"Oh~ Could it be that you've found some superior bloodline?" the old headmaster asked with a smile.

“We did find two high-quality bloodlines,” Xu Qingshan said enthusiastically, “but that’s not the point. The point is that we met an outstanding young man and obtained a scroll with a powerful primordial bloodline from him.”

"A young man? A scroll depicting the primordial bloodline?"

"That's right, you should have heard of that young man, he's Wu Xian who stole the show at the Mechanical Dojo Invitational Tournament."

Upon hearing this, the old principal and the secretary exclaimed in unison, "It's that kid again?"

"Again?" Xu Qingshan asked, puzzled.

The old principal and the secretary exchanged a strange look.

……

Inside a small villa in the North District of Yaoyang City.

Wu Xian became completely immersed in the research of bloodline architecture technology. The more he studied it, the more he realized that this technology was extraordinary.

In his view, this technology is almost comparable to Tang Beng's mechanical carving technique.

It belongs to that kind of disruptive, revolutionary great technology.

Fundamentally, it raises the bar for traditional beast-themed scrolls, giving all beast-themed scrolls limitless possibilities.

The senior researcher who figured out this technology was definitely a talent.

To this end, Wu Xian even searched for information about the founder of the Bloodline Architecture technology, and found that he was also born into a humble background.

In his youth, he was invincible in the local area with this skill, and was eventually invited by several major families of the Divine Beast Gym to officially join the Divine Beast Gym.

It holds an extremely high position in the Mythical Beast Gym and enjoys immense prestige among the general public.
