After seeing the green light, the stone-cutter beca cautious.
If the jade were to be shattered, the loss would be substantial.
He slowly wiped open the stone skin, discovering a circular jade inside, with a very faint green color, likely not of good quality.
Soon, the jade was revealed, a very round piece, but its quality wasn’t good, not worth much money.
"What a pity!"
"Yes, if its quality were better, it would have been sothing!"
"Who wouldn’t agree with that!"
"Such a sha!"
Everyone was filled with regret.
The stone-cutter shook his head, preparing to set aside the jade and continue wiping another cooler one.
But once he picked up the jade, he was stunned.
The stone-cutter showed an incredulous expression and shook the jade, and a sound of water ca from inside!
"This is..." the stone-cutter exclaid in disbelief, "Water Jade!"
There is an extrely rare condition where jade contains water inside, with different shades of color. The conditions to form this kind of jade are very demanding, so few can cut Water Jade.
After all, the formation process of jade is quite a lengthy one, let alone encapsulating water, which makes this probability even smaller.
Hence, such jade is extrely precious as well.
Upon hearing the stone-cutter ntion Water Jade, everyone was dumbfounded, watching the jade in his hand in disbelief.
The stone-cutter shook it again, and a faint water sound ca from inside.
It was indeed Water Jade!
"Unbelievable!" the stone-cutter exclaid with shock, handing the jade to Chen Xiaohuo who was waiting on the side.
He felt this person who picked the stone must have been blessed by Lady Luck!
Otherwise, how could one continue to uncover such rare jades?
Chen Xiaohuo took the jade and shone a light on it, imdiately revealing a wave of watery green inside.
"It’s Water Jade!" Chen Xiaohuo confird and exclaid.
"My god!"
"This..."
"How could it be!"
"This is just unbelievable, continually uncovering two such premium stones in a row!"
"They must be advertising!"
"Could this be so marketing stunt by them?"
"Possible!"
"I also think this is too mysterious!"
This mysterious occurrence made everyone start to doubt.
Seeing the commotion and hearing the words Water Jade, Bai Zhuang couldn’t help frowning.
Yang Chen encountering such a low-probability event was practically... miraculous!
Bai Zhuang felt he had truly t a worthy opponent this ti, and if he really lost, it would be purely due to luck.
But unfortunately, his stone collapsed!
After cutting for a long ti, he hadn’t seen a trace of green.
On Yang Chen’s side, two more circular Water Jades were uncovered consecutively.
With three circular Water Jades placed together, lit up, they reflected a shimring radiance.
This green glow was so enticing that every lady present felt sowhat unable to resist its allure.
Unable to hold back, soone shouted, "Bro, I’ll pay five hundred thousand for a piece of Water Jade, sell it to !"
"I’ll pay six hundred thousand!"
"Bro, seventy thousand! How about it? Give it to !"
"I’ll pay eighty thousand! I just want one, not to take from others!"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Sorry, I said I wouldn’t sell. If you want to buy, wait until our bet is over, then you can talk to my brother Chen Xiaohuo, perhaps you can collaborate."
"Your brother? You’re giving your jade to him?" soone asked.
"I’ll have him represent it," Yang Chen replied.
Chen Xiaohuo was moved upon hearing this, "Bro! I..."
Yang Chen waved a hand at Chen Xiaohuo, saying, "Save your words for after it’s all over."
Chen Xiaohuo nodded, still feeling touched inside.
Bai Zhuang had already lost two rounds in a row, and if he couldn’t pull back the price difference in the third round, he would surely lose!
Hence, Bai Zhuang was very tense and imdiately began cutting the third stone.
Seeing this, Yang Chen also instructed soone to start cutting the last piece.
Not long after, Bai Zhuang’s side shouted, "It’s up!"
People rushed over.
As the jade’s outline gradually erged, soone shouted, "It’s up again! Big rise!"
"Glutinous rice variety, ice-clear!"
"Premium stuff!"
"So beautiful!"
Chen Xiaohuo glanced over there, anxious upon confirming it was indeed ice-clear glutinous rice variety.
This prestigious ice-clear jade is extrely valuable, often starting at a million for a small piece, let alone seeing that Bai Zhuang’s jade seed quite large.
Looking back at his side, the third piece seed about to completely collapse, failing to cut anything out.
He silently compared the value of his jade here with that over there, realizing it would likely be very hard to win.
"Bro... over there..." Chen Xiaohuo looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Don’t worry."
"But..." Chen Xiaohuo looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shook his head slightly, signaling Chen Xiaohuo to stop talking.
Since it was ice-clear jade, the stone-cutter felt especially good with his touch, quickly cutting out the jade.
Bai Zhuang brought the jade over, jubilant.
anwhile, it was a coincidence that the last piece of stone here was cut down without seeing a bit of green.
The master stated with resignation, "It’s gone."
"Haha!" Bai Zhuang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, placing the jade on the table, gesturing, "What do you say, Younger Brother Yang, who won?"
"That’s not certain," Yang Chen replied mildly.
Bai Zhuang’s face darkened, glaring at Yang Chen, "Younger Brother Yang, no sense in playing tricks, my two pieces of glutinous rice jade are both premium, valued at least three million or more! Although you have more jade, and it’s also not bad, it’s worth at most over two million, incomparable to mine."
"That’s right." Yang Chen nodded.
"Then accept defeat willingly!" Bai Zhuang laughed.
"Don’t rush!" Yang Chen smiled slightly, looking at Bai Zhuang, "My stuff hasn’t been fully cut yet!"
"Hmm?" Bai Zhuang was taken aback and frowned at Yang Chen, "What do you an? Three stones total, don’t try to cheat!"
"I of course know the rules." Saying this, Yang Chen walked over to the stone cutting machine and searched through the stone that had been cut into fragnts.
Seeing this, Bai Zhuang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Younger Brother Yang, playing like this has no aning! Accept defeat willingly, don’t be a sore loser!"
Others also chuckled lightly along.
They thought there’s no way there could be jade in the cut fragnts, believing Yang Chen just couldn’t accept losing.
After searching for a while, Yang Chen picked up a palm-sized piece and said, "Found it!"
Bai Zhuang frowned at this and said coldly, "Alright, Master, let him cut it, let him give up this idea!"
The stone-cutter shook his head upon hearing this.
He’s seen too many situations like this, years of hard work, squandered in an instant, leaving one penniless.
So people just can’t take losing, even if they can stand it, they’ll struggle to recover, leading to a dire future.
But these aren’t his concerns to worry about; he’s rely responsible for cutting stones.
Yang Chen drew a line and said to the master, "Cut directly from here!"
The master nodded and cut straight through.
But when he cut, a dense green light burst forth suddenly.
"Is it up?" Chen Xiaohuo was shocked, eyes wide, questioning in disbelief.
