Ma La and Zhang Kaixuan were brought over quickly.

Ma La was in relatively good shape, but Zhang Kaixuan had been tortured to the point of losing his human semblance. It was obvious that Suo Meng wanted to use torture to provoke Ma La's hatred.

Seeing his father and uncle here, Zhang Kaixuan could hardly believe his eyes and collapsed at his father's feet, crying loudly as he hugged his legs.

Zhang Yaming, watching his son in this state, couldn't help but shed tears, deeply regretting how he had treated his son in the past.

After a while, when the emotions of the father and son duo had settled and they thanked Ge Dongxu for his help, Gan Lei was tormented to the point his eyes were bulging out, leaving him barely clinging to life.

Ge Dongxu initially intended to torture Gan Lei for at least a few hours, but ultimately he was not a heartless person with a heart of stone. After glimpsing the pained and pitiable state of Gan Lei, he finally made a hand gesture and the ancient character slowly faded away.

"Master Ge, spare my life, spare my life, please! I really won't dare anymore, truly won't dare!" Even though Gan Lei used to be a tough man, after such torment, he was now crying with snot and tears, kowtowing repeatedly to Ge Dongxu and looking at him with eyes full of fear, as if seeing a demon from the eighteenth level of Hell.

He would rather die than experience that feeling again.

"This time, let it be. But if in the future you break the oath you just made, it won't just be for a short period. Instead, it will be for seven days and seven nights," Ge Dongxu said indifferently.

Hearing the words "seven days and seven nights," Jiang Baoming and others, recalling Gan Lei's torment, felt chills run down their spines and they trembled in fear, not daring to imagine what such torture would be like.

…

Ge Dongxu and the others still took the same three jeeps on their return trip, but this time Gan Lei personally escorted them to the checkpoint at the border, leaving the border soldiers there nearly dropping their eyes in shock.

It was already dark when they returned to Dalu Town.

Concerned about the matter his mother had entrusted him with, Ge Dongxu did not stay the night in Dalu Town. After meeting with Chairman Lin and the others and thanking them for their help, he returned to Huaxia Country with Ouyang Murong.

Chairman Lin, like Gan Lei, personally escorted Ge Dongxu and the others to the checkpoint. His attitude had become much more respectful compared to the previous night, even carrying a sense of walking on thin ice.

Apparently, the events of the day at Gan Lei's had been privately communicated to Chairman Lin by Jiang Baoming.

Accompanying Ge Dongxu and Ouyang Murong back were Zhang Yaming and his son, Zhang Yaku, and Ma La.

Having experienced this event, Zhang Yaming could see the deep bond between his son and Ma La. Moreover, on the way back, Ge Dongxu mentioned that they were a good match and that after surviving a great disaster, Ma La would be a wife that brought prosperity to her husband.

Zhang Yaming had completely accepted Ma La as his daughter-in-law, and even because of Ge Dongxu's latter remark, he suspected that if Zhang Kaixuan dared to treat Ma La poorly now, he might even become angry with his own son.

After passing through Dalu Port, Zhang Yaming and his family stayed temporarily in Dalu Town, while Ge Dongxu was driven by Ouyang Murong to rush through the night to Xishuangbanna, and the next day took a flight from there to Kunming and returned to Linzhou City.

Upon his return to Linzhou City, Ge Dongxu did not go to Yadu Garden, nor did he directly return to Changxi County. Instead, he first went to Jiang Region Jewelry.

Ge Dongxu was now very familiar with Jiang Region Jewelry. He greeted the young and beautiful uniformed sales ladies behind the counter with a smile as he dragged his suitcase directly up to the second floor.

"You're back, how was the harvest?" Tang Yahui, upon seeing Ge Dongxu's return to the office, was very happy.

"Not bad," replied Ge Dongxu with a smile.

"Let me see it," said Tang Yahui, who was in this industry and naturally interested in jadeite. She immediately asked to see it.

Ge Dongxu smiled and casually opened the bag.

In an instant, Tang Yahui's mouth hung open, unable to close for quite some time.

Because Ge Dongxu's bag was nearly full of Glass Type Jadeite, and the worst in there was still high-quality Ice Type Jadeite.

