Bai Tingxue glanced at Wei Yuanxing, then at Lin Xufei. After a moment's hesitation, he walked towards Lin Xufei. Since Su Jinyue had just pointed at two stones, he might as well choose one of them. Perhaps Su Jinyue had chosen two stones specifically for him. From the moment he first met Su Jinyue, he had felt that she was a very extraordinary person.
"Xu Fei, have you made your choice?" Bai Tingxue walked over to Lin Xu Fei and squatted down. He looked at the two stones Su Jin Yue had just chosen and found that they were not much different from the stones he had chosen before. Anyway, he couldn't tell the difference.
"I choose this one." Lin Xufei patted a stone next to him that was more than half a person's height.
"Then I'll choose this one." Bai Tingxue pointed to the remaining stones.
After they made their selection, they called the stall owner over. Wei Yuanxing pointed at the stones they had chosen and asked, "Boss, how much do these stones cost?"
The stall owner took a look and said, "Big ones are three hundred, medium ones are two hundred, small ones are one hundred, and the smallest one is fifty." He was also from a sect and had bought a batch of rough stones because he found gambling on stones quite interesting, so he set up a stall here. The stalls of various sects were selling things like magic tools, elixirs, and talismans, which seemed really boring.
Besides being used to make jewelry, good jade can also be made into amulets, containers for elixirs, and other materials, so all major sects need it. However, until now, only one piece of jade has been found, and the quality of the jade is just average.
After paying the money to the boss, Wei Yuanxing and his companions moved the stones they had selected to the stone cutting machine.
"Boss, how do I cut this?" Wei Yuanxing asked the stall owner. This was his first time gambling on stones, so naturally he had no experience.
The stall owner pointed at the plump old man who was cutting stone and said, "Just watch how he cuts it, and cut it the same way." He was not a stone seller and knew only a little about stone cutting.
Wei Yuanxing nodded and looked at the slightly plump old man who was cutting stone. Seeing that he was roughly using the stonecutter to cut the stone into pieces, he picked up the stonecutter and started cutting. Although he had never used a stonecutter before, he was familiar with machinery and quickly mastered the method of cutting stone.
With the sound of "squeak!", stone foam splashed.
Su Jinyue shook her head speechlessly. Fortunately, the jade contained in Wei Yuanxing's rough material was of ordinary quality, otherwise it would have been like a rat eating barley and ruining it!
He turned to look at Bai Tingxue and saw that he was studying the stone cutter in his hand. He smiled and looked at Lin Xufei, who was watching a companion who came with him cutting stone.
"What kind of jade is in this piece?" Zhan Yihan whispered in Su Jinyue's ear. The stone he and Jinyue had chosen was the smallest among their group. But he was certain the jade inside was of good quality.
"Imperial green," Su Jinyue whispered into Zhan Yihan's ear. She examined all the stones. Very few contained jadeite, let alone high-quality jadeite. Besides her piece, only Bai Tingxue's contained top-quality jadeite. But she wasn't planning on cutting hers open. The fact that their group had managed to carve four jadeite stones was already quite impressive; she didn't need to join in the fun.
More than ten minutes later, the stone was cut into two halves by Wei Yuanxing. "Huh? Is this jade?" Wei Yuanxing was a little surprised when he saw a hint of green in the middle of the stone he cut.
The stall owner walked forward and looked at the cut stone on the ground, "It's a lavender jadeite, the quality is pretty good." This young man is quite lucky.
"So how do I cut it next?" Wei Yuanxing frowned. Without the jade, he could cut it casually. But with the jade, he couldn't do it the same way as before, or else the jade would be damaged.
"Young man, let me help you cut it." Hearing that there was jadeite, the slightly plump old man who was cutting the stone turned around.
"Can you do it?" Wei Yuanxing asked doubtfully. He saw that the other person's stone-cutting skills were not much better than his.
"Young man, don't underestimate me. When I was young, I specialized in helping people cut stones." The slightly plump old man put down the stonecutter in his hand and walked over. When he was young, he often helped others cut stones with his father. Because of his unparalleled strength, he was noticed by the sect and became a disciple.
Wei Yuanxing thought about it and said, "Okay then." He didn't know how to cut it anyway, so leaving it to the old man would save him the trouble.
The old man took the stone cutter from Wei Yuanxing's hand and started cutting. With stone chips flying, the stone was soon cut in half again.
Wei Yuanxing quickly stretched his head to take a look and found a hint of green peeking through the incision. He gave the slightly plump old man a thumbs-up and said, "Great!"
The slightly plump old man smiled and continued cutting the stone.
Bai Tingxue watched the slightly plump old man cutting the stone for a while, then picked up the stone cutter and started cutting. He had no experience, so he chose to start cutting from the edge, so that even if there was jade, the damage would not be too serious.
Bai Tingxue's stone was not big, just slightly larger than a basketball. It took him a short while to cut the stone in half. As the stone was cut in half, a touch of pure emerald green came into his eyes.
"Look! That guy also cut out jade."
"As soon as you see the color, you know the texture is good."
"This kind of jade is perfect for amulets. I wonder if they'll sell it." Seeing the color of the stone Bai Tingxue had opened, the onlookers were excited. They had been watching for a long time. Including this one, they had only opened three stones containing jade, and this one was the best.
Bai Tingxue was also a little surprised. He looked up at Su Jinyue. Sure enough, she didn't choose randomly, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? Yuanxing opened the jadeite, and he also happened to open the jadeite.
Su Jinyue curled her lips. This Bai Tingxue was indeed shrewd.
Lin Xufei walked up to Bai Tingxue, squatted down, and looked at the stone Bai Tingxue had cut out. "This is obviously a top-grade jadeite. You are so lucky." He didn't know how to cut stones, but he had seen a lot of jadeite jewelry, so he could naturally tell the quality of jadeite at a glance.
"Perhaps your stone also contains jade," Bai Tingxue said meaningfully. After all, they were all chosen by the same person. If both his and Yuanxing's stones contained jade, it was impossible that Xufei's stone didn't have any.
"Then I'll cut it open and take a look." Lin Xufei was not a stupid man. After Bai Tingxue's reminder, he immediately figured out the connection.
Lin Xufei walked over to the stone he had chosen and picked up an unmanned stone cutter to start cutting it. He also chose the same method as Bai Tingxue, starting from the edge, but his stone was larger, so it was not as easy to cut as Bai Tingxue.
