The drawbacks of the painting technique are twofold: first, the difficulty in crafting it is equally high; second, it is a one-time consumable spell, with each use depleting a painted piece.
He Kao asked with some confusion, "The Skin Painting Technique, did Mr. Pu, who wrote 'Liao Zhai', happen to witness this technique, which led him to write it into his story?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed heartily, "You've got it the wrong way around. It was that ancestor who read the skin painting story in 'Liao Zhai' and was inspired to refine the Puppet Body Technique, thus creating the Skin Painting Technique."
He Kao: "I see you often sketch on the streets and enjoy painting. Do you also plan to dual cultivate the Skin Painting Technique?"
Li Xiuyuan surprisingly did not deny it but nodded, "Of course, I want to study it. One must have hobbies. In my youth, I was fond of alchemy; now, I am fond of the arts."
He Kao: "Such a fascinating technique, why have I never seen it in person?"
