This is a stone about the size of a cantaloupe, with a dark-colored skin that even has a waxy sheen.
It looks ordinary on the surface, and probably no one is optimistic about it.
But only Zhou Yang knew that there was more to it than met the eye!
The bald, burly man burst into laughter when he saw that he had chosen such a "lump of dirt".
"Kid, are you still half asleep or are you blind? This piece of junk, I bet you're planning to gamble your entire underwear to me!"
Zhou Yang walked back carrying the stone, his expression unchanged.
"Enough with the nonsense. Let's cut it open and see what it's made of! We'll see who wins and who loses then!"
"Hmph! Stubborn as a mule!"
The bald, burly man curled his lip in disdain and urged the stone-cutting master, "Master, cut this one for me first! Make this kid's face swell up!"
The stone-cutting master nodded and fixed the raw stone onto the stone-cutting machine.
The grinding wheel spun rapidly, producing a harsh grinding sound.
All eyes were on the rock, eager to see how this farce would end.
"Snap!"
With a single cut, the stone skin peeled off.
"Fog is coming out! It's white fog!"
Someone with sharp eyes shouted.
The bald, burly man perked up and stared intently at the cut surface.
The stone cutter continued his work, and soon, a beautiful piece of jadeite with translucent white and emerald green bands was revealed.
"It's a golden silk seed!"
"My God, there's actually a golden thread jadeite hidden inside! This is a high-grade jadeite!"
"Look at the quality, it's at least icy jade! Icy golden silk jade! We're going to strike it rich, this big one is going to be a hit!"
The stone-cutting master was also very experienced.
He quickly cut, rubbed, and polished, then carefully sanded it a few more times.
A piece of jade, as thick as a baby's forearm, with a smooth, icy texture and crisscrossing emerald green ribbons inside, is revealed!
The vibrant emerald green shimmered in the sunlight, exuding an air of nobility!
The owner of Hongyunfang became excited again, his voice even trembling slightly: "Ice jade! It's definitely ice jade with golden threads!"
"Such a large piece, with a delicate texture and lively gold threads, this...this is worth at least ten million! Ten million!"
"Whoosh—!"
The crowd erupted in cheers once again!
"Ten million! That bald guy got incredibly lucky!"
"Who says it isn't! Today is really weird, how come everyone keeps finding high-grade jadeite, but I don't have that kind of luck?"
"That kid's in trouble now. His broken stone from Houjiang is lucky if it yields even a bean-sized seed, how can it compare to this ice-type golden silk seed?"
The bald, burly man, with his nose in the air, looked at Zhou Yang sideways and laughed arrogantly.
"Kid, did you see that? That's real power! Ten million! What do you have to offer me?"
"Hurry up and bring over your broken stone too, let me see how many coins it's worth! Hahaha!"
He could almost see Zhou Yang kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, obediently offering up his jade.
Damn, I'm having the best luck today!
Not only can they get back what they just got beaten up, but they can also make a fortune!
Xu Yao and Gu Huaiyue clenched their fists nervously, their palms sweating profusely.
Zhou Yang's Houjiang stone does indeed look too ordinary.
Zhou Yang remained calm. He handed the Houjiang raw stone in his arms to the stone-cutting master and smiled faintly.
"Master, please be careful not to damage the treasure underneath."
"Pfft!"
The bald, burly man laughed even louder, "Treasure? Kid, I think you won't give up until you're completely cornered!"
The stone-cutting master took Zhou Yang's stone, but he was somewhat unimpressed.
The surface of this Houjiang jade is too ordinary, and the chances of it yielding a high-quality piece are extremely slim.
He shook his head and, following Zhou Yang's instructions, began wiping the windows from an inconspicuous corner.
The grinding wheel rubs gently, and stone powder falls down in a flurry.
Suddenly, the stone-cutting master exclaimed "Eh!" and stopped what he was doing.
Through that small window, a vibrant, luscious purple hue peeked out!
"Purple...purple?!"
"Is it a violet? Does Houjiang also produce violets?"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Before anyone could react, the stone-cutting master continued to widen the window.
Beside that purple hue, a vibrant, lush emerald green suddenly leaped out!
"Green! It's green! There's green next to purple!"
"My God! This...this is...Spring Ribbon Rainbow?!"
Even a seasoned player who knew his stuff was trembling.
Purple represents "spring" and green represents "color".
Jadeite with spring colors is rare to begin with, but if the texture and clarity are also excellent, it becomes priceless!
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, somewhat surprised.
He had his eye on this stone, but he never expected it to give him such a big surprise—it was a spring-colored stone!
The stone-cutting master's hands began to tremble. He took a deep breath and carefully continued cutting the stone.
As the stone skin peeled away little by little, the purple and green hues became more and more intense and covered a wider area!
What's even more breathtaking is that the texture of this jade is incredibly fine and translucent; under the light, it's as if you can see the radiance flowing inside!
"Glassy type! This is definitely glassy type!"
The owner of Hongyunfang almost jumped up, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"The spring colors are vibrant, the green is fresh and bright, and the texture is so clear that it's even glassy! Such a perfect spring-colored glassy jadeite, I... I've never seen more than a few pieces in my entire life!"
"boom--!"
The noise at the scene was several times more intense than when Zhou Yang opened the Imperial Green!
If imperial green is the king of jadeite, then top-grade spring-colored jadeite is like a queen.
