This time, it took more than an hour before Tang Bohu stopped writing.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. His body felt a little tired, but he was full of energy and in a very good mood.

He clearly felt that his painting skills had made great progress.

When Ye Fan saw the lifelike portrait and felt the hidden aura contained in it, he was quite satisfied.

After talking to him for a few words, he put away the drawing paper and left.

The two portraits greatly changed people's impression of Tang Bohu.

Even the most ignorant person could see that the portrait was extraordinary.

However, the cup of Ancestral Blood Wine that Ye Fan took out made some guys who were ready to make a move regretfully give up the idea.

Fifty thousand space-time coins are a drop in the bucket for Ye Fan, but most other people do not think it is a small amount.

Even Yu Huatian, who was originally interested, gave up.

On the contrary, Sea King Arthur, who was in the crowd, saw that no one spoke, so he stood up and said, "Brother, how about drawing a picture for me?"

"But I have limited time and space coins on hand, and I can only take out 5,000. I can give you some weapons such as guns." He added.

The palace of Atlantis was too empty. If there was a portrait of himself hanging there, so that people passing by could admire his honor, wouldn't it be very prestigious? Arthur touched his chin, quite tempted.

Tang Bohu was stunned.

He originally thought that Ye Fan had made a fortune by asking him to paint his portrait and giving him such an extraordinary wine, but he didn't expect that someone else would rush to give him money.

However, five thousand time and space coins is also a huge sum of money, and he doesn't want people to think he is greedy.

He waved his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "You don't have to give me the time and space coins, just buy me a drink!"

As he spoke, he took the wine that Li Bai had refilled on the table and said with a smile, "This will do."

As he spoke, he poured the wine in the glass into his mouth and said, "It's good wine."

This wine naturally could not be compared with the extraordinary wines in the tavern, but it tasted much better than those he had tasted before.

He said this simply to express his attitude.

In such a place where gods gathered, he didn't want to appear too materialistic.

In fact, he felt honored to be able to paint portraits of these god-like figures, even if he didn't take a penny.

Li Bai was a little embarrassed that he could not even pay a single Space-Time Coin when he saw others paying. He patted Tang Bohu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, you are so noble. When I get some good wine, I will definitely ask you to taste it first!"

Tang Bohu resisted the urge to grimace and nodded in thanks, but secretly complained about how strong Li Bai's grip was.

Seeing that the others were looking at him with admiration, he also smiled.

Some people who wanted to ask for paintings but thought they didn't have many time-space coins became hesitant to speak after seeing this.

They can't afford 50,000 space-time coins, and they feel the pain in the ass for 5,000 space-time coins. So what about 500, or 50?

Tang Bohu's paintings are rare and full of spirit, and it is very face-saving to show them to others.

Seeing someone wanted to talk, Sea King Arthur stood in front of Tang Bohu, straightened his body and said, "Everyone wait, I was here first!"

He then took out a glass of fine wine from his ring.

He bought this from a tavern some time ago and had originally intended to give it to his younger brother, but that stupid guy had a quarrel with him, so he never gave it away.

"This cup of divine gene wine is for you." He handed it to Tang Bohu.

Hearing his words, Tang Bohu waved his hands repeatedly.

He knew about the God's Gene Wine, which was sold for five thousand Space-Time Coins and could randomly enhance physical fitness within a hundred times, with a chance of gaining superpowers.

On the wine list, this glass of wine is specifically marked with the word "best-selling".

"This is Arthur, known as the Sea King. He is the king of Atlantis," Yu Huatian introduced with a smile, "Atlantis is the most fertile ocean kingdom. Arthur is much richer than the average emperor."

Arthur raised an eyebrow smugly.

Tang Bohu then took over: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

After taking the wine glass, he wanted to put it down.

But looking at Arthur's expectant face, he put the wine to his lips again.

Now he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and a glass of wine like this was enough to bring him back to his best condition, so he should drink it as soon as possible.

Besides, he was very curious and even full of expectations about what he could get from such a glass of wine.

Tony had just entered the pub a few minutes ago.

Seeing that many people were gathering around Tang Bohu, he couldn't help but stop Peter who was peeking around and ask what had happened.

