Both sides agreed on the odds for the duel and set the date for five days later.

"Looks like I'm going to have to earn some more experience points in the last five days. ”

With Ye Yutian's current strength, he is definitely not Cao Yuefeng's opponent.

The difference between the sixfold realm is indeed a bit big.

He Shen was called over and asked, "Steward He, do you know where you can get Yuanshi?"

"Yuanshi?" He Shen was stunned.

He was born in the military department, and he has practiced the most basic "Martial Arts Quenching Boxing", and now his strength is also a quenching body.

For Yuanshi, He Shen naturally knew it.

"Master, if Yuan Shi is the case, only the palace and the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce have reserves in the entire royal city. ”

"Qian Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"Not bad. ”

Ye Yutian pondered.

The reserve of Yuan Shi in the royal palace is usually used by the king to reward meritorious people, and it is not so easy to obtain.

Maybe when Chu Chanyue gets married, the king should give a lot of yuan stones as a dowry, but the time is too long, and Ye Yutian can't wait.

"Then how can I get the Yuan Stone from the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"Buy. He Shen replied.

"Buy?" Ye Yutian wondered.

"It's a thousand taels of silver, and you can buy a yuan stone at the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce. ”

"So expensive?"

He Shen nodded, in fact, silver to buy yuan stones, or yuan stones to exchange for silver, this is not an uncommon thing in the royal city.

Although the status of martial arts monks is above that of ordinary people, and they are not very interested in gold, silver and jewelry, they have to live after all.

If you want to live, you will have to use silver.

Like Ye Yutian, the entire mansion goes up and down, and there are expenses every day.

"Steward He, you go and sell the congratulatory gifts sent by the generals and ministers of the court today, what gold, silver and jade, etc., to see how much silver you can muster, and then go to the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce to buy some yuan stones and come back, before the sun sets, I want to see the yuan stones." ”

"Oh yes, calculate the approximate cost of the house this month, just leave some silver enough. "Ye Yu Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, sir. He Shen nodded, and then went to do it.

......

Twilight.

He Shen came back from the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce and placed the three Yuan Stones in front of Ye Yutian.

"Just three?"

"Yes, sir, although there are a lot of congratulatory gifts sent by the generals and ministers of the court, they are all small pieces, not very valuable, and you are in a hurry to ask for Yuanshi, sir, you can only expedite the processing, it is already good to have three pieces. He Shen said.

Three yuan stones, that is equivalent to three thousand taels of silver.

If you think about it, those congratulatory gifts are indeed worth so much.

"Three is too little. Ye Yutian shook his head and sighed.

"If the old man takes out the "Flying Snow Picture of the Royal City" and sells it, he can still exchange it for a yuan stone. He Shen said.

Speaking of the painting, he had a flash of inspiration: "yes! I didn't think of it." ”

Ye Yutian was immediately overjoyed, and asked He Shen to take the pen, ink, inkstone, and paper, and began to paint.

Not long after, a complete picture of "Flying Snow in the Royal City" appeared.

"One can sell for a thousand taels, and a few more are painted. ”

As he spoke, Ye Yutian continued to paint.

......

It's dark at night.

In the entire princess's mansion, only Ye Yutian lit the lamp and painted in the study, although it was boring, but it was very happy.

Every time I complete a "Flying Snow Picture of the Royal City", it is as if I have seen a thousand taels of silver.

Early the next morning.

Ye Yutian hurriedly woke He Shen up.

"Steward He, you took these paintings and sold them, see how many they can sell?"

He Shen walked into the study and glanced at the dozen or so "Flying Snow Pictures of Wangcheng" stacked on the table, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

This......

Who drew all this?

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"

"Oh, yes. He Shen didn't ask much, and hurriedly sorted out these paintings.

"Flying Snow in the Royal City" is already very famous in the circle of the aristocracy, who doesn't know, it is a masterpiece of the painter's personal disciples.

He Shen looked at these paintings, his heart full of doubts.

He wanted to know, among the dozen or so "Flying Snow Pictures in Wangcheng", which one was the real one?

"Sir, I have a question. ”

Say. ”

"How much are you going to sell these paintings?"

Ye Yutian fell into deep thought, and then said, "Five hundred taels." ”

After all, this painting is a copy, not a genuine work, and if you sell it in half, there should be a lot of people buying it.

......

Day.

After more than a dozen "Flying Snow Pictures in Wangcheng" appeared in Wangcheng, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The previous original painting of "Flying Snow in Wangcheng" was auctioned off by General Zhennan for 1,000 taels, and then given to Ye Yutian.

Now more than a dozen "Flying Snow Pictures in the Royal City" have appeared, and they are only sold for five hundred taels.

After many dignitaries found out, they snatched it up in a short time.

Of course, those aristocratic people are not stupid, so they specially invited calligraphy and painting appraisers for this purpose.

Some of these painting and calligraphy appraisers have seen the authentic works of "Flying Snow in the Royal City".

Although I dare not say that these "Wangcheng Flying Snow Pictures" that only cost five hundred taels are better than the real works, they will not be much worse.

From an artistic point of view, the 500 taels of "Flying Snow in the Royal City" is simply too cost-effective.

......

In just one morning, Ye Yutian earned seven thousand five hundred taels.

Subsequently, he asked He Shen to go to the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce to exchange for seven yuan stones.

"I earned seven yuan stones in one morning, which is equal to 7 experience points. Ye Yu Tianxin said: "It seems that I have to draw a few more pictures and strive to earn 20 experience points a day." ”

True Qi Realm, for each boost, you need 10 experience points.

To break through the realm, you need 100 experience points.

