I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master-Chapter 105 - The Art of Returning to the Origin!

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Liu Changgong and the others got up. After eating breakfast made by Huang Ze, they left for the Tao Ran Residence, by the Ceramic Stream.

The Ceramic Stream sounded like a small stream, but in reality, it was a small river. It was the mother stream of the Southern Region, a tributary of the Min River.

When Liu Changgong and the others arrived at Ceramic Stream, the sky was already bright, and the riverside was bustling with people.

Countless small vendors were selling all kinds of small goods in the area designated by the Sun family. There were people walking and carriages coming and going. Countless high-ranking officials and nobles walked toward the ceremony under the escort of servants.

Although Liu Changgong and the others kept a low profile, they still had the relationship of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Today, they were the distinguished guests who could sit on the viewing platform!

The moment they appeared by Ceramic Stream, a few middle-aged men in green clothes came forward and welcomed them into the competition venue.

This time, in order to expand the influence of the Ceramic Arts Convention, the Sun family had spent a lot of money!

Beside Ceramic Stream, on a huge field, there were already over a hundred workstations!

At the front, there were a total of ten, which corresponded to the ten great families of Ceramic City!

These ten great families all started from ceramic arts, and each of them had their own unique skills.

Among them, the leader was naturally the Sun family.

Around the competition field, the Sun family even directly arranged more than a thousand seats for the viewing platform.

The entire field looked magnificent and grand, highlighting the Sun family’s wealth and grandeur!

The Sun family’s generals, dressed in uniform, maintained order around the venue. There were even people who handed over their viewing tokens in order. With this token, they could sit on the viewing platform!

Not long after, Liu Changgong and the others also received their own viewing tokens.

Under the control of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, they were the group closest to the front!

Liu Changgong and his group had three beautiful women, cute little girls like Weiqi, and cute pets like the little fox Su Yue. Naturally, they were the most eye-catching group of people in the entire venue!

Many high-ranking officials and nobles looked at Liu Changgong and the others with curious expressions!

Some of the hidden gazes made Wang Yuyan, Hong Ye, and the others feel a little uncomfortable!

If these mortals dared to look at them with such unbridled gazes, they would probably gouge out their eyes at the first moment!

But by Liu Changgong’s side, they had already restrained their temper!

“Senior, our seats are here.”

Huang Ze was like a servant, walking in front to open a path for the others and find a seat.

Liu Changgong nodded and walked over to sit down. Wang Yuyan, Yu Hongye, and Shang Chan sat next to him in turn.

Qi’er did not need a seat and just sat in his arms.

“The position here is not bad. We can clearly see the pottery competition of the Sun family and the other ten great families!”

After sitting down, Yu Hongye spoke.

Liu Changgong nodded. This angle was indeed one of the best positions in the entire competition. He could clearly see the competition between all the ten great families!

Liu Changgong was still very interested in the Sun family’s unique skill, Nine Hands and Seventeen Cuts!

There were three most important points in the art of ceramics!

The first was the hands. Only the most flexible hands and the most appropriate strength could form the most perfect pottery embryo.

The second was the knife.

The knife here was not an iron knife, but a wooden knife!

The wooden knife could scrape mud and outline the shape, but cutting the clay would not hurt the pottery. It could be said that to make a good pottery, a good set of wooden knives was unavoidable!

The third was to grasp the rhythm!

When to start a fire, when to use force, when to deliver the goods…

The rhythm of each step would have a huge impact on the final product!

And in these twenty years of practice, Liu Changgong had already perfected the art of pottery!

It could be said that in his view, the hand was like a knife. Any strength could be mastered with proficiency and accuracy!

Whether it was regular pottery, or clay figurines that needed to be meticulously carved, Liu Changgong could grasp them easily!

This was a ceramic art that had returned to its original state!

This time, he had come to Ceramic City just to pass by and take a look to enjoy the fun.

Liu Changgong did not have the intention to go up to the stage to show off. After all, this kind of competition did not have any technical content in his eyes.

The only thing worth watching was the Sun family’s Nine Hands and Seventeen Cuts!

Under the prestigious reputation, there should not be any weak hands!

…

An hour later, a loud bell rang!

An old man in a luxurious robe stood on the stage at the front of the venue. After cupping his hands and bowing to the surrounding people, he said loudly, “Everyone, this old man is the patriarch of the Sun family, Sun Xide!”

“This Ceramic Art Convention will be hosted by my Sun family. Thank you for coming to watch the ceremony!”

“Before the competition begins, please allow me to introduce a few people to you!”

“The first one is the Fourth Prince of the imperial family of Great Xia, His Highness Li Xuanyi!”

“This time, His Highness Xuanyi specially came to the Ceramic Capital to work with my Sun family. He will replace the ceramic art with the ceramic art of Nine Hands and Seventeen Cuts into the imperial family of Great Xia. On behalf of the Sun family, I would like to express our gratitude to the imperial family of Great Xia for his presence!”

As he spoke, a young man stood up from the stage with a smile on his face and an elegant demeanor.

Liu Changgong felt that he looked a little familiar, and after a moment, he finally heard his name.

This fellow seemed to be very similar to that Li Xuanmen!

Moreover, their names were also very similar. Could it be that the two of them were brothers?

He did not expect that that stinky chess basket, who could not even play chess for more than a few steps, was actually a prince of Great Xia.

Liu Changgong smiled lightly and felt that the world was full of wonders.

On the stage, after introducing Li Xuanyi, Sun Xide smiled and introduced him again.

“The second person is the Third Prince of the Great Qi imperial family, His Highness Zheng Heng!”

After another round of introductions, everyone started discussing.

They had long heard that the Sun family had received many invitations from the imperial family. From the looks of it, the Sun family seemed to be waiting for a good price?

What was so amazing about the Sun family’s ceramic art that even the royal families of these kingdoms would deign to come here to watch the ceremony?

For a moment, the audience was in a heated discussion. There were all kinds of discussions!

After introducing the prince of the Great Qi royal family, Sun Xide’s face was full of smiles. He had actually introduced another prince!

This time, it was the Sixth Prince of the Great Chu royal family!

At this moment, those important figures who had come to watch the ceremony in the surroundings of the square were at a loss!

If the Great Xia royal family had come to watch the ceremony, it could still be explained.

After all, in the past, the Sun family had specifically forged pottery for the Great Xia.

But now, two more royal princes of the royal family had come. It was obvious that they were competing for the Sun family…

This caused everyone to be at a loss!

Liu Changgong was naturally very curious as well. Beside him, Yu Hongye directly asked in puzzlement, “Could it be that there’s something special about the Sun family’s pottery? The royal families of these kingdoms have seen all kinds of good things. They wouldn’t go so far as to compete for a mere pottery aristocratic family, would they?”

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, where Yu Hongye was located, was a large commercial force that spanned the immortal cultivation world and the mortal world. It was natural for it to be very familiar with the market situation of all kinds of commodities in the world.

The royal family had deep financial resources, so they should not be lacking in pottery.

No matter how exquisite it was, it would not be to the extent of a few royal families coming to compete!

There must be some inside information that they did not understand!
