Chapter 3: This Must Be a Peerless Expert!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

No wonder this young man had such an extraordinary temperament, but he was only a mortal. His cultivation should have reached an extremely high level. It was just that his cultivation was shallow and she could not see through him.

Yu Linglong was overjoyed. She knew that some experts liked to play in the mortal world. This should be the biggest opportunity she had ever encountered since she started cultivating.

The ordinary-looking young man in front of her was undoubtedly an immortal with a high cultivation level who played around in the mortal world.

When she thought of this, Yu Linglong immediately bowed respectfully and called out, “Senior…”

Liu Changgong was stunned when he heard this. Then, he couldn’t help but laugh. He waved his hand and said, “Fairy, you must have misunderstood. I’m just a mortal. I can’t afford to be a senior…”

Yu Linglong wanted to expose him and say, “Senior, stop pretending. That painting of yours has already sold you out. You’re definitely a senior expert, right?”

But she immediately reacted.

That’s right. This senior pretended to be a mortal and opened such a small shop at the foot of Mount Taiyin. He must have his own reasons and didn’t want to expose his identity.

If she had to expose him, wouldn’t she make this senior unhappy? Perhaps this fortuitous encounter would turn into a disaster.

Moreover, it was very likely that the Grand Moon Sect would be implicated and thus be removed from the cultivation world.

Thinking of such a terrible consequence, Yu Linglong shivered. She hurriedly explained to Liu Changgong, “I have no hobbies since I started cultivating. I just like paintings. Your attainments in calligraphy and painting can be said to be top-notch. You have benefited me greatly. You are definitely worthy of being called senior by I, Yu Linglong.”

Only then did Liu Changgong understand. So that was how it was. No wonder this woman looked at his painting of the sunrise and mountain shadow as if she had seen a peerless treasure. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Liu Changgong couldn’t help but feel a little smug in his heart. Indeed, with his attainments in calligraphy and painting, there was absolutely no problem for this female cultivator to call him senior.

The young girl next to her opened her eyes wide and asked in puzzlement, “Senior Sister Yu, when did you start to study painting and calligraphy?”

“Before I started cultivating, I was very obsessed with painting and calligraphy. It’s just that I was busy cultivating and you guys don’t understand it. Alright, now that you’ve chosen, don’t say anything else.”

Yu Linglong opened her mouth and casually found an excuse to beat around the bush. At the same time, she stopped her junior sister from speaking.

Then, she bowed and said respectfully to Liu Changgong, “Senior, I really like this painting. I wonder if you can part with it and sell it to me? I’m willing to pay any price.”

She looked at Liu Changgong with longing eyes.

Yu Linglong had already taken off her storage bracelet. As long as Liu Changgong did not mind, she was ready to stuff the whole bracelet into Liu Changgong’s hand, afraid that he would refuse.

Liu Changgong smiled slightly and said in a flat tone, “If you really like it that much, I can give it to you directly. Why talk about business?”

“Give it to me?!”

Yu Linglong was completely dumbfounded. She wondered if there was something wrong with her ears that caused her to mishear.

“R-R-Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

Liu Changgong did not care at all. He could draw more than a dozen of such paintings in the morning. The materials used were only ordinary ink and paper. The cost was almost nothing.

In his previous life, with his skills, such paintings were indeed valuable. However, in this immortal cultivation world, it really did not matter.

Hearing Liu Changgong’s affirmative answer, Yu Linglong was so excited that she could not control herself.

She had actually obtained this opportunity so easily. It was as if she was dreaming!

“Thank you, Senior!” Yu Linglong replied happily.

Although she was happy, Yu Linglong didn’t lose her manners. She was still cautious in her words and actions, afraid that she would offend this senior expert.

Liu Changgong casually took down the painting and said calmly, “Meeting is fate. A mere painting is not worth mentioning.”

Meeting each other is fate… Cultivation shop… Fate…

Yu Linglong understood a little. So this was the meaning of this senior opening this shop.

Senior Changgong was really eloquent and full of zen.

Yu Linglong praised him in her heart. Then, she bowed to Liu Changgong and respectfully took the painting and put it away. Then, she paid for the few clay figurines that her junior sister was going to buy. Finally, she asked carefully, “Senior, I wonder if I will have the chance to see you again in the future. May I ask you some questions… About painting?”

Liu Changgong nodded and said with a faint smile, “Of course. As long as you are willing, you can do it anytime.”

A brilliant smile bloomed on Yu Linglong’s face. She saw that there seemed to be a lot of paintings scratched on the wall in the backyard.

Although the chance of obtaining another painting was gone, and she did not even dare to think about it anymore. As long as she had the opportunity to listen to the teachings of her senior in the future, she would be very satisfied.

Yu Linglong was filled with gains and said goodbye to Liu Changgong with joy.

Looking at the backs of the two beautiful women leaving, Liu Changgong was a little emotional.

‘I did not expect that there are immortals who appreciates my paintings. Not only that, the female immortals have very good appearance and temperament. It is really unexpected ah.’

“It’s okay to use your talent to get a fan… Haha…”

Liu Changgong laughed and soon put the matter behind him.

——————————

And right now, those two girls.

Yu Linglong stepped forward in a hurry. She couldn’t wait to fly back to her cave and immediately take out the senior’s painting to figure out the true meaning behind it.

“Senior Sister Yu, you are walking so fast that I can’t keep up.”

When Yu Linglong heard the tone of her junior sister, she suddenly stopped and turned around to stare at her.

The young girl was startled by her appearance and thought that she had accidentally provoked her senior sister. She stammered, “Yu… Senior Sister Yu… I didn’t mean that. It’s okay if you walk faster… I can still keep up.”

“Junior Sister!”

Yu Linglong’s expression became very serious. “You must remember what I’m going to say next.”

The younger woman could not help but be stunned when she saw her senior sister’s serious expression.

Yu Linglong said each word carefully. She said with extreme seriousness, “You must take care of the few clay figurines you just bought in the shop. Don’t break them, lose them, or even give them to others. That might be the biggest opportunity in your life, and it might even affect your future path of cultivation. Do you remember it?”

“I remember it!”

The girl was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
