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

Chapter 92 Divine Realm Authority
Wu Xian was secretly excited, naturally understanding what the association wanted to discuss.

It can only be said that when good fortune comes, there's no stopping it.

Only then did he realize the value of the golden scroll guide to Dead Mountain Town.

In today's world of scroll painting, so many dungeons in the [Dead Mountain Town] area are eagerly waiting to be upgraded.

"Master, don't forget about me," Wu Xian whispered a reminder.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share," Xue Lingling teased. "If we succeed in taking this opportunity, I'll be able to give back to my family."

Then, led by Mr. Chen, they went to the reception room to wait.

While waiting, Wu Xian voiced his curiosity, "Master Sister, why do you insist on fighting to the death in the Palace of the Dead? I think the Association is fine; at least you won't suffer any injustice."

"Haha, I like what you said, Xiao Wu," Old Chen chuckled. "Why don't you come to our association in the future?"

"You don't understand." Xue Lingling glanced at Old Chen with annoyance.

"Is there some compelling reason or difficulty for you to go?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"I suppose so," Xue Lingling sighed softly.

Wu Xian was taken aback. Really?
Seeing this, Old Chen said with a hint of teasing, "The Xue family does have power."

"To seize power?"

“That’s right.” Xue Lingling sighed softly and explained, “As one of the founding families, my Xue family has the right to compete for the right to take over the Necromancer’s Guild and the right to control the Divine Realm. No one can take that away from us.”

Wu Xian suddenly realized what was going on.

If we consider dojos as organizations similar to the United Nations, then the founding families are like the five permanent members of the Security Council—special entities.

Even though the Xue family has fallen into ruin and this identity is no longer of any use, the power they once held still remains.

Once the Xue family regains its strength, it will be able to reclaim its rightful rights and status.

Especially the control of the Divine Realm, which is what Xue Lingling cares about the most.

The so-called Divine Realm refers to the collection of divine diagrams constructed by various Daoist sects in the void of laws. They promote and influence each other, and develop together. This is the fundamental reason why the various Daoist sects have endured for so long and no one can shake their position.

As the founding family, the Xue family's inherited scroll design inherently possessed the qualifications to control the realm of the dead.

Simply put, they are born with administrator privileges in the realm of the dead.

This is something that later necromancer families could not match.

"After I integrate the divine diagram into the Realm of the Dead, I will also pull your divine diagram in, so you can enjoy the nearly thousand years of accumulation and influence of the Realm of the Dead." Xue Lingling's eyes shone with anticipation. "At that time, you will surely soar to great heights."

Wu Xian curled his lip in annoyance, showing no interest in the so-called Realm of the Dead.

To put it nicely, it's called the Undead God Map System; to put it bluntly, isn't it just a small clique of gods huddled together?

For other necromancer scroll artists, integrating a divine painting into the Necromancer's Realm is a great recognition, allowing their own divine paintings to grow better, and they regard it as an honor.

But for Wu Xian's divine painting, it actually diminishes its prestige.

As someone who possesses a complete system of his own, he will inevitably build his own divine realm system in the future.

Although it is difficult and far-reaching, as long as money and resources are in place, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

Once the Underworld God Realm system is fully formed, Xue Lingling won't need to go to the Underworld God Realm anymore. She can just come to the Underworld God Realm for a bath, and her disciple will take her flying.

Of course, this is a story.

The immediate focus is still on the benefits brought by the Dead Mountain Town Golden Scroll strategy.

Not long after, Cui Wenxuan, the president of the Yaoyang City Association, returned. He was a cheerful old man who immediately started joking with Xue Lingling as soon as he entered the door. "You're amazing, little Lingling! You're the one who promoted the Golden Scroll of Dead Mountain Town. You truly deserve to be my personal disciple. You've really lived up to expectations!"

What the heck? A personal disciple in name only?
Wu Xian and Wang Xiaocong were completely dumbfounded.

