After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 24 24. Genius
The next day, early.

Song Yan followed Senior Brother Zhang into the house to see the "red pepper"-like thing growing in the crevice of the rock, and was told that "this is really the Fire Pepper." Senior Brother Zhang saw that he was interested, and even gave him a stone flower bed that was half a meter long and wide, with spiritual soil inside.

Song Yan directly gave the flower bed to the princess and let her do whatever she wanted with it.

After taking a casual stroll outside, it was clear that the news of "two disciples disappearing" had not spread widely, so there was not much commotion.

Song Yan went to the delphinium forest as usual.

But today, he really "practiced what he preached" and just stood at the edge of the woods instead of going as deep as he did yesterday.

This went on for three days.

On the fourth day, when he was about to go to the delphinium forest again, he was stopped by Zhang Yin.

"Don't go for now."

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

"Some independent cultivators worshipped by the Wei royal family, together with some disciples of the Southern Wu Sword Sect, quietly sneaked into the outskirts of our Puppet Sect. Many official disciples who were on patrol have disappeared. Some were found dead, while others have completely disappeared." Zhang Yin's face was solemn.

Song Yan showed just the right amount of shock and fear: "When did this happen?"

Zhang Yin chuckled and said, "In the past two days, a patrol disciple in the Delphinium Forest has also disappeared. You are lucky. But luck can't always be good. Don't go for the time being."

Song Yan clenched his fist and said angrily: "Nanwu Jianmen, you are going too far!"

"That's right." Zhang Yin said, "We just did some odd jobs, got some furnaces and tripods, and protected those gangs in the martial arts world that were biased towards us, but they insisted on attacking us. This is too much!"

Song Yan:.
Ok.

They captured large numbers of people as slaves and killed people at will; they robbed beautiful women and handsome men from the world, causing families to be broken up; they protected evil ways in the underworld, giving bad people a protective umbrella and providing fertile soil for the cancer to thrive.
Brother, oh brother, you are so shameless.

However, now he is also in the Demon Sect, and in order to survive, his actions have become somewhat demonic. Although it is not his original intention, and although he is helpless, in this world, "actions are judged, not the heart".

Thinking of this, Song Yan said: "It just so happens that during this period of time, I have also gained some insights into the "Skin Painting Technique", so I just happened to stay on the peak to make leather.

It’s still the same old rules. I’ve done my share as a senior brother, and the contribution points belong to him.”

Zhang Yin smiled happily upon hearing this, and put his arm around his shoulders affectionately, saying with a smile: "I like people like you, Junior Brother. Don't worry, with me here, you won't suffer any loss."

As for the "insight into the Art of Painted Skin", Zhang Yin pretended not to have heard it.

In his opinion, although his junior fellow apprentice was diligent and had some talent, he was still a long way from becoming a qualified "leather master".

One month later.
Zhang Yin held a "two-headed wolf shadow puppet" made of monster skin in his hand, and stood in the deep winter sun, looking at it over and over again.

The mountain wind blew, ruffling his hair, but his eyes were glued to the shadow puppet, motionless.

Suddenly, his Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed hard, and his eyes showed disbelief.

As a typical disciple of the Demon Sect, Senior Brother Zhang rarely loses his composure, but he has done so quite often in the past few days.

He looked at the "two-headed wolf shadow puppet" and recalled the previous "two-headed wolf shadow puppet". He suddenly felt that if "the shadow puppet thirty days ago was ordinary, the shadow puppet fifteen days ago was good, then the current one is excellent."

Since returning from the Delphinium forest, Junior Brother Song has been making rapid progress in leather making at a speed "visible to the naked eye."

Zhang Yin has always believed that "spiritual cultivation is a very slow process, and everything needs to be done imperceptibly", but he has also heard some things.

The process of cultivating this realm is quite long, because it depends mainly on one's aptitude.

Although it is difficult to measure one's aptitude, it can still be assessed through some tests.

But, the practice of magic is another matter entirely.

Understanding is something that cannot be seen or touched.

In fact, the comprehension of most cultivators is similar, but there are very few people with very good comprehension. When those people comprehend a spell, there is a huge difference between them and ordinary cultivators.

This has little to do with Xuan Gen.

Some people do not have good aptitude in the mystical realm, and are even mediocre in the comprehension of most spells. However, they may show extremely strong comprehension in a certain type of spell!

If they don't have the opportunity, they may never discover that they have this talent in their entire lives.

But if you meet it, it will burst into a stunning and brilliant brilliance!

