Chapter 289: Painting Through a Savage Beast [3in1] (2/2)
”Time to try out the abilities of a poisonXuan thought
As for why he dared tothat he would use a savage beast to create his painting, it wasn't because he was arrogant, but rather because he had aces up his sleeves
Even if a savage beast is tahts of its owner If one desires to create a painting that surpasses the second level, he cannot place his hopes on so beyond his control One has to have absolute control over the painting process
As a 2-star beast tamer, it would have been ie beast precisely However, after the trip to the Poison Hall, the situation had changed
After ten days of studying in the Poison Hall, not only did Zhang Xuan e to cultivate the Poison Body, his mastery of poison had also reached the level of a 2-star poison ained an additional use for the Heaven's Path zhenqi He is now able to convert it into tonic with a single thought and transform it into deadly poison with another
The Heaven's Path zhenqi happened to be the ideal tool that allows hi just his e of Heaven's Path zhenqi into the e beast that was in his embrace Then, with a simple will, he distributed it into the various acupoints all over its body immediately
”Time to start!”
Now that the preparations were in place, he had the savage beast roll around in the ink before casually throwing it onto the large piece of xuan paper
”Is he really having the savage beast draw for hi he can create!”
”I've seen this savage beast and it does not possess any intelligence What kind of painting can it possibly draw?”
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn't joking and that he had soaked the savage beast in ink and had it step onto the xuan paper, the crowd burst into an uproar
To have a savage beast paint
And win against an official painter?
Brother, are you daydrea a prank?
”Preposterous!”
Vice Guild Leader Cheng's face steeled
Painting is a respectable and refined occupation; to actually call a savage beast splashi+ng ink around as painting is clearly an act of provocation
He had decided to chase this fellow out the moment the competition ended
He couldn't allow the art of painting to be insulted like that
Feeling displeased within, he was glaring at Zhang Xuan in fury when Vice Guild Leader Wu’s words rang beside his ear
”So?” He turned around to look at his old friend, only to see hi in bewilder turned his head over as well, and with a single glance, he became stupefied
”How How is this possible?”
The savage beast on the xuan paper hesitated for abehind one plum flower after another in its wake
There wasn't a specific pattern to those pluht line and see by a fore beast, as splashed with ink all over, run away the moment it was released? Why would it walk on the paper sloithout the slightest repetition in its footsteps?
”It's a type of beast ta technique!”
Vice Guild Leader Wu's voice sounded in his ears
”That's right!”
Hearing his old friend's words, Cheng Feng cae beast not escape or run about, it walked in a straight line on the paper This showed that it was listening to soe beast to obey his commands i technique!
Can it be that this extre fellow is a beast tamer?
”However, so what if he has the ability to tae beast? NoNaturally, it is impossible for it to reach the level of Reality Depiction and, not towas surprised but he shook his head nevertheless
Even though Reality Depiction was , countless apprentices and painting fanatics had to be locked out froates for several years, and sometimes, even several decades before it could be achieved
So what if that youngster can controlto beast tae beasts, it is impossible for the It is just like controlling a puppet, it is impossible to instill spirit into the work!
”You're right!” Vice Guild Leader nodded in agreement
He was also curious what the felloas up to
Padah!
Just as they were pondering what kind of painting the youngster would show the on the xuan paper, fell down abruptly and the ink on its body blotted an area of the paper black
”See”
Initially, the plue beast created with its footstep looked satisfactory, appearing to be a proper piece of painting Even though Cheng Feng didn't think that the youngster could achieve e beast, it was nonetheless a novelty However, with the fall, the entire painting was ruined i had been turned into scrap
”Indeed, how is it possible that a savage beast can create a painting?” Cheng Feng harrureed
Shaking their heads, they chose to ignore this attention-seeking fellow and turned to Ji Mo gongzi instead
As expected of a genius Even though he was infuriated just a o, he hadn’t allowed those e With swift brushstrokes, the outline of the painting was already in sight
It was a peony that stood proudly amidst a cluster of flowers It carried a powerful disposition whichaof Flowers is the peony, and his painting has brought out the refined and prideful nature of the peony that causes surrounding floras to bow in deference His painting will probably attain the third level, Infused Intentions, the 's eyes lit up
”That's right Ji Mo is indeed a proht have a legendary figure euild!”
