Ni Jingting's teachings actually made some sense.
Famous paintings weren't a necessity in this world. Just like in the modern world, the only great painters that many people could name were probably Van Gogh and Da Vinci. However, there were countless people who knew Einstein, Edison, and Newton.
When it came to contributions to the world, Einstein was definitely better than Van Gogh.
"The show is about to begin!"
Gu Xiuxun was secretly happy. (Do you think the name Black Doggy Sun is fake? Later on, I'll spout so much insults that you doubt your life.)
"Your talent is not bad. Don't waste it on painting."
Ni Jingting seemed to be guiding Sun Mo, but he was actually doing it on purpose to disgust Sun Mo and dig a pit for him to jump into. If you said that you'd benefited from his teachings, you'd definitely feel as sullen as if you'd eaten shit, or you'd refute him forcefully. If that was the case, you'd be wearing the hat of not respecting your seniors.
"Teacher Ni, you're mistaken!"
An Xinhui and Yue Rongbo both sensed Ni Jingting's sinister intentions and wanted to help Sun Mo out of the predicament. However, the spirit qi in the surroundings of the cruise suddenly seethed and gathered toward a young man in the crowd.
Whoosh!
The surrounding guests hurriedly made way and turned their heads in passing. After that, they saw the young man wearing the Myriad Daos Academy's uniform staring at the galloping horses Sun Mo had created with full concentration. He didn't even blink.
"He's going to level up!"
In his excitement, Cao Xian roared, "All of you, quiet down!"
This was a good seedling of his school. He couldn't afford to be hurt.
"Limitless, stop drinking!"
Yue Rongbo berated. Duan Qiao was Fang Wuji's personal disciple, and at this moment, he naturally needed to stand guard at the side.
"Hmm? Is the bridge going to level up? "
Fang Wuji stood up with a look of joy on his face. When Duan Qiao was at the spirit-refinement realm, after he opened 12 acupoints, he fell into a bottleneck. Who would have thought that he would actually break through now?
Fang Wuji quickly walked over and saw that Duan Qiao was currently staring at a painting. He also looked over and his spirit stirred.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Duan Qiao's clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. His body was like a whirlpool, crazily swallowing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Three minutes later, the advancement was complete!
Hu!
Duan Qiao let out a long breath.
Spirit Refinement realm, 15 acupoints opened, achieved!
"Headmaster Cao, congratulations. Another genius has appeared in your esteemed school!"
Although there was an 80 to 90% chance that Duan Qiao would become a strong enemy of Sun Mo and Liu Mubai's students, An Xinhui still congratulated him.
In terms of breadth of mind, An Xinhui was absolutely open-minded.
"Spirit Refinement Realm? Amazing! "
Liu Mubai praised.
"Haha, his name is Duan Qiao, a personal disciple of Limitless. In the future, if there are no accidents, he will become the top disciple of our Myriad Daos Academy!"
Cao Xian took the opportunity to introduce Duan Qiao to increase his reputation.
Back then, Fang Yan was famous because An Xinhui had brought him to the Deer Tail Banquet.
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the surrounding guests immediately complimented Cao Xian, making him so happy that he could only see his teeth.
"Teacher, I've finally broken through the bottleneck and advanced!"
Duan Qiao rushed to Fang Wuji's side and reported happily.
"Yes, I saw it!"
Fang Wuji surveyed Duan Qiao as he stretched out his hand to inspect his body. "Go and thank Teacher Sun. Without the stimulation from his famous painting, it's unknown how long it would take for you to break through your bottleneck!"
When the crowd heard this, they were dumbfounded. Where did this come from? Moreover, weren't the two of them enemies?
Duan Qiao started. After that, he nodded and walked up to Sun Mo, bending his waist and bowing. "Teacher Sun, it's all thanks to your famous painting that I was able to succeed in my breakthrough!"
"You're exaggerating. This is because your comprehension ability is very high!"
Sun Mo was humble and didn't dare to bow.
