Chapter 109 What a coincidence
Back in the day, when this marrow crystal first came to the world's attention, it was considered merely an ordinary stone, a bit more beautiful in appearance. However, fate always likes to lay its foreshadowing in the unexpected. Until one day, a discerning and sharp-eyed minister, by chance, came across this seemingly ordinary stone, which actually held a profound secret.
When he first laid eyes on the stone, he was instantly frozen in place, as if under a spell. The stone, like a pearl fallen from heaven, radiated a captivating light. Its surface was round and smooth, as if sculpted by millennia of water. Every inch of it shone with a delicate, soft sheen. Its dazzling colors resembled a painting hand-painted by nature, a riot of color and distinct layers that captivated him.
This minister, having spent years in the tainted world of officialdom, had developed a keen eye. He immediately recognized the stone's extraordinary qualities and quickly conjured a beautiful picture in his mind. He knew that presenting this stone to the revered and respected Dragon King, who sat atop his high throne, would undoubtedly become a crucial bargaining chip for his career advancement and win the Dragon King's favor.
On a bright, sunny day, the sky was a brilliant blue like a jewel, with pristine white clouds floating through it like clouds. A gentle breeze caressed the earth, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort. Within this magnificent, resplendent palace, a banquet of unprecedented grandeur was in full swing.
The banquet was a dazzling galaxy, with celebrities from all walks of life in attendance, dressed in their finest attire. There were refined scholars, reciting poetry, painting, and discussing world affairs; there were also valiant military commanders, each of them awe-inspiring and imposing; and there were also high-ranking officials and dignitaries, who exchanged pleasantries and engaged in lively conversation. The entire scene was incredibly lively, with crowds thronging shoulder to shoulder, a spectacle unprecedented in history.
Amidst the clamor, the much-anticipated minister stood out. He was dressed in a gorgeous robe made of fine silk, his sleeves fluttering like a celestial being descending from the heavens. A confident yet humble smile graced his face, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation. His hands carefully held an item wrapped in exquisite satin, embroidered with delicate patterns.
The minister, clad in resplendent court robes, his sleeves fluttering, walked with steady, solemn steps through the bustling crowd. He looked straight ahead, his expression solemn, like a moving statue. With each step, one could almost feel the ground tremble slightly, a steady, powerful rhythm, as if the object he held weighed a thousand pounds.
As the minister gradually approached the old Dragon King, seated at the main seat, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. People consciously made way for him, their eyes following the minister's figure closely. Each step he took was exceptionally cautious, as if he were holding not just a piece of ordinary stone, but the world's most precious, most valuable, and priceless treasure.
Finally, after a long journey, the minister successfully arrived at the old Dragon King's location. He knelt without hesitation, his movements smooth and natural, without a single delay. Then, raising his hands high, he respectfully presented the marrow crystal to the old Dragon King.
At this moment, the once bustling banquet suddenly quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on this mysterious marrow crystal stone. At first, everyone saw only a tightly wrapped stone, its appearance was plain and unremarkable, almost indistinguishable from any ordinary stone found on the roadside.
Just as everyone was secretly speculating, a well-trained attendant stepped forward. He carefully took the marrow crystal from the minister's hand, his movements as gentle as if he were protecting a fragile work of art. Then, the attendant took out an extremely sharp knife and gently ran it along the surface of the stone.
Instantly, a soft yet dazzling golden light erupted from within the stone! Like a rising sun, it instantly dispelled the darkness within the banquet hall, illuminating the entire space as bright as day. Everyone was stunned by this sudden spectacle, their mouths agape, their eyes wide, their faces filled with disbelief. After a brief moment of astonishment, exclamations and cheers echoed throughout the banquet hall.
When the light faded slightly, people came closer to take a closer look and were surprised to find that the inside of the stone was covered with thin and shining lines like gold threads. These lines intertwined to form magnificent patterns.
Although the people present had no idea what this magical stone was used for, just looking at its dazzling appearance was enough to amaze everyone and make them unable to let it go.
For a moment, the sound of praise came one after another like a tide, and it never stopped.
People opened their eyes wide and their mouths wide, deeply shocked by the wonderful sight before them.
They seemed to be in a dreamlike world, completely immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
At this moment, the minister, with awe in his heart, carefully stretched out his hands and gently picked up the extremely precious marrow crystal.
The medullary crystal emits a mysterious and attractive light, which is dazzling.
The minister knew very well that the stone was priceless and did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
This is just a small sample for others to see.
After discovering this strange stone that day, he took a piece of marrow crystal stone of suitable size and brought it to his carving room.
Looking at the beautiful stone on the table
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then, relying on the superb carving skills he had acquired over the years, began to carve carefully with full concentration.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.
In the following days, the minister worked almost without sleep and devoted himself to the creation of this work.
His fingers were like nimble dancers, dancing and moving on the marrow crystal; the carving knife in his hand was like a magical paintbrush, depicting delicate and subtle patterns.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he was unaware of it. He had only one thought in his mind:
We must make this work a unique work of art!
Finally, Kung Fu pays off.
After days and nights of hard work, a magnificent and ingenious work of art, like a shining pearl, emerged and appeared before the world.
