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

Chapter 58 Reconstructing the Ghost King, Upgrading the Silver Axis (Please continue reading)
After silently expressing my gratitude, I calmed down and carefully felt the new laws and patterns.

The more she felt, the more excited she became, to the point that she couldn't sleep all night.

Furthermore, with the emergence of these principles, my own concept for the scroll painting seems to have ushered in an opportunity for improvement and optimization.

Meanwhile, on Wu Xian's side...

They were also curiously studying the authorized copy of the [Soul-Devouring Demon King] in their hands.

It looks the same as before, and the version is still Xue Lingling's version, only the "authorization" has been incorporated and integrated by herself.

In addition, within the void of the Divine Diagram Laws, an additional law vein extended out from behind the Ghost King.

This brings several law threads from the [Soul-Devouring Ghost King] to the Ghost King.

You can even share some of Xue Lingling's growth experience in creating her amazing pictures.

"Surely my master won't find out?" Wu Xian asked with some worry.

So far, my mentor sister hasn't called.

Even if they had some suspicions, they probably wouldn't have connected it to him.

After calming down, I decided to refactor [Soul Devouring Demon King] into my own version.

I must say, the materials provided by the scroll dungeon are truly powerful. The spiritual substances inside, in terms of both purity and strength, far surpass those of ordinary dimensional monsters.

Most importantly, it has an extremely high level of rare spirituality and is completely free of impurities.

As products of Dead Mountain Town, these materials are undoubtedly the best materials for creating Dead Mountain Town-related scrolls.

However, this does not mean that other necromancy-themed scrolls cannot be used.

After adjusting and configuring the pigments, I infused my mental energy into the [Soul-Eating Demon King] to initiate the reconstruction.

Bang~!

The scroll shattered, leaving only a faint golden phantom image of the scroll that retained the spirit of the painting.

Take out a brand new sheet of paper and, under the reflection of the scroll's shadow, begin to reconstruct it.

Unlike the somewhat bloated appearance of the Soul-Eating Ghost King, the Ghost King among the Ten Yin Marshals has a more well-proportioned figure, with a blue face and fangs, fierce and ferocious, with red hair pointing to the sky, holding a demon-suppressing bell, looking exactly like a Yaksha.

Finally, the illusory image of the scroll fell into the painting, and the laws of heaven and earth converged anew, transforming into a brand new scroll.

【Ghost King】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Silver switch

Painting Spirit: ★★

Spirituality: 63
Talent Traits: Soul Devouring, Demon Suppression and Soul Capture, Soul Tear and Spirit Splitting
As he expected, after reconstruction, it indeed became his original work, while retaining the quality and remarkable spirit of the silver axis.

"It even incorporates the Devouring Talent of the Soul Devouring Ghost King?"

Wu Xian was secretly delighted, after all, the ability of the [Soul Devouring] move to devour Yin Souls and grow was still very powerful. Although it would reduce the material yield, the level of the painting spirit would also increase faster.

Next, continue mixing the corresponding pigments with the materials from the scroll copy to upgrade the Black and White Impermanence.

Unlike the Soul-Eating Demon King, the images of Black and White Impermanence are already fixed, so there is no need for a complete reconstruction.

Simply retouching, replacing and covering the original pigments will suffice.

After the finishing touches were completed, the bronze scroll of the Black and White Impermanence was locked by the laws of heaven and earth, and unsurprisingly transformed into a silver scroll.

Black and White Impermanence

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Silver switch

Painting Spirit: ★★★
Spirituality: 75
Innate Trait: Summoning and capturing souls, rewarding good and punishing evil.

"Tsk tsk, the quality of the materials really makes a difference."

Previously, during the Dimensional Mirage event, the Black and White Impermanence were polished once. Now, after two polishing upgrades, their spirituality has soared to 75 points.

Furthermore, with the overall improvement brought by the Silver Axis grade, I will definitely be able to take down the undead bandits in that Tier 1 Dead Mountain Town!
It's important to know that the improvement brought by the quality of the scroll is significant.

As the hardware carrier of the painting spirit, the higher the grade of the painting scroll, the greater the release of the painting spirit's performance.

This can be roughly understood as an upgrade from 1060 to 1070.
"These few horse bones are more than enough to be used as the main material for the silver shaft, but we are still lacking some auxiliary materials and ingredients."

