At this moment, there was almost no special expression on Li Rushan's face, and his mind was completely immersed in his own world.
Ye Li glanced at the desk curiously. From where he was standing, he could only see the upper half of the papers on the table.
But this was enough for him to see that what Li Rushan was doing was painting.
Ye Li was slightly stunned. It was the first time he saw a cultivator painting. After all, honing painting skills requires a lot of time, and cultivators spend almost all their time on cultivation, so few people would study calligraphy and painting.
After checking on Li Rushan, Ye Li also found out that the other party's cultivation was in the late stage of Concentration Stage. For ordinary people, it is very good to have such cultivation at this age.
He and Bian Yingxiong stood at the door of the study and waited for about an incense stick of time. Li Rushan suddenly laughed, then raised his head and looked at the two of them, and said excitedly: "Come and see my new work."
Ye Li was stunned and confused.
Bian Yingxiong seemed to be used to it. He smiled and strode over.
"What masterpiece has Your Highness created this time?"
Bian Yingxiong asked.
"This time I am painting what I saw during my last outing. I named it "A Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and Seas of Clouds". You two come over here and help me get the drawing paper.
By the way, you are Ye Li, right? Yingxiong said he would bring you to see me."
Li Rushan smiled at Ye Li and said, his expression was not too majestic, but seemed very approachable.
Hearing the other party talking about himself, Ye Li naturally hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Ye Li greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Li Rushan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so reserved, we are all friends here, just be natural.
Hurry, help me pick up the painting and unfold it, otherwise the ink will be too dry and it will be useless."
After hearing Li Rushan's words, Bian Yingxiong and Ye Li were full of curiosity and didn't understand what he was going to do.
However, the two of them still followed each other's instructions, walked to the desk, and picked up the drawing paper on the table.
It was not until this time that Ye Li could see clearly that the painting indeed depicted mountains, rivers and sea of clouds. However, although Ye Li did not know much about painting, he could tell that the painting was not very beautiful. The brushwork was too stiff and heavy, and the lines were rough and lacked aesthetic appeal.
Bian Yingxiong also looked puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, why... why is your painting so weird?"
Li Rushan glanced at Bian Yingxiong, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You actually want to say that the painting is bad, hahahaha.
Well, actually it’s not that I draw badly, it’s because you didn’t understand. This painting is still missing the last step.
Come on, both of you, pick up the drawing paper from the table and unfold it vertically."
After hearing Li Rushan's instructions, Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong looked at each other, then reached out to stand the drawing paper upright, then pulled it to the left and right and held it in the air.
"is that so?"
Bian Yingxiong said.
"Yes, that's it, don't move."
Li Rushan nodded, gave some instructions, and went to the side to fetch a bowl of tea.
Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong looked at Li Rushan with some curiosity, and neither of them understood what he was doing.
Li Rushan walked to the drawing paper with a tea bowl in his hand, then tilted his head back and took a big sip of tea.
“Puff…”
A spitting sound came from Li Rushan's mouth.
He did something that left Ye Li and the others puzzled. He actually sprayed the tea onto the drawing paper.
With the push of the air in the stomach, the tea turned into mist in the air and instantly spread on the paper.
After the drawing paper absorbed the tea, the ink on it began to change slightly.
Li Rushan stood in front of the drawing paper with a smile on his face, staring at his masterpiece and said, "Just wait and see, something magical is about to happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ink began to spread gradually, and the originally stiff and heavy lines became soft and smooth in an instant.
The whole painting seemed to suddenly come alive and underwent a drastic change.
Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong stared blankly at the changes on the drawing paper. The mountains, rivers, and sea of clouds on it suddenly merged into one, appearing extremely vivid and harmonious.
This change made Ye Li and Bian Yingxiong open their mouths, unable to speak for a long time.
“This… This is truly amazing!!!”
After waiting for a few breaths, the diffusion and change of the ink had all ended, and a perfect picture of mountains, rivers, clouds and sea appeared in front of the two.
Hearing Bian Yingxiong's praise, Li Rushan smiled and said, "Now you don't think my words are bad anymore, do you?"
Bian Yingxiong and Ye Li shook their heads unconsciously. They finally understood that there were so many tricks in painting. "Okay, put the painting on the table. This painting is now complete. I will give it to my father to see. He will definitely frame it and hang it in the house."
After hearing Li Rushan's words, Bian Yingxiong and Ye Li hurriedly put the drawing paper back on the desk.
Li Rushan waved at the two of them and said, "Come over here and sit down."
The three of them then walked to the other side of the study, where there were tables and chairs.
After the three of them sat down, someone came in and made hot tea for them and presented them with fruits and snacks.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Rushan looked at Ye Li for a long time before speaking: "He is really young. I never thought that this little brother Ye Li would be so young.
It is really hard to imagine how one could reach the Divine Phase stage at such a young age.
In our Li family, from our ancestors to the present, if we talk about the talent for cultivation, my younger brother Rulin is the best.
He is five years younger than me, but he has already entered the divine stage, and his cultivation speed is truly incredibly fast.
But now compared with this brother Ye Li, the gap is not just a little bit. "
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Bian Yingxiong agreed deeply and said, "I was also shocked by him before, and when he revealed his true strength, I was also stunned.
I was still a little skeptical at first, until he fought one against two on the battlefield and killed two masters of the same level in a row, then I was truly sure that his cultivation was definitely at the genuine Divine Phase Stage.
He is truly a rare genius that only appears once in a million years."
Hearing what Bian Yingxiong said, Li Rushan looked at Ye Li with shining eyes. Who wouldn't want to get such a talent
"Brother Ye Li, the hero said that you have agreed to become a royal retainer. I want to confirm with you again, are you willing to become my retainer
The hero said that you wanted to find a casting material called Black Soul Gold. Although I have no clue about this thing, I think there must be records of it in the palace library.
After you join the royal family, I will use your last achievements to ask my father to grant you the status of a bronze national scholar.
With this identity, you can freely enter and exit the library and search for what you want."
