After answering Fu Xiyan’s question, Gu Zhiqi turned to Fu Xiyan and asked, "Are all of Fu Yingying’s paintings in the studio?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Fu Xiyan shook his head, "No."

"She started painting at a very young age. Besides painting at home, she also painted at school, and every year she sold quite a few; many art museums have her paintings hanging."

Thinking for a moment, Fu Xiyan said to Gu Zhiqi, "For example, the Imperial Art Museum has several."

Before knowing that Fu Yingying is not their family’s third child, Fu Xiyan tried his best to fulfill her requests whenever Fu Yingying asked for anything.

For example, going to see exhibitions where Fu Yingying’s paintings are displayed.

Listening to Fu Xiyan, Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly and did not speak further.

Fu Xiyan asked, "Can Grandpa’s Vital Breath and destiny be recovered?"

Gu Zhiqi pondered for two seconds before saying, "Vital Breath can only be partially restored, as for destiny... We need to first find the person who gained the destiny."

Obviously, Old Master Fu’s Vital Breath was significantly extracted, and what is inside the painting is just a small part.

The rest of the Vital Breath must have been stored elsewhere.

And destiny...

So far, whether destiny is on Fu Yingying remains unknown.

The Mystic Master who extracted Old Master’s Vital Breath and destiny is highly cultivated, possibly even higher than Gu Zhiqi.

Therefore, she cannot calculate where the rest of the Vital Breath and destiny went.

It’s unknown whether the Mystic Master who extracted Old Master Fu’s destiny and Vital Breath is the one who took Fu Yingying away at that time.

After hearing Gu Zhiqi’s reply, Fu Xiyan paused for a moment, then continued to ask, "How can we recover the Vital Breath?"

Gu Xiyue had seen the importance of Vital Breath with him.

Recovering some of the Vital Breath could extend the old master’s life a bit longer.

Later, it’s not impossible to slowly retrieve the destiny and the remaining Vital Breath.

Gu Zhiqi: "Let’s get the painting first."

Thus, the three of them returned to the studio.

After entering the studio, Meng Yunhe looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Master Gu, how did Fu Yingying manage to trap destiny in the painting?"

Meng Yunhe thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

Fu Yingying is not a Mystic Master, so how did she trap the old master’s Vital Breath in the painting?

Gu Zhiqi scanned the messy studio, finally resting her gaze somewhere, then stepped over.

Meng Yunhe and Fu Xiyan immediately followed.

Gu Zhiqi picked up a pen container from the ground and handed it to Meng Yunhe, "Using this."

Meng Yunhe: ?

"A pen container?"

Meng Yunhe mumbled as he reached out to take the pen container, turning it over and examining it thoroughly.

After a while, he looked at Gu Zhiqi with puzzlement, "It seems like there’s nothing special."

Gu Zhiqi was squatting and picking up oil paintbrushes from the ground, hearing Meng Yunhe’s words, she responded without lifting her head, "Try destroying it."

Meng Yunhe’s eyes showed some doubt, but he followed Gu Zhiqi’s advice and tried to destroy the pen container. This attempt made him realize the issue.

However, still somewhat unsure, he looked at Gu Zhiqi and tentatively said, "It seems that a Formation is carved on the pen container."

It can’t be seen by the naked eye at all.

Even probing with Yuan Force wouldn’t reveal anything, only upon attempting to destroy it did he faintly feel he touched a Formation, an invisible Formation.

"Master Gu, is Uncle’s Vital Breath absorbed by this pen container? Then how did it get..." Before finishing his sentence, Meng Yunhe noticed the oil paintbrush that Gu Zhiqi was holding.
