The Zhong Kui Visualization Diagram was originally like a portrait, and it was a little abstract. However, when Xia Ruofei used his divine thoughts to sense it, the portrait began to become three-dimensional and lifelike. It was as if a 2D picture had suddenly become 3D.
More importantly, Xia Ruofei could even feel the great righteousness of the Zhong Kui portrait. The content of the visualization diagram was immediately clear.
Without a doubt, the work carved under such circumstances would definitely be the most charming!
Xia Ruofei already had an idea in his mind. This visualization diagram was so magical that it couldn't be better to use it as the prototype of a jade carving. Since he couldn't find the image of Bao Gong, he wouldn't use it. He would use the images of Zhong Kui and Master Guan. Then, according to the jade material planning, he would make a few Guanyin jade carvings.
After making up his mind, Xia Ruofei visualized the images of Guan Gong and Guanyin Bodhisattva. After he understood it clearly, he took out the Lingtu Painting Scroll and entered the Ring-Tu space with a thought.
When he picked up the rare black jade again, he was no longer at a loss. He had a certain amount of confidence in his heart.
This kind of natural jade was definitely irregular, so how to plan it was also a kind of knowledge. He had to find the best arrangement to maximize the utilization.
Although Xia Ruofei didn't have any experience in this area, his brain was much faster than ordinary people. His calculation ability was also much better than ordinary people. In addition, he already had a deep understanding of the content of the carving, so he quickly constructed a prototype.
Some of the irregular protrusions on the black jade, if used well, could be used as a part of the jade carving. He only needed to carve it a little. Only by taking these details into consideration could he make the best use of this jade.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry to start. Instead, he repeatedly thought about the structure of the entire jade until he understood every detail in his heart. Then, he quickly began to deduce.
Finally, Xia Ruofei took out a red marker and began to draw lines on the surface of the jade.
After checking it several times, Xia Ruofei took out a carving knife, poured his True Qi into it, and then cut the jade without hesitation.
Xia Ruofei was very decisive when he cut the jade because he had simulated it many times in his mind. After a while, the jade was cut into more than a dozen pieces of different sizes.
According to Xia Ruofei's calculation, this piece of jade could be carved into eight Zhong Kui statues, six Guan Yu statues, and five Guanyin statues. In addition, the remaining scraps could be made into at least three sets of bead chains, a number of rings, earrings, and other trinkets.
After that, Xia Ruofei picked up a piece of black jadeite. With a glance, he knew that this piece of jadeite was going to be used to carve the statue of Guan Yu.
He silently replayed Guan Yu's visualization diagram several times, and then concentrated on the first strike …
The jade was turned back and forth in his hand, and he cut it accurately. Soon, an image of Guan Yu appeared.
Xia Ruofei had a whole set of jade carving tools, including carving knives, files, and so on. However, because of his True Qi, an ordinary carving knife of medium size could basically meet all the carving needs. He only changed his tools once or twice during the whole carving process. This was because the common carving knife couldn't complete some small details.
Xia Ruofei's every cut was just right. Not only did he reproduce the image of Guan Yu in the visualization diagram exactly, but his accuracy was almost 100%. There was no extra. Even the scraps were the same as the result of his deduction.
It should be known that these scraps of different sizes were also useful. If there was a slight deviation and he needed to make one or two more cuts, the scraps would inevitably become very small and broken, and could not be used again.
However, under Xia Ruofei's precise control, such a situation was impossible.
After the image of Guan Yu began to take shape, Xia Ruofei began to carve the details.
In the process, the scraps that were cut off by the carving knife were all scrap, because they were very small jade chips.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't waste any of it. He directly used his mind to control the Spirit Map's space and absorbed all of it. Although this little bit of jade was not even a hair from nine oxen when it came to leveling up, Xia Ruofei didn't have the habit of wasting things.
After a while, a lifelike Guan Yu statue appeared in Xia Ruofei's hand. It had a handsome beard, a domineering Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the iconic phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows …
The rarest thing was that the moment the entire jade carving was completed, it seemed to have a charm. It was clearly just a lifeless jade carving, but it seemed to have a kind of righteous and fearless temperament, making people unable to help but feel respect for it.
Xia Ruofei held the Guan Yu statue and admired it for a while. He was very satisfied.
He had carved some things in the past, including a pendant of Doraemon for Song Wei. Although they were very lifelike, they couldn't reach the level of this Guan Yu statue.
This was the effect of a visualization image. By visualizing Guan Yu's image, Xia Ruofei could restore the charm on the jade carving, so the effect was naturally better.
After resting for a while, he picked up another piece of jade embryo.
As it was easier to carve this Guan Yu statue and he already had the feeling, Xia Ruofei decided to continue carving the Guan Yu statue.
