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

Chapter 479 Releasing the Longevity Pill

To put it bluntly, the Flesh and Blood Demon God is now just an endless mass of meat.

Aside from drowning you in a massive amount of blood and flesh, it doesn't have any other significant abilities.

But if he were to condense and give birth to a human body, the situation would be different.

What they need to do now is to prevent the Flesh and Blood Demon God from forming a physical body and concentrating that enormous power into one, thus becoming a true god-level being.

From a certain perspective, this may be the difference between a demon god and a true god.

Through this cancer-like process of endless proliferation, the demon god "devoured" and occupied an entire other dimension, gaining infinite power and size.

But ultimately, because of this method, it became a piece of meat that could be "slaughtered at will."

In short, taking the wrong path always comes at a price, with corresponding side effects to bear.

Of course, it's not that the Flesh and Blood Demon God is weak, it's just that it's currently in a rather awkward phase.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a piece of fat meat with no real skills right now; eliminating him won't be an easy task.

To put it bluntly, even if he lay there motionless, no one could completely kill him.

In layman's terms: infinite health, extremely high defense, currently somewhat weak attack power, and no decent attack skills, only a passive ability that infinitely regenerates health and mana.

This is roughly the kind of special BOSS that can be considered a natural punching bag.

Therefore, once the [Taotie] truly grows and evolves, there is a certain possibility.

To be honest, judging from the current situation, this flesh and blood demon god seems to be here to offer some benefits and warmth.

Especially after the discovery of the zombie scroll as a potential application, it became like a gold mine that could never be fully exploited.

It seems the Flesh and Blood Demon God's invasion was a bit hasty.

He should have developed a physical body before invading.

Perhaps it just so happened that there was a loophole on the "heaven's" side, and coupled with the loneliness of being banished outside for too long, they couldn't wait any longer.

Or perhaps Mayor Chen Shilong also played a role in enticing us?

If that's the case, then the mayor's contribution and role are truly immense.

After all, the evil god in this awkward state is a completely different concept from the evil god who has given birth to a physical body.

If it were the latter, the current disaster would not be in this situation.

Thinking of this, Wu Xian felt a strange pang of heartache.

Although it's just a reasonable guess, the possibility is still quite high.

Even putting that aside, Chen Shilong's dedication to protecting Yaoyang City's "property rights" and preventing the evil god from succeeding is enough to show that he devoted himself to Yaoyang City.

Therefore, we must break in as soon as possible, find a way to locate Chen Shilong, and rescue him.

"Elder Corpse Beetle, how's the situation on your end?" Wu Xian took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Elder Corpse Beetle beside him.

"The effect is limited. The flesh and blood power is still too tough, making it slow to devour." Elder Corpse Beetle said with a helpless self-deprecating laugh. "In the end, my Corpse Beetle is still a bit lacking. If its level and rank could be improved, it would be much easier."

"It's alright," Wu Xian smiled slightly, and then summoned the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen to his side. "What do you think of this corpse energy?"

As soon as the Corpse Ancestor General appeared, overwhelming corpse energy and baleful aura instantly filled the front-line battlefield.

Even a top expert like Elder Feng was horrified by the extremely ferocious corpse energy.

Elder Corpse Beetle was also terrified, but what followed was an extreme excitement and exhilaration.

"This...this..." Elder Corpse Beetle's voice trembled, his words incoherent, "There really is such a powerful zombie scroll in the world?"

In his view, the power of the zombie scroll before him was enough to bring about a qualitative change in his corpse beetle.

It can not just be a single qualitative change, but many times.

I always thought that my corpse beetle had reached its limit in evolution, and it would be difficult to make any qualitative improvement.

But when he saw the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, he realized that what he had always thought was the peak was actually at the foot of another peak.

To put it simply, just one bite.

His corpse beetles can undergo a fundamental and tremendous transformation.

"Does the young master need an old servant or a steward or something?" Elder Corpse Beetle said in a loss of composure. "This old man wants to stay by the young master's side. I have a feeling that with the power of your scroll, my Corpse Beetle might be able to transform to an unimaginable height."

"..." Wu Xian was both amused and exasperated. "You're exaggerating. I'm now a member of the association. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Or I can give you an original authorization document so you can study and comprehend it yourself."

"Huh?" Elder Corpse Beetle exclaimed in disbelief, "This...this...what have I done to deserve this?"

At this moment, Elder Corpse Beetle felt ashamed and unworthy of himself.

There was nothing he could do; the power and aura of the Corpse Ancestor were far too strong, far exceeding his comprehension of their strength.

Uncle Fengxu, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown. "Such an incredible zombie scroll is unheard of. It must have cost a fortune."

“Theoretically, it would be quite expensive,” Wu Xian joked, “but the materials are readily available.”

"Ready-made?" Elder Feng was stunned.

"Hey~" Wu Xian gestured and glanced at the demon god's hemorrhoids, "Our club has already been equipped with a massive amount of god-level zombie materials, and they are now rampaging across the rear battlefield."

