Chapter 151: Chapter 151 All Mine!_1
"This is the raw stone you’ve chosen?" The staff member was also a bit stupefied.
"This is definitely a piece of fine material!" Bai Xiaosheng held it in his hand, examining it closely, extremely satisfied.
Even when the Ice-type Imperial Green was unveiled earlier, he hadn’t praised it this much.
As the staff member took it over, no matter how they looked at it, it seemed to be nothing but a solid rock, the green showing through the skin was pitifully sparse.
Silently, the staff member took it to be cut.
Bai Xiaosheng especially cautioned, "Be careful with that, I’m counting on it to beat Old Sun."
The corner of the staff member’s mouth twitched.
Counting on it to beat Sir Ran?
And... Old Sun?
The staff member sneaked a glance.
It seemed as if Sun Yiran’s face turned as dark as if it could wring out water upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, clearly burning with rage.
That staff member quickly pretended to be deaf and dumb, holding the raw stone that Bai Xiaosheng regarded as a treasure, and rushed towards the workshop station.
The raw stone selected by Sun Yiran had also arrived, and as each was placed on the workbench, it was like the ugly duckling meeting the white swan.
Sir Ran’s raw stone, upon having its skin rubbed for inspection, revealed a swath of extremely vibrant green, but the quantity of "meat" inside was unknown.
However, according to the gambling agreement, it was about unit value, and regardless of quantity, Sir Ran’s odds of winning were great.
"Let’s start with Sir Ran’s piece first."
The skilled worker carefully started to cut Sir Ran’s stone.
Sawing and grinding, dust splattered everywhere.
The crowd gathered around the workbench didn’t mind it at all, each of them fixated with eager anticipation.
Many of them had been sent by jade stone shop owners to wait for news.
"Ice-type, Imperial Green!" The worker paused his hands and exclaimed in disbelief.
Another explosion of color!
Two top-quality materials in one day!
"Ice-type, Imperial Green!"
The people nearby also started to exclaim in amazement.
As the news spread, it swept through the crowd like a storm.
Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou immediately stood up, wishing they could leap out and run over to snatch it for themselves.
They were promptly blocked by other shop owners.
"You guys snatched the good stuff last time; this time, it won’t do!"
"Indeed, it’s our turn this time; how come only you all get to run off with the good deals!"
Other shop owners were up in arms.
Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou were scratching their heads in frustration but knew they couldn’t offend the crowd.
"What do you say, Elder Sun?" Xie Youxin quickly called for reinforcements.
Sun Tianli was all smiles, sitting back and biding his time.
His grandson was assured to win this time; even though this was Yushi City, producing two top-quality materials in one day was a rare occurrence even in his decades of experience!
With the outcome nearly certain, he had to consider how to maximize the profits.
"Gentlemen, no need to argue. Once victory is determined, we shall bid," Sun Tianli said.
At his words, the crowd quieted down.
Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou, looking sour, sat down.
"Ice-type Imperial Green is worth a fortune. I must bid more and win it when the time comes!"
Not just Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou, but other shop owners were also secretly resolved.
Sun Yiran’s jade, after being cut and polished to remove its stone skin, was brought over.
The jade material was flawless, free from foreign colors and cracks. Just one glance was enough to tell it was something special!
"Look, doesn’t this look like an old sage holding a longevity peach? Fine material, a piece of divine craftsmanship!" someone exclaimed.
"This piece, I’m setting my sights on it!" a shop owner declared.
"Well, that depends on whether you have the means!" another rubbed his hands in anticipation.
Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou’s eyes were green with envy, salivating and barely holding back.
They were all so excited, and the onlookers around were taking out their phones to snap pictures.
Under the flash, the green was intoxicating.
"It looks like I’ve won this time!" Sun Yiran looked from afar, his face full of pride as he arrogantly walked over to Bai Xiaosheng.
"Not necessarily," Bai Xiaosheng replied, unflustered, with a smile.
He had great confidence in Red Lotus.
Just now, Sun Yiran took fifteen minutes to choose a stone; Bai Xiaosheng took three minutes.
Although the time seemed short, it nearly burnt out Red Lotus’s brain.
Twenty seconds to pick out Ice-type Imperial Green, what could come out of those three minutes?
Bai Xiaosheng looked towards the workshop table, anticipation secretly growing in his heart.
"Sun Yiran, has he selected an Ice-type Imperial Green?"
On the other side, Han Shuying’s face changed slightly. Although she didn’t understand jade, her own piece had been fiercely contended by two cunning shop owners, as if they were cutting flesh. Coupled with the exclamations around her, she clearly understood that it was a top-quality piece.
And now, Sun Yiran had taken the lead in revealing a premium piece.
For Bai Xiaosheng to win, his piece had to surpass in quality.
But was that possible?
"Brother Bai, I don’t know what stone you’ve selected," Zhang Min said, her expression tense.
"You have no chance now, Ice-type Imperial Green—our ’stone meetings’ sometimes don’t yield one even after three or five tries. This time, two have appeared in succession. Do you think this is cabbage, that you can find it everywhere? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! He can’t wi..." Zhang Xiaoqiu said with a sneer.
Before he could finish his sentence, a piercing scream suddenly came from over by the workshop table.
It was almost heart-wrenching.
"Glass-Type, Glass-Type, Imperial Green!"
The craftsman screamed as if he had seen a ghost, his voice completely changed!
The whole place went silent.
Those who didn’t know were confused. In the VIP seating, a group of bosses wore expressions of terror.
Even Sun Tianli was dumbfounded.
To think a piece of gambling stone could reveal Glass-Type Imperial Green!
This news was enough to shock the whole Antique Jade City, and even the antique circle in Tiannan!
In judging jade, it’s all about the "type," "color," and "water." "Type" refers to the texture, "color" indicates the hue, and "water" is the degree of transparency.
All being Imperial Green with complete saturation, there was no difference in ranking.
But Glass-Type surpasses Ice-Type!
The block of jade selected by Bai Xiaosheng was being processed for a full half an hour as everyone waited silently and honestly.
Sun Yiran’s face turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning, standing there in a daze for half an hour.
A palm-sized, completely integral piece of Glass-Type Imperial Green raw stone was placed on a velvet tray, carefully brought over.
Its color was a deep and pleasing green, without any off-shades, perfectly green, fiercely green, and though the color was intense, it still maintained a delicate beauty and the translucence of glass.
All of a sudden, it attracted everyone’s gaze.
"Good stuff, good stuff!" Xie Youxin kept repeating this phrase, his lips trembling.
It had been a long time since he had seen something so beautiful, small yet seemingly commanding everything.
Just for this palm-sized piece, how much could it be valued at?
Tens of millions, or perhaps several tens of millions?
And that was just the raw material price; if it were crafted into a finished product, it would be priceless!
Thinking of the value, those bosses’ eyes turned green with envy.
"You’ve lost," Bai Xiaosheng said calmly as he walked past Sun Yiran.
"Being overconfident, thinking you’re the only one who can ’feel’ the jade with empty hands; better do some real work in the future," Bai Xiaosheng added without turning back.
Sun Yiran staggered, his face pale as he nearly fell over.
Bai Xiaosheng, before the watching crowd, walked over, picked up the velvet, and wrapped the Glass-Type Imperial Green, holding it close like a miser, as if afraid someone would take another look, muttering, "Mine!"
Afterward, he waved over Han Shuying, pointing to the piece belonging to Sun Yiran.
"Package this up for me!"
This is mine, too!
