After spitting it out in one breath, Zhang Xuan rubbed his brows.
Although there were many books in the library of the Calligraphers and Painters Guild, for him, it was just a matter of running around for a while. In less than half an hour, they had all been stored in his mind.
"Although I was able to create calligraphy and painting in the Five Realms before, my understanding of calligraphy and painting was still a bit lacking. With these supplementary books, my knowledge has expanded several times, and I am worthy of the status of a three-star calligraphy and painting artist!"
Looking at the many neat books in the Tiandao Library, Zhang Xuan stretched out.
Although I was able to draw works of the Five Realms with the help of many techniques collected by Master Lu Chen, in fact, I don't know much about the so-called foundation, history, style, school...
Just like Duan Yu, who can use the top-notch Six Meridians Divine Sword and beat the shit out of Murong Fu of Gusu, but has no basic martial arts skills at all. If he fights a gangster, he might not be his opponent.
The same is true for Zhang Xuan. It's easy for him to paint five scenes, but he really can't do it if he's asked to record real scenes.
However, with so many books, this problem is nothing.
As long as you read them all, in terms of knowledge reserve, even the most powerful three-star calligraphers and painters will be far behind. It is even hard to say whether those four-star calligraphers and painters can have his level of knowledge.
"It's just that... the library of the Tianxuan Kingdom, the Beast Hall, the Poison Hall, the Calligraphers and Painters Guild... have collected tens of millions of secret books. If you just rely on reading books, how many years and months will it take you to finish them?"
After collecting the books, new questions came up, which gave him a headache.
After coming from the Tianxuan Kingdom, he has recorded more than ten million books in the Tiandao Library. Although these days, whenever he has free time, he reads books in the Sea of Consciousness, and the speed is very fast, but he can read one or two thousand books a day.
That's the limit. Facing tens of millions of masterpieces...it's basically a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, the more professions he learns, the higher his status, and the more books he will have. If he wants to transform all of these things into his own knowledge, it will not be possible without several years of effort.
"If only there were golden pages..."
Something moved in my heart.
Golden pages, things formed in the Book of Heaven.
You can instantly transform the knowledge from books in the library into your own. If you have this thing, you can easily remember so much content without having to read through them one by one.
"I thought it would be formed by being grateful, but now it seems that it shouldn't be the case! When I was pretending to be Master Yang, I received a lot of gratitude, but it didn't form, which means it's not just this factor!"
Thinking of the Book of Heaven with golden pages, I began to recall when this thing appeared.
He didn't know when the first one appeared, but when the second one appeared, Zhao Ya and others were on the competition stage, trying to challenge Lu Xun and wash away his shame.
At that time, several people expressed their gratitude to him with a strong feeling of teacher and student.
Could it be that... only the gratitude between teachers and students can allow this thing to appear?
Pretending to be Master Yang, those gratitudes are more of awe and are not mixed with this kind of emotion.
“You can try it!”
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up.
For things that cannot be confirmed, others can't do anything about it, but he still has something to do.
He casually took out a blank book, wrote down his guesses, and pressed it lightly with his palm.
Buzz!
There was a shaking, and an identical book appeared in the library.
Open it casually.
"Sincere gratitude to teachers and students can turn into golden pages...! Sure enough, it is so!"
Zhang Xuan's face was filled with excitement when he saw the results on the book.
If I had known that this golden book was formed like this, I was exhausted from reading woolen books all the way and didn't remember much.
"It looks like we have to accept two students. Let's find a way...to make them appreciate it!"
Smile softly.
As long as the golden pages are formed, these books collected in the library can be easily transformed into one's own knowledge.
What he lacks now is knowledge accumulation.
As long as you have enough knowledge, you can easily see other people's flaws and problems even if you don't need to use the Tiandao Library in the future.
"Zhao Ya and the others don't know if they have arrived yet. We can only go to the Famous Master Hall tomorrow to ask. I'm fine now. If I look around, maybe I can find someone to give me some advice, and take in a student by the way..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan stopped worrying about the library and walked out.
After leaving the library, I met the two vice-presidents again. After chatting for a few words, they walked out of the Calligraphers and Painters Guild without staying any longer.
Time is precious, and finding a way to form golden pages is the most important thing.
As soon as he walked out of the guild, a young man walked in from the other side.
It was Lu Xun who had just arrived at Tianwu King City.
The [Tianwu Hotel] where I just stayed is only a few hundred meters away from here. Seeing Master Liu arranging everyone, he came over.
"If you want to be a famous teacher, you must have an auxiliary profession. I have been learning painting with my father since I was a child. I have been able to produce recorded works for a long time. It is just right to pass the calligraphy and painting apprentice test first, and then find a way to test the official calligraphy and painting master!"
Lu Xun's heart was agitated when he saw the large characters in front of the calligraphers and painters guild.
His current ability is still a bit inadequate for the assessment of formal calligraphers and painters, but it should not be a big problem for the assessment of apprentices.
