Chapter 15: copy Creation and the Experts' Forum

After ending the call, Wu Xian took out a bottle of Spirit Gathering Elixir and consumed it.

“Hiss~ What kind of life was I living before?”

Feeling the surging medicinal power within his Physique, Wu Xian was filled with emotion and immediately began absorbing spiritual energy to Cultivate.

Under the elixir's amplification, the Meridians in his Physique circulated as if on an overclocked accelerator. Crucially, there was no discomfort or side effects, and his Cultivation speed more than doubled.

Unfortunately, the effect of one elixir only lasted a little over an hour.

A box contained six bottles, priced at three thousand each.

Children from ordinary families simply couldn't afford it.

“I still need to earn a lot of money.”

He heard that children from wealthy families had various ways to accelerate Cultivation and enhance their Physique. Once he had more financial leeway, he would make up for everything he lacked.

Then, he consumed another elixir.

After six full hours of Cultivation, his cultivation improved significantly, and his body felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment.

“It's really good to have money.”

No wonder so many people spent money in games.

With a slight thought, the God of Wealth slowly appeared. He first bowed to the God of Wealth, a daily ritual to form a good habit.

Only after bowing did he sleep peacefully.

The next morning, he felt completely refreshed.

After breakfast, his grandfather dragged him to physical training, which exhausted Wu Xian.

Returning to his small room after training, he effortlessly created the Home Guardian Divine Tiger. It was a natural process, without any difficulty.

Home Guardian Divine Tiger

Type: original (Gold embroidered border)

Rank: bronze scroll

painting spirit: ★ ☆

Spirituality: 26

Innate Attributes: Wards off evil, dispels disaster, bestows blessings

Perhaps due to deviations in the quality of the Materials, or the quality of the pigments, the Divine Tiger's spirituality was slightly lower than that of the Chicken King.

In any case, it was just the initial version. He could reconstruct and upgrade it later when conditions allowed.

“There are still some Materials left. Should I make one for Grandpa too?”

Tiger-type monsters are larger, so there were more leftover Materials. Keeping them would be a waste; it would be better to give his grandfather a scroll for self-protection.

He immediately took out his phone and searched online for relevant information.

“So that's how it is.”

copy creation refers to making a replica based on the scroll imprint in the Sea of Consciousness, essentially redrawing it. It possesses 90% of the original's performance and can increase the painting spirit's Rank, but cannot be reconstructed to improve its quality.

There is a certain failure rate depending on the Scroll Master's skill level.

For a Facsimile, there's no need for imitation. One simply gathers the corresponding pigments and painting paper, then uses the scroll imprint from the Sea of Consciousness with the pigments to directly imprint it onto the paper. It possesses about 80% of the original's performance and cannot improve the painting spirit's Rank or quality.

The failure rate is extremely low, but not entirely absent, primarily influenced by the quality of the pigments.

As the original “copyright holder” of the Home Guardian Divine Tiger, Wu Xian could create a “Genuine” scroll with 100% performance using the copy creation method, and it would possess the “Authorization” attribute.

The holder can use it to replace the “scroll Imprint” and imitate to create Copies.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must understand the concept and design of this scroll, and possess the skill and ability to imitate and create it.

If Wu Xian chose “no authorization” during the imitation process, the final product would become a copy.

Since it was for his grandfather, Wu Xian naturally wouldn't be stingy and directly arranged for a “Genuine” scroll with 100% performance.

However, his first attempt at imitation ruined a good quality painting paper.

“...”

There's a saying: even the same artist finds it difficult to paint two identical artworks.

Even if you resurrected Da Vinci, he might not be able to paint a second Mona Lisa.

This is art!

Art is not reproducible.

The key lies in the scroll imprint within the Sea of Consciousness, which perfectly preserves the thoughts, state, mindset, feelings, and all other related factors from the time of creation in one's mind, giving you the possibility to perfectly reproduce a second piece of “art.”

His consciousness sank into the scroll imprint of the Home Guardian Divine Tiger, carefully feeling and adjusting.

