Lin Huawan was admitted to Danqing Pavilion due to her natural painting heart, but the art of painting was regarded as the lowest stream. With an ordinary brush, she painted mountains, and the mountains collapsed; she painted water, and the water surged. The elder bestowed upon her the ancient Qiankun Brush, but she could not paint anything—because the Qiankun Brush requires the heart as ink. She met the sword cultivation disciple Moyuan, and the two went from mutual disapproval to cherishing each other. She rescued the orphan Xiao Shitou, and found that he could see through the essence of all things. During the sect grand competition, Lin Huawan defeated her opponent with a "Rivers and Mountains State Map", proving that the art of painting can fight. When the demonic path attacked, she painted a fire wall to block the enemy, and painted flying birds to transmit messages. The art of painting has been valued ever since.
