Chapter 220: Invitation From The Alliance
Not long after, 【Bihai Flower】 Authorized Original Copy condensed into a scroll.
Xue Lingling took the scroll painting contentedly, the Authorization Imprint merging into her Sea of Consciousness, and feigned seriousness as she said: “Alright, that’s the end of this matter, go on~ go on~, your master still has a ton of things to handle.”
Wu Xian nodded and took his leave.
On the way home, he felt endless emotions in his heart.
As someone who had lived two lives, in his previous life he had been a married man, yet now he had been “educated” by a young lady in her twenties.
It could indeed be considered a unique experience exclusive to Transmigrators.
As for the Plant Element strategy scroll painting for the broad fanbase, there was no need to stick rigidly to the Undead System.
There were so many mythological legends from his previous life, and there were plenty of Plant Element big shots.
High-end ones like the Wood God Jumang, Shen Nong, and Goddess Empress Mulberry were definitely out of reach for now, but there were some lower-end ones, as well as grassroots faith-based Grass and Wood gods.
Such as the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Flower Goddess Nuyi, Tree God, and so on.
That said, did our Third Prince count as a “plant god”?
…
In the Underworld Club, inside the President’s Palace.
Xue Lingling summoned the 【Bihai Flower】 beside the bed with great interest, examining and appreciating it closely.
It might look a bit terrifying and eerie to others, but in her aesthetics, it was absolutely bubbling with beauty.
One could only say that her good disciple truly understood her.
“Tsk tsk, drawing your master so beautifully, with such powerful abilities too—it seems your master holds quite a bit of status in her good disciple’s heart.”
This was probably her good disciple’s way of expressing “reverence” toward her.
“Bihai Flower?” Xue Lingling pondered inwardly, “Those strange blood-red flowers on the Yellow Springs Road?”
She had to admit, her good disciple’s talent in scroll paintings was truly unmatched.
“Oh~ soul resonance already?”
Feeling that natural Soul Resonance, Xue Lingling’s eyes were filled with delight.
“Could it be that I also have the potential to become an outstanding Spirit Tamer like Second Brother?”
After appreciating it thoroughly, she liked it more and more.
Sitting at the head of the bed, swinging her legs, she didn’t know what she was thinking about.
A long while later, she got up and went to the vanity, using the Bihai Flower’s makeup as reference to touch up her own appearance simply.
Not bad, not bad—this was exactly the feeling she had always wanted.
Then she found a similar black gauze dress from the wardrobe, changed into it, and stood before the mirror, immersing herself in her peerless beauty, unconsciously admiring herself smugly.
Though to others, this beauty had a bit of an Underworld vibe.
…
The next morning, Wu Xian was pondering the City God Temple and the Plant Element strategy scroll painting.
Master Sister suddenly called him.
The five Alliance big shots who had been staying in the 【Underworld】 Experience Instance lately had finally come out, and they specifically asked to see him.
Truth be told, he was quite curious about why these five big shots had been living inside the instance.
When he arrived at the club, the five big shots were chatting happily with Xue Lingling and Xue Zhengying.
But after clearly seeing Master Sister’s “new look,” he couldn’t help being a bit stunned, feeling something off in his heart.
Why had she even COSplayed the 【Bihai Flower】 look?
Xue Zhengying and Xue Qingyang naturally noticed Xue Lingling’s changes too, and it wasn’t just the makeup and clothes—her entire spirit and demeanor seemed to have undergone some subtle shift.
Others might not notice, but as family, they sensed it keenly.
“Why did Little Sister suddenly change her style today?” Xue Zhengying asked casually in conversation.
“Yeah, Little Aunt,” Xue Qingyang chimed in: “Why do I feel like something’s off about you?”
“Is there?” Xue Lingling was baffled, “I just changed my style, that’s all.”
Xue Zhengying and Xue Qingyang exchanged a glance—something was definitely wrong.
On the other side, Manager Du from the Network Department and the others, upon seeing Xue Lingling’s new style today, had already started snickering secretly, with expressions of sudden realization.
