The dragon tribe's most beloved little princess found herself in an era of scarcity, lacking clothes and food. Fortunately, she had a grandmother who doted on her as if she were the apple of he...
Chapter 819 became the focus of the entire audience.
Helian Jiao selected three large raw stones with abundant spiritual energy. "Gu Tingyun, I want to buy these three!"
"Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter erupted nearby. Miss Li covered her mouth and laughed, saying disdainfully, "This is hilarious! I thought he was so knowledgeable! Turns out he's just a complete novice!"
Many of the onlookers were people who had been attending jade exchange fairs for years, and they could tell from the appearance of the three rough stones that they wouldn't yield any green jade.
"Young lady, this is a raw stone, there are many things to consider! You can't just pick a stone based on its size!"
"If you don't have any assets, never get involved in jade gambling, or you might end up bankrupt."
"Let's choose another one. With this condition, it's obviously unusable!"
...
Listening to what the people around him were saying, Ma Dashuai also advised, "Girl, you'd better not buy it. It's obviously not going to turn green."
If those three stones hadn't been displayed at this jade exchange fair, he would have thought they were just random stones picked up from the riverbank!
How could it possibly turn green?!
Gu Tingyun's eyes were full of doting and indulgence: "Okay, we'll take all three."
He could tell at a glance whether any of the stones contained spiritual energy and how concentrated it was, but he had no interest in gambling on stones; as long as his child was having fun, that was enough.
Seeing that they persisted, the others didn't say anything more.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Gu Tingyun also picked out a few raw stones without spiritual energy and mixed them in, "Including these as well."
Helian Jiao didn't stop them, since they weren't short of money anyway.
Ms. Li assumed they were trying to show off, and curled her lip in disdain.
With such poor taste, how dare they come to a jade exchange meeting!
The shop owner did the math and said, "Since you're buying a lot, I'll give you a discount. It'll be eight thousand yuan in total. If you get it done here, it's free!"
"Solve it!" Gu Tingyun swiped his card directly.
The boss took the stones to the side to have them cut open, and the others followed to watch the spectacle, but none of them had much hope.
They start by cutting the rough stones that look like they might yield green. After each cut, the shopkeeper splashes some water on them.
After rinsing off the powder, I looked inside and found there wasn't even a trace of green; it was all grayish-white material, which was worthless!
Finally, only the three most inconspicuous stones remained. The shopkeeper asked, "Want to continue?"
"Continue!" Gu Tingyun nodded and said calmly.
The shop owner sighed, casually sliced one of the pieces, and suddenly his body jolted. His previously nonchalant attitude instantly turned into one of caution. He splashed water on the cut surface and exclaimed, "It's out! It's green!"
"It's top-grade imperial green jadeite!" the shop owner exclaimed.
What?
These words shocked everyone present!
Top-grade imperial green jadeite of the glassy variety—something that can only be found in rough stones from Yunnan and Myanmar—has actually appeared here!
It came from such an inconspicuous stone, and judging from the situation, if such a large piece were all top-grade imperial green jadeite, it would definitely be priceless!
For a moment, Gu Tingyun and his companion became the focus of the entire event.
The two remained calm and unmoved, which only made them seem more unfathomable.
"Impossible! We've only cut open a small part; it might just be a few scraps. Let's cut it all open and see!" Miss Li said, unwilling to give up.
Everyone present was an expert, and they immediately understood what he meant.
That's right. We've only cut off a corner, and we haven't seen the whole picture yet. If it's just a surface layer and the rest is all ordinary jade, then the overall value won't be very high.
