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

Chapter 56 has been incorporated?
A rich, precious light suddenly appeared beside Wu Xian.

The God of Wealth made a dazzling entrance, riding a black tiger, holding a steel whip in one hand and a gold ingot in the other. His body was filled with the aura of wealth and treasure, forcefully dispelling the yin and evil spirits around him.

With a roar from the black tiger beneath him, all the bandits trembled with fear.

The bandits' horses, now slain, neighed in panic.

Zhou Qi, standing to the side, was taken aback by the appearance of the God of Wealth. "Such a powerful aura and presence! Has he already reached Silver Axis Four-Star?"

He had seen the God of Wealth before, but his attention was focused on the Chicken King at the time.

Only now did he realize that this majestic and awe-inspiring humanoid spirit was Wu Xian's true main force.

boom! boom! boom!
As the God of Wealth raised his steel whip, thunder roared above the dilapidated mansion.

Bolts of lightning struck down, inflicting heavy damage on the bandits caught in the melee.

"So, lightning magic really is the nemesis of evil spirits?"

In short: when the power within the rules can't suppress the opponent, use the power outside the rules.

After condensing his first life mark, the God of Wealth's strength was no longer what it used to be.

Furthermore, with the added blessing from the condensation of the Five Gods of Wealth divine image, its combat power is even more astonishing.

Seeing that the lightning-attribute attack was effective, Zhou Qi's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately threw out his silver-axis three-and-a-half-star mechanical scroll. Although it was a humanoid machine, it was more like a mobile turret.

Under Zhou Qi's control, the mechanical turret unleashed beams of electrical energy, displaying considerable power.

As it turned out, the lightning attack was indeed quite lethal to the bandits.

However, compared to Wu Xian's lightning attack from the scroll, the effect was significantly inferior.

"Strange, both are lightning attacks, so why is there such a big difference?"

Watching the bandits scream in agony as they were struck by the God of Wealth's lightning, only to be subdued by the combined forces of the Black and White Impermanence, Zhou Qi was incredibly envious.

"Could the lightning strikes also carry the power of laws that restrain Yin spirits?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi was secretly alarmed.

On the other hand, Wu Xian had been killing monsters until his hands were sore, feeling the strands of spiritual energy flowing into his body, and looking at the high-quality monster materials in the scroll, he couldn't stop smiling.

Xue Lingling, who was observing from high above, naturally noticed this amazing scene.

She had noticed that this scroll was quite impressive when she was in the Dimensional Mirage, and now it seems to be even more impressive.

"Where do all these strange ideas come from in my little disciple's head?"

While everyone was wondering what was going on, Wu Xian had already captured the last bandit below.

There were a total of eight bandit monsters, but Zhou Qi only managed to get the loot from one of them, while the remaining seven all fell into Wu Xian's hands.

The gap should not be too big.

With the fall of the last bandit, the energy of [Tier 1 Dead Mountain Town] was exhausted.

The surrounding scenery began to blur rapidly, and the remaining people were teleported out of the instance.

Inside the club's main hall.

The members who were eliminated early sighed and were still shaken by their experience of dying in the dungeon.

Seeing that everyone was suddenly teleported out, they thought they had been wiped out by the BOSS.

"What's going on?" Xue Qingyang, who had just been teleported out, was completely bewildered. "We were about to capture that vengeful bandit, how did I suddenly get teleported out?"

"The Tier 1 dungeon has run out of energy," Xue Lingling explained calmly.

Simply put, it means that it has already "cleared the level" ahead of everyone else.

Everyone then realized what was happening.

"Alright, this team building activity is now over," Xue Lingling announced. "Everyone should have felt the intensity of the scroll dungeon. Did you all feel your own powerlessness and insignificance?"

The members were all dejected, their faces bitter.

Only Wu Xian, Zhou Qi, and Xue Qingyang remained relatively calm.

Seeing this, Xue Lingling raised her hand and waved, and twelve bronze scroll copies appeared before everyone's eyes. "Come on, collect your Ghost King scrolls. With my Ghost King scrolls, I guarantee you will have no obstacles in the scroll dungeons in the future!"

The twelve club members' eyes lit up as they stepped forward one by one to receive their respective scrolls.

"Why isn't it the Soul-Devouring Ghost King?"

Xue Qingyang seemed dissatisfied with the Ghost King he had received.

“You are more suited to be the King of Demons,” Xue Lingling said calmly.

"alright."