Vice Guild Master Wu nodded in agreement
As 2-star painters, they ell-versed in paintings Although Ji Mo gongzi's work had yet to be co or two just fro was clearly of a rade than that of the Breeze By the Mountain and Streaher level as well As long as there weren’t any large deviations, it would surely reach the level of Infused Intentions
Even if it were the most basic standard under Infused Intentions, to be able to create a painting of the third level despite having just becozi was indeed talented
”Look, Ji Mo gongzi's painting is about to be done”
”What a beautiful peony, I like this painting!”
”This is too beautiful”
The two vice guild leaders were still conversing when Ji Mo gongzi had already begun the final touches on his painting His brush flew about the xuan paper, and an alluring peony appeared before everyone's eyes
Hu!
Then, with a light jerk of his hands, the last stroke was co was completed, a sweet scent of flowers struck everyone's nose, as if they had stepped into a garden of flowers A single peony stood out proudly frole other surrounding flora
”This is a painting of the third level!”
”It has reached the level of Infused Intentions, incredible!”
”I've already said so, how can Ji Mo gongzi possibly lose”
Most of the people present were either here to purchase paintings or were a fan of Ji Mo, and naturally, would have soht not have been able to esti on it, but the effects that occurred upon conize it immediately
Even a 1-star painter would be incapable of producing a painting of the level of Infused Intentions every single ti created in a public setting and, furthermore, in a co!”
Throwing his brush aside, Ji Mo gongzi looked at his completed work and nodded in satisfaction
The best way to win a lady’s fancy was to paint flowers The peony was the king of the flowers, so he spent a huge effort to practice it He ht not be able to ensure that any other of his works would be able to reach the third level, but he had practiced painting this for more than a thousand times If he were to paint it, nine out of ten ti of Infused Intentions
Clearly, it didn't disappoint hi reached the level he desired
Even so forof the third level To have produced a painting of this level so easily despite just becooal ofa name for himself had already been accoantly just now, let's see what you are capable of painting”
Harru coldly, Mo Ji put down his artwork and turned toward Zhang Xuan
At this e beast finally jue beast was soaked with excessive ink, the painting, froe beast ied heavily Even until now, the ink had yet to dry and the entire piece was glistening with ink water
Especially for the patch which was created due to the fall earlier, because of the savage beast’s tough fur, a chaoticyou spoke of? Haha! How hilarious!”
Ji Mo gongzi nearly laughed his lower jaw off
He thought that since the other party acted so high and hty just now, he would really be able to create soe beast Yet, to think that this was all he was capable of
Do you call this a painting?
Even rando of ink onto a paper would be ? To dare to cohable!”
”If you call this a painting, won’t I be considered a painter as well?”
”Ignorant fellow, let's see how you ehter, the crowd turned their gazes to Zhang Xuan, and a scornful expression appeared on their faces
Can the rando?
What a joke!
”Are you done with your painting?”
Lifting his hand to interrupt the crowd's discussion, Vice Guild Leader Wu turned to look at Zhang Xuan
”Un, I' Xuan heaved a sigh of relief
If someone were to pay careful attention, the person would notice that his body was tre and that his face had becoh books on poison in the Poison Hall, Zhang Xuan had gained the ability to convert the Heaven's Path zhenqi into tonic or poison with a single thought
He had been secretly controlling the savage beast using the zhenqi he left inside its body, h it had only been ten minutes or so, it was sufficient to wear out his spirit, sending him into a state of weakness
”See Xuan la a deep breath, he started to pump his zhenqi to rejuvenate his body
He had been converting the zhenqi he deposited in the savage beast into either poison or tonic to stie beast to act the way he intended Even though it sounded sih require Xuan's Soul Depth exceeding 50, it would have been an ie beast was of an extre it easy toXuan's current cultivation, it would have been an impossible task to manipulate them
”Almost done?”
