"Yes! I've decided!"
Ye Tianyu nodded.
"puff!"
Many people at the scene secretly laughed.
They were all experts who knew their stuff. Based on their past experience in the jade gambling market, any rough stone with a dark and unattractive patina would be worthless after being cut open. Even if there was jade inside, it would be of poor quality and have a pitifully low value.
When they saw that Ye Tianyu had chosen such a broken stone, they couldn't help but chuckle, even calling him a fool.
Therefore, it was concluded that Ye Tianyu was bound to lose, and it was a foregone conclusion that Fang Xueqing would give everyone a feast for the eyes.
Lin Bing smiled even more brightly as she looked at Ye Tianyu.
"Tsk tsk, I thought you really had some special skills in appraising antiques."
"Judging from your choice of this broken black stone, your first two rounds of jade gambling were really just luck."
"Let me tell you, nobody wants this kind of dark, unremarkable stone at the jade gambling market."
You lost!
As he spoke, he picked up his clothes from the ground and put them on.
Ye Tianyu responded calmly.
"The stone hasn't even been cut yet, so what makes you so sure I've lost?"
"I'm also telling you that the clothes you put on will soon have to be taken off again, along with what's underneath."
"Giggle!"
Lin Bing laughed so hard her waist trembled: "Go ahead and show off, go ahead and brag, I don't care, I'll wait and see you get slapped in the face!"
"Okay, keep laughing!"
Ye Tianyu mimicked her tone: "I don't care, but you won't be laughing for long!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Duan Sihai's face: "Master Duan, tell me, what's the price?"
"hehe!"
Duan Sihai chuckled twice: "Since you're sure you want this rough stone, I'll play the good guy this time!"
"Just give me a thousand yuan."
Ye Tianyu was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard, and asked again, "A thousand yuan? Really?"
"My word is as good as gold!"
Duan Sihai raised his voice: "With so many people here as witnesses, it's a thousand yuan!"
"Okay, thank you!"
"However, one thousand is too cheap, I'll give you ten thousand!"
As Ye Tianyu spoke, he readily transferred 10,000 yuan to Yin Sihai.
"Ha ha!"
"Ye Tianyu, you're being so generous because you made a fortune in the first two rounds, right?"
Duan Sihai laughed loudly: "Alright, since you're so generous, I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it!"
Lin Bing, who was already dressed, looked disdainful and snorted.
"You're really good at pretending. I'll be impressed if you can still pretend after the stone is cut open!"
Ye Tianyu ignored her and directly asked the stone cutter to cut the stone.
He was very nervous just now, but after selecting this dark, unremarkable rough stone, he calmed down.
The Qilin Treasure Mirror describes a raw stone with a glossy black patina. If it is heavy enough and produces a clear, melodious sound, then it is highly likely to contain a rare and precious ruby.
After the first two rounds of practice, the method of identifying raw stones using the Qilin Treasure Mirror has proven to be accurate.
Therefore, he was full of confidence at that moment.
The ear-piercing sound of cutting rang out, and the cutter had already begun to cut the stone.
The atmosphere at the scene was much better than in the first two rounds of stone cutting by both sides.
No one will be nervous.
Lin Hao and his sister, along with all the spectators, believed that this dark, uncut stone was definitely a broken rock, and that Ye Tianyu was doomed to lose. Therefore, they all wore expressions of contempt and ridicule.
Ye Tianyu, however, remained calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.
Seeing his confident demeanor, Fang Xueqing also showed a calm expression.
Because she believed in the Qilin Treasure Mirror, a divine book in the world of jade.
Now that Ye Tianyu has learned the skill of identifying raw stones, she has nothing to worry about. The fact that she found valuable raw stones in the first two rounds proves this.
As everyone waited casually, the cutting sound abruptly stopped, and the stone-cutting was complete.
This time, no one was as impatient as in the previous two rounds to ask the cutter to turn over the rough stone.
Ye Tianyu was not in a hurry and waited for the cutter to show the cut stone to everyone.
However, the situation was somewhat unusual.
The cutter stood motionless in front of the cutting machine, his whole body seemingly petrified, his facial muscles frozen.
Duan Sihai frowned, growing impatient, and shouted sternly, "Curator, what are you doing? Hurry up and show everyone the cut rough stone!"
"Hehe! Master Duan, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Lin Bing laughed so hard her slender waist trembled: "It's obvious that the cutter has cut out a broken stone, that's why he looks like this!"
"If I were to unearth a treasure more valuable than my imperial jadeite, I would have jumped for joy!"
The crowd of onlookers who were gambling on jade stones also joined in the commotion.
"Yes, that makes sense."
"Would the cutter have this expression if they found a rare gemstone?"
"Yes! You're right!"
Duan Sihai nodded and turned his gaze to Ye Tianyu: "You lost. I kindly reminded you that you can't find any treasures in a dark, unpolished stone, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're reaping what you sowed."
"It's just a pity for President Fang. Because of you, he has to strip naked in public."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Bing looked at Fang Xueqing with a ferocious and smug smile.
"Mr. Fang, did you hear that? Ye Tianyu lost. Aren't you going to take off your clothes right now?"
Everyone present immediately became excited, raising their hands and cheering.
"Mr. Fang, hurry up and get going! We're dying to see you!"
"Quiet down!"
The cutter suddenly shouted.
"This is so unexpected, it's a miracle!"
"I've been cutting jade for over a decade, and this is the first time I've unearthed a pigeon's blood ruby..."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the commotion ceased, and everyone looked bewildered.
"Curator, what did you say?"
"Pigeon blood ruby?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
The cutter was incredibly excited: "This dark, rough stone has yielded a rare and exceptional pigeon blood ruby!"
"Look!"
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted the two halves of the raw stone.
"Boom!"
Like a thunderclap.
When everyone heard that the dark, rough stone Ye Tianyu had chosen had yielded a rare pigeon-blood ruby, they were all instantly terrified.
Lin Hao and his sister could hardly believe their ears. Their expressions changed drastically, and like everyone else, they quickly looked at the two halves of the raw stone that the cutter was holding up.
It was as red as blood, vibrant and luscious, reflecting a crimson glow under the sunlight.
It is indeed a rare and exceptional pigeon blood ruby.
"boom!"
The brother and sister stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Duan Sihai was also dumbfounded. He never dreamed that what he thought was a broken stone would actually yield a rare and exquisite item.
What amazing treasure appraisal skills does Ye Tianyu possess?
The first two rounds yielded valuable jadeite, which was already impressive, but the final round revealed a pigeon blood ruby that shocked the jade industry.
That's incredible.
The audience felt like they'd been slapped in the face.
Just a moment ago they were laughing at Ye Tianyu for being a fool.
In that instant, they realized they were the real fools.
When Ye Tianyu was selecting the rough stone, he predicted from the description in the Qilin Treasure Appraisal Book that this dark rough stone would yield a ruby.
However, he had never worked in the jade industry and didn't know what pigeon blood ruby meant.
Seeing everyone's incredulous expressions, they could guess that it was absolutely top-notch.
He looked at Fang Xueqing and whispered, "Wife, are pigeon blood rubies very valuable?"
