The bell of noon rang slowly, and the morning exhibition of "Ancient Treasures" which was open only to people in the industry came to an end.
The door of the exhibition hall slowly opened to welcome the ordinary citizens who flocked in during the afternoon.
For them, these priceless bronze and jade artifacts are more of a novel check-in background in their circle of friends, rather than treasures that carry a heavy history.
Li Baizhong had obviously anticipated this and had already doubled the security force to cope with the surging crowds and ensure the safety of the cultural relics.
He patted Yu Bai's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, Xiaobai, we won't be in charge of this place anymore. Elder Wang, Dean Qian and the others are waiting!"
Yu Bai nodded, and followed Li Baizhong out of the noisy exhibition hall and into a private room in a nearby high-end restaurant that had been booked in advance.
The box was warm and already packed with people.
In the morning, experts, collectors and celebrities from all walks of life were present at the exhibition, who praised the Qin Dynasty treasures.
The dishes were exquisite and the wine was top-notch, but as the guests drank and chatted, the focus of the conversation was not the food.
This place has become a high-end information exchange venue.
People chatted in low voices, sharing the latest industry trends, exploring potential collaboration opportunities, or simply strengthening their connections.
For them, the "social" attribute of this lunch is far greater than the "dining" itself.
Yu Bai is undoubtedly a rising star in this "social feast" with a mysterious aura.
During the banquet, in between toasts and conversations, guests who could not contain their excitement immediately came up to the table.
"Xiao Yu, my old waist..." A white-haired old man pointed to his lower back with a wry smile.
"Miss Yu, excuse me for rudeness. I have had migraine for a few years. I don't know..." A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament looked at her expectantly.
After witnessing Wang Yinian and Qian Ying’s magical experience this morning, no one doubted it anymore.
During the short lunch period of just over an hour, Yu Bai calmly "treated" more than ten guests.
Her fingertips were still gentle, and each time they fell, they pressed precisely on the corresponding acupuncture points.
The energy of the pink crystal core flowed secretly at the fingertips, turning into a strange warm current that penetrated silently, dispelling the deep or shallow stiffness, soreness, or inexplicable congestion.
“Hiss…comfortable!”
"Amazing! I feel so much better now!"
"This feeling... is so wonderful!"
Without exception, those who have experienced it could not hide the surprise and relief on their faces, and the way they looked at Yu Bai changed from initial curiosity and tentativeness to admiration and warmth.
In private, the guests couldn't help but share their feelings.
"You felt it too, right? A warm current went in instantly, and then my whole shoulder relaxed!"
"It's more than just a warm current. I also feel a...indescribable force. It's very gentle, but it immediately cleared the blockage!"
"Could this... be the legendary... internal force?" Someone lowered his voice, his eyes flashing with yearning for the miraculous skills and abilities in martial arts novels.
"I think it's pretty close! Isn't that how those martial arts masters on TV heal people?"
Based on the Chinese people's innate romantic imagination of "Kung Fu" and "internal strength", this seemingly most mysterious explanation actually gained consensus the fastest.
Little did they know that what drove all this was not some inner strength gained through hard training, but a mysterious crystal core from another time and space.
Yu Bai's hearing became extremely sensitive with the help of the crystal core. He heard most of the whispers and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Internal force?
She really doesn't have this thing.
She did know that some of Fusu's close warriors had indeed vaguely touched the threshold of internal strength by absorbing crystal cores.
But she herself is merely a "porter" and "guide" of the crystal core energy.
However, this "beautiful misunderstanding" does save trouble.
She still had a calm and decent smile on her face, accepting everyone's gratitude and curiosity without pointing it out.
No matter how the process is interpreted, the results are real.
In the time it takes to eat a meal, with the help of Li Baizhong's platform and the "magical medical skills" bestowed by the crystal core, the name Yu Bai has quietly left a deep mark in the upper echelons of this circle.
A preliminary network of relationships has already spread out under her feet.
