Divine Level Witch Doctor
Chapter 270 - 270: The Entire Audience Is ShockedAt that moment, everyone was left stunned and speechless by the four words Zhao Yuan had written.
Whether they understood calligraphy or not, everyone could feel the exquisite charm of those four words! They could feel the breathtaking aura they radiated!
The four words flowed like moving clouds and running water, representing the pinnacle of calligraphic beauty. It was as if they had absorbed the very Qi of heaven and earth, endowing them with a spirit, a soul of their own!
More than one person felt that Zhao Yuan's calligraphy was not some inanimate object, but a living work of art!
Among the crowd, Lin Liangzhe had the deepest knowledge of calligraphy, and at this moment, his admiration for this piece was the most profound.
He walked to the desk and gazed at the four words—Vigorous in old age—and said in a trembling voice, "Refined but not flashy, simple but not coarse, neither harsh nor aggressive—gentle and graceful! This is the highest realm of calligraphy! It is the supreme realm beyond that of a Grandmaster!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd didn't erupt in disbelief. Instead, they all nodded in unison.
They didn't understand calligraphy and usually couldn't appreciate the works of famous masters. But now, looking at the four words Zhao Yuan had written, they could all sense the beauty and charm within!
This was because the work was not just calligraphy; it also contained Wu Peng's insights into the Celestial Dao and the natural world!
How could ordinary calligraphy ever compare?
Lin Liangzhe leaned over the desk, minutely examining the four words from beginning to end, over and over again. Every stroke, every line, left him with a lingering aftertaste in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes had passed.
Lin Liangzhe finally tore his gaze away from the four words. He grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you! Xiaozhao, thank you for this masterpiece! This is the greatest piece of calligraphy I have ever seen in my life! With this, I can die without any regrets!"
Lin Xue was not pleased and grumbled, "Grandpa, don't say such things. You're as fit as a fiddle! You'll definitely live to be a hundred!"
Lin Liangzhe nodded and chuckled. "Yes, yes, yes, my mistake, my mistake. From now on, I'll be just like the words Xiaozhao wrote for me—vigorous in old age, getting better and better!"
Just then, people seemed to see a faint light bloom from the calligraphy, vanishing in a flash.
Everyone dismissed it as a trick of the eye and thought nothing of it.
But Lin Liangzhe clearly felt a surge of energy flowing into his body!
The vitality of life!
The energy to be vigorous in old age!
Lin Liangzhe stared at the calligraphy on the desk in shock, speculating to himself, 'What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so full of life, as if I've become years younger in an instant? Could it be the effect of these four words? This is too incredible, isn't it? Ah, I remember now. I once read in some old books that the works of true calligraphy masters contain the power of heaven and earth, which can't help but affect those who view them. Could that be what's happening to me right now?'
Overcome with shock, Lin Liangzhe grabbed Zhao Yuan's hand again and said in an almost pleading tone, "Xiaozhao, you must come visit us often from now on! If you don't, I'll come find you at your school!"
He had no other hobbies in his life besides calligraphy. Zhao Yuan's display of skill today surpassed that of a Grandmaster, so how could his heart not leap at the sight of a true master? If not for the fact that Zhao Yuan seemed to have a thing for his granddaughter, he probably would have shamelessly asked to become Zhao Yuan's student!
Seeing this, Ye Feng nearly ground his teeth to dust.
He had wanted to see Zhao Yuan make a fool of himself, but instead, he had just let him show off again.
'How can this kid be so damn good at calligraphy on top of his medical skills? Fucking hell, is he even going to let the rest of us live?'
Although Ye Feng didn't want to admit it, Zhao Yuan's four words were indeed countless times better than Lan Wenbin's calligraphy!
Setting aside everything else, Lin Liangzhe's reaction said it all. Before, when he had presented Lan Wenbin's work, the old man hadn't even bothered to glance at it. But now? He was clinging to Zhao Yuan's hand for dear life, wearing a fawning smile that was frankly disgusting!
'You're supposed to be an elder, for crying out loud! Can't you act like one with a bit of dignity?!'
Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng comforted himself, 'It doesn't matter how well he writes. If he can't produce a hundred sets of Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pills, and Vitality Pills later, he'll still end up humiliated!'
Just as he was thinking this, the landline in the living room rang.
Lin Liqiang answered it, exchanged a few words, then returned to the study and said to Zhao Yuan, "Your friend is here."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "That must be the hundred sets of Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pills, and Vitality Pills I had sent over. Wait here, I'll go bring them in."
Everyone froze, expressions of astonishment simultaneously appearing on their faces.
'Could this kid have really managed to get a hundred sets of Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pills, and Vitality Pills?'
Though it seemed unbelievable, people couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation… except for Ye Feng and his group, of course.
Zhao Yuan walked out of the villa. After whispering amongst themselves for a moment, the others followed him outside. They all wanted to see if Zhao Yuan, who had already created several miracles today, could make another one happen.
After waiting at the villa entrance for a few minutes, they saw a black Audi sedan drive up.
The car had just stopped when Fang Yi pushed the door open and got out. He was about to greet Zhao Yuan when he heard a wave of gasps.
"It's Fang Yi!"
"That's right, it's Boss Fang! I was lucky enough to see him once when I went to Hundred Herbs Hall to get a queue number!"
"Why is Boss Fang here? Could it be that Xiaozhao wasn't bragging after all?"
As the Soul-Stabilizing Incense, Beauty Pills, and Vitality Pills became wildly popular, Fang Yi, their sole distributor, became a household name in Rongcheng City, sought after and flattered by many.
His identity and status rose with his success, making him a genuine high-society celebrity. Countless people considered it an honor just to know him!
And so, seeing Fang Yi get out of the car, many people immediately swarmed him, trying their best to curry favor.
Father Ye and Mrs. Ye were among them. Ye Feng wanted to go too, but he knew his status was too low and didn't dare to push his way forward.
This scene made Fang Yi feel very awkward. 'The real boss is standing right there, and you're ignoring him to suck up to a mere employee like me? What's the meaning of this?'
Zhao Yuan was amused. He smiled and said, "Did you bring the stuff? Hurry up and get it out!"
His commanding tone made the people fawning over Fang Yi frown.
Father Ye and Mrs. Ye went so far as to scold him, "Xiaozhao, what's with your tone? This is Boss Fang! You need to be more respectful, you know!"
Undoubtedly, they were trying to use this as an opportunity to flatter Fang Yi.
But they never would have imagined that after hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Fang Yi wasn't the least bit angry. On the contrary, he scurried over to open the trunk, lifted out three boxes, and then said, "You people are hilarious. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone demand that a boss be respectful to his employee."
At these words, the entire crowd was stunned.