This feeling of unintentionally being on the front lines of gossip was pretty thrilling.
“Don’t blab about this outside, got it?” Manager Du quietly instructed his several subordinates, “I can’t bear to lose such a great job.”
“Don’t worry, Director, we get it~!”
The Network Department staff grinned slyly.
“Good Disciple, come sit over here.”
Xue Lingling enthusiastically beckoned Wu Xian to sit, completely unaware that she was different from her usual self.
She only knew that this new style her good disciple had designed for her “struck right at her heart.”
Wu Xian sat down with a strange expression, politely nodding to the five Alliance big shots; as someone who had been through it, he could naturally sense that subtle change in Master Sister.
Just yesterday he had teasingly asked Master Sister when her youthful heart had first stirred.
Who would have thought~ who would have thought, Master Sister’s current appearance wasn’t exactly the look of a young girl’s heart stirring?
Her Underworld face carried a kind of inexplicable joy and smile, not even knowing what she was so happy about herself, and the way she looked at him had already shifted subtly without her realizing.
Oh no, oh no, it seemed like he had landed in big trouble.
Though Master Sister’s new style did strike right at his heart too—otherwise he wouldn’t have designed the Bihai Flower like this.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his old heart faintly reigniting with vitality.
Three Pure Ones above, my Lord preserve me, Amitabha.
After silently reciting a heart-clearing incantation in his mind, that restlessness finally calmed a bit.
“Little Wu, this Domain Scroll Painting of yours is nothing short of a masterpiece of genius!” Jiang Chenglei and the others sighed deeply, looking at Wu Xian with eyes full of admiration.
“Indeed, this Zhang has lived half his life, and this is the first time a scroll painting instance has given me insight into the Great Dao of life.”
After these days of experience and insights, the five Alliance big shots were constantly awed by the 【Underworld】.
It was an unprecedented instance experience that touched the soul.
Whether in mindset or insights into life and the Great Dao of Life and Death, there had been clear improvements.
It allowed them to see through many things.
Many past pursuits and obsessions now seemed far less important.
For instance, the path to future promotions no longer seemed so crucial.
Now, they only wanted to stay in the Tianfeng Province Alliance, patiently awaiting the growth and updates of the 【Underworld】 instance.
Because they could feel that this Domain Instance might elevate them to higher Spirit Tamer realms.
Put it this way: the five Gold Scrolls they had obtained before had now achieved perfect Soul Resonance with them.
Once they raised the Proficiency later, breaking through the 【Hero Tower】 twenty layers would be just a matter of time.
“You’re all too kind, Seniors,” Wu Xian smiled humbly, “To be recognized by you Seniors like this is this junior’s honor.”
“Master Xiao Wu is too modest,” Jiang Chenglei sighed: “I wonder if Master Xiao Wu has any interest in including this Domain Scroll Painting in our Alliance’s Hero Tower?”
“Ah?” Wu Xian was both shocked and delighted, “Didn’t they say the selection standards are very high?”
Jiang Chenglei chuckled wryly: “If a Domain of such high quality doesn’t meet the standard, then other Domain Scroll Paintings would have even less qualification. In my view, your Domain Scroll Painting could very well be included in the thirty layers or above in the future.”
Wu Xian took a deep breath and inquired: “Do I need to prepare anything? Directly the original or the Authorized Original Copy?”
“The Authorized Original Copy will do,” Jiang Chenglei said: “If Materials are insufficient, our Alliance can provide some help, or even for subsequent expansions of the Domain Scroll Painting, the Alliance will provide certain Resources as support.
This is the treatment top-tier Domain Scroll Paintings deserve in our Alliance; all the outstanding Masters from the various Dojos receive the same.”
Good grief, they were even willing to help provide Materials, just to get the 【Underworld】 into the Hero Tower.
“Oh right, the subsequent optimizations and promotions of the Domain Instance within the Hero Tower will also provide Master Xiao Wu with quite a few Hero Points,” Jiang Chenglei added: “Which can be exchanged in our Alliance for various rare Materials and items, or to hire us to serve you and such.”
