How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 14: What did he choose?

"Xu Yangzi," Master Xuanqing gestured, "take Chen Qi to the library."

Xu Yangzi nodded slightly and gestured to Chen Qi, "Come with me."

Chen Qi stood up from the ground and followed Xu Yangzi out of the room, while his junior sister also quickly got up from the ground and followed him out.

Seeing this, Master Xuanqing let out a long sigh.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Nianxu snapped out of her daze and asked respectfully, "What's wrong?"

"It may be a little embarrassing to say, but I still have a favor to ask."

An unreasonable request?

Isn't that just an opportunity for Master Xuanqing to owe me a favor?

Shen Nianxu automatically translated the sentence, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, "Please tell me, as long as it's within my power, I will do my best."

With a sigh, Master Xuanqing began to make his request.

After leaving the room, Chen Qi was led by Xu Yangzi to the so-called library.

"This is the library?" Chen Qi stared at the thatched-roof-like building and questioned, "Why does it look more like a Taoist or Buddhist library? Libraries are usually very grand and imposing buildings."

The junior sister, hands on her hips, replied arrogantly, "That's called being low-key! Don't you understand?"

Xu Yangzi closed his eyes. "Those are illegal buildings. Do you think the Qingcheng authorities would allow us to build such illegal structures on Mount Qingcheng?"

Chen Qi: "Holy crap, what you said makes so much sense."

He reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the thatched hut, and Xu Yangzi led him inside.

As soon as Chen Qi stepped inside, he immediately realized that the inside of this thatched hut was a completely different world!

The thatched hut has very complete infrastructure. The ceiling and floor tiles look very modern, making it look like a real library, unlike the thatched hut outside.

"This is the Cave Heaven Technique that our Taoism is so proud of," Xu Yangzi said with a proud expression. "Only we know this technique; others have no chance to learn it even if they want to."

Chen Qi said "Oh," and then silently learned the trick as well.

I just called out "Mom," so it's only right that I secretly learn one or two martial arts techniques and leave.

Entering the library, Xu Yangzi went to a bookshelf, took out a book, and handed it to Chen Qi. "This is the picture book that Miss Shen mentioned. Take a look here and find a picture that you think is most suitable for you to build the foundation of your star chart."

As Chen Qi took the book, he asked, "How can I determine which illustrations are most suitable for me?"

"There's no absolute answer to this," Xu Yangzi pulled over three chairs and a desk and placed them in front of Chen Qi. "It's like not knowing what kind of job to look for after graduation. Only after you gradually try and spend time studying can you come to a fairly accurate conclusion."

Chen Qi: "...I just graduated, why are you giving me such a realistic example?"

Xu Yangzi shrugged and sat down, "Because this example is the easiest to understand."

"If you feel you have good talent and a high level of control over spiritual energy, you can choose more complex paintings; if you feel your talent is average, choose simple paintings, but I still have to remind you of something."

Xu Yangzi said solemnly, "In the path of cultivation, having confidence is a good thing, but if you are overly ambitious, it will have the opposite effect. Only what is most suitable for you is the best. Don't think about reaching the sky in one step."

You've said that too late. Before entering the mountain gate, some people were still wondering why they couldn't become fifth-level cultivators all at once.

Chen Qi responded, sat down at his desk, and opened the picture book in front of him.

The junior sister also pulled over a chair and sat down next to Chen Qi. It was clear that this was also the first time she had seen the picture book.

After a quick look at the contents, Chen Qi felt that there was no problem in naming this album "A Complete Collection of Paintings from Ancient and Modern Times, China and Abroad".

The catalog covers a wide range of painting categories.

Abstract art, Impressionism, Fauvism...

Ink painting, oil painting, watercolor painting...

It has everything!

"That's not easy to choose... Are there any paintings that you can immediately tell are amazing?"

Chen Qi muttered to himself, after all, he was now the owner and operator of the bookstore, and if the bookstore closed down, he would lose his job.

In order to keep his job, he must successfully run for the position of leader.

In that case, I must be able to intimidate people.

Therefore, the more impressive a painting looks at first glance, the more suitable it is for oneself.

Chen Qi didn't care about the difficulty anymore. He was strong enough to make bricks fly, so as long as there were enough stars, he could just lay them all out at once. As long as it looked impressive, that was fine.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi's vision was suddenly drawn to a painting that perfectly matched his ideas.

"Hiss... this one?"

Chen Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he fell silent for a moment.

The junior sister sitting next to him looked at Chen Qi with a suspicious gaze, because she also noticed that Chen Qi had stopped in front of a very strange painting.

He wouldn't choose this thing to build his own star map, would he?

The junior sister found it incredible.

Did he completely ignore what his second senior brother was saying? By choosing this painting, does he intend to never become a second-tier cultivator in his lifetime?

Chen Qi flipped through a few more pages, and after finding no painting more suitable than this one, he closed the album.

"I've made my choice."

Xu Yangzi paused, "You've already made your choice? So quickly? Don't you need to think about it some more?"

"No need, it's pointless to look at it anymore. I've memorized every single picture in it," Chen Qi handed the album back to Xu Yangzi. "How do I construct a star map?"

Xu Yangzi took the album, put it back on the bookshelf, and then replied, "It's very simple. Just write down the paintings you just chose, then guide your spiritual energy to create a painting of the appropriate size within your body, and then use the stars as your paintbrush to paint and embellish them."

"Understood."

Chen Qi nodded, closed his eyes, and began to channel spiritual energy into his body according to the method Xu Yangzi had instructed.

At this moment, the junior sister jumped off the chair, came to Xu Yangzi, and whispered, "Second senior brother, I saw the painting he chose just now."

"He's chosen, so be it," Xu Yangzi said, not taking it to heart. "Whatever painting he chooses is none of my business."

The junior sister bit her lower lip lightly, "But, I think you really need to know which painting he chose."

Hearing his junior sister say this, Xu Yangzi became somewhat interested. "Oh? Which painting did he choose? What made you think that way?"

"He...he chose it..."

The junior sister hesitated for a moment, even feeling a little strange herself.

"He chose 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'..."

Xu Yangzi: "?"
