Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar Chapter 51 - 50: Reuniting with Liu Xiang’er (Seeking Invest

After so exploration, Hong Yuan found that painting could aid in transformation magic, helping the Mysterious Water Snake evolve into the Ice Armor Python.

Specific behavior: The clearer the painted image of the Ice Armor Python, the more transformation points are added.

When the last sheet of drawing paper was used up, Hong Yuan reflected thoughtfully.

[Skills and Arts: Painting Level 1 (261/1000)]

[Avatar: Mysterious Water Snake (Ice Armor Python 1123/10,000)]

The more realistic the scene in the painting, the more my Painting Skills improve. The higher my Painting Skills, the clearer the image of the Ice Armor Python I can paint, and the more transformation points are added.

It seems I need to observe the details of life more closely.

Although he didn’t know why a more realistic scene in a painting led to a greater improvent in Painting Skills, once he grasped this pattern, he simply put it to use.

People from the Great Glutton Nation are best at borrowing ideas!

...

By noon, Hong Yuan learned from Xu Hongde the identities of the Spirit Beast Hall disciples he was at odds with.

The male was nad Xu Haisheng and the female Xiao Youjun. Both were disciples of the First Elder of the Spirit Beast Hall, considered the hall’s rising talents and stars of tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Xu Hongde, Hong Yuan left the Phoenix Creek Tavern and headed towards the trade market.

He was going to the Wandao Trade Association to sell Demon Beast carcasses.

The Wandao Trade Association’s pavilion was lavish, majestic, and grand.

Disciples ca and went, selecting items at the counters. A considerable number of fierce-looking disciples also went to the backyard to sell Demon Beasts, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Master Liu sat in his usual spot, waiting for his daughter Liu Xiang’er to return from her break from the Book Pavilion.

Ever since his daughter beca a cultivating disciple of the Phoenix Creek Sect, their family’s life had flourished, and they had beco a modestly famous and prosperous household in Phoenix River Town.

At this mont, Master Liu squinted, watching a handso young man and a beautiful young woman walk over, chatting and laughing.

Why is Xiang’er’s friend different from last ti? Master Liu wondered.

TAP, TAP.

When Hong Yuan walked into the Wandao Trade Association’s pavilion, he found the Master Liu he was looking for chatting with soone.

Taking a closer look, he saw it was Liu Xiang’er. With her was a young man dressed as a dicine Hall disciple.

While Hong Yuan was lost in thought, Liu Xiang’er suddenly greeted him.

"Hey, Hong Yuan, long ti no see," Liu Xiang’er said.

"Long ti no see." Hong Yuan nodded slightly and walked towards Master Liu. "Master Liu, I’m here to sell Demon Beasts."

Beside Liu Xiang’er, the dicine Hall disciple, Chen Zhen, watched Hong Yuan warily, suspecting he might be a love rival.

But when he saw Hong Yuan’s brawny physique and rough hands, he inwardly sighed in relief.

Just a blacksmith. I was worrying too much, Chen Zhen thought, then sat still in his seat.

Ever since Chen Zhen had accidentally encountered Liu Xiang’er half a month ago, he had been captivated by her beautiful face, seeing her as a heavenly beauty.

During this half-month, by using the connections of his sister, who was a True Disciple, Chen Zhen had finally managed to fend off that Zhao Yi and beco Liu Xiang’er’s top suitor!

"Long ti no see, long ti no see!" Master Liu imdiately welcod Hong Yuan. "Please follow ."

Hong Yuan left with Master Liu to handle the Demon Beast selling business in the backyard.

Seeing Hong Yuan still indifferent towards her, Liu Xiang’er sighed softly to herself.

Even though Chen Zhen had an elder sister who was a True Disciple looking out for him, Liu Xiang’er still leaned towards choosing Hong Yuan.

One might not realize it at first glance, but a deeper look at Hong Yuan would reveal his imnse potential.

Becoming a first-order forging master in just one month, venturing alone into the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Heaven...

The more Liu Xiang’er learned about Hong Yuan, the more she felt he had a boundless future. Unfortunately, Hong Yuan paid her no attention; her beauty, which she took pride in, was ineffective on him.

"Xiang’er, what’s wrong?" Chen Zhen asked with a smile.

