Chapter 111: Budget Qiankun Bag
“So annoying, so regretful. If I had known it would be like this, I should have placed an order for the Instance Version right away!”
“Yeah, what the hell was I hesitating about back then?”
“Exactly, I see many guys who got their hands on Instance Versions have gone to the Beginner Instance Area to show off their prestige.”
“Speaking of which, how come I haven’t seen any fans of the Ghost King Scroll Painting in the Beginner Instance Area? Is the Beginner Instance Area not appealing enough?”
“Damn, didn’t the group say we were going to control the population? What are you all doing?”
“Sorry, everyone, I was just bragging earlier. The Yin Commander Scroll Painting still can’t go to the Beginner Instance Area for now.”
The rebuttals from the Yin Commander fans gradually faded away.
But this series of rebuttals and discussions directly made the Ghost King fans lose their confidence.
Especially those knowledgeable guys who had ventured in big cities, each one looking puzzled and thoughtful.
“Something’s off, everyone. These people seem afraid others will know how excellent their Scroll Paintings are?”
“Someone has already taken a Yin Commander Scroll Painting to the Beginner Instance? Just bragging, right?”
“You might not believe it, but yesterday after promoting the Soul Devouring Ghost King to Three-Star, I really encountered quite a few teams bringing Black and White Impermanence and Ox-Head and Horse-Face in the Beginner Instance Area.”
“Holy crap, could that Grassroots Genius Scroll Painter really have something to it?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Not listening, not listening, turtle chanting sutras! Ghost King Series is number one in the world!”
Some believed, naturally others doubted.
But many knowledgeable guys who had returned from wandering in big cities all simultaneously had a thought: get a rubbing first to test the waters?
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the Tang Family Mansion, Tang Qingxuan had recently been staying at the Tang Family.
The Scroll Painter exam was coming up soon, and she planned to take Tiaotiao to the Mechanical Dojo for further training after Tiaotiao got her Scroll Painter certificate.
This would save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and also add some performance credits to the Yaoyang City Association.
“Sister Qingxuan, what are you doing?” Seeing Tang Qingxuan thoughtfully browsing her phone, Tang Tiaotiao curiously leaned in. “Oh~ Isn’t this the Ghost King Club Official Website? Do you want to order Little Xianzi’s Scroll Painting?”
“Mm,” Tang Qingxuan said with hesitation, “Those two reconnaissance-type Undead Scroll Paintings feel pretty useful.”
“Just go straight to Little Xianzi, right?” Tang Tiaotiao said, amused. “Why go to such trouble?”
Tang Qingxuan smiled lightly and explained, “Scroll Painting Sales data is still very important to Scroll Painters, and Older Sister isn’t in that much of a hurry. It’s fine as long as I get it before leaving.”
“Oh, like that~?” Tang Tiaotiao understood. “Then do I have to join a club or something in the future too?”
“Of course not,” Tang Qingxuan explained. “Our Tang Family already has plenty of clubs in various places. When the time comes, just hand over the sales volume push to the people below. Your mission is to fully conceptualize the Twelve Heavenly Riders.”
“Hand over the Twelve Heavenly Riders to others?” Tang Tiaotiao was a bit reluctant.
“Of course not. When the time comes, use the Twelve Heavenly Riders as your thought process to conceive some low-level Scroll Paintings, like the subordinates of a certain Heavenly Rider or something.”
“Oh, like that. That’s fine then,” Tang Tiaotiao said, satisfied. “Speaking of which, that Alien Insect corpse really gave me some ideas before.”
“Tell me about it?” Tang Qingxuan’s eyes lit up slightly. “Could it be an insect-type Mechanical Scroll Painting?”
“Yeah, a mechanical worm shuttling through the Mechanical World.”
…
Yaoyang City, Abyssal Realm control area defense line.
The army warriors stationed here year-round had also deeply experienced the power of this batch of Ten Great Yin Marshals Scroll Paintings.
“Commander, this batch of Scroll Paintings sent from above is impressive!” The company commanders leading the test were all amazed. “What’s the source? Can it be equipped on a large scale?”
The middle-aged man called Commander naturally saw the potential of this batch of Scroll Paintings.
