Xu Jiahao looked a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to embarrass Long Yi and make him look bad, but who would have thought that his arm strength was so amazing that he stole the limelight and won cheers from the audience.
He hurriedly diverted everyone's attention and shouted, "What are you still dawdling about? Start a new round!"
After Xu Jiahao took a look at the spherical rough stone that Long Yi had chosen, he said with disdain, "Gambling on rough stones doesn't just rely on luck; vision and experience are both essential. Could this spherical rough stone you cut into turn out to be a basketball?"
The onlookers burst into laughter.
"This young man is hilarious. He always finds a new way to find the right stone. This is the first time I've seen him choose a spherical rough stone!"
"It seems that luck is not on his side this time. It would be a miracle if this round stone could produce emerald."
"Haha, even if it can produce jade, what can it do? This time, what Young Master Xu took out is the Tianlong rough stone, which is a god-like existence in the gambling stone world!"
Xu Jiahao was eager to win the game and save face, so he immediately ordered his stone-cutting masters to cut the Tianlong raw stone according to his own requirements.
A teeth-grinding cutting sound was heard from the cutting machine, and several experienced stone-cutting masters cut a window out of the Tianlong raw stone according to a pre-set plan.
Everyone looked at the grayish-white cut surface in astonishment. They saw that the window cut out only contained a pitifully thin sliver of jadeite, and the rest was just ordinary stone.
Xu Jiahao pretended to be calm and explained to everyone, "This is to be expected. Generally, the best quality jadeite is concentrated in the center. Now cut it in two parts from two-thirds, and jadeite will definitely come out!"
The worker continued to divide the originally complete Tianlong stone into three parts according to Xu Jiahao's requirements, and the four cut surfaces were still pale.
Seeing this scene, people who know the business know that this piece of Tianlong raw stone is basically useless, and it is impossible to continue to mine jade.
"Oh my god! What kind of vision does this Xu family have? They didn't even get a thing out of the Tianlong Stone they treasured as a treasure!"
"With this level of quality, they still call themselves a jade family. I think everyone should stop buying raw stones from them in the future, otherwise they will lose a lot of money."
"Alas, the jade industry in the capital may have to be reshuffled in the future."
While everyone was discussing, Xu Jiahao still did not give up and asked the workers to cut the Tianlong raw stone into eight pieces, but there was still no trace of green inside.
Xu Jiahao stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.
This is a rough stone that everyone in the family is optimistic about. We had originally planned to send it to a rough stone exhibition to be opened, but in the end, only jadeite worth four or five thousand was produced from the surface of the rough stone?
Long Yi ignored the desperate Xu Jiahao and turned to the staff, saying, "Go ahead and cut my stone."
Because they had just cut out a jadeite worth a fortune, the stone-cutting masters did not dare to neglect Long Yi this time and patiently asked him about the cutting method of the raw stone.
"Just cut the raw stone in half. Stop when I tell you to." Long Yi ordered.
As debris flew around, the onlookers discovered that there was no green on the cut surface of the raw stone, and it was no different from an ordinary stone.
Xu Jiahao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the scene in front of him. It seemed that Long Yi couldn't get any jade at all. However, he could still win this round with the jade on the surface of the Tianlong raw stone, and then he could kill Long Yi in one blow in the next round.
Long Yi released the Xuantian Qi and carefully explored the situation inside the raw stone. However, as he got closer to the center, he actually felt a burning sensation in his consciousness, but it was still within the tolerable range.
As the cutting machine went deeper, the raw stone, which was about to be cut in half, still did not show any green, but instead had a hint of red on the teeth.
Suddenly, the cutting machine could not go down any further, and the air was filled with the smell of molten iron.
"Mr. Long, maybe the cutting machine has been working for too long, and the saw teeth have melted a little due to the high temperature generated by friction." The stone-cutting master said to Long Yi embarrassedly.
"Pull it out. Just cut it to this extent."
Long Yi frowned as he looked at the melted saw teeth. Logically speaking, the high temperature caused by friction was not enough to melt the iron. At this time, combined with the burning sensation in his sea of consciousness, he had a bold guess in his mind.
Fire Spirit Pearl!
According to the records in Xuantian Tulu, the Fire Spirit Pearl was made from the bones of the Fire God after Nuwa killed him in ancient times. It is said to be able to burn everything in the world and has an unexpected attack effect on spiritual consciousness.
Long Yi couldn't wait to circulate the internal energy in his body, and then slapped the raw stone with a powerful palm.
It was earth-shattering in an instant!
The spherical raw stone cracked instantly, and a bead emitting a dazzling red light shone brightly. The surrounding air even rose by several degrees, and the heat wave was oppressive.
"What's going on? I thought nothing would come out, but it turned out to be red jadeite. This young man's luck is too good!"
"No, this isn't Hong Fei. Didn't you feel the sudden heat around us?"
"It's not some magical weapon, is it? But it's definitely more valuable than the pitiful jade that the Xu family's young master has."
Long Yi quickly endured the burning pain and grabbed the Fire Spirit Pearl, putting it into the Sumeru Mustard Seed Space, but to outsiders it looked like he was just stuffing the pearl into his pocket.
Xu Jiahao's originally balanced mentality instantly became distorted again. He never thought that Long Yi could actually get the red jadeite at the last moment.
He had already lost all his money and had lost raw stones worth hundreds of millions, while Long Yi had made a fortune with an investment of less than 30,000 yuan. This was simply God playing a trick on him.
He had already agreed on a best-of-three game, and now that Long Yi had won two games in a row, the bet was settled.
Long Yi smiled and took two steps forward, jokingly saying, "Young Master Xu, the bet has been decided, and now it's time to cash in."
"I..."
Xu Jiahao collapsed to the ground in despair. He no longer had the arrogance of a favored child of heaven. Not only did he lose two top-quality raw stones, but now he had to pay Long Yi's 100 million bet. He felt dizzy.
At this moment, the crowd at the entrance of the market spontaneously dispersed to form a path, as if to welcome an extremely important person.
"Master Taixiao is here, everyone make way for him!"
"A good dog doesn't block the road! Which blind bastard is setting up a stall on the street? Get out of my way!"
As the sun sets, an old man with a Taoist-like demeanor, wearing long gray hair and a gray Taoist robe, the whisk in his hand flutters in the wind, and the peach wood sword at his waist makes a clattering sound.
The people on both sides of the road even felt that they were standing before a banished immortal walking down from the sky, and deep in their hearts they had a strong desire to bow down in worship.
When Xu Jiahao saw the old Taoist, he cried with joy. The gloom that had been accumulating for a long time was swept away. He quickly stood up and went forward to curry favor with Taoist Taixiao.
