"This painting is 'White Shrimp Playing in Water' by Master Jing'an. Master Jing'an is a master of calligraphy and painting in the city and has been renowned for decades."
“Well, this painting is good. The shrimps seem to be still and moving, and all that exquisiteness is captured in the painting. This person’s level of attainment is not low.” Yi Ming nodded.
"This painting was created by Master Qingfu. It is called "Splendid Scenery" and depicts the scene during the temple fair in Jingtian City."
"There are many characters, with different expressions and various expression techniques. This painting is also good, better than the previous painting "White Shrimp"."
The middle-aged man looked excited. He led Yi Ming deeper into the store and continued to introduce, "This painting is called "Rain Flower Picture" and was created by Master Heng Xin."
"The rain falls softly, and the flowers are soft and tender. It looks cold, but it is actually sweet." Yi Ming nodded, "This painting is also good."
At this point, Yi Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart skipped a beat, "I found you."
Although he did not disguise himself, Yi Ming still subconsciously did not want to tell his real name. After all, if the matter was not kept secret and Tianyi Zhenjun escaped, a fake name could at least confuse people.

"Master Qi," Master Hengxin said, "I wonder what kind of painting Master Qi is good at?"
"Haha, Master Hengxin, you are too polite. You have been immersed in painting for decades and have achieved great accomplishments. I have also benefited a lot from it."
Now that Zhang Daqian has come out, another Qi Baishi won’t be a big problem.
…
"You are too polite, sir."
On the second day, the middle-aged man took Yi Ming to Master Qingfu's courtyard in the north of the city. Yi Ming did not expect that Master Qingfu was actually a woman. No wonder she had a delicate mind and could paint such a high-quality "Scenery Picture".
Yi Ming's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Exactly. Actually, I like lively places, too."
"Don't worry, it's just a conversation. If I want to buy paintings, I will come to Wanhua Pavilion."
In the "Rain Flower Picture", the mysterious aura was about to dissipate. It was obvious that the artist had not had much time to be close to the Golden Core Ancestor.
"I'll wait for you in the pavilion tomorrow morning. Shall we go visit Master Hengxin again?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously.
Of course, this matter cannot be confirmed yet. What if they are in a paper shop or a papermaking workshop?
"That's good. I want to visit these masters." Yi Ming said, "I also learn painting and want to communicate with these masters."
"Great!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed. With this deal, he made back all his profit for a month.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. That's not what I meant." The middle-aged man smiled flatteringly and said insincerely.
"Exactly."
So Yi Ming combined the knowledge he had gained from his painting skills with some painting techniques from his previous life on Earth, and began to brag to Master Heng Xin. Some of the things were indeed novel and had never even appeared in this world, which left Master Heng Xin stunned.
"Master Hengxin has been in Jingtian City for about ten years, but he has always lived here. I advised him to move to a quieter courtyard, but he was unwilling to do so, saying that he was used to it."
Yi Ming nodded. This was where ordinary people lived. There were all kinds of people. Ordinary cultivators would never come here. For example, Yi Ming lived in Yongping Town before, and he would not live in a hodgepodge of places. "Master Hengxin, are you home?" The middle-aged man knocked on the door and asked loudly, "There is a young man who is also a painter. He wants to communicate with you. He has visited Master Jing'an and Master Qingfu in the past few days. Are you home?"
Compared to the mess outside, the courtyard is much cleaner, but it is still ordinary, and is worse than the environment of Master Jing'an and Master Qingfu's homes.
Yi Ming waved his folding fan and asked with a smile, "Do all of you live in Jingtian City?"
"You're welcome. You are so elegant and graceful, and your demeanor is extraordinary. Hengxin is flattered. Please come in!" Master Hengxin made way and invited Yi Ming and the owner of Wanhua Pavilion to come in.
"Call me Qi Baishi." Yi Ming said with a smile.
On the third day, there was a place in the west of the city with a strong smell of fireworks.
…
Just like Yi Ming had revealed chess manuals from the game world, he had also revealed some painting skills that were similar to auxiliary functions and life skills, and he had reached perfection without realizing it. Although they were all white and green skills, they were enough to deal with the situation at hand.
"Hello, Master Hengxin." Yi Ming closed the folding fan in his hand, bowed and smiled, "I have always liked painting. Recently, I have been traveling around and came to Jingtian City. I accidentally found several good paintings in Wanhua Pavilion. So I was delighted and wanted to visit all the painters and have some exchanges."
"These paintings are all good, buy them all for me." Yi Ming said.
The "Rain Flower Picture" must have passed through the hands of the Jindan Patriarch.
Listening to the noise outside, Yi Ming also asked, "Master Hengxin can still paint calmly in this environment. I admire you."
In the afternoon, the middle-aged man went out personally and accompanied Yi Ming to Master Jing'an's home. Yi Ming and Master Jing'an chatted for a long time and had a very pleasant conversation. Master Jing'an even invited Yi Ming to have a meal with him. Finally, Yi Ming left a painting of "Koi" as a gift before leaving, which Master Jing'an loved very much.
Master Hengxin invited Yi Ming and the middle-aged man to the side room for guests, brewed a pot of tea for them, and sat with them.
"I feel that Master Hengxin's paintings are better than those of Master Jing'an and Master Qingfu." Yi Ming clapped his hands with his folding fan. "Master Jing'an painted shrimps, and Master Qingfu painted people. After all, they are all living things, so it is relatively easy to show their changes. But Master Hengxin used rain and flowers to show a vibrant scene, which is extremely rare."
The wooden door was gently opened, revealing a thin figure. The man looked Yi Ming up and down, "Hello, sir."
"Okay!" Yi Ming acted very casually and freely.
"Please!" Yi Ming stepped into the courtyard.
"So, Master Hengxin is the True Lord Tianyi?" Yi Ming thought to himself.
"I'm used to it." Master Hengxin smiled, "There are more people around, and it feels more lively. I like liveliness."
"this……"
After another day of chatting, Yi Ming left behind a painting of "Ladies Appreciating Flowers" before leaving, and once again received a wave of gratitude.
“Squeak!”
During the conversation between the two, it was of course impossible for Yi Ming to be the only one talking. Master Heng Xin occasionally interjected a few words, but he always got to the point, which showed his profound background.
When it was noon, Yi Ming asked Master Heng Xin to go out for lunch. Master Heng Xin didn't want to go far, so they just found a small shop outside the courtyard and had something to eat.
After returning to the courtyard after dinner, Yi Ming also visited the quiet room where Master Heng Xin painted. Finally, he still left a painting of "Strange Rocks" before leaving with the owner of Wanhua Pavilion.
"Today, Master Qi and I hit it off immediately and I benefited a lot from our visit. I still have some old paintings here. Why don't you come again tomorrow to appreciate them and give me some suggestions?" Master Heng Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." The confusion in Yi Ming's eyes flashed away, and he nodded subconsciously and agreed.
