215: Red Spider Lily

Chapter 215: Manjusaka

Back at his villa, Wu Xian first studied the city bricks and tiles.

The more he studied, the more miraculous they seemed.

From a certain perspective, these ancient alien outpost Materials were like precious artifacts for studying the developmental history of scrolls.

They retained many of the thought processes of ancient Scroll Masters.

At the same time, these city bricks and tiles themselves contained more complex and precise spiritual structures and characteristics.

They could be understood as the crystallization of the wisdom of Senior Scroll Masters.

Using such Materials was like standing on the shoulders of Senior giants, gazing at higher and more distant peaks.

Perhaps the Seniors of the past did not go very far, but the traces they left after a lifetime of effort could always help later generations avoid many detours and save a lot of time.

After a moment of reflection, he calmed down and began the anthropomorphic design of Manjusaka.

Since it was going to be a completely original image, he naturally wanted to maximize its aesthetic appeal.

It was strange; during the conception of the anthropomorphic image of Manjusaka, his mind kept unconsciously conjuring Shifu-jie's "voice, appearance, and smile," an image that refused to fade.

After all, Shifu-jie had always embraced an underworld-style aesthetic and attire.

As the saying goes, humans can never imagine things and elements they have never seen.

Therefore, even though Wu Xian tried his best to cast aside Shifu-jie's "voice, appearance, and smile," as he drew, the image would still involuntarily bear some resemblance to Shifu-jie.

In the end, Wu Xian simply gave up the struggle.

Shifu-jie it is, after all, Shifu-jie is quite attractive.

After the final draft was approved, he began the official drawing.

For the background conception and setting, he directly applied the legends and settings of Manjusaka, then set the painting spirit as the Incarnation of Manjusaka.

The overall style adopted a black and white underworld aesthetic, supplemented by some blood-red to highlight Manjusaka's characteristics, and incidentally add some horror atmosphere.

Finally, a black-haired woman with long straight hair, draped in a black veil, with pale skin, and holding a Manjusaka flower, appeared on the drawing paper, and gradually condensed in his Sea of Consciousness, becoming a copyright imprint.

"It actually worked?"

Wu Xian smiled in surprise. The entire process wasn't difficult, after all, Manjusaka itself didn't have any specific official position in the Netherworld.

[Manjusaka]

Type: original (Gold-embroidered border)

Tier: silver scroll

painting spirit: ★★★

Spirituality: 52

Innate Traits: Soul Summoning and Guiding, Flowers Bloom on the Other Shore

Although it didn't have Godhood or an official position in the Netherworld, it still possessed inherent strength and prestige.

Dealing with ordinary plant-type scrolls was not difficult at all.

With a slight movement of his mind, he summoned Manjusaka. The more he looked, the more alike it seemed, and it felt strange.

"Why not just name her Xue Ling'er?"

A wicked thought spontaneously arose in Wu Xian's mind.

But then again, this Manjusaka he randomly created seemed to be quite beneficial for Undead System scrolls, and also provided some improvement for comprehending Laws related to life and death.

It just goes to show that relying on brilliant cultural heritage, the things produced are simply different.

Any scroll he casually made was better than the results of other Scroll Masters' lifelong contemplation.

Subsequently, he reopened Great Master Liu Feng's research notes and began to search for theoretical basis for the special existence of the City God Temple... on the Underworld Club's official website.

Shifu-jie also announced a change in sales method yesterday.

With Wu Xian having laid the groundwork, the public had already accepted this method, so there was naturally no opposition, but rather quite a few voices of anticipation and approval.

Fans of the Ghost King Series immediately went into full celebration mode.

At least they wouldn't have to worry about the Netherworld Soldiers anymore.

In contrast, on Wu Xian's column, with the rising popularity brought by Xue Zhengying, the excitement for the gacha System was growing day by day.

Indeed, the "returning customers" from the Gold Tier League debut last time had already gotten hooked.

Especially those lucky netizens from other regions who had come before, they were now completely immersed in gacha, unable to extricate themselves.

It wasn't that gacha was so addictive; it was mainly because Yin General Scrolls were too useful.

Having experienced the dominance of Yin General Scrolls in the Mysterious Abyss, these Spirit Masters from other regions could never go back.

Those expensive Undead System scrolls from before immediately lost their appeal; they felt like they weren't even a single hair of a Yin General Scroll.

They even began to congratulate themselves for having discovered this Treasure Trove of scroll series early on.

"Hello, Seniors, may I humbly ask, do I have to collect five Bronze scroll portraits, or directly pull it within the fifty-pull guaranteed draw, to get the silver scroll Fish Gill General?"

"Oh? Isn't this that lucky guy from last time?"

"Haha, I knew you'd be back. How is it? Our Fish Gill General didn't disappoint you, did he?"

"Holy moly, you even changed your name to [Fish Gill General is the Best in the World]? You're quite savvy, young man!"

[Fish Gill General is the Best in the World]: "The combat power and performance of Fish Gill General are indeed beyond reproach. I've never seen such a cheap and effective Undead System scroll."

As soon as this was said, many netizens from other regions responded.

"Indeed, the Black and White Impermanence I drew last time are also very useful. I've never had such a blast in a Mysterious Abyss copy!"

"I thought I was the only one who felt this way? So, are we all netizens who, after experiencing it, can no longer look at other Undead System scrolls?"

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. As long as you like Yin General Scrolls, we're all family from now on."

"Welcome to the big family of the Underworld Club! Repeat after me: Yin General Celestial Worthy is the Best in the World!"

[Fish Gill General is the Best in the World]: "It's just that I've already done three fifty-pull guaranteed draws, and I still haven't gotten the silver scroll Fish Gill General. What should I do? I really want the silver scroll Fish Gill General."

"Aren't the other Yin Generals also quite powerful?"

"But I just want the silver scroll Fish Gill General. I can't train too many scrolls, and I have a feeling that I seem to be developing a Soul resonance with Fish Gill General."

"Is that so? It seems Great Master Wu wasn't lying; this gacha System really does have some metaphysical operations involved."

"Honestly, this gacha System is truly disgusting. The money I saved from my luck last time has all been returned now, boo hoo hoo."

"It's okay~ Don't cry, we're all in the same boat."

"This is called the Law of conservation of luck. You can't always win the lottery, can you?"

"Lucky guy, you can try waiting in the trading area. Maybe you can find the other four Bronze scroll portraits. Other Yin General and Netherworld Soldiers fragments can also be sold to recover some funds, and you might even make a small profit."

[Fish Gill General is the Best in the World]: "Really? I'll go take a look."

"Damn it, Great Master Wu is definitely a business Genius! How could he come up with such an irresistible money-grabbing method!"

"There's something I don't know if I should say, but honestly, I feel like Great Master Wu deserves to die right now."

"Same feeling +1"

"Yes, yes, yes. Although Great Master Wu is great, one thing at a time, this broken gacha System really deserves to die."

"I'm willing to bestow upon him the honorable title: Wu Dog!"

"We can curse all we want, but there's nothing we can do, because we like it."

"Indeed, for now, as long as you don't touch the gold scroll gacha pool and don't aim to complete the entire collection, it's still quite affordable."

"gold scrolls, well, they're not something small fries like us can even consider."

"What if you get it in one go? Are you sure you don't want to try?"

"Damn it, can you stop tempting people?"

"Oh no, oh no, there's another gold scroll lucky guy in the showcase area! Boo hoo hoo, I'm so jealous!"

"What the heck?"

"No, I can't take it anymore! Why can't the next lucky gold scroll guy be me?"

"Nonsense! The next lucky guy will definitely be me!"
