Chapter 145: When Prestige Isn't Enough, Bonds Make Up for It

Currently, these scrolls are having a back-and-forth battle with the Ghost King Club in the league.

It's only in the weekly battlefield matches that there's still a gap with the Ghost King Club.

There's no other way; the multiple bonds of the Ten Yama Generals are simply too powerful.

Bai Shiqi's different types of scrolls can only gain an advantage in individual point matches.

Wu Xian has also been researching the “scroll Linkage” effect recently.

And with the popularity of the Ten Yama Generals, he proposed the concept of “bonds.”

Don't even mention it~ the general public's acceptance of this concept is quite high.

Under the influence of the multiple bonds of the Ten Yama Generals, a special team-forming trend and culture, or one could say a fad, has emerged.

“Quite interesting.”

Inside the villa in the North District, Wu Xian carefully observed the operating principle of the bond effect at the Law level of the divine scroll.

Initially, Wu Xian thought that only Underworld functions and different departments could produce bond effects.

For example, among the Ten Yama Generals, the three major departmental bonds are:

【Yin Ghost Envoys】Ghost King, Day Wandering God, Night Wanderer

【Soul Detainers】Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence

【Demon Underworld Envoys】Leopard Tail, Bird Beak, Fish Gills, Wasp

But after researching it now, it doesn't seem that simple.

Other conceptual factors can also become bond effects between scrolls.

For example: different versions of background stories for the same mythical figure also seem to be able to integrate into the original single-version background concept in the form of the power of bonds.

This discovery made Wu Xian ecstatic.

One must know that the Chinese mythology system is a muddled mess, and debates often erupt online because of it.

And with the effect of “bonds” in the scroll World, Wu Xian can perfectly integrate different versions of mythical stories directly into the same batch of mythical scroll concepts.

Take his Destiny scroll, the God of Wealth, for example; there are several versions of the “Five Gods of Wealth” alone.

Many places even have the saying of “nine gods” of wealth, as well as distinctions between minor gods of wealth and major gods of wealth; in short, it's very chaotic.

But the emergence of “bond concepts” allows him to perfectly integrate these versions and sayings, thereby further perfecting the Law Veins of the God of Wealth and enhancing the prestige and combat power of his Destiny God of Wealth.

By then, a large number of bonds will be applied to the God of Wealth, directly turning the God of Wealth into a “three-star, five-cost” character, dominating the entire field.

Let's not talk about other bonds for now; let's first gather the Five Gods of Wealth bonds from the “Investiture of the Gods” in the current divine scroll.

The “Investiture of the Gods” system alone has a bunch of bonds waiting for the God of Wealth.

Such as the Jie Sect master-disciple bond and the brother-sister bond with the Three Xiao Fairy.

Subsequently, a bunch of various versions of God of Wealth bonds, Daoist mythology system bonds, Heavenly Court departmental prepared by bonds, Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, Joy, and Wealth bonds, etc., will all be arranged.

In one sentence: When prestige isn't enough, bonds make up for it!

Who told him he only had this one Destiny scroll?

Coincidentally, Brother Mo recently got him a lot of good Materials, so he might as well create his four disciples and subordinates—Zhao Bao, Na Zhen, Zhao Cai, and Li Shi—in one go.

Even if he can only make bronze scroll or even wooden scroll, it doesn't matter; the important thing is to gather bonds for the God of Wealth.

“Still feels like something is missing. I'll go to the Association.”

After organizing his thoughts, he decided to go to the Association to replenish and scout for Materials, or to look for suitable Materials for the four little gods of wealth in the original copy of other Dojos.

“It would be great if I had a chance to visit the Association's treasured vault again.”

While contemplating, Wu Xian slapped his forehead.

Holding a special pass, he already had the authority and qualification to enter the vault. Couldn't he just pay for it?

So many good things piled up in the vault were just gathering dust; it would be better if he benefited from them.

The Association couldn't possibly turn down money, could it?