"Teacher Sun, there's no need to be humble. This Galloping Horse Painting does have the effect of inspiring one's spirit to students. If it wasn't for the fact that it was reserved by Prime Minister Zheng, I really wanted to bring it back to the school for an exhibition and let all the students see it!"
Yue Rongbo laughed.
Si ~
After hearing this, the guests drew in a cold gasp. They only felt that this painting was very charming, but they didn't expect it to have such an effect. After that, they subconsciously glanced at Ni Jingting.
One must know that this 3-star great teacher had just criticized Sun Mo, saying that painting was a minor dao. In the end, Sun Mo's famous painting actually helped a student to break through his bottleneck successfully!
Wasn't this too face-smacking?
As expected, Ni Jingting's expression was extremely awkward!
He wanted to rebut, but Yue Rongbo was a 4-star great teacher. Could it be that Sun Mo was inferior to a 4-star great teacher?
Li Zixing's lips twitched as he glared at Cao Xian. (How do you discipline your subordinates?)
Cao Xian smiled bitterly. Yue Rongbo had always admired Sun Mo. Besides, Sun Mo was an upright person. Even if it was someone else, Cao Xian would say the same.
Sun Mo's famous painting really had an effect!
If one wanted to complain, they could only say that Ni Jingting was too unlucky.
"Teacher Ni, I feel that Grandmaster Miao's words aren't bad. An outsider shouldn't criticize others!"
Sun Mo smiled and looked at Ni Jingting, mocking, "In terms of painting, you aren't qualified to guide me!"
The entire Linjiang Hall was silent. No one had expected that Sun Mo would publicly rebuke Ni Jingting, not giving him any face at all.
"Haha, Black Doggy Sun is going to bite someone."
Gu Xiuxun was elated.
"Teacher Ni, if you want to understand famous paintings, you can come and look for me. There's no need for the gift of becoming my teacher!"
Sun Mo appeared very generous, but it angered Ni Jingting half to death.
Pu!
An Xinhui couldn't help but laugh. Her childhood sweetheart was really unreasonable!
"Isn't Sun Mo a little too condescending?"
Cao Xian mumbled.
"Headmaster Cao, maybe at the end of the year, Sun Mo's teacher attire would have three stars tattooed on it. Ni Jingting really doesn't have much capital to be arrogant before him."
Yue Rongbo explained.
"You are saying that Sun Mo can accomplish the feat of rising by three stars in a year? Aren't you overestimating him? "
Cao Xian was astonished and a little worried at the same time. It was because he knew that Yue Rongbo's judgment was very good. If Sun Mo really succeeded, the Myriad Daos Academy would welcome its strongest enemy.
"I'm deeply afraid that I've underestimated him!"
Yue Rongbo sighed ruefully.
"Teacher Sun, many thanks!"
Fang Wuji clasped his fists and bowed.
Two months later, he would also be participating in the 2-star great teacher examination. The stronger Duan Qiao was, the higher his chances of passing would be. Hence, he had to thank Sun Mo.
The moment he said this, Ni Jingting's countenance turned even darker.
As the organizer, Fang Lun naturally didn't wish to see the conflict intensify. Hence, he changed the topic. "Alright, this matter shall come to an end. Let's continue admiring the famous paintings."
"There's still a famous painting?"
Zheng Qingfang was astonished.
"Haha, Old Zheng, this time around, I bought a famous painting that Wu Yezi had just created. It's definitely an authentic work."
Fang Lun boasted.
Miao Mu's famous painting naturally couldn't be compared to Wu Yezi's because Wu Yezi was the number one artist in Jiangnan and was publicly acknowledged.
Even if his paintings weren't famous, it would still be hard to find one!
"Governor, quickly take it out."
"It's Grandmaster Wu's famous painting. I haven't seen it before!"
"Or rather, the number of people who have seen it before is very few. Because those who could buy his paintings are all wealthy and respectable people. They would keep it after they bought it, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it!"
