Chapter 349: Chapter 246: Yellow Jade

We’ve talked about this before, jade, jade, green is supreme. In most people’s minds, jade is green, but green is actually just "cui," and "fei" represents the other colors of jade.

Red Jade, Blue Jade, and Purple Jade are among them, and are relatively famous and beloved colors. Moreover, red has been a favorite color in China since ancient times, vibrant and striking, hence the term "China red."

As for Blue Jade, it has become popular in recent years, mainly due to the open-mindedness of contemporary youth. They are not limited to the traditional colors and instead favor the pure and beautiful Blue Jade that symbolizes the ocean and the sky. Thus, Blue Jade has also become mainstream in the jade category. However!

There’s also Yellow Jade.

Although the concept had existed for a while, this was Sui Yi’s first encounter with Yellow Jade. Based on her prior knowledge, she had not estimated its market value very high, but the actual situation seemed different than expected.

"It’s Yellow Jade!"

"Oh my, Yellow Jade has become so rare over the years. If there is any, it’s usually pale yellow, never this perfect shade of yellow!"

The jewelers present were more enthusiastic than Sui Yi had expected, and she was slightly surprised, but she heard nearby Jiang Yun and others seem interested as well.

Hmm? These two, although they have significant purchasing power for jade, seldom get truly moved. Their previous purchases were mainly casual and for fun. But it seemed they were quite emotionally stirred by this Yellow Jade.

Perhaps noticing that Sui Yi’s look of astonishment was too obvious, Jiang Yun approached her with Li Yong, who couldn’t resist coming over for a closer look, and said with a smile, "Miss, this piece of jade has indeed touched our old hearts. Yellow Jade is especially beloved by us Hong Kong residents, especially the businessmen who would love nothing more than to take a piece home with them."

Upon reflection, Sui Yi realized why.

The word "yellow" sounds like "emperor," and that alone made many people who have been under feudal rule for a long time and still hold onto the historical concept of a dynasty particularly fond of Yellow Jade. Especially the older generation and businessmen who have a special affection for it, for reasons such as laying down the foundation of family fortune or as heirlooms to bless future generations. If a beloved grandchild is born, having a piece of Yellow Jade for protection is considered highly auspicious.

Therefore, if Yellow Jade appears, most tycoons are willing to spend a fortune to bring a piece home. Although more Yellow Jade exists compared to Purple or Red Jade, top-quality pieces are rare, unlike Blue Jade, which is always in scarce supply. Sui Yi’s appearance with Yellow Jade undoubtedly stirred the excitement of these businessmen who seldom encountered Yellow Jade.

Pan Ling’s face looked extremely troubled.

"Ice Type Yellow Jade... it’s indeed rare, although not as bright as glass type..." A merchant, staring at a raw stone from a distance while stroking his beard, lamented, causing Boss Niu to glare and snort, "If it were glass type bright yellow, we wouldn’t even have a chance at buying it, its value would skyrocket into the billions... Besides, with the situation in Myanmar..." He suddenly stopped talking, secretly cursing himself. Damn, wasn’t he just increasing the value of this rough stone, setting himself up for trouble later on?

Little did he know that even if he hadn’t spoken, would others not know? Would Sui Yi not know?

An irked Boss Niu pursed his lips and said to Sui Yi, "Miss, you wouldn’t also not sell this Yellow Jade, would you? If you truly don’t sell, Old Niu might really bang his head to death on this machine today..."

Oh my god, talk about extreme measures!

But it was really a plight for jewelers at the public trading platform. They had almost nothing to show from their efforts, and what little they had managed to buy hadn’t turned up any exciting prospects, except here Pan Ling, the renowned Gambling Spirit, and the lucky Gong Jiu had unveiled valuable jades but stubbornly refused to sell!

They’re not selling! Then, Blood Fei has nothing to do with me!

So everyone’s eyes were fixed on Sui Yi, considering that this young woman of seemingly noble background had a rare and highly valuable piece of Yellow Jade, she might just take it home...

"Open it all first," Sui Yi said, glancing at the people only once before instructing the master carver.

"Ai, alright!"

After revealing three pieces of jade, the master was visibly proud and his movements became smoother. The second and third cuts followed the edge of the jade flesh closely, quickly revealing the true appearance of the Yellow Jade.

The shape was irregular, looking like a watery yellow stone, roughly the size of a winter melon that could be embraced with both hands.

"It must weigh around forty or fifty pounds!"
