Li Shi's trip to Jie Yang this time was very rewarding.
Not only did he gain connections and knowledge in the field of jade, his progress in painting was even more remarkable, especially the three times he sketched portraits, which brought him on the threshold of "imagery expression". His sketching skill, which he was currently learning on the panel, had also been upgraded from (Proficient-) to (Proficient).
Another gain was the fire within him.
When he was painting the bones, although he always possessed a "learning" and "working" mentality, the three models were after all very attractive and charming women. Even if he was impartial, he couldn't help the fire that grew within him from the physical contact.
Li Shi, committed to learning, directly suppressed this fire at the time.
The three women who didn't understand, maybe even teased him in their heart for being an extinguished volcano that could not spout fire.
