Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Qing Yurui made two more strokes, only to find that her energy was drained again, and one-tenth of the amethyst in her hand was also consumed. Her expression changed slightly, and the paintbrush in her hand transmitted a message.

With her current abilities, she is unable to draw the complete Tree of Life.

What should I do?
Qing Yurui felt uneasy. If she couldn't paint the Tree of Life, she couldn't show her value. Without showing her value, she would have no resources. After all, she had fallen from being a prodigy to being in the mire!

Perhaps she was too anxious, for her paintbrush sent her another message.

"Yu Rui? What are you daydreaming about?" Chief Qing asked, displeased.

Qing Yurui woke up with a start and quickly looked at the sapling on the penholder. After observing it carefully for a while, she began to draw again with a nervous heart.

The sapling was small, with few branches and sparse leaves. Qing Yurui quickly drew the sapling.

The three clan leaders looked at the meter-tall sapling and fell into deep thought.

"Qing girl, have you awakened the Art of the Painter?" Chief Bi asked doubtfully, secretly hoping so too, but knowing full well that it was unlikely!

“No, I am a spirit painter.” Qing Yu Rui shook her head.

"And this sapling of yours?" Chief Bi asked, puzzled. It looked quite ordinary, not at all like a manifestation of a Spirit Painter. Instead, it looked more like a manifestation of a Materializer.

Chief Qing was even more nervous. He looked at his daughter with a questioning look in his eyes.

"This tree... has healing properties." The moment Qing Yurui drew the sapling, she fully understood the abilities of this Tree of Life sapling. It was a scaled-down version of the Tree of Life, but even as a scaled-down version, its functions were enough to rival those of the Azure Rank!
This delighted her immensely. Of course, she couldn't reveal all of such a powerful ability; she had to hold back some of it.

Moreover, the ability to heal alone is enough for the Qing Clan to mobilize the entire clan to support her.

"Healed?" the three clan leaders asked curiously.

"Yes, it heals!" Qing Yu Rui's confidence and pride were hard to conceal. "It heals physical damage and heals the body from impurities!"

"Healing from the entry of turbid qi into the body?" Chief Bi asked in surprise. "How does it work? Is it able to heal organs damaged by the entry of turbid qi?" This is indeed a rare ability!

"Not only that!" Qing Yurui shook her head. "It purifies the turbid energy and heals damage caused by it!" Moreover, it can absorb turbid energy to replenish energy during the treatment process!
Qing Yurui's eyes shone brightly. With this ability, the turbid energy that others regarded as a scourge was instead a resource for her cultivation!
Moreover, judging from the current rate at which the turbid energy is rising, she won't have to worry about a lack of resources even if she cultivates to the Saint rank!
"Hiss~" Envy flashed in the eyes of the two clan leaders, Bi and Cui. If this talent were in their clan, surpassing the Qing clan in the next hundred years would not be a problem.

What a pity, this good thing has fallen to the Qing Clan again!
"Congratulations, Brother Qing! Congratulations, Brother Qing!" The two clan leaders bowed to Clan Leader Qing to offer their congratulations. "Yu Rui, Brother Cui and I have watched you grow up. If any of our juniors are ever affected by turbid energy in the future, we will need your help."

Qing Yurui quickly agreed.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone had awakened. The three clan leaders offered words of encouragement before returning to their respective homes.

After Qing Yurui returned home, she was summoned by the Qing clan chief before she could even rest.

This is the secret meeting room of the Qing clan chief. At this moment, eight people are sitting in the meeting room, all of whom are the Qing clan chief's confidants.

After returning from the temple, Chief Qing learned about the strange phenomena that occurred when Qing Yu Rui awakened. Combined with Qing Yu Rui's various reactions in the temple, he realized that the small tree that Qing Yu Rui manifested was not as simple as he had imagined.

"Yu Rui, tell me more about the tree's abilities." Chief Qing looked at Qing Yu Rui seriously. The other elders also looked at Qing Yu Rui with expectant expressions.

