Chapter 166: Painting Tools 1

"Brother Wunian, I know you are for my good. However, people always have to grow, and painting is the soul of the painting family, but after the painting family was destroyed, the painting has been living carefree for more than ten years, and now it is time for the painting to contribute to the painting family. And it just so happens that helping Brother Wunian is essentially the same thing as becoming a real painting soul, so Brother Wunian doesn't have to have any burden, because even if I don't meet you, I will continue to pursue the secret of painting souls for the rest of my life. The painting Allure smiled faintly, and his determined appearance was moving and distressing.

Looking at the painting at this moment, Qing Ci lost his mind for a moment, as if at this moment, he finally saw a little bit of the woman's shadow from her body. There are not many things in this world that are worth pursuing all her life, but she is such a special woman, once she has that kind of determination, even if she is sent to hell, she will not change in the slightest.

All the people present focused their attention on Cang Wunian and Painting Allure, only An Ruyue subconsciously set her eyes on Qing Ci. Xu was because Qing Ci didn't know the identity and origin of the painting allure in advance, so she wanted to see what kind of expression he would have when he heard the words "painting clan" and "painting soul".

But to An Ruyue's surprise, Qing Ci's face was neither surprised nor calculated, but seemed to be reminded of some memories, staring at the painting of Allure stupidly.

A bad thought came to my heart, could it be...... Qing Ci used to know Hua Allure? Could it be that he approached Cang Wunian in order to have a chance to get close to Hua Allure? Did he have any intentions for Hua Allure? If so, wouldn't Cang Wunian have a very powerful opponent?

When An Ruyue was secretly worried, Luo Fan's voice interrupted her further thoughts: "Since you have all decided, there is no thought, so let's talk about it, what is recorded on this silk?"

Cang Wunian lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Painting the soul is not something that can be achieved overnight, before that, painting must first learn to draw skin, bones and hearts. ”

"These three are all things that can be referred to in real objects, and it is not difficult to do it, at least I can draw this skin. Luo Fan said.

"Judging from the content on the silk, the painting skin and the painting bone actually belong to the same category, but the painting heart is ...... It's already a little close to the painting soul. Because it is useless to be able to draw it, if the soul painter himself does not have the true understanding of the world, the painting is just an appearance. Cang Wunian explained.

"I'm afraid these aren't the most difficult, right? If you don't have the opportunity to get the Heaven and Earth Treasures as painting tools, no matter how much you realize, it's in vain. Luo Fan sighed.

"Not bad. Now it seems that although the things recorded on this silk seem to be difficult for a strong man, but on the other hand, if you really have the perseverance to find it and have the opportunity to get it, presumably the twists and turns that such a person has experienced on the way to the treasure hunt are enough to grow into a real painting soul. Cang Wunian nodded, but his face became a little solemn.

"Brother Wunian, then tell me quickly, what kind of treasures can be used as painting tools for painting souls?" asked Hua Chengcheng very eagerly.

Cang Wunian glanced at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "The four treasures of the study are indispensable. Let's talk about this first, it is naturally a mirage pen of the painting family, but painting different things requires a nib of different materials. To put it simply, all materials that can be dipped in ink can be used as a nib, but to achieve the level required for painting, you need to obtain ice silk. ”

"Ice silk? This thing sounds familiar. Jun Yixuan subconsciously muttered.

"Yes, it's the one you think is familiar. Cang Wunian glanced at him and affirmed his thoughts.

"There is a rumor that there is an ice silkworm in the East China Sea's Yuanqiao Mountain, which is seven inches long, black in color, and has horns. Cover it with frost and snow, and then make a cocoon. The cocoon is a long ruler, its color is colorful, woven into the brocade, it is not wet into the water, it is not burned when it enters the fire, this is the origin of the ice silk. Speaking of which, the location of this thing is not far away from us, but this mountain is ...... It is said to be on a strange island in the East China Sea, and the location of the island changes with each passing mile, so there is no chart that can mark its exact location. Therefore, although this ice silk is familiar to the world, there are very few people who are fortunate enough to get it. Luo Fan said thoughtfully.

"Then can this ice silk be used as a pen tip when painting souls?"

Cang Wunian sighed and shook his head: "No." If you want to draw a soul, you need to use Dragon Silk. ”

"What is that?" asked Hua Chengcheng with a confused expression.

"Beyond the South China Sea, there are mermaids, with a human body and a fishtail, a gentle temperament, and a beautiful appearance. And the merman has three treasures, which are the merman tears, the merman ointment and the shark silk yarn. Before Cang Wunian could speak, Qingci opened his mouth to explain.

