The spirit painter is one of the hundreds of weapon refining veins.
The weapon-making process covers everything, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, wheels, pins, sticks and rulers, carillons, drums and flutes, robes or beads, scrolls, flags and flags...
The various magic weapons used by monks have completely different production methods.
Swords, spears, swords and halberds are mostly made of spiritual gold and are mainly refined by fire.
The harp is a stringed instrument and requires specialized techniques to play the harp.
The cassocks worn by the monks are made of spiritual silk and auspicious clouds, and then cut and made into garments. The technique is different from that of ordinary gold and stone refining.
The production methods of boats, shuttles and palace gates are even more complicated and profound.
Except for the master of weapon refining who "knows one method and understands all methods" and knows hundreds of weapon refining techniques. Generally, beginner tool makers will choose one to study.
Spiritual painters are the collective name for monks who make magic weapons such as pictures. In terms of techniques, there are schools such as painting, carving, gold casting, flower stickers, Juan embroidery, and divine refining.
Henghua stared at Ji Mingfeng's folding fan: "Are you from the Danqing school? That's right, only the Danqing school is as elegant as the painting."
The lineage of Linghua paintings was originally created by a master of painting in the common world. One day, he was painting a picture on the bank of a stream, incorporating the scenery in front of him into one picture.
When the river map is completed, the will of heaven and earth will bless it, and a magic weapon will be created.
After that, he became the original spiritual painter, depicting the heaven and earth with pictures. Painting a picture of a treasure weapon will go into building the foundation, drawing a picture of a spiritual weapon will enter the golden elixir, and drawing a picture of an immortal weapon will lead to immortality in one step.
Because this lineage requires superb painting skills, most famous people and painters from the secular world are selected as disciples. Henghua Guanji Mingfeng's literary spirit is meaningful, elegant and peaceful, and he knows that he is an elegant and famous person in the world.
But thinking back to Ji Mingfeng's request, Henghua had a headache.
The cultivation colors used in the superior treasure maps and spiritual maps are made from the natural treasures of Wuhua and Tianbao mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Where can Henghua find that kind of thing? Where does he have that thing on him?
He is not a color researcher who specializes in providing colors for spiritual painters.
After thinking for a while, Henghua reluctantly said, "Do you want Yan Cai to paint? Can you tell me more specifically?"
Ji Mingfeng took out an unfinished work.
This is a picture of the vast sea. Placing it in front of Henghua's eyes, it feels like he is visiting the West Sea in person, with the sound of tide mixed with the unique smell of the sea hitting his face.
Plop——
A large whale rose slowly ahead, spouting towering water jets.
Henghua quickly closed his eyes and withdrew from the spirit map.
Looking at this picture again, the sky is blank and has not been filled in.
"The Xuanwei School has the 'Nine Colors of Zhan Qingcai'. The painted sky can reflect a variety of colors in addition to the original color, reflecting the vastness of the sky."
Henghua heard this and silently communicated with Zhou Xiao.
After hearing "Nine-faced Zhanqingcai", Zhou Xiao recalled it for a long time before nodding silently.
"The Xuanwei Sect really seems to have this thing, it is a legacy of the Taixuan Sect from the Shenzhou era. But..."
He glanced at Fu Xuanxing, who was secretly talking to Fu Xiangfeng.
"A few years ago, there were some naughty younger people who were ignorant and used this stuff to smear it randomly. It has been used up."
Henghua learned from the wind that Zhou Xiao had replied and immediately informed Ji Mingfeng.
"Gone?"
"What Senior Zhou said is definitely true. I think all Xuanwei Sect can give is a prescription."
Ji Mingfeng's face darkened.
The production of Lingyuan Yancai is analogous to making alchemy, and the process is very cumbersome. Especially for high-quality colors, the workmanship takes several years or even decades.
Ji Mingfeng asked himself, even if he got the prescription, he wouldn't be able to make it.
"But even if you have the recipe, you probably won't be able to make it, right? I've never seen a professional color researcher. Forgive me for my limited knowledge."
Ji Mingfeng sighed melancholy: "I haven't seen it either."
A color researcher versus a spiritual painter is like a metallurgist versus a gold and stone refiner, but the situation is completely different.
Gold weapons are, after all, the main faction of the weapon refining sect. As long as you study weapon making, you will definitely be involved in the production of metal magic weapons. From big swords to small needles, no matter what you do, you can get involved.
But Lingpai is inherently biased in the field of instrument making. It is rarer than gold and jade vessels, silk and bamboo musical instruments, and cloud silk robes.
Not to mention the color research artist who works as a front-end for spiritual painters.
If you meet ten weapon refiners, you will most likely meet one or two people who are good at metallurgy. And if you meet ten metallurgists, you may not meet a color researcher.
The training of the Color Analyst is even more bizarre than that of the Spiritual Painter. They believe that everything in the world is transformed by vitality, and each vitality has its own color. The color researcher uses color to enter the Tao and seals the true spiritual power in the color. If there is a battle, he will use the color with the corresponding attributes to fight against the enemy.
