Although the Lingling County Sword Immortal Residence covers a huge area, it is not conspicuous.

The creeper on the wall makes it more elegant. This is in stark contrast to those magnificent wind and rain buildings.

At the door of the Sword Immortal Residence, a big man with a snail and a beard walked in with three scrolls on his back.

The art treasures are either hung on the left and right, or placed on protruding wooden panels. Every three meters, a guard stands guard.

Walking to the central management office, Dahan put the scroll he was carrying in front of the stage.

"My master wants to sell the treasure here!"

An old man with a beard opened the picture scroll that the big man put on the stage and carefully reviewed it. By the time of the third painting, he had not opened half of the scroll before he put it away, and smiled dumbly.

"Thirty taels!"

There are two situations for the works of Sword Immortal Residence, the first is acquisition, that is, defective products that cannot be exhibited. The second type is exhibited, and the commission is based on the price of the sale. Obviously, what Dahan brought was defective.

"One piece?" asked the big man.

"All!"

Dahan thought about it, put away the scroll and left.

When Dahan walked out of the Sword Immortal Residence, he took out the three picture scrolls. He shook his head, and then a golden force shook, and the three scrolls turned into flying ashes.

This bearded man is Yun Xian in disguise.

"That's how I really are..."

No one else could hear it, but a woman's voice sounded in Dahan's head.

"You didn't take the route of art in the first place!"

Yun Xian took a long breath, then bowed his head and left.

In the secret room, Yun Xian took out a lot of books and painting tools from the Tongyun Ring as soon as he returned.

Now I still have seven stunts that I haven't learned, 700,000 taels, plus 100,000 taels for a month.

"No wonder most people die of old age at most!" Yun Xian sighed.

Come to think of it, ordinary people are slow to cultivate without the guidance of a master. It also costs so much money to buy stunts, mental methods, not to mention horcruxes, spirit weapons.

It would take almost a lifetime to make that much money alone!

Although he has the teachings of Shenyu, he can't conjure up silver. If you don't have a means to make money, do you really have to rely on Lian Yue'er to feed?

Therefore, Yun Xian intends to pay attention to both cultivation and art in painting.

It's easy to say, though. In terms of art, who is not a firm mind, who is not the best among people? If you want to excel among these people, you must not be an amateur alone. However, Yun Xian believes that although he said that he was painting for the purpose of cultivation, he was inherently inferior to others in terms of art. But as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to cultivate and improve your artistic value at the same time.

In this way, Yun Xian practiced painting while practicing swords in the secret room.

The maid brought three meals on time every day, and the guards never came to ask Yun Xian what to do.

In the middle of spring, the earth is full of fresh green, and everything is full of life.

Shengwutang is the military and political department of the Lian family, and it is the administrative place of the Lian family's military camp in the city.

At this moment, a young man with a sword walked in.

The boy was obviously familiar with this place, and he did not hesitate to walk along a path of direction on the dense stone road.

On the road, sometimes there are group leaders, sometimes some guards, and sometimes some generals of the army.

The young man was very thin, with a ponytail and a beautiful face. In stark contrast to the figures of the army, he was like a weak straw. But it was such a young man who was not interesting according to common sense, but everyone who passed by him would look at him more.

"He's a Cloud Warrior?"

There were two big men with tigers on their backs and bears looking at the young man who walked in in surprise.

The Cloud Scholar level is not uncommon in the county town, and what is rare is that this young man who is only sixteen or seventeen years old is actually a Cloud Scholar level!

You must know that a normal person has completed his cultivation from the martial arts hall and joined the family to get the cultivation of the family. Even if the talent is extremely high, he is still thirty or forty years old when he reaches the cloud level.

But this young man is the pinnacle of the cloud master!!

The young man ignored everyone and walked straight inside with his sword.

"Should be a guard!"

"What?" the big man looked at the guy in disbelief.

"Don't?" the boy frowned.

The big man glanced at the young man again in surprise, and said with some suspicion: "You are... Cloud-level... Peak?"

The peak of the cloud level, he is still such a young teenager. At such a level, would you be willing to come to the family to be a guard?

