Feng Qing and his group came to a shop. As soon as they entered the shop, they heard a lot of noise coming from inside, including the sound of machines cutting stones, laughter, and occasional cheers...
Going out the back door of the shop, there is a yard of more than 100 square meters, which is filled with raw jade stones. Many people are using magnifying glasses and flashlights to examine the raw jade stones on the ground.
"There are so many people!" Xuanyuan Ye's eyes flashed with excitement. He had played gambling on stones several times before, but this time was the largest scale yet. There are constant conflicts on the border now, and it is not easy for jadeite raw stones to enter China. Unless you have a close relationship with the leaders in Myanmar, it is possible to import jadeite raw stones from there.
"I can't wait." Ling Yefan walked to a pile of raw stones with a smile, took out a flashlight, and shone it on a piece of raw stone the size of a football.
Feng Qing glanced at the raw stones around her, and a faint curve appeared on her red lips. There are quite a few jadeites among these raw stones, and some of them have very strong spiritual energy.
"Have you ever played gambling on stones?" Lu Xuanye was not very interested in gambling on stones, but he had a friend who liked it very much. He also heard some knowledge about gambling on stones from his friends.
"No, but I've always had good luck." Feng Qing walked to a piece of raw stone, squatted down, put her hand on the raw stone, and the spiritual energy on the raw stone was continuously absorbed into her body through her palm.
"Do you like this one?" Lu Xuanye walked over to Feng Qing and squatted down. "There is a deep crack on this rough stone. Even if the jadeite inside is green, there may be cracks. Why don't you take a look at the others?"
"I think this one is good." Feng Qing looked at the price tag above. She could afford it right now.
"Then I'll buy it for you." Lu Xuanye said as he was about to go find the boss. As long as she likes it.
"No, I'll buy it myself." Feng Qing held Lu Xuanye. She and he were just friends and didn't want to get too involved, especially with money.
"You don't have to be so polite to me." Lu Xuanye felt uncomfortable, as if he was holding a breath. He really didn't want her to be so clear with him.
Feng Qing smiled, picked up the raw stone on the ground, and walked towards the boss. This piece of raw stone is not big, but it is not light, weighing more than 100 kilograms. For her, it was still very light.
Lu Xuanye frowned, took two steps forward, and took the raw stone from Feng Qing's hand, "You don't need me to pay, I can help you move it."
"Are you angry?" Feng Qing felt the low pressure coming from Lu Xuanye.
"No." Lu Xuanye's voice was muffled. He didn't know why he was angry, but he was very angry.
Feng Qing rolled her eyes speechlessly. Why was he angry for no reason? She didn't provoke him.
Lu Xuanye carried the raw stone to the boss and said, "I want this raw stone."
"Okay! Three hundred." The boss said with a smile.
Feng Qing took out the money and handed it to the boss, "Can you do stone cutting here?"
"Sure, you just need to move the raw stones there." The boss pointed to a place not far away where a group of people were gathered and the sound of machines could be heard coming from inside.
Lu Xuanye picked up the raw stone and strode towards there.
Feng Qing hurriedly followed.
In the crowd, an uncle was cutting a stone. In front of him was a rough stone weighing almost half a ton. It had been cut in the middle and you could see a white area inside. It was obvious that the rough stone had been cut in half.
The uncle looked very unhappy, but he did not give up and continued to cut the right half of the raw stone.
"Lao Gao, this rough stone is obviously a waste. It won't produce any green. You'd better not waste your efforts on it."
"There's no sign of green in the middle, so it would be a waste of effort to cut any further."
"You'd better give up. There is no hope for this rough stone." Everyone advised.
Lao Gao remained unmoved. He wiped the sweat off his face and continued with his actions. He spent all his savings to buy this rough stone. If it collapses, he will have nothing.
Feng Qing's gaze fell on the piece of raw stone that Lao Gao was cutting. There was a strong spiritual energy in the left corner of the raw stone. This spiritual energy was even stronger than the raw stone she had just chosen, which showed that the quality of the jade inside was very high.
Lao Gao turned off the stone cutter and saw another patch of white. He was stunned. He shook his dizzy head vigorously, took a breath, and continued cutting stone.
The machine sound rang out again.
"Why is this Lao Gao so stubborn? It's no use cutting it like this."
"Lao Gao, stop cutting. You are not only wasting your time, but also our time. Everyone is waiting to cut the stone."
"If you can't get green, don't waste your energy."
Lao Gao turned a deaf ear to everyone's advice and stared at the raw stone in front of him. He also knew that the raw stone was cut, but he really didn't want to accept it. Such a large piece of raw stone doesn't even show a bit of green.
Time passed minute by minute. Lao Gao stopped the machine and looked again. It was still white.
He slumped on the ground helplessly, his face ashen and his eyes filled with despair.
"Uncle, if you cut here again, there may still be hope."
Lao Gao heard a pleasant voice. He looked up and saw a dark and fat girl. He swallowed bitterly and said, "There is no hope. I know that."
He stood up shakily and walked out of the crowd with heavy steps. Now that his money is gone, he is too ashamed to go back and face his wife and children.
"You are not afraid of death, so are you afraid of being cut again?" Feng Qing felt the deathly aura emanating from Lao Gao.
Lao Gao stopped and turned to look at Feng Qing, "Thank you, little girl!"
Feng Qing smiled faintly, like the morning sun. She is a cultivator. If she saves one more person, she will gain one more cause and effect when she overcomes the tribulation in the future, and it will be smoother for her to overcome the tribulation.
Looking at Feng Qing's smile, the depression in Lao Gao's heart suddenly dissipated a little. He looked at the piece of raw stone that he had cut, his eyes slowly became firm, he walked to the raw stone, picked up the stone cutter on the ground, and cut at the place where Feng Qing had pointed before. The little girl was right, he shouldn't give up like that.
The machine sounded again.
However, no one present had much hope for this.
"Old Gao is so stupid, listening to a little girl, ah!"
"What's the use of cutting it again? It still won't change the result."
"If this rough stone can yield emerald, I will eat it."
Lao Gao watched the stone cutter in his hand slowly sink, and his heart became more and more nervous. He heard a click and looked carefully. He saw a touch of green. His hands trembled with excitement, "Green!"
