Chapter 155: Chapter One Hundred Fifty-One: Calligraphy
Translator: 549690339 &
The so-called Qi Recovery Method is a kind of breathing technique for martial
artists m the Mortal Realm. When one’s Dantian Spirit Power is saturated, it is of
no use, but after a battle where spirit power is depleted, it can effectively
replenish the lost spirit power to its maximum.
From his self-developed fusion martial arts technique, Brother Xu must emit at
least 4,500 points of spiritual power for a fusion skill, yet he can perform them
consecutively. This could mean he has a secret method to conserve output of
spiritual power. However, a more plausible possibility is that he possesses an
unparalleled Qi Recovery Method.
This is the key factor that allows him to perform beyond his level. Without this
method, his Sword Technique will be exhausted after being used twice. What use
would that be?
But this is the answer that Tang Luo least wants to hear because even an
average martial artist in the Mortal Realm would use a decent Qi recovery
method. It means that the group of top practitioners can all fight at the level of
Brother Xu, which makes Tang Luo a little hesitant.
Fusion martial arts are indeed strong, and they can handle common martial
artists well enough. However, when facing the top tier ones, they seem
insufficient. It seems he still needs to think of a solution.
Tang Luo frowns, feeling a bit frustrated.
Brother Xu, who received the plaque, is joyful. He carefully puts the plaque into
his chest pocket, patting it with satisfaction. After all, his happiness is bound to it.
“Cousin-" Brother Xu puts his hand on Tang Luo’s shoulder and asks, “Will you
be staying in the mansion for the next three days?”
Tang Luo nods absently, still contemplating the path of his martial arts
development.
He originally thought that his solitary martial fusion technique was a unique skill,
even if it wasn't, it could take the lead for a while. However, he now discovered
that the researchers from the Holy Clan have long surpassed his progress.
Just like when you come up with a brilliant moneymaking idea and prepare to
reach the peak in life, you find that someone has already become rich with the
same idea. This undoubtedly makes people feel discouraged.
He can only sigh that there are a lot of smart people in the world. The so-called
competition will always exist among the top-tier people, and not with the ordinary
people.
“Let's go to help old Bai sell words tomorrow!” Brother Xu says excitedly. “Sell
words?” Tang Luo asks, somewhat confused. Ten days have passed; he has
almost forgotten that scholar.
“Yes, indeed,” says Brother Xu, nodding vigorously, his face full of strange
respect as if on a pilgrimage.
“Sell words then. What's with that look on your face?” Tang Luo asks, puzzled.
“Hey- Ah!" Brother Xu waves his hand, a look of sincerity on his face. “These are
no ordinary words. What old Bai writes are these!”
With a dazzling thumbs-up gesture right in front of Tang Luo, he is momentarily
blinded by the light.
“Can you put out the light?”
“This is just to let you see it clearer,” Brother Xu says, turning off the blade aura
surrounding his fingers with a sheepish smile.
Tang Luo shakes his head and asks, “Where does he sell words?”
There’S nothing much to do at the moment, so it might be good to look at some
calligraphy to freshen up his mind. After ten days of tireless research on fusion
martial arts, he feels exhausted.
Although he doesn’t know much about calligraphy, he still has basic aesthetic
standards as he has lived for two lifetimes. He wanted to see what this
calligraphy that Brother Xu, a son of a Holy Clan, praised incomparably was like.
“In Fengging Alley, the name seems to be Fulin Street,” said Brother Xu, smiling
wide.
Just my luck, Tang Luo thought, isn't that near the Star Pavilion?
“Alright, let's go tomorrow.”
He hasn't been to the pavilion for a few days, it's time to see if Hua Ji is slacking
off. b
The early morning of the following day
“Cousin, hurry up!” Brother Xu, full of spirit, leads the way in front of him and
urges Tang Luo.
Tang Luo laughs, giving an utterly perfunctory smile. He continues to stroll at the
same slow pace, ignoring the impetus.
He's actually quite amazed at his cousin. After their chat last night, he went
straight to the Tianxiang Building. Before dawn, he came back to the mansion
dragging him out of bed.
The sun hadn't even risen, and there was nobody on the streets. Who would be
buying calligraphy this early?
After a leisurely stroll to Fulin Street, they see the scholar, accompanied by a
child, writing on a simple desk.
We're here!” Brother Xu, wearing an excited face, tells Tang Luo and walks
forward hastily.
What'S there to be exited about? Tang Luo murmurs in his mind but follows him
anyway.
The dim light of dawn does not illuminate much, making the yellow paper appear
even darker. The child is on his knees on the chair, earnestly writing four
characters: “big, small, me, you.”
Yang Fan, are these the characters you're learning today?” Brother Xu asks,
looking down with his shadow shading the paper.
Yang Fan, after finishing the last stroke of the character “small”, gently places his
pen on the inkstone, looks up at Brother Xu, and gives him a bright smile,
revealing a mouth missing a few baby teeth.
“Brother Xu, you're here! And... Brother Tang?”
Tang Luo just nods and praises, “The characters are well written.” “Of course, the
words written by Old Bai are these!” Brother Xu praises while standing by; this
makes Mi Bai feel a bit embarrassed.
“Brother Xu, you flatter me. I'm still far from being a master in calligraphy. I need
more practice,” Mi Bai responds earnestly to Xu with not a hint of smugness in
his voice.
After ten days, Mi Bai's injuries have healed. Wearing a gentle expression and a
white gown, he possesses the demeanor of a scholarly hermit, making an
extremely good impression.
If the person himself is a wise man, then his writing must be even more
remarkable.
“Is this written by you?” Tang Luo looks at the characters Mi Bai has prepared to
sell, hanging on the shelf, and asks in surprise.
Mi Bai nods, takes down the character frame, and hands it to Tang Luo.

This is a piece of “Lingjiang” by Mr.
Huang Ting, mainly describing the

So he directly comments, “Without mentioning anything else, just by this one, it's
better than Huang Ting’s.”
“That's why cousin has a discerning eye!” Hearing Tang Luo's words, Brother Xu
loudly compliments.

He isn't flattering Mi Bai just because

they're close friends, but he truly

believes Mi Bai's characters are
exceptionally well-written, flamboyant
and unrestrained, completely
unfettered. The entire line seems to

something an ordinary person can

He keeps telling Mi Bai this, but the obstinate scholar always says he lacks a lot.
It's rare that Tang Luo agrees with him, which makes him extremely excited..
