Although this matter had nothing to do with Jing Pu, he couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness. Jing Pu spoke first:

"I heard Ling Jing mention before that her sister is Saintess Ling Ju, graceful and elegant, with skin like jade and bones like ice. Seeing her today, it is indeed so."

Jing Pu's sudden words caused Ling Ju, who was already quite angry, to calm down slightly.

Ling Ju also hadn't expected Jing Pu to greet her first, and so politely. All the way here, Ling Tiannan and Di Chen had been extremely nervous, talking a lot about Jing Pu.

Ling Ju also knew that the distinguished-looking man before her was a great immortal from the Upper Realm.

But to be so approachable and greet her first left Ling Ju somewhat flustered. After regaining her composure, Ling Ju slightly lowered her head and bowed:

"I apologize for the unannounced visit today, Senior. It was my mistake."

Ling Ju was no longer as angry as before, but no matter what, the task still needed to be done!

Immediately, Ling Ju looked up at Jing Pu, preparing to speak.

But Jing Pu suddenly looked at Di Chen and Ling Tiannan, who were standing behind Ling Ju.

These two had been quite terrified on the way. For Ling Tiannan and Di Chen, neither of these two individuals was someone they could afford to offend.

Seeing Di Chen, Jing Pu suddenly remembered something and asked out of curiosity:

"Elder Di, have you decided what painting you want?"

If he hadn't seen Di Chen today, Jing Pu would have almost forgotten about the painting. The main reason was that he had been bothered by Ling Jing and Lie Chun these past few days.

Upon hearing Jing Pu suddenly ask about this, Di Chen looked so touched he wanted to cry. Senior... Senior is too kind, asking about this as soon as I arrived.

Di Chen had wanted to request a painting these past few days, but Jing Pu's place was constantly being dug up by two people. Furthermore, Jing Pu had previously said he was busy and not to come for now, so Di Chen had held back.

After so many days had passed, Di Chen worried that Senior might forget about it. But now, it seemed Senior not only hadn't forgotten but was still keeping it in mind.

Di Chen immediately looked at Jing Pu and said repeatedly:

"Senior, I have already decided."

Jing Pu was a bit speechless. Why did these people like calling him Senior so much?

It was understandable for young people like Ling Jing and Lie Chun to call him that, but even an elder like this did. He had told Di Chen before not to call him Senior, and Jing Pu suspected if he looked that old.

However, Jing Pu didn't correct them this time. If they wanted to call him that, so be it. It didn't matter...

Jing Pu nodded and said, "Then follow me. Tell me what kind of painting you want."

Jing Pu then turned and walked towards the house. Di Chen followed excitedly.

Ling Tiannan did the same, as Di Chen had promised to share with him.

As for Ling Ju, she didn't say anything else and followed along.

Ling Ju wasn't here to argue with Jing Pu. She was here to tell Jing Pu to stop letting Ling Jing obsessively dig holes every day.

Moreover, Ling Tiannan and Di Chen had told her many times about Jing Pu on the way; he was a great immortal from the Upper Realm.

Although, as the legitimate princess of the Bei Lan Dynasty and the Saintess of the Jade Pool Holy Land, Ling Ju wasn't afraid of this great immortal from the Upper Realm.

This was because Ling Ju had met many great immortals from the Upper Realm with her father, the Emperor, and her Master. Both the Bei Lan Dynasty and the Jade Pool Holy Land had produced great immortals from the Upper Realm.

Therefore, Ling Ju wasn't afraid of Jing Pu, but not being afraid didn't mean she could offend him.

Her attitude had to be good. If this Senior wanted to do something else, she would naturally wait until he was done.

As Ling Ju followed behind Jing Pu, Ling Jing, who was beside her, whispered sullenly from the side:

"Sis~~ Why are you here..."

Ling Jing was truly scared now. If his sister found out he had secretly taken the Dragon Heart Soft Armor, Ling Jing felt he might as well find a good spot in the yard and lie down in a freshly dug pit.