After about ten hours, Xia Ruofei had six lifelike Guan Yu jade carvings beside him. At the same time, there was also a pile of scraps of different sizes, which were carefully collected by Xia Ruofei.
As time flowed 30 times faster in the Archean Realm, Xia Ruofei didn't leave the Ring-Tu space and continued carving the remaining jade embryos.
When he was tired, he would take a nap on the recliner. When he was tired, he would drink some Spatial Spirit Pool Water. When he was hungry, he would just eat some biscuits.
It was all thanks to him being a cultivator that he could support such intense work.
Physical exhaustion was secondary. The work of carving jade was more mentally taxing. If he was mentally exhausted, a slight tremble in his hand could result in a priceless jade carving being destroyed.
These problems were naturally not a problem for Xia Ruofei, who had reached the Spirit Throb Stage.
Of course, to be cautious, he drank some Spirit Heart Flower petal solution after expending some of his mental strength to recover. At the same time, he paid attention to the balance between work and rest. After carving a jade carving, he would take an appropriate rest.
Just like that, Xia Ruofei stayed in the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm for four to five days before he finished carving all the jade.
There were eight statues of Zhong Kui, six statues of Guan Yu, five statues of Guanyin, and four bead chains. Every jade bead on the bead chains was hand-polished by Xia Ruofei. They were of the same size and were all round, as if they were made by a machine.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also used some of the larger scraps to make three pairs of earrings, five small pendants, and nine rings.
The shapes of these small accessories were scientifically designed according to the size and shape of the scraps. There were droplet-shaped, leaf-shaped, heart-shaped, and so on. Although there wasn't much jade used, every pair was a precious item.
Xia Ruofei was filled with a sense of accomplishment when he saw the piece of black jade turn into a jade artifact that could be called a work of art in his hands.
Of course, he had only completed half of his work. The next step was to carve runes according to the characteristics of each jade artifact.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't plan on finishing it all in one go today.
Firstly, he was rather exhausted from the continuous battle. Carving runes was also a task that required a high degree of concentration. It was even more tiring than carving jade artifacts.
Secondly, he needed to think carefully about what kind of runes he wanted to carve. Furthermore, he needed to deduce and practice in advance. He could only begin carving when he was confident. This wasn't something that could be completed in a short period of time.
Xia Ruofei didn't have any urgent needs. He needed to use these jade artifacts immediately. Therefore, he left the Ring-Tu space after completing the carving work.
Even with the thirty-fold time flow, Xia Ruofei had stayed in the Ring-Tu space for so long, but more than three hours had passed in the outside world. It was already one o 'clock in the morning in the outside world.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei went straight to bed after taking a shower.
…
The next morning, Xia Ruofei didn't make breakfast. Instead, he got up early and cultivated for a while. Now that he had a lot of spirit crystals, he didn't need to cultivate every now and then.
At seven o 'clock, Xia Ruofei had already washed up and dressed neatly. He went downstairs and went directly to the company's cafeteria for breakfast.
Xia Ruofei had "disappeared" for more than ten days, but the employees didn't feel anything. They were used to the chairman being a hands-off boss.
However, Feng Jing didn't know that Xia Ruofei had come back. When she saw Xia Ruofei sitting in the corner of the cafeteria and eating porridge, she was shocked.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at him again to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating.
Feng Jing walked to Xia Ruofei with a tray and sat down opposite him. Then, she asked with a faint smile, "Chairman, you're finally willing to come back?"
Xia Ruofei gulped down the porridge and wiped her mouth with a paper towel. Then, she picked up a deep-fried dough stick, dipped it in the soy milk, and took a big bite.
Then, he chewed and said with a lisp, "Manager Feng, thank you for your hard work …"
Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei's cheeky face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xia Ruofei saw her strange expression and asked again, "Manager Feng, did anything happen in the company when I wasn't at home?"
"No!" Feng Jing was a little confused.
"Then it's settled." Xia Ruofei took another big bite of the fried dough stick and continued, "This means that when I wasn't at home, your work was still done very well! It also means that you didn't let me down! "
Feng Jing took a big bite of the bun and said, "Anyway, you're always right. You're the boss! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sister Jing, I know you're working hard! You have to be more tolerant of an incompetent boss like me … "
Xia Ruofei's' Sister Jing 'made Feng Jing's heart soften. She also knew that with Xia Ruofei's character, he wouldn't be able to sit still if he was tied to the position of chairman.
So, Feng Jing sighed and said, "Okay … I'm not blaming you. It's just that you were away for a long time … Don't go out this morning! I need to report to you about the work during this period. "
"Don't worry! I won't go anywhere this morning! "Xia Ruofei said.
"That's more like it!" Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei and said.
At this time, another figure walked into the cafeteria and went straight to the window.
