Chapter 1165 - The Proud Zhang Jiuxiao (2/2)
The painting depicted apeaks that shot beyond the clouds The middle portion of the , wispy clouds They had thought that it was just a detail of the painting, but it was actually the seal?
Intrigued, Zhang Xuan also exaht, but he was unable to discern anything peculiar about the for a moment, the head of the Painter Guild couldn’t help but ask, “How can you be certain that the clouds are the seal?”
The crowd also swiftly turned their gazes over
Shaking his head, the copper-by the entrance of the hall backed out of the room, and a moment later, he returned with a torch
The copper-ainst the painting Under the searing flalow, and the lush greenery iftly reduced to ashes Only the clouds remained as they were
“This…”
The head of the Painter Guild narrowed his eyes in astonishment “For only the clouds to remain unaffected by the flames of the torch… thatJudging from the effect, I deduce that there was an interval of at least thirty years between the co and the addition of the clouds How could I have failed to notice it?”
Under nor was truly wholeso should have affected its entirety Yet, for only the clouds to remain unaffected by the flames of the torch, it nificant period after the co If that was the case, it was understandable why the copper-ure would view it to be a seal
” The brush strokes for the painting of the clouds htly more forceful in order to allow it to blend in better with the rest of the painting, thushoholeso remained even after the addition of the clouds, it stands to reason that they were added in by the original painter himself,” Guild Leader Mu interjected
The crowd nodded
Only the original painter could possibly add clouds into the painting without introducing any incongruous factors into the painting
“But… even if we know that the clouds are the seal, there is no e can ‘remove’ them”
The crowd fell silent once more
Even if they knew that the clouds were added after the co and that they were likely a seal, they had no way of separating the two After all, the clouds had already fused with the rest of the painting
Seeing that the croas still helpless after he revealed the position of the seal, the copper-ure shook his head “It seeyuan E, he was just about to put away the painting when someone suddenly spoke up
“Can you allow ure raised his gaze and saw a youngXuan
He was also a little intrigued by the painting, and since the others were unable to discern anything peculiar about it, he wanted to take a closer look to see as going on
However, before Zhang Xuan could reach the painting, another voice sounded behind him “You are only a 5-star appraiser, what can you possibly see fro? AllowJiuxiao stood up and walked proudly toward the painting
He brushed his finger lightly across the painting and pondered for abefore, and I also kno the seal works”
Seeing how confident Zhang Jiuxiao was, the copper-ure clasped his fist and earnestly requested, “You kno the seal works? If that’s truly the case, I hu I’enerously for this favor!”
“This seal is known as the Sealing Cloud Pin It utilizes a uniquethe foundation of the painting If I’m not mistaken, the seal has been imbued with an individual spirit, or else the clouds would have surely fused together with the rest of the painting with sufficient ti Cloud Pin?”
The copper- Jiuxiao in bewilderment They had never heard of such a skill before
Zhang Jiuxiao placed his hands behind his back and spoke proudly “I once witnessed a person undoing this seal back in my clan, so I kno it can be deciphered”
“Your clan?”
“You don’t know? The nu of a Sage Clan, the Zhang Clan!”
“An offspring of the Zhang Clan?”
“That explains a lot! With a background like his, even if he’s just fros that we can hardly i Jiuxiao had a way to decipher the painting, an excited commotion broke out amid the crowd, and many looks of ad that the other party was froure froze for a briefhis fist to ask, “So, how should the Sealing Cloud Pin that you spoke of be deciphered?”
“Simple In order to resolve the seal, we have to find an individual who specializes in soul arts Using his soul as a medium, ill draw out the spirit harnessed within the clouds”
“An individual who specializes in soul arts?” the copper-ure asked doubtfully
“Indeed Once the spirit harnessed within the seal is drawn out, we’ll be able to re Jiuxiao said
The copper-, “May I kno skilled the individual must be in soul arts?”
“That individual must have fine control over their soul, and their soul ht cause severe da into a piece of scrap paper More importantly, that individual must knohere the spirit is concealed, so he ”
“This…” The copper-ure was stunned “Where in the world can we find a person like that?”
It was easy to find individuals to satisfy a single one of the conditions, but to find one that satisfied all three conditions… Was there even such a person in Qingyuan City? ( )
Zhang Jiuxiao chuckled “There’s no need to look any further”
Standing upright, he emanated a lofty but valiant air, reminiscent of a true hero “I happen to fit the criteria!”