The guests discussed amongst themselves with excitement on their faces.
This was the effect of a celebrity. Da Vinci's painting would surely be more attractive compared to the painting of a student from the Academy of Fine Arts.
"Bring it out!"
Fang Lun called out.
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo exchanged a mutual glance. What should come still came.
As expected, that little maid soon entered the great hall. However, she was too small. Hence, the two maids opened the painting.
"This is Grandmaster Wu Yezi's new work, [Riches and Honor, Solitary Residence Painting]. It... eh?"
Fang Lun had wanted to introduce this painting, but at the instant he saw it, he was stunned. Why did he feel that it was a little different?
There were a few places where the colors had changed. Also, the concept that the painting exuded had changed as well.
"Old Fang, what's wrong?"
Qi Mu`en was puzzled.
"Nothing much, I'm just sighing ruefully. As expected of a grandmaster's work. Every time I look at it, I would have a different understanding!"
Fang Lun laughed loudly, feeling impressed.
He treated the difference between these two famous paintings as a display of Wu Yezi's profound painting skills.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Zhiruo secretly used her elbow to nudge Li Ziqi. "Eldest martial sister, you passed!"
"Mn!"
Li Ziqi also felt at ease.
Honestly speaking, one couldn't blame Fang Lun for being careless. No matter how much one racked their brains, they wouldn't be able to imagine that someone would be able to copy a famous painting that was almost exactly the same!
"Good painting!"
"As expected of a grandmaster's work!"
"This concept, this composition, it's simply superb!"
The guests exclaimed in admiration. This was especially so for those high-ranking officials who had retired. They instantly felt a sense of nobility, standing out from the crowd, and not wallowing in the mire with the mortal world!
"Grandmaster Wu Yezi's work truly lives up to its reputation!"
Li Zixing clapped and praised. "Teacher Sun's earlier painting isn't bad either, but when compared to this one, the concept and technique are much inferior!"
Was it very inferior?
The guests couldn't understand, but it was right for them to agree. Because even if they used their buttocks to think, Wu Yezi's painting would definitely be better than Sun Mo's.
"Pu!"
Ying Baiwu, who always had a cold expression, involuntarily laughed. After that, she felt contempt in her heart. These major characters were truly hypocritical and ignorant people.
Zheng Qingfang helplessly shook his head. This was clearly a chance for Sun Mo to become famous, but Fang Lun did such a thing. Sigh!
"Eh? This painting... "
Miao Mu was surprised. Why did he feel that something was wrong? However, before he could think of what was going on, he heard someone shouting!
"This painting is fake!"
Fang Lun was enraged. (Are you doubting my judgment?) However, just when he wanted to fly off the handle, he turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Li Zixing's youngest son, Li Feng.
This caused him to be unable to reprimand Sun Mo.
"Don't speak nonsense!"
Li Zixing reprimanded.
"Father, this painting is fake!"
Li Feng was still young. When he saw that others didn't believe his words, he felt even more rebellious and wanted to prove that he was right.
"Little prince, in that case, how do you think this painting is fake?"
Fang Lun questioned, his tone unfriendly.
"Fake... fake..."
Li Feng stuttered. He was worried that if he said that the little maid had destroyed the painting, that lowly maid would sell him out.
"This is clearly a famous painting that has reached the Wondrous Blossom Realm. How can it be fake?"
Qi Mu`en shook his head. This fellow Li Feng spoke too much.
"That's right, why is it fake?"
After hearing this, Li Feng suddenly started to doubt himself. (Could I have seen wrongly back then?) Hence, he stared at the painting, wanting to see if there were any traces of it being repaired.
"Hu, I passed!"
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the little maid and blinked his eyes.
"Hehe!"
The little maid, who was originally trembling in fear, instantly broke into a smile. But at this moment, a heroic voice rang out.
"I'm late. Forgive me, forgive me!"
Li Ziqi turned her head. After that, her expression changed because the person who came was Wu Yezi.