Walking into the guild, as soon as I entered, I saw a series of works hanging on the wall, landscapes, birds, spring breeze, sunshine... all of them reached the realm of recording reality. It was clear at a glance that the people who painted these works were interested in
His understanding of calligraphy and painting is no weaker than his.
"As expected of the Calligraphers and Painters Guild, it's amazing..."
Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh, his eyes lit up.
This guild has not been established for a long time, and Master Lu Chen has never been here, so he naturally doesn't know what's in it. He didn't expect to see so many amazing works as soon as he entered, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
I secretly admired him.
"Master, I don't know what paintings I need. I can show you some!"
As they were walking forward, the young man in Tsing Yi who had just greeted Zhang Xuan came over with a respectful look on his face.
"I'm not here to buy anything, but... I want to take an exam as a calligrapher and painter apprentice! Where is it?" Lu Xun said with a smile.
"Assessing apprentices?"
The boy in green clothes was stunned.
In the usual assessment of calligraphers and painters and apprentices, no one shows up for several months. What happened today? They come in groups!
Mr. Ji Mo had just finished the exam, and Grandmaster Zhang came. Just as Grandmaster Zhang left, another one appeared who wanted to take the apprenticeship exam...
It’s so lively!
"This way please!"
I had doubts in my heart, but I didn’t dare to neglect.
He is just a service member of the guild, and an apprentice has the opportunity to become a formal calligrapher and painter. There is a big gap in status between the two.
"Yeah!" Lu Xun followed.
"It's amazing, that's really a five-realm work!"
"Yes, I drew five realms in the first assessment, and it was less than twenty. What a genius!"
"Even Mr. Ji Mo was defeated and even kicked out of the guild. This kind of talent is really admirable!"
"The scene I painted just now is still swirling in my mind. It's so exciting!"
"I didn't expect wild beasts to be able to paint. This is something I never dared to think about before..."
…
Walking in the spacious hall, low voices of discussion came from all directions.
In the competition half an hour ago, although there were many supporters of Mr. Ji Mo in the crowd, there were also many distinguished nobles who really loved calligraphy and painting.
Grandmaster Zhang, when he appeared in the guild for the first time, almost everyone in the guild was stunned.
"What do they mean when they say... that in the first assessment, you will draw five realms?"
Hearing more and more people talking around him, Lu Xun couldn't help but be curious anymore and looked at the young man in Tsing Yi next to him.
"Oh, they were talking about the competition just now!" Upon hearing the question, the boy's eyes also lit up.
He could clearly see the competition just now from the sidelines. He even received the grandmaster personally, and he was extremely proud of it.
"Competition?"
"Yes, just now..." The young man in Tsing Yi quickly explained in detail what had just happened.
"You said...that master made the beast dipped in ink, walked around on the rice paper, and then picked it up and shook it casually, and the painting turned into a three-dimensional work?"
Lu Xun's eyes widened.
He has been studying calligraphy and painting with his father for many years, and he knows the difficulty of Sanjing works.
Even the father can't guarantee that he can draw it every time. This person can make the beast run around and do it with just a flick... Isn't this bragging?
However, the surprise was yet to come.
"When it's roasted by a torch... it turns into the four realms?"
"Squirted and turned into the five realms?"
The more he listened, the more Lu Xun felt like he couldn't wrap his head around it, and he was going a little crazy.
Why does it sound like I'm telling a story?
If it is true, this master's ability to control calligraphy and painting is too terrifying!
"Of course it's true. The grandmaster I personally received, the whole competition process, I saw it with my own eyes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"
The young boy in green clothes saw that he didn't believe it, so he said firmly.
"It's amazing... If what he said is true, if I can become a student of this master, I will definitely make rapid progress in calligraphy and painting, and it will be easy to become a real calligraphy and painting master!"
Hearing what the other party said was so certain, Lu Xun's heart moved, and an idea popped up that was difficult to contain.
To assess a famous teacher, just becoming an apprentice is not enough, you must have a formal auxiliary occupation.
Although he has been painting since he was a child, he also knows that there is a big gap from the recording state to the dynamic state. If he just studies by himself, it will be impossible to achieve it in less than a few years or even ten years.
But... it would be easy if you have a great teacher to give you guidance.
He didn't know about other masters, but what the boy just said was simply breathtaking.
It is possible for paintings to be promoted at will and reach the fifth level. How deep does one need to know about calligraphy and painting to do this?
If you become a disciple of him, you will definitely be able to solve your doubts, and it will be a lot easier if you don't know how to become a calligrapher and painter.
"This grandmaster... what is his name? I wonder where he is now? Does he accept students?"
Thinking of this and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lu Xun's face turned red and he couldn't help but ask.
"This Grandmaster, his name seems to be...Zhang Xuan!" The young man in Tsing Yi thought for a moment and couldn't help but say.
