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

Chapter 91 The Value of the Strategy

"That's true. Spending too much time with a mediocre person like your president makes it hard to broaden one's horizons."

Xue Lingling continued her mockery unhurriedly, looking at the president of the Divine Fire Club as if he were an ant.

"Damn it, she's just a little girl who came back from a dojo, and she really thinks she's something special?"

The captain of the Divine Fire Club had a contorted expression, yet he was powerless to deal with the blazing fire bird.

Wu Xian observed everything, feeling a sense of unease.

From the first time he met Xue Lingling, he always felt that Xue Lingling exuded an air of superiority.

This feeling is not one of superiority, but rather a kind of contempt from a higher being towards a lower being.

Whether it was using refugees to farm monsters back in the Dimensional Mirage, or the contemptuous attitude and words now, they all convey this feeling.

"Sigh~ Only my grandmother has a good temper."

Xue Lingling wasn't angry; she just sighed softly.

"Are the other scroll painters really that bad-tempered?" Wu Xian asked thoughtfully.

“Of course, I’ve been quite lenient.” Xue Lingling said without hesitation, “If it were those scroll painters from the Daoist clans, he would be dead already just because of what he just said.”

"..." Wu Xian was speechless. "Is it really that ruthless?"

“Those people don’t even consider themselves human anymore,” Xue Lingling said, shrugging. “They’re lucky to have met a scroll painter like me who still has humanity.”

Wu Xian was greatly shocked and asked in bewilderment, "Don't you see yourself as a human being?"

"My dear disciple, you don't still think you're a mortal, do you?" Xue Lingling smiled with narrowed eyes. "From the moment you condensed the divine diagram, you were no longer a mortal."

"What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. You may not feel this way now, but in the future, this feeling will become stronger and stronger," Xue Lingling said meaningfully.

Wu Xian took a deep breath, his mind racing.

At that moment, he finally understood what that feeling was like.

It was a feeling similar to how cultivators viewed mortals.

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Divine Fire Club have been eliminated by the Blazing Fire Divine Bird.

"Alright, it's our turn to make a move!"

Xue Lingling interrupted Wu Xian's thoughts, stepped on the coffin lid, and charged forward first.

Sensing the approach of the two, the Fiery Bird, which had just calmed down, flew into a rage again and attacked them.

The temperature around us was rising higher and higher, and most people simply couldn't withstand it.

With wealth protecting him, Wu Xian naturally felt no pressure.

Enveloped in a layer of yin energy, Xue Lingling was completely unafraid of the scorching heat.

Buzz~!

The moment the Ghost King's Divine Diagram was opened, a powerful spiritual pressure surged forth.

The Soul-Devouring Ghost King, along with eight other Ghost Kings, charged out and instantly withstood the attack of the Blazing Fire Divine Bird. However, their goal was not to kill the Blazing Fire Divine Bird. "My good disciple, I will confront it head-on. See if you can restrain this Guardian Spirit."

"it is good."

Wu Xian immediately unfolded the Ten Great Yin Generals Divine Diagram.

As for bird-type holy spirits, we should naturally use [Bird Beak Commander] to deal with them, but the opponent is, after all, a high-level holy spirit that can produce divine power factors, so relying solely on Bird Beak Commander is obviously not enough.

With a determined effort, Wu Xian released all ten Yin Marshals.

Although controlling so many painting spirits at the same time consumes spiritual energy very quickly, the effect is very obvious.

The Blazing Divine Bird had already been weakened by the Divine Fire Club, and now it was facing a powerful opponent like Xue Lingling.

The two powerful spiritual images of the soul gods exerted immense pressure, while the ten Yin generals displayed their unique abilities.

The powerful Fiery Divine Bird was quickly and completely suppressed.

The demon-suppressing bell in the Ghost King's hand continuously emitted a strange suppressing power, while the White Impermanence's soul-summoning banner was also exerting its force...

Ultimately, under the powerful suppression of the Ten Yin Generals, the Blazing Fire Divine Bird was firmly bound by the Soul-Binding Chains.

Chirp chirp... The bird-beaked general emitted a series of eerie bird calls, transforming into a ghostly blue bird with a small white flower on its head.

