Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty

In the cloud-walking state, Yan Fang realized that the way he observed the world had become different from before.

He couldn't describe what was different specifically, but in this state he seemed to be able to see and perceive things that he could not perceive before.

[Cloud Step] seemed to also come with a kind of magical power similar to the ability to see qi, but the things he sensed were mixed in with the original world, so he couldn't distinguish them for a while. He only knew that this state was naturally suitable for painting!

In this state, Yan Fang immediately felt that "If I don't paint landscapes, my life will be in vain and my brain will be kicked by a donkey". A voice from the depths of his soul urged him to paint immediately.

And he himself could feel that this seemed to be an opportunity for him to make further progress in painting.

Getting started in painting requires talent and spirituality, but if you want to continue, you need accumulation, which may take at least a dozen years or at most a hundred years.

Yan Fang, who had obtained the painting spirit but did not have the corresponding painting skills, was actually about to give up painting and was prepared to regard it as an auxiliary career or a hobby to cultivate his body and mind.

"Fortunately, I recovered a lot of energy in the [Condensation] state before."

By breathing in and out in the [Condensation] state and moving the spiritual energy with all your heart, you are also taking a deep rest, thus your energy and spirit are restored a lot.

"Landscape painting. This is the first time I have sketched a landscape in ancient times."

Compared with landscapes, Yan Fang is better at painting figures.

Whether in his past life or this life, Yan Fang found it difficult to calm down and appreciate the natural beauty, nor could he appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers. He was busy most of the time, shuttling among the crowd.

Compared with still life, he prefers to observe living things like humans and animals that can move and think. He prefers to explore the stories behind the characters, so the people he draws are more realistic, and often there is a story in a look or the changes in light and shadow.

This might be the mark brought by the city life in the previous life, which cannot be erased. However, when he entered the [Cloud Step] state, his heart became completely calm.

When he picked up the paintbrush, the world became quiet.

It is not that the world has become quiet, but that his sensory world maintains a separate and independent state in the chaos.

He could hear the sound of wind, water, insects, and the sound of Xuan exercising on another lawn in the distance. He could see the vibration of air touching grass leaves, and the movement of insects breeding in the grass.

These sounds were no longer noisy in his ears. Each sound was clearly intertwined with everything, yet it could exist independently in his ears. Each sound was a regular and wonderful melody.

The picture is no longer messy and blurry. When he focuses on a certain object or life, it will be separated from the world, just like the blurred background set when taking pictures in the previous life. Every thing and every life is so unique and interesting.

This feeling was wonderful. The world was obviously very noisy, but it was surprisingly quiet. It was an inexplicable enjoyment, and it also made him notice the unique charm of nature. He observed quietly for ten minutes.

"Yunbu Niuhua, Shuxi is amazing!"

Even though he was in a particularly calm state, Yan Fang couldn't help but sigh a few times. The inheritance that Shuxi obtained was far beyond his imagination.

He knew that with his current experience and realm, he could only see the tip of the iceberg, but even this tip of the iceberg was enough to shock him.

For now, the magical power related to the Cloud Step is his greatest golden finger, and this is just an imitation of Shuxi.

......

Observe the world of mountains and rivers, ten minutes later.

Holding the paintbrush, the moment he was ready to paint, the [Cloud Step (Imitation)] state disappeared, and he returned to the bustling world again.

"When I stop observing, I will automatically get out of this state?"

Yan Fang's expression did not change. Although he was a little surprised by the result, the influence of the [Cloud Step] state was still there, so he paused with the brush in his hand and continued painting.

When you write with inspiration, the mountains and rivers are already reflected in your mind, so there is naturally no need for detailed observation.

When he saw Yunbu's introduction before, Yan Fangbian guessed that Yunbu's state was undetectable and imperceptible to outsiders, and it would become ineffective when he came into contact with real things.

Logically speaking, when he uses his own paintbrush and scroll to paint, it should be an internal behavior, internal work, and has nothing to do with the outside world. Moreover, when he takes out the paintbrush and scroll from the storage bag, he will not exit the state.

As a result, he exited the [Cloud Step] state when preparing to paint.

This leads to the question, is it Yunbu's ability that is limited or his ability is not enough? Yan Fang tends to think the latter, and it is not because of his lack of ability, but also because Shuxi's ability development and understanding are not enough.

This problem can only be solved when he travels back to the Western Han Dynasty. What he needs to do now is to remember the colors of the mountains and rivers he has seen before and then paint.

Soon, the painting was completed. It was a freehand ink-and-wash landscape painting. Between black and white, the landscape took shape, with a tendency to become a spiritual painting.

However, before Yan Fang could be happy, unexpected changes occurred before his eyes.

The mountains and waters in the painting echo with the mountains and waters outside. The vital energy of heaven and earth is turbulent, and the two energies of heaven and earth pour into the painting with an extremely powerful momentum.

"This is too much noise."

A look of surprise flashed across Yan Fang's eyes, his expression changed, and his thoughts raced in his mind.

When spiritual paintings were created in the Western Han Dynasty, the spiritual energy moistened things silently. When the spiritual paintings were created, there was no sound at all, which made him subconsciously think that this was the norm in painting, but he ignored the changes of the times.

The movement before our eyes was not as earth-shattering and weeping as described in ancient legends. Dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and the vortex of vital energy formed by the spiritual painting also caused the wind and clouds in the local area to change.

Although the hillock that Yan Fang chose was close to Xuan's home and far away from Youxiong tribe, Yan Fang knew that such a situation could not be hidden from anyone with ulterior motives or even from an expert.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this place is still in an area with bear tribes, so the danger is not great.

"Feng Shui spiritual painting?"

A few seconds after the painting was completed, the first person to come forward was Fubao, who was supposed to lie down to rest. She was still wearing her home linen clothes, and her pretty eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

"You're making too much noise, aren't you?"

Having said that, looking at the painting that Yan Fang placed in front of him, Fu Bao's heart was filled with great waves.

She originally thought that Yan Fang was just a test subject of a powerful being, an abandoned child, so she didn't care much about him and let him have contact with her son.

I didn't expect that just painting a picture could bring about such a big change.

"My nephew didn't know there would be such a big change. It was just a momentary inspiration."

Facing Fu Bao's words, Yan Fang also smiled bitterly. He had not expected such a thing and could only attribute the change to inspiration.

"You're making too much noise. People from the tribe and the market will surely come here soon. Be careful with them."

Fubao said helplessly. She had finally gotten out of those people's sight. Now those people might be paying attention to this side again. She thought about it, and before waiting for Yanfang's reply, she looked into Yanfang's eyes and suggested:

"The tribal landscape map. The witch will definitely not let it stay with you. You should try to agree to it if you can."

In the Xianxia plane, there are magical powers and techniques similar to clairvoyance that can see far away, and corresponding techniques of shielding and isolation. No one cares about ordinary maps.

Fu Bao vaguely knew that the tribal landscape spiritual map was different from ordinary maps. After absorbing the energy of mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, it had a certain connection with the real mountains and rivers, and through this connection, he could do many things.

"Thank you for your advice, Auntie."

Yan Fang nodded upon hearing this. As a painter, he could vaguely understand the importance of the landscape painting to the local people, and he had no intention of keeping it.

Moreover, although this painting was recognized by the Youxiong area, he, who had entered the [Cloud Step] state, still felt that this painting was missing something, was very inconsistent, and was a failure.
