Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 63 Brothel Level
"That's enough, Mei Weixuan. If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here."

Master Yin, who was sitting in the middle, roared angrily. Mei Weixuan also stopped talking awkwardly, but signaled Zhong Lin with his eyes.

Master Yin grabbed at the air, and the painting in Zhong Lin's hand was pulled by an invisible force and flew directly into his hand.

Zhong Lin's pupils shrank and he roared in his heart.

"True Qi? Internal Force? Is this old man a top-third-grade warrior?"

Zhong Lin had already condensed his Qi and blood, and knew that Qi and blood could not do such miraculous things. The person in front of him was definitely a top-three-grade expert.

"It is truly lifelike and vivid. I didn't expect that such superb painting skills could be found in this small Heishan County." Master Yin praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, old man."

Zhong Lin quickly saluted, especially after seeing how powerful the old man was.

"Haiming."

"Haiming is here."

"Send this painting and letter to Baicaotang as fast as you can. Don't delay."

"Yes."

Meixianzun respectfully took the painting and the letter that had been prepared long ago, quickly left the hall, and at the same time signaled the constable to take Xu Ruo away.

Zhong Lin also said respectfully, "I will take my leave now."

"Not urgent."

Master Yin looked Zhong Lin up and down, and finally his eyes stopped on Zhong Lin's hands, his tone a little anxious.

"Besides portraits, can you draw flowers and plants?"

Zhong Lin also understood the change in Master Yin's tone. Although he didn't know what he was up to, he nodded and said, "Of course I will."

"Can you show it to me?"

Zhong Lin nodded and returned to the desk. He scanned the hall and finally stopped at an orchid in the corner.

"Then I'll paint this orchid!"

He looked the orchid up and down, then picked up the paintbrush and started painting on the rice paper.

In just half an incense stick of time, the image of the orchid appeared on the paper, and this time Zhong Lin even colored it.

Unlike the flat portrait just now, in the sunlight, the orchid looks like it is growing on rice paper. It is not just a painting.

"This……"

The other three people in the room were all shocked at this moment, especially the woman, who subconsciously stood up in front of the painting and reached out to grab it.

The painting is still a painting, not a real object, just a flat surface, and there is no way to grab the orchid.

"Amazing! What kind of painting technique is this?"

The woman's voice was extremely soft, like spring water flowing down from an iceberg, clear, cool and pleasant.

"I call it stereoscopic painting."

"But you created it yourself?"

"Yes."

The three-dimensional painting was brought from the previous life. It has never appeared in this world before. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a self-creation.

The woman nodded and turned to say, "Master Yin, this person is indeed qualified to paint your hard work."

Master Yin once again took the orchid painting into his hands, examined it carefully, and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

"Haha, great, great, your name is Zhong Lin? Would you like to come with me to Tianyang County and paint for me?"

Zhong Lin took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Zhong Lin is willing."

He didn't dare to refuse!
How could Zhong Lin dare to refuse a martial arts master of the third rank, a person who made the Heishan County Magistrate bow down to him?

"Okay, go back and make some preparations, and follow me back to Tianyang County in three days."

"Yes."

"Weixuan, go see him off." "Okay!"

……

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?" Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"Mei Weixuan."

"Mei? Then the Mei County Master..."

"That's my second uncle." Mei Weixuan casually said his name, then asked curiously, "Brother Zhong, your painting skills are amazing. You haven't told me how much you charge?"

Zhong Lin's mouth twitched. How could this guy still remember it?

"It depends on the situation. At least five taels, no limit on the amount."

"What do you mean? Charge for seeing people?"

"That's not the case. If you just want to paint normally, it's five taels. If you want to paint something more beautiful, the price will be different." Zhong Lin said.

Photoshop editing! Of course the price is different.

Mei Weixuan raised his eyebrows.

"You can play like this? Yeah, everyone loves beauty. Who doesn't want to make themselves more beautiful, or at least paint themselves more beautiful? Brother Zhong, if you go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with this trick, you will definitely be a guest of honor. Not only will you be able to play with girls for free, you can even pay for them!"

The admiration on Mei Weixuan's face was almost beyond words.

"Gam, it's not really free, is it?"

"Ashamed, ashamed."

Zhong Lin pretended to be shy.

At this moment, Mei Weixuan's eyes turned red and he wished he could take his place.

I thought visiting brothels without paying only existed in novels and books, but I didn't expect to actually encounter one in real life.

"Come on, brother, let me see it."

After saying that, he pulled Zhong Lin out. The force in his hand made Zhong Lin stagger. It was obvious that he was also a martial arts master.

"Where?"

"A brothel!"

"It's daytime now."

"That would be more exciting."

Soon, the two of them appeared above Nuanxiang Tower.

"Oh my! Painter Zhong is here really early! Please sit down first. I'll have someone call Fuxiang out."

The madam of Nuanxianglou was also sleepy at this time. It was obvious that she had not yet caught up on her sleep. She was forcing herself to stay awake and talk to Zhong Lin.

"No hurry," Zhong Lin took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Send someone to Shi Ding Lou to order a table and some good food."

"Okay! Please wait a moment."

After saying this, the madam walked downstairs, twisting her huge hips, and ordered the servants to bring tea quickly.

Mei Weixuan stood aside, observing the entire Nuanxiang Tower and commented, "It's far inferior to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but this madam still has her charm. You can even pinch her butt to make water come out."

"It's just a small county town. How can it compare with the prosperity of Tianyang County? Brother Mei, please be patient. When we get to Tianyang County, Brother Mei will lead the way and I will treat you." Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"How can that be? Since we're in my area, of course I'll treat you. Brother Zhong, let me tell you something! I'm not trying to belittle Nuanxianglou. Since ancient times, there have been different levels of naming for brothels. The name Nuanxianglou doesn't sound very impressive. But when we get to the county town, I'll show you what a true paradise on earth is."

"Level? Please elaborate."

Mei Weixuan chuckled, "Brothels have been named since ancient times. First and second-class names are mostly courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions, while third and fourth-class names are mainly rooms, studios, buildings, shops, and lower places. Take the Xiaoxiang Pavilion as an example. The girls there are also of different levels, such as Qingguan, Dajia, Hongpai, Oiran, female schoolmasters, and female musicians. Tsk tsk, it's not comparable to ordinary brothels."

Looking at Zhong Lin's confused eyes, Mei Weixuan became interested. After all, everyone has a hidden attribute of wanting to teach others.

"Qingguan means they sell their art but not their bodies. They are all famous courtesans or Kabuki actors with outstanding beauty and talent. I don't need to say much about the oiran! Hongpai are the beautiful and popular girls in the brothel. They usually have some talent too, and they sell both their art and their bodies. Female schoolmasters are famous courtesans with outstanding talent, who are proficient in poetry and calligraphy..."