Lian Hong knew that they didn't believe it, and said lightly: "I just came back from Nanban training, and I am going to seek a position in the family to earn some silver and two to buy stunts, and I will plan after the thirteen stunts are full!"

Before the Cloud Emperor level, everyone would not be able to restrain their breath. So the realm is easy to be checked, but it is impossible to find out whether the stunts are full or not.

Dahan suddenly realized and exclaimed: "You are amazing, you dare to break into the Nanban at a young age, this superhuman ability is well deserved!"

"Let's test!"

"No need, you still need to test as a guard in this realm, and you can catch up with our Young Master Lian Hong!"

Lian Hong smiled dumbly, he was Lian Hong...

Half a month later.

In the secret room, the wall lamps scattered on the walls emit a leisurely glow.

This wall lamp is made of light spirit stone, which can emit a whiter light than the sun, and is a high-end item for lighting.

At this time, Yun Xian put down the wolf in his hand and picked up the picture scroll that had just been completed.

"Shenyu, how's it going?"

"I have made a lot of progress in the past half a month, and I can be regarded as a master. However, you can only be considered a work of art at the bottom. I just have the qualifications to enter the Sword Immortal Residence, and I can sell it for four or five hundred taels!"

Yun Xian nodded, the power in his hand exploded, and the scroll turned into powder.

In addition to spending three or four hours practicing swords, I basically read books, studied painting, and practiced painting for half a month. Even so, on the road of art, it can only be regarded as the bottom of the defective product. The difficulty can be seen.

It is no wonder that he stands out among many heroes and is admired by the world.

It's so hard!

In the current Haoyue Empire, with the rise of culture step by step, great artists are more and more respected by the people. The people may look down on an ordinary person who has no realm, but they will definitely admire a great artist without a realm, and several of the 13 Taibao have befriended artists whose strength is much lower than them.

Shenyu said solemnly: "You have completely mastered the skills of painting now, but your works still lack an aura!"

Yun Xian listened to Shenyu's words and nodded.

Many books about painting end up mentioning the idea of the subject matter of painting.

Only when the painting contains the meaning can the whole work come alive like the finishing touch.

Art is really a skill that determines the level of its value after the skill is ripe.

This is like practicing a sword, for every move and every style is extremely standard, and it can only be regarded as familiar. For each trick and every style, what kind of effect can be achieved under what circumstances, and what weaknesses need to be paid attention to under what circumstances, this can only be regarded as a coincidence. Only by comprehending the meaning created by a whole set of sword intent can this be meaning. Only by reaching the master of the latter can it be regarded as a real master, and can the original power of the move be exerted!

Thinking of this, Yun Xian was suddenly stunned.

"yes, yes! I've always been too limited, too limited. ”

Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "What do you think of?"

"At the beginning, I thought of Lian Yue'er in order to refine the demon pestle, and now all my themes are concentrated on Lian Yue'er, which greatly limits my creative space!"

Xiao Xiao was a little suspicious: "Yes, why do you keep painting her, she is not as good as me!"

The little seller winked at Yun Xian cutely.

Shenyu was curious: "What subject are you going to paint?"

"Practice your sword with a painting!"

Yun Xian spoke his thoughts.

What is the meaning of practicing swordsmanship by drawing? It is to draw every move and style of swordsmanship.

This may seem simple, but it's not.

Yun Xian's mind to practice swords with painting is to understand Ziyun's swordsmanship at a deeper level while painting.

Painting is to first appear in the mind the subject matter to be painted, and then sketch it little by little. In this way, every detail and every action must be deliberated over and over again in the mind.

Now, in the past half a month of cultivation, he has mastered the moves of the Purple Cloud Sword Technique to the level of familiarity. Practice makes perfect, only after ingenuity can we comprehend the meaning, and only after the intention can we find another way, and the next step is the cultivation of 'skill' and 'meaning'. Yun Xian has an intuition that such a way can help the cultivation of 'skill' and 'meaning'.

As soon as he thought of it, Yun Xian put the scroll back on the picture scroll and picked up the wolf's hair.
