The Painting Sage

This is a lighthearted story. The protagonist isn't some spoiled young master who goes around picking fights, but he won't put up with others stepping on his toes, either.

His pride comes from disdain; his nonchalance comes from having nothing to fear. He is powerful without showing off. His restraint in the face of others' misdeeds comes from the depth of his character.

Art is just a pretext, painting is just a profession, and entering the Dao through painting is the ultimate goal... But this book is about his life. Magic is just a tool; life is what he pursues.

So don't think this is a textbook on impressionist magic or a guide to raising a painting sage.

(Painting) Impressionist Mage: The abnormal part is his ability to force contracts. Any creature painted on a scroll becomes the mage's servant (the protagonist only). Use the famous painting Portrait of Zhong Kui with Ten Fingers to summon Zhong Kui, Portrait of the Peacock Wisdom King to summon the Peacock Wisdom King, Portrait of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to summon Li Jing, Portrait of the Great Dharma Protector to summon the Eight Legions of Devas and Nagas, and Portrait of Shakyamuni to summon the Tathagata (SORRY)
