After this, he also had his connections in Luo City.

Similarly, Hu Zhuoqing strode towards the Stone King’s booth.

As soon as he entered, Hu Zhuoqing set his sights on several stone materials on display by the Stone King, among which were two pieces placed there by Qin Yu!

Qin Yu was one step ahead of Hu Zhuoqing and grabbed a piece of high ice-type material, weighing about ten pounds, which should yield about six pounds of high ice-type jadeite.

Just as Qin Yu’s other hand was about to grab another piece of Stone King, Hu Zhuoqing, with quick reflexes, snatched the other piece in his hand.

Qin Yu felt secretly frustrated.

This Hu Zhuoqing had some moves, having selected a piece of glass-type material with his first pick!

However, what Hu Zhuoqing didn’t know was that there were two pieces of jade flesh in the stone material he had chosen.

One was of the common bean green type, the other was of the glass type.

The glass type wasn’t large, about half a pound in weight.

Although it was only half a pound of glass-type jade flesh, the words “glass type” were valuable in themselves!

In the hierarchy of jadeite’s quality, from the highest it goes like this.

Glass type, ice type, water type, glutinous type, bean green type, dry green type.

Glass type ranks first, belonging to the most precious jadeite!

Even if just half a pound, it was worth more than six pounds of high ice-type!

Seeing Qin Yu’s vexed expression, Hu Zhuoqing’s mood was very pleasant.

He grinned and said, “President Qin, don’t be too greedy.

You have to leave some good materials for us, right?”

Although vexed, Qin Yu retorted with a sneer, “Do you really think you have chosen a good material?

In my eyes, it’s nothing but waste!

That’s your level, Mr.

Hu.”

Hu Zhuoqing didn’t take it to heart, and said indifferently, “President Qin, psychological warfare doesn’t work on me.

This stone of mine has the ‘shed sand skin.’ What is shed sand skin?

As the name implies, the sand grains on the surface of the stone material have shed off on their own, revealing the flesh.

Such a skin is likely to yield ice or glass type high-quality materials.

I conservatively estimate that this piece will yield ice-type material.”

Qin Yu of course knew that Hu Zhuoqing wouldn’t be misled so easily, and he hadn’t planned on misleading him that easily either.

His intention was to create a misdirection for Hu Zhuoqing, so that he would send the wrong signals to the Stone Gambling Master during cutting, successfully avoiding the glass-type jade flesh!

Even Qin Yu had to look carefully to realize that this piece of stone material had more to it, being formed by the compression of three different stones during tectonic activity!

Qin Yu said with a smile, “Master Hu does have a point.

This indeed is a piece of shed sand skin material, which does make it easy to yield high-quality jadeite.

However, as far as I know, stones that can yield green usually show certain characteristics on their crust, like this piece of mine.

It has a green band that wraps around the original stone, and moreover, there’s pineflower greenery on the band.

But what about your stone?

There’s no band, just a plain green!

Remember, as the Stone King of Luo City once said, ‘Better to buy a line, than a whole plain.'”

Hu Zhuoqing nodded, “President Qin is right; the Stone King did say that.

However, he also said that when a large fracture appears on a green stone, the value usually spikes!

Because such a fracture is caused by tectonic activity, and similarly, a whole plain of green is also formed by being squeezed out by tectonic activity!”

Qin Yu feigned an epiphany, expressing his dismay, “Ah!

What a pity!

Such high-quality stone material was taken first by Master Hu!

Master Hu, be careful when you cut the stone later.

Open a very small window and gently wipe it, careful not to damage the jade flesh.”
