No eyes?
Did he forget to draw them, or what was going on?
Everyone was perplexed.
Regardless of whether it was a human or an animal, the most expressive feature was the eyes. Without the eyes, it meant that the painting was incomplete.
Yet, it was already at the pinnacle of the second level?
"Brother Zhang, what are you..."
Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"Oh, I'll fill it up now..." Zhang Xuan chuckled. He took out his brush and swiftly filled up the missing parts.
Weng!
The appearance of these eyes caused the entire painting to tremble. Immediately, everyone felt a peculiar sensation. The humans and animals within the painting seemed to have come to life, as though they could walk out from the painting at any moment.
"This?"
Upon seeing the sudden change in the image, Master Yuanyu and Master Lu Chen were taken aback. Their eyes widened into round circles as they stared in disbelief.
Qiu qiu!
Before they could say anything, the chirping of birds echoed in the air above the courtyard. A flock of birds flew excitedly toward the painting, not leaving for a long time.
"Breathtaking Verisimilitude? Could this be the fourth level of Breathtaking Verisimilitude? "Looking at the sight before him in a daze, Bai Xun couldn't help but ask.
Master Lu Chen had explained that there were four realms in painting. For the birds to fly over and not leave, it was clear that they had reached the fourth level, Breathtaking Verisimilitude.
Didn't the two masters say that this painting was only at the second level at most?
Why... did it suddenly become the fourth level?
"Could it be... those eyes?"
Covering her mouth, Huang Yu's body trembled.
To think that she would have the chance to see a god art of the fourth level with her own eyes... This was something she couldn't have imagined.
Weng!
However, before they could recover from their shock, the birds on the painting shook and flew up from the painting. Together with the other birds, they circled around the painting a few times before disappearing into the air.
The characters in the painting seemed to have walked out of a painting. They smiled at the crowd, bowed, and slowly disappeared.
"This... This isn't the fourth level..."
Seeing this sight, Master Lu Chen's mouth seemed to have been stuffed with an egg. After a long while, he spat out, "It's... the fifth level... Spirit Creation!"
"Spirit Creation?"
Huang Yu and Bai Xun looked at him doubtfully.
Weren't there only four levels in painting? Why would a fifth level appear?
What was going on?
They felt a little light-headed.
"Reality Depiction, Spiritual Canvas, Infused Intentions, Breathtaking Verisimilitude … These are the most widely spread realms of painting and calligraphy that are passed down by word of mouth. In reality, there is another realm above them, and that is Spirit Creation! A painting that has reached this level is infused with the essence, qi, and spirit of a master painter. It can actively absorb spiritual energy and make the life in the painting come to life, as if it has a soul. "
Master Yuanyu's lips quivered, "I thought that this only existed in the legends... To think that I would actually see it with my own eyes..."
Even Master Yuan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but tremble.
To be honest, he was going crazy.
It was just a moment ago that he was still reprimanding the other party, saying that the other party was being too exaggerated and that he might be able to produce a work of artistic conception after a few years of accumulation. In the end … the other party actually managed to produce a masterpiece of the fifth level!
A painting of this level... Even in the innumerable years since the founding of Tianxuan Kingdom, only a handful of such works had appeared!
Even the Ink Daylily Diagram that Huang Yu and Su Yu wanted was only at the peak of the fourth level. There was still a huge gap between them and the fifth level.
Those who could paint a painting of the fourth level would be called a master painter, and those who could paint a painting of the fifth level could be called a grandmaster. Yet, he actually said that a grandmaster painter was boastful, ignorant of etiquette, and had no sense of time …
F * ck!
Has he gone mad?
Master Yuanyu felt a burning sensation on his face. If there was a hole in the courtyard, he would definitely dive into it immediately.
This was simply too embarrassing.
To be honest, for a person of this level, let alone a couple of hours, even if he had to wait for three days, he would be willing to do so without any hesitation.
"Th... fifth level?"
"There's even a fifth level?"
Only then did Huang Yu and Bai Xun come to a realization. They immediately turned to look at Miss Zhang.
Lu Chen was an otherworldly expert and he couldn't be bothered with the affairs of the mortal world. He only knew that Zhang Xuan was a teacher, but he didn't know anything else. Master Yuanyu had only just met Zhang Xuan, so he didn't pursue the matter.
The two of them had been to Hongtian Academy, so they knew a lot about this Miss Zhang.
It was said that he was trash, that he scored the last in the Teacher Qualification Examination, and that his students had left one after another …
Yet, the truth was that he was at Pixue realm pinnacle and possessed the abilities of a grandmaster painter before he was even twenty …
Have any of you seen such an incredible trash?
If he is trash, then what are we?
The cream of the crop of trash?
Brother, how did you learn it? Do you have to be so heaven-defying?
More importantly … If you are already so incredible, why did you scribble randomly as though you don't know anything at all?
Furthermore, you even spent four hours reading a book …
With such a standard, what is the point of reading a book? What is the point of adjusting your state of mind? Even a casual painting would be at least a fourth level painting …
"Master Zhang, Grandpa Zhang, can you … give me this painting? As long as you give it to me, I will do anything for you! "
Just when everyone was immersed in disbelief, Bai Xun suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xuan expectantly.
"Give it to you?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"That's right. I have always treated you with respect and I dare not disobey you … Just give it to me …" Bai Xun hurriedly said.
