Chapter 200 Transformed into Mortal: Sugar Painter Survives

There is a candy seller's stall at the end of the alley in the east market of Daye City.

This stall is famous in Daye City.

Because the old man who painted candy figures at the stall had to sell a candy figure for ten taels of silver. This led to him painting candy figures for more than a year, but he never sold a single candy figure.

The most puzzling thing is that the old man has never earned a penny, but there is always endless syrup in the iron bucket.

When people pass by the old man's stall, he always concentrates on drawing candy figures in front of the stall.

It seems that the only thing the old man can do is draw candy figures.
...

On the streets of East Market.

Eunuch Hou Shu also followed cautiously behind a man in purple robe.

When passing by the candy stall where Cheng Huo was, the man in purple robe glanced at Cheng Huo.

He turned around and said to the eunuch Hou Shuyi: "That old man, does a candy bar cost ten taels of silver in the city?"

"Yes." Hou Shuyi said in a respectful tone: "I heard that this old man has been selling candy figures in the city for more than a year, but because they were expensive, he never sold even one. "

interesting.
The man in purple robe showed an interested expression when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Sheng from a distance for a long time.

Maybe he felt the purple-robed man's gaze.

He was concentrating on drawing the life of the candy man when he suddenly raised his head and looked at the man in purple robe.

"This man."

The moment their eyes met, the purple-robed man felt a surge of madness, chaos, and various indescribable complex emotions in his heart.

The purple-robed man stumbled back behind him uncontrollably.

At this moment, there were countless complex emotions intertwined in his mind, and these complex emotions completely overwhelmed his consciousness.
Fortunately, the man in purple robe only looked at Chengshuo, so he was only affected by Chengshuo's gaze for a moment.

After a few seconds, the purple-robed man regained his composure, but at the same time he was filled with shock and uncertainty.

Could it be that the old man who drew the candy man is a fairy?
Is he a practitioner?
Thinking like this, the man in purple robe looked towards Chengshuo again.

At this moment, when he looked at the life of the candy man who was concentrating on painting, he suddenly felt that he was just an old man.

That's it.

Even if the man in purple robe deliberately looked into Chengshuo's eyes, all he could see was the strong will of death that was full of turbidity and twilight energy.

So this old man is not a practitioner, but just an ordinary person who is about to die?

With a trace of curiosity, the man in purple robe took the initiative to approach the survival stall.

At the candy man stall.

Hearing the footsteps of the purple-robed man, Cheng Cheng was still concentrating on drawing the candy man.

He spoke in a lazy tone without raising his head: "All candy figures are worth ten taels of silver each. If you don't buy them, don't touch them casually."

"You" saw Chengshuo's attitude. Before the purple-robed man could speak, the eunuch Hou Shu who was standing aside immediately became angry and wanted to open his mouth to hold him accountable.

But as soon as the eunuch Hou Shuyi said the word 'you', the man in purple robe reached out to stop him.

The purple-robed man glanced at Hou Shuyi, and then gently shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.

The latter understood its meaning and silently retreated behind the purple-robed man.

But the man in purple robe rushed to Chenghuo with great interest and said: "Old man, most of the other candy sellers in this city only sell one piece for one yuan. Even those who put more syrup in it will only go up to two yuan. So why is your candy man worth ten taels of silver each? Is there any difference between a candy man and others?"

At this moment, Chengshuo was drawing sugar monkeys with syrup on the stall.

He likes to draw sugar monkeys.

Almost half of the candy people at his stall are candy monkeys.

Hearing the man in purple robe ask, Chengshuo raised his head and said with a meaningful smile: "No one in Daye City can draw these sugar figures except the old man."

The man in purple robe was stunned when he heard this: "So your candy man is unique?"

"That's natural!" Chengshuo responded.

The man in purple robe said: "What exactly makes you unique? I don't think you, a candy man, have anything special about you."

Everyone in Daye City knew about Chengsheng's stall, which was worth ten taels of silver a piece.

In addition, the man in purple robe standing in front of the stall was dressed luxuriously, and he was always followed by an attendant.

So within a short time, countless passers-by were attracted around the survival stall, and the place was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Seeing the man in purple robe questioning Cheng Sheng, passers-by also showed interested expressions, waiting for Cheng Sheng's next words.

For a time, nearly a hundred people gathered in front of the survival stall, but they were all surprisingly quiet.

"Ah,"

Chengshuo, who was surrounded by everyone, was still concentrating on drawing the candy monkey in his hand.