But that wasn't the key point; the crucial fact was that Ge Dongxu had truly fashioned the Glass Type Jadeite into over a hundred simple Jade Tokens almost devoid of any artistic processing. If these were crafted into ornaments, how much money would that be worth?

Thinking of money, Tang Yahui couldn't help but feel her heart bleed; rich people are just so capricious!

However, Tang Yahui quickly regained her composure, as she knew all along that Ge Dongxu purchased the Glass Type Jadeite specifically to make such Jade Tokens. She also knew he had more money than he knew what to do with. It was just that she had never seen so much Glass Type Jadeite before, nor had she seen anyone turn such upscale jade into so many Jade Tokens, which briefly stunned her.

Once back to her senses, Tang Yahui asked for Ge Dongxu's permission before carefully taking out each piece of unprocessed Jadeite from his bag.

Sunlight streamed through the glass windows and fell upon the Jadeite in Tang Yahui's hands, refracting an incredibly captivating luster. Tang Yahui was involuntarily intoxicated by the sight, wishing that all the Jadeite was hers.

"What kind of jewelry do you like? Bracelets? Rings? Or pendants? And of these unprocessed Jadeites, which color do you prefer?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile, noticing Tang Yahui's initial shock and then her careful admiration of each piece of Jadeite.

"Why?" Tang Yahui unthinkingly asked, her eyes still unwilling to part from the Jadeite.

"I'll craft something for you," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Ah!" Tang Yahui looked up at Ge Dongxu, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Yes, you've helped me so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have acquired so much Jadeite," Ge Dongxu nodded as he spoke.

"No need, no need; this is all Glass Type Jadeite. Just crafting any piece of ornament would be worth at least a few hundred thousand," Tang Yahui quickly shook her head.

"Tang, the manager, measuring our relationship in terms of money is too mundane, isn't it?" Ge Dongxu said, hearing her words with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yahui was slightly taken aback before realizing that money meant nothing to the young man in front of her, and talking about such "petty cash" with him indeed seemed quite vulgar.

"Alright then, I won't be petty with you, the big boss. I like pendants; this violet one, specifically. Later, I'll ask the master to cut a piece off for me, then seek a well-known master craftsman in the field to help carve and fashion it for me," Tang Yahui said with a smile.

"What shape of pendant do you like? I'll help you carve and fashion it," Ge Dongxu offered with a smile.

True beauty is nature's beauty, as cultivators have a closer connection with the natural world than ordinary people do, giving them a unique and keen sensitivity to its beauty.

From this perspective, cultivators who take up art have an innate advantage over ordinary people and can more easily become outstanding artists, much like those born with extraordinary artistic talents.

Especially for cultivation experts like Ge Dongxu, who had experiences of Unity of Heaven and Man, they possess an incomparably profound understanding of natural beauty. If he were willing to switch careers and pursue art, he would undoubtedly become a master artist.

The jewelry that Ge Dongxu planned to polish this time wasn't just mere ornaments; he also intended to engrave Formations within them. Thus, the requirements for polishing became quite demanding. Not only did the aesthetics matter, but it was also imperative not to interfere with the Formations he planned to arrange inside. This task was far more complex than simply cutting Jade Tokens; therefore, he had to take personal charge of it.

Luckily, his recent journey to the Yunnan border had led to significant increases in both his Cultivation and spiritual power, along with the experience of Heaven-Man Unity, making it not so difficult to manage both aspects. Otherwise, if it were before, he would have found it hard to balance the two, as he couldn't "see" the exact pathways of the patterns inside the Jadeite and the flow of spiritual energy.

It is said that a true master jade carver can work the raw jade material, taking its overall shape, color, etc., into account, to craftily sculpt away impurities, cleverly utilize defects, avoid cracks, and maximize the jade's potential, turning it into a creation that appears entirely natural without any flaws.

For Ge Dongxu, however, achieving such natural perfection is only skin deep for a master jade carver. If he wishes to engrave Formations inside the Jadeite, he must achieve perfection both externally and internally, as he carves not just the surface but also the inside.
