"What’s wrong?" The Little Fox sensed sothing unusual about Jiang Xue and couldn’t help but ask.
"This paper is too good. I’m afraid if I don’t write well, I’ll ruin it." Jiang Xue expressed her worries, but the Little Fox only laughed and said, "Go ahead and use it. These papers can be recycled after use."
"Really?" Jiang Xue didn’t believe it.
"Of course it’s true, how could I deceive you? Besides, these papers are beginner’s drawing paper. Once your skills deepen, you can use advanced paper."
"Is there really low-grade and high-grade paper?" Jiang Xue looked surprised, originally thinking the paper here was already excellent, but she hadn’t imagined there could be even better ones.
"Naturally, once your Spiritual Power reaches a certain level, you will be able to use advanced paper for drawing."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue felt at ease. But having paper alone would be pointless without a brush.
The Little Fox seed to understand her thoughts, pointed a paw at another cabinet, and said, "The brushes, ink, and inkstone are in there. Go find one that suits you."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue opened another cabinet and stared wide-eyed at the various sizes of brushes inside.
So many brushes.
"These brushes were used by the previous owner, just make do with them."
"Okay, thank you, Little Fox!" Jiang Xue sincerely thanked the Little Fox and then eagerly picked out a dium-sized brush, took a xuan paper, and walked to the desk to prepare to start.
Without ready-made ink, Jiang Xue ground the ink temporarily before starting to work.
She didn’t begin with drawing but wrote a few large characters to get the feel of it.
The Little Fox watched Jiang Xue write, slightly furrowing its brow, and said, "You’re not using Spiritual Energy."
Jiang Xue was taken aback and looked at the Little Fox, saying, "I don’t know how to use it."
"Calling you a foolish woman, but you won’t admit it." The Little Fox looked at Jiang Xue frustratedly and then reminded, "Recite the formula once."
Jiang Xue recalled the formula in her mind and then recited it aloud.
"Follow the formula!" The Little Fox reminded, and Jiang Xue had an epiphany and imdiately understood. She followed the formula and slowly put the brush to paper.
However, because she was not very familiar, her strokes were still relatively awkward, and the characters she wrote were not very smooth. But, the characters written with Spiritual Power were distinctly different from those she had written before without using it.
Even though the characters written with Spiritual Power looked awkward, they gave off a different feeling.
Jiang Xue practiced writing several more characters, becoming smoother with each one. By the last few characters, she already had a graceful, flowing style.
The Little Fox watched from the side, nodding continuously. Although Jiang Xue was a bit clumsy, she had a lot of talent and Spiritual Energy.
Look at that; she mastered a trick she thought would take three to five days in less than half an hour.
After writing for a while, Jiang Xue’s hand felt a bit sore, so she stopped. She understood the principle that haste makes waste.
Jiang Xue put away the characters she wrote, then bid farewell to the Little Fox and left the space.
As soon as she exited the space, the little baby happened to wake up and started crying. Jiang Xue clumsily changed the baby’s diaper and then fed them before going to wash up.
Perhaps due to the cultivation, she felt comfortable all over and full of energy.
After washing up, Jiang Xue saw Bai Yuhua busy in the kitchen and went in to offer help.
