"Drip!'
'Calligraphy level, second-level peak!'
Soon, the universal trading system gave a specific level.
'Sure enough, it has reached the second-level peak!'
Lin Yun took a deep breath in his heart.
There is a big difference between the second-level peak and the second-level mastery, even though it is only one level apart.
It is difficult to achieve perfection in everything, and the same is true for realms...It is difficult to reach the pinnacle of a realm.
Lin Yun has studied hundreds of martial arts techniques and knows this best.
Through his own practice, sometimes the difficulty of raising a martial art from mastery to the pinnacle is more than a few times that of raising a martial art from beginner level to mastery.
In practical terms, second-level pinnacle calligraphy can already write works that give birth to second-level spirituality.
This is a huge difference.
'I wonder if Mr Li has seen my work?' Just then, Lin Yun looked up at Li Ji and smiled slightly, saying.
At this moment, an idea came to his mind.
'Huh?' Li Ji was taken aback. The other person's work? Could it be that the other person also practices calligraphy?
Lin Yun looked at Wu Bo.
'Mr Li, I forgot to tell you just now, Mr Lin brought you a gift when he arrived. This is...' Wu Bo also reacted, and he quickly turned around and picked up a scroll from the table next to him, saying.
Originally, he had planned to show this scroll to Li Ji, but Li Ji's reaction just now was too great, and he did not have time to do it.
'Let me see...' Li Ji nodded.
Although his realm of calligraphy has reached a high level, he is still very curious about the words of his peers, especially since this peer is also the famous owner of Qingyun Company.
'Don't you see that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning...'
Soon, a magnificent piece of calligraphy appeared before Li Ji and the butler. The moment they opened the scroll, they felt as if a torrent of water from the Yellow River was rushing towards them from afar.
'Ssshh...'
Li Ji let out a hiss of air as he looked at the calligraphy.
As a master of calligraphy himself, he quickly judged that the quality of this calligraphy surpassed his own.
'Huh? Something's not right...'
But soon, he sensed something and frowned slightly.
'What's wrong?' Seeing this, Lin Yun's heart stirred and he asked curiously.
The other party is a master of calligraphy and should be very sensitive to calligraphy. Perhaps, the other party's discovery is the reason why his work is difficult to give birth to spirituality?
'The artistic conception is not right. The quality of these characters is very high, but the artistic conception of these characters is not perfect. The author of these characters of Li Tai-po's Drinking in Advance has not fully experienced that artistic conception...' Li Ji thought for a moment and said.
'Did Mr. Lin write these characters?' Then, Li Ji thought of something and looked up at Lin Yuan with a grave expression.
He never imagined that Lin Yun's realm of calligraphy was so high, that it made him feel inferior. What's more, Lin Yun's calligraphy style allowed him to see some of his own shortcomings, and that was precisely a realm he wanted to achieve.
He had a feeling that if he were allowed to study this pair of characters for a period of time, his realm of calligraphy would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
All in all, this was a great gift.
Just this gift alone was enough to exchange for many of his works, or the pinnacle of his recent works.
However, he couldn't help blushing slightly when he thought about it.
The other person's calligraphy realm was so high, why would they covet his work?
It was ridiculous. He had previously wanted to offer his work to help the other person improve their spiritual power, but that was a bit narcissistic.
So, apart from his work, what else could he offer?
Money?
The other person was the owner of Qingyun Company, whose products and games were famous all over the world. Qingyun Company was so powerful, so how could they lack money?
Thinking about this, Li Ji could not help but feel even more ashamed.
He had lost in the area he was most proud of, calligraphy, and was far inferior in other areas. This defeat convinced him.
'Mood?' Lin Yun mused.
Yes, the reason he wrote Li Bai's "Toast" was mainly because Lin Yuanshan was writing "Toast" at the time. At that time, although he felt very emotional when he saw these characters, he did not really appreciate the mood behind the poem.
'Could it be that the most important thing for a work of art to be born with spirituality is the artistic conception?' Lin Yun looked at Li Ji and asked.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up. It seemed that he had been understanding it all wrong. The paintings he had done on Venus had born first-level spirituality when he had reached the pinnacle of first-level painting, and second-level spirituality when he had reached the pinnacle of second-level painting.
He had therefore thought that if he used the pinnacle of first-level painting, his work would be born with first-level spirituality.
Using the second-level pinnacle of painting, the work can be born with a second-level spirituality.
Perhaps, that is not the case?
Rather, it is because he has a deep understanding of the starry sky, and he has reached the artistic conception of that painting?
'Mr Lin has a high level of understanding, and that is correct. This is the key to whether a work can be born with spirituality. The importance of artistic conception even surpasses that of technique. If the artistic conception is achieved, spirituality can be born very easily. Mr Lin should have seen those abstract paintings from abroad?' Li Ji laughed.
'Abstract paintings from abroad?' Lin Yun asked in surprise.
'Yes, those abstract paintings... I really don't agree with the content of many of them, but some abstract paintings have a very high artistic conception, so they can also be born with spirituality,' Li Ji nodded.
Lin Yun was thoughtful.
No wonder.
He originally couldn't figure this out either. Some abstract paintings are hard to look at, but they can be sold for a sky-high price. Now it seems that those abstract paintings are also spiritual works?
It seems that this is indeed the case?
Some time ago, he obtained some spiritual items from various countries, including some abstract paintings. The spiritual level of one of them even reached the second level.
In that case, artistic conception is really very important.
He studied painting and calligraphy, but only learned the techniques. However, artistic conception still needs to be felt by himself.
