These things Tang Yahui naturally did not know, she heard that Ge Dongxu was going to do the polishing and carving himself, her eyes immediately widened, shaking her head repeatedly and saying, "No, I don’t want to wear pendants that are like those Jade Tokens of yours."
Ge Dongxu couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh upon hearing this. If the Jade Tokens in his bag were engraved with the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation and then put up for sale, even if the price were one hundred million, he estimated there would still be people clamoring to buy them.
To those who pursued the path of cultivation, Jade had value, but Jade Talismans with the Spirit Gathering Array were something money couldn’t buy even if you had a place to shop for them.
Of course, Ge Dongxu wouldn’t say this to Tang Yahui but simply smiled and said, "Don’t worry, it’s not that kind of Jade Token. Just tell me roughly what kind of style you like, and I guarantee you will like it after I create it."
"Really?" Tang Yahui still looked at Ge Dongxu with some disbelief.
After all, carving Jade was an artistic endeavor, requiring not only talent but also years of immersion before one might hope to become a Jade Carving Master.
"Yahui, I don’t readily create jadeite pieces for others. If you don’t believe me, then when I’m done, I’ll just cut a piece for you," Ge Dongxu said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I believe you, I believe you," Tang Yahui’s pale face turned inexplicably red for a moment, then she hastily said.
"Then tell me, what shape do you like?" Ge Dongxu asked.
"A teardrop shape, in violet Glass Type Jadeite, it would definitely be beautiful if made like that," Tang Yahui’s eyes showed a longing, but the thought of Ge Dongxu doing the polishing made her heart skip a beat for no reason.
"All right, then. I’ll borrow your carving studio for a bit," Ge Dongxu said.
"Do you need Master Wu’s help?" Tang Yahui asked.
"No need, I can manage alone," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Okay then." Although Tang Yahui was still worried that Ge Dongxu might waste the good material, she reluctantly nodded her head.
After all, even if it’s the worst Glass Type Jadeite, the waste could not possibly be worse than directly cutting it into rectangle shapes like the Jade Tokens.
Once in the carving studio, this was ultimately Ge Dongxu’s first time carving Jade, and he was also somewhat uncertain. He thought for a moment and then said to Tang Yahui, "Get me a few pieces of lower-grade jadeite, let me practice on them first."
Tang Yahui, who was following behind Ge Dongxu, nearly stumbled upon hearing this and nearly fell onto Ge Dongxu.
"Have you learned carving before?" Tang Yahui steadied herself and asked with a wry smile.
"This is my first time doing this kind of carving," Ge Dongxu said.
The carving Ge Dongxu was referring to, of course, was the external one. As for internal carving, arranging the Spirit Gathering Array, especially the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation, was many times more difficult than creating a piece of jewelry.
To think this guy was still learning as he went along! Tang Yahui, upon hearing this, felt like crying without the tears, truly wanting to snatch the Jade from his bag.
Having money doesn’t mean you should waste it like this!
Fortunately, Tang Yahui still knew that Ge Dongxu was no ordinary person, and besides, the Jade was his; he could do as he pleased, and it wasn’t her place to intervene.
"Alright, I’ll get a few more pieces for you." Tang Yahui looked at Ge Dongxu for a good while before finally nodding her head helplessly, then took some unprocessed glutinous jadeite from the safe and handed them to Ge Dongxu.
"That’s enough, you can go out now. Please also ask others not to come in and disturb me," Ge Dongxu said, taking the glutinous jadeite and nodding.
```
"Okay," Tang Yahui looked meaningfully at Ge Dongxu before leaving the carving room.
```
```
Even if Ge Dongxu hadn’t mentioned it, she was too embarrassed to let anyone else in to disturb his work.
```
```
A novice daring to carve Glass Type Jadeite, just thinking about it made Tang Yahui’s heart ache sympathetically; should a Jade Carving Master see this, wouldn’t they rush over and fight Ge Dongxu on the spot?

Because this was outright humiliation to any Jade Carving Master!
```
```
After Tang Yahui left, Ge Dongxu tried polishing a sticky variety of jade and made a Jade Bracelet, a teardrop pendant as requested by Tang Yahui, a heart-shaped pendant, and a ring face.
```
```
After a round of polishing, he found it much easier than he had anticipated and then began working with the Glass Type Jadeite to make the accessories he wanted.
```
```
Ge Dongxu made three Jade Bracelets, two of which were blue-green Glass Type Jadeite Bracelets, and one was a violet Glass Type Jadeite Bracelet; two blue-green Glass Type Jadeite ring faces, as well as a teardrop pendant, and two heart-shaped pendants, all of the pendants were violet Glass Type Jadeite.
```
```
After polishing was complete, Ge Dongxu began to calm his breath and focus, then started to set up and carve the Body Protection Formation on them.
```
```
This was the most challenging part for Ge Dongxu because these pieces of jade were not shaped like Jade Tokens, but instead were circular, teardrop, heart-shaped, and ring faces, leaving him limited space for engraving.
```
```
Fortunately, Ge Dongxu’s Cultivation Power had increased significantly lately; the materials he used were also of high quality, and he was not engraving the complex Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation, but rather a relatively simple Body Protection Formation. As long as he was careful, Ge Dongxu was confident he could engrave them successfully in one go.
```
```
Still, after continuous engraving of eight items, Ge Dongxu was really fatigued.
```
```
After completing the engravings, Ge Dongxu pondered for a moment, then sat down solemnly on the ground, his hands moving quickly to cast spells, followed by two droplets of bright red blood, looking like flames burning, emerging from his brow.
```
```
As soon as these two brightly burning drops of blood emerged from his brow, Ge Dongxu’s face, which was originally rosy, suddenly turned pale; he gasped for air as if he had rapidly aged.
```
```
These two drops were Ge Dongxu’s Lifebound Essence Blood.
```
```
If it hadn’t been for the recent significant increase in his Cultivation Power, Ge Dongxu wouldn’t dare to recklessly extract Essence Blood from his body, as it could cause irreparable damage to his foundations.
```
```
Even with the recent increase in his Cultivation Power, two droplets of such Lifebound Essence Blood were already the limit he could handle.
```
```
After all, Ge Dongxu only had a total of nine drops of Lifebound Essence, corresponding to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.
```
```
Going forward, if he wanted to extract more Lifebound Essence Blood without harming his foundations, he would probably have to wait until he reached the Dragon Tiger Realm.
```
```
Looking at the eight pieces of jewelry in front of him, Ge Dongxu decided to infuse one bracelet and one ring face with the two drops of Lifebound Essence Blood.

```
Strangely enough, as soon as the Essence Blood dropped onto them, it slowly seeped into the jade and then vanished without a trace. The only change was that the color of the jade seemed to come alive and became more pleasing as if imbued with a spirit.
```
```
Once he had done this, Ge Dongxu took a short while to regulate his breath on the spot before getting up and carefully storing the eight pieces of jade jewelry he had crafted, and destroyed the earlier trial pieces.
```
```
By the time Ge Dongxu left the carving room, the sky had completely darkened.
```
```
However, Tang Yahui was still in her office, obviously waiting for him.
```
```
Seeing Ge Dongxu return with a pale and haggard face, she forgot about her concern for the fine jade he might have wasted, and instead felt moved and sympathetic. She quickly poured him a glass of water and said, "You really should take it easy, crafting jewelry is very taxing on the mind and spirit. Couldn’t you have taken a break instead of pushing yourself like this until now?"
```
```
Ge Dongxu just smiled, and from his bag, he took out the specially crafted teardrop-shaped pendant for her.
