    Jade carving is also divided into two sessions, one is carving jade pendants or jade plaques, and the second session is carving small ornaments.

    There are no restrictions on the themes of these two carving competitions. It can be said that the participants are allowed to express themselves freely.

    Of course, you can be lazy and carve some simple objects when carving, but this can only be regarded as completing the competition. As for the final result, it will naturally be judged based on the overall workmanship and value of the jade.

    The next day, everyone gathered in front of the jade factory again. After that, they were taken to a workshop of the jade factory by the staff.

    When entering the jade carving workshop, some people from the small jade factory couldn't help showing wonder on their faces.

    “ This area covers an area of ??about 500 square meters, and there are more than 30 jade carving machines neatly placed. They all look brand new. This scene is really spectacular.

    The same is true for Chen Yi. When he was studying jade carving in Lingzhou, the living workshop where they worked was no more than 100 square meters at most, and there were only a few machines placed in it. These more than 30 machines were placed here together, so that  People can't help but marvel at the scale of Tianjing Jade Factory.

    Of course, there are also some apprentices from large jade factories who are not surprised at all. Some famous jade factories have dozens of jade carving machines, and they are just for fun.

    These jade carving machines also have the names and numbers of the contestants. After all, during the competition, it is very easy for people of the same genre to sit together and help carve something. In order to prevent these things from happening, we have  Yesterday, the jade identification was generally the same, every contestant had the front, back, left and right.  No one from the same faction will appear.

    Everyone was not immediately assigned to the jade carving machine.  Instead, they arrived first and gathered in the open space next to them.  In front of them, there is a large box, and inside the box is a world of jade, which is the same as yesterday's jade, with various colors and materials, but.  It seems that most of them are medium jade materials, and there are no stick jade, fake jade, etc. that appeared in the morning.

    At this time, President Yao of the Jade Association loudly explained the rules of this jade carving competition with a microphone.

    "Dear contestants, this jade carving competition is divided into two competitions. In the first competition, there is no limit on carving small jade ornaments, jade pendants, jade plaques, and jade pendants. In the second competition, there is carving small ornaments. There are also no restrictions on the subject matter.  "

    "Although there are no restrictions on the types of themes, in order to prevent the previous contestants from picking out all the good-shaped jade stones. Therefore, in the first carving competition, each person will randomly receive three pieces of jade. These three pieces of jade,  You will not be asked to carve them all. You will choose one of these three pieces of jade as the jade stone you will carve for this competition. Therefore, you have no chance of failure. Once you fail, it means that the score for this competition will be zero.  "

    "I hope you can pay attention to the piece of jade you have chosen, and evaluate in your mind whether you can carve it well and whether you have thought about what to carve. Once the jade material is carved, it will be covered with water and difficult to recover. Every jade carver should know this, okay.  Now, the contestants whose names are read, please come forward and choose the one you want to carve from three random pieces of jade. Please remember that the number in front of your name is the position of your jade carving machine. No. 1, Zhou Xiu  Dragon, please come forward and choose the jade material.”

    Hearing his name, Zhou Xiulong, who was standing next to Zheng Lilin, was stunned for a moment. After being pushed by Zheng Lilin, a depressed look appeared on his face. Needless to say, the No. 1 jade carving machine was also the closest to the judges' table.  In the first row, I am afraid that every move he makes will be seen by the judges above.

    Zheng Lilin sneered. After what happened yesterday, Zhou Xiulong has become the focus of the judges this week. It is impossible to get a ranking in this competition through some small means.

    It's just that Zhou Xiulong was afraid, but Zheng Lilin was not afraid. Isn't it just jade carving? At this time, he looked at Chen Yi, making sure that the person who had studied jade carving for less than half a year knew how powerful their Suzhou jade carving was, no matter how good their basic skills were.  So what, how can you carve good jade without a long period of practice? Half a year is not enough to learn theoretical knowledge, let alone practice every day.

    Sensing Zheng Lilin’s gaze, Chen Yi turned his head and showed a deep smile to him.

    Zheng Lilin snorted coldly, turned his head and watched Zhou Xiulong select jade materials. At this time, the three jade stones placed in front of Zhou Xiulong were of three types, namely Hetian jade, jadeite and a piece of Xiu jade.

    Xiu jade is also one of the four famous jades in China. It can be divided into old jade and new jade. The color of old jade is yellow and white, while another type of new jade is Xiuyan jasper, which is mostly green to lake green.

    "The Xiu jade in Zhou Xiulong's three pieces is actually Xiuyan jasper, and its green color is like lake water.??Green color.