It was better when Ling Jing didn't speak. The moment he did, Ling Ju glared at him and said:

"I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Ling Jing flinched, lowered his head, and dared not speak further.

Upon arriving at the study, Jing Pu laid out his brushes, inkstone, and everything else.

When Jing Pu took out his items, everyone curiously probed with their divine senses, wanting to see what treasures Jing Pu used.

However, as soon as their divine senses entered the inkstone, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, with no response. For a moment, everyone took a slight breath. Senior's things... are indeed extraordinary...

After spreading out the drawing paper, Jing Pu looked at Di Chen, who stood opposite him, and asked:

"Elder Di, what kind of painting would you like?"

Di Chen quickly replied, "Senior, I wish to request a painting of 'All Things Reviving'."

A painting of 'All Things Reviving'?

Jing Pu thought for a moment. A painting of spring scenery would be the most fitting. Jing Pu nodded and said no more, picking up his brush to start painting.

This was the first time in three years that someone was watching him paint. Jing Pu felt a little excited.

Taking a deep breath, preparing to perform well, Jing Pu's hand steadied, and the brush touched the paper.

The moment Jing Pu's brush touched the paper...

Buzz!!!

Buzz!!!

Buzz!!!

The scene before everyone instantly changed!

The moment Jing Pu put his brush to paper, everyone seemed to have entered a very strange space.

This space was filled with the bright beauty of spring, a garden in full bloom. Everyone found themselves in a rustic farmhouse courtyard, filled with various plants and small animals.

The space was brimming with the vitality of spring, birds singing and flowers fragrant. After only a few seconds of stunned silence, everyone suddenly felt a wave of comfort wash over their entire bodies, all their accumulated fatigue vanishing without a trace.

However, just then, a gentle rain began to fall. It was a fine, soft drizzle, spring rain as precious as oil. As the raindrops landed on their cheeks and clothes, everyone felt a surge of life instantly infuse their bodies!

The feeling was indescribable. If they had to describe it in plain, crude terms, everyone felt that after these spring raindrops fell on them, they would surely live several years longer!

But the spring rain quickly disappeared, and everyone was abruptly pulled out of this illusion. Looking at Jing Pu before them, he was now finishing his painting.

Everyone's faces were filled with terror. This... Senior's strength... was likely among the absolute peak existences even in the Upper Realm!!

For Ling Tiannan and Di Chen, it was manageable. They had previously experienced the vision from the painting of Longevity, so after their initial shock, they quickly recovered. Yet, even having seen the vision of Longevity before, they couldn't help but click their tongues repeatedly.

Ling Ju, however, had never witnessed such a scene or felt such a sensation. She stood frozen in place, completely stunned.

As for Ling Jing, he recovered the fastest. He had been carrying a hoe and digging for days, often entering the world within the hoe to meditate.

Ling Jing was now the most composed. He had spent seven days with Jing Pu, though only in the mornings. During this time, Ling Jing had witnessed too many of Jing Pu's miraculous abilities.

After regaining his senses, Ling Jing glanced out the window, staring for a moment before suddenly and excitedly whispering into Ling Ju's ear:

"Sister!! Look, that mountain outside!!"

Ling Ju, who had just snapped back to reality, blinked in surprise. The next second, she lightly furrowed her delicate brows and looked out the window. After a glance, her exquisite face was filled with astonishment.

The mountain peak outside the window was the same one Ling Jing had dug a hole in before. It wasn't exactly dug through, but there was a large boulder on the mountain. Ling Jing had been digging around that boulder, and with enough digging, the boulder became unstable and rolled down that very afternoon.

But now... the boulder was still intact on the mountain peak.

And a magnificent rainbow had appeared around it.

Ling Tiannan and Di Chen also noticed. They looked at the boulder on the mountain peak and the huge rainbow.

The shock in everyone's hearts was unparalleled. Senior... Senior is truly too powerful... Just the Principle Profound Mechanism that leaked out during the painting process triggered a celestial phenomenon...

Ling Ju, now back to her senses, suddenly felt a pang of regret. Could it be... she had made a mistake?!