Qing Yurui swallowed hard, her heart pounding and her body temperature rising slightly.

Gudong~
"Father……"

Chief Qing softened his tone, "Yu Rui, in this room are all your closest elders, people you can trust."

Qing Yurui nodded, took a deep breath, summoned her paintbrush, and then pointed in the air, and a small sapling appeared in front of everyone.

Unlike its ordinary appearance in the temple, the sapling now radiates a soft glow.

"This is my spiritual art: Tree of Life!" "Tree of Life?" Everyone was astonished.

"Well, the Tree of Life has healing, attacking, and defending abilities..." In the end, Qing Yu Rui didn't reveal the ability to absorb turbid energy.

Even so, everyone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment upon hearing this. Wasn't this ability too comprehensive? "Yu Rui, are you sure? I've never heard of any spiritual technique that simultaneously possesses healing, attack, and defense abilities."

Others nodded.

Chief Qing then had Qing Yurui demonstrate it directly, and now no one questioned it anymore. They all began to flatter Chief Qing and Qing Yurui.

"Miss Yu Rui, I would like to ask, which artist created this spiritual technique?" The elder who asked the question had a grandchild who would awaken as a painter next year.

Qing Yurui was taken aback upon hearing this, and the image of Sun Yu flashed through her mind. She pursed her lips and smiled, "It wasn't created by the creative director."

"Not designed by a creative director?" the elder asked in surprise. "Could it be that Miss Yu Rui designed it herself?"

Qing Yurui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled shyly. "Mm."

"Hiss~ Truly, new talents emerge in every generation!" The elder's eyes deepened. "Congratulations, Clan Chief!"

The chief of the Qing tribe waved his hand with a smile.

The meeting soon ended, leaving only Chief Qing and Qing Yurui in the secret meeting room.

“Yu Rui, tell me about your idea for the Tree of Life.”

Facing her father, Qing Yurui had no intention of hiding anything and recounted in detail how Qingkun organized the design competition and how she obtained the original manuscript of "The Tree of Life".

"Father, what if others find Sun Yu, or he paints the 'Tree of Life' for others?" Qing Yu Rui secretly didn't want others to obtain such a powerful spiritual technique!

After all, she wasn't the only one with a spiritual affinity value exceeding 90!

If others obtain a copy of the Tree of Life, perhaps next year there will be one or more people with the same spiritual arts.

Moreover, when she thought of Sun Yu, who was knowledgeable and quick-witted, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

A complex expression flashed across Chief Qing's face, followed by an expression of appreciation. He said, "You don't need to worry, Father. I will have someone handle this matter immediately."

Such unique and powerful spiritual arts are only fit to be held by a select few.

"What about Brother Kun and Uncle Wenli?" Qing Yurui looked reluctant, but her eyes gradually hardened.

"Qing Kun, if I remember correctly, he is the grandson of the Third Elder. The Third Elder belongs to my faction, and there are no outstanding children among the three lineages, so there's no need to worry. As for Qing Wenli, he is, after all, a loyal servant of my Qing family. I will handle it properly."

After the clan chief finished speaking, he looked at Qing Yurui and said, "Your most important task now is to consolidate your Green-Rank cultivation."

"Awakening is the Green Rank, which proves your high talent, but it also means that cultivation is difficult. Moreover, you cannot advance to the next level until you have completely stabilized your Green Rank cultivation. This process is very long, one year, three years, or even five years."

"You have to be mentally prepared!"

"it is good!"

While Qing Yurui was peacefully cultivating at the Qing family, Shi Jia's life was plunged into turmoil. The story begins on Awakening Day.

After she successfully awakened as an object painter that day, she followed the path pointed out by the "cakes". Instead of returning to the temple, she arrived at a huge tree that blocked out the sky.

It was that ancient banyan tree she knew so well, the tree of life she had given to Qing Yu Rui. (End of Chapter)