With the suppression power of the Ten Great Yin Marshals against Abyssal Monsters, if he could equip a company with them, he even had the confidence to push this defense line further outward and seize a larger area.
“It was sent over from the old Leader’s side. Not clear on the specific source.” The Commander’s gaze was sharp. “I’ll call the old Leader right now.”
The army stationed year-round at the Dimensional Defense Line still didn’t know about the recent events in Yaoyang City.
At this moment, among the combat teams resting in the rear, a bald middle-aged warrior puzzledly spoke up. “Huh? Isn’t this Little Boss’s Black and White Impermanence?”
“You know this Scroll Painting?” The nearby Captain asked in surprise.
“Yeah,” Zhao He said without thinking. “This Guardian Tiger under me is Little Boss’s work.”
…
North Street District, small villa.
Wu Xian’s research on the Qiankun Bag had fallen into a deep bottleneck.
He had clearly simplified the background through several versions, but it still felt like he “couldn’t reach it.” As for materials, he had already used the best possible ones.
“Or is it because Maitreya Buddha’s prestige is too high?”
Although he had simplified many versions, every version couldn’t escape the key existence of “Maitreya Buddha.”
Even in the latest conception version, Wu Xian deliberately vague it, without directly mentioning Maitreya Buddha, but instead hinted at such a powerful existence in a roundabout way.
But the result was still no good.
It seemed that as soon as it involved any conception related to Maitreya Buddha, the prestige would instantly rise several tiers.
But if it didn’t involve Maitreya Buddha, then this Qiankun Bag would only be at the level of a Qiankun Bag from a cultivation novel.
In his contemplation, Wu Xian suddenly thought of something.
“Hiss~ If I can’t get it directly from Maitreya Buddha’s hands, what if the Qiankun Bag itself is in a lost state?”
Wu Xian got more and more excited as he thought about it, immediately removing Maitreya Buddha from the conception and replacing it with Yellow Eyebrow.
“Haha, there’s a buffer in between, and it’s in a lost state. This should finally work, right?”
Although Yellow Eyebrow Great King was also a top Great Demon, it was ultimately just a “low-level” rank, and its status definitely wouldn’t be as outrageous as Maitreya Buddha’s.
He immediately took out a brand new Fine Quality Drawing Paper and started trying.
“It really has potential!”
Facts proved this thought process was correct.
Although he failed several times in a row, wasting quite a few materials, he could at least feel the possibility of success; it was just that the success rate wasn’t very high.
Finally, after more than ten failures and collapses, the Qiankun Bag was successfully drawn.
Buzz~!
Heaven and Earth Laws gathered and locked in, Copyright Imprint emerged in his mind.
A vast spatial aura came into being, and under the Divine Light, it transformed into a Scroll Painting.
【Qiankun Bag】
Version: Original（Gold Embroidery Border）
Rank: Woody
Painted Spirit: ★★★
Spirituality: 64
Talent Trait: Ruyi Qiankun
“Woody?!”
The instant he saw the Woody Scroll, Wu Xian was amused.
He thought Copper Scroll was low enough, but he never expected to one day make a 【Woody】 Scroll Painting.
This was probably the defect of forcing it out.
But no matter what, even the most basic Qiankun Bag was still a Qiankun Bag. At least in terms of Storage Ability, it absolutely wouldn’t disappoint him.
With a thought, he turned the Scroll Painting into a golden treasure bag.
His Mental Power probed inside, the space so vast he couldn’t see the end at a glance. Moreover, this level of space was clearly not comparable to a Spatial Bracelet; it was more like an Independent Small World.
“Sure enough, only simple Storage Ability?”
For now, it definitely couldn’t hold people, but at least it solved his storage problem.
He transferred all the belongings from the two Spatial Bracelets into the Qiankun Bag in one go.
Then he hung the Qiankun Bag at his waist.
He went to the Association to book an exchange of all the balance in that card into Spirit Crystals.
After finishing, he naturally headed to the Abyssal Realm Dimensional Port.
“After so many days, I wonder how those ‘Ghost Sons’ have developed?”
However, the atmosphere at the Dimensional Port now seemed a bit strange.
Outside the entrance to the Beginner Instance Area, there were adventurers everywhere, gathering in groups of three or five to shout for teams.