"I’m wondering if I have enough Energy Stones to buy the materials for the dicine formula," Liu Xiang’er replied with a smile, deftly handling Chen Zhen.

"It’s enough, don’t worry! If you don’t have enough Energy Stones, you still have ..." Chen Zhen patted his chest, assuring Liu Xiang’er and doing his best to project a manly air.

Seeing Liu Xiang’er shake her head and chuckle, unwilling to accept his kindness, Chen Zhen grew anxious.

"I have plenty of Energy Stones! Although I’m a dicine Hall disciple, I definitely have more Energy Stones than that stinky blacksmith. Don’t disbelieve ~"

Agitated, Chen Zhen imdiately stood up from his chair, walked to the railing, intending to make himself look better by disparaging Hong Yuan.

In the public eye, dicine Hall disciples generally earned less than those from the Refining Equipnt Hall. But Chen Zhen was different; he had an elder sister who was a True Disciple, so his Energy Stones were surely abundant.

Since Chen Zhen and Liu Xiang’er were on the second floor, they could see Hong Yuan and Master Liu’s actions and hear the shop assistant’s loud calls of the prices.

"Two first-order Demon Beast Chase Wind Eagles, totaling one hundred fifty Energy Stones."

"Four first-order Demon Beast Black Shura Panthers, totaling one hundred eighty Energy Stones."

"Four first-order Demon Beast Lightning Wolves, totaling two hundred eighty Energy Stones."

"..."

Listening to the shop assistant’s loud accounting, Liu Xiang’er, her expression unchanging, moved closer to look down at the neatly arranged Demon Beast corpses.

At this mont, Liu Xiang’er felt a tremor in her heart. While ordinary disciples dealt with sums of ten or a few dozen Energy Stones, Hong Yuan was already handling amounts in the hundreds, even thousands.

Especially when she recalled Hong Yuan selling Demon Beasts here last ti, Liu Xiang’er beca even more convinced that he had an incredibly vast future and was the legendary Paramount son-in-law!

Unfortunately, Hong Yuan was indifferent to her.

dicine Hall disciple Chen Zhen’s mouth was slightly agape, looking at Hong Yuan in amazent.

"This person looks like a Refining Equipnt Hall disciple, but his thods don’t seem like it. Don’t ordinary Refining Equipnt Hall disciples prefer to stay in their workshops, earning a fixed monthly stipend? Could he actually be an Enforcent Hall disciple?!" Chen Zhen exclaid in surprise.

Liu Xiang’er certainly knew about Hong Yuan. She knew he was not only a Refining Equipnt Hall disciple but also a rare talent in forging. However, she didn’t reveal these details, rely saying vaguely, "Perhaps. I haven’t seen him in a long ti."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt sowhat reassured.

Hong Yuan’s demonstrated ability to acquire Energy Stones had startled him. Without bringing his True Disciple elder sister into it, he, a dicine Hall disciple, was indeed thoroughly outclassed by Hong Yuan in every aspect!

"Tch! It looks like it all adds up to only about a thousand Energy Stones. My sister gives more cultivation Energy Stones than that every month!" Chen Zhen feigned indifference, but in reality, he stared intently at Hong Yuan, wishing he were the one down there selling Demon Beasts.

The most Energy Stones he could get from his True Disciple sister in a year was seven or eight hundred. He had thought himself quite influential among the lower-ranking disciples, but he hadn’t expected this Hong Yuan to so thoroughly outshine him.

"Heehee, it’s best if we just focus on ourselves and not compare with others. Striving so desperately isn’t good; one might fall one day. Being an Alchemist is better," Liu Xiang’er said, feigning empathy.

Chen Zhen felt greatly comforted, feeling as if he had found a confidante.

While Liu Xiang’er casually dealt with Chen Zhen, she silently watched Hong Yuan.

When Liu Xiang’er saw Hong Yuan use the new Energy Stones to purchase various materials and then leave, a sense of loss washed over her.

Liu Xiang’er understood that Hong Yuan was already on the path to soaring heights!

She glanced again at Chen Zhen, who was engrossed in amorous pursuits, and sighed silently in her heart.

Your sister is a True Disciple, but it won’t be long before others beco True Disciples too. And what about you?
