Xu Jiahao looked in the direction of Long Yi's finger. The stones in the pile were all brought there to make up the number. It was obvious at a glance that no good jade could be mined from them.
He readily agreed, "Okay! It's a deal. If you win, I'll give you 100 million plus that broken rock."
Xu Jiahao sneered inwardly. As the young master of the Xu family, he had been exposed to jade since childhood. He was confident that he was more than ten blocks ahead of Long Yi in jade. The other party had no chance of winning at all!
"You set the rules. How do we bet?" Long Yi said calmly.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiahao said confidently:
"Humph! You beat me in the casino completely by luck. Now let's each choose a rough stone of similar size and see whose jadeite is more valuable. I'll choose first!"
The reason why he let himself choose first was because he was afraid that Long Yi would choose the stone he had reserved.
Long Yi shrugged nonchalantly. This guy was incredibly cunning. He smiled and said, "Then you choose first. You'll lose no matter how we bet."
Xu Jiahao pointed to the rough stone he had intended to present to Li Yutong and said, "I've already chosen it. You can choose."
Even my father praised this stone highly. It can be said that there is no raw stone with greater potential than this stone in the entire raw stone trading market. It is more than enough to defeat Long Yi with it.
Long Yi was neither anxious nor impatient. He moved the raw stone that he had just taken a fancy to out of the pile of rocks. It was easy for him to lift the thousand-pound stone.
"I just picked it at random. This is it."
Although Xu Jiahao was secretly amazed at Long Yi's amazing arm strength, this huge rock must have weighed at least a thousand pounds, but Long Yi lifted it up as soon as he said so.
But when he took a closer look at the rough stone, he couldn't stop laughing. "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. When gambling on stones, you have to look at the color, texture and water quality.
You're just garbage at first glance, there's no way you can get jade."
Xu Jiahao felt that this bet was a good one. Gambling on stones is not like gambling on dice. It requires professional knowledge and experience, and luck only plays a small part.
The onlookers also laughed.
"Doesn't this guy have any knowledge about jade? The bigger the jade, the better. This raw jade is obviously a second-rate product that no one wants."
"Even if he has experience gambling on jade, what good does it do? The other party is the young master of the Xu family, and his attainments in jade are at the expert level. This guy can only be slaughtered by others."
Li Yutong couldn't help but worry about Long Yi at this time. Xu Jiahao had the advantage of time and place in this bet, and there was no possibility of losing.
She walked over to Long Yi and said comfortingly, "Brother Yi, it doesn't matter if you lose this bet. The furnace tripod is also a hot potato, so it's better to give it away."
Long Yi shook his head without making any excuses. He walked straight to the piece of jade chosen by Xu Jiahao, placed his palm on the raw stone, and used Xuantian Qi to carefully explore its internal situation.
After all, this piece of jade is favored by so many people. Although the jadeite inside is not the top-grade glass type, it is a slightly inferior ice type.
Previously, Xu Jiahao said that he would not sell it even if someone offered 100 million yuan, but in fact, according to the market price, it could only be sold for more than 10 million yuan.
With a try-it-out attitude, Long Yi activated the Xuantian Atlas, but he didn't expect that the icy jade in the raw stone was slowly being eaten away and transformed into strands of pure and rich true qi in Long Yi's body.
The Xuantian Atlas can absorb the ethereal spiritual energy and evil energy between heaven and earth. This jade can be regarded as the energy accumulated by nature for millions of years, and can naturally be absorbed by Long Yi.
Within a cup of tea, all the jade inside the raw stone turned into pure true energy in Long Yi's body.
The originally lush green icy jadeite inside the entire raw stone turned into a grayish area. Of course, no clues could be seen from the surface of the raw stone.
Seeing Long Yi constantly touching his jade, Xu Jiahao said impatiently, "Have you touched enough? Delaying time won't change the outcome of your inevitable loss.
Have the workers cut the raw stone as soon as possible; I'm anxious to get it back to the Yuan Ding."
A sneer appeared on Long Yi's lips. If you are so anxious to give me money, you will cry later. He added:
"I picked this rough stone from your Xu family's shop. You can tell me the price and I'll pay you."
Xu Jiahao said disdainfully, "This crappy rough stone you chose is worthless. My Xu family doesn't need it, so I'll give it to you!"
Long Yi said firmly, "That won't do. If I find a glass-type, top-grade jadeite, given Young Master Xu's deadbeat nature, he'll probably make up all sorts of excuses to get me back!"
"You two go weigh that rough stone. This kid insists on paying for it." Xu Jiahao waved his hand and directed two staff members to weigh the rough stone.
All these raw stones placed in the pile of rocks are weighed by kilogram, and each kilogram costs 20 yuan.
The total weight of the raw stone was 1,200 kilograms, and Long Yi paid 24,000 yuan to buy it.
The onlookers burst into laughter when they heard that the raw stone chosen by Long Yi was priced at only 24,000.
"Does this idiot have glaucoma? He's gambling with 24,000 yuan worth of raw stones against Young Master Xu's raw stones worth hundreds of millions. Isn't this just giving money to him?"
"There are so many valuable stones lying around, why did you choose such a rubbish?"
"Everyone, go home. This bet is over. Master Xu will definitely win easily!"
"Now let's see what excuses you have to delay time!" Xu Jiahao sneered.
"No need to wait, let's start directly." Long Yi said calmly.
Xu Jiahao directed several workers to bring in professional jade cutting equipment and shouted:
"You guys should open my rough stone first and show this fool what it means to have a discerning eye."
After several workers set up the cutting machine, they methodically selected a suitable cutting surface to ensure the integrity of the top-quality jadeite inside.
"Sizzle... sizzle", as the cut surface continues to deepen, debris on the surface of the original stone flies everywhere.
The saw blade of the cutting machine made a harsh and creepy sound when it rubbed against the raw stone, but at this moment everyone present except Long Yi was very excited.
The reason is simple: he is about to witness the emergence of a top-quality glass-type jadeite, which is extremely tempting for raw stone lovers!
After about ten minutes, the saw blade of the cutting machine had cut off the entire cut surface. The entire cut surface was grayish white and no different from the cut surface of an ordinary stone.
Not to mention the top-quality glass-type jadeite, there is not even a trace of green.
Xu Jiahao swallowed nervously and said anxiously:
"Maybe there's no jade on this cut surface. If I cut directly from the middle this time, I'm sure I'll see green!"
Although the integrity and plasticity of jade will be greatly reduced after being cut in the middle, there is no other way now.
He must extract the jade as soon as possible under the watchful eyes of the public, otherwise the reputation of the Xu family's jade family will be greatly damaged in the eyes of the public.
Long Yi watched the show leisurely and said calmly: "Don't waste your energy. Except for that cut surface with a layer of jade, the rest of the rough stone is waste stone."
