Chapter 4: 4

Compared to the young miss, the student in front of him seemed much calmer.

Feeling that it was about time, Ye Xiu asked softly, “How is it?”

Ban Feimeng suddenly woke up and slowly turned her head to look. She saw Ye Xiu looking at her with a gentle face. His eyes seemed to contain everything and had seen through her long ago.

Ban Feimeng took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. These ink wash paintings that contained the essence of magic couldn’t have been drawn by this senior, right?

If it wasn’t, then it meant that it was a treasure that senior had obtained from somewhere. If it was drawn by him, then this senior’s realm wasn’t something she could understand.

“These paintings and calligraphy were all drawn by Senior?” Ban Feimeng couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right, but these still have room for improvement. I need a long time to improve.” Ye Xiu smiled and agreed.

If he practiced a bit more, his drawing skills could continue to improve, but he couldn’t say that.

If he could improve in a short amount of time, why would she buy them now? Wouldn’t it be the same if she came back another day?

“You can improve again?”

Ban Feimeng heard this and sucked in a breath of cold air. Her heart was even more shocked.

She felt that these paintings had perfectly expressed what the essence of magic was. She didn’t think that in Ye Xiu’s eyes, there were flaws in his paintings and there were rooms to improve?

The time spent was not a big deal. To be able to see the essence of magic, no matter how long it took, it was still worth it.

At the same time, her heart was even more excited. This was an astonishing fortuitous encounter. She was afraid that she had met a big shot with an extraordinary background!

“Although in my opinion, this painting is still a bit lacking, it should be enough for you to get the recognition and appreciation of the elders in your family, right?” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

For a family that liked ancient culture, if a junior gave a master-level ink wash painting to the elders in their family, it should be able to win the favor of the elders. It was likely that they wouldn’t be ostracized anymore.

Ban Feimeng nodded her head with a slight tremble.

If she could take this painting and look at it frequently to comprehend the essence of the magic elements, her affinity with the magic elements would definitely soar. The elders in the family would definitely think highly of her.

There weren’t many treasures in the family that could compare to hers. Ye Xiu was willing to give it away, but how could she accept it just like that? Ye Xiu didn’t really know her yet, and even if her elder was here, he would give something in exchange.

What thing should she offer?

Ban Feimeng took a deep breath and nervously asked, “Then, what should I offer to get the painting?”

Ye Xiu was stunned. He waved his hand and said, “This is a bookstore, and I sell calligraphy and paintings. I open it in the human world, so I use the money in the human world to trade.”

“Money?” Ban Feimeng did not react in time.

A mage traveling in the human world to cultivate indeed needed money. However, money was just an insignificant thing to masters. They could easily obtain more wealth than a country with just an instant with their abilities. Money was literally nothing to them.

She suddenly had a thought. Could it be Ye Xiu was comprehending laws and needed to experience the profoundness of laws with his own hands?

She just didn’t know what laws Ye Xiu was trying to comprehend. The word ‘money’ involved many things, and through it, one could comprehend many laws. For example, the law of trade, the law of domination, the law of reputation, and even the law of fate.

No wonder he would sell such a precious treasure. If it was for cultivation, then it would make sense.

Thinking of this, Ban Feimeng lightly nodded her head, “I wonder how much it’s worth?”

Ye Xiu smiled. He turned around and took down one of the paintings, saying, “This painting is most likely the most suitable for you, and it depends on how much you are willing to pay for it.”

He didn’t directly state the price. He tried his best to be tactful, which was in line with the style of the ancients.

This ink wash painting depicted a bright moon rising in the dark night. Because it was painted with ink, the bright moon was completely black. The land was also black, but it could distinguish the scenery.

“I need this painting the most.” Ban Feimeng’s eyes stared at the painting.

The magic element that she comprehended was the darkness element, and the painting in front of her contained the darkness essence. There was even a deeper layer of light essence.

When one cultivated the darkness element to the top, it would inevitably lead to the cultivation of light element. The two were mutually compatible. Without darkness, there would be no light.

Ye Xiu was indeed a peerless expert. She didn’t explain what she was cultivating and yet he saw through her at a glance.

With this painting, there was no need to worry about the direction of her cultivation in the next hundred years.

“It suits you very well.” Ye Xiu smiled and nodded his head.

As soon as this girl entered, she stared at this painting non-stop. It seemed like she wished she could dive into the painting. Even a fool could tell that she liked this painting.

“I wonder how much my elder paid for this painting from you?” Ban Feimeng asked.

Ye Xiu turned around and walked towards the table, “I sold two paintings of your elder and received 99,999 gold coins from him. I also gave two calligraphy pieces to him as reward. Since you’ve come to my place, it’s fate. You just need to pay how much you’re willing to.”

The subtext was that your elder had bought two paintings from me and spent 99,999 gold coins. It was up to you to decide. If you offered the same price, there was a chance to get free calligraphy pieces.

This price was to please these customers who loved ancient culture and styles. It was a number that had been specially created and was almost perfect.

There were also some numbers that weren’t bad. For example, Ye Xiu could add another nine or a few more nine, but he obviously couldn’t be too greedy.

“99,999 gold coins?”

Ban Feimeng muttered the number in a low voice, and a look of realization appeared on her face.

This price was very low, so low that she could not believe it. Even for those calligraphy masters among ordinary people, they could sell their paintings for several million gold coins. For someone like Ye Xiu, a mysterious master, his painting was simply a priceless treasure.

However, it was probably precisely because it was a priceless treasure that its price was meaningless.

She originally wanted to use her family’s connections to try her best to collect gold coins. It wouldn’t be difficult for her to gather several million gold coins.

But on second thought, what difference was there between one gold coin and ten million gold coins to this master?

And the meaning of the numbers was even more important.

The number 99,999. Perhaps it represented the pinnacle of the human world, a little more to ascend to the divine realm.

Ban Feimeng somewhat understood.

This senior only cared about the meaning of a number, so no matter how many paintings he sold, the price for each piece wouldn’t exceed 99,999 gold coins.

It was likely that no matter how many gold coins she gave, this senior would definitely not accept it!

This painting was equivalent to giving it to her.

Ban Feimeng took a deep breath and bowed deeply to this senior who lived in seclusion in the mortal world, “Thank you for your gift. I don’t dare to covet more. I’m willing to pay 99,999 gold coins for this painting.”

Ye Xiu nodded his head in satisfaction. This child was indeed sensible.

“Then this is the price..”
