Chapter Thirty-Six: Priceless Treasure



This scene caused the jade market to boil over once again!

"A 'rogue window'! The female boss sold Diao Dalong yet another 'rogue window,' the kind that's practically worthless!"

"The imperial green inside this half-stone is so thin it's like a piece of paper... At this thickness, it can't be used to make any jewelry; it's all ruined!"

"This is insane! They just lost 20 million, and now they've thrown another 2 million into the hole..."

"I was terrified! Luckily, I didn't spend tens of millions to buy this half of a stone, or I would have gone bankrupt!"

"Thank goodness, it's fortunate that Diao Dalong intervened halfway through, otherwise I would have really had to spend tens of millions more to buy this!"

Many jade shop owners, who initially didn't understand why Lin Jicheng would sell to the ruthless Diao Dalong instead of offering higher prices from others, have now come to their senses.

They did it on purpose!

Diao Dalong had just been glaring at everyone in the jade market and almost pulled out a knife. Several bosses around him had been harboring resentment for a long time, and now, seeing all this, they all showed gloating smiles!

Shi Zhuoyan and Yi Songchun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Zhuoyan even laughed loudly!

"Hahahaha... What goes around comes around! The wicked will surely get their just deserts!!"

"Diao Dalong, how much ill-gotten money have you made every day by using those shady scalpers in the market? Today you've finally been tricked! How does it feel to be outsmarted by the very shady scalpers you know best? Hahahaha!!"

The torment and resentment of years of suffering and revenge were swept away. Shi Zhuoyan finally got his revenge and felt extremely happy!

"No...this is impossible!!"

Diao Dalong has completely gone mad:

"This is clearly a piece of imperial jade worth hundreds of millions... there's absolutely no way it's just this little bit!"

Diao Dalong futilely grasped at the rubble that had crumbled to dust on the ground, looking utterly deranged. Lin Jicheng shook her head and sneered. She picked up the remaining half of an imperial green stone from the stall and said to the stone-cutting master:

"Master, could you please polish the stone?"

"ah?"

The stone-cutting master seemed a little confused:

"This... there wasn't much inside the first half of the stone, so the remaining half will probably be the same..."

"Yeah?"

Lin Jicheng revealed a confident smile, picked up his pen, and drew a few more lines on the stone:

"Just follow these points I mentioned and patiently work your way up slowly!"

The stone-cutting machine emitted a deep rumble once again. This time, as per Lin Jicheng's request, the stone-cutting movements were exceptionally slow and gentle. The master craftsman carefully operated the machine, while the surrounding bosses continued to watch with great interest.

Suddenly, the master craftsman's hand paused—

"It's fogging up! Fog is actually coming out of this rock!"

"continue!"

Lin Jicheng's voice remained calm, while Yi Songchun and Shi Zhuoyan held their breath. As the stone's outer layer was peeled away, the vibrant green grew richer and brighter. When the last thin layer of stone was worn through—

A single, flawless, crystal-clear piece of pure imperial green, with an intensely rich and vibrant color, was displayed before everyone without reservation!

This piece of jade is very large, with a uniform color and no cracks in the middle. Not only is the texture delicate, but the color is also incredibly rich. Even without polishing, it can reflect a warm and domineering brilliance. As the light flows, it is like a shining planet!

"..."

"Wow...this is what you call Imperial Green!!"

After that patch of green was fully revealed, the jade market remained silent for a full four or five seconds before erupting in a thunderous gasp of amazement…

"So big, so intact! The water level, the color... Oh no, I can't even estimate its value, it's probably worth billions!"

"My God, this is the first time I've ever seen imperial green jade of this quality in all my decades of business!"

The jade shop owners around were almost going crazy. Although they knew that this half of the imperial green jade did not belong to them, as people who had been in this industry for a long time, they still expressed their sincere admiration!

"So...so you knew all along..."

Yi Songchun's eyes were practically glued to this incredibly beautiful stone. Everything she had witnessed today had completely overturned her previous understanding. In a corner where no one was watching, she muttered softly:

"You...you knew all along that those two or three hundred pieces of seemingly worthless scrap material contained a lot of valuable jade...you also knew that this big rock did indeed contain imperial green jade, you, you..."

Lin Jicheng's lips curled into a smile, but she didn't reply, only letting out a long sigh of relief in her heart.

"System, system, the X-ray vision you gave me is incredibly accurate! It's absolutely perfect!"

"It was the first time I'd ever seen anyone with so much valuable jade in front of Diao Dalong's stall... Seeing Diao Dalong's arrogant demeanor, I thought it would take a lot of effort to buy all of his jade..."

"I never expected it to happen in such a dramatic and effortless way!"

"And this piece of imperial green is another example. Luckily, I have X-ray vision. I could tell at a glance that all the valuable imperial green in this stone was concentrated on the left half, while the right half was all stone. So I cut along the edge, which just happened to leave a window for the 'rogue'. And Diao Dalong fell for it because of his greed!"

[Then, you went along with it and got Diao Dalong to buy that worthless half of a stone, incidentally avenging Shi Zhuoyan, right?]
