Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 1457 Tian Honglui



"You are Tian Honglui?" Alex asked the young man with an amazed expression on his face.

"Hehe, have you heard of ?" the young man asked in a gleeful expression.

"I have," Alex said. "I have seen both of your paintings in the Hall of Fa. The Player's Descent and the Lightning God's Anger."

"Oh, you've been to the Hall of Fa, brother?" the young man said with a slightly surprised face. "You must be soone important to have been let in there."

"You could say that," Alex said softly. "Do you not know who I am?"

"Nope!" the young man said. "Should I?" He looked Alex up to down, judging him for a mont. "I can't really place you from anywhere at all."

"I assu you haven't been up to date with the continent's news for the past 3 years then," Alex said.

"Oh no," the young man said. "I've barely left this place for the past 3 years."

"I suppose you can't make a masterpiece without putting in the work. I'm sorry my beasts disturbed you," Alex said.

"That's alright," the young man said. "I'll just go back to learning about the tal aura."

Alex got a little curious. "What do you want to learn about the tal aura?" he asked.

"Do you know about the tal aura?" the young man asked.

Alex moved his hands and tal Qi flowed out of it to form a small image of a sword. At the sa ti, the tal aura from around the room coalesced in his hand, adding intricacies to the sword that wasn't previously present.

"Woah! Is that… dao of tal?" the young man asked. "Is that what is it?"

"It is," Alex said.

"Can you teach about the atl aura, brother?" Tian Honglui asked.

"I can," Alex said. "But are you sure you want to learn it from ? If I teach you about it, it will be harder for you to learn the Dao."

"No, no. Don't teach directly," the young man said. "Just use your aura so that it is stronger than the aura in the mine. If I can notice stronger tal aura, then I'm sure I will learn tal aura within 2 months."

Alex shrugged. "I can, but what can you do in return for ?" he asked.

"Uhh… what do you want from , brother?" the young man asked. "Ooh, how about a painting? I have a few paintings with that I can give to you in exchange for helping ."

"If not… I can always give you so money?" the young man said.

"No, I don't need your paintings or your money," Alex said. "Instead, I want your painting skills."

"My… skills?" the young man was a little confused.

"Yes," Alex said. "I want you to teach how to paint."

"Oh, teaching… I'm not sure I'm the right person to teach anyone anyhting, brother," the young man said. "I don't really know what I'm doing really. I just do what I want and the thing cos out generally good."

"You can teach whatever you want," Alex said. "Even if you fail to teach altogether, I will accept that as my fault."

"Oh, okay then," the young man said. "But that will an you will have to wait here for 2 months. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, that is fine with ," Alex said. "Except, wait. Why are we staying in here for 2 months?"

"To see if I can learn tal aura enough to paint the golden mountain," the young man said.

"Yes, I understand that, but why 2 months?" Alex asked. "I have to leave this place in a week. I might be able to extend it to a month, but any more than that and I will miss the auction."

"Auction? Isn't that in 2 months?" the young man asked.

"No, it's in 5 weeks," Alex said.

"What!?" the young man suddenly got up from his seat. "Then I'm getting late. I must quickly draw the golden mountain, or else I won't have anything to sell."

The canvas flew out of the rubble, setting itself in front of the young man. The young man started clearing up the canvas and Alex went to seat on a giant rock next to him.

"Why are you in a hurry to complete it before the auction when you are looking to sent it to the Hall of Fa?" Alex asked.

"Hall of Fa?" the young man shook his head. "Not every painting gets into the hall of fa. I have made thousands of paintings and of those only 2 have made it, and those two are miralces by themselves."

"I can make paintings that are very good, but none that are worthy of the Hall of Fa. Its just that I try to make every single one as if they are going to be the next one, and that helps do the best I can."

"I see," Alex said. "Your two paintings in the Hall of Fa were quite amazing. I will hope this Golden Mountain becos as good."

"Thank you," the young man said. "And of course, if it doesn't, I'm still going to be rich selling it in the auction, so I have to do it before it starts."

"Ah, I see," Alex said. "I need to hurry along too. I have so pills to sell as well."

"Let us begin then," the young man said. "Can you show your tal aura?"

"Sure," Alex said and brought out his tal Qi while using the Dao of tal with the strongest Intent he could manage at the mont.

The young man was a little suprrised and looked at Alex for a second. He didn't imainge that soone that was barely at the 9th realm of Saint Core realm could bring out such a strong aura.

He smiled after seeing that. "You might just make for a great painter," he said and started focussing on the aura in front of him. He didn't have much ti to learn as much as he could.
