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

Chapter 149 The Xue family is hiding something really deep!

In a side hall of the president's palace, in Xue Lingling's personal workroom.

As Xue Lingling sorted through the materials, she organized her thoughts. "My dear disciple, thank you so much this time. I have now completely grasped the legacy left by our ancestors."

They even have preliminary ideas for subsequent domain-themed scrolls.

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in approval. He had thought it would take his master a long time to achieve enlightenment, but he hadn't expected her to achieve it so quickly.

It can only be said that my master sister does have some talent in this area.

"The idea behind the Domain Scroll?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

“Yes,” Xue Lingling nodded excitedly, “The concepts of hell, the underworld, and reincarnation that you proposed earlier have greatly inspired me. Combined with the conceptual framework left by our ancestors, I now believe that the world of the dead is not just another world, but rather the other side of our world, a world where the souls of the dead belong.”

This world shouldn't just be filled with countless vicious ghosts, but like our world, it should possess a complete order, a well-ordered world managed by numerous spirits and deities.

Wu Xian was stunned.

Goodness, no wonder he's the hope of the Xue family, he's figured it out so quickly?

Although the framework passed down by the Xue family ancestors also played a part, Xue Lingling has now clearly stood on the shoulders of her ancestors under his "guidance," looking towards higher and farther horizons.

"My dear disciple, is your idea also within this kind of background framework?" Xue Lingling's gaze was intense.

"Of course," Wu Xian replied noncommittally.

Xue Lingling couldn't hide her excitement, "Don't worry, once I've stormed into the Realm of the Dead, I'll definitely incorporate your divine map into the Realm of the Dead as soon as possible. Together, we'll build a brand new and great Realm of the Dead!"

"We'll see when the time comes," Wu Xian said with a smirk.

After all, he wanted to go it alone.

"My dear disciple, what kind of powerful being do you think would rule such a great world of the dead?" Xue Lingling's eyes were full of reverence and longing for the future.

“That must be a great being who can control the Great Dao of Life and Death,” Wu Xian pondered.

"I don't know if we will be fortunate enough to conceive and draw that supreme being in our lifetime. Even if we can only conceive of the tip of the iceberg, it will be enough for me to die without regret."

Wu Xian laughed and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. What if we accidentally achieve it?"

"Ah."

Xue Lingling nodded excitedly and immediately began to reconstruct the portrait of the club members.

Wu Xian stood quietly to the side and watched. Through the connection between the divine diagrams, he could vaguely sense the changes in Xue Lingling's set of [Ghost King Divine Diagrams], which was a qualitative leap.

You can even feel a sense of "resonance from afar".

……

Inside the dilapidated shacks in the shantytown.

Through Bai Shiqi's account, Zhao Qinghe learned about Bai Shiqi's bizarre experiences in Yaoyang City during this period.

Yes, it's bizarre!
Looking at the undead spirits known as the "Ten Great Yin Marshals" before him, he was filled with even greater horror.

With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this set of necromancy-themed scrolls, which was definitely no less than the top-tier designs of the major families of their Necromancer's Guild.

He simply couldn't believe that this was something a poor, ordinary guy could come up with.

"Brother Bai, do you mean that this person's ideas are likely derived from the Xue family's inherited framework?" Zhao Qinghe pondered, this was also his guess.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain this.

“Very likely,” Bai Shiqi said, “but Wu Xian also has some non-necromancy scrolls, which is something I can’t understand.”

"Is there even a question?" Zhao Qinghe said confidently. "It shows that the Xue family's inheritance framework includes more than just the concept of the undead. Interesting~ It's getting more and more interesting."

Originally, I just wanted to make some friends with Bai Shiqi and teach Xue Lingling a lesson.

Looking back now, it was definitely worth the trip.

This girl is keeping things under wraps! No wonder she insisted on going back to a small town to develop her career; she was secretly building up her strength and preparing for something big!
Fortunately, he discovered it in advance, otherwise, their major families might have been caught off guard by this little girl in the future.

"By the way, Brother Bai, could you please have your people investigate the Xue family's specific situation and their interpersonal relationships?" Zhao Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly. "Do you think it's possible that this kid named Wu Xian is actually a member of the Xue family?"

"Huh?" Bai Shiqi exclaimed in astonishment, "Brother Qinghe, isn't your idea a bit too audacious?"

Zhao Qinghe asked with a smile, "Brother Bai, don't you find it strange that a dignified scroll painter from a martial arts academy would take a poor boy as his apprentice?"

"Hiss~ You know what, you really don't know what I mean." The more Bai Shiqi thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

"No wonder you've managed to survive until now," Zhao Qinghe sneered.

That's right, he now seriously suspects that Wu Xian is the Xue family's illegitimate son.

Or rather, it could be described as an important pawn specially placed outside to conceal the Xue family's powerful lineage.

This would both conceal the Xue family's powerful lineage and prevent them from being targeted, and also, to some extent, confuse and deafen the other founding families of the Undead Dojo.

No wonder they sent a young girl to the dojo back then.

In retrospect, Xue Lingling was just a smokescreen, and Wu Xian, who was hiding in Yaoyang City, was the true "heir" of the Xue family in the future.

It can only be said that these major families underestimated the Xue family from the very beginning.

“I really want to meet this kid named Wu Xian,” Zhao Qinghe said with great interest. “Brother Bai, please arrange a suitable club for me so I can see if the Xue family really has the capital to rise.”

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for our own people to fight each other?" Bai Shiqi asked with a strange expression.

"It's just a contest," Zhao Qinghe said nonchalantly. "Besides, we all come from the founding family, so it's not like I'm bullying him."

"Bully?" Bai Shiqi's expression was strange. "I think Brother Qinghe should not underestimate them. Those Ten Yin Marshals are really strong."

"Hehe," Zhao Qinghe chuckled confidently, "It's just a scroll without the nurturing of the divine realm. In my opinion, your Peak Dojo's system is a bit too mixed up. For necromancy scrolls, it still has to be our Necromancer Dojo!"

Clearly, Zhao Qinghe felt that the Peak Dojo was a mishmash of ideas without a focus on quality, and that the necromancy system was of poor quality.

Bai Shiqi pouted sullenly, too lazy to say anything more.

It's not like he hasn't come across those necromancy-themed scrolls from the Necromancer's Guild.

In addition, Zhao Qinghe's internal strife is also a boon to their Dengfeng Dojo.

Maybe we can take this opportunity to recruit Wu Xian to their Peak Dojo.

……

Inside the Ghost King Club.

Feeling the immense power of the "new generation" Demon King Scroll, the club members were extremely excited.

"Wow, is the improvement really that big?"

"Now we won't have to go through so much trouble if we encounter that mummy again."

"Damn it, I've been disgusted by those wild monkeys from the Elf Club lately. This time I'm going to get my revenge."

"What are those wild monkeys from the Elf Club compared to the War Maniac Club's [Martial Venerable] scroll? In my opinion, that's the most troublesome one."

"That [Flame Demon] from the Divine Fire Club is disgusting. We recently lost two points to that Flame Demon Scroll."

If it weren't for Yin Shuai's scroll covering for them during this period, they would have lost even more points.

After all, compared to players from other clubs, they already have a certain disadvantage in terms of spiritual power cultivation.

In addition, considering the genuinely high quality of Shiraishi Sai's scrolls and his performance on the spot, it's normal to have both wins and losses.

But it's different now.

With the new version of the Demon King Scroll in hand, their win rate in subsequent individual points competitions will definitely increase by several percentage points.
