My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 438 - 438 438 Standing on Invincible Ground

438: Chapter 438: Standing on Invincible Ground 438: Chapter 438: Standing on Invincible Ground Su Xuan would not be modest, since this Zhang Tiancheng was so confident, Su Xuan could certainly guess that Zhang Tiancheng must have his own methods.

Quietly using his Spirit Sensing technique, Su Xuan glanced over the dozens of stones in the million yuan area and already understood which one contained jade.

To put it plainly, Su Xuan was not certain that the stone definitely contained jade; however, the more Spiritual Energy a stone contained, the more certain Su Xuan was that the jade inside was of exceptional quality.

The dozen or so pieces of jade in Azure Dragon’s shopping cart were meticulously selected by Su Xuan, all containing substantial Spiritual Energy, indicating that they certainly contained stones.

Su Xuan needed Spiritual Energy for cultivation, and discovering Spiritual Energy within these stones, leading to the discovery of jade, would allow him to minimize the costs of his cultivation practice.

With a glance, Fang Jun spotted the most Spiritual Energy-rich stone among the dozens.

The stone with the strongest concentration of Spiritual Energy was priced at a million yuan, only the size of a fist, and its most obvious feature was a significant crack running through it.

“I want number 218!”

The beautiful attendant responsible for the million yuan area quickly retrieved stone number 218.

Seeing that Su Xuan had chosen stone number 218, one could say that in the million yuan area of the gambling stone mall, the least promising stone was indeed number 218, most notably for the crack that nearly split it in two.

“What’s this guy thinking?

Isn’t this a clear loss?

Stone number 218 is just a piece of waste rock!”

“Can’t say for sure, you can never estimate the value of a stone until it’s been cut open!”

Onlookers were whispering to each other.

When Zhang Tiancheng saw Su Xuan choose the most unremarkable stone first, he was secretly pleased.

This stone number 218, the mall had already appraised, indeed contained jade, but even if jade was cut from it, it wouldn’t be too valuable!

“Attendant, I want stone number 999!”

Upon hearing Zhang Tiancheng’s voice, the beautiful attendant quickly retrieved stone number 999.

After that, Su Xuan also selected stones number 542 and 438!

Zhang Tiancheng’s choices for the three stones were stone number 999, 646, and 318!

The stone selection phase was complete, moving to the next phase.

Su Xuan had chosen stones 218, 542, and 438!

Zhang Tiancheng’s choices were stone number 999, 646, and 318!

The first stage, the stone selection phase, was finished; the second stage was the stone cutting phase, which was also the last stage of the competition, with each person having selected three stones.

For each stone cut, it was a match between Su Xuan and Zhang Tiancheng.

Best two out of three, that was the idea.

Zhang Tiancheng looked at his three stones, revealing a satisfied expression.

The gambling stone mall was his family’s business.

He was confident that he would win this match and secure the ten million yuan.

Perhaps, his father would even praise him and successfully use this competition to promote their gambling stone mall.

This two-birds-with-one-stone tactic made Zhang Tiancheng laugh involuntarily as he thought about it.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan, with a calm face, was equally confident about his selection of three stones.

Before long, two of the most professional Stone Cutting Masters arrived in the million yuan area to cut the stones selected by Su Xuan and Zhang Tiancheng.

Cutting stones at the same time would double the pace of the competition because Zhang Tiancheng was very eager to see what Su Xuan looked like losing ten million yuan.

Losing money was a small matter; the real issue was a matter of a man’s dignity.

It was well-known that the person who failed had to bark like a dog in the mall.

“Master, help me cut stone number 218!” said Su Xuan, and the beautiful attendant handed stone number 218 to the stone-cutter.

The Stone Cutting Master also understood that these two were gambling on stones, so he took the task very seriously.

The stone was slowly unveiled under the cutting machine.

Meanwhile, stone number 999 was the first stone Zhang Tiancheng chose to cut.

As time passed, after about fifteen minutes, the master in charge of cutting stone number 999 exclaimed with surprise.

“Congratulations, it’s an emerald, and it seems to be of considerable size, worth about eight million yuan!”

Professional Stone Cutting Masters tend to have deep research on jade and also have unique insights regarding the price of jade, making them both experts in cutting stones and in appraising treasures.

Hearing what the master said, Zhang Tiancheng burst into laughter, his face brimming with sheer joy; even the surrounding people started to discuss vigorously.

Many admired Zhang Tiancheng’s character and were impressed, while some of the Old Drivers who frequented the gambling stone mall recognized Zhang Tiancheng as the son of the mall owner.

Now that the stone Zhang Tiancheng had chosen had produced a precious jade, those who knew his identity expressed disdain!

They believed that the reason Zhang Tiancheng was able to cut such a valuable treasure was solely due to his identity.

Some couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Su Xuan.

“Kid, see that?

A single stone is worth over eight million.