For example, green, red, yellow, white and black correspond to the foundation of the five elements. Sprinkle red color and you will attract fire. Black color can attract mysterious water.
Ji Mingfeng has been practicing for nearly a thousand years and has never met a serious color researcher in his life.
In desperation, he had no choice but to learn color research techniques by himself.
Henghua looked at the "Picture of the Western Sea" and thought: "I have also read two books on the method of studying the color immortality."
""Five Elements of Ten Thousand Colors" and "Spiritual Colors Entering Immortality"?"
"Yes. Have you read it too?"
Ji Mingfeng said quietly: "Five hundred years ago, I spent my own efforts to print three thousand copies and sent these two sets of books to major waters. The purpose..."
Henghua looked at Ji Mingfeng sympathetically. Understand, in order to train color researchers. But unfortunately, this is your industry’s own fault, and you cannot rely on others.
When Henghua heard about the "Color Researcher", a strange practice method of "entering the Tao through color", he studied it specially.
He read through ancient books and finally came to the conclusion that the Color Researcher was a profession of monks that was involved in the spiritual painter's death.
Also as a type of monk who provides materials.
The metallurgist helps the toolmaker to purify the spiritual ore so as to harvest it. You can also sell the composite gold essence you developed to the weapon maker in exchange for spiritual materials such as pearls and jade elixirs.
A metallurgist has to deal with dozens or hundreds of tool makers.
But when it comes to color research, they hope to establish relationships with hundreds of spiritual painters. But when all the spiritual painters from the Shenzhou era were gathered together, they might not be able to find a hundred spiritual painters.
Among these spiritual painters, those from the Jinzhu lineage cast gold into iron coupons and carved on the surface of the iron coupons. Painters of the Jinxiu line used silk thread to embroider pictures on cloud brocade and gold silk. The material providers needed by these two types of painters are the Metallurgical Taoist and the Yunsi Weaver Girl.
Danqing Yanhui is the only one that really needs color masters to blend colors.
During the Shenzhou period, such spiritual painters could be counted by head. Without a market, the profession of color researcher would naturally not be sustainable. It's incredible, the color researcher can maintain three or five people.
But the spiritual painting masters are all elegant in nature, and they also make their own paints in their spare time. The technology is not as good as that of regular color researchers, but low-level materials do not need to be provided by color researchers.
Without low-level materials to practice with, how can a color researcher cultivate successors? Moreover, the heirs they cultivate may not be as skilled as the painter Dan Qing Ling.
Without the help of spiritual painters, the profession of color painters gradually declined. After the last master of color research passed away, the entire method of researching color and becoming immortal has been lost.
Ji Mingfeng rarely met a knowledgeable person, so he couldn't help but drag Henghua to complain.
"You don't know that I have only met eight fellow spiritual painters since I started practicing. Two of them are engaged in gold carving, one is engaged in embroidery, and two are from the Shenlian sect. Although the remaining three are all us He is from the Danqing lineage, but he has never seen a color researcher."
"I read through many ancient books and restored two techniques of studying color and cultivating immortality. However, after being spread for five hundred years, no one has practiced it."
Henghua kept a polite smile. Nonsense, it is difficult for a color researcher to enter the Tao, and it is even harder to achieve enlightenment. According to the colors of green, red, yellow, white and black, Lingyuanyancaichengdan is made with the colors of the five elements. The effort required is more troublesome than that of a Taoist metallurgist.
He nodded to show his listening while studying the "Picture of the Western Sea".
Suddenly, Henghua pointed at a few shallow marks on the sky.
"What you are describing is the West Sea at night? Is there a moon in the sky?"
Ji Mingfeng's expression changed: "Can you tell?"
The manuscript of "Picture of the West Sea" was originally written by him when he came to the West Sea one night and watched the color of the West Sea. But Ji Mingfeng couldn't come up with the paint needed to outline the bright moon. He was also eager to complete the "Western Sea Map", so he slightly revised the manuscript and changed it to a scene of a clear sky and blue sky.
"I have done some research on the art of spiritual painting."
Later, Henghua added in his mind: It's just that I'm from the Sculpture and Divine Refining sect.
Keji Mingfeng's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"That's right, you acting mages are the best at reading and have a wide range of knowledge. You must have studied our spiritual painting technology. How about, help me think about it. How should I practice next? Help me calculate the techniques?"
The spiritual painter's practice lies in their paintings.
By incorporating a scene of heaven and earth into the picture, the corresponding power can be activated. The more treasure maps and spiritual maps they create, the stronger their power becomes.
If the volume of the Western Sea Map in front of him can be completed, Ji Mingfeng's cultivation can be further improved. When fighting with people, you can evolve the Western Sea Realm.
"Help me find replacement materials, and I will let you go, and all grudges will be eliminated in the future.
"Help me complete the map of the West Sea and help me break through the bottleneck. In the future, my little brother will be my friend. I dare not say anything about the Thirteen Waters. Yanshui, Yuanming, Tianyang, and Huanglong, I will keep you safe.