This time, the “Genuine” Home Guardian Divine Tiger was perfectly replicated.

He handed the Genuine scroll to his grandfather, who was both surprised and doubtful, initially declining.

After learning it was a replicated “Genuine” scroll, he happily accepted, “Is this the tiger on the door? Is it useful?”

“It's alright,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “Please make do with this for now. When conditions allow in the future, I'll get you an even more powerful scroll.”

From the moment his grandfather recovered his spiritual energy Cultivation, Wu Xian already had a “candidate” in mind.

With a God of Longevity accompanying his grandfather then, it would definitely allow his grandfather to live a few more years.

However, with his current conditions, he definitely couldn't gather the spiritual pigments required for an expert like the God of Longevity.

The only feasible method was to create it using the Ancient Scroll method.

But he had also tried creating a second Ancient Scroll these past few days, including the Chicken King and the Divine Tiger, but there were no signs of feasibility.

So now he was increasingly suspicious that the Ancient Scroll only offered one chance in a lifetime.

To verify this conjecture, Wu Xian specifically found the previous technical forum, registered, logged in, and posted a thread titled “Is the Ancient Scroll a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

He had hoped to try his luck, perhaps an expert would reply.

Who would have thought that within moments, he received several replies in the backend.

Old Zhou of Beihai: “The sofa is mine, gentlemen, do as you please.”

Four Generations Under One Roof: “Otherwise? Do you still want to possess two Ancient Scrolls?”

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: “It's not easy to even possess one Ancient Scroll, and you want two?”

Old Zhou of Beihai: “Newcomer? You don't know this?”

Old Zhou of Beihai: “Alright, it really is a newly registered user.”

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: “Don't be silly~ Where would our little broken forum get a newcomer? It's probably an old geezer's alt account.”

Man Sanquan: “Interesting~ Let this old man guess who it is? If I guess correctly, the OP will treat us!”

Wu Xian was surprised. Was it really only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

The important thing was that this forum was full of technical experts, which was undoubtedly a veritable Treasure Trove forum for him.

After calming down, he replied in the thread: “Why is there only one chance? What is the principle?”

Four Generations Under One Roof: “...Are you really ignorant or just pretending?”

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: “Oh~ Getting addicted to pretending now?”

Four Generations Under One Roof: “The Bloodline Dao Axis is bound to one's Soul, their destinies are linked and cannot be changed, so naturally there can only be one chance.”

Man Sanquan: “@Four Generations Under One Roof, Old Wang, you actually believed him?”

Man Sanquan: “Alright, Old Yang, I know it's you. Are you bored out of your mind lately?”

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: “Old Yang? It sounds like something Old Yang would do, and Old Yang isn't online today.”

After getting the information he wanted, Wu Xian decisively went offline.

Since the experts all thought he was an “alt account,” he might as well continue the charade, which would save him a lot of trouble.

“Soul bound, destinies linked.”

Wu Xian suddenly realized. Thinking about it carefully, the God of Wealth was indeed quite different from other scrolls.

For example, its innate attributes of attracting wealth and treasures, spiritual Qi protection, and the characteristics of the [Gold Ingot] were all closely related to him, the holder.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a well-known elder was grumbling at his phone.

“He went offline?”

“No way, Old Yang has to treat us to this meal, no matter what.”

With that, he hummed and dialed a number, “Old Yang, don't renege on your promise! Everyone saw it.”

“?!” The other end of the phone was confused, “Renege? Renege on what?”

“Still pretending?”

“Go away, go away. I just found a precious ancient text, and I'm busy.” The voice on the other end carried a hint of excitement, “I have a premonition that this time, the Dao Axis will definitely form a scroll! You guys just wait to be envious, hahaha!”

“Ancient text, what ancient text?” The elder was both surprised and delighted, “No, wait, was that person called [Good Fortune] on the forum just now really not you?”

“What Good Fortune? Go away, go away, stop bothering me.”

“Hey~ What ancient text were you just talking about... He actually hung up on me? No, I have to go there myself. Good things should be shared by everyone.”
