The grinding and polishing of this transparent material is more delicate than other jades, and it also tests the operation.

Transparent jadeite is like a piece of glass, and the traces of carving will naturally destroy its transparency. The part cut and polished by a carving knife has become "frosted glass".

Now, Lu Li wanted to polish the "frosted glass" to restore its original transparency.

This process is more challenging and time consuming than engraving.

It only took one day for Lu Li to complete the sculpture.The polishing process took almost two days.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Lu Li completely finished the Nine Dragons Glazed Wall.

The next step is the official awards ceremony!

……

On the morning of the fourth day, the venue was changed to the square of Yushi City.

In front of the rostrum of the venue, a row of jade display racks were placed.The jade carvings created by Lu Li and others were placed on the display racks one by one.

However, the current display racks are still covered with silk, and the works inside cannot be seen.

At this moment, countless spectators gathered in the square, and the cameras of major media also pointed at the display racks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the [-]th Bianhe Cup Jade Carving Competition, which has received much attention, has now entered the review stage."

The host came to the stage, "In this jade carving competition, 43 jade carving masters from all over the country have quietly created exquisite works. So, who is the final winner? We will announce it soon."

"Please invite the judges to come on stage!"

Amidst the exciting music, Mr. Li and the judges took their seats on the judges' table under the guidance of Miss Etiquette.

Lu Li and the other contestants were already sitting in the audience, waiting for the selection of the works to be announced soon.

"Xiao Lu, I heard that your work was completed smoothly?"

Zhang Yu, a Shanghai jade carver who was sitting next to Lu Li, glanced at Lu Li and said with a smile, "Not bad! Such a difficult material has been successfully finished."

"good."

Lu Li smiled, and didn't care about Zhang Yu's condescending tone.

"It's really good!"

Another jade carver also nodded with a smile, "Transparent jadeite is very difficult to carve and polish. If it can be completed smoothly without cutting the material, it is already very good."

"Yes!"

Yangzhou Liu Yu, who was sitting on Lu Li's right, also nodded with a smile, "When I was Lu Li's age, I would never have been able to carve that piece of material. Lu Li's craftsmanship is really good."

These jade carvers were all praising Lu Li, but they still stood in a high position and looked down, praising Lu Li like they were praising their apprentices.

No one regarded Lu Li as a competitor, but only thought that Lu Li was "focusing on participation" and came here to gain knowledge.

They also heard that during the live TV broadcast, Mr. Li praised Lu Li's skills as "Han Ba ​​Dao".

It's just... the eight swordsmanship of the Han Dynasty to carve jadeite?What are you kidding?Drive a formula car like a bulldozer?

For the sake of "program effect", this kind of gimmick is made, which is to fool the layman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the intense selection process is about to begin."

The host said excitedly on the stage: "Next, let's present the first work."

A woman in ancient costume lifted the first square box covered with silk from the display shelf, walked to the judges' seat, and placed the box in front of Mr. Li.

"Everyone, this is the first piece of work that is participating in the selection. What kind of work is it? I would like to invite President Li Wenjin of the National Jade Sculpture Association to announce it."

Mr. Li stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to twist the silk cloth, and slowly uncovered it.

Under the silk cloth is a transparent glass box, inside the box is a piece of emerald green jade carving.

A vigorous and simple pine tree, with a few white cranes flying above it.

"This is the work of Master Liu Yu of Yangzhou, Songhe Yannian!"

Applause broke out.

Liu Yu got up from his seat and bowed to the surroundings.

Because the audience was too far apart, they could only watch the work from the large screen set up in the venue.

At this moment, the "Songhe Yannian" was displayed on the big screen.

The vigorous and simple green pines and the soaring white cranes are lifelike and exquisite.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"As expected of a master's work, it really is uncanny workmanship."

The audience was amazed.

"Now, I invite all the judges and teachers to appreciate it."

"According to the rules of the competition, the judges and teachers will score the works separately, and the work with the highest score will become the gold medal work of this Bianhe Cup Jade Carving Competition."

During the host's explanation, the judges and teachers on the stage carefully appreciated the "Songhe Yannian" one by one.

"The judges and teachers have finished appreciating, now...please judge the teachers to rate."

The host gestured to the judges on stage.

The judges and teachers stretched out their hands with a smile, and pressed the scoring button on their seats.

On the big screen, the scoring numbers jumped rapidly.It finally showed that...

"9.5 points! 9.5 points!"

The host announced the score excitedly, "Everyone, Master Liu Yu's Songhe Yannian work has a final score of 9.5 points!"

"This is a rare high score! The final score of the last Bian He Cup gold medalist was only 9.2 points. Master Liu Yu's score is already amazing."

