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

Chapter 46 Fate Mark, Commander of the Wasps

"Tearing apart a monster with bare hands?" Wu Xian was secretly shocked.

It's important to know that ghosts and monsters are generally spirits, and they are naturally highly immune to physical damage.

Tearing apart monsters with bare hands is clearly not something that can be accomplished with mere spiritual power cultivation.

“That’s right, it’s outrageous! Zhang Mazi and his gang are definitely up to something,” Zhao He said with a serious expression. “So I had the brothers keep an eye on them for a few days and they found that they kept going to one place, but we didn’t dare to go in and investigate.”

"Where?"

"Over there at the entrance to the rat trail in the North Street area."

Wu Xian silently noted down the address and gestured for Zhao He and the others to leave.

It can only be said that Du Yifan was right; the North District is indeed full of hidden talents, with all sorts of people.

It's incredible that someone could perform such a miraculous feat of integrating spiritual substances into the human body. I wonder how they did it?
I opened the door and went home.

The old man is still wandering around outside, enjoying a typical retirement life.

After eating a little something, he began to "burn" various materials to refine and enhance the Soul Divine Diagram.

More than a million rare spiritual materials were thrown in, and within just over an hour, they were automatically refined and absorbed by the natal divine diagram.

During the refining process, the scroll depicting the God of Wealth also seemed to undergo some kind of change.

He hurriedly took out the God of Wealth scroll from the divine map. The dark red blood-red life axis was obviously much more exquisite than before. A golden-red pattern seeped out from the inside of the scroll, and there was a wisp of golden-red light swirling around the scroll, which was very cool.

"This is...an upgrade?"

As soon as the God of Wealth was summoned, his overall aura indeed became much stronger.

While pondering, I logged back into that niche forum of experts, and there were still private messages from the experts I had received last time.

Wu Xian didn't bother to check, and directly edited and posted: "Does the Crimson Fate Axis not have specific grade distinctions?"

Shortly after the post was published, I received kind replies from the experts.

Beihai Lao Zhou: "Here he comes again, this swindler is back!"

Four generations under one roof: "Sincerity brings miracles? Is there any point in that?"

Man Sanquan: "Someone dares to try and fool us! We need an explanation today!"

"What can I do about this? Stop with the pretentious nonsense, just show me the photos!"

Beihai Lao Zhou: "You really think we old guys are easy to talk to, huh?"

Wu Xian was immediately bombarded with criticism, leaving him somewhat stiff. It seemed that without revealing something, it would be difficult to extract any useful information.

So I casually took a picture of the scroll depicting the God of Wealth, posted it in the thread, and captioned it: "???"

After the photo was posted, the big shots instantly changed their tune.

Man Sanquan: "Holy crap, it's really an ancient scroll painting?!"

"What can I do to you, sir?" the arrogant man asked. "May I ask your honorable name, great sir?"

Beihai Lao Zhou: "I spoke a little loudly just now, please forgive me, senior, let's get in touch~!"

Four generations under one roof: "Just condensed a life mark? Probably just made it recently, doesn't know anything, doesn't seem like an old guy, seems like a young person who just got lucky."

Beihai Lao Zhou: "That makes sense!"

"What can I do to you, young master? Are you interested in developing your skills at the Peak Dojo? I'll give you the green light."

Man Sanquan: "DM me, I'll definitely reward you handsomely!"

Four generations under one roof: "Young friend, do you believe in fate?"

What can I do about this arrogant guy? "Damn it, they ran away again!"

Seeing Wu Xian log off, the group of big shots were almost frantic.

At this moment, Wu Xian was gazing thoughtfully at the golden-red light flowing on the blood-red life axis, "So, the ancient scroll painting method distinguishes grades based on this thing called life mark?"

As expected, these older generations really know a lot.

With the ancient painting scroll in hand, I can still fish out these old masters a few more times.

"Now that I have the certificate, it's time to go to the Scroll Painter Forum for further study."

I took out my trainee scroll painter certificate and registered and logged into the scroll painter forum using the number on the certificate.

A whole new world opened its doors to him.

