Some can capture the essence of landscape painting, yet fail to bring to life an animal’s spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people specialize in one genre and can become masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others bite off more than they can chew, achieving nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao pushed two tables together, ensuring a flat surface by placing a drawing board on top, and took out a larger piece of drawing paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a brush and began to paint. He planned to paint a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing watched from the side, and after roughly half an hour, Qin Hao finished his painting—a five-clawed dragon soaring through the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scales of the dragon displayed a strong sense of layering, especially the finishing stroke of the eyes, which gave the dragon a sense of coming alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing looked at him in slight disbelief, “You can even paint animals this well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised her most was Qin Hao’s speed of painting. Such a dragon would take at least several hours for others to paint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he took just over half an hour and still outperformed other masters who painted animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao said with a smile, “The dragon is a symbol of good fortune, the totem of Xuan Country. Surely someone will want it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing replied, “As long as it’s well-painted, even a turtle will find buyers. Can you paint folk life paintings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao asked, “What kind of landscape paintings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing explained, “Like Phoenix Ancient Town, the tourist spots you’ve visited, similar to the Qingming River Painting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao said, “I’ve been to Jiangli Ancient Town in Shuinan Province. I could try to paint it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing spoke up, “That would be great. If you can paint something at the level of the Qingming River Painting, it will definitely be valuable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao was well aware of the Qingming River Painting, one of the ten renowned heirloom paintings of Xuan Country, a national treasure housed in the Ancient Palace Museum, priceless and unattainable for any sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea suddenly flashed through Qin Hao’s mind, “How about using our school as practice today first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing nodded slightly, “I’ll get you some brushes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was ready, Qin Hao held her hand and slowly began to paint; starting with the main gate of Jianghai University Main Campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the long road, trees and grass lush on both sides, flowers blooming extravagantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Hao painted, recollecting his walks through Jianghai University, he said, “What if I paint an oil painting and auction it off abroad, how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your skills in oil painting are that impressive too?” Fan Ruobing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao affirmed, “Hmm, didn’t you say oil paintings are quite valuable abroad? Paint lots, and go make some money off the foreigners.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing remarked, “I’m beginning to see you’re quite mischievous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao gave an awkward smile, unsure which aspect she was referring to in her comment—making money off foreigners or something else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing suggested, “If you’re feeling uncomfortable, go solve it in the small studio over there.” With that, she headed towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao paused for a second, hesitated for a few more, but then followed her in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returned, her face showed no particular reaction. She said to Qin Hao, “Continue painting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao painted for almost an hour before finishing, and a vividly lifelike folk-life painting came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teaching buildings, laboratories, offices, dormitories, sports fields, as well as students walking along the roads, each with distinctive postures and expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qin Hao’s phone suddenly rang—it was a call from Feng Xiangyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xiangyi: “Mr. Qin, the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce just sent an invitation. There’s a banquet tonight at eight at the Innsil Hotel, and they’ve invited you to attend.”\u003C\u002Fp>",673,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","1eee54431d8631faabed6d80ad5b7205182d3aab6cbe535d51e3e4c2507b7748","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-288","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-287",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
