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

Chapter 373 The Collector - Ma Tengyun

Early the next morning.

My master sister had been to the Mechanical City before, so she wasn't very interested in it. She focused on studying her scroll and, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, diligently cultivated.

Tang Beng also devoted himself to his research on mechanical scroll drawing.

Wu Xian left the Tang family's mechanical palace on a flying sword and wandered around the mechanical city for a long time.

Finally, at the agreed time, we arrived at a private club.

The clubhouse also displays the unique logo of the Wanrong Chamber of Commerce.

After showing the gold card given to him by Boss Hu and explaining his purpose, the young man in charge of welcoming him was extremely respectful and said, "Master Wu? The young master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please follow me."

Led by the young man, we entered the clubhouse and took a futuristic-looking private elevator to the top floor.

The luxurious corridor was lined with beautiful women on the left and handsome men on the right, welcoming guests.

Upon arriving at the door, the young man respectfully stopped. "The young master is inside. Please come in."

As soon as Wu Xian stepped through the door, a handsome young man in his early twenties quickly approached him and said, "Master Wu, we've been waiting for you. Please take a seat."

This club is our own property. If you have any preferences or needs, just tell me, and I'll arrange it for you.

The sudden enthusiasm made Wu Xian feel a little embarrassed and reserved. He glanced around at the luxurious decorations and furnishings in the room, where parts of various high-level monsters from other worlds had become decorations.

"Young master, you're too kind," Wu Xian said politely.

“Don’t call me Young Master, just call me Little Ma,” Ma Tengyun was undoubtedly a veteran of social interaction. “Although I don’t have much talent for painting scrolls, I have the utmost respect for an excellent painting scroll master like you. If you need anything in the future, just ask me.”

Wu Xian chuckled and nodded, his gaze falling on an exquisite iron box or cabinet next to Ma Tengyun.

It resembles some kind of mechanical creation, with exquisite and unique surface patterns, and seems to emanate spatial fluctuations, like some kind of specially made storage device.

Compared to the orderly furnishings in the room, this iron box clearly looks out of place.

"This is……?"

Ma Tengyun chuckled and solemnly introduced, "This is my most beloved treasure, I call it the 'Divine Cabinet'."

"A magic cabinet?!"

Wu Xian was startled, but remained calm on the surface.

If I remember correctly, in the previous life of Jesus Christ, there was something called the "Holy Ark".

Could it be some kind of powerful magical artifact scroll?
“That’s right, Master Wu can also see it as a mobile scroll museum.” Ma Tengyun’s words revealed a hint of pride. “I don’t have many hobbies in my life, except for collecting all kinds of scrolls.”

This special cabinet was commissioned to be built, and now its collection has grown to a considerable size.

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the cabinet next to him unfolded like a scene from a Transformer, revealing layers of curved bookshelves filled with all sorts of extraordinary scrolls, and they were all gold scrolls.

In the very center of the front row of bookshelves is a special display case, inside which are displayed scrolls on jade scrolls.

"this……?!"

Even though Wu Xian was somewhat prepared for the wealth of this super-rich second-generation heir, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise at this moment.

This "divine cabinet" in front of us is undoubtedly the most extravagant display of wealth in the context of the scroll painting world.

"Are my collections decent enough, brother?" Ma Tengyun asked with a smile. "I've heard that Master Wu also has some impressive scrolls. Would you be so kind as to expand my collection?"

Wu Xian's expression was strange, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

He immediately said modestly, "I'm afraid my painting won't meet Brother Ma's standards." "Hey~ when it comes to collecting, who cares about strength or weakness?" Ma Tengyun said indifferently, "It would be great if you could expand your collection categories."

“To be honest, some of my premium gold coins are quite expensive to produce,” Wu Xian said, his eyes flashing slightly. “Moreover, the current sales method is mainly through card draws. If Brother Ma is interested, you can take a look at our club’s official website.”

"Drawing cards?" Ma Tengyun's expression was strange.

He immediately pulled out an incredibly high-spec mobile phone and projected a series of blue light screens in front of his eyes.

After examining and studying it, Ma Tengyun was amazed. "What a brilliant idea! I never expected Master Wu to be such a business genius. He actually came up with such a unique sales method."

"It's alright, it's alright," Wu Xian smiled modestly. "It mainly depends on fate. If you can draw it, it's fate."

“However, let’s forget about the gacha,” Ma Tengyun said with a smile. “My collection only accepts original scrolls, not the kind that are not authorized. Master Wu, you can name your price, and I can package them all together. Money, resources, materials, etc. are not a problem.”

Wu Xian was once again shocked by the super-rich second-generation heir in front of him.

I've seen people buy gold coupons, but I've never seen someone immediately ask for a package deal.

Moreover, they don't even care about the [duplicate] version; it has to be the [original] version in its complete form.

As long as the price is right, Wu Xian is happy to do this business.

"Brother Ma may not be aware that my scroll system is quite complex, so there are quite a few of them," Wu Xian reminded him.

“No problem,” Ma Tengyun said nonchalantly, “It would be best if you could just fill my shrine cabinet.”

Wu Xian was speechless.

Well, I guess I was just too narrow-minded.

"With so many gold scrolls, Brother Ma, do you usually manage to use them all?" Wu Xian asked curiously. "When you need them, isn't it troublesome to find them?"

It's understandable to like collecting picture scrolls, but having so many scrolls mixed together probably makes them inconvenient to use.

Ma Tengyun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this divine cabinet of mine is a collection of the craftsmanship and talent of various masters. Whichever scroll you need, just think of it and the corresponding scroll will be automatically summoned."

As he spoke, with a slight thought, a golden scroll behind him transformed into a stream of light and flew out, taking shape beside Ma Tengyun. It transformed into a female angel with holy wings, golden hair, and blue eyes.

It has six gold stars and is the iconic Angel Scroll of the Divine Capital Dojo.

"I see."

Wu Xian suddenly realized that it was actually an intelligent storage device that was directly connected to Ma Tengyun's mental and spiritual power.

"But with so many scrolls, can Brother Ma practice them all?" Wu Xian pressed.

"That's why we have to rely on Master Wu's Spirit-Nourishing Pill," Ma Tengyun said, getting to the point. "The moment I learned about the effects of the Spirit-Nourishing Pill, I knew that a major problem that had been troubling me had been solved."

This is also the fundamental reason why I, your brother, made a special trip to meet with Master Wu.

At first, I considered having my subordinates help me level up, but some annoying little problems always arose, such as accidentally developing a spiritual connection with my subordinates, so in the end I still had to do it myself.

Some commonly used scrolls are fine; I can easily level up my character's skills on the side. The real problem is those scrolls that are gathering dust in my drawer—I simply don't have that much time and energy for them.

Wu Xian was speechless. "The Spirit-Nourishing Pill is indeed quite suitable for Brother Ma's Scroll Museum."

"If I'm not mistaken, as the Spirit Feeding Pill's grade increases, the level it can raise will also be higher, right?" Ma Tengyun asked with great interest.

"of course."