Soon after, the Association's material supply department welcomed a generous big shot.

Although Wu Xian, with his special pass, was not an official member of the Association, he could enjoy the discounted treatment only available to official members, and it was even the discounted treatment of an Association departmental Elder.

In short, purchasing Materials at the Association is quite cost-effective now.

“Uh, this, this, this... and that too, pack them all up for me,” Wu Xian ordered while complaining, “I feel like the Association's stock isn't very complete lately~!”

“Cough, cough,” the staff member secretly sighed, “High-level Materials are sold as they come. Although the dimensional control zone has expanded recently, and the output of high-level Materials has greatly increased, it can't withstand you guys buying so much.”

“You guys?” Wu Xian was stunned: “Are there other big customers recently?”

The staff member was noncommittal, “Great Master Xue Lingling, and that Young Master Bai from Dengfeng Dojo, just swept through it yesterday.”

“Uh, alright.”

Wu Xian smiled wryly. Ultimately, it was the Association's “production” that was lacking.

Such a large Association, with so many people under its command, couldn't even supply three Scroll Masters.

Then, with a hand-off of money and goods, he headed straight for the Association's vault.

Surely no one can compete with me here, right?

Facts proved that he was overthinking.

As soon as he arrived at the vault, he saw Xu Lu with Tattoo Bro, accompanied by two Association departmental Elders in their fifties or sixties.

“Brother Wu, why are you here too?” Tattoo Bro had completely changed now.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Dressed in the Association uniform, plus the boost of his identity and status, his entire demeanor was different.

“Tattoo Bro also came to buy Materials recently?” Wu Xian familiarized himself and stepped forward, “Are your tattoo inks starting to use such high-end Materials?”

“I can come here once a month to purchase one material at a low price, so I came with Sister Xu,” Tattoo Bro explained.

“Do I have this benefit?” Wu Xian couldn't help but look at the Elder in charge of the vault.

“...” The Vault Elder shook his head and smiled: “This is a local Association benefit for internal personnel, funded by the local Association's treasury. Special passes do not include it.”

Wu Xian secretly felt regret. After entering the vault with the others, he saw Xu Lu carefully selecting items and couldn't help but wonder, “Speaking of which, what type of scroll do you research, Sister Xu Lu? I've never seen you display it.”

“Character scrolls, a scroll concept specifically designed to counter Evil Gods,” Xu Lu smiled charmingly: “What, Little Wu, are you interested?”

“A scroll concept specifically designed to counter Evil Gods?” Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

As Xu Lu chuckled, a gold scroll painting spirit with an immortal aura appeared beside her. Its robe was somewhat similar to a Daoist robe but more like a magical robe worn by cultivators.

Overall, it really did have a cultivator's feel.

He just couldn't understand what special advantage this type of cultivator-like existence had against an Evil God Scroll Master.

Was it simply to eliminate demons and defend the Dao? Or was the Cultivation Technique relatively special?

“My gold scroll is called the Evil-Suppressing Guardian. Its innate characteristic, the ‘Supreme Pure Heart Art,’ can effectively counter the influence of Evil Gods, and some of its attack abilities can also produce excellent effects against evil scrolls,” Xu Lu introduced with confidence: “Otherwise, why do you think I, your sister, could become the head of the Temporary Evil Extermination Command Post?”

Wu Xian nodded in admiration. It was indeed a characteristic related to Cultivation Technique.

He just didn't know the specific path of this so-called Evil-Suppressing Guardian in Xu Lu's concept.

“Senior, how much are these lord-level Materials?”

Wu Xian, who had found the Materials he wanted, turned to ask the Vault Elder for the price.

Seeing this, Xu Lu couldn't help but be curious: “These rare precious metals and gemstones don't seem to match your style, do they? As far as I know, only Mechanical scrolls and some high-end Tool Scrolls require these types of Materials.”

Wu Xian feigned mystery and looked eagerly at the Vault Elder, “If that's the case, then can the price be relatively cheaper?”