After learning the whole story, Tony suddenly realized.

A very famous newcomer in Chinese history, with excellent painting skills, the characters he painted are vivid and full of spirit, and he is currently painting portraits for people.

When Tony was looking at the portrait in Li Bai's hand, he suddenly heard the conversation between Tang Bohu and Arthur.

After hearing that Tang Bohu drank the God's Gene Wine, his eyes lit up slightly.

Peter only said a few words, but they mentioned Tang Bohu's tragic fate.

Just now when Li Bai, Tang Bohu and others were chatting, Peter and others were listening secretly.

So Tony was in high spirits at this time.

Such an unlucky guy, surely his luck wouldn't be good? Under his gaze, Tang Bohu's wine glass was soon empty.

Seeing Tang Bohu narrow his eyes and his aura slightly changing, everyone except Tony became interested.

"Brother Tang, how is it?" Yu Huatian asked first.

Like everyone else, he was very interested in what Tang Bohu could get from this glass of wine.

Tang Bohu opened his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously.

He looked up at the few people and said with surprise, "Eighty-eight times the physical strength, and one more ability."

Hearing this, Tony shrugged and touched his nose in boredom.

He subconsciously glanced at Su Luo who was sitting by the window not far away, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

The others congratulated Tang Bohu one after another.

This harvest is considered good compared with that of other guests in the tavern.

But everyone was more curious about something else.

Arthur asked for them: "What ability?"

Tang Bohu frowned and thought for a moment, then answered, "Give the painting a soul."

Everyone was surprised.

Tang Bohu smiled and said, "When I finish the painting, you will know."

He nodded at Arthur.

Arthur was full of curiosity. Seeing this, he took out his golden trident, stood in place, and struck a pose that he thought looked handsome.

Tang Bohu stared at him, looking him up and down for a long time before he began to write.

His physical condition at this time was much different from when he first entered the tavern, and he was full of energy, so it only took him less than half an hour to complete a lifelike painting.

There was a little sweat on his forehead, but he was in high spirits.

With his current physical condition, the cost of painting such a picture is well within his tolerable range.

The others turned their eyes to the portrait.

He stared away, slightly startled.

The portrait was in the traditional oriental ink painting style, but it was extremely detailed and realistic, especially the bravery that came to his face at first glance, which made him almost think that another Aquaman was about to jump out of the painting.

He finally understood why everyone gathered here.

He had met many artists, including some very famous painters, but he had never heard of anyone who could capture the spirit and charm of a character in such a way.

For a moment, even Tony had the urge to ask for the painting.

Arthur put away his weapon, picked up the painting, looked it up and down, and said "good" three times.

It’s totally worth spending five thousand time and space coins!

He patted Tang Bohu's shoulder heavily and said, "Great!"

Tang Bohu's smile was a little forced.

After drinking the God's Gene Wine, the shoulder that was slightly injured by Li Bai had recovered to normal, but he never expected that this guy would hit him again.

Fortunately, his physical condition has improved a lot and the discomfort soon disappeared.

He silently moved his shoulder away from Arthur's hand, worried that the guy would hit him again.

"Weren't you asking about my abilities just now? I can demonstrate them through this painting." Tang Bohu said.

"Come on, let me see it!" Arthur handed the painting to Tang Bohu.

His eyes were shining with anticipation.

Tang Bohu did not take it, but instead pointed his finger at the painting.

A circle of faint aura fluctuations spread out, and the person in the painting suddenly raised the golden trident and took a step forward.

"Shh! " A sound came from the drawing paper.

When Arthur saw the figure standing in front of him, who looked almost exactly like him, he was obviously stunned.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the figure turn into some colorful spots of light and disappear.

His portrait reappeared on the drawing paper that had turned blank.

Tang Bohu explained: "After the painting is possessed by a spirit, the time it takes to manifest depends on the strength of the object in the painting itself."

Seeing that Arthur wanted to speak, he sighed and said, "The charm I painted is only one tenth of yours. If I could paint the whole charm, I'm afraid this ability would be useless."

Arthur scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Seeing that no one else spoke, he also closed his mouth and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is!"

