Chapter 995: Chapter 303: Silver-Haired Doll! Spiritual Painting Avatar!

Is this a hand-crafted figurine?!

Right? It’s the kind of figurine we understood in our previous life, isn’t it?

Twenty-two centimeters tall, exactly the right length to fit snugly in the palm of your hand.

And the exquisite craftsmanship of this figurine is truly different from ordinary cultivators; it’s a different kind of beauty, so beautiful it makes you wonder what it is.

Then the ceramic doll curiously glanced at Yuchi.

What are you staring at?

Staring at you, so what?

After they exchanged glances, she gently spat and suddenly darted into the wooden plaque. When Yuchi looked again into the world inside the plaque, the doll appeared in the scroll world, casting another fishing rod, continuing to fish with delight.

So can anyone explain to me what this thing does?

Qi Hongyu finally couldn’t hold back, covered her mouth, and laughed until tears streamed down her face, tilting her head with tears flowing from her eyes as she gazed upward at a forty-five-degree angle.

Qi Baiyu had a face full of youthful giggles.

She could definitely see that Yuchi wasn’t familiar with what this thing was, and that’s understandable; it’s hard to encounter such things without leaving the third state. You know, this stuff was procured from outside, requiring quite some effort from other states.

"Young Master Yuchi, this is a Spiritual Painting Avatar from the fifth state, a specialty of the fifth state."

"Similar to our third state’s Celestial Craft Workshop, it is located in the fifth state, and is called the Spirit Painting Pavilion."

"In the wild mountains and hills there exist many ’beings,’ but these ’beings’ themselves lack ’life,’ it’s literally ’being without life,’ in our dictionary it might be called ’spirit,’ or maybe ’essence,’ and the Spirit Painting Pavilion engages in transactions with these ’spirits’ through communication, offering them flesh to reside in the painting, granting them ’life,’ thus transforming into Spiritual Painting Avatars."

"Thus, the spiritual painting avatar is a great blessing, signifying birth and rebirth, and even allows the bearer to have their wishes fulfilled, make things go smoothly; it’s a real household travel essential and an excellent gift for guests."

Qi Baiyu held the painting plaque with one hand and gave a thumbs-up in the direction where no one was, accompanied by a beautiful smile spreading across her face, revealing her bright silver teeth.

Yuchi: "..."

Qi Baiyu: "..."

Pauses.

Blushing red: "Sorry, Young Master Yuchi, it’s a habit, I usually handle the selling of such plaques, so I accidentally got into the mode."

Yuchi was wiping away tears of laughter, saying to her while smiling: "The First State’s beast bone, the Second State’s inscriptions, the Third State’s mechanisms, the Fourth State’s divine weapons, the Fifth State’s ghost taming, the Sixth State’s illusion realm, so this is the Fifth State’s ghost taming, that’s new to me."

Qi Baiyu nodded firmly: "Yes, you could say that."

"But calling it ’ghost taming’ is actually inaccurate, it should be ’spirit teaching,’ spirits and ghosts are easily mixed up; it’s ’spirit,’ not ’ghost,’ the whole process is actually granting new life. Essentially, it’s Spiritual Painting Avatar, a renowned specialty of the Spirit Painting Pavilion, quite powerful indeed."

"If a spiritual painting avatar acknowledges you and accepts you as its master, then it can gradually grow, its strength increasing, and eventually become a loyal ally!"

Understood!

This time I truly understood!

Yuchi carefully observed the landscape painting within the plaque, seeing a small ceramic doll fishing by the riverbank, evidently the spiritual painting avatar refers to this ceramic doll, and the name sounds quite nice: "But this guy who looks like a silver shuttlecock, can she really fight?"

Silver shuttlecock... Qi Hongyu was no longer acting like a lady, kneeling on the ground pounding her fists in laughter, tears streaming down her face.

Qi Baiyu was hugging a big tree, banging her head against it, making a thumping noise.

What a silver shuttlecock.

"Haha, I’m just purely curious. After all, she’s about palm-length, her silver-white hair is very beautiful, but it’s too long, trailing on the ground; plus she’s wearing a light blue flared dress, at first glance I really thought it was a shuttlecock fishing on the riverbank."

"Hahaha!"

Their laughter was infectious, especially with Yuchi’s innocent expression, making it hard for them to hold back.

Hahahahaha.

The laughter from Yuchi’s side brought a chorus of giggles like clinking bells from the courtyard, and amidst the laughter, Yuchi seemed to hear some water sounds from within the painting plaque.

He curiously looked toward the painting, and then noticed the distant ceramic doll stepping across the water, the tapping sound resonating.

The figure grew larger and larger.

Finally, a stunningly beautiful face occupied the entire frame of the landscape painting, with big eyes scanning Yuchi.

Yuchi: "You can hear me?"

Ceramic Doll: "..."

Yuchi: "Can you hear me!?"

Ceramic Doll: "..."

Meeting each other’s gaze.

Silence.

Then she emerged, delivering a punch right to Yuchi’s head, causing his head to jerk back, as a large bump appeared on his forehead.

"Hmph."

A disdainful snort could be heard, and her figure continued walking across the water in the painting, growing more distant, eventually returning to her own shore.

And this time Yuchi understood.

It turns out the ceramic doll uses her long hair for fishing; grabbing a strand, it transforms into a fishing rod... Who knew you could fish this way?!

And Qi Baiyu, wiping her tears, blushing pitifully returned beside Yuchi, stating: "Young Master Yuchi, though she’s not as powerful as you, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, her strength is roughly at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and it’s just her current stage."

"She can grow stronger with elixirs, continuing to develop, so although essentially she isn’t human, she’s actually another kind of cultivator."

"A Spiritual Painting Avatar."

"Characterized by savage strength, it’s purely a body techniques’ style."
