Chapter 14: Liu Zhen

While Chen Li was walking around the jade trading area with Xiao Huoli, he suddenly saw many people gathered in front of a shop, whispering about the people in the shop.

Since he could hear their whispers clearly, Chen Li took one Qinglian jade and put it in the money bag, then went to the shop. Once inside the shop, he can see various types of jade jewelry, from bracelets to prayer beads, pendants, etc.

\'Sigh, all these jades are good, but still not as good as Qinglian Jade.\' Chen Li muttered as he continued to look through the jade jewelry being sold by the shop.

Not far from him, an old man was talking to a middle-aged man; they seemed to be seriously talking about jade, and the middle-aged man asked. "How was your trip to Yunnan yesterday, Uncle Liu?"

Old Liu sighed heavily, and he shook his head. "Nothing good, Xi Ping. I got three Imperial Jades yesterday, but all three are not perfect; although they are still expensive if I carve them, their quality is still disappointing."

"That\'s true, Uncle Liu. It\'s been a few months since I last obtained a supply of exquisite quality Imperial Jade, and since then, there hasn\'t been a single imperial jade of exquisite quality." Xi Ping regretfully said.

Both of them are experienced jade enthusiasts and carvers, but they must be disappointed with the quality of the jade they had obtained in recent months, as the supply of exquisite quality Imperial jade was steadily decreasing.

Chen Li and Xiao Huoli, who heard that, smiled. Xiao Huoli then pushed him forward and spoke softly to him. "This is your chance; they will go crazy over the Qinglian Jade."

Chen Li smiled and nodded before walking to Xi Ping and Old Liu. "Both uncles, I brought a jade better than Imperial jade. Are you two interested in taking a look?"

"A jade better than Imperial jade?" Xi Ping asked with a frown. "Do you want to mess with us, Kid? In my decades in the jade field, I\'ve never seen a jade better than Imperial Jade."

Old Liu has remained silent. Although he didn\'t believe that there was a jade better than Imperial Jade, somehow, he felt that Chen Li wasn\'t lying to them, especially when he saw that his bag was so big and looked heavy.

"Of course not, Uncle Xi. I don\'t know the type of jade myself, and I found this jade at my late grandfather\'s place." Chen Li remained relaxed even though he was lying; his expression didn\'t seem to change. Then he put his bag on the table in front of them, and he immediately opened it so they could see the Qinglian jade for themselves.

Xi Ping and Old Liu were instantly dumbfounded when they saw Qinglian Jade; their eyes widened, and their mouths agape. They were mesmerized by the Qinglian jade\'s beauty, especially its perfect emerald green color.

The translucency is also perfect, with a slightly blurred look, and when light hits the stone, it penetrates deep into it, giving it a somewhat ethereal glowing appearance. The texture is also smooth to the touch because of the density of the interlocked crystal.

Old Liu first woke up from the shock, then rubbed the Qinglian jade, as he had admiringly said. "How Beautiful! I have never seen jade as beautiful as this, and it is far more beautiful than Imperial Jade."

"It\'s true, Old Lu. This jade is extraordinary; everything is simply perfect in terms of color, translucency, and texture." Xi Ping added as he examined Qinglian Jade with a small telescope-like tool before turning to Chen Li and asking him. "Do you want to sell this jade, Kid?"

"Since it\'s the first time I\'ve seen it, I just wanted to find out what kind of jade this is." Chen Li said casually, as he was in no rush to sell it. And he was more interested in waiting for Old Liu to make an offer.

Chen Li felt he didn\'t view jade only from a business perspective, but Old Liu was a jade lover.

Old Liu continued to observe the jade very closely as his head continued to nod, and before long, he finally spoke. "What\'s your name, Kid?"

"My name is Mo Xie, Uncle Liu." Chen Li replied politely.

Old Liu nodded, taking his business card and giving it to Chen Li as he said. "How about I help you carve this jade of yours? I won\'t charge you anything; as a connoisseur and a jade artist, I just want to carve this beautiful jade into something more precious."

\'Liu Zhen? A professor from Tsinghua University?\' Chen Li was quite surprised to know Liu Zhen\'s identity because his identity was extraordinary, as he is a professor at one of the most prominent universities in his country.

Seeing Chen Li look doubtful, Xi Ping patted him on the shoulder and shouted. "Hey! You don\'t need to hesitate anymore! You are fortunate if Uncle Liu is willing to help you carve this jade because he is our country\'s number one jade artist, and all of his engraved jades always sell for very high prices at international auctions."

"I see. Then I will leave this jade to you, Uncle Liu." Chen Li said, nodding in agreement.

Liu Zhen smiled, satisfied with Chen Li\'s decision, and then he said. "Come to my house and take this jade with you in two days. A jade of this size can be carved into a few carvings, and the rest can be used to make some jewelry. So you think about what jewelry you want to make first and tell me later."

"Okay, Uncle Liu. I will come to your house in two days." After receiving a business card from Liu Zhen, Chen Li said goodbye to them and immediately took the Qinglian jade away.

Xi Ping then said with a laugh. "He seems to need a lot of money, and you also need quality jade, Uncle Liu. So this is a real win-win solution for the two of you."

"True." Liu Zhen replied curtly with a broad smile; he himself couldn\'t wait to engrave Chen Li\'s Qinglian Jade because he was confident that he could produce an extraordinary work of art with it.
