Mural City was roughly equivalent to Red Candle Town in size, but its streets and alleys were rather disorderly, varying haphazardly in width, and most of them were quite crooked. Furthermore, there were very few tall buildings and manors here. 0

In addition to the many small shops in the city, there was also no shortage of streetside stalls, and many of the merchants were verbally advertising their wares, resulting in a noisy and chaotic environment. 0

There were also traveling salesmen squatting by the side of the street with their hands tucked up their opposite sleeves, displaying no interest in whether the passersby on the streets purchased their wares.0

There were many stories about the origins of Mural City, and particularly the murals that depicted the female officials of the Heavenly Court. As for the true origins of the city and its murals, that was a closely guarded secret of the Flax Robe Sect.0

Chen Ping'an walked along for around fifteen minutes at a leisurely pace, following a large group of people that had also come here to see the murals. Before long, he arrived before one of the murals, which was over a hundred feet tall and presented a stunning sight to behold. 0

Standing within the crowd, Chen Ping'an looked up to discover that the mural depicted the side profile of a celestial maiden that seemed to have been in flight with a bunch of divine clouds beneath her feet. 0

There was a portable inkstone strapped to her waist, something that had become rather uncommon in the present day, and the celestial maiden's eyes were as bright and animated as those of a living person's, perhaps due to the light that illuminated the area, or perhaps due to the spiritual energy harbored within the mural.0

The woman in the mural had been named the inkstone-carrying celestial maiden, and the primary color tones of the mural consisted of shades of green, but there were also tasteful embellishments of gold that perfectly complemented the depicted subject. 0

At a rough glance, the mural appeared to have been quite simple and plain, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that every single crease in the celestial maiden's clothes, all of her accessories, the lines of her skin, and even her eyelashes had been etched out in stunning detail.2

The painter responsible for these murals had to have been a truly outstanding artisan.0
