Chapter 239: Know Your Heart
The second test is not to test whether the cultivator has mastered the talent for treasure hunting, nor is it to test the depth of the cultivator's knowledge, nor is it to test how powerful the consciousness of the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana stages is.
What Xizhi wanted was Song Ying's natural intuition.
Painting requires inspiration, intuition, and the ability to see the truth behind things. Otherwise, it is just copying, without innovation or transcendence.
"You are good, I am very satisfied with you."
Xizhi looked Song Ying up and down, his expression filled with unconcealable joy.
If the impression of her in the first test was just that of a female cultivator with decent painting skills, then in the second test she was already considered to be half a descendant of the Painting Immortal. As long as her performance in the third test was not too bad, she would definitely receive the Painting Immortal's inheritance.
"Fairy Xizhi, I haven't seen you for five hundred years." Jiang Li greeted Xizhi.
Xi Zhi is indeed a beautiful fairy with regular and delicate features. There is a hint of indifference between her brows, which adds to her charm. No wonder many monks are concerned about her after meeting her.
"I don't know you, I've never seen you before. Who are you?" Xi Zhi refused to recognize Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's paintings five hundred years ago were so ugly that they blinded Xi Zhi's eyes. It took her five hundred years to get out of the shadow.
It's unbelievable that someone's painting skills are that bad.
Of all the paintings Xizhi had seen, Jiang Li's was the worst.
"This is the Human Emperor Jiang Li." Qin Luan introduced him to Fairy Xizhi.
"I didn't think you could become the Human Emperor. I thought it was Xiao Yuyin." Xizhi was still upset that Yuyin did not become the Human Emperor.
At that time, Jiang Li and Yu Yin were only in the Jindan stage, not even candidates for the Human Emperor, but Xi Zhi still saw that both of them had the qualifications to become the Human Emperor, and he was more optimistic about Yu Yin.
"It was just luck." Jiang Li said modestly.
"I heard that after you became a Mahayana, the extraterritorial demons that troubled Kyushu were no longer a problem. You did a good job."
Xi Zhi had asked about Jiang Li's current situation, the cultivator who had entered the secret realm twice before, and knew that he had been doing very well in Jiuzhou since leaving the Yunshui Secret Realm.
"Does Fairy Xizhi know anything about the extraterritorial demons?"
"I don't know. I am just a divine thought of the Painting Fairy. I haven't inherited all of her memories. I don't know as much about the fairy world as the Immortal Master Changcun. If you have any questions, you can ask him. The Immortal Master Changcun is also considered knowledgeable in the fairy world."
Xizhi asked again: "What are you doing here?"
"See if I can inherit the painting fairy's legacy."
Xi Zhi rolled her eyes. If Jiang Li could inherit the skills of the painting fairy, she would drink up the entire pool of ink.
Xizhi left here and went to the third test world where they were waiting.
Aguna was extremely lucky and, without any warning, she accidentally picked a real fruit.
"Now for the third test."
As Xi Zhi finished speaking, everyone was teleported to a new small world.
The second test eliminated more people, and now the only ones still in the secret realm were Jiang Li, Li Er, Qin Luan and the women behind him.
They are all acquaintances who know each other well.
"Excuse me, I have a question." Jiang Li politely interrupted Xi Zhi.
"explain."
"Can you please stop raining? I like sunshine."
In the third world, it was drizzling continuously. Xizhi was standing in front of everyone with a red oil-paper umbrella, looking independent and ethereal.
Xizhi likes to hold a red oil-paper umbrella, and thinks it is very beautiful. However, holding the umbrella directly seems out of place, so every time he appears, he uses his authority to make it drizzle.
In Jiang Li's words, it was fortunate that Xi Zhi had the divine consciousness of an immortal, otherwise she would have suffered from rheumatism long ago.
Mr. Jiang asked if the rain could stop for a while, as he likes sunshine. Does this mean that rain represents difficulties and sunshine represents hope? Although difficulties are numerous and come one after another, as long as we have hope in our hearts and yearn for light, there will be a day when we can ride the wind and waves and see the sun...
Qin Luan analyzed Jiang Li's words and felt that he had gained a lot.
As expected of Mr. Jiang, every move he makes has deep meaning.
Xi Zhi rolled his eyes at Jiang Li, stopped the drizzle, put away the red oil-paper umbrella, and continued, "The third level of painting is to see mountains as mountains and water as water. The third test is to paint the happiest picture in your mind. It can be something that happened in the past, something that will happen in the future, or something that you imagine. There are no limits."
Everyone was stunned and felt that the situation was a bit tricky.
Jiang Li thought about what the happiest scene would be, or in other words, the scene he most wanted to see. He had never thought about this question.
Li Er was also thinking, is marrying Cheng'er the happiest moment in his life?
Or the moment my daughter was born? Or the moment my daughter got married... No, no, no, my daughter's marriage is definitely not a happy moment.
Qin Luan was also wondering what he really wanted, was it to gain Jiang Li's recognition, become the emperor of men, or to become a peerless master and reach the end of the immortal path?
The little fox raised its little paw. It drew the scene of itself returning to its in-body stage and becoming the ruler of Qingqiu again.

"Little fox, are you sure this is your truest thought?"
Xizhi looked at the little fox with a half-smile, which made it feel guilty and huddled up. But it still barked, indicating that this was its life goal.
Xizhi is not omniscient and cannot see the little fox's past and future, nor its truest thoughts, but a painting is a person's soul, and Xizhi can judge through the painting whether the scene in the painting is what the other person thinks.
Xizhi saw hesitation and concealment in the little fox's painting, which meant that this painting was not the happiest moment in its mind.
"You might as well think about it again."
Xizhi left this sentence and left lightly.
The little fox scratched its head with its little paws, looking a little annoyed.
Aguna drew her and Qin Luan and his group walking on the map of Kyushu, meaning that leaving the Gu Clan and Qin Luan and others to adventure in Kyushu was the happiest thing.
Xizhi saw hesitation and concealment in this painting.
"Are you really satisfied with this?" Xi Zhi smiled and turned away.
The painting Song Ying was about getting married to Qin Luan, and there was a group of beauties behind Qin Luan.
"Marry Qin Luan as long as he has you in his heart. Don't you care about his relationship with other women?" Xi Zhi felt that Song Ying was a very interesting person, not only because of the happiest scene, but also because she saw satisfaction in this painting.
This was the happiest thing she hoped would happen.
Song Ying did not hesitate and said directly: "I don't care. My intuition tells me that Qin Luan will meet more beautiful female cultivators in the future. This is inevitable. What I can do is to ensure my position in his heart."
Xizhi didn't say anything and looked for the next person.
Qin Luan drew him sitting in the Human Emperor Palace with a majestic posture.
"Do you want to replace Commander Liu?" This was Xi Zhi's first reaction when he saw someone sitting in the Human Emperor Palace.
"I want to become the Emperor of Man!" Qin Luan corrected.
Xizhi saw confusion and bewilderment in this painting.
"Becoming the emperor is not what you want most. Think about it again."
Xizhi sighed. The most important thing to become an excellent painter is to know one's true heart. This is also the real test of the third level.
Judging from the current situation, Song Ying is the only one who recognizes herself and passes the test.