"Alright, teacher, we're here to talk about serious matters." Xue Lingling sighed, speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This must be my personally trained grand-disciple, right?" Cui Wenxuan squinted at Wu Xian, clearly having thoroughly investigated him. "Little Lingling, shouldn't this grand-disciple stay in the association?"

"Can we talk about business first?" Xue Lingling asked helplessly.

Wu Xian looked at the rather short, mischievous old man in front of him and politely stood up: "Junior Wu Xian greets Senior President." "What Senior President? Call me Grandmaster."

"Master...Grandmaster."

Wu Xian spoke awkwardly, but Xue Lingling didn't seem to object.

“That’s more like it,” Cui Wenxuan smiled with satisfaction, his expression gradually becoming serious, clearly indicating that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. “First, let’s upgrade the Dead Mountain Town in Yaoyang City. As for the association, I still need to discuss it with the headquarters. Let me tell you your quote first.”

"It's definitely cheaper than the dojo, though." Xue Lingling said resentfully, "No matter what price they offer, I'll give you a 20% discount."

"Only 20% off?" Old Cui pouted in dissatisfaction, as if joking with a junior, "I'm very sad!"

"30% off, that's the lowest I can go," Xue Lingling said helplessly. "The students are hoping to make a little money this way."

“A 30% discount is about right,” Old Cui said with satisfaction. “I’ll discuss it with the head office later, and I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news.”

"Then it's settled."

After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Xian and his two companions took their leave.

However, instead of leaving immediately, he went directly to the association's Tier 3 dungeon, [Dead Mountain Town], and helped upgrade it.

Wang Xiaocong clamored to go in too, but unfortunately, he was sent back out by the aftershocks of the battle not long after he entered.

In the afternoon, Wu Xian held the divine power factor in his hands, grinning from ear to ear.

"Master, this business is great! This business is promising."

Not only do they get all the dungeon rewards, but they also receive an extra 20,000 spirit crystals as a service fee.

Of course, this is a friendly price for Yaoyang City; other associations in other regions will not offer this price.

“Yes,” Xue Lingling said, unable to hide her excitement, “With this money, our club can finally get on the right track.”

……

Back to the small villa in the North Block.

Wu Xian decisively used several divine power factors to enhance the God of Wealth Scroll and the Ten Great Yin Marshals Scroll.

Unfortunately, the God of Wealth only improved some attributes and spirituality this time, and did not add a fourth life mark.

This shows that the effect of absorbing the divine power factor is better the first time, and subsequent absorptions are just quantitative changes rather than qualitative changes.

As for the production of gold scrolls, there's no rush.

Ultimately, the Golden Scroll is still a carrier of the Divine Diagram. Only when one has grasped the laws of the Divine Diagram to a certain degree can they be manifested in the Golden Scroll.

Otherwise, a situation will arise similar to a high-end computer playing Tetris, where the graphics card fan won't even spin.

"Tsk tsk, the Four Holy Spirits, the Blazing Fire Divine Bird."

As Wu Xian carefully examined the feathers of the Fiery Divine Bird and the spiritual structure within various sacred materials, he was already eager to try it out.

In my past life, when I was doing art outsourcing, I had the good fortune to visit the Jade Emperor Temple in Jincheng, Shanxi, and I still remember it vividly.

Given the familiar feeling he got from the Fiery Bird, he could start with the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird and see if he could create one of the star deities.

It just so happens that the sea serpent creature had previously provided snake-related materials.

"Let's start with the Winged Fire Serpent."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The knocking interrupted Wu Xian's train of thought.

When they opened the door, they were surprised to find Zhang Mazi and his son Zhang Zihao.

At this moment, Xiao Zihao was full of vigor and high spirits, and his spiritual power had reached level two.

“My lord, I have promoted the Ox-Headed Yin Marshal to three and a half stars, and his spiritual power cultivation has reached level two,” Zhang Zihao knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and asked for instructions, “Please give me your orders!”

"So fast? Wasn't it supposed to take half a month?" Wu Xian was stunned.