Zhang Yin had only heard of this kind of person from others.

But today, he believed that he had really encountered it.

"This shadow puppet has already taken on a divine look, it's really lifelike."

"Junior Brother Song, you really have the talent to become a leather master."

"He just went to the Delphinium Forest to have a look. If he could get guidance from a famous teacher..."

Zhang Yin didn't dare to think about it anymore. He took a deep breath, ran to the top of the peak, and came to the cave residence of Cheng Danqing, the master of Nanzhu Peak.

On weekdays, the master would practice in the cave and he would not come to disturb him.

But today, he felt that this matter was no small matter and he had to talk to his master.

dong dong dong.
He raised his hand and quietly opened the stone door.

However.
There was no movement from the door.

Zhang Yin knocked again. Still nothing.

It seemed as if the master who was supposed to be practicing in the cave was not here today.

"Where is Master?" Zhang Yin looked a little puzzled, but still turned around and left.

The next day, Zhang Yin finally met Cheng Danqing.

"I was practicing in the mansion yesterday. Maybe I was too engrossed and didn't hear you knocking on the door." Cheng Danqing explained casually, "What do you want?"

"Master, please have a look." Zhang Yin took out two "two-headed wolf shadow leathers" and handed them over excitedly.

The two shadow puppets, one is ordinary, the other is lifelike.

Cheng Danqing took it, looked at it, raised the lifelike picture, and asked, "Who made it?"

"Junior Brother Song Yansong!"

"What about this one?" Cheng Danqing raised the ordinary one again.

"It's also Junior Brother Song Yansong, but he did it a month ago."

Zhang Yin immediately explained the whole story, but he skipped over the issue of embezzlement.

Cheng Danqing grabbed the two shadow puppets and examined them again and again, and suddenly asked, "Are all the shadow puppets he made this month still there?"

Zhang Yin said, "Yes, the sect is very busy these days, and the disciples who came to pick up the goods were late, so all the shadow puppets are still in the warehouse and have not been sent out yet."

"Go get it."

After Cheng Danqing finished speaking, he added, "I'll go with you to see it!"

After a while.

Thirty "two-headed wolf shadow puppets" were placed one by one in front of Cheng Danqing.

Cheng Danqing read them one by one, and when he reached the end, his calm eyes moved.

He uttered: "Genius."

Zhang Yin clapped his hands and said, "This is a true genius. I never thought I would meet one."

Cheng Danqing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Go tell Song Yan that I will help him go to the main peak and personally visit Master Shi for his matter."

"Yes, Master!"

evening.

Zhang Yin came to the leather-making cave, watching Song Yan's focused eyes, drawing and making leather smoothly, and waited patiently. When he finished, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Song Yan understood and followed him out of the cave.

Zhang Yin said seriously, "Junior brother, I found that you are very talented in leatherworking. Therefore, I specially asked Master to help you go to the main peak and visit Master Shi for your matter."

Song Yan said: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Zhang Yin waved his hand and said, "We are brothers, no need to say more. In addition, from now on, the leather you make will be counted as your own contribution points, no need to give them to me."

Seeing that Song Yan wanted to say more, Zhang Yin whispered, "How about I return everything to you? But, can you give me some time?"

Song Yan:.
The next day.

The main peak of Piying Peak.

In a mysterious dark hall, a strange and huge figure sat with his back to the light. The air was thick with death and his face could not be seen.

Cheng Danqing entered from the side door of the agency and reported respectfully.

The man replied.

The voice was very strange, as if two faces were mixed together, saying something noisily.

“Leather chefs are talented people, and we also need such talents.

But Xuanyu always shines by itself
In this way, Shi Zuo Weng will hold a monster exhibition in Linglong Valley next month for a period of half a month to observe the god of monsters.

Many leather technicians, even those with qualifications, will go there.
You recommend him to go to Linglong Valley to see the world and test his level.

We'll talk about the rest later."

"Yes."

Cheng Danqing replied respectfully.

The mysterious figure continued, "How is the task I asked you to do to find the spy from the Southern Wu Jianmen going?"

Cheng Danqing said respectfully: "It has been arranged. I believe there will be news soon."

The mysterious figure said, "Hurry up. King Wei has already fled to the Mountain and Sea Monster Kingdom. He should be able to meet his elder in the Multi-tailed Dragon Man-eating Fox Tribe soon. Our chance is coming soon too."

By the end of his words, he was grinning.

Cheng Danqing curled his lips and started laughing "hehehe".