"If you can help me become an immortal through painting and enter the realm of calamity, I can follow Li Nanxing's example and call me "teacher".
"If I can reach the sky in one step, my brother will be my reborn parents."
Heng Hua rolled his eyes: "Fellow Taoist, help me use the method of acting to become an elixir. I regard you as my brother.
"Help me perform the magic and become the Tribulation Immortal, I respect you as my teacher.
"Help me improve my Taoist career and complete my spiritual practice. You will be my reborn parents."
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed, feeling quite sympathetic to each other.
Yes, the road is bumpy, and no matter where you go, reaching the top is not easy.
To practice as a spiritual painter, you need to draw spiritual pictures and fairy pictures, and the color requirements are extremely high. And playing a mage is equally difficult.
Because he read a lot of books and his energy was scattered, the higher Master Yan went in his practice, the more his knowledge and vision became more complicated and his energy became less and less.
Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Xuanxing were enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the two people talking and laughing on the boat.
"Brother Fu, is it possible for Brother Fu Liu to have such a good conversation with the other party? Didn't you say that this is the third party who came to stop him? It seems that he can get rid of it amicably?"
"Maybe." Fu Xiangfeng saw the two of them talking enthusiastically, and wondered in his heart: What on earth was Xiao Liu'er talking to him about. Can we leave? If you don't leave, the fourth group of people will catch up later.
"By the way, I've thought of a way."
Henghua chatted for a while, and then he had an idea.
"Why don't you try the combo chart?"
"Combined? Present a picture in the form of a combined picture scroll."
"Yes." Henghua pointed to the "Western Sea Picture" and said: "You are very skilled in painting, and you can incorporate the artistic conception of the entire West Sea into one picture. Therefore, you need the best colors to record this artistic conception. But if you retreat and seek Secondly, use three, five or even more pictures to record the scene of the West Sea. Finally, use the "Technology of Combination" to fuse the pictures. In this way, even if the color quality is lower, you can complete the picture of the West Sea. "
Combination composition?
Henghua's point made Ji Mingfeng's heart beat fast.
When he was a mortal, he had played with many combination pictures. What about spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, as well as pictures of hundreds of beautiful things, pictures of hundreds of blessings, etc.
But as I enter Tao through painting, I prefer to incorporate all Tao into one picture.
This is similar to Master Yan's philosophy of "exploring all the ways and becoming one".
Bringing everything into one has been the tradition of Danqing Ling painters for many years.
"Indeed, the environment is different. Back then, the master had a high-level appearance and could accommodate Taoism. But in our generation, we naturally need to seek changes."
Ji Mingfeng's aura changed.
Henghua watched helplessly as the "Western Sea Map" in front of him was divided into seven, turning into seven smaller seascapes. The sky is also blank, and there are also patches of white space elsewhere on the picture.
Ji Mingfeng flicked his sleeves and robe, and a colorful jade lotus flower as big as a basin appeared. Each petal blooms with a spiritual color.
No need for a paintbrush, just control by Ji Mingfeng's magic power, the colors automatically fly into the seascape, smearing out the colors one after another.
The West Sea where the sun shines, the West Sea where it is quiet at night, the West Sea where the waves surge into the sky, the West Sea where the waves are calm...
Each of the seven sea charts has a different mood, and when combined together, it forms a complete scene of the West Sea.
When the seven seascape paintings are completed, the artistic conception of the roaring sea is revealed from each painting.
At this time, Ji Mingfeng looked at Henghua.
Henghua recited the formula of the art of harmony.
Ji Mingfeng cast a spell according to the spell and merged the seven pictures into one.
Boom——
Pillars of air erupted from the water surface, and the image of the West Sea slowly unfolded on the water surface.
"I'm done."
Ji Ming was filled with joy and silently realized the meaning of Xihai Dao.
It will take three days to refine this set of scrolls.
At this time, he felt something in his heart and saw a group of people flying in the distance.
The sleeves of the robe were rolled up again, and the Cailuan Lingfang was lifted directly onto the waves.
"Brother, please get on your way quickly, the enemy is coming."
Mana sent Henghua to the spiritual boat, and then sent Zhou Xiao, Fu Xuanxing, Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Heyi, Xiaoyu, and Hengshou into the boat. With a hard push, the Lingfang sailed towards the north.
"Wait, my golden hoop——"
Seeing this, Xu Wenyu didn't care to talk to Cheng Yuliang and others, and quickly chased after them.
Ji Mingfeng pulled him to his side: "Don't worry, we will catch up tomorrow. Help me give the good brother of the Fu family something to avoid disaster."
Xu Wenyu saw those figures in the distance.
In addition to the dense demonic aura, there were also several large ships hanging with Wei family flags.
After taking a look at the people on the island, Ji Mingfeng smiled and said: "These people come with bad intentions. I have some cause and effect with you after all. I will help you repel these people and protect Dilie Island. By the way, I will help you to block them. This is the road."
