The four of them walked together. Gu Yuan and the other two walked in front. They looked like they were running away.
Yuetu chased after them from behind. He kept teaching them about Buddhism.
It was a great merit for Buddhism to teach people to do good. It was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.
Gu Yuan and the other two could not help but look relieved when they finally arrived in front of the siheyuan.
Ding Xiaozhu said, "Yuetu Bodhisattva, we've arrived at the expert's residence. Please keep quiet."
Yuetu nodded. "You're right. I won't say more. However, I hope you can consider what I said."
The scene fell into silence.
Looking at the courtyard in front of them, the four of them couldn't help but feel emotional.
They all had their own thoughts.
Yuetu felt like she was in a dream because the Buddhist scriptures were right in front of her. Her body was trembling.
Pei An and the other two looked at each other. There was deep worry in their eyes. It was much more complicated than Yuetu's.
This time, they were here to give the painting to the Immortal King of the Immortal Realm. They didn't dare to open the painting, but they knew that the contents of the painting wouldn't be anything good. Would the expert be angry if they gave it to him?
Should they give the painting to the expert?
They were conflicted!
Pei An said, "Go and knock on the door. We can only blame ourselves for being useless. If not, we'll teach the Immortal Master a lesson ourselves! If the expert is unhappy because of this, we're willing to bear the consequences! "
Gu Yuan nodded. Then, he walked out slowly and knocked on the door three times respectfully.
Creak.
Long'Er opened the door. He looked at them curiously. "You are?"
Although they had never seen Long'Er before, they didn't dare to be rude. They quickly bowed and said, "Hello, we're here to visit Young Master Li. We're sorry to disturb you. May I know who you are …"
"Oh, I'm Long'er. Come in." Long'er ran back to the siheyuan. "Brother, I'm here for you."
Li Nianfan, who was fiddling with the cauldron, nodded. "Yes. Go to the backyard and get some more corn and wheat. Ask your Big Sister Huo Feng to help. Try to crush these grains."
Cultivation was indeed convenient. Even without a pulverizer, one could do things that ordinary people could not do without the help of external objects.
Li Nianfan envied them for a moment before he raised his head and looked at the door. He smiled and said, "Old Master Gu and Old Master Pei, welcome."
Gu Yuan smiled and greeted, "Greetings, Young Master Li. This is our friend, Ding Xiaozhu."
Ding Xiaozhu quickly said cautiously, "Please forgive us for coming uninvited, Young Master Li."
Li Nianfan said casually, "Hahaha, you're a guest. There's no need to disturb us. Take a seat. Xiao Bai, come and serve the guests!"
Yuetu said carefully, "Young Master Li, I'm Yuetu."
"Sit, everyone, sit." Li Nianfan quickly finished his work.
Pei An was a little embarrassed. "Is Young Master Li busy?"
Li Nianfan said casually, "No, I'm just preparing to brew some wine."
Ding Xiaozhu, who was standing at the side, felt her Reflective Mirror trembling violently. She quickly pulled Pei An and whispered in a trembling voice, "That cauldron … seems to be a Connate Spiritual Treasure."
The Reflective Mirror was just an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, which was also known as an Immortal Instrument. It could not be compared to a Connate Spiritual Treasure.
Payne swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "I can feel it too. Calm down. It's nothing strange for the expert."
Only an expert would be able to use a Connate Spiritual Treasure to brew wine.
Gu Yuan held a cup of Happy Tea in his hand. He suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Grandmaster, I'm really embarrassed. I'm here to freeload off the expert again."
Entering the Siheyuan, even if it was just breathing, was a gift from the expert.
"You should think differently." Pei An comforted him. "We're not trying to curry favor with the expert. We're becoming the expert's disciples. There's another term for this: the Saint's disciples! Therefore, we have to do more things for the expert in the future to repay him! "
"Amazing, amazing! Grandmaster, you're amazing! "
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up and even started to swell. "I suddenly feel that I've become much more powerful. I even have a sense of mission."
As they were talking, Li Nianfan had already put down his work and walked towards them.
The four of them felt their hearts tighten. They quickly calmed themselves down and sat up straight.
Li Nianfan asked casually, "Everyone, it's been a while. How have you been?"
Pei An nodded and smiled. "It's all thanks to Young Master Li. We've been good."
"Why are you here today?" Li Nianfan asked.
Pei An and the other two's hearts skipped a beat. Their faces stiffened and their breathing quickened.