The syrup that people use for painting is actually very easy to dry.

This resulted in people who painted sugar paintings having to use iron buckets to hold the syrup, and put it on the stall and heat it over a warm fire from time to time to ensure that the syrup would not solidify.

After the syrup is poured out, the sugar blower must work hard to quickly complete the sugar painting while it is still hot.

Otherwise, if the syrup solidifies and the sugar painting is not completed, then the sugar painting will be ruined.
Therefore, the sugar blower pays attention to the word "quick" when painting.

Let’s look back at survival.

After he scooped out the syrup from the iron bucket, he was not in a hurry at all.

When the syrup falls on the bamboo slices, he will carve every stroke and stroke carefully and think hard. It seems as if he is completing a masterpiece, rather than a sugar painting for eating.

Called other candy blowers, this way the time for painting is definitely not enough.

Because the syrup will solidify.

But what puzzled the onlookers was that despite Cheng Sheng being so stained, the syrup in his hand would not solidify at all.

Seeing this scene, the man in purple robe understood clearly:

Whether this old sugar painting man is a cultivator or not is not a question for now, but at least, the syrup he uses when painting sugar paintings is definitely not ordinary!
After realizing that survival was not easy, the man in purple robe also winked at the eunuch Hou Shu who was following him.

The latter understood what he meant and hurriedly took out ten taels of silver from his sleeves and placed them on the living stall.

This scene caused the onlookers and passers-by to exclaim on the spot: "Incredible! There are actually people who are willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy candy figures!"

Some people said with a hint of sourness: "This old man selling a candy bar can almost equal my income in the past two or three years."

among the crowd.

The purple-robed man ignored the exclamations of the passers-by and picked a candy monkey from the survival stall and held it in his hand.He looked at Sugar Monkey with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It has to be said that the workmanship of this candy monkey is indeed exquisite, even so exquisite that the man in purple robe is reluctant to eat it.

Even the various masterpieces collected by the purple-robed man would pale in comparison to this sugar monkey.

Every stroke of this sugar monkey contains an indescribable charm.
Next to the man in purple robe.

Eunuch Hou Shu also saw his master staring at the candy man without saying anything, as if he was possessed, so he hurriedly asked: "My lord, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The man in purple robe looked back at him and said, "Shu Yi, don't you think the candy man in my hand has an indescribable artistic conception?"

The eunuch Hou Shu also stared at the candy man carefully for a long time, and then said: "Sir, please forgive me for my poor eyesight, I really can't see the difference."

"Look at this candy man. Except that the workmanship is relatively more exquisite, it seems to be not much different from the candy men made by other people in the city."

Can't you see the trick?

Hou Shuyi's words stunned the man in purple robe. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at the other candy people in the Chengshuo stall.

At this glance, the purple-robed man saw some clues:
Except for the candy monkey in his hand, which has a hint of charm, the other candy monkeys at the survival stall seem to be very "ordinary".

Hard to do.
While the man in the purple robe was thinking, he suddenly heard Cheng Sheng reminding him with a smile from the side: "The candy figures I draw are only sold to people who are destined to be destined, and only those who are destined to see the difference in the candy figures I drew can see the difference."

"Your Majesty has a fate with the candy monkey on your hand, so you can naturally tell the difference of that candy monkey at a glance. But the other sugar monkeys in my stall do not belong to you, so you can't see any clues. "

Amazing, so amazing!

The man in purple robe looked at the candy monkey in his hand, and then looked at Cheng Sheng, who was still concentrating on drawing the candy monkey.

At this moment, the man in purple robe, the more he looks at it, the more he feels that the life of painting the sugar figures is not simple. This kind of unsimpleness is not only reflected in the sugar figures painted by Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng's every move, every movement and every detail he makes when painting the sugar figures seems to contain the truth.

Thinking of this, the man in purple robe had already made a calculation in his mind: This candy man must contain a big secret. If you want to eat it, you can't eat it. If you want to find out the secret, you still have to take it back to the palace and study it carefully.
At the Tang Huaer stall.

There is no sign of success either.

He just lowered his head like that, concentrating on drawing the candy man, and easily saw through what the man in purple robe was thinking.

Chengshuo kept moving his hands, but he said meaningfully: "The candy figures I drew are just for people to eat. If the guests buy the candy figures and don't eat them, then they will lose their meaning." It deserves its due value.”

As he said this, Chengshuo suddenly raised his head and stared at the man in purple robe: "Sir, do you think this is true?"

