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

Chapter 60 Another Use of the Underworld Marshal

Meanwhile, the motorcycle taxi driver had already taken out a mechanical drill and started digging for one of the treasure spots.

However, the excavation site is a bit out of the way.

Rumble…

The mechanical drill bit wrapped around the old man's arm shattered the rock layers, eventually revealing a corner of a rare mineral in the rock wall.

"Mysterious Yin Refined Iron? It looks quite large."

The motorcycle taxi driver was very satisfied with the ore he had mined.

"I'll try?"

Wu Xian, with great interest, spotted another source of wealth and sent out Brother Zhu for help.

Although the space inside the mine was quite large, it was still a bit cramped for Brother Zhu.

The motorcycle driver was wondering why Wu Xian had let Brother Zhu out when he saw Brother Zhu firing a laser gun in one hand and chiseling with an energy battle axe in the other, his technique was incredibly professional.

The excavation efficiency was much faster than his broken drill bit.

"Wow, Brother Zhu has this ability?"

The motorcycle driver was dumbfounded on the spot. He quickly released his own "Pillar Brother" and tried to dig into the rock wall of the mine. The more he dug, the more excited he became.

This money was totally worth it!

The next second, however, he was once again stunned by the commotion on Wu Xian's side.

Wu Xian also unearthed a piece of Xuan Yin Refined Iron, but based on his experience, it didn't seem like there was any rare ore hidden there.

"Really?" Wu Xian feigned surprise and showered him with compliments, "No wonder you're a professional prospector, your eye is sharp!"

"..."

The motorcycle taxi driver looked slightly embarrassed.

Next, control Pillar Brother to dig another mining site and successfully harvest a second piece of Xuan Yin Refined Iron.

To his surprise, Wu Xian, who was digging haphazardly nearby, also unearthed a second piece of Xuan Yin Refined Iron.

"Wait, how did you figure out there's a mine here?" the guy asked, bewildered.

“I have a feeling,” Wu Xian said mysteriously, “that the rock strata patterns and orientations here are not quite right.”

The motorcycle taxi driver was puzzled for a long time, "Could it be that you were born to be a prospector?"

"It's mainly because my brother taught me well."

"..."

As they continued deeper into the intricate mine, the Ghost King devoured the lesser demons along the way, and his level unknowingly rose to two and a half stars.

However, the mine ahead gradually alerted the Ghost King.

"Be careful, that area ahead has seen Thunder Fiend Stones before, and people often come here to try their luck," the motorcycle driver warned seriously. "And the monsters here are quite powerful."

As soon as he finished speaking, the exorcism totem on the old man's chest began to shine brightly.

"This is bad! The totem's violent reaction is probably not a level four elite monster!"

A sinister and terrifying atmosphere instantly filled the entire mine.

The motorcycle driver looked around solemnly. Beside him, the evil monk, Shawanluo, exuded a sinister aura, his pupils distorted.

A sharp shriek came.

The evil monk Shavanro, a fourth-star Silver Axis cultivator, punched backward.

boom!
A dark, ghostly face suddenly appeared, but vanished in the blink of an eye.

On Wu Xian's side, the demon-suppressing bell in the Ghost King's hand jingled. Although it could not completely suppress the elite monster, it successfully made the monster reveal itself.

"Good job!"

The motorcycle driver was overjoyed at the sight and immediately spurred the evil monk to fight him head-on.

The eerie "Buddhist teachings" attacks were evenly matched with the fourth-tier elite monster.

Although the Ghost King's side cannot devour such a powerful monster, it does not mean that they are powerless to fight back.

Generally speaking, the quality of the scroll corresponds to the level of the monster: bronze scrolls correspond to ordinary monsters, silver scrolls to elite monsters, gold scrolls to commander monsters, and so on.

Although the Ghost King only has two and a half stars for its silver axis, it is of high quality and uses excellent materials.

With the added advantage of Wu Xian's artistic skills and approach, the Ghost King's five-dimensional rating is also incredibly high.

Moreover, the Ghost King is also blessed by Xue Lingling's set of divine paintings.

With multiple advantages, the Ghost King is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

The same is true.

The arrival of the Ghost King immediately relieved a significant amount of pressure on the evil monk's side. With fangs and claws tearing at the elite monster, he left horrifying wounds on its body. It should be noted that the monster was a spirit, yet it was being torn apart as if it were flesh and blood.