    As for Hetian jade and jadeite, it goes without saying that they are all medium jade materials. The structural hardness of these three types of jade is different, and it can be said that their carving techniques are also different.

    At this time, everyone envied Zhou Xiulong's luck and sighed for him. What they envied was that he could choose the jade he was best at, but in contrast, he couldn't choose a piece of jade suitable for his performance.

    Just like painting, some people paint beautiful flower and bird paintings, but some people are not good at figure paintings. The same thing happens with jade carvings.

    Zhou Xiulong glanced at the three pieces of jade, and without much thought, he directly chose a piece of light yellow Hetian jade. After Chen Yi looked at it, he couldn't help but smile. He naturally knew what Zhou Xiulong was thinking.  The level of jade carving is only the entry level, so naturally you have to choose the easiest Hetian jade.

    Among the three jade materials, jadeite has the highest hardness, followed by Hetian jade, and Xiuyu has the lowest hardness. As for why Zhou Xiulong did not choose Xiuyu, which has the highest hardness, it is naturally very simple. Xiuyu has different shades of color, and its texture is similar to that of Xiuyu.  Hetian jade is very different. Because its material is soft and even glass can be scratched, it cannot be carved easily at all.

    “ Moreover, Xiuyu’s expressiveness is not as strong as that of Hetian Yu. If you want Xiuyu to stand out among many jade pendants, it will undoubtedly require a very high level of craftsmanship, which Zhou Xiulong does not possess.

    Seeing the jade material chosen by Zhou Xiulong this week, some of the judges couldn't help but nodded. A jade carver must first have self-awareness and know what kind of jade material he can carve at his level, instead of blindly choosing only good or expensive ones.  of.

    Among these three jade stones, jadeite is naturally the most valuable, but Hetian jade is the best for carving.

    Next, nearly thirty contestants selected jade materials one by one. Chen Yi did not watch carefully, but focused his attention on a young man. This young man had distinguished himself in jade carving techniques yesterday afternoon.  I just met him at school.

    The jade carving skills he possesses are also very deep and solid. After looking at the five pieces of jade for a short time, he fully explained their jade carving techniques. It can be said that except for Chen Yi himself,  The best people.

    This young man is an apprentice at the Tianjing Jade Factory. By this year, he has been studying in the jade factory for almost three years. Chen Yi used identification skills on him at that time, although his skills were elementary jade carving.  However, from the young man's self-confidence, he could tell that his jade carving skills were already at the top of the proficiency level, and were infinitely close to the junior jade carving expertise level.

    Among those who come to participate in the competition, there are very few who have the proficiency level of junior jade carving. It can be said that they are rare. They have only studied for three years. It is not easy to reach the entry level. Generally speaking,  I am afraid that it will be possible to achieve proficiency only after three years.

    People like Zheng Xiulong are among the lower-middle class in the entry level. This young man is very indifferent to others. Chen Yi heard from others that he is the direct disciple of a jade carving master from Tianjing Jade Factory.  The jade carving master's skills were even higher than those of Mr. Wang and others.

    In three years, with continuous guidance, daily practice, and some talent, it is possible to reach the current level. And this person's name is Shi Yu, who can be said to be very similar to jade carving.  appropriate.

    When Shi Yu was about to choose jade, Chen Yi stood beside him and watched him pick out a piece of Hetian jade from the three pieces of jade. Moreover, there was some stone skin on the Hetian jade. It seemed that he  The theme of carving must be determined according to the stone skin.

    Chen Yi smiled. In terms of the level of this stone jade, if it performs exceptionally, it can be equal to him. In this way, he must not slack off at all. In the jade carving competition, if everyone is as funny as Zhou Xiulong,  He also found it very boring, but having such an opponent made it more interesting.

    While Chen Yi was looking at the stone jade and choosing jade, the system prompts sounded in his mind again, "Task announcement: As the inheritor of Lingzhou jade carving, you must show the level of Lingzhou jade carving in this competition."

    "Task requirement: In the jade carving competition, get the top three and carve a jade article of slightly higher value."

    "Task reward: Lu Zigang Kunwu Dao hidden map fragments, three identification points, three body data points, and three energy points."

    When he heard about this mission, Chen Yi was not too surprised. After all, the system suddenly released missions too many times. But when he saw the mission reward this time, he was full of surprises. The hidden map of Lu Zigang Kunwu Dao  fragments.

    This should be the map obtained through which we can find the Kunwu Sword that was missing after Lu Zigang’s death., but now it is just fragments, probably only a fraction or a tenth of the map. By constantly completing tasks and receiving rewards, we can piece together a map to find the specific whereabouts of the Kunwu Sword.  (To be continued)
