Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 777: Chapter 105: Hidden Currents (Part 2)

"""You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you. Just focus on not embarrassing our company when we meet Li Quqi later," Anna snapped a Cherry Blossom Branch and felt it with her hand. Although it wasn’t very obvious, a faint Spiritual Energy was indeed flowing within the cherry blossom branches.

It was certain that among those who arranged the venue, there must be a Cultivator.

Only Cultivators with higher cultivation levels know how to handle the Spiritual Energy within plant bodies, allowing flowers to bloom at the right time, without any waste.

What astonished Anna was not the blooming cherry blossoms, but the silver liquid she had just sniffed. It wasn’t water, nor any oily substance; even less was it some kind of growth liquid.

If she wasn’t wrong, by the time the roses in the bottles fully bloomed, the effect of the silver liquid would be exhausted.

The fragrance of the flowers would be locked within the liquid, and with a bit of processing, it would become a bottle of perfume.

The one who prepared this liquid was quite cunning. Even if someone discovered the secret within the silver liquid and took some away stealthily, by the time they took the liquid back to a lab for analysis, it would have already lost its effectiveness.

"Although I don’t know the composition of that silver liquid, the liquid itself has no irritating smell, and is likely a natural plant extract. I must report this to the family. Especially to John, lest he always thinks that the Royal Research Room is the only place with cutting-edge plant growth liquid." Anna frowned and followed the other four people from Yabao Company walking in.

Different from the sparkling and glamorous counters on the outside, Li Quqi’s booth, both in location and setup, was hardly eye-catching.

The jewelry displayed at the booth was mainly ordinary Miao Silver, with designs mostly consisting of bracelets, necklaces, and Miao Clan jewelry. The style of the silver jewelry was simple and in contrast to the fashionable new jewelry around, it could even be said to be rudimentary.

Anna and her colleagues were not lucky, as Li Quqi was not at the booth. He had only arrived at the exhibition hall this morning when he was invited away by the organizers.

Although the nationally renowned master was not there yet, there were many people surrounding the Miao Silver booth, forming several layers inside and out, blocking the people from Yabao Company.

At first glance, among the spectators crowding over, most were international clients.

Yila was somewhat flustered to see all these foreigners flocking to Li Quqi’s silver jewelry booth, wondering in his heart: "These blond foreigners really don’t appreciate what’s good. There are so many attractive and valuable things outside, why are they crowding here?"

When Yila entered the exhibition hall, he was treated as a VIP thanks to his exhibitor badge, allowing him special access. After separating from Li Quqi, he took advantage of the convenience provided by his badge to roam from D1 to D4.

This tour really broadened his horizons and completely flipped his understanding of jewelry. Back in his hometown, he considered silverware to be the best there was, until he attended this international jewelry exhibition and truly saw what jewelry meant.

Just one finely crafted pigeon blood stone necklace displayed at the counter of a famous foreign jeweler captivated Yila for a long while. It was said that the necklace, which came from a well-known French jewelry merchant called "Yabao," had been bought from Myanmar at a high price.

That necklace was the highest-priced exhibit at the show, rumored to be valued at over thirty million.

"Hello, may I ask if Master Li Quqi is here?" Paul led a group of people and approached the booth, also briefly observing the various Miao Silver displayed.

What seemed to Yila as ordinary silverware, through the eyes of an expert like Paul, was deconstructed into the art of carving and decades of intricate crafting skills.

Li Quqi was well-known in China, but every time he attended an international jewelry exhibition, Paul was unable to attend, so they had never had the chance to meet.

As for the others with Paul, they were all rising talents in the jewelry design world, having only heard of Li Quqi but never met him.

"Are you from Yabao Company?" Seeing the letter markings on the others’ uniforms, Yila immediately realized that this symbol was from Yabao Company, the designer of the pigeon blood stone necklace he had seen entering the exhibition hall in the morning.

"You must be Master Li’s apprentice, hello. We’ve come specifically to find Master Li Quqi. This is our company’s chief designer, and I am Yabao’s publicity consultant," Anna was courteous to outsiders. The young man, barely in his twenties, his eyes immediately changed upon hearing they were from Yabao Company, admiration obvious in his gaze.

Yila’s reaction made Anna, who considered herself superior, feel quite good.

"I am Yila, the direct disciple of Master Li, and I’ve been learning the craft for more than a decade now. Please come in, the master had just gone to a meeting with the organizers and will not be back for a while." Yila saw an opportunity to get to know the people from Yabao Company and immediately had sycophantic intentions.

Though he verbally acknowledged himself as Li Quqi’s apprentice, in his heart, he was thinking about how to attract their attention. Ideally, he would demonstrate some of his skills in front of them, which would certainly add to his future development in China’s jewelry industry.

"Since that is the case, you should also be capable of silver making. I have a pocket watch that needs a chain. The watch is silver, so I would like to match it with a suitable silver chain," Anna got straight to the point and took out her silver pocket watch. (To be continued.