"Indeed!" After hearing what Chengshuo said, the man in purple robe put the candy monkey in his hand into his mouth to taste, intending to find out what was going on.

Seeing the action of the man in purple robe, the eunuch Hou Shu said anxiously: "Sir, be careful of that sugar monkey."

Hou Shuyi was worried that Tang Monkey had been poisoned.

But he was only halfway through his words when he saw the man in purple robe waving his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything.

In desperation, Hou Shu had no choice but to shut up and watched the man in purple robe put the candy monkey into his mouth.
"This sugar monkey."

The moment Sugar Monkey entered his mouth, a sweet feeling surged into the heart of the purple-robed man at first.

After the sweetness melts in the mouth, it is followed by various complex emotions such as madness, chaos, fear, pain, piety, desire, etc.

Every emotion in this seems to contain a great way.

The man in purple robe who ate the candy monkey seemed to have experienced thousands of other people's lives from a third perspective.

The mystery in it made the man in purple robe unconsciously immersed in it.

He was eating the candy monkey with an expression of enjoyment on his face, as if he was tasting something unearthly, and the expression on his face was exaggerated to the extreme.

When the passers-by onlookers saw it, they couldn't help but have a doubt in their hearts: Are the candy monkeys in the hands of the man in purple robe really as delicious as he showed?
If it weren't for the price of ten taels of silver a piece, I would really want to try it.
Of course, there were also some doubters among the passers-by - they felt that the man in purple robe with an extremely exaggerated expression was a special agent invited by Chengshuo.

However, those who had doubts were quickly dispelled by the scene that happened next.

Under the watchful eyes of passers-by, the purple-robed man who had eaten the candy monkey inexplicably rose into the air from where he was.

After floating to a height of one meter above the ground, the purple-robed man spread his hands and said as if muttering to himself: "I understand!"

Seeing his master suspended in the air, eunuch Hou Shu also panicked and said, "Sir, are you okay? What have you realized?"

The man in purple robe looked confused: "I don't know. I just feel that after eating Candy Man, my body becomes lighter and my whole body is full of energy."

"I feel like I can do anything."

The moment the man in purple robe said these words, his aura began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a mortal to the early stages of Qi training.

Then to the middle stage of Qi training
It didn't stop until it finally climbed to the Great Perfection of the Qi training period.

——The man in purple robe actually relied on the various 'emotional powers' mixed in the candy figures when he was painting the candy figures, and forcibly upgraded his strength from a mortal to a great perfection in the Qi training stage.

Including the eunuch Hou Shu, the onlookers and passersby all involuntarily stepped back after feeling the aura emanating from the strong man in purple robe.

of course.

These passers-by could not see the change in the purple-robed man's cultivation.

They only felt the aura of the purple-robed man, which was completely different from before.
Under the gaze of everyone, the man in purple robe landed from the air.

The moment he landed, he decisively rushed to the old man, who was still concentrating on drawing the candy monkey, to perform the apprenticeship ceremony and said: "Disciple, thank you for your kindness, senior."

"Ah,"

At the sugar painting stall.

Chengshuo calmly accepted the gift from the purple-robed man and said with a chuckle: "If you can understand the Tao, that's your own fault. You don't need to thank me."

The man in purple robe bowed again, then separated from the crowd and left in a hurry, as if he was eager to realize the rewards brought by this opportunity.

Among the passers-by, there was a wealthy businessman who witnessed the whole process of the man in purple robe buying candy. Unable to control his excitement, he immediately handed over ten taels of silver to the living stall.

"Old senior, here's a candy monkey!" The wealthy businessman rushed to Chenghuo and gave him a fist-cup salute, and then he couldn't wait to take a candy monkey from Chenghuo's stall.

He imitated the way the man in purple robe eats the candy monkey, put the candy monkey into his mouth and savored it carefully.

lean less.

There was a trace of impatience on the wealthy businessman's face. He ate the candy monkey at a significantly faster speed, from savoring it carefully to chewing it in big gulps.

Not long after, the wealthy businessman's sugar-eating speed changed from chewing to gulping down the sugar.

After he finished eating the candy monkey, he glared at Chengshuo.

After confirming that Cheng Sheng was truly an ordinary person and that the candy man on the stall was nothing special, he realized: "Old man, you are obviously an ordinary candy man, not worth ten taels at all." Money! The man in purple clothes just now is probably the shill you specially hired to help you defraud money!"

As the wealthy businessman spoke, he took advantage of his height and fatness to grab Cheng Huo's chest.
