Chapter Twenty-Three: Female Painters

After the two brothers Chen Yong and Chen Cong left, Meng Zhou was still thinking about this in his heart.

His focus is no longer on Chen Cong's ability to sell, although he was also surprised when he first heard about it, but after communicating with the two brothers, he thought about it at this moment, but it was another question.

He and the Chen brothers are in a cooperative relationship, and the status of both parties is equal.

To put it bluntly, this relationship was also obtained by some means, and if he couldn't become a talisman maker before his brothers' expectations of him were exhausted, he wouldn't even be able to maintain this relationship.

Naturally, their actions are not controlled by themselves, and they have the freedom to do whatever they want, whatever they decide.

These decisions can be good or bad.

And all his affairs outside the miscellaneous house are now taken care of by the two brothers, and the good things are not his share, but the bad things are likely to affect him.

If we want to put an end to this possibility, we must change the current way of getting along.

He wants to have a greater say, redefine the master-slave relationship between the two sides, and he can demand from them in the form of commands, what can be done and what cannot be done.

And to do this, his current cultivation is far from enough. For practitioners, cultivation is the absolute yardstick by which everything is measured.

In addition, the craft of talisman making should also be introduced as soon as possible.

If cultivation is a whip, then this craft is a carrot.

If you want others to obey, you must have a whip, and even more so a carrot, both of which are indispensable.

"In two days, my cultivation should be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi cultivation and advance to the middle stage of Qi training, which is also the final height that this body has ever reached.

Since then, every step has been a bumpy new path, and the progress of the practice can no longer be as fast as before, so it is time to adjust the pace of practice. ”

"The mana in the middle stage of Qi cultivation is more than enough to make basic talismans.

The only thing lacking is that the mana control is not refined and stable enough, but with the continuous breakthrough of the Golden Mangjutsu, this phenomenon has also improved significantly.

After this breakthrough in cultivation, I will focus on the Golden Mangshu again, and strive to break through again in a short period of time.

At that point, it is time to devote all of your energy to the trial production of the talisman. ”

……

Two days later, late at night.

As the last round of cultivation came to an end today, the mana of Dead Wood Changchun Gong was like suddenly climbing a steep slope and reaching a new height.

This kind of experience, in just over a month, Meng Zhou has experienced it many times in a row, but he did not panic at all, and after finishing the work in a hurry, he carefully experienced the taste of breaking through the third layer of qi training to the fourth layer of qi training.

Compared with the previous breakthroughs, this breakthrough has brought greater changes, the mana has become more condensed and mellow, and the mana power has also been significantly improved.

The upper limit of life expectancy has been increased by four years, which is twice as high as the previous breakthrough at the small level.

However, the joy after the breakthrough lasted until the next morning.

After some attempts, Meng Zhou found that whether it was the effect of spiritual food or the cultivation of exercises, the effect was sharply reduced.

Although this was already expected by him, seeing this steep drop in data, Meng Zhou still inevitably regretted it in his heart.

According to the plan, starting today, he will put more effort into the golden mangjutsu in order to strive for this spell to go further as soon as possible.

His cultivation would be reduced from two rounds a day to one a day, and with the use of spiritual food, he could barely stabilize his daily practice progress at +2.

And a lot of this spare time was used by Meng Zhou to cultivate the Golden Mangjutsu.

Although, after the Golden Mangshu reached Xiaocheng, it would take more to achieve the same progress than when he was at the beginning, but Meng Zhou now spent more time on it, and as his cultivation advanced to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, his mana was more abundant, and he didn't need to breathe back from time to time, and his daily progress was faster than before.

After practicing quietly for two days, Meng Zhou had to suspend his practice, and as soon as he informed the Chen family brothers, he carried a stack of talismans and an earthy yellow bag around his waist and headed towards the mountain protection array.

Go in early in the morning and come out in the middle of the afternoon.

When passing by Deacon Huang's courtyard, Meng Zhou paused, looked down at the bulging bag on his waist, and did not go up directly to knock on the door, but returned home first, took off the bag, and took a shower for solemnity, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then went out.

"Bang bang-" Meng Zhou knocked on the knocker lightly.

After a while, the courtyard door opened silently, and a passage leading to the living room appeared in the fog and shadow array.

Meng Zhou stepped in, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the living room, he said, "Senior......"

Only then did he see the situation in the living room clearly, and the mouth that had just opened was directly stuck there.

Deacon Huang was not in the living room at all, a pretty and graceful woman was sitting behind a long table, holding a pen and carefully sketching what was being depicted.

"Please wait for me." Her attention was almost entirely on the tips of her fingers, and when she felt someone entering the room, she didn't dare to look up, but she didn't dare to look more when she whispered a reminder.

Meng Zhou didn't care about these at the moment, looking at the lines that came out of her pen, his heart moved, and he didn't bother silently, and quietly took two steps forward in order to see more carefully.

His eyes stared unblinkingly at her posture of moving the pen and the ease with which he used the strokes lightly and lightly, and then thought of his several failed attempts to make talismans, Meng Zhou felt that he had benefited greatly and was quite inspired.

As her lines are outlined and her strokes spread, the image of a female cultivator in her clothes and fairy posture becomes more and more vivid and concrete.

When the last pause of her pen tip was closed, she pointed out a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and Meng Zhou, who was watching her birth, suddenly felt a wonderful feeling, the fairy on the paper seemed to come to life, and it seemed that she was about to leave the paper at any time and appear in this world.

The woman held a pen in her right hand, dragged her right elbow with her left hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally reached out and crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastepaper basket on the side.

Seeing that the fairy in the painting was crumpled into a ball of garbage so quickly, Meng Zhou's heart couldn't help but twitch hard.

The woman rested the pen on the pen holder, gently rubbed her wrist with her left hand, and looked at Meng Zhou.

"You're Lao Zhou, right? Huang Bin was assigned other tasks by the sect in the past two days and was not at home...... But before leaving, he mentioned you. ”

As she spoke, she had taken out eleven medium-grade spirit stones from her bag and handed them to Meng Zhou.

“…… Well, is there anything else you can do? She saw that Meng Zhou stretched out his hand to take the spirit stone but did not say goodbye and left, but continued to stand there in a daze, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart.

Although she rarely dealt with the miscellaneous servants in the miscellaneous house, she was under the same roof as Huang Bin, and she knew a little about it, such as the erosive life of the person in front of her.

It's been a little perked up for more than a month, but at his age, what can he do if he cheers up.

What's more, some people are like that, they will be cruel to themselves when they are in a desperate situation, but once the situation eases a little, they will relapse into the old ways.

The person in front of her has a criminal record, and now she is alone in the same room, although she has never been proud of her appearance, but she is also very confident, who can guarantee that this old man will not do something foolish.

Inevitably, things are out of control, both sides are ugly, she quietly released the breath of the late stage of Qi training, and she has an awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament.

Meng Zhou was also awakened by her sudden outgoing momentum, and no longer hesitated, and said directly: "Senior, you are still a painter?" ”