Li Nianfan looked at the three of them curiously. 'Is there really something? What could it be? '
"To be honest, Young Master Li, there is indeed something," Pei An smiled bitterly and nodded. Then, he said nervously, "Young Master Li, please don't take offense."
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"
"It's like this."
Pei An organized his words and said, "Someone gave me a painting scroll. He said that he wanted to consult Young Master Li."
As he spoke, his heartbeat had reached its limit. He took out the painting scroll with trembling hands.
"Oh? Consult? "
Li Nianfan was stunned. 'Someone wants to consult me on painting?'
To be precise, it wasn't an exchange. It seemed like they were here to challenge him.
He looked at Pei An, and his eyes flickered slightly. It was most likely that these guys were showing off his drawing of the Golden Crow everywhere, or bragging outside, drawing a wave of hatred, which attracted the provocation of others.
Facing Li Nianfan's gaze, Pei An and the other two felt their scalps go numb. Their bodies went soft and they almost knelt on the ground.
'The expert is obviously dissatisfied!'
"Young Master Li, if you don't want to, I'll send the painting back!" Pei An tried to salvage the situation. His voice sounded like he was about to cry as he prepared to put the painting scroll away.
"Since you're already here, why send it back? Take it out and let me have a look." Li Nianfan waved his hand. His face showed a hint of interest.
'My painting skills are pretty good. It's rare for someone to challenge me, so I might as well take a look.'
He took the painting scroll from Pei An and stood up. He walked to the stone table in the pavilion and placed the painting scroll on it.
Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Hehe, I didn't think that someone would challenge me to a painting competition. What a surprise."
'This is the Immortal Realm. Since the other party knows Pei An, he's most likely an Immortal. Are Immortals so bored these days?'
He never thought that he would one day be able to challenge an Immortal. It was a little surreal.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
'That's right. Who would have thought that the Immortal would be so reckless as to challenge the expert? Saying that it's like hitting a rock with an egg was already a compliment.'
'Did you see that smile on the expert's face? It's obviously a mocking smile!'
In the next moment, Li Nianfan opened the painting scroll and slowly spread it out.
As the painting scroll unfolded, waves of suppressed aura burst out like wild beasts released from their cages, causing the surrounding air to become violent.
Li Nianfan naturally didn't feel anything. The painting scroll continued to unfold, and what came into view was a huge fire!
A sea of fire that covered the sky! Bean Box
The flames in the painting were burning fiercely, occupying more than half of the painting. The crimson flames seemed to be escaping from the painting. It was a flat drawing, but it gave off a 3D visual effect.
In the middle of the sea of fire was a town. The faces of the residents couldn't be seen clearly, and they were running in all directions.
However, the sea of fire had already surrounded the town. The fire was monstrous and formed the shape of a fire dragon, encircling the town under its body. The dragon raised its head and looked outside the painting scroll!
It seemed to be looking at the people outside the painting scroll, arrogant and fierce!
Boom!
Pei An and the others' brains exploded at the same time. They felt that the fire dragon had already rushed into their minds from the painting. Then, they became one of the people in the town surrounded by fire. They were in the sea of fire, desperate and helpless.
In just a moment, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat. Their limbs were stiff, and they couldn't breathe under the pressure of the powerful aura.
They quickly looked at Li Nianfan.
However, they saw that his expression was normal. Instead, he was looking up and down with interest. They immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
'That's right. How could the expert be affected by this painting?'
They had only endured a little of the aftermath, and it was already so tiring for them. However, the expert didn't feel anything when he looked directly at the painting. This was the difference between them.
Everyone looked at the painting again with lingering fear. They had to admit that the Immortal Master was powerful.
This painting had vividly displayed the Law of Fire. If it wasn't for the expert's suppression, the fire dragon in the painting would have flown out and burned everything around it!
Not to mention picking up a brush.
A late-stage Golden Immortal only needed to understand one Law to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Obviously, this Immortal Master specialized in the Law of Fire. Moreover, he was only one step away from breaking through!
Powerful, unbelievable!
Unfortunately … the road was narrow.
Immortal Realm, Drifting Cloud Palace.
The Immortal Monarch seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly turned around and walked into a room. He sat down cross-legged and murmured, "Has it begun? Then let this Immortal Monarch see what you're capable of! "
"It's indeed a good painting." Li Nianfan nodded and praised sincerely. He commented, "This painting vividly displays the essence of fire when it's burning. It feels like the fire is alive. It's not easy."
