Creation Color Master

Even Tang Tiansheng, who sits firmly in the court, has heard of Wang Ximeng's name.

After listening to Shadow's report, Tang Tiansheng became interested in Wang Ximeng.

"Is his painting skill really as good as the rumors say?"

Shadow replied seriously, "Your Majesty, I was fortunate enough to see it once. His unique painting style seems to be unique. His painting skills are realistic, as if he has transferred the real scene onto the scroll. It is so beautiful."

"Nowadays, whether it is high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they all admire his paintings. There is even a saying that 'it takes ten thousand gold to start a painting, and a million gold to complete a painting'."

Tang Tiansheng became even more interested after hearing this, so he asked curiously: "Do you have this painting of Wang Ximeng in the palace? Bring it out for me to appreciate."

Shadow whispered, "Your Majesty, this man has just become famous, and he has only just arrived in the imperial capital. I'm afraid there are no paintings of his in the palace."

"I heard that the eldest prince Tang Chengqian is very fond of his paintings. Yesterday, he spent 900,000 taels of gold to buy his new work. Would you like me to bring it to Your Majesty for a look?"

Tang Tiansheng glanced at Anying and said softly, "I'm not going to steal my son's things. So, after the morning court tomorrow, summon him to the palace. I want to watch him paint in person to see if he is as good as the rumors say."

Shadow nodded and said yes when he heard it.

Baisong Mountain is thousands of miles away. Although there are many wandering cultivators practicing and seeking enlightenment here, compared with its vast area, they are just a drop in the ocean. Chu Mo didn't even see a ghost in the whole morning.

However, there are abundant resources for cultivation in the mountains, and various spiritual objects can be seen everywhere.

For someone like Chu Mo who likes wild beauty, it is simply a paradise in his dreams.

Pick a plant of flesh-growing grass, which is the main material for refining the anti-aging pill, which has the effect of slowing down aging and beautifying the skin.

Chu Mo walked leisurely in the woods in the mountains. If any monsters appeared, the six sword slaves hiding nearby would discover them first.

Chu Mo, who was happily collecting spiritual objects, didn't know that at this moment two people were trying to find out about him, and were heading towards his direction.

Because Chu Mo killed twelve blood guards and had marks on his bodies, the two of them searched for him through the marks that had not disappeared.

The Eleventh Blood Guards and the Tenth Blood Guards looked at each other. They never thought that Chu Mo would not run away but actually enter Baisong Mountain.

After receiving the message from their master asking them to bring them back alive, the two of them rushed directly into the forest and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Chu Mo, who was unaware of the coming crisis, was sitting under an ancient tree, eating a spiritual fruit he had just picked with relish.

In a remote courtyard in the outer city of the imperial capital, Wang Ximeng and Lai Buyi sat opposite each other. This was their current residence.

Although the courtyard is not large, it has an exquisite layout. Various magical herbs and flowers are planted in the courtyard, and a deep well is located next to the medicinal field.

Lai Buyi waved his hand and activated the Feng Shui layout in the courtyard, blocking off the entire courtyard layer by layer.

Lai Buyi looked at Wang Ximeng who had just returned seriously and said slowly, "Are you really planning to seek an official position and enter the palace to serve as an official?"

Wang Ximeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, during the time I followed my lord, I felt that the Xiayang Dynasty was not as peaceful as it appeared. If I want to seize the initiative in the future, serving as an official in the court is the most convenient way."

"Don't forget that the Emperor's Shadow Guards are worthy of praise for their ability to obtain information. They stay by the Emperor's side, so they can be the first to know if there are any changes in the situation and react accordingly."

"Moreover, the power of the lord in the court is still too weak. I, Wang Ximeng, am no weaker than others. I should join the game and lend a helping hand to my colleagues."

Lai Buyi looked at Wang Ximeng, who was born with him. Along the way, they could be called good friends and confidants, but in his previous life, he resigned from his official position and traveled for half his life and did not want to get involved in the intrigues of the court.

Wang Ximeng knew what Lai Buyi was thinking and did not force him to join in.

Looking at the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup, Wang Ximeng thought about the various arrangements he had made since entering the imperial capital. Now that he had successfully created momentum, it would only take a few days for him to rise to the top and become an official in the court, or to end up living in the streets.

Lai Buyi also fell silent. He was still a little conflicted in his heart, but Wang Ximeng's choice was undoubtedly the most correct one, because once he was appreciated by the emperor, it would mean that he would have abundant resources for cultivation, which would allow him to quickly improve his strength and better help his lord.

Just as the house fell into silence, Shadow arrived outside the courtyard gate with the imperial edict.

When Shadow approached and was about to push the door, he discovered a feng shui pattern rising into the sky in the courtyard. Shadow's eyes flickered, and for a moment his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Although he is not a Feng Shui master and his strength has reached the peak of the Third Realm Cave Heaven Stage, he knows everything in the world and has read countless classics. He can see the extraordinary Feng Shui pattern at a glance.

Moreover, although the person who set up the formation is currently relatively weak and the Feng Shui pattern he set up has only reached the peak of the second level of Soul Condensation, he can see that the person who set up the Feng Shui pattern has already comprehended the seed of the Great Dao.

But what Shadow didn't know was that this was just a casual arrangement by Lai Buyi.

Shadow stood outside the door blankly, thinking about the current situation of the Imperial Observatory, and muttered: "Another rare talent, I wonder if he is willing to serve as an official in the court."

Thinking that he could not delay too long, Shadow activated the secret passage rules, easily broke through the Feng Shui pattern and entered the courtyard.

Inside the house, Lai Buyi's face changed drastically while he was deep in thought, which made Wang Ximeng beside him realize something. As the two of them were on guard, Lai Buyi clasped his fists and said loudly, "I don't know which senior has come to my humble home. Please show yourself to see me."

In a second, the figure of Shadow appeared, sitting upright in a chair and looking at the two with interest.

Wei Wei sighed and said, "I have been in charge of the secret guards for so many years, and I never thought that there would be two such talented people under my nose."

Lai Buyi and Wang Ximeng were stunned, and then said respectfully: "Your Excellency is very impressed. A poor cultivator cannot even solve the problem of his own cultivation when he is busy with cultivation every day. How can he be called a great talent?"

Shadow heard the hidden meaning in the two people's words and couldn't help but feel a little happy. It seemed that the two people also wanted to serve as officials in the court. As long as he introduced them, the matter would be accomplished.

Thinking of this, Shadow stood up and said seriously: "Wang Ximeng accepts the order."

The two men knelt on the ground and received the order.

"The Emperor has ordered you to report to the palace before the end of the morning court tomorrow. There must be no mistakes. Granted by the Emperor."

The two men thanked the emperor before they stood up.

Shadow smiled and said, "Please stand up, Wang Ximeng. His Majesty has heard about your deeds and is particularly interested in your paintings. You must prepare well and strive to win the emperor's favor tomorrow."

Wang Ximeng quickly bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, my Lord. I will do my best to prepare and let the Emperor see my best paintings tomorrow."

Shadow nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he looked at Lai Buyi who was standing beside him and said, "Old man, was the Feng Shui layout of the courtyard designed by you?"

Shadow seemed to be asking, but his tone was particularly affirmative.

Lai Buyi knew that he could not hide it from the other party, so he blamed himself for being careless. He did not expect the other party to come so quickly.

But he remained calm on the surface and said, "Your Excellency, it is me."

Shadow looked at Lai Buyi and asked again: "Are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"

Under such circumstances, Lai Buyi could only nod slightly in agreement.

After getting the answer he wanted, Shadow gave some further instructions and then left in a hurry.
