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

Chapter 35 Cultivation and Enhancement of the Divine Diagram
“I can ask around for you,” Wu Xian said, feigning difficulty, “but how much are you willing to pay?”

"This..." The two looked at each other, "How much did you spend back then?"

Wu Xian sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Don't compare yourself to me. I'm related to the master. You have to pay the market price, understand?"

"oh oh."

The two little crybabies suddenly realized what was happening, and their eyes lit up with even more excitement.

They had previously suspected that Wu Xian had a powerful background, and these words undoubtedly confirmed their guess.

I just can't understand why Wu Xian would live in such a dilapidated place as a shantytown.
“The most expensive copper scrolls on the market cost only a few hundred thousand, while rare and precious ones cost one million two or three hundred thousand,” the male student analyzed. “Exclusive scrolls don’t have a standard price. How about two million?” the crybaby asked tentatively.

Goodness, they asked for a whopping two million right off the bat.

This is a premium that only master-level scroll painters can command.

Wu Xian pretended to be calm and wanted to raise the price again, but the sincerity of the two people silenced him.

"Also, how about I give you 20,000 yuan as a service fee for being the middleman?" the crybaby added.

Since the other party was so sincere, Wu Xian couldn't ask for an exorbitant price, so he took it as an acknowledgment of the two people's good judgment.

"Okay, I'll ask around for you."

He pretended to go back inside, took out his phone and talked to himself for a while before returning to the door.

"The master has agreed."

The two were both surprised and delighted. "When will the master have time?"

"The master is aloof and doesn't like to show his face," Wu Xian said, spouting nonsense. "If you trust me, you can pay a deposit of 100,000 and come to me tomorrow at this time to pick up the goods."

Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but feel regret and hesitation.

Fortunately, the 100,000 yuan deposit wasn't a huge amount for them, so they weren't too worried about being scammed.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the two decisively placed an order.

Wu Xian chatted and laughed as he exchanged WeChat contacts with the two, and learned their names.

The female crybaby is named Lian Xiaoyu, and the male crybaby is named Hong Sanbao. Both are rich kids from big cities, and their parents are top-notch spirit masters.

Definitely a high-quality customer!
After seeing the two off, Wu Xian decisively went to Boss Hu Deyou's place to purchase raw materials.

When I reached the junction of the shantytown and the North Street area, I found two groups of people blocking the intersection aggressively, with two banners hanging next to them that read, "Unlimited purchase of materials for the Mirage Monster at high prices."

Looking at the aura of the leaders on both sides, they were both at the sixth level of spiritual power, wearing club team uniforms and high-level badges that only senior club members had.

They even brought out their main artworks and had them stand on the side as mascots.

They were secretly competing with each other.

Passersby were buzzing with discussion, and fans from all sides were incredibly excited, rushing forward to take photos with their "idols" and selling the materials they had to their respective clubs.

Wu Xian wasn't interested in this kind of fan-following scene, but he was quite interested in the two "mascots".

I took out my phone and logged onto the Huijuan website to search for information about the two mascots.

[Bloody War Frenzy] Silver Scroll

Rating: 4.5
Brief introduction: One of the top players in the War God Club, a pure brute force type of character.

Below are a bunch of comments:
"The War Maniac is mighty, who can rival him!" This is definitely a fan comment.

"Negative visual appeal, but purely statistical anomalies."

"One of the eight pillars of the Silver League, with well-rounded performance and a high-quality main force."

"The copper switch version is so-so, but the silver switch version is still worth buying."

"I've had it for a year and two months, and I've already become a key member of the adventure team. In a word: Worth it!"

"The price of rubbings is currently inflated and the cost-effectiveness is low. If possible, you can directly take out a loan to purchase a copy."

"This is a garbage scroll; anyone who buys it will regret it!" A typical comment from a mindless hater.

To be honest, the comments section is full of talented people, which makes Wu Xian happy.

