“Using the Divine Soul?” Li Hengsheng was surprised that the so-called ‘moving with the heart’ was actually achieved through the power of the Divine Soul, not the heart. However, since he started practicing, he had never paid attention to how to use the Divine Soul, he hadn’t even observed his own Divine Soul.

“Master, do we martial artists also cultivate the Divine Soul? Isn’t the Divine Soul something only painters can cultivate?” Li Hengsheng didn’t quite understand.

He had only heard from Li Changqing since he was a child that painters cultivate the Divine Soul, martial artists train their bodies, and a strong Divine Soul can create better paintings. The best way to cultivate the Divine Soul is to paint, which is why Li Changqing spent so much money on painting.

Unfortunately, it seemed that painters also had talent limitations. His own martial arts talent was poor, and his father’s painting talent was not much better. They were a typical pair of useless father and son.

“Everyone has a Divine Soul, but we martial artists and painters use the Divine Soul differently. Painters cultivate the Divine Soul, we martial artists borrow the Divine Soul. To be precise, our application of the Divine Soul is not as high, and most of us martial artists do not have the qualifications of painters. Even if we forcibly learn to paint, it’s useless. Therefore, most of us martial artists will never advance to the realm of the Divine Soul in our lifetime.”

“This is determined at birth. When you hold a brush, you know whether you have the posture of a painter.” Xu Muhai explained to Li Hengsheng: “Actually, if you calm down now and perceive yourself in a way of comprehension, you can see your own Divine Soul.” Hearing Xu Muhai’s words, Li Hengsheng calmed his mind and tried to perceive himself.

A moment later, the wind quieted down, as if the outside world had been cut off, even time seemed to have stopped flowing.

Li Hengsheng felt the world around him quiet down. He opened his eyes and saw that everything around him had darkened, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

In front of him was an endless darkness. Li Changqing was not afraid because he could feel that he had entered a world of his own. When he looked around, he found a faint light in the darkness in one direction.

The light was very faint, but it was particularly noticeable in the darkness. The light was a small light ball, although it was called a small light ball, it was only the size of a soybean, very tiny.

He wanted to touch it with his hand, but Li Hengsheng found that he could never reach it.

“Only as big as a soybean?” Li Hengsheng emerged from the darkness, frowning.

“My Divine Soul is the same, all the size of a soybean.” Xu Muhai laughed: “Although some martial artists’ Divine Souls may change, the final result is at most the size of an apricot, it can’t get any bigger.”

“So for us martial artists, although the Divine Soul is important, the requirements for the realm of the Divine Soul are not that high. But it’s different for painters. They walk the path of soul cultivation. The stronger their Divine Soul cultivation, the stronger they are.”

“But I heard that painters can also use our martial artists’ moves, and they can learn the techniques we use just by looking at them. Is this true?” Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s right.” Xu Muhai nodded: “Basically, it’s almost the same. Although it’s a bit exaggerated, the general statement is correct.”

“How is that possible? If they don’t cultivate martial arts, they don’t have true essence in themselves, how can they perform moves?” Li Hengsheng found this question somewhat inconceivable.

“That’s the advantage of a strong Divine Soul. A strong Divine Soul can replace the power of true essence, so painters can simulate the moves of martial artists after watching them.” Xu Muhai sighed: “But painters are not omnipotent. Although they can simulate the moves of martial artists, the requirements for the Divine Soul are very strict. They are destined to be unable to simulate the top martial arts. So although painters are powerful, their achievements are limited. Even the strongest painters with the title of Painting Immortal cannot compare with the land immortals among martial artists.”

“But it still feels a bit unfair.” Li Hengsheng sighed lightly: “Being able to learn just by looking at it, painters are too powerful. Even if they can’t learn very powerful martial arts, that’s absolutely enough. Besides, even among us martial artists, how many people can reach the realm of land immortals?” As he spoke, Li Hengsheng looked at Xu Muhai and said: “And I heard that the person who broke into the Dao Mountain Ancient Land a few days ago was also a painter. It is said that he even learned the ‘Five Absolute Seals’ of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land. According to reason, our ‘Five Absolute Seals’ of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land is also a very powerful martial art. This person can actually learn it, so I say painters really have a big advantage.” Hearing Li Hengsheng’s words, Xu Muhai almost wanted to give a bitter smile.

“Painters do have advantages, but the requirements to become a painter are extremely high. Those who have the qualifications to become painters are one in a million. Moreover, the cultivation of the Divine Soul is more difficult than our martial artists’ cultivation. It is even rarer to become a high-level painter or a powerful person like the Painting Sage.”

