When it came to divine abilities and spells, Fang Qianyuan possessed outstanding root bone and comprehension, and his aptitude ranked among the finest. Once enlightenment dawned in his heart and he understood the principles involved, success came naturally, like water flowing into a channel.
His speed far exceeded Ink Fairy's expectations. She had thought that even if Fang Qianyuan had some talent, he would need to practice for a while longer and achieve some modest proficiency in the mundane craft before he could succeed.
Unsure whether she felt disappointed or pleased, Ink Fairy taught him the mental formulas and tricks of the Mind-Reflecting Painting Method, as promised.
This was no secret art, merely a basic formula for commanding a brush immortal. After studying it, Fang Qianyuan quickly gained some understanding and mastered it, much as he had when first learning the Eagle Eye Art.
This time, his brush flew across the paper as he painted with effortless ease. He hardly needed to concern himself with painting techniques at all. He only had to channel spirit essence into the brush immortal, which would guide the spirit brush in his hand and produce a satisfactory work in a single sitting.
Soon, a new portrait emerged.
In the painting, Wen Qingfei looked graceful and unworldly, beautiful and captivating, her eyes clear and bright. It could already be called the work of an accomplished painter.
Had an outsider judged it, they would never have believed that it was the work of a beginner who had studied painting for only a little over a day.
"Very good! Though it still lacks a little spirit, it really is very good!" Ink Fairy murmured to herself, her eyes filled with wonder.
"Brother Fang, you finally know how to use the brush immortal? How did you paint me?"