Tomorrow I'll first clear out the Mysterious Abyss dungeon, then go to Boss Hu to fill in any gaps in my knowledge, focusing on saving money wherever possible. I'll spend the night cultivating and comprehending the laws of the divine diagram.

With the double blessing of the laurel tree and the psionic amplification liquid, the speed of psionic power improvement is quite impressive. However, the experience bar for level three psionic power is too long, and there is still a long way to go before reaching level four.

"I wish I could go to [Dead Mountain Town] a few more times."

The increase in spiritual energy from yesterday's trip to Dead Mountain Town was quite significant, at least equivalent to two or three days of his cultivation.

Of course, the main reason is that he himself is quite capable, so he has gained a lot of benefits.

"If the first-tier scroll dungeon is this powerful, imagine how amazing it will be at the second and third tiers!"

Unfortunately, the energy that Dead Mountain Town had previously accumulated has been completely consumed by the evil mayor.

This made Wu Xian harbor more resentment towards that mayor.

Wouldn't it be better to offer some support to the development of local clubs?
As he complained, a wisp of wealth emanated from his body and dissipated into the world, leaving Wu Xian stunned.

He only complained a few times, but the God of Wealth really did work his magic?

"It's good to feel disgusted."

On second thought, I actually felt pretty good.

I wonder what impact this wave of wealth from the God of Wealth will have?
Who cares? Let's go have some fun in the eerie abyss first, and we can also help my master sister's [Dead Mountain Town] gather some energy along the way.

Lock your door and head to the nearest North Dimensional Port, the eerie Abyss Dimensional Gate.

"Vice President?"

Not long after leaving home, they encountered Du Yifan and his two companions on their routine patrol.

Now that he holds the scroll depicting Xue Lingling, the Ghost King, he is a cut above the rest, making his two teammates envious.

"What the heck?" The slightly chubby and short pair next to him were dumbfounded. "Vice President?"

"That's right, the vice president is our president's disciple. You'd better be discerning when you see him in the future." Du Yifan clicked his tongue in admiration. "Are you heading to the Abyss of Mystery?"

Wu Xian nodded familiarly, "Together?"

"No, I'm on duty right now." Du Yifan sighed helplessly. "The dimensional monsters in the city have been leaking quite frequently lately, so I have to work overtime every day."

"Serve the people! Keep it up!"

Wu Xian gave a few words of encouragement with a chuckle, then strode away.

Watching Wu Xian walk away, the slightly chubby and short-skinned duo were still in shock. "That guy is a scroll painter? And he was taken in as a disciple by Xue Lingling?"

"Don't even mention you guys, I'm still totally confused," Du Yifan exclaimed. "Remember those twin painting spirits, one black and one white? They were incredibly powerful."

Du Yifan began to describe it vividly.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian had already arrived at the dimensional gate.

Upon returning to the beginner dungeon area, select the Dead Mountain Town outpost entrance, show your Ghost King Club badge, and ask, "Hello, are Ghost King Club members exempt from admission?"

"Yes, dear," the staff member said with a strange expression, "but are you sure you want to come here? This is the beginner dungeon area."

Wu Xian smiled calmly and strode into the dimensional entrance.

It feels so good to get a free ticket!

Ever since he completed the Dead Mountain Town Scroll instance, the Dead Mountain Town outpost felt completely different to him.

For example, the small shop selling peanuts, melon seeds, and bottled water on the street happened to be the stall of that old man who made human flesh buns.

"Quick, quick, get to the exit!"

"Really? Someone's already got their hands on it?"

Many passersby on the street were startled and gathered towards the exit of the guard post.

A moment later, Wu Xian arrived at the exit of the outpost, and the scene before him left him stunned and dumbfounded.

On the wide street at the exit of the outpost, a replica of the pillar brother, five or six meters tall, stood there. A motorcycle taxi driver leaned against the pillar brother's head, stood ostentatiously on the pillar brother's shoulder, and puffed out a cigar.

The surrounding crowd was packed three or four deep, with exclamations of amazement and envy filling the air.

One wealthy man immediately offered: "Brother, are you willing to bid? I'll bid three million!"

"Not for sale," the motorcycle taxi driver smiled slightly, "I won't sell it for any price!"
