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

Chapter 307 Miao Youyou

"Mutual cooperation and mutual benefit." Wu Xian smiled wryly.

He still values ​​Xiao Yu's father highly.

Not long ago, I asked my second brother, Xue Zhengying, to check Xiao Changqing's resume and information. He is definitely a first-class spirit master.

Being able to recruit them would be a huge boost to the Underworld Club.

"This journey has been quite something..." Xiao Changqing couldn't help but complain, "What should have been a one or two-day trip took more than ten days."

"Special times call for special measures," Wu Xian said with a smile.

"Based on what I've seen and heard along the way, I'm afraid everyone's days will be tough from now on," Xiao Changqing sighed. "The major cities appear calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath. In contrast, your Yaoyang City seems to be a peaceful place."

"Really?" Wu Xian couldn't help but be surprised.

After some inquiry, it was learned that the influence of the "Three Gods Version" has begun to gradually emerge.

Undercurrents are stirring in every city, and the power struggles between families are becoming increasingly apparent as everyone prepares for an uncertain future.

Xiao Changqing chose to join the Underworld Club partly because he recognized Wu Xian's golden scrolls, and partly because of the changes at his former employer.

"Your former employer has also joined the true god's camp?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

“That’s right,” Xiao Changqing sighed helplessly, “When I left, I was already preparing to hand over the outpost to that Sky Emperor Spirit.”

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded, "It seems Uncle Xiao doesn't quite approve of that Void Emperor Spirit."

“It’s not that I don’t approve,” Xiao Changqing said, “it just feels a bit off about the Divine Sculpture Scroll. We feel more at ease using the orthodox scrolls of humankind.”

"Something's not right?" Wu Xian couldn't help but wonder.

Xiao Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "I always feel that the power of the divine sculpture is subtly changing my spiritual power. This feeling is especially obvious when I have a high life mark."

"Change your spiritual power?"

Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of his second brother, Xue Zhengying.

Could it be that, as the life mark increases, the Scroll of Divine Speed ​​can assimilate humans into the "demon race"?
Is it similar to Kun Youniang's "reform" of Xue Zhengying?
"Of course, this is just my guess." Xiao Changqing waved his hand and smiled, then turned to chat with Wu Xian about serious matters.

The real business, of course, was the arrangement of the gold scroll and Xiao Changqing's follow-up work.

"Is the current update to the Hero Tower truly the work of Master Wu?" Xiao Changqing confirmed.

Wu Xian remained noncommittal. "Uncle Xiao can visit our scroll dungeon later. By the way, Uncle Xiao, what are your expectations for pushing through the next level?"

"Of course, the higher the better."

Wu Xian was very satisfied with the reply.

That's exactly the kind of big shot we're looking for—one who loves to challenge himself and push his limits.

From now on, hero points and such will all depend on the output of these top players.

Unfortunately, there are no players who can achieve "first clear" or "speedrun" levels yet, otherwise the hero point output could be even greater.

The term "first clear" refers to the fact that players who clear a new level for the first time after it is unlocked will receive a large number of Hero Points as a reward.

As the name suggests, racing refers to breaking the record for clearing a level. Each time you break the record, you can also get a considerable amount of hero points.

Most importantly, it can put the name of the Underworld Club on the Hero Tower Challenge record, which has a great promotional effect.

"I wonder if Uncle Xiao has any plans to try for the first pass or the speed race?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiao Changqing was stunned and speechless. "This... I'm afraid I don't have that level of skill yet."

"Hey~ You need to have confidence in yourself, and you also need to have confidence in my gold sheets."

Xiao Changqing's expression was strange.

Goodness, is Master Wu really that confident in his scroll? Although he could tell that Wu Xian's gold scroll was of high quality, pushing through levels and racing were no joke.

It has always been a competition among the top-tier picture scrolls from various large theaters, and it is difficult for ordinary people to access that circle.

"By the way, what type of scroll painting did you specialize in before?" Wu Xian asked casually.

"I'm quite good at necromancy, beast magic, and plant magic, especially plant magic. I even reached the sixth level of the Six Lives Mark back at my old employer," Xiao Changqing said sadly, "What a pity..."

Having finally mastered the Six Life Marks, only to be forced to give up in the end would be a painful experience for anyone.

"Six Life Marks, plant-based?" Wu Xian's eyes lit up.

I've been thinking about getting into Beast and Plant types lately, what a coincidence!

“Out with the old, in with the new,” Wu Xian said confidently. “You can try out this golden scroll [Reincarnation Bureau - Thai Prostitute] first. We’ll arrange the beast and plant types for you later.”

He'll make a cute girl version of Meng Po and give it to his daughter Xiao Yu. Then the father and daughter can be considered to be in charge of the Underworld's Reincarnation Department.

After all, there are only these two people in the Underworld's Reincarnation Department.

Xiao Changqing was very satisfied with [Reincarnation Division - Thai Prostitute]. After completing the transfer procedures with Wu Xian, he couldn't wait to go to the Hero Tower to experience it.

Wu Xian, meanwhile, began to work on the concept of a botanical-themed scroll.

In Chinese mythology, there are really no plant-based gods or monsters. Plants are either rare and precious materials, innate spiritual roots, or low-level tree spirits and demons.

Because in a certain mythological masterpiece, there is a special setting that anyone with nine orifices can become an immortal.

In the concept of Chinese culture, plants do not have nine orifices.

Plants that can become immortals are basically the result of guidance from powerful figures. For example, the Hundred Flower Fairies in Heaven are only "average" in terms of combat power.

Going further up, there are only those powerful figures in the Wood element.

For example, Azure Dragon, Jumang, Azure Emperor, Nuyi, and so on.

Fortunately, Wu Xian has now come to a realization: if there are no plant-based deities, he can simply create an anthropomorphic character.

Innate spiritual roots are too high a standard to reach, so you can start with some more common immortal herbs.

For example, the Classic of Mountains and Seas contains many exotic flowers and plants. We can start with these exotic flowers and plants, and combine them with the thinking of mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, anthropomorphizing or animalizing them, and ultimately they can all be included in the future system of divine illustrations from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

perfect!

Just as I was pondering this, a seductive voice suddenly came to my ear, "Little brother, want to come out and have a chat?"

“?!” Wu Xian frowned.

His divine sense quickly probed outwards and then he saw a familiar figure standing in an inconspicuous corner outside the club.

It was that Miao woman from Ziyang Province.

What is she doing here?

I walked out of the club with doubts and approached the past.

"Little brother, how have you been?" Miao Youyou said with a seductive look and a predatory look in her eyes. "Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I was only dragged here by that stupid dog last time."

"Malicious?" Wu Xian smiled mockingly.

Upon hearing this, Miao Youyou's face stiffened, clearly realizing that she was no match for Wu Xian. "Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"Is there anything we can talk about?" Wu Xian asked.

Miao Youyou smiled with narrowed eyes, "For example, let's talk about the things mentioned above. I think you would be very interested."

"..." Wu Xian pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to signal, "Lead the way."
