Between master and apprentice, the transmission is not merely about the technique; it encompasses an entire life.
Zhang Yanfei's master was a Sorcerer of the Micro Realm Sect, whose cultivation wasn't very high, remaining a Tier Two Scholar throughout his life. However, he was also a calligrapher, an art appraiser, and a renowned monk.
Zhang Yanfei initially followed his master to learn calligraphy and painting before being taught techniques, and it was even his master who introduced him to his job.
Unlike his senior disciple Ye Hui, Zhang Yanfei wasn't adept at management. Apart from cultivation, he loved art, and the art academy was a fitting place for him.
The event that changed his destiny happened about twelve years ago when Zhang Yanfei was serving as the director of the Nanhua Academy of Fine Arts library. While inventorying the library's collection of rare books and paintings, he discovered a painting.