“As for our ‘Five Absolute Seals’ of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, not every level of painter can simulate it. It’s just a special case.” After saying this, Xu Muhai muttered in his heart: Who do you think is as perverted as your dad?

The Five Absolute Seals are at his fingertips, damn, he’s even more proficient than me. Li Hengsheng nodded with some skepticism.

Having obtained the answer to the ‘sword moves with the heart’ from Xu Muhai, Li Hengsheng returned to Qingyu Mountain. Although Xu Muhai said it was unlikely, Li Hengsheng still wanted to try the realm of ‘spear moves with the heart’.

But as soon as he got back, Xu Kui came up and handed Li Hengsheng a letter.

“No name?” Li Hengsheng looked at the letter, which had no name or address, only written to Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng was curious, this letter didn’t look like it was sent by his father. He returned to his room and opened the letter. Brother Li, how have you been recently?

Upon reading the first sentence, Li Hengsheng was completely stunned. The feeling was somewhat familiar. Lu Qiaoqiao?

Impossible, wasn’t Junior Sister Lu taken away? But when Li Hengsheng finished reading the letter, he was completely shocked. The letter was actually sent by Lu Qiaoqiao.

Although it was written by someone else on her behalf, many of the contents in the letter were things only Li Hengsheng and Lu Qiaoqiao knew. This couldn’t be faked.

It was indeed a letter from Lu Qiaoqiao. Li Hengsheng was somewhat excited, and Lu Qiaoqiao even said she would continue to write.

Knowing that Lu Qiaoqiao was safe in the Long Night Ancient Nation was a relief. Moreover, in the letter, Lu Qiaoqiao said she had become a warrior of the Postnatal Realm, which made Li Hengsheng happy for her, while also lamenting his own lack of talent.

“Junior Sister Lu, we will definitely meet again,” Li Hengsheng said with certainty. At the same time, he thought of that person.

Chu Changkong. The man who looked down on him as if he were an ant. Li Hengsheng, being young, also had a temper.

One day, he would defeat Chu Changkong fair and square, and take back his Junior Sister Lu. What about the pride of the Long Night Ancient Nation?

Li Hengsheng secluded himself again, intending to push his cultivation to the peak of the Transcendence Realm.

Then he would try to enter the Postnatal Realm. The actions of the Changqing Trading Company in Path Mark City had completely enraged Hai Dongsheng. Upon learning of the Changqing Trading Company’s actions, Hai Dongsheng laughed outright. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to anger him.

Hai Dongsheng looked at the crippled Hou Wu, who was currently lying on a stretcher, his legs completely useless. He was tearfully recounting the arrogance of the Changqing Trading Company, and even exaggerated how Yan Botao had disregarded the Hai family.

Hearing this, Hai Dongsheng’s face turned cold and terrifying.

“Yan Botao even said, ‘What’s the Hai family? If they dare to come, I’ll kill them all, leaving no chicken or dog alive.’”

“He also said he would cripple your third leg,” Hou Wu cried. His appearance was as pitiful as it could be.

“Shut up, you useless waste,” Hai Dongsheng said, although angry, he was not a fool. He knew that most of the content was fabricated by Hou Wu.

But the attitude of the Changqing Trading Company was something Hai Dongsheng could not tolerate. It seemed like they had broken Hou Wu’s legs, but in reality, they had slapped Hai Dongsheng in the face twice.

This was disregarding the Hai family. Hai Dongsheng’s anger hadn’t been this intense in a long time.

In Path Mark City, and even in the entire Minghong Prefecture, the Hai family’s word was law. Who dared to resist? The Hai family had the old master.

He was a genuine Prenatal Realm expert. Which family or power dared not to give face? Even the Peak Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land would speak politely when he saw him.

Yet a small Yan family, who had just advanced to the Prenatal Realm, dared to disrespect them and openly confront the Hai family?

“Master, don’t be angry. How about I go to the Changqing Trading Company and issue them an ultimatum?” The old man suggested.

“Right, has the Yunling Trading Company made any moves so far?” Hai Dongsheng suddenly found it strange.

“No, the Yunling Trading Company has been quiet.” The old man also found it strange: “The Yunling Trading Company is being too quiet. Don’t they have any thoughts about this Changqing Trading Company?”

“Is Lin Wanghuan, that cunning woman, planning something else? Maybe she wants my Hai family to be the scapegoat, and then their Yunling Sect can sit back and watch the fight,” Hai Dongsheng muttered to himself.