Disappointment surfaced on Vice Guild Leader Wu's face
He ondering what forster could create, but to think that this would just be it
”Alright, since Ji Mo's painting is cohly done, let's just announce the results right away!”
Vice Guild Leader Cheng Feng said
”Alright!”
Vice Guild Leader Wu nodded Pointing to Ji Mo gongzi's work, he appraised, ”Painter Ji's peony creates ripples in the surrounding spiritual energy and it has a deep artistic conception Undoubtedly, it has reached the third level of painting, Infused Intentions”
After which, he turned to Zhang Xuan's work and said, ”As for this painting, I a Inat all”
After hesitating for a moment, Vice Guild Leader Wu continued, ”Thus, my verdict is that it is Painter Ji's victory!”
”I share the same opinion as Vice Guild Leader Wu!”
Vice Guild Leader Cheng Feng nodded in agree the results fro Xuan and sneered, ”Since the results are out, are you going to kneel down and then scras before throwing you out of the Painter Guild?”
Before the competition, they had decided to have the loser kneel down and apologize to the other party before leaving the Painter Guild, never to return
Now that Zhang Xuan had lost, how could he simply allow thisthe savage expression on Ji Mo's face as he pressurized Zhang Xuan, the two vice guild leaders glanced at each another Initially, they had intended to mediate between the two, but eventually, they simply shook their heads and chose to stay out of this n lad had shown blatant disrespect for painting by having a savage beast paint in his stead, and the both of theht a lesson Otherwise, wouldn't it signify there are no consequences for desecrating the Painter Guild?
”Ah? You'vefor a th Upon hearing Ji Mo gongzi's gleeful words, he lifted his head
”Why? Do you refuse to acknowledge the verdict by the two vice guild leaders?”
Ji Mo harruuild leaders are 2-star painters and I believe in their eye for painting Just that I had only mentioned that my as almost done, I have never said that it was done”
Zhang Xuan shook his head
”Are you clai that your work is incomplete? What do you want to do then? Do you intend to lift your brush and continue painting?”
Ji Mo gongzi was taken aback
”Since I said that this is a savage beast painting, naturally, I won't useone final step”
Zhang Xuan smiled
”One final step?”
The entire croas startled
The painting that you created through the savage beast is such rubbish, do you think that adding some final touches will make any difference?
Under the situation that you aren't going to use the brush, do you think that the conclusion can really be changed?
”I think that he's just unwilling to ad despite the fact that he has lost, how can there be such a person in the world!”
”Shaust fell on Zhang Xuan froantly?
You're already nearing your end, why are you still putting on an act?
Even Vice Guild Leader Cheng and Vice Guild Leader Wu were perplexed
It is just a layer of ink water on top of the paper Without using a brush, is there really a way to turn it into a painting?
”You say that there's a final step before its completion Fine, let's see what you have to say after this then!”
Ji Mo gongzi laughed coldly
”Alright, I'll start then!”
Disregarding the corabbed the xuan paper by the corner and gave it a gentle shake
Hualala!
The ink water on the surface of the painting flowed down, dyeing the entire painting
”Alright, I've co the xuan paper back on the table casually, Zhang Xuan smiled
”That’s all?”
Everyone was taken aback They thought that the youngster's final step would be soentle shake For a moment, they were coht look!”
Just as they ondering what that felloas up to, a person fro the voice, Vice Guild Leader Cheng and Vice Guild Leader Wu turned to look at the xuan paper Instantly, their bodies began to tre pale and their eyes widening
A h their mouth
”How how is this possible?”