"Next, I invite Chairman Li Wenjin to give us a review!"

Mr. Li nodded with a smile, and said to everyone: "This work is really a rare masterpiece."

Stretching out his finger to the jade carving in front, Mr. Li said again: "This piece of material is full of green and emerald green, and it is thick green, but it is not perfect. It contains impurities, which brings difficulties to the creation. Jing, has achieved a fine work, which shows that the skill is extraordinary."

Liu Yu got up quickly and bowed to Mr. Li, "Thank you! Thank you Mr. Li for your review."

Applause broke out.

"A master is a master. This year's Bian He Award is none other than Master Liu Yu!"

"Yeah! It's really superb and exquisite."

The audience also praised Liu Yu's work.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Li could clearly feel the joy and pride of Master Liu Yu.

"Old Liu, congratulations. This time, the Bian He Award must belong to you!"

"Yes! Mr. Li thinks so highly of you, you must have won the award. We can only study with the prince."

The jade carving masters also congratulated Liu Yu one after another.However, if it is sincere congratulations, then...hehe.

Next, the review is still going on.

A piece of exquisite jade carving works were displayed in front of the audience, which opened everyone's eyes.

Liu Yu is indeed very powerful.

None of the following works scored more than 9 points, and Liu Yu's 9.5 points are already far ahead.

As time went by, Liu Yu's face became more and more complacent, and her smile became brighter and brighter.

The penultimate work is the work of Master Zhang Yu from Shanghai.

This work is called "Where there is a fairy, there is a spirit".

The dark green emeralds are carved into verdant mountains, and the white jade in the middle is carved into fairy clouds, steaming clouds, and faintly, you can see the mountain dwellings in the valley, and refined scholars fishing.

Sure enough, it is full of fairy spirit.

Zhang Yu really has superb skills, this work has a profound artistic conception and is indeed extraordinary.

Seeing this work, Liu Yu's face became tense.

This is his greatest opponent!

"Next, let the judges and teachers score!"

On the big screen, numbers jumped rapidly.At this moment, Liu Yu's heart seemed to be beating rapidly.

"9.4! Master Zhang Yu's work, the final score is 9.4 points!"

When the final score came out, Liu Yu let out a long breath, with ecstasy on his face.

Won!

If you defeat Zhang Yu, you have already won!

Behind Zhang Yu, there is only the last work left, which is Lu Li's work.

Lu Li... Liu Yu completely ignored it.What are you kidding?Can Lu Li still threaten me?

This year's Bian He Award is already in my pocket!

"Old Liu, congratulations! You have won the Bian He Prize!"

"Yes! Old Liu is really amazing!"

"A treat! A treat!"

Other jade carving masters congratulated Liu Yu one after another.

Only Zhang Yu, who lost by 0.1 points, looked a little ugly.

As for Lu Li... he was completely ignored.

"Good! Good! Treat yourself! Tonight, Lijiang Grand Hotel, everyone must come!"

Liu Yu's face was full of joy, and he had already started preparing for the celebration banquet.

"The next one is the last work of this year's Bianhe Cup Jade Carving Competition."

"This work was carefully created by the famous young artist and jade carving craftsman Lu Li."

During the host's commentary, a hostess picked up the last box and moved to the judges' seat.

For Lu Li's work, Liu Yu and the others didn't pay attention at all. They didn't even raise their heads. They were still chatting and exchanging business ideas.

"Wow……"

When Mr. Li uncovered the silk cloth and the work was displayed on the big screen, the whole square exclaimed.

2Chapter 17 Today, we witnessed the birth of a masterpiece

Um?what's the situation?

Hearing this exclamation, a group of masters who were bragging about each other raised their heads in surprise.

Then...they saw Lu Li's work.

The pure glazed jade bi, shining in the sun, is crystal clear.

The crystal-clear jade bi is flawless, with no scratch left.On the jade biscuit, white clouds are lingering, the sun is looming, and the dragon beads are shining brightly.

Nine five-color giant dragons in different shapes, with winding bodies, gaping mouths, and flying scales, look lifelike and majestic, as if they are about to fly from the jade.

The entire Jiulong glazed wall has a dense layout, strict laws and regulations, and is exquisite.

Even laypeople who don't understand jade carving at all can't help but exclaim when they see this exquisite work.

It's really... so beautiful!

The audience doesn't know jade carving techniques, and they can't tell the difference between high and low skills, but they know what is beautiful and what is good-looking.

This crystal clear Nine Dragons glazed jade bi, as long as it is aesthetically normal, anyone who sees it will think it is exquisite.

"Is this... Lu Li's work?"

Seeing this exquisite Nine Dragons glazed jade bi, all the jade carving masters looked at each other in blank amazement.

Lu Li... has this ability?