The Yunling Trading Company naturally received the news about what happened in the Changqing Trading Company in the afternoon.

“Is the Changqing Trading Company really fearless because they are young and inexperienced, or do they have a strong background?” Lin Wanghuan was also pondering this matter.

Compared to Hai Dongsheng’s sharpness, Lin Wanghuan was more cautious. The Changqing Trading Company dared to open a branch in Path Mark City, they must have investigated the situation in Path Mark City beforehand.

So she immediately had the Yunling Sect investigate the background of the Changqing Trading Company to avoid causing trouble for herself. She was not a brainless person like Hai Dongsheng, who thought he was invincible.

“Miss.” At this moment, Aunt Meng came in from outside and handed a letter to Lin Wanghuan: “This is a letter from the Sect Master.”

“Urgent?” Seeing the mark on the envelope, Lin Wanghuan quickly opened the letter. There was only one sentence on it.

Do not provoke the Changqing Trading Company! Seeing this letter, Lin Wanghuan was taken aback. Confirming that it was her father Lin Shengnan’s handwriting, Lin Wanghuan still found it very strange. Her father had actually written such a serious sentence.

What kind of background does this Changqing Trading Company have? Her father, the Sect Master of the Yunling Sect, was actually so wary of this Changqing Trading Company.

For a moment, Lin Wanghuan felt somewhat relieved that she hadn’t impulsively taken action like the Minghai Trading Company. Otherwise, it could have caused a major disaster.

“Let’s wait and see what moves the Hai family makes,” Lin Wanghuan said lightly. She was quite willing to sit back and watch the fight.

Had the Hai family, this behemoth, provoked someone they couldn’t afford to provoke? Thinking about the possibility of the Hai family suffering a setback, Lin Wanghuan felt genuinely happy.

The next day. Chenyu Restaurant.

“Welcome back.” The owner of Chenyu Restaurant, Zhou Wangcai, was very happy. The pre-made dishes he bought from the Changqing Trading Company yesterday were very popular.

The customers were all very satisfied, and the turnover of his small restaurant had increased a lot. Just as he was sending off a group of customers, there were footsteps at the door.

Zhou Wangcai thought it was another customer and quickly turned around with joy, saying, “Welcome…” But as soon as he turned around, he found that the visitors were actually members of the Hai family.

They were wearing the Hai family’s clothes, which were very eye-catching.”So, it’s the esteemed friends from the Hai family. Please, have a seat, have a seat.” He dared not offend the people from the Hai family, so he quickly offered them seats.

“Are the pre-made dishes selling well?” The leading member of the Hai family sneered.

“Ah, thanks to your blessings, they are indeed.” Zhou Wangcai was still confused about what was happening when the disciple raised his hand and pointed at the things in the shop, whispering, “Smash it.”

“Bang!” As soon as the words fell, a member of the Hai family kicked a table into pieces, and the others began to wreak havoc in the restaurant.

“Don’t smash, please!” Zhou Wangcai was stunned. But before he could step forward to stop them, he was kicked in the stomach, causing him to cramp in pain.

“Beat him.” Zhou Wangcai was still confused about what was happening when he was brutally beaten. He was beaten so badly that he cried out for his parents, his bones were broken, and his shop was smashed into a mess, not even a complete bowl was left.

“If you dare to buy things from Changqing Trading Company again, this will be your fate. Every time I come to your shop, I will smash it. Every time I see you, I will beat you. Do you understand?” The disciple of the Hai family angrily scolded as he was leaving.

“I understand, I understand…” Zhou Wangcai whispered as he lay on the ground. Not only this restaurant, but almost all who bought pre-made dishes from Changqing Trading Company yesterday were beaten by the Hai family.

Several restaurants and taverns had already been smashed. The Hai family also made it clear that anyone who dared to cooperate with Changqing Trading Company, or place orders with them, would be considered an enemy of their Minghai Trading Company, an enemy of the Hai family!

An enemy of their patriarch, a powerful figure at the peak of the Innate Completion Realm! This statement scared all the merchants in Path Mark City.

“Are there any more on the list?” The Hai family’s thugs walked on the street, ready to find the next target.

“Boss, there’s one more left. They also bought pre-made dishes yesterday.”

“Whose? Go smash it!” The leading member of the Hai family waved his hand.

“Let me see, it’s Yunling Trading Company.”

“Oh, let’s go back.”