He changed the subject and asked if he could do this and summon himself from the painting, but Tang Bohu shook his head regretfully: "Not now, but when my ability improves, maybe I can do it."

He had a vague intuition about this.

However, he had no idea how to make his abilities stronger.

Arthur laughed, clasped his fists and said familiarly: "Then I wish Brother Tang a breakthrough soon."

Seeing him happily leaving with the painting, some people who had already had ideas spoke to Tang Bohu.

But after seeing him paint three paintings in succession, the person who spoke again was very considerate and agreed to meet him the next day.

Tang Bohu agreed to all of them.

After a while, the people around him gradually dispersed.

The surroundings finally became quiet and Li Bai let out a sigh of relief.

He was ready to get drunk with a few people today, but unfortunately, with people coming and going around him, he didn't even have time to drink.

Xiao Feng and Yue Fei looked normal, but they no longer looked at Tang Bohu the same way as before.

Before, the two of them had some sympathy for Tang Bohu, but seeing Tang Bohu's high-spirited self now, they even felt a little envious.

Not to mention Tang Bohu's rejuvenation, now with his excellent painting skills, he has a steady source of time and space coins in the tavern, so he doesn't need their pity.

Fortunately, Tang Bohu did not get carried away by this change.

The experiences of so many years had worn away his arrogance and taught him to restrain his edge.

"Brother Tang, what are your plans for the future?" Yu Huatian asked.

Tang Bohu thought for a moment and said, "First, I'll go back and find a reason to leave Prince Ning's Mansion, then travel around the world and hone my painting skills."

Since painting can earn him gifts of fine wine in taverns, he naturally has to study it in depth in order to make great progress, and perhaps even improve his abilities.

Of course, he likes it that way too.

Li Bai nodded secretly after listening.

He was about to agree, but heard Yu Huatian say with a smile: "What if King Ning refuses to let you go?"

Zhu Youjian, who was not far away, turned around when he heard this and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Tang Bohu frowned and said, "If he won't let me go, then I'll leave on my own!"

Yu Huatian shook his head: "Brother Tang, why bother so much."

"Brother Yu, what advice do you have?" Tang Bohu asked sincerely.

He also knew that if he left rashly, he would definitely offend King Ning and bring himself into all kinds of trouble.

But the problem is that if I don't leave, how will I deal with it when the other party rebels? I can't just act crazy and stupid again, right?

Before Yu Huatian entered the tavern, he was already the head of the West Factory. He must have extraordinary insights and might be able to point out a useful path for himself.

Yu Huatian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I wonder what Brother Tang is interested in? Reciting poems and painting? Or governing the country and maintaining peace?"

Tang Bohu smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu, do you think I still have a choice?"

"Why is there no choice?" Xiao Feng was puzzled.

Yue Fei saw what Tang Bohu was thinking and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I'm afraid you don't know what your current change means?"

Tang Bohu looked at it in confusion.

Yue Fei said seriously: "With Brother Tang's current strength, one person is enough to resist thousands of troops!"

Tang Bohu was startled for a moment, and suddenly became thoughtful.

He used to have a scholarly mindset, thinking about doing things within the rules.

Now that he thought about it carefully, with the opportunity in the tavern, he seemed to have the ability to break the rules and even re-write the rules!

Yu Huatian noticed the change in his expression and smiled, "Mediocre people like us have no other way to obtain time and space coins. We exchange them with gold from the national treasury."

His tone gradually became higher: "When Brother Tang learns more about this place, you will know what we can bring to our respective worlds. With such a great opportunity, we should look to the world and bring welfare to the people!"

There was some movement in Tang Bohu's eyes.

Unlike Li Bai, the political ambition in his heart was not completely extinguished.

But when he thought about openly going against the royal family, he couldn't help feeling a little insecure.

Yue Fei also advised: "Since we are born into this world, we should consider the world and the people!"

"If Brother Tang really encounters a problem that he cannot solve, he can also come to the tavern for help." Yu Huatian added fuel to the fire again, introduced him to the Hero Order, and told him about the experiences of some other people who came to the tavern for help.

Listening to what several people were saying, Zhu Youjian looked unhappy and repeatedly cursed them in his heart as "traitors and traitors".
