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

Chapter 93 The Frustrated Zhao Family

Unable to hide his joy, Zhang Mazi revealed his son's previous crazy decision.

Wu Xian was greatly shocked after hearing this.

This little guy is going to become his die-hard fan!

"Okay, okay, I'll have the president add you to the membership and register you for the competition right away."

Wu Xian immediately called Xue Lingling and explained the situation.

Xue Lingling naturally had no objection to this. After all, he was Wu Xian's player, and Wu Xian was responsible for his salary. It would also help the club increase its manpower.

Little did they know, Wu Xian didn't even need to be paid a salary.

"Your Majesty, I have made great gains in the strange abyss these past few days. This is just a small gift, nothing more."

Zhang Zihao presented several rare and bizarre materials with burning eyes.

They're even willing to pay out of their own pockets.

But only Zhang Zihao knew the true extent of his opportunity.

These past two days, my father and I have been fighting like crazy in the eerie abyss. The Minotaur Yin General is incredibly powerful.

Wu Xian gladly accepted the compliment and praised and encouraged Zhang Zihao. Then, he looked at Zhang Mazi with great interest and said, "Why do I feel that Brother Zhang Mazi is a little different from before?"

"My rascal is doing great, and it gives me a lot of motivation. He just had a major transformation yesterday with Boss Lin," Zhang Mazi laughed. "Right now, he can only hold his own against Ox-Headed Yin General."

"What the hell?!"

Wu Xian was stunned when he heard that.

Is he able to fight on par with the Ox-Headed Yin General who possesses the [Netherworld Divine Power]?

"After all, it was something I almost lost half my life for."

Zhang Mazi smiled憨厚ly, and as his spiritual energy surged, strange tattoo patterns appeared on his arms, chest, and neck.

That's right, it's a pattern, not a picture.

This is clearly a pattern that tattoo artist Lin Yang discovered, currently the most suitable for "human body scroll art".

The intricate and exquisite patterns exude a sense of order, which is quite peculiar.

On a whim, Wu Xian suggested sparring with Zhang Mazi.

boom! boom! boom!
After several rounds, my whole body felt sore and numb, and the key point was that Zhang Mazi was clearly holding back.

This guy definitely has the ability to fight against the Bull-Headed Yin General.

"Master Wu's strength is impressive!" Zhang Mazi exclaimed in amazement.

"I like to do some physical training on weekdays," Wu Xian said with an awkward smile, "but I can't compare to my older brother."

Zhang Mazi clicked his tongue and nodded, "Such a good disciple, it's a pity he doesn't join Glorious Evolution."

"..."

Although Wu Xian was somewhat speechless, he was still quite interested.

I'll definitely try getting a tattoo in the future, but not the kind of tattoo designs that are still in the exploratory stage like this one.

Instead, he waited for the tattoo artist to perfect the technique before combining it with his own design ideas to create a suitable tattoo for himself.

Of course, the first thing to arrange is for the old man.

When the time comes, the old man will take off his shirt, revealing a green dragon on his left and a white tiger on his right, with Guan Yu on his back and a Buddha on his chest. He'll look like a cool old man from the streets. Just thinking about it makes me feel awesome.

After seeing off Zhang Mazi and his son, he continued his research on the scroll painting.

However, the Winged Fire Serpent, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Even with the materials provided by the Blazing Firebird, there was still a sense of elusiveness, and mental strength was somewhat strained.

It's fair to say that drawing the Twenty-Eight Mansions is still a bit of a stretch.

Logically speaking, it would be simpler to start with the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, but unfortunately, we encountered the Blazing Fire Bird.

The good news is that adjusting the pigment ratio seems to alleviate this situation.

Thus, this research lasted for three whole days.

During that time, he and Zhang Zihao went to the bubble tournament together and fought side by side, winning relatively easily.

Zhang Zihao lived up to expectations, bringing in many rubbings orders for Niu Tou Yin Shuai.