This is the innate characteristic of the Ghost King, [Soul Tear and Spirit Split].

"Wow, this guy can tear ghosts and monsters apart with his bare hands!" The motorcycle driver's eyes lit up. "If we trained someone like this, wouldn't he be able to devour monsters alive?"

The wounded elite monsters screamed incessantly and took the opportunity to rush towards Wu Xian.

Suddenly, two figures, one black and one white, one tall and one short, appeared in front of Wu Xian.

The elite monster, caught off guard and in despair, was dumbfounded.

With a flick of his summoning banner, White Impermanence summoned Black Impermanence, who then fastened his soul-binding chains, perfectly illustrating the meaning of walking into a trap.

The pursuing Ghost King was extremely ferocious. He grabbed the monster's head and tore it off, swallowing it into his hideous maw to share the experience points with the Black and White Impermanence.

The experience provided by the fourth-tier elite monsters successfully promoted Hei Bai Wuchang to three and a half stars.

Looking at the motorcycle taxi driver on the other side, he was already speechless with astonishment.

"Brother...brother, tell me the truth, who...who exactly are you?"

Having been in the underworld for so many years, the motorcycle driver quickly realized that Wu Xian was no ordinary spirit master.

Wu Xian stopped hiding his identity and said, "I'd say I'm a scroll painter. I just got my trainee scroll painter certificate."

"No wonder."

The motorcycle taxi driver was both surprised and suspicious, and his gaze and attitude towards Wu Xian were clearly different.

“A master is a teacher. At least in the field of mineral exploration, you are definitely a senior expert,” Wu Xian joked.

This made the motorcycle driver feel flattered. After so many years in the underworld, this was the first time he had encountered such an approachable scroll painter.

All the other scroll painters were arrogant and condescending; even the scroll painting students in the studio wished they could put their tails on their heads.

This young scroll painter is definitely a breath of fresh air.

Just then, several figures emerged from the depths of the mine, their menacing aura suggesting ill intent.

They were clearly drawn here by the battle that had just taken place.

"Where did these mining rats come from? If you don't want to die, get out of here. This is not a place for you."

The leader was arrogant and had a level 5 spiritual power cultivation, while the two behind him were both level 4 spirit masters.

Wu Xian frowned, about to ask a question, when he saw the motorcycle driver winking at him and pulling him away.

The motorcycle driver finally breathed a sigh of relief after the motorcycle had driven far away.

"Those people are not to be trifled with?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"It's not a matter of whether we're easy to mess with or not," the motorcycle driver explained. "Those guys seem to be the mayor's men. It's best for ordinary folks like us not to mess with them."

"mayor?"

A strange light flashed in Wu Xian's eyes.

I initially thought he was a lackey of some mine owner or someone from a powerful family, but it turns out he was actually the mayor's subordinate.

Not long after, I walked out of the mine with the motorcycle taxi driver and said goodbye.

"It's still early, I'm going to practice the scroll I have, you go ahead and do your thing, bro."

With that, he drove off in his semi-trailer, watched by the motorcycle driver.

However, shortly after the motorcycle driver left, Wu Xian returned and followed the same route he had taken, eventually finding his way back to the area where the Thunder Fiend Stone was hidden.

You're one of the mayor's men, aren't you? You're just a bully relying on your master's
Today I'll teach you what it means to rely on the power of ghosts.

Of course, the main reason was for the rare Thunder Fiend Stone, which was an absolute must-have for the God of Wealth.

"Come, come, my yin generals!"

Wu Xian summoned all three Yin Generals he currently possessed, as if he were commanding troops.

Although controlling four scrolls at once consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, with the help of the laurel tree, it can still be maintained for a period of time.

Moreover, he never intended to confront the other party head-on.

It should be noted that the Yin Generals not only have the power to intimidate and suppress ghosts and monsters, but also possess the ability to command them.

Sure enough, thanks to the "soul-summoning" operation of the White Impermanence's Soul-Summoning Banner, quite a few monsters have already been "recruited".

Even a few elite monsters have shown interest in this "recruitment".

Meanwhile, the Wasp Commander and the Ghost King are responsible for organizing and leading the monsters in the mine, sending them in from different directions.

Soon, hundreds and thousands of monsters began to converge on the location of those people, and even though they had scrolls similar to [exorcism totems], it was to no avail.

After all, the monsters at this moment are all "following orders" and doing their jobs for the officials.
