Chapter 111 Discovery
These feathers are not only beautiful in appearance, but every texture and detail on them have been meticulously carved by skilled craftsmen. The exquisite carving craftsmanship is enough to impress everyone.
If you look closely, you will find that each feather is distinct and neatly arranged, as if it had been carefully combed by a pair of skillful hands.
Their texture is as soft and smooth as silk. When you gently touch them with your fingers, the infinite softness and delicate touch will spread along your fingertips, as if you are touching the finest silk.
The feathers are intertwined with each other, with a distinct sense of layering. From a distance, they shine with a faint golden luster.
This light does not come from external radiation, but is emitted from inside the feathers, as if countless bright and dazzling stars gathered here to form such a dreamlike scene.
The gaze slowly moves upwards, focusing on the head of the phoenix, which is also a superb work of art.
Its eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky, and as sharp as two swords just out of their sheaths, with flames burning inside, as if containing endless power.
Through these eyes, one can feel a noble and mysterious aura coming towards him, which makes people feel awe.
The phoenix's beak is slightly curved, forming a graceful arc.
Its tip is pointed and sharp, flashing with cold light, giving people a feeling of indestructibility, as if it can easily break all the hard objects in the world with just a light peck.
The entire work is like a shining pearl. Whether you look at its overall shape from a distance or observe its details up close, it is impeccable and flawless, which is simply jaw-dropping and astonishing.
It does not seem to be a lifeless, cold, dead object, but rather a living thing with an endless supply of vitality. It exudes a mysterious and powerful aura that makes people involuntarily feel awe towards it.
The old Dragon King stared at the work intently, his eyes full of love and admiration, and his hands were tightly clenched, unwilling to let go.
He kept nodding his head and praising
"Good! Good! It's truly wonderful, absolutely exquisite!"
Before he finished speaking, the delighted old Dragon King generously rewarded the minister who presented the treasure.
Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to the minister like water, piling up like a mountain. At the same time, an imperial decree was issued, promoting the minister to a higher position and allowing him to enjoy unprecedented wealth and glory.
Faced with this unexpected gift, the minister was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will dedicate myself to your service until my death. In the future, I will redouble my efforts and serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul!"
At that moment, Bi Tianxing also happened to arrive at the scene. When the peerless treasure, meticulously carved from the rare and precious marrow crystal, was presented before everyone, a dazzling light suddenly poured out like a tide, instantly illuminating the entire palace.
Everyone present was deeply attracted by the dazzling light. They opened their mouths wide in shock and couldn't help but let out exclamations of surprise.
At that moment, the entire palace seemed to be filled with praises, rising and falling, continuous and uninterrupted. The sound was like a passionate symphony, echoing throughout the magnificent palace.
As for the minister, when he learned that he had received such a generous reward, the joy in his heart was simply beyond words.
The feeling was like the earth, which had been dry for a long time, finally being moistened and nourished by rain.
He stood there with a happy smile on his face and excitement shining in his eyes.
This minister is not a fool. He knows the true value of this marrow crystal stone.
This rare gem is not only dazzling in appearance, but also contains mysterious and powerful energy.
Moreover, judging by the love shown by everyone at the banquet for it, its preciousness is self-evident.
So, when night fell, as soon as he returned home, he could not contain his excitement and anxiety, and quickly summoned his trusted men.
He gave them orders with a serious expression, asking them to set out overnight to the place where more marrow crystals might be hidden, and to carry out the excavation work with all their strength.
As the saying goes, "hard work pays off." After a period of hard work, exciting good news finally came - a large number of marrow crystals were successfully excavated!
Looking at the mountain of marrow crystals before him, beads of sweat broke out on the minister's forehead, his heart pounding with anxiety. These marrow crystals were priceless! The slightest mistake would have disastrous consequences. Therefore, he dared not delay even a moment.
The minister's brow furrowed, his eyes blazing as he rapidly pondered a response. Immediately afterwards, he issued an order, mobilizing his most capable and trusted subordinates to begin the process in an orderly manner.
"You guys, hurry up and make sure to take advantage of the darkness of night when no one is noticing to deliver these extremely precious marrow crystals to the residences of the important officials in the court. Remember, there must not be any mistakes on the way!" the minister instructed seriously.
The men who had been named followed their orders and left. They hurried, their expressions tense and focused. Soon, carriages filled with marrow crystals disappeared into the night.
However, things did not develop as smoothly as the minister had initially expected. Although the attitudes of the ministers did change to some extent after receiving this generous gift, the change was quite limited.
The officials who had previously ignored or even mocked the powerless minister now smiled a little more and spoke in a slightly softer tone. However, this change was only superficial. Clearly, this small change was far from enough to achieve the minister's true goal.
Apart from a few polite words, there was nothing else particularly remarkable. This left the minister, who had hoped to use this opportunity to turn the situation around, feeling deeply disappointed and anxious...
You know, in the eyes of those experienced and knowledgeable court officials, this gift, while exquisite in appearance and indeed eye-catching at first glance, would reveal upon closer inspection that it was ultimately just an ordinary item, hardly possessing the charm or value that could completely change the stance of these powerful individuals, or garner them any special attention or care.
Something even more unexpected happened - among this group of ministers, there was actually an adult who did not care about the preciousness of this gift at all. He gave it to a child who loved this marrow crystal stone very much without hesitation and very generously.
