Then she touched several more stones with windows, and sure enough, they all had that feeling, but they weren't exactly the same. Some had a clearer sensation, like a trickle flowing in her blood, while others were particularly elusive, and one of them was so faint that she could hardly feel it at all.
She guessed that it was based on the size and quality of the jade inside; the better the texture and the larger the jade, the more spiritual energy it would naturally possess.
She whispered her discovery to Han Yunqi, who was pleasantly surprised. If her guess was true, then this so-called gambling stone was not gambling for her, but rather something that was laid out in the open for her to choose from!
Of course, it's unrealistic for Tang Xiaoxiao to touch every single stone in the entire market, and they weren't that greedy. Neither of them planned to enter the jewelry market. They already had enough wealth, and there was no need for them to compete with these people who lived on the edge.
It's undeniable that people who gamble on jadeite take great risks, not only financially but also with their lives. If Tang Xiaoxiao were to actually buy up all the jadeite-containing rough stones here, it would be a terrible deed.
The two didn't choose the exposed or semi-exposed materials, as these are generally quite expensive. Some with particularly good openings would attract multiple buyers vying for them, and in the end, bidding might even be required. They didn't want to join the crowd, so they went straight to the bargain hunting area.
The so-called "bargain hunting area" is naturally a collection of very poor-quality rough stones that have been picked over by countless people and are almost impossible to find green. These stones are piled up by rough stone merchants and sold at low prices like clearance sales, specifically to novice tourists like them.
Since a stone isn't expensive, many tourists are willing to spend a few hundred yuan to try their luck.
Of course, usually these hundreds of dollars are just a waste of money.
The two were young and good-looking. Apart from Han Yunqi carrying a backpack to disguise himself, they were empty-handed. They were obviously just tourists who came to join the fun. The raw stone merchants were used to this. When they came to a shop and gathered around a pile of stones marked 100 yuan each, picking and choosing, the owner didn't even glance at them.
The two were happy to relax, and Tang Xiaoxiao touched each of the stones one by one, only to be greatly disappointed.
As expected, these were scraps that had been filtered countless times; they were truly worthless stones, devoid of any spiritual energy.
However, this was within their expectations. They continued walking forward, stopping to examine the scrap heaps they passed. Tang Xiaoxiao actually found two pieces of material with spiritual energy.
Both rough stones were about the size of a football, and she bought them for 300 each. Although they contained spiritual energy, it was very weak. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't care. The store offered free stone-cutting services, so she asked them to be cut open on the spot. One of the stones was cut into a bean-green jadeite the size of an egg. The water content wasn't good, but it was worth a few thousand yuan. However, since she bought it for a lower price, she still made a small profit.
The shop owner was a smooth talker, and he kept praising her good luck and urging her to choose some more high-quality raw stones. Tang Xiaoxiao ignored him and said that she didn't have any money and could only afford a few hundred yuan worth of scrap stones to try her luck.
The shop owner was furious at the customers who were lying through their teeth, but he had to force a smile on his face. Looking at their clothes and demeanor, how could they possibly be a poor person?
The two stones were not bought from the same store. She didn't untie the other stone, but instead ostensibly put it into the backpack Han Yunqi was carrying, but actually put it back into her spatial storage.
