373: Collector Ma Tengyun

Chapter 373: The Collector - Ma Tengyun

Early the next morning.

Shifu-jie had been to Mechanical City before, so she wasn't interested in it. She focused entirely on researching her scroll, and with the help of Spirit Gathering Pills, she Cultivated diligently.

Tang Beng also devoted himself to researching his mechanical scroll.

Wu Xian stepped on his Flying Sword and left the Tang Family's mechanical palace, wandering around Mechanical City for a long time.

Finally, at the appointed time, he arrived at a private Club.

Outside the Club, the unique emblem of the Wanrong Chamber of Commerce was still hanging.

After showing the gold scroll Boss Hu gave him and explaining his purpose, the young man responsible for guiding him was extremely deferential, "Is this Master Wu? The Young Lord has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Please follow me."

Led by the young man, he entered the Club and took a futuristic-looking dedicated elevator to the top floor.

Along the luxurious corridor, a line of beautiful women on the left and handsome men on the right welcomed him.

Upon reaching the door, the young man respectfully stopped, "The Young Lord is inside. Please enter."

As soon as Wu Xian stepped through the door, he saw a handsome young man in his early twenties quickly walk towards him, "Master Wu, I've finally waited for you. Please take a seat.

This Club is our family's property. If you have any preferences or needs, you can tell me, and I will arrange it for you."

The sudden enthusiasm made Wu Xian a bit awkward and reserved. He roughly surveyed the luxurious decor and furnishings of the room; various parts of Advanced otherworldly monsters had become display items and decorations here.

"Young Master, you are too kind," Wu Xian said politely.

"What Young Master? Just call me Xiao Ma," Ma Tengyun was undoubtedly a veteran in social circles. "Although I have no scroll talent, I deeply respect excellent scroll masters like you. If you ever have any needs in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me."

Wu Xian chuckled and nodded, his gaze falling on an exquisite iron box? Or an iron cabinet next to Ma Tengyun.

It looked like some kind of mechanical creation, with beautiful and unique patterns on its surface, and spatial fluctuations seemed to emanate from it, like a special storage Magic Treasure.

Compared to the orderly furnishings in the room, this iron box seemed a bit out of place.

"This is...?"

Ma Tengyun smiled faintly and introduced it with great seriousness: "This is my most beloved treasure. I call it the [Divine Cabinet]."

"Divine Cabinet?!"

Wu Xian was startled, but his expression remained calm.

If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, there was something called the [Ark of the Covenant] among the Christians.

Could it be some powerful Magic Treasure scroll?

"That's right, Master Wu can also see it as a mobile scroll museum," Ma Tengyun said with a hint of pride in his words. "I don't have many hobbies in this life; I just love collecting all kinds of scrolls.

For this, I specially commissioned someone to build this Divine Cabinet. Now, the collection within the Divine Cabinet can be considered to have achieved Minor Achievement."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. The Divine Cabinet beside him transformed like a Transformer, unfolding layers of curved bookshelves filled with various extraordinary scrolls, and they were all gold scrolls.

In the very center of the front row of bookshelves was a special display case, holding jade-axis scrolls on display stands.

"This...?!"

Even though Wu Xian was somewhat mentally prepared for the financial power of this super rich second-generation, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

This [Divine Cabinet] before him was undoubtedly the most impressive display of wealth in the context of the scroll world.

"Do my collections look decent?" Ma Tengyun asked with a smile, "I heard Master Wu also has some powerful scrolls. I wonder if I could have the honor of expanding my collection?"

Wu Xian's expression was strange, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Then he humbly said, "My scrolls probably won't catch your Dharma Eye, Brother Ma."

"Hey~ For collecting, who cares about strength or weakness?" Ma Tengyun said indifferently, "It's also great to expand the collection categories."

"To be honest, some of my high-quality gold scrolls are quite expensive," Wu Xian said with a flicker in his eyes. "And currently, the release method is mainly gacha. If Brother Ma is interested, you can take a look at our Club's official website."

"Gacha?" Ma Tengyun's expression was strange.

Then he pulled out a Heaven-Defying high-end phone and projected a series of blue light screens in front of him.

After some investigation and study, Ma Tengyun was astonished, "What a brilliant method! I didn't expect Master Wu to be a business genius? To be able to come up with such a unique release method."

"It's alright, it's alright," Wu Xian smiled humbly, "It mainly depends on fate. If you can draw it, it's fate."

"But let's forget about gacha," Ma Tengyun said with a smile, "My Divine Cabinet only collects [original] scrolls, not authorized copies. Master Wu can name a price; I can package them all. Money, resources, materials, none of that is a problem."

Wu Xian was once again shocked by the super rich second-generation in front of him.

He had seen people buying gold scrolls, but he had never seen someone openly asking to package them all.

And [copies] were not good enough; they had to be the [original] complete versions.

As long as the price was right, Wu Xian was very willing to make this deal.

"Brother Ma might not be aware, but my scroll system is complex, so the quantity is quite large," Wu Xian reminded him.

"No problem," Ma Tengyun said indifferently, "It's best if they can directly fill my Divine Cabinet."

"..." Wu Xian was speechless.

Alright, his perspective was too narrow.

"By the way, with so many gold scrolls, does Brother Ma use them all in daily life?" Wu Xian asked curiously, "Wouldn't it be troublesome to find them when you need to use them?"

Liking to collect scrolls was understandable, but with so many scrolls mixed together, it would probably be inconvenient to use them.

Ma Tengyun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my Divine Cabinet has gathered the craftsmanship and talent of various Great Masters. Whichever scroll I need, with just a thought, the corresponding scroll will be automatically summoned."

As he spoke, with a slight movement of his mind, a gold scroll behind him transformed into a stream of light and flew out, summoning and materializing beside Ma Tengyun as a female angel with sacred wings, golden hair, and blue eyes.

A six-star gold scroll, and it was the iconic Angel scroll of the Shendu Dojo.

"So that's how it is."

Wu Xian suddenly understood. It turned out to be an intelligent storage device, directly connected to Ma Tengyun's Mental Energy and spiritual power.

"But with so many scrolls, can Brother Ma Cultivate them all?" Wu Xian pressed on.

"That's why I rely on Master Wu's [Spirit Feeding Pill]," Ma Tengyun seamlessly transitioned to the main topic. "The moment I learned about the Spirit Feeding Pill's efficacy, I knew that a major problem that had been bothering me was solved.

This is also the fundamental reason why I specifically wanted to meet Master Wu.

At first, I considered having my subordinates help me Cultivate, but there were always some annoying small problems, such as accidentally forming a Soul resonance with a subordinate. In the end, I still had to do it myself.

Some commonly used scrolls are fine; I can raise their Cultivation Rank in daily life. The key is those scrolls that are kept at the bottom of the box and gather dust; I simply don't have that much time and energy."

Wu Xian was speechless, "The Spirit Feeding Pill is indeed very suitable for your scroll museum, Brother Ma."

"If I'm not mistaken, as the Spirit Feeding Pill's Rank increases in the future, the Rank it can raise will also be higher, right?" Ma Tengyun asked eagerly.

"Of course."