"Bai Xun, what are you doing? Master Zhang has just finished this painting and it carries his emotions with it. How can he give it away so easily? You should just save it! " Seeing how shameless this fellow was, Huang Yu frowned and berated him. Then, she turned to look at him and said, "Master Zhang, we are the first to know each other, so I won't ask you to give it to me. Why don't you … sell it to me? Name a price. As long as I can afford it, I will definitely give it to you!"
"You …"
Bai Xun thought that Huang Yu was berating him because he felt that it was inappropriate for him to ask for it, but it turned out that she had such intentions.
Bai Xun was speechless. He didn't expect this ridiculously beautiful assistant master teacher to be so cunning and shameless. Harrumphing, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Grandpa Zhang, as long as you sell it to me, I will give you any price. I will definitely pay more than her!"
"Bai Xun, what are you doing? Don't you want Master Lu Chen's Ink Daylily Canvas? I won't fight with you over it. I only want this one. That should be fine, right … "
Huang Yu gritted her teeth and said.
"I don't want the Ink Daylily Canvas anymore. Can you not fight with me over it?" Bai Xun refused to budge.
"…" Lu Chen.
Just a while ago, these two fellows were still fighting over the 【Ink Daylily Canvas】, and they were on the verge of coming to blows with one another. The duel today was to determine who was qualified to obtain it … But now, as soon as Zhang Xuan's painting appeared, they actually threw it aside like a pair of shoes …
The heck!
Can't you have some principles?
Is there a need to be so fickle in the old?
"You … Bai Xun, are you determined to go against me?" Huang Yu gritted her teeth.
"You are the one who is going against me, alright? I was the one who said that I wanted this painting first …" Bai Xun said.
"Enough!"
Seeing that the two of them were still arguing endlessly, Master Lu Chen's face darkened and he flung his sleeves.
Hearing those words, the two of them didn't dare to speak anymore.
Lu Chen was the famous emperor's tutor, and to them, he was their elder. Now that their elder was enraged, wouldn't it be courting death to continue arguing?
"Even a grandmaster painter has to expend a lot of energy, spirit, and energy in order to produce a fifth level painting. There are only a few of them that can be passed down through the generations. This painting was painstakingly created by little friend Zhang Xuan. It is up to him to decide whether he should keep it for himself or give it to you. How can you continue arguing here?"
Waving his hands, Master Lu Chen's aura was as imposing as a mountain.
He was right. Even a grandmaster painter would find it difficult to produce a fifth level painting. After all, it involved many factors such as one's state of mind and state of mind. It was impossible for one to produce a fifth level painting in a short period of time.
This was precisely the reason why even the grandmaster painter Mo Chenzi a hundred years ago, whose name caused countless painters in the kingdom to pay him a visit, didn't leave behind many fifth level paintings. Even Lu Chen's Ink Daylily Canvas was only at the pinnacle of the fourth level.
Thus, every fifth level painting was incomparably precious. It contained the painstaking effort of the creator, so how could he give it away just like that? Sell it just like that?
If it was that easy to buy a painting of this level, how could Lu Chen, with his immense wealth, not have a single one of it?
It was impossible for him to sell a painting that was painstakingly crafted by another. Yet, you two were arguing here, determined to obtain it. Aren't you making it impossible for him to step down?
"We have been too rash..."
"Master Lu, Master Zhang, I was wrong..."
Hearing the reprimand, Huang Yu and Bai Xun recovered from their daze and awkwardness appeared on their faces.
Even before the other party said that he was going to sell it, they were already bickering with one another. How embarrassing...
"Zhang Xuan little friend, they are the ones who are insensible. I hope that you won't blame them..."
After reprimanding the duo, Master Lu Chen turned to look at Zhang Xuan apologetically.
After which, not only did the other party not get angry, he even looked at him with glowing eyes. Just as Master Lu Chen was perplexed, the other party's voice sounded, "Master Lu... This painting of mine... Is there really someone who wants to buy it? Can it really be sold for money? "
"Cough cough!"
Seeing his reaction, Master Lu Chen nearly choked on his saliva. If even a painting of this level couldn't be sold for money, wouldn't it mean that no one would pick up his painting even if it were to be thrown on the ground?
Speechless, he nodded his head, "Your painting has reached the fifth level. If you were to sell it, it would be worth at least two million gold coins. Furthermore, there is no market for it..."
"Two million gold coins? That's great! "
Delight appeared on Zhang Xuan's face. He turned to look at Bai Xun and said, "Bai xiao wangye, if you really want it, I can sell this painting to you for two million!"
"Ah?" Not expecting such a turn of events, Bai Xun was taken aback.
"Master Zhang, sell it to me..."
Huang Yu shouted anxiously.
"There's no hurry. You want it as well? If you do, I can just paint another one for you. It's not a big deal anyway... "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
"..."
Lu Chen and Yuanyu's faces twitched. They stared at Zhang Xuan as though he was a monster and they nearly fainted on the spot.
Paint another one? It's not a big deal anyway?
Brother, even if you are a grandmaster painter, this is a painting of the fifth level... Paint another one?
You make it sound as though you are picking up cabbages from the market...
You must be joking!
If it was that easy to paint such an incredible painting, paintings of the fifth level wouldn't be so rare. There wasn't even a single one in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom.
It's time! Let me take a look. We are currently ranked ninth on the overall board, and we aren't too far away from the two in front of us. We only have two to three hundred votes. Even if we double the votes, it would still be around a hundred votes. Can everyone help me charge up? Charge up, Laoya!!!!