Then I searched for another "mascot" called "Zombie Uncle", a silver scroll painting with a rating of 4.5, a masterpiece by the top scroll painter of Zhantian Club.

The comments below are mixed, similar to those of [Bloodthirsty Berserker].

Wu Xian was not surprised by this. As the saying goes, everyone has their own taste.

Just like gamers in their past lives, some liked to be warriors, some liked to be mages, and some liked to annoy others; everyone had their own preferences and fighting style.

Therefore, even the most excellent picture scrolls are unlikely to win everyone's favor.

"Unfortunately, we are still a long way from creating a club."

Who knows what kind of craze the various painting spirits of China will create in this world in the future?
Make money quickly and strive to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible!
Arrived at the materials store.

As soon as the boss, Hu Deyou, walked in, he exclaimed, "Yes, we have everything!"

During the procurement process, I chatted with the boss and said, "The North District is really different, isn't it? Such a big disaster, yet there aren't many damaged areas?"

"There are all sorts of monsters and demons around, what damage could possibly happen?" Hu Deyou joked.

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded. "By the way, how are the house prices around here?"

"Young man, you want to buy a house in the North District?" Hu Deyou asked in surprise.

"Is it expensive?"

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, but whether you can even buy it." Hu Deyou shook his head and said, "The properties here are basically controlled by large families and scroll painters, who are all wealthy and have no shortage of money. Nobody is selling them."

If you're interested in renting, I can keep an eye out for you.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian felt a sense of helplessness.

After completing the purchase, pay and leave.

On his way home, he happened to see several university training teams taking photos, including the Xuantian Academy training team. There were also many reporters interviewing them, which left Wu Xian stunned.

Back home, I quietly got to work.

With the blessing of the laurel tree, we went all out and completed all the orders in one night.

The next morning, customers from all walks of life came to pick up their goods.

One hundred and seventy house-protecting diagrams, totaling 340000, yielded a profit of 36380 spirit coins after deducting costs.

Huang Mao received 500,000.

The two crybabies earned a total of 404 million yuan, making them rich overnight!
Looking at the nearly five million yuan balance in his bank account, Wu Xian was filled with emotion. He silently released the spirit of the God of Wealth and burned incense to worship him.

The old man is expected to return this afternoon.

So Wu Xian silently began cultivating the Soul Divine Diagram.

His mind sank into the divine diagram of the Ten Great Yin Generals, carefully sensing the profound power of the laws. The process of comprehending this law required a continuous consumption of mental energy, and his consciousness subsequently fell into a void and dark world of laws.

A series of complex and profound laws flowed through this void.

Looking around, one can vaguely see scattered divine projections, like a hundred boats racing, climbing upwards along different lines of law.

Above the void of laws, pioneers already occupy high positions, siphoning and controlling the fluctuations of laws within the void.

Fortunately, the "Top Ten Yin Marshals" are of high enough prestige, and are inherently connected to many laws and regulations, so they start at a good level.

"To comprehend the power of the laws and vie for authority within them—is this truly the path of cultivation for a scroll painter?"

Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

However, after pondering for a long time, there was no sign of any growth or change in the laws governing the [Ten Great Yin Marshals].

"Am I just not quick enough to understand? Or is my method wrong?"

He opened his eyes in confusion, took out his phone, and wanted to ask Tang Beng, his good older brother.

But then I thought about it again and logged into that niche forum full of experts and posted a question: How to improve the Soul God Image?

Within moments, I began receiving replies from the experts.

"Are these big shots really that free?"

Wu Xian complained while checking the replies.

Beihai Lao Zhou: Back to the sofa... Huh? Isn't this that fake newbie from last time?
What can I do about your arrogance? What kind of stupid new question is this?
Four generations under one roof: Has the education of scroll painters today deteriorated to this extent?
Man Sanquan: Hey hey hey, which family's student is this? Come out and claim him!

Beihai Lao Zhou: Are you serious, OP?
