Tourists from various countries and of different skin colors gathered here—white, yellow, and ck skin, with variousnguages rising and falling in the air. Exmations of amazement continuously resounded, highlighting the excitement of this jewelry exhibition.
When Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing finally returned to the Bai’s jewelrypany exhibit hall, they found it had already gathered quite a crowd, with many tourists holding cameras or phones, pressing their shutters continuously, and eximing in astonishment.
“Oh my god, is this an Eastern deity? It’s terrifying, as if it’s standing right in front of me.”
“This jade statue is incredible, lifelike. After living for so long, I finally get to see a living Sun Wukong.”
“Eastern deities, these are the true gods, so mighty. I wish I could buy it and take it home.”
Continuous exmations of amazement rang out, apanied by the sound of sharp intakes of breath from those around.
Lu Tianxing hurried forward, his gaze sweeping across the exhibit hall to discover that in the previously empty center now stood a jade statue, with all eyes directed towards it.
The statue stood as tall as a person. While the jade itself wasn’t particrly rare, it attracted countless eyes because it depicted the well-known Huaxia figure, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong.
At this moment, Sun Wukong stood amidst crashing ocean waves, wearing Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes, d in Golden Armor, adorned with the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, standing on a rock amidst the waves. He exuded a formidable aura, giving a sense of surveying the world with untamed arrogance, fearless of anything.
Looking at this jade statue was as if seeing the real Sun Wukong appearing before one’s eyes, an overwhelming aura of supremacy charging forward, infused with a hint of intimidation. Sun Wukong slightly opened his mouth, full of disdain towards heaven and earth, his expression lifelike, seemingly truly descending.
Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but be amazed. This was true carving, true craftsmanship; merely through a statue, it felt as if Sun Wukong was right in front of you. This carving skill couldpletely be said to have reached a miraculous level of perfection, an apex that no one could surpass.
Lu Tianxing finally understood why, when he had earlier asked Bai Zhiqing what the Bai’s jewelrypany had prepared as the highlight, Bai Zhiqing just smiled and said if nothing unexpected happened, Bai’s jewelrypany would really wow everyone this time.
Meanwhile, surrounding the Sun Wukong jade statue, on several smaller tforms, were other characters from “Journey to the West,” such as the Eng God, Nezha, Li Jing, and the Jade Emperor. Though not as vividly carved as Sun Wukong, they were still considered rare masterpieces, drawing many visitors to stop, look, and even prepare to purchase one to take home.
Bai Zhiqing followed behind Lu Tianxing, wearing a slight smile. She had initially nned to reveal this Sun Wukong jade statue in the Year of the Monkey next year, but seeing the response now, presenting it at this moment was producing an equally impressive effect, if not more. This was evident from the eager reactions of those around.

In the jewelry industry, there’s an unwritten rule that before the exhibition starts, underminingpetitors or damaging their entries is somewhat eptable, for business is like war. However, once the exhibitionmences, it bes a showcase of each jewelrypany’s strength, purely relying on capability.