"You mean the flesh and blood of the evil god?" Elder Feng and the rest of the association were shocked. "Won't it be affected by the evil power?" "It's not very safe to use it directly," Wu Xian said with a light smile, glancing at Sister Tiao's side. "We have to thank the God of Mechanical Creation for the technical support he provided. He has a technology that can extinguish the evil power in the flesh and blood."

Although our technical capabilities are limited and unable to handle the sheer size of the demon god, they are still sufficient for purifying some of its flesh and blood as materials.

Upon hearing this, the members of the association looked at each other, both surprised and delighted.

"Hahaha, as expected of my Feng family's little grandson," Elder Feng laughed heartily, "The rise of our association is just around the corner!"

What does it mean to popularize and mass-produce top-tier scrolls of this caliber?
To put it simply, a scroll of this caliber would be the kind of scroll that any faction would immediately recognize as its most prized possession, passed down through generations as a treasured heirloom.

A truly divine scroll painting.

Let alone equipping all members of the association, any family or force that has ten such top-tier scrolls and cultivates them can do whatever they want.

“However, this kind of scroll is not suitable for everyone,” Wu Xian added thoughtfully. “The level of corpse energy and evil energy is too high, which can easily have a negative impact on the holder’s body.”

But elders like Elder Corpse Beetle, who have long since adapted to the corpse energy, are perfectly suited for this task.

"It's alright, our association has no shortage of all sorts of quirky and niche talents," Elder Feng laughed. "Later, my uncle will have his people screen a group of people and form a zombie special operations department."

Compared to those dojos, the association has fewer top-level fighters.

But because there are so many people, it's fair to say that there are no niche categories within the association.

You can find a large group of like-minded people in any niche field you can think of within the association.

"The most urgent task right now is to open up the passage to the new abyss as soon as possible," Wu Xian said solemnly. "I'm worried that Mayor Chen's side won't be able to hold out, so I'm also asking the association and all parties to find Mayor Chen's whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Mayor Chen?" Elder Feng was stunned. "Which mayor of Yaoyang City?"

“That’s right.” Wu Xian explained his guess simply.

Upon hearing this, the uncle and the association leaders felt a surge of respect and immediately took it seriously.

“If that’s the case, then this mayor has truly done a great service to humanity,” Elder Feng took a deep breath and solemnly said, “Pass down the order to make finding Mayor Chen the top priority on the front line, and to maximize the reward for his merits.”

"Once we've entered the new abyss, we must rescue Mayor Chen."

"Understood!" the association solemnly accepted the order.

In their view, Chen Shilong was definitely a "parent official" worthy of being honored by the people with a monument erected in his honor.

These political figures are also the type of people the association respects the most.

After all, for thousands of years, the association has never forgotten its original mission, always placing the protection of the people and humanity in the highest position.

Subsequently, the leaders of various departments of the association quickly took action.

The reinforcements from all sides also received the news one after another, and were astonished by the rewards and bounties offered by the association.

But after all, it's a matter of risking one's life to enter a new abyss. Although all parties say they will cooperate, they may not be willing to fully cooperate in their hearts.

Even though the association has explained the current predicament of the Demon God, no one can guarantee what they will encounter after entering the new abyss.

"If possible, could we try adding a few Longevity Pills?" Uncle Feng Xu suggested. "Only this can truly move all parties involved."

“Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit,” Wu Xian said knowingly.

Now he no longer needs to worry about the trouble caused by the exposure of the [Longevity Pill].

If a few Longevity Pills could be used as a prize to rescue Mayor Chen as soon as possible, it would be absolutely worthwhile for him.

“That’s excellent,” Uncle Feng Xu squinted and chuckled to himself. “As long as these few are displayed, I’m afraid all those old guys from various sides will have to come out and stretch their muscles.”

As an old fellow himself, he naturally understood the allure of the Longevity Pill to the old folks.

Sure enough, the moment the brief information about the [Longevity Pill] was sent out, people from all sides immediately became agitated, and one by one they began to contact their elders and higher-ups.

"What? Longevity Pill? One pill can add five months to one's life?"

"And they released six at once, five, six, thirty, that's thirty months, nearly three years of lifespan."

"Really? The association has such good stuff?"

“It is obviously true without a doubt,” many dojo leaders analyzed. “Given the current situation, the association would not risk its thousand-year-old reputation.”

"Hiss~ Those old guys in the association are really good at keeping things hidden. They've never let a word about this kind of good stuff slip by?"

"That's wonderful! With this Longevity Pill, our old man can last for a few more years!"

"We have to get them first. The association's message is very clear: whoever finds and rescues Mayor Chen will get the six Longevity Pills."

"But speaking of which, what is so special about Mayor Chen that the association would bring out such a treasured item?"

"Could it be that Mayor Chen is hiding some major secret?"

As the crowd exchanged glances, they couldn't help but begin to secretly investigate Mayor Chen's background.

In contrast, the Gym members, while shocked, remained relatively calm and even seemed to have guessed what was going on.

Moreover, given Sister Tiao's status, she would have already gone to great lengths to rescue Mayor Chen anyway, so whether or not she had these Longevity Pills wouldn't have mattered.

"Sister Jump, have a chat with Brother Xian later," the elder of the Mechanical Dojo, who was leading the team, whispered a reminder: "This is a big deal."