Wu Xian observed everything, lost in thought. Xue Lingling clearly hadn't randomly distributed the Ghost King Scrolls among the group; rather, she had assigned different scrolls based on each person's characteristics and their performance in Dead Mountain Town.

"Tsk~ I've really gone all out this time," Xue Lingling said, seemingly a little distressed. "You'd better perform well in the upcoming bubble matches. The sales of my Ghost King Scroll will depend on you guys from now on. Don't let me down."

I thought the registration fee collected during the preliminary selection would be enough, but after calculating, I ended up losing quite a bit.

"Please rest assured, Chairman!" Du Yifan said, taking the lead.

"Very good!" Xue Lingling nodded in satisfaction. "Go to the various levels of the Dead Mountain Town dungeon in the Mysterious Abyss more often to accumulate energy for [Dead Mountain Town]."

"clear."

Everyone responded in unison.

Zhou Qi followed up by saying, "Anyone interested in my set of paintings can come find me. Club members can enjoy a 20% discount."

As a scroll artist, Zhou Qi's relationship with the club is more like a special collaboration.

In the future, they will develop their own branch within the club.

"Where's the vice president?" Xue Qingyang looked at Wu Xian expectantly. "Could you make a price list? That way, everyone will have something to look forward to."

“Okay,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “I’ll send it to you once I’ve finalized the price.”

"The Vice President is awesome!"

Xue Qingyang led the shouts.

There was no way around it; he was practically craving Wu Xian's undead-themed scroll that had tormented him so much.

At this moment, he has already set his next goal as becoming the "Black and White Impermanence".

As soon as Wu Xian announces the price list, he immediately places an order.

"Meeting adjourned, meeting adjourned. Remember to keep an eye on the group chat," Xue Lingling announced, "My good disciple, come with me."

The members parted ways chatting and laughing, and many were eager to experience the power of the Demon King's Scroll, forming groups of three or five to run dungeons at the Dimensional Gate.

Wu Xian followed his master sister to the president's "bedroom" inside the club.

"How well are you learning the ideas for painting the scroll that your teacher gave you?" Xue Lingling gradually adopted the air of a master.

"good."

“My idea for this set of paintings is quite profound, so don’t rush, take your time.” Xue Lingling smiled knowingly. “You can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”

Little did he know, Wu Xian had already mastered his approach to painting scrolls.

"Here, this is the authorized copy of [Soul Devouring Demon King]. Treat it well."

“Definitely,” Wu Xian said, examining the scroll in his hand with curiosity. “Why is it a silver axis? Shouldn’t it be a gold axis?”

"..." Xue Lingling said irritably, "Do you think gold axle materials are so easy to find?"

"Ok."

Wu Xian pouted sullenly.

He immediately probed his mental energy into the original copy authorized by the Soul Devouring Ghost King, and the scroll imprint of "Copyright Granted" merged into his sea of ​​consciousness along with his mental energy.

Then, a strange scene happened.

The divine diagram of the Ten Great Yin Generals, which was contained within the sea of ​​consciousness, seemed to sense something, automatically unfolded, and absorbed the authorization mark of the Soul Devouring Ghost King into the divine diagram with lightning speed.

Wu Xian felt a sudden commotion in the Ten Great Yin Generals' Divine Diagram.

A moment later, the discomfort disappeared, and the authorization mark of the Soul Devouring Ghost King was integrated into the mark of the Yin Marshal Ghost King, greatly enhancing the Ten Yin Marshal God Diagrams.

The sudden change startled Wu Xian.

"This means... they've been recruited?"

Is there really such a magical operation?
Looking at her senior sister Xue Lingling, she seemed unaware of this change.

While secretly relieved, he also gained a deeper understanding of the world's "copyright certification".

The copyright of the Soul-Eating Ghost King is clearly still with Xue Lingling, but after incorporating the Ten Great Yin Marshals' Divine Diagrams, it has formed a peculiar dual copyright.

As far as I can remember, the image of the Ghost King among the Ten Underworld Marshals does indeed have some connection with Buddhism.

Could that be the reason?
“Come, come, tell me any questions you have while studying the scroll,” Xue Lingling said, her teacher-like demeanor radiating brilliance. “With your guidance, I’m sure you can quickly become a qualified scroll artist.”

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly as he cautiously inquired, "Do you think that under different approaches to the illustrations, similar or related images might appear?"

“That’s possible,” Xue Lingling nodded thoughtfully.
