C23 Now We Have It
Even in his previous life, the Chromatic Lotus was a sacred object that could only be chanced upon by luck.
Legend has it that there was a lotus flower that nurtured one's divine sense. A flower bloomed once every thousand years. The color of each flower was different, and it began to mature after three thousand years.
In other words, when it grew into a three-colored lotus flower, it could be plucked.
If one placed it into one's sea of consciousness, it could strengthen one's divine sense. Moreover, it would take the initiative and grow stronger day by day. As the owner's consciousness grew stronger and stronger, it could also be transmitted back to the three-colored lotus flower.
After that, there were five colors, seven colors, and nine colors.
These three types of lotus flowers each had different uses. They were all extremely heaven defying existences.
Even though it couldn't strengthen the body, and it was even more impossible to raise one's strength within a short period of time, it could make one's sea of consciousness become infinitely stronger, becoming existences that could crush others of the same level.
The most important thing was that this five-colored lotus was the only one in this world. In other words, this lotus in front of Hee Chen was an unparalleled treasure.
The trace of spirit energy that had drifted out earlier was from this lotus. No wonder he felt so comfortable after smelling it.
Hee Chen suddenly hesitated. Should he pluck the five-colored lotus or not?
Without a doubt, Hee Chen needed it more now. With it to nourish his sea of consciousness, his cultivation speed in the future would definitely be incomparable.
However, the bad thing was that his cultivation base was still very low. If others found out that he had such a treasure, it would bring about a fatal disaster.
Hee Chen knew that a man who was innocent would be punished for having a treasure.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hee Chen gave up the impulse to take off the five-colored lotus. Currently, he was still slowly accumulating his strength. Moreover, he had yet to find a place with sufficient spirit energy for the time being.
He could only wait until he was truly strong in the future before coming back to pluck it. Moreover, the five-colored lotus was a sacred item that grew here. It was a good thing for the Murong family, but it would not be so good in the long term.
Just like the Dragon Breath Jade of the Lau family, it was originally a very auspicious item, but it was secretly ruined by someone and almost broke the Feng Shui of the entire family.
The location of this five-colored lotus wasn't very ideal either. Combined with the recent situation of the Murong family, Hee Chen felt that he needed to investigate this aspect.
When he reached the Purple Blood Stage realm, he would immediately pick the five-colored lotus.
The current him wasn't good enough.
After making his decision, Hee Chen didn't have any more lingering feelings. He just swam out of the pond.
In order to prevent his tracks from being exposed, Hee Chen secretly went to the pharmacy to brew all the medicine. Then, he quietly left while everyone was sleeping.
When Hee Chen returned to the dormitory covered in water, Wang Zhiming and Du Jiang were still excitedly discussing the matter of repairing Xiao Qi last night.
"Mr Chen, where did you go? Were you cooked?"
"Yeah, Mr Chen. Why weren't you in the dorm last night? " Where did you go? "
The two of them immediately asked.
Hee Chen could not tell them about the illness of Master Murong. He found an excuse and said, "Murong Yanrong is looking for me. How did you do last night?"
"Should we ask you that? How did it go last night? Was it male, female, or male, or female?" Du Jiang asked lewdly.
Hee Chen knew it would attract their imagination. He was too lazy to explain. "I'm going to see a doctor. Don't think too dirty."
"It's not that we're dirty. It's just that we're alone and alone. It's a long night. Murong Yanrong is such a goddess-level girl. Any man would not be able to resist her, right? Mr Chen, don't say that you are Liu Xiagui." Wang Zhiming said with a smirk. Clearly, he did not believe Hee Chen's words.
Hee Chen did not bother to explain. He was not afraid of the shadow. "Alright, I said it was fine, so it was fine. How did you deal with Xiao Qi?"
Du Jiang said helplessly, "He is also a poor child. His family is not good. What can we do? We just warned him to be careful and let him go, "Du Jiang said.
Hee Chen's eyes lit up when he heard how the two of them handled the situation. He thought it was okay. At least the two of them still had a bottom line.
In Hee Chen's opinion, this kind of thing was not considered a betrayal. Many things in the student era were ruthless and pure. When the two of them thought about it in the future, they could not help but smile.
However, at that time, he was a little impulsive. His favorite disciple actually betrayed him deeply in the end, causing him and the beautiful master to lose their lives.
This was the reason why Hee Chen was so impulsive when he heard the word 'traitor'.
"Alright, I didn't sleep well last night. I need to get some sleep. Remember to apply for leave during class." Hee Chen didn't want to wake up as he lay on the bed.
Du Jiang and Wang Zhiming were also lying on their own beds. "Today is the weekend. I am not going to class..."
"Some people came back from the goddess's place, and even forgot today is the next day, haha..."
Seeing the two of them being so heartless, Hee Chen suddenly sighed with emotion. In fact, this life was not bad.
