Chapter 306: Raw Material Problems
“What the heck, there are special effects?”
“It’s the gacha pull effects, the moment you draw a gold scroll, a golden light descends from the sky, and the projection of the corresponding gold scroll slowly descends.”
“Holy crap, real or fake?”
“Then I must go try my luck, whether it’s gold or not doesn’t matter, what matters is showing off.”
Not long after, someone soon posted a video of the City God Temple gacha pull scene on the official website forum.
It stirred up waves upon waves.
In the video footage, a young man prayed devoutly, a blue light screen condensed by the network hub emerged before his eyes, and he chanted: “City God above, please bless me to draw the Fish Gill Marshal.”
After the prayer ended, he devoutly offered incense, then began a frenzy of ten consecutive draws.
Not long after, a golden light sprinkled down from mid-air, landing on the young man, causing an uproar throughout the scene.
In the golden light, the projection of the Fish Gill Marshal, fierce and majestic, slowly floated down before the young man, transforming into a gold scroll exchange voucher.
The young man was stunned for a long time, then burst into tears of joy, “I…I…I just knew it, the Fish Gill Marshal was tailor-made for me!”
The envy, jealousy, and hatred from the crowd nearby—many directly stepped forward to offer a price to buy the young man’s gold scroll voucher, but unfortunately, the young man had no intention of selling.
On the forum, the Yaoyang City netizens were truly blinded.
“Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!”
“What kind of showing off in front of people is this?”
“If I could show off like that once, I’d die without regrets.”
“What’s life for if not to show off big time?”
“Wail, Wu Dog, you’re not human! Why make something like this.”
“Isn’t this obviously trying to make me go bankrupt?”
“Um… weakly asking, can the Four Seas Dragon Palace new card pool be drawn at the City God Temple?”
“Seems not, I saw the announcement saying a Dragon King Temple will be launched later.”
“By the way, how are the ocean system scroll paintings in that new card pool?”
“I tried it, Wu Dog is disgusting, but his ability is undeniable, basically on par with the Ten Great Yin Marshals.”
“If that’s the case, I can draw one to try, and we just happen to have the Endless Sea Teleportation Gate now.”
“Hello everyone, I’m a new fan from Cuihu City, recently hooked on your club’s ocean system scroll paintings, any old fans to give pointers.”
“A new fan from Cuihu City? The Underworld Club’s fame has spread to your side?”
“Yeah, recently many in the circles are discussing it.”
“Just draw if you want, quality is absolutely top-notch, just a bit money-draining.”
“Money-draining?” The Cuihu City new fan was puzzled.
“Heh heh, at first you might feel like you’re making a small profit, but when you want to upgrade silver scrolls and gold scrolls, you’ll know what spending money like water means.”
……
Tianfeng Province, Hu Yan City.
Affected by the city space route blockade and the “Three Gods Version,” Hu Yan City, this high-welfare city, was now starting to tighten its belt.
The public was gradually breeding resentment toward the Huyan Family.
Hu Yanfei hadn’t realized this yet; at this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of gacha pulls.
“Got it, finally got it!”
Looking at the dazzling gold scroll voucher on the screen with maxed-out effects, Hu Yanfei was excited to tears.
He had longed for it day and night for so long, and finally drew a gold scroll from the Underworld Club.
He had almost forgotten how much money he had poured in.
“Gold scroll Black and White Impermanence? That’s acceptable.”
Hu Yanfei was fairly satisfied with this result, but unfortunately, the Twenty-Eight Mansions were not directly in the card pool and required two lower-tier gold scrolls to exchange.
And not long ago, he had already acquired a gold scroll voucher at a high price.
In other words, he could now go exchange for the Star Constellation Series gold scroll.
However, just as he was preparing to head to Yaoyang City, he saw his father walking over with a heavy heart, “Little Fei, try to save as much as possible from now on, our family might have to live frugally.”
“Huh?” Hu Yanfei was dumbfounded, “What big thing happened? Did someone poach all our industries?”
“It’s no longer an issue of industries,” Huyan Zhong shook his head with a bitter smile, “The era change triggered by the Three Gods is subtly affecting everything, our Huyan Family… Sigh~ forget it, it’s too early to tell you these things now.”
Hu Yanfei couldn’t help but look serious, “If there’s any difficulty, you can tell your son, I’m already grown up.”
“Forget it, forget it,” Huyan Zhong seemed somewhat irritated, “Just save where you can from now on.”
……
Yaoyang City, Underworld Club.
In the president’s palace.
Under Wu Xian’s personal guidance, Xue Lingling earnestly tried 3D concept scroll painting.
Although she had no talent in alchemy, she was quite interested in 3D concept scroll painting.
“Good disciple, you’re such a genius!” Xue Lingling grew more and more shocked as she learned, “How did you think of this method?”
“Maybe it’s destiny,” Wu Xian explained: “Under normal scroll paintings, the drawing paper affects the medicinal properties, so we have to abandon spiritual drawing paper as a carrier.”
Xue Lingling nodded repeatedly, “Feels like this draw from nothing method has a lot of potential, just requires high mental power.”
“Indeed.” Wu Xian deeply agreed.
Whether draw from nothing concept or 3D concept, it was a fundamental subversion of current extraordinary scroll paintings.
Future application scenarios would absolutely not be limited to medicine scroll paintings.
But for now, aside from medicine scroll paintings, other types of scroll paintings had no need for this production process.
“You go ahead and get busy, let your master figure it out himself.”
Xue Lingling was endlessly fascinated by this draw from nothing concept method and practiced tirelessly.
Seeing this, Wu Xian didn’t disturb her anymore.
Just as he stepped out, he saw an elder from the association side, who had obviously learned the【Returning Origin Pill】 news.
For the association, Wu Xian was not stingy and immediately signed an order with them, and as a bonus, could get a stable raw materials supply from the association’s channels.
But relying solely on the association’s supply definitely wouldn’t be enough.
Then he temporarily requisitioned a【Master Scroll Painter】, put the authorized original copy of the Returning Origin Pill into it, and “printed” a batch of Returning Origin Pills.
The spiritual grass and herbs, plant element materials in hand were basically depleted.
This forced Wu Xian to start addressing the raw materials supply issue.
Boss Hu’s Wanrong Chamber of Commerce could also provide some raw material supply, but in limited quantities.
According to Boss Hu, spiritual grass and herbs had always been controlled by major pharmaceutical families and vendors; over half of today’s spiritual grass and herbs flowed into these pharmaceutical families and vendors.
This further strengthened Wu Xian’s determination to develop a plant element dimension teleportation gate.
“Excuse me, is Master Wu Xian here?”
The voice from the reception area caught Wu Xian’s attention.
Looking over in doubt, he saw a stranger in his forties; from the aura, he judged it was a Level Eight Spiritual Power big shot.
“Senior is…?” Wu Xian asked doubtfully as he approached.
“I am Xiao Changqing, my daughter Xiao Yu.” The unfamiliar middle-aged man introduced himself quite respectfully.
Wu Xian instantly reacted, “So it’s Uncle Xiao, come in, come in.”
“Master Little Wu is too polite,” Xiao Changqing smiled: “We’ll have to rely on you for more support in the future.”
