Supreme Soaring Immortal

Chapter 168 Discovery

Qin Shuang calms down, carefully looking at the paper in front of her, reaching out and rubbing the paper, she realizes that its a very expensive type of rice paper. But its different from real rice paper. Rice paper is white, but this paper is a pale golden color, and even the texture is slightly different from rice paper. It seems to be made similarly to rice paper but adding other things in the process of making it.

She stretches out her finger and rubs the spirit on the paper and recognizes what kind of paint it is, because she has seen it before, her Queen Mother uses it to write. This paint is called cinnabar.

"Can cinnabar be used to make spirit patterns on this kind of paper?"

Qin Shuang is really curious, but now she knows that its not the time to study. She looks at the spirit pattern on the paper, looking for the node of this spirit pattern, she is going to break down the spirit pattern.

Soon, Qin Shuang finds the node, taking out a carving knife, she makes a stroke on several nodes, accidentally scratching the paper. Then Qin Shuang breathes a sigh of relief and relaxes. She had just scratched the paper with the carving knife and cut the paper. Qin Shuang"s carving knife scratched just above the node of the spirit pattern. If she made a mistake, don"t say the paper is cut, it will cause the spirit pattern to explode.

"Yunxia, collect the paper I"ve finished handling and put it in the cart outside." Qin Shuang softly commands.

"Yes, Miss!"

Qin Yunxia then crouches down, beginning to fold up the large paper pieces Qin Shuang threw aside.

Qin Shuang holds a carving knife in one hand and pulls a piece of paper out from the rubbish pile from time to time. She appears slow, so she directly transmits her soul power out, sweeping through the paper, and then waves the carving knife to sever the spirit pattern nodes.

At this time, the supervisor comes down from the second floor again and walks in the front of Qin Shuang, frowning as Qin Yunxia gathers the paper together, making a loud rustling noise:

"Don"t make such a big noise, all the painters are here. They need quiet."

"Yes!" Qin Yunxia responds softly, and then lightly moves.

Qin Shuang bows her head and says nothing, she is still focusing on destroying each of the spirit pattern nodes. After the supervisor leaves, Qin Shuang looks around. After determining that there is no one in the whole hall, Qin Shuang puts away the knife in her hand and waves to Qin Yunxia:

"Yunxia, help me spread out all of the paper."

When Qin Shuang saw the painting here for the first time, her heart fluttered. This is a way of making spirit patterns that she hasn"t discovered yet. A kind of spirit pattern that is made with pen and ink without using a carving knife, and of course, special paper.

So shes going to study it. Her decision is to pick a relatively intact spirit pattern, bring it back and study it carefully. She believes she can work it out. This is just a different way of making spirit patterns. The principles should be the same.

She and Qin Yunxia have just spread out two sheets of paper lightly, and then they hear a "peng" sound from the door. They see Zhen Zining come in from behind the door and following her is a middle-aged scholar. Both have a porcelain jar in their hands. But the porcelain jar in the hand of Zhen Zining is obviously much smaller than the porcelain jar in the man"s hand.

"Baozi Qing, do you need so much cinnabar? Why can"t the two of us equally divide this cinnabar?" The voice of Zhen Zining is a little sharp, and there is obvious anger in her voice.

Qin Shuang hurriedly gives Qin Yunxia a look, then takes out the carving knife in her hand, pretending to squat down and begin dealing with those spirit patterns. Now, Zhen Zining is walking quickly in the direction of the stairs.

The scholar, however, walks slowly in the direction of the staircase, but without a trace of politeness he says:

"You"re a painter, and I"m a painter, you need cinnabar, and I need cinnabar. I went earlier than you, and the matter is as simple as that."

"Humph!" Zhen Zining coldly scoffs: "Don"t think I don"t know how much cinnabar you have received recently. Do you even need so much cinnabar?"

At this point, Zhen Zining"s footsteps pause, turning to Baozi Qing, glaring at him, she says: "You just don"t want anyone to have any cinnabar, so that no one can experiment with their spirit paintings. It"s no problem if you want to win at the celebration, but these means are really despicable."

Baozi Qing rolls his eyes and says, "I"m not as mean as you think, and I used points in exchange for this cinnabar. I"ve done nothing wrong. Zhen Zining, if you want to win at the celebration then I think your crazy, your mentality has already shown signs of problems. I advise you to have a good rest. After you take a break, the new cinnabar will be delivered. You won"t have to worry about cinnabar."

"Shameless!" Zhen Zining scolds him in a low voice, then turns around and walks upstairs.

With a faint smile on his face, Baozi Qing walks up the stairs and whispers, "If you want to win at the celebration, then your dreaming. The next batch of cinnabar will be delivered in a month, I"ll see what you use to make spirit paintings? Haha…"

The hall quickly falls silent. Qin Shuang looks around in both directions, then gives Qin Yunxia a gesture, and the two begin to roll out sheets of paper again.

Two people are very fast, and Qin Shuang has a never-forget ability, so when she sees one, she can remember it. Even so, it still takes the two nearly a quarter of an hour to select a spirit painting, Qin Shuang puts that spirit painting aside, and then quickly destroys the other spirit painting nodes.

Qin Shuang is full of energy, today is a lucky day for her because she has discovered a new way to make spirit patterns. While she was disposing the spirit paintings, she thought in her mind that if she can replace jade and carving knives with this special paper and cinnabar, the process of making spirit patterns would be easy and portable, its truly a good method.

It"s just that……

Her hand pauses for a bit, don"t tell me the Spirit Pattern Masters on the Martial Continent haven"t discovered this method? It"s impossible not to discover it, so there must be something wrong.

Excitement and anxiety are intertwined in her heart, and now she desperately wants to go back and study this method of making spirit patterns. So she handles it very quickly, and soon negates all the abandoned spirit paintings, and then moves out with Qin Yunxia, putting them on the cart, and walking towards the east gate.

Before reaching the east gate, Qin Shuang sees no one around, and hands a folded spirit painting to Qin Yunxia:

"Yunxia, you put this in my study right away, and then you stay at home."
