Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 642

Chapter 642: 642
Dong Fang Bi's position in the Path of Crafts was very high and was merely below a countable number of elders .



Therefore, every day, he exuded an aura of seriousness and sternness . Other than the ones he's been friends with for a long while, very few people dare to even speak to him . Yet now, he couldn't upkeep his normal collectedness .

Because he had been waiting for the design before his eyes for a whole 10 years .

These 10 years, there hasn't been a moment when he wasn't wishing for someone to have completed the mission . Pity though, these 10 years, this mission was like an anchored rock in an endless ocean . He had only felt disappointment .

Yet now, this mission had been completed . He was also very certain that if the design was executed using the listed materials, one would truly be able to increase the defensive abilities of a ninth realm treasure to the eighth realm .

Therefore, why wouldn't he be excited?

Looking at how excited Dong Fang Bi was, the other elders were a little surprised but quickly let it go .

They asked themselves and realized that if something they'd been waiting for for 10 years finally appeared before them, they would also be crying and trembling from delight . They wouldn't react any different than Dong Fang Bi .

But it wasn't the time for him to be crying and wiping away snots .

"Elder Dong Fang, please calm yourself down . We have something important to ask you . " A grey-haired elder said in a low voice .

"Something important?"

"That's right . The rules of this division are set, we must assign a rating to every mission . " The grey-haired elder sighed helplessly, "However, we really have no idea how to rate such a piece of art . If we give a perfect rating, we feel like it would be an insult . But if we don't give a rating, it's against the rules . "

"That's true . It seems like you have some eyesight . "



Dong Fang Bi nodded in agreement, "You should know that this mission, from certain angles, was a difficult problem that nobody could solve for thousands of years . To give someone who solved it a perfect rating really would humiliating . "

At this, everyone nodded in agreement .

Luckily, there was nobody else here other than these people . Or else they would be puking blood from this statement .

The perfect rating!

For a normal person, even acquiring once in their life would be an immense honor . Yet to Ling Xian, this had become an insult . How unbelievable was this?!

This fact also correctly reflected how heaven-defying what he did today was!

"I think, the word 'perfect' can only express how I am satisfied . It cannot describe the intricacy and the thoughtfulness of this design . "

Dong Fang Bi frowned . After thinking for a short while, he finally thought of a vocabulary that could describe everything this design was .

Using his finger as a pen and his Qi as ink, he wrote down a word by the design .

Magnificent .

Bright gold light was surrounding this word .

Just then, on the screen right behind the name of the mission, a word that nobody had seen before appeared . But it was a word that everyone knew what it represented .

Just like a giant rock being thrown into the middle of a pond, the calmness and clear water were no more!



The entire Hall of Missions roared!

Nobody at the scene could contain their emotions as they crazily screamed!

Magnificent!

Such a simple word, yet it weighed as much as a mountain, pressing down onto everyone's chest, disabling them to breathe .

Not everything could be described as "magnificent" . Only those who have made a giant contribution or made a huge difference in everyone's lives, deserve this word .

It also had to be an achievement that the majority of people approve of .

Honestly speaking, what Ling Xian did today couldn't be described as "magnificent" . At least to most people, it didn't really embody the definition of the word . But to Dong Fang Bi, to those on the Path of Crafts, this was something extremely magnificent .

Though one could not confirm that he had successfully solved the question that's been around since the history of time . At the very least, he had provided a theory .

This was the same as giving craftsmen a source of hope . Hope that perhaps one day, they would really find a method to allow treasures to surpass the realm it belongs!

If one explained it this way, it was worthy of the rating magnificent .

At least inside the Hall of Mission, nobody argued against it .

Everyone's face heated as they scanned all around in an attempt to pinpoint the mysterious master who had made such shocking achievements .

Even Ling Xian himself, after seeing the word magnificent, was a little dumbfounded .

Honestly speaking, he didn't think too much of what he did . For one, he didn't' really understand the traditional way of crafting .

For two, because written in the inheritance of the Immortal of Crafts, there was a miraculous technique that allows crafts of one realm to exert power that surpasses its realm .

This was why Ling Xian was able to finish this mission .

Of course, he was not dumb enough to provide everyone with that technique . He merely used it as a hint and came up with his own design .

That, plus some defensive materials, theoretically could increase the ninth realm craft to release eighth realm power .

"Based on what I know, there is no such rating as 'magnificent' . It seems like someone added it himself . "

Ling Xian bitterly chuckled . Ever since he began his cultivation journey, he had earned many titles,
such as heaven-defying genius, or best of the younger generation, but nobody has ever called him magnificent .

"Whatever . People can say whatever they want . As long as I can keep my head clear and not forget my original intentions because of others' flattery, then I am good . "

Ling Xian faintly smiled . He no longer thought of this and began to focus on his jade token .

This mission was open to all levels, plus, the contribution point was as high as 100 . All that coupled with curiosity, was the reason why he accepted that mission .

Now that he had completed the mission, the contribution mission naturally fell into his pocket .

And that mission was the last allowed mission he could do for the crafts division . In other words, if he still didn't want to reveal his alchemy skills, then he had to leave the Hall of Mission now .

Therefore, of course he had to check just how many points he earned today .

He had reached the upper limit of allowable missions for both crafts and array divisions, which meant he completed 200 missions . With an average of 10 contribution points each, and add the last 100 contribution points for that last mission, he earned a total of 2100 contribution points .

Though compared to the total points required to buy the Shang Qing Technique, this number was nothing . To the descendants of Shang Qing Sect, this was a notable amount of wealth .

Especially since he earned all of this in just a few hours, the shock this brought was great .

Therefore, Ling Xian was very satisfied with this number .

"Though I am far away from getting enough to buy the Shang Qing Technique, to have earned more than 2000 points in just a few hours is not an easy feat . "

Smiling in satisfaction, Ling Xian placed the white jade token into his pouch and planned on going back to his residence for rest .

After all, after such high use of his brain, no matter how powerful he was, he could still feel exhausted .

However, just as he stood up, a burst of bright laughter erupted suddenly . Then, Dong Fang Bi pushed open the door and walked in .

The moment he saw Ling Xian, he froze . What he was saying also changed as a result .

"Sorry, I came uninvited . I hope a grandmaster can forgive- Eh? Grandmaster?"
