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

Chapter 294 Cleansing Spring

"Of course," Wu Xian replied noncommittally.

After being escorted by Kun Youniang, they arrived outside the territory of the Spider Cave. Seeing that the centipede spirit and young man had not followed, Wu Xian couldn't help but give a serious reminder, "I have a feeling that the centipede spirit is not right. Second sister-in-law, you must be careful to avoid falling into his trap."

"What a joke! The little centipede shows me great respect." Kun You Niang was stunned.

“No, no, no,” Wu Xian shook his head and said, “I’m not worried about the little centipede, but about the strange power in that area.”

Kun Youniang's face showed surprise. "You mean, the little centipede might have been tainted by evil forces?"

"In any case, it's better for Second Sister-in-law to be careful. I hope I'm overthinking it." Wu Xian said meaningfully, "Oh right, there's a pool deep in the Spider Cave. It's a natural hot spring that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It's called the Cleansing Spring. Second Sister-in-law should enjoy it herself and try not to let outsiders use it."

"Hot spring?" Kun Youniang's expression was strange.

It's just a hot spring, is it really necessary to be so expensive?
They watched Wu Xian and his companion leave.

Upon returning to the Spider Cave, Kun Youniang couldn't help but secretly keep an eye on the little centipede's condition.

At this moment, he is sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop, cultivating with great enthusiasm, and there is no sign of anything unusual at the moment.

As they ventured deeper into the Spider Cave, they indeed found a steaming underground hot spring. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth wafted over them, bringing Kun You Niang a sense of genuine comfort.

"This...this..." Kun Youniang was secretly shocked, "Are human territory outposts this good?"

She was already pleasantly surprised by the spiritual energy of the world inside the Spider Cave, but she never expected that there was an even more concentrated area of ​​spiritual energy hidden inside.

No wonder the great demons of the fertile central lands all like to occupy human outposts.

Slowly stepping into the pool and bathing in the warm spring water, Kun Youniang's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder. "It seems to be more than just the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; it can also perfectly conceal the aura of the insect realm power within her."

What she found even more unbelievable was that there was a mysterious power in the spring water that was helping her temper her spider silk and physical body.

Among them, the tempering effect of spider silk is the most obvious.

In addition, the effect of tempering will be significantly improved when comprehending Wu Xian's scroll-drawing ideas.

Time flies, and several hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? Why is it gone?"

The nourishment from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still there, but the mysterious tempering power has been exhausted.

Clearly, this mysterious tempering power is limited and requires the [Spider Cave] domain scroll to absorb otherworldly power and slowly transform it.

……

Yaoyang City, Underworld Club.

Wu Xian and Zhou Qi returned and began contacting the association and the alliance to open a portal to the Zerg outpost.

Zhou Qi received a large amount of high-quality Zerg material and happily ran back to study his scroll.

After Wu Xian settled the matter of the sentry post passage, he first went to take a look at the network department.

Because of the need to set up a "super hub," the club's official website and card-drawing system had to be temporarily maintained, drawing a barrage of criticism online.

Of course, it's mainly those netizens who are addicted to gacha pulls.

Then I went to give some guidance to my two good students.

Chen Xu's Asura series and Yao Xueer's Yaksha series have also gotten on track, and some club members have even taken Asura and Yaksha to the Underworld outpost to experience them.

The two of them are now managing the Four Seas Dragon Palace quite well.

Yao Xueer, in particular, drew the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace quite well, and even sought suggestions for improvement from the three Huang sisters.

She's a female artist, and she's really good at drawing handsome guys.

Although Wu Xian didn't quite understand that kind of female aesthetic, as long as female consumers liked it, that was fine.

Meanwhile, Chen Xu was conceiving the idea of ​​Ao Moang, the eldest prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Unlike Yao Xueer's gentle style, Chen Xu's style is much more rugged, and he looks energetic and spirited.

"Not bad, not bad." After praising and encouraging the two, he went to find his master and sister.

Along the way, we heard many new members complaining about the recent price increases of various cultivation supplies.

In particular, various spiritual liquids and medicines that aid in the cultivation of spiritual power, as well as various spiritual foods.

"Has the price increase been significant?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"It's more than just powerful, the black market price has almost doubled," a new member complained. "The key is that it's often out of stock. Vice President, why don't you get involved in the field of spiritual herbs and improve the lives of us grassroots cultivators?"

The new members were in high spirits, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Yes, Vice President, you're so capable, you can definitely do it!"

The club members always had a kind of inexplicable admiration and trust for Wu Xian, feeling that nothing could stump him.

"It's worth trying to study," Wu Xian said with a thoughtful smile.

"Really?" The members were overjoyed. "Vice President is awesome!"

Wu Xian chuckled lightly and turned to leave.

To be honest, he has always been quite interested in spiritual medicine, but he has never had the opportunity to learn more about it.

Spiritual medicine is definitely a lucrative business.

As for the recent price increase of spiritual medicines, it is obviously due to the closure of intercity space routes.

In fact, not only are spiritual medicines rising in price, but all kinds of commodities and supplies are also rising in price. Only food prices are relatively stable due to the local temple farm.

Upon arriving at Master Sister's palace, we could hear the two women chatting and laughing from afar.

"What are you chatting about that's making you so happy?" Wu Xian teased as he entered.

Upon seeing Wu Xian, the two stopped laughing and talking abruptly, their eyes darting away, probably because they hadn't said anything nice.

"Well, I'm going home for a few days. If you need anything, just ask Sister Qingxuan." Tang Tiaotiao walked out of the palace with an air of nonchalance. "Little Xianzi, do you want to come along?"

Wu Xian glanced at his senior sister to ask if she was alright, and after confirming that she was unharmed, he followed her.

"It's been a while since I've seen my uncle and aunt."

As I was leaving the club, about to take flight on my sword, I saw Sister Jump suddenly throw out a stylish flying vehicle that rivaled the vehicles in some pay-to-win online games from my previous life—it was incredibly cool.

On the way to the Tang residence, they exchanged pleasantries about their recent situations.

There's no need to say much about Wu Xian's side, but the main thing is about Sister Tiao's side.

As the twelve celestial riders were assembled, they all upgraded to the Gold Scroll level, making each one more formidable than the last.

In addition, other mechanical creation series have been derived.

"Do you want me to provide you with twelve Sky Riders?" Tang Tiaotiao asked smugly.

"No need," Wu Xian politely declined.

I have so many scrolls that I can't even use them all. As for the mechanical aspect, Super Pillar Bro is enough.

Moreover, as a scroll painter, it's always more prestigious to use one's own work.

"Alright," Tang Tiaotiao pouted, "After we get back this time, we should start preparing for the invitational tournament. I'll have Sister Qingxuan send you a special invitation letter, and you can bring your sister-in-law along."

"Our Mechanical Dojo is giving it our all in this invitational tournament, eager to avenge our previous defeat!"

"We have to support Sister Tiao's show," Wu Xian assured, patting his chest.

Tang Tiaotiao was quite satisfied. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly thought of something. "Didn't you realize? He looks honest and unassuming on the surface, but he's actually quite the ladies' man?"

"..." Wu Xian couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"I think Sister Lingling's painting of the red spider lily is quite nice," Tang Tiaotiao asked with a smile. "As your most respected and wise sister, didn't she inspire you to create any paintings?"
