"This is really weird!"
Seeing Chen Xiu's indifference to the outcome of the jade gambling, Ding Ling finally gave him these three words as her evaluation.
Whether you're poor or rich, as long as you have a gambling mentality, you'll be incredibly excited when the results are in!
No matter how rich he is, he can't escape this law!
That's why many people find it hard to stop once they get hooked on gambling!
"This guy isn't excited at all! He doesn't even show the slightest bit of excitement..."
Ding Ling realized that she couldn't see through this man at all.
She raised her arm and glanced at the exquisite women's watch on her wrist. "It's still early, and I don't have anything else to do. I want to see if you're just putting on an act!"
Having made up her mind, Ding Ling decided not to leave.
About ten minutes.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd once again.
"It's happened again! It's happened again!"
"Damn, my luck can't be this good, can it?!"
"Another Imperial Green!? Two in a row!? The odds are about the same as winning five million in both lottery tickets!?"
"Hiss hiss hiss—This is terrifying!!"
"Two in a row, that's probably not just luck; there must be some real skill involved!"
"This is incredible! We've struck it rich!!"
Hearing the gasps of amazement from the crowd, Ding Ling couldn't resist putting on her high heels and walking over.
As it turned out, the quality of this piece of rough stone was no worse than the first one, and the size was even about the same.
"Could he really be an expert?"
Even Ding Ling had this suspicion and couldn't help but want to ask Chen Xiu.
However, remembering Chen Xiu's previous indifferent attitude towards her, Ding Ling held back and said, "Let's see the third one first!"
Chen Xiu leaned back in his chair, ignoring the exclamations around him, and closed his eyes to rest.
"What a pretentious guy!"
Ding Ling snorted angrily, then continued to wait.
Soon, the third rough stone was also cut open...
It is still a large imperial green jade stone.
Then, the fourth piece, the fifth piece, the sixth piece, the seventh piece...
As each piece of raw stone was cut open, everyone was so amazed that they were numb to their own gasps of astonishment. Even those spectators who gasped for breath felt a chill run down their spines!
If winning two in a row is luck, winning seven in a row is nothing short of a miracle!
And it's a miracle among miracles!
"These seven rough stones must be worth several hundred million together, right?"
"Several hundred million? You're underestimating Imperial Green! Its square shape and high malleability mean it's worth at least a billion!"
"A billion or more? Holy crap, it really is true that one cut can make you poor, and another can make you rich; one cut can leave you in rags, and another can leave you in a villa!"
"How does it feel to earn over a billion in just over an hour?"
"I don't know how it feels to make over a billion in just over an hour! ... But seeing others make over a billion in just one hour, I'm absolutely envious!"
"Is it too late to become an apprentice now?!"
Suddenly, someone noticed the blind spot, rushed to Chen Xiu, bent their knees, and knelt down with a thud, shouting loudly, "Master, your disciple has come to become your disciple!"
Holy crap!
When everyone saw this, they exclaimed that this guy was a real talent!
"Neuropathy."
Chen Xiu replied with three words, looking disgusted.
At this point, the last piece of raw stone was also cut open.
This rough stone was the one that Ding Ling bought from Chen Xiu at five times the price.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there shouldn't be any surprises!
When the last piece of rough stone was cut open, the crowd was no longer amazed, but instead full of admiration and respect for Chen Xiu's stone gambling skills!
"Help me carry it to the car."
Chen Xiu took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to the shop assistant, saying, "This is for you and the cutting master's expenses."
"Thank you, boss!"
The waiter took the money with both hands, a beaming smile on his face, and exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, you're amazing! I've worked here for seven years and I've never seen anyone as awesome as you. It's so damn satisfying to watch... Boss, you're awesome!! (voice cracks)"
Chen Xiu smiled but didn't say anything.
"Why!"
Ding Ling sighed as she watched the last piece of raw stone being cut open.
Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to choose another rough stone myself.
If it can't be cut out, the only option is to buy a finished jade carving of the God of Longevity from a jade shop and give it to Grandpa.
"..."
Chen Xiu looked at Ding Ling, who looked dejected and pitiful.
Considering her filial piety towards her grandfather, Chen Xiu kindly suggested, "How about I help you choose one?"
"I don't care!"
Unexpectedly, Ding Ling directly refused.
She was naturally quite willful; if Chen Xiu had offered to help her in the first place, she probably would have agreed.
She was now utterly defeated, while Chen Xiu seemed to be an undefeated general, which annoyed her greatly. "I don't need your help; I can find better jade than you!"
"Okay, then I wish you a safe journey."
Watching Ding Ling turn around to select jade, Chen Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
All the large pieces of jadeite in the shop that could yield imperial green have already been selected by the shop owner; only some rough stones with mediocre or very poor quality remain.
Even if a few rough stones could yield imperial green jade, the size of the jade inside would not exceed the size of a baby's fist.
He just said he was helping Ding Ling choose a rough stone, but he was planning to go to another store to choose one.
But since this girl rejected Chen Xiu's kindness, he can't be blamed anymore!
"I hope you don't end up crying from losing money!"
Once all the jade was loaded onto the car, Chen Xiu drove directly away from the antique street.
Back at the villa.
Chen Xiu stood in eight different positions and lightly drew a square pit on the ground with his sword finger.
The pit is about five meters deep and is just the right size to hold the jade.
After burying the eight jade stones underground, Chen Xiu gently flicked his sleeve, and the ground returned to its original state.
Then, he began to draw runes in the air with his fingers.
His fingertips gleamed with a brilliant light as he used his fingers as a brush, spiritual energy as ink, and the void as paper to draw strange and wonderful golden runes.
In less than three minutes, a total of one hundred and eight talismans had been drawn.
Then, Chen Xiu put his hands together and silently recited a spell.
One hundred and eight talismans floated in the air and then stopped in different corners of the villa.
"Spirit Gathering Array, activate!!"
With a loud shout from Chen Xiu, all the talismans merged into the air.
Instantly, spiritual energy rapidly gathered around the villa...
But it's not just about gathering; after the spiritual energy flowed into the villa, the originally sparse and pitiful spiritual energy instantly became dense.
Even the few withered flowers in the villa are visibly blooming again!
In an instant, a gentle breeze blew through the villa, a hundred flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and even the grass and trees became greener, as if one had stepped into a paradise!
