Was it really that simple?
—Though Li Ye had swiftly analyzed the secret within, he still felt that something was off.
Because it had been too simple.
He had discovered the Heartfelt Melody with just a slight sensing?
Was "Nine Songs: Mountain Spirit," a top-tier inheritance of the Four Seasons Sect, simply too powerful, or had Bitter Journey Academy never intended to conceal anything here at all?
So it was because of that "Human Seal."
Even though Li Ye now understood the method and principles of enlightenment, without the Human Seal's assistance, how much merit and fortune would he have needed to expend?
With that thought, he was relieved.
He continued playing the Heartfelt Melody, helping the scholars awaken the spirituality of more Thousand Illusion Drunken Mushrooms.
Naturally, he received some wine in return.
He had helped so generously; taking some wine as payment was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
As for those scholars, after drinking cup after cup of wine, they had long since entered an extraordinarily bold and unrestrained state. Each took out a brush and painted upon the glowing screens formed by the Heartscape Illusion around them.
Whether mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds, or beasts, all appeared vividly alive.
—Incidentally.
This was also one of Li Ye's ways of secretly learning from them.
The art of painting placed great weight on both talent and skill. When these scholars painted, they inevitably mobilized their spiritual power, and since the walls of the heartscape were manifestations of Li Ye's Divine Sense, he was able to learn a thing or two.
And so.
Li Ye raised his cup toward Senior Brother Su.
"Let's have a taste too."
"Let's see what peerless delicacy this wine really is."
With that, he drained it in one gulp.
The Drunken Light Spirit Clam nearly jumped up.