Although the information on the forum is disorganized and certainly can't compare to the formal education in an art studio, it's enough for Wu Xian.

After all, all he lacked was some basic knowledge and common sense about scroll painting. For several days in a row, Wu Xian was completely immersed in the scroll painting forum.

He didn't post, he just browsed through posts, frantically absorbing knowledge from them.

As he gained a deeper understanding of the scroll painting profession, he also gained a clearer appreciation for the value of his master's sister's position as a scroll painter at the dojo.

Of course, he wasn't idle when it came to cultivating spiritual energy either.

With the combined blessing of the laurel tree and the spiritual energy amplification liquid, his spiritual power cultivation successfully entered the third level, his total spiritual power doubled, and his physical fitness was also greatly enhanced.

Inside the cozy new home, the laws of heaven and earth slowly converged.

"These premium drawing papers, costing 3,000 yuan a sheet, are really something else!"

The spiritual drawing paper is divided into four grades: good, excellent, fine, and premium. The higher the quality, the greater the spiritual capacity it can bear, and the more stable the process of combining the "system" and "hardware" will be.

The more complex and sophisticated the scroll painting, the higher the quality of the paper required.

Most importantly, high-quality drawing paper itself possesses extremely high spirituality and spiritual energy, which can improve the initial level of the drawing spirit to a certain extent.

In theory, the limit of premium drawing paper is three-star spirit, but in actual operation, it is difficult to perfectly preserve these spirits and spiritual energy.

How much can be preserved depends on the skill of the scroll artist.

On the shimmering canvas, a humanoid wasp gradually takes shape, its black, yellow, and brown colors interspersed. It has a pair of translucent wings folded behind it, two eerie antennae on its head, ferocious mouthparts, well-developed limbs, a venomous stinger at its tail that gleams coldly, and holds a net that looks like a summoning banner.

The overall image is gloomy and terrifying, which is definitely the style that Master Sister likes.

Among the Ten Great Yin Generals in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, the figure of the Hornet General gradually lit up.

The painting in front of them was locked by a continuous stream of power of law, shining with divine light. The silver scroll slowly condensed, and strands of golden light transformed into golden threads, embroidering a golden border around the painting.

[Wasp Commander]

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Silver switch

Painting Spirit: ★★

Spirituality: 53
Talent Traits: Soul-Devouring Venomous Sting, Soul-Catching Shadow

"Tsk tsk, the difference is really noticeable when the ingredients are better."

Wu Xian was very satisfied with the finished product of the Hornet General.

With level-four Zerg materials and several rare spiritual substances, these pigments from General Wasp are undoubtedly the pinnacle of Wu Xian's current mixing abilities.

As for premium drawing paper, retaining a two-star drawing spirit level is already a pretty good result.

"Let's get some good materials later and reconstruct the Second Master Wuchang as well."

Just as I was thinking of taking the Hornet General to the Zerg Dimension dungeon for some fresh air, my phone suddenly rang.

"Oh right," Wu Xian slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about my serious career!"

The excited voice of Tang Benghao came from the other end of the phone, "Brother, the auto show is about to start, come quickly!"

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, I quickly went outside.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard a series of complaining conversations coming from near the trash cans by the door.

"What the hell? Aren't people living here? How come there isn't even a single piece of valuable trash?"

"Probably just another poor spirit master. No fun, let's go."

As the two complained, they happened to meet Wu Xian's gaze, their awkward expressions revealing a hint of shock.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Wu Xian recognized the two men as Zhang Mazi's henchmen and immediately joked, "Haven't seen Brother Zhang Mazi much lately, where have you been making your fortune?"

"Boss... Boss... no longer needs to pick up trash."

The two younger brothers stammered and trembled.

“No wonder,” Wu Xian asked, taking the opportunity to inquire, “Speaking of which, I think your human body modification is quite impressive. Who did it? Could you introduce me? I’m quite interested.”

"What body modification? That's magnificent human body painting art!"

The two younger brothers seemed to care about this, and mustered up their courage to emphasize it to Wu Xian.
