Chapter 35: Cultivation And Advancement Of The Divine Diagram
“I can help you ask around,” Wu Xian pretended to be troubled. “I don’t know how much you’re willing to pay?”
“This…” The two exchanged glances. “How much did you spend back then?”
Wu Xian was speechless and rubbed his forehead. “Don’t compare to me. I’m relatives with the master. You have to go by market price, got it?”
“Oh oh.”
The two little crybabies suddenly understood, their eyes even more excited.
They had previously guessed that Wu Xian had a big background, and these words undoubtedly confirmed their guess.
They just couldn’t figure out why Wu Xian would live in a shantytown like this rundown place?
“The highest market price for copper axis scroll paintings is just a few hundred thousand, and rare precious ones are one hundred twenty or thirty thousand,” the male classmate analyzed. “Exclusive scroll paintings have no standard price. How about two million?” the male crybaby probed.
Good grief, opening with a high price of two million.
This was already a premium that only master-level scroll painters could command.
Wu Xian pretended to be calm, originally wanting to raise the price a bit more, but was stopped by their sincerity.
“Additionally, as the middleman, how about twenty thousand hardship fee each for you?” the male crybaby added.
With such sincerity from the other side, Wu Xian couldn’t ask for the sky, so he took it as recognition of their eyesight.
“Alright, I’ll help you ask.”
Pretending to go back into the house, he took out his phone and muttered to himself for a bit, then returned to the door.
“The master agreed.”
The two were both shocked and delighted. “I wonder when the master has time?”
“The master has an eccentric personality and doesn’t like showing his face,” Wu Xian blabbered. “If you trust me, you can pay a deposit of one hundred thousand first, and come find me at this time tomorrow to pick up the goods.”
Hearing this, the two couldn’t help but feel regretful and hesitant.
Fortunately, a deposit of one hundred thousand wasn’t too much money for them, so they didn’t care much about being scammed.
After a brief hesitation, the two decisively placed the order.
Wu Xian chatted and joked with them while mutually adding WeChat, and learned the names of the two little crybabies.
The female crybaby was named Lian Xiao Yu, and the male crybaby was named Hong Sanbao. Both were rich kids from big cities, and their parents were top-tier spirit tamers.
Prime quality customers!
After seeing them off, Wu Xian decisively went to Boss Hu Deyou to procure raw materials.
When he reached the area between the shantytown and North Street District, he saw two groups of people aggressively blocking the intersection, with two banners hanging beside them: “Unlimited high-price acquisition of mirage monster materials.”
Looking at the auras of the leaders on both sides, they were both level six spiritual power, wearing club team uniforms, with advanced badges on their chests that only senior club members had.
They even released their main scroll paintings, standing by the side as mascots.
They were secretly competing with each other.
Passersby were discussing animatedly, and fans of each side were especially excited, rushing forward to take photos with their “idols” and selling the materials in their hands to the clubs they supported.
Wu Xian wasn’t interested in this celebrity-chasing scene, but those two “mascots” piqued his interest.
He took out his phone and logged into the scroll painting website to search for information on these two mascots.
【Blood-Colored War Maniac】 Silver Scroll Painting
Rating: 5
Introduction: One of the current top cards of the War God Club, a pure brute-type scroll painting.
Below were a bunch of comments:
“War Maniac is mighty, who can contend!” A proper fan comment.
“Image gets negative points, but it’s a pure numerical monster.”
“One of the eight great vajras in the silver league, balanced comprehensive performance, premium main scroll painting.”
“The copper axis version is so-so, but the silver axis is still worth getting.”
“Owned for one year and two months, now promoted to adventure group main, one word: worth it!”
“Rubbing price is currently inflated, poor cost-performance, if you can, directly loan to get into the 【instance】.”
“Trash scroll painting, whoever buys regrets it!” Typical brainless hater comment.
It had to be said, the comment section was full of talent, making Wu Xian enjoy reading it.