"Isn't that the 'merman ......cry' we often hear? Literally, it sounds like it's referring to the merman's cream, and as for the shark silk, could it be that it's the 'dragon silk'?" asked Hua Chengcheng in surprise.

Qing Ci's gaze swept over the painting and looked at Cang Wunian, only to see that Cang Wunian happened to be looking at him, and he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, it seemed that he was waiting for his next explanation with interest.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Qing Ci estimated that even if he said that he didn't understand the specific situation at this time, no one present would believe him, so he might as well tell everything he knew: "Miss Allure is right, 'Shark Crying Pearl' refers to the tears shed when the shark is crying can be turned into pearls." As for the merman anointing...... This is really cruel. The mana of the merman is not strong, but they are almost full of treasures, so they have also attracted the covetousness and aggression of many foreign races. Most of the sharks who were captured alive were inevitably forced to cry beads, and when the tears flowed out of blood and tears, they were not far from death, and at this time, the ointment in their bodies would be taken out and boiled into merman ointment, which would last forever once lit, which was the lamp oil of the so-called 'ever-bright lamp'. ”

Speaking of this, Qing Ci paused, because except for Cang Wunian and Luo Fan, everyone else present was shocked after hearing the explanation of this "merman ointment". They naturally knew about the Everbright Lamp, but they never thought that the lamp oil of the Everbright Lamp was actually refined in such a heinous way.

Luo Fan frowned, sighed and said, "Let's talk about Long Xuan." When you mention the shark people, could it be that this dragon silk is referring to the shark silk yarn?"

Qing Ci nodded first, and then shook his head: "Long Silk is indeed a kind of Shark Silk Yarn, but Shark Silk Yarn is not precious among the Shark people, but this Dragon Silk ...... But it's something that is rare in 10,000 years. ”

"What is the origin of this dragon silk?" Aunt Hui couldn't help but ask.

"Every kind of creature between heaven and earth is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the merman is naturally no exception. The mermaids are divided into levels by the color of their scales, the most common of which is the black-scaled merman, who are equivalent to the ordinary people in the human world, and the shark silk yarn that can be seen by foreign races is basically from their hands. There are silver scales on top of the black scales, and this silver-scaled merman is about equivalent to the merchant nobles in the human world, and above the silver scale is the golden scale, and the golden-scaled merman is already the imperial nobleman among the mermen. And only the shark silk yarn woven by the Golden Shark King can be called 'Dragon Silk'. Qing Ci said slowly.

"Golden Shark King, what is so special about this 'dragon silk', and why does it have to be made by the Shark King?" asked Hua Chengcheng with surprise and confusion.

"This ...... We have to start with the physique of the merman. As I said earlier, the mana of the mermaids is not very strong, so the biggest weapon they rely on to fight is their shark scales, which are extremely thick and tough, covering the surface of the body for defense, like indestructible battle armor, if attacked, the shark scales will stand up one by one, like a sharp short spear. However, the golden shark is an exception among the mermaids, and the golden shark is born very fragile and squeamish, and is prone to early death, which is also an important reason for the scarcity of the golden shark.

"Compared with the silver shark and the black shark, the mana of the golden shark is far above them, but on the contrary, the flesh of the silver shark and the black shark is much stronger than that of the golden shark. Among the golden sharks, only the golden shark woman can become the king of the golden shark, but the shark woman's shark scales themselves are much weaker than the shark man, and the golden shark woman is even more so. In order to make up for the lack of physical body, each shark king will unload the golden scales of his whole body before he feels that his limit is approaching, and use the last mana and essence blood to weave a set of golden scale armor, which can be fused with the golden scales of the current shark king to become a stronger and stronger battle armor. And this armor made of gold scales is the 'dragon silk'. ”

Qing Ci elaborated on the characteristics of the merman clan in one breath, and when the words fell, there was silence in the room.

In addition to Cang Wunian, including Luo Fan, these things are unheard of by them, after hearing the origin of this "dragon silk", their instinctive reaction is to worry, this dragon silk is so precious, almost equivalent to half a life of the Golden Shark King, not to mention how they can find the Golden Shark King, even if they find it, how can people give them their own net worth?

And only Cang Wunian's eyes were slightly condensed at this time, he was not thinking about how to find the Golden Shark King to get Long Xuan, but secretly speculating about Qing Ci's true identity. The Shura tribe itself is located in the southern part of the South China Sea, in the Jialan Sea, although it is still very far away from the location of the merman, but with his memory of many things that he does not know the source, he knows that what Qingci says is true.