However … the provocation was too strong.
Li Nianfan wasn't the only one who knew how to paint. Even an ordinary person who didn't know how to paint could see the provocation in the painting. It was overbearing, arrogant, sarcastic, and superior. It was like the fire in the painting.
Moreover, there were a few gaps in the painting, which meant that it wasn't completed yet. It seemed like it had been left for someone to fill in.
Coupled with Pei An's advice, the painter obviously didn't come with good intentions.
Wasn't it just a painting competition? Did they have to make such a fuss?
This person was simply too arrogant.
Li Nianfan frowned slightly. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
When it came to cultivation, he was trash. However, when it came to painting, he wasn't afraid of this person at all. How dare this person ride on his face? This was too much!
Li Nianfan couldn't help but ask, "Old Mr. Pei, is this your friend who painted this?"
Old Mr. Pei and the others almost jumped in fright. Their hair stood on end.
Without hesitation, they shook their heads like a rattle-drum. "No, of course not!"
"This person is headstrong, self-opinionated, and arrogant. How could we be friends with him?"
"Young Master Li, please don't misunderstand. We don't know this person well."
"I see." Li Nianfan nodded. It made sense. The painter was obviously an arrogant person. Gu Yuan and the others were so friendly that they couldn't possibly be friends. They were probably just passing on the painting.
Since they weren't friends, there was no need to show them any mercy.
Li Nianfan smiled. He shook his head and said, "This painting is okay, but it's too boring. It's a little petty. If that's the case, I'll work on it."
"Little Daji, bring me a brush."
Before long, Daji returned with a brush. "Please use it, Young Master."
"Alright!"
Li Nianfan stared at the painting and pondered for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up and he started writing!
The brush moved like a dragon and snake, leaving traces on the paper without pausing.
The moment Li Nianfan started writing, the Immortal Master let out a muffled groan. He felt as if there was a mountain on his shoulders. It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
His eyes reddened and his heart turned cold. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Li Nianfan didn't land directly on the flames. Instead, he landed outside the painting!
As he sketched, thick layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared above the flames. The dark clouds covered the sky, and the sound of thunder seemed to come from the painting.
The dark clouds grew thicker and thicker. In just a moment, the rampant flames were no longer the main character of the painting. The dark clouds stole the limelight.
Lightning began to appear under Li Nianfan's brush. Perhaps it was an illusion, but when Li Nianfan drew the lightning, the whole world seemed to flash. Then, a downpour came from the sky!
Boom! Boom!
The scene in the painting changed rapidly. Under such heavenly power, the fire dragon's power was weakened to the extreme.
The others didn't even dare to breathe.
The moment Li Nianfan picked up the brush, his entire body was enveloped by the Power of Precepts. It was as though his entire being had merged with the heavens and earth. Even the slightest bit of power that leaked out was enough to immobilize them.
Terrifying, too terrifying!
They looked at the dark clouds and the storm.
Suddenly, their bodies trembled, and an endless chill rose.
It was as if they had become a small boat in the sea, swaying in the wind and rain, and could be destroyed at any time.
Was the expert preparing to use the law of water to destroy the Immortal Master's law of fire?
However … Li Nianfan wasn't done yet.
His brush landed on the residents of the courtyard house.
It was just a few strokes.
All of a sudden, the residents' breasts became extremely plump.
Wooden basins appeared in their hands, and water droplets flowed out from them. Their originally blurry faces were now clear, but their faces were filled with determination. In just an instant, they changed from the image of panic to the scene of calmly fighting the fire together.
Their clothes fluttered in the wind and rain, and they faced the sky full of flames fearlessly.
The main characters in the painting changed again. From the sky full of torrential rain to these inconspicuous people!
With the addition of these scenes, the Fire Dragon's figure no longer had a trace of its domineering aura. Its strength was also nowhere to be seen. Instead, it gave off a feeling of weakness.
Buzz!
Everyone widened their eyes. They only felt heat in their hearts. A huge wave of heat rushed to the top of their heads, and their minds went blank.
This was no longer a battle of laws. The entire artistic conception of the painting had been twisted!
At this moment, what was the law of fire? It wasn't a dragon, nor was it a snake. It was an insect!
They couldn't help but think of what the expert had just said. "Petty. Indeed, he's too petty!"