Then he searched the other “mascot,” named 【Zombie Uncle】, silver scroll painting, also rated 5, the proud work of the War Heaven Club’s signature scroll painter.
The comments below were mixed, similar to those for 【Blood-Colored War Maniac】.
Wu Xian wasn’t surprised by this.
To each their own, as the saying goes—radish greens, each has its love; one person, one taste.
Just like game players in his previous life: some liked being warriors, some liked being mages, some liked disgusting others, each with their own preferences and battle styles.
Therefore, even the most excellent scroll paintings could hardly win over everyone’s liking.
“It’s a pity it’s still a ways off from creating a club.”
Who knows what kind of craze the painted spirits of Huaxia in the future could stir up in this world?
Hurry up and make money, strive to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible!
He arrived at the materials shop.
Boss Hu Deyou greeted as soon as he entered, “Have it, got it all!”
During procurement, he chatted idly with the boss. “North Street District is different, huh? Such a big disaster, yet not many damaged places?”
“Full of all sorts of monsters and demons everywhere, what damage could there be?” Hu Deyou teased.
Wu Xian nodded with a tsk. “By the way, how are housing prices here?”
“Little brother wants to buy a house in North Street District?” Hu Deyou was surprised and stunned.
“Very expensive?”
“It’s not about expensive or not, but whether you can buy one.” Hu Deyou shook his head. “Properties here are basically held by big families and scroll painters, all loaded folks who aren’t selling at all.
If you want to rent, brother can help you keep an eye out.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian felt helpless inside.
After procurement, he paid and left.
On the way home, he bumped into several university training teams taking commemorative photos, including the Xuantian Academy training team, with quite a few reporters interviewing nearby, leaving Wu Xian stunned.
Back home, he silently got to work.
The whole night, under the boost of 【laurel tree】, he went full throttle and completed all orders.
Early next morning, customers came one after another to pick up goods.
One hundred seventy house-guarding paintings, total 340000, after deducting costs, revenue 36380 spirit yuan.
From Blondie, he got five hundred thousand.
From the two little crybabies, total harvest 404 million—truly got rich overnight!
Looking at the nearly five million balance in his bank account, Wu Xian was filled with emotion, silently releasing the God of Wealth painted spirit and burning incense to worship.
Old Master was expected back in the afternoon.
So Wu Xian silently began cultivating the soul divine diagram.
His mind sank into the 【Ten Great Yin Commanders】 divine diagram, carefully feeling that profound law power. The comprehension process continuously consumed mental power, and his consciousness sank into a void, dim gray law world.
A series of complex and profound law auras flowed in this void.
Looking around, he could vaguely see dotted divine diagram projections, like a hundred boats vying for the current, climbing upward along different law networks.
And above the law void, pioneers already occupied high positions, siphoning and controlling the law fluctuations in the void.
Fortunately, 【Ten Great Yin Commanders】 had enough prestige, innately connected to quite a few law networks, starting at a good height.
“Comprehending law power, contending for law authority— so this is the true path of cultivation for scroll painters?”
Wu Xian couldn’t help but feel surging with emotion.
But after comprehending for a long time, he saw no growth or change in the law networks connected to 【Ten Great Yin Commanders】.
“Is my comprehension too low? Or is the method wrong?”
In doubt, he opened his eyes and took out his phone, wanting to ask Big Brother Tang Beng.
But on second thought, he logged into that niche forum full of big shots and posted a question: On how to improve the soul divine diagram?
In no time, he started receiving replies from the big shots.
“Are the big shots this idle?”
Wu Xian grumbled while checking the replies.
Old Zhou of Beihai: Couch is mine… Huh? Isn’t this that fake newbie from last time?
Arrogant and Unable to Withstand Me: What kind of stupid newbie question is this?
Four Generations Under One Roof: Has scroll painter education degraded to this level nowadays?
Savage Three Punches: Hey hey hey, which family’s student, come out and claim him.
Old Zhou of Beihai: OP serious?