With a gentle peck, its long, pointed beak easily broke through the spirit body of the Fiery Divine Bird and began to frantically absorb the Fiery Divine Bird's holy power.

"It seems like you can inhale everything," Xue Lingling said, both surprised and delighted. "Slow down, slow down, leave some for your teacher."

The Fiery Divine Bird truly lives up to its reputation as an entity capable of producing divine power factors; the Holy Spirit Spirit Body is indeed the ultimate tonic.

The high temperature quickly subsided, and the enormous fiery bird was completely drained.

The Bird-Beaked General was instantly promoted to four stars, and the refinement of the Ten Great Yin Generals' Divine Diagrams also increased significantly.

Unfortunately, with the fall of the Fiery Bird, the entire Holy Spirit Island instance began to distort and dim.

"Killing one guardian spirit and it's all over?"

Wu Xian was taken aback, thinking he could also devour the other two great Holy Spirits.

"What do you think."

Xue Lingling immediately collected the items dropped by the Blazing Firebird.

Then, time and space twisted before their eyes, and the two returned to the Association's domain instance hall.

"What?! You guys got kicked out too?" Wang Xiaocong asked in surprise as he approached. "No wonder it's a Tier 3 Domain Dungeon, it's truly terrifying!"

"Who do you think you are?" Xue Lingling raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Divine Fire Club team not far away, then tossed Wang Xiaocong several Holy Spirit Monster materials, "Here, I can't let you waste your money."

"You cleared it?" Wang Xiaocong exclaimed excitedly and admiringly, "No wonder you're the guild leader!"

Xue Lingling remained noncommittal, then immediately divided the materials for the Blazing Fire Divine Bird among Wu Xian's, saying, "We'll each have half of the divine power factor. It even lost a feather, which I don't need, so you can have it."

"Master Sister is so generous!" Wu Xian chuckled and gave a thumbs up.

Xue Lingling smiled wryly and remarked, "Holy Spirit Island is truly a wonderful place; I must come here often."

“Indeed.” Wu Xian wholeheartedly agreed.

"Count me in~ Count me in."

Wang Xiaocong was unaware of the value of Holy Spirit Island; he simply wanted to broaden his horizons.

The family gives him so much pocket money every month, isn't it so he can go out and see the world?

On the other hand, the Shenhuo Club team members all had gloomy faces and gritted their teeth.

Unfortunately, Xue Lingling didn't take them seriously at all.

"Girl Xue, I was just about to look for you."

Old Chen appeared in the scroll copy hall at some unknown time, arriving with great interest.

"Did Old Chen want to see me about something?" Xue Lingling asked, puzzled.

"I heard your Necronomicon Gym upgraded [Dead Mountain Town] to Gold Scroll?" Old Chen said seriously, "Yaoyang City is your hometown after all. Help me with the communication, and the strategy fee is negotiable."

Xue Lingling suddenly laughed, "Tsk~ I almost forgot about that. No problem, no problem."

"So that means you agree?" Old Chen was overjoyed. "Haha, I knew you were a loyal and sentimental girl."

"Hehe, you don't need to go to the dojo, I can take care of it for you." Xue Lingling smiled, "I can even give you a discount."

"Huh?" Old Chen was surprised. "You got your hands on the strategy guide? Wow~ It must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Xue Lingling shook her head and then recounted the whole story.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen was shocked and couldn't help but feel indignant on Xue Lingling's behalf.

"Poor girl, why don't you come and develop your career in our association? Why put up with this at the Necromancer's Gym?" Old Chen sighed as he tried to recruit her. "If you come, the president will definitely arrange everything perfectly for you."

“Alright, Elder Chen,” Xue Lingling politely declined, her gaze resolute. “You know the situation of my Xue family. Once I take over the Necromancer's Guild, I will make them pay back their money with interest.”

"Alright then." Old Chen seemed to know something and sighed helplessly, "But in this case, it's not just a matter for our Yaoyang City Association anymore. Wait a moment, the chairman should be back soon."

“No problem, no problem,” Xue Lingling said with a mischievous grin, “It’s definitely more affordable than the dojo.”

Although it's not good to undermine a dojo, she's in the right.