The next day, Lau Qiaoyu called. He told Hee Chen that the matter of the Lee family had been resolved, so he did not need to worry.
As for how it was resolved, Hee Chen didn't need to ask. He only needed to know that the Lau family had truly helped him. Once his strength had reached its peak, he would definitely get rid of the mental illness of his family.
After two days of peace and quiet, Murong Yanrong received news from Murong Yanrong that Master Murong had woken up safely. However, due to his extremely weak body, he needed to rest for a period of time. Murong Yanrong also took leave to take care of her father. She would come back to thank Hee Chen in a few days.
That afternoon, when Hee Chen was about to go out to look for the boss's wife, he was blocked by a few people dressed like rich people at the school gate.
"Excuse me, are you Hee Chen, Master Hee?" A slightly plump rich man at the front asked with a smile, without any murderous intent.
Hee Chen could tell that these people had something to ask of him, not to look for trouble. He asked in confusion. "I am Hee Chen. You guys are?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the sculptor of the Heavenly Mirror. You can call me Lightning." The chubby Lightning hurriedly said, "I heard from Master Huang that you have a piece of top-grade jade in your hand. It has not been carved yet. I wonder if you are interested in turning it into a work of art."
Hee Chen was surprised. It seemed like he was here for his jade. He looked at the others and asked, "Are you all sculptors?"
"Yes, yes. I am Mu Fan from the Yunyou Pavilion..."
"I am Bai Yun from the Golden Temple of the Old Temple..."
Everyone immediately introduced themselves.
In the world of sculpting, one's skills were not enough to become a legend. The most important thing was whether there was a good piece of material.
Many master sculptors spent the rest of their lives not sculpting, but searching for rare materials.
No matter how exquisite a piece of rotten wood was, it was still a waste. But if it was a top-grade jade, it would be a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation.
Which sculptor didn't want a masterpiece to be passed down from generation to generation?
"Master Hee Chen, this price is negotiable. As long as you carve the jade for me, not only will you not charge me, I will also make an exhibition for our works. What do you think?" Lightning immediately said.
The others also agreed, expressing that they could offer better conditions than this.
Slowly, in order to fight for the top quality jade in Hee Chen's hands, these few people actually started arguing. Each of them had a red face and thick necks, without the slightest bit of awareness of a master.
This was not the end. Just as these people were quarreling with each other, another group of people ran over from afar. Basically, they were all old people.
Hee Chen could tell from their hands that these were all master sculptors. Were they all here for him?
The people who came later also surrounded Hee Chen. Their purpose and request were very simple. They wanted to sculpt the jade in Hee Chen's hands.
Among them was a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Master Hee Chen, we attended a banquet with Master Huang last night. Master Huang was very respectful to you at the banquet. I have a good personal relationship with Master Huang. I wonder if you can show me your love?" Another sculptor started to introduce himself.
When Hee Chen heard this, he realized that Master Huang had accidentally leaked the news. He didn't blame Master Huang.
In fact, Master Huang was doing this for him. What was the most important thing in the jewelry industry?
One was fame, and the other was work. Only the most perfect work could highlight this person's strength. Otherwise, Master Huang wouldn't have been called for nothing.
But it was very difficult to find the best raw materials. To a sculptor, these were the fundamentals.
"Stop, stop, stop..." Hee Chen suddenly said in a clear voice, "Let me say a few words. You guys have been arguing about who would sculpt the jade in my hand. Did Master Huang tell you? " I am also a sculptor. "
"Hmm?" Everyone revealed doubtful looks. Some even looked at him with disdain.
Carving all the way here required a great amount of perseverance and time. Every one of them had to go through a long period of practice before they could slowly grow to where they were now.
Sometimes, for the sake of a piece of work, they would even forget to sleep and eat. They would lock themselves in their room for three months. Half a year was a common occurrence.
However, Hee Chen was only a third-year high school student. Even if he succeeded in his studies, he would not be able to surpass them.
"Master Hee must be joking. At your age, you have already learned how to sculpt. With all due respect, I'm afraid you will not surpass us. " After all, we are all people with excellent works. "
"That's right, Master Hee. High-grade jade is very easy to break. If it doesn't break, it won't be worth it. For safety's sake, leave it to us. I guarantee that it will definitely become an unparalleled piece."
"I can do it too. You can choose me, can't you?"
All the masters who were respected by others went crazy and refused to give in to each other in order to fight for the right to carve a piece of top-grade jade.
"Stop..." Hee Chen stopped them in time.
"You guys don't seem to have heard Master Huang say that I am also a master sculptor." Hee Chen said playfully.
"Stop joking. Master Hee, do you have any works?" Lightning teased.
Hee Chen said helplessly," Not at first, but now... "
"Who has a file with them? Can I borrow it?"