In other words, in order to reach the Yuan Dan realm, he must have 170 experience points.

Thinking of this, Ye Yutian went into the study and painted frantically without sleep and food.

......

500 taels is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for those high-ranking officials, it is insignificant.

According to the price of Dongxuanguo, Ye Yutian can roughly estimate that one tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in his previous life.

Five hundred taels of silver is 500,000 red tickets.

In the afternoon of the same day, the people who came to buy "Wangcheng Flying Snow Map" were almost lined up to the princess's mansion.

Ye Yutian was so busy that he couldn't even drink water, and looked at the silver tickets stacked on the desk, full of energy.

"There are really a lot of rich people in this royal city. ”

Until sunset.

Ye Yutian sold another twenty paintings, which were equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and after exchanging them for yuan stones, they were converted into 10 experience points.

That is, I earned 17 XP today.

"20 experience points a day, not fast, but also very good. Ye Yutian felt very satisfied.

At this rate, by the day of the duel with Cao Yuefeng, it is estimated that it will be enough to ascend to the ninth level of true qi.

......

Night falls.

The Mozhu Pavilion in the royal city.

"Miss, no. ”

In the pavilion of the pavilion, a woman dressed in white is sitting on a chair, holding a brush in her hand, and is quietly painting.

At this moment, a maidservant girl came in a hurry.

"Xiao Cui, what's wrong?" the woman in white spoke flatly, but her gaze never left the painting.

"Look, miss. ”

The maidservant girl named Xiaocui said, and each of her hands held up a painting.

Isn't this "Flying Snow in the Royal City"?

And it's two.

The woman in white raised her head and looked at the two words, and the look in her beautiful eyes did not change in the slightest.

"Miss, there are people who imitate your works, and they are sold publicly, and there are quite a few of them. Xiao Cui said.

"Oh, got it. The woman in white nodded and continued to paint.

"Miss, aren't you angry?"

"Why be angry?"

"Now many people in Wangcheng can't tell which is your real handiwork, I inquired, many calligraphy and painting appraisers, all say that the "Wangcheng Flying Snow Picture" they see is a genuine handiwork, and this painting only sells for five hundred taels of silver, which is cheaper than your real handiwork. Xiao Cui said excitedly.

"Show me. The woman in white said.

Subsequently, Xiao Cui handed over the "Flying Snow Map of Wangcheng" in his left hand.

After a while, the woman in white spoke, "This is the real thing. ”

Xiao Cui was stunned, wouldn't she, she bought one casually in the princess's mansion and bought the real thing?

"No, the paper I used is not the same paper I used, and the pen and ink are slightly different, so it shouldn't be genuine. After a moment, the woman in white said.

"Miss, even you almost didn't distinguish it, no wonder those calligraphy and painting appraisers in Wangcheng couldn't distinguish it. Cui was stunned.

"Presumably, the person who copied is also proficient in painting, and I am very impressed that he can copy so similarly. The woman in white laughed.

"Miss, are you still in the mood to laugh?" Xiao Cui rolled her eyes.

"Why can't you laugh?"

"You think, he can copy your paintings, and even you can barely tell the difference between the real and the fake, this is still necessary?"

Xiao Cui continued: "If you think about it carefully, if he can copy your paintings to this level, who will buy our paintings in the future? And the most infuriating thing is that he only sells for five hundred taels. ”

"You have some truth in that, and it's really infuriating. The woman in white laughed.

"......" Xiaocui rolled her eyes, so can you still laugh?

"Where did you buy this painting?" asked the woman in white.

"Princess's Mansion. ”

"Which princess's mansion?"

"It's the princess's mansion where the fifth prince is going to marry, it seems to be called Ye Yutian. ”

"Fifth princess, Chu Chanyue?"

Hearing this, the woman in white suddenly said, a few days ago, it was rumored that the tomb of the great general was about to appear, and His Majesty the King decreed that if anyone can obtain the "Thunder Sound Marksmanship", he will be able to marry the fifth princess Chu Chanyue to him.

"Who is Ye Yutian?

"I heard that it is a guy with two true qi, and I don't know why I got the inheritance before Cao Yuefeng. However, it is said that yesterday Cao Yuefeng sent a battle post to the princess's mansion to challenge Ye Yutian. ”

Xiao Cui thought for a moment, and then said, "Miss, which of the two do you think will win?"

After yesterday's battle post, the matter has been spread in the royal city.

Obviously, the duel must have been deliberately advertised.

Now the entire royal city is discussing the battle between Cao Yuefeng and Ye Yutian, who can win?

One is known as the most outstanding martial arts genius of the younger generation of Dongxuan Kingdom, and the other is a future colt who has obtained the inheritance of the great general.

The woman in white pondered for a moment and said, "Cao Yuefeng will win, after all, he is already a true qi eightfold, and that Ye Yu genius has a true qi double." ”

"Well, I think so too. ”

"That's it, I'll paint another one tonight, and you can take it to the Qianzhuang Chamber of Commerce for auction tomorrow." With that, the woman in white continued to sit down and draw.

"Miss, what if that Ye Yutian copies again?"

The woman in white smiled and said, "He wants to copy this painting, but it's not so simple. ”

Since he is a painting monk, he naturally has some means of his own.

If any painting can be easily copied by others, then it is not a painting monk.

This world is indeed respected by martial arts.

However, in addition to martial arts, there are other ways of doing things.

The reason why martial arts can become the first of many Dao methods is because the threshold is much lower than other Dao methods.

Painting the Tao is one of the many ways to do it.

The woman in white in the Mozhu Pavilion is the disciple of the painter and the author of the "Flying Snow in the Wangcheng", Liu Chuqing.