You better admit defeat early and save yourself the embarrassment of barking like a dog in the mall!”

Upon revealing the emerald, Zhang Tiancheng was as proud as he could be, speaking with a tone that seemed to look down on everyone, high and mighty!

Su Xuan furrowed his brows, looking at the smug Zhang Tiancheng.

“It’s just an emerald.

Is there any need to make such a fuss?” Su Xuan spread his hands and looked at the insufferable Zhang Tiancheng with disdain.

Showing off isn’t done like that, Su Xuan thought with a smile.

Later, when he began to show off, it would be with an unstoppable style!

A few minutes later, the Stone Cutting Master responsible for Su Xuan’s stone also spoke with a hint of shock in his voice.

“We have a find, likely a valuable Emperor Blood Jade.

Although it’s small in size, its worth is over twenty million.

And this value will only increase, never decrease—there’s huge potential for appreciation!”

The Stone Cutting Master spoke earnestly, his voice echoing everywhere, prompting those around to involuntarily suck in a breath.

“Holy moly, Emperor Blood Jade!

Such a rare jade emerging from a worthless stone, who would have thought!”

“This Emperor Blood Jade leaves that emerald in the dust by more than a dozen streets!”

The number of onlookers grew, and whispers and debates filled the air.

Zhang Tiancheng’s smile had not yet faded when it was blown away by this bombshell.

“How is this possible?

How could a worthless stone be Emperor Blood Jade!” Zhang Tiancheng murmured to himself.

Su Xuan laughed and looked at the Emperor Blood Jade that the Stone Cutting Master had just revealed.

He could feel the rich Spiritual Energy emanating from it.

“Zhang Tiancheng, sorry to say, but the Emperor Blood Jade sweeps your emerald off the board.

So you see, you’ve already lost the first round!” Su Xuan said, folding his arms and looking coldly at a frustrated Zhang Tiancheng.

“Why the rush?

It’s the best two out of three, and you’ve only won one round.

Don’t get cocky in front of me!” Zhang Tiancheng said indifferently.

Su Xuan won the first stone, securing himself a victory point!

With the second stone, the two of them began the cutting process again.

Su Xuan chose stone number 542, while Zhang Tiancheng went for stone number 646!

Surrounding them was silence as everyone watched the Stone Cutting Master slowly transform the stone into a cut gem.

Ten minutes later, Wang, who was cutting Su Xuan’s stone, once again excitedly exclaimed.

“Lantian Jade, who would have guessed that there would still be Lantian Jade!” Wang held up the jade in his hand, excitedly announcing to all while showing off the Lantian Jade.

The people around were filled with envy and jealousy, amazed at Su Xuan’s luck.

The first stone produced an Emperor Blood Jade worth over twenty million!

The second stone revealed Lantian Jade, also valued at over ten million!

At this moment, Zhang Tiancheng began to sense that something was amiss, slowly realizing that he no longer had control over how things were unfolding.

Su Xuan, with folded hands and a calm expression, watched, and Azure Dragon, who rarely spoke, was also staring wide-eyed in astonishment.

He had believed that Su Xuan wouldn’t lose, but he hadn’t expected Su Xuan’s eye for jade to be so exceptionally accurate, with both stones turned out to be rare ancient jades.

Azure Dragon deeply admired Su Xuan’s abilities, while Lin Dongliang, the Old Driver, felt embarrassed and slowly understood that it was Su Xuan who was the real Gambling Stone Old Driver.

This time, Zhang Tiancheng had no choice but to pin his final hopes on the second stone.

Indeed, the Stone Cutting Master spoke again.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this stone has revealed flawless jade, valued at around one million!”

Hearing the master’s words, Zhang Tiancheng broke out in a cold sweat, his mind going blank.

Zhang Tiancheng was completely dumbfounded, losing all affection for the world; Su Xuan’s stones turned out to be more valuable than his on both occasions.

Whether it was the Emperor Blood Jade worth over twenty million or the last Lantian Jade valued over ten million, the price simply obliterated Zhang Tiancheng’s first stone worth only a few million.

“Zhang Tiancheng, there’s no need to cut the third stone, is there?

I’ve already won two rounds in a row.

You’ve lost!” Su Xuan’s calm voice echoed in Zhang Tiancheng’s ears, grating and piercing to him.

More and more onlookers gathered, looking forward to the spectacle, while Azure Dragon wore a serious expression mixed with unprecedented joy.

Two stones worth over thirty million, that’s more than triple what they would have earned raiding a casino!

Azure Dragon glanced subconsciously at the dozen or so stones in his cart, his breathing growing rapid.

He envisioned uncountable amounts of money piling up inside the cart.

Azure Dragon finally understood why Su Xuan was so eager to open Fang Shiyu’s letter.

With such a knack for stone gambling, one could indeed make waves in the Jade Industry.