Of course, Wu Xian himself also attracted quite a few orders. It's worth mentioning that the previous twelve copies of the Black and White Impermanence set have already converted into three duplicate orders, and the other rubbing customers are probably still observing.

This morning, I went with my mentor to complete a transaction with the association.

A large amount of divine power factors and spirit crystals were obtained.

A portion remained with the club as operating funds, while the remainder was split equally between the mentor and his apprentice.

Even so, it still brought Wu Xian a huge fortune.

To put it simply, he's now rolling in money and has even started ordering high-level monster materials from Boss Hu.

The wealth of the God of Wealth is even more astonishingly abundant.

……

Yaoyang City, Scroll Painters Association.

Having just completed the transaction, Cui Wenxuan also began to get busy with work.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Organize people to go on business trips to help various forces upgrade the gold scrolls of Death Mountain Town. Be flexible with the pricing," Cui Wenxuan urged his subordinates anxiously. "We absolutely cannot let other friendly associations get ahead of us."

"Guild Master, isn't it a bit unethical of us to do this? What if the Necromancer Gym..."

"What does this have to do with me? Only a fool wouldn't make money when there's money to be made."

Normally, the leak of the Golden Scroll strategy would be a major incident, and the association headquarters would definitely have to take the Undead Gym into consideration.

But this time is different.

If the Zhao family had any sense of shame, they would have had to suffer in silence this time.

Anyway, this small amount of money is nothing in the eyes of a wealthy family like the Zhao family.

……

The Hall of the Dead, inside a magnificent hall.

Several members of the Zhao family, led by Zhao Gao, the head of the Zhao family, gathered together, their faces increasingly grim.

Zhao Qinghe, in particular, was extremely stiff. "So, Xue Lingling, you've really grown some guts, haven't you?"

They originally hoped to make a fortune from this opportunity, but who would have thought that in just one day, all the deals that the family had agreed to were snatched away by the association with low prices.

"Alright, family honor is paramount," Zhao Gao said in a deep voice. "Notify all branches of the family to act quickly and minimize losses."

"Okay, Master."

"Such a big thing as the leak of the Golden Scrolls, are we just going to let it go like this?" Zhao Qinghe said, feeling aggrieved.

"Who leaked it, you?" Zhao Gao said irritably, throwing out a stack of intelligence documents. "Look at the rhetoric of the various departments in the association. They're implying it overtly and covertly, they're practically saying it was leaked from our Zhao family."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinghe was speechless.

"We were in the wrong to begin with, so we can only try to keep this quiet." Zhao Gao said helplessly. "I didn't expect that little girl from the Xue family could get the association to help her. I underestimated her."

"What do we do now?" Zhao Qinghe gritted his teeth. "The other companies will probably use this as an excuse to make things difficult for us."

Zhao Gao's eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he said, "The other families are easy to deal with, as they are not clean themselves. However, this matter is more troublesome in terms of the impact on the reputation of my Zhao family."

"That way, after we've recovered some of the losses, we'll issue a public announcement in the name of the Zhao family, directly releasing the Golden Scroll strategy. This will not only help the family restore its reputation but also give you some exposure and goodwill."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinghe's eyes brightened slightly.

Young Master Zhao has everything he needs, all he wants is to show off and save face!

At that moment, Zhao Gao suddenly received a phone call, and his face turned grim.

"What's wrong, father?"

"Hiss~ The Holy Spirit Dojo has suspended its business with [Soul Essence] and some important materials. It seems something serious has happened." Zhao Gao's face was gloomy.

"What?!" Zhao Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, "Such a big deal, just like that, it's over?"

Zhao Gao's expression shifted between light and dark. "Send someone to investigate. This matter is suspicious."

It's important to know that the business with the Holy Spirit Dojo has always been one of the core businesses of the Zhao family.

The things they provide are also indispensable resources for the Holy Spirit Dojo.

But now, the Holy Spirit Dojo has actually cut off this business on its own initiative?
"Could they have found a substitute? That shouldn't be the case..."