It is just like this: he has learned a lot of martial arts, and many martial arts have even been learned to the pinnacle, but he still needs to practice over and over again, slowly feeling and thinking about the truth.
Isn't he also feeling the artistic conception of some martial arts?
Reaching the pinnacle of skill is the way, and the way is something that is beyond description, a state of mind.
At this moment, Lin Yun thought of many things.
'Mr Lin's calligraphy is of a very high level, and I am ashamed to compare myself to him. This pair of characters should have a spiritual quality. Mr Lin has already dabbled in artistic conception, so even if I don't say anything, he will understand sooner or later. Just now, Li Ji's suggestion is hereby abandoned...' After a pause, Li Ji said with a face full of shame.
'Why do you say that, Mr Li? As the saying goes, a thousand volumes of scripture are not as good as one sentence of true transmission. If Mr Li doesn't point this out, I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to understand...' Lin Yun said with a light smile when he saw Li Ji's reaction.
This comment was a bit polite. This time, he planned to visit many people, and even if Li Ji didn't say anything, he would find out from the others.
'This calligraphy has a great impact on me. I feel that my calligraphy will have a breakthrough. This is already a great gift. How could Li Ji ask for anything else?' Li Ji shook his head, and there was even a hint of respect in his tone.
He was inspired by Lin Yun's calligraphy, and to a certain extent, Lin Yun was his teacher. It would be excessive for him to ask for anything else.
He was proud, but had a bottom line.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun nodded slightly in his heart, and was even more certain of his previous thoughts.
'I have a proposal here, Mr. Li might as well listen,' Lin Yun smiled.
'What do you mean?' Li Ji asked curiously.
'The world is already a little different from what it was. Since Mr. Li has played the future storm and cloud, then I'm sure you also vaguely feel this. Mr. Li's calligraphy realm is very high. I intend to recruit Mr. Li. I wonder what you think?' Lin Yun thought about it and said.
'Recruit me?' Li Ji frowned.
The word Lin Yun used made him feel not very good, giving him a feeling of rebellion.
At this moment, he recalled the rumours of conflicts between Qingyun Company and the official government of Daxia, which made him even more certain about this matter.
However, he was born in Daxia, and had lived a peaceful, even wealthy, life, which was a blessing from Daxia, and he did not want to do this.
'I am just a scholar, with neither courage nor wisdom, I just like calligraphy, Mr Lin seems to have mistaken me for someone else,' Li Ji shook his head as he thought this.
'Haha, what level of mastery of calligraphy does Mr Li think is possible?' Lin Yun laughed.
Some strong calligraphers can defend themselves with a single character, attack with a single character, destroy a strong opponent with a single character, and even change the world with a single character. To a certain extent, their power even surpasses martial artists.
He has made it compulsory for all humans on Blue Star to learn martial arts, and he is promoting the game 'Future Storms' worldwide in order to select some talent from it. Now that he has encountered such talent, how could he turn a blind eye to it?
'What level? Are you saying that the spirituality of a work can be sold?' Li Ji frowned.
'Mr Li, you can watch this video,' Lin Yun said, shaking his head.
Hoo——
As he spoke, Lin Yun waved his hand, and a projection immediately appeared next to them.
No matter how much you say, it's better to let the other person see.
In this projection, humans are like the people of the Blue Star, and the background is like the ancient Blue Star. On a barren land, a scholar in a green robe is facing thousands of troops alone.
We see the scholar looking at the fast-approaching army of thousands of soldiers, one hand behind his back, the other holding a brush, his face calm and unruffled.
'Hum——'
Suddenly, the scholar lightly writes a character in the air, which emits a special fluctuation. The character emits a golden light in the air and flies towards the army of thousands of soldiers.
'Hoo——Hoo——Hoo——'
The next moment, a gust of wind suddenly appeared not far from the scholar, quickly blowing towards the thousands of troops on the opposite side. Immediately, the thousands of troops were thrown into disarray, with people falling over and horses rearing.
At that moment, the scholar wrote another character in the air.
'Rumble...'
A thunderclap exploded in the midst of the thousands of troops. The army, which had already been thrown into disarray, immediately suffered heavy losses again. Some severed limbs flew up, and there were wails of grief all around.
Then, the scholar wrote some words in the air again, and with each word he wrote, he caused heavy losses to the opposing side.
In no time, the scholar stopped, the wind stopped, and the objects stopped moving. There was no longer a single person standing on the opposing side, and all the threats had disappeared.
From beginning to end, the scholar kept one hand behind his back, looking carefree and at ease.
Only after all this was done did the scholar put both hands behind his back, turned around, and left, looking very dashing.
When Lin Yun released the projection, Li Ji was only slightly startled, but he didn't care.
Projection technology has long existed, and Qingyun Company's technology is so powerful, so it is normal to have such powerful projection technology.
However, what is Lin Yun showing himself this movie for?
Li Ji was a little puzzled.
To be honest, watching this video, the scene where the scholar used words to repel the enemy with a carefree air, and single-handedly defeated thousands of enemies, he was also filled with excitement.
Every man has a dream of being a hero.
Although he was already in his forties, he still had it.
In particular, the scholar used words to repel the enemy, and he himself practiced calligraphy, which made him feel a sense of resonance.
If he could do the same, how wonderful that would be?
He couldn't help but think so in his heart.
However, this was ultimately a movie.
He didn't think it was real, because it was too exaggerated.
'Mr. Li thinks this is fake?' Lin Yun laughed when he saw Li Ji like this.
