Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Brother, you really did it!

"Are you sure this raw stone will produce jade?"

As Su Yifei squatted down, he patted the raw stone and asked.

In Su Yifei’s opinion, even if this raw stone turned out to be Bean-Type Jade, it would still prove that Fang Bai had some discernment.

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you!"

Fang Bai repeated his usual response.

"Fine, let’s see how lucky you are!"

Su Yifei, wealthy and bold, wouldn’t mind even if the raw stone Fang Bai chose turned out to be a worthless rock, it would only mean a loss of three thousand eight hundred yuan, which was nothing to him.

After picking out a few more raw stones, Su Yifei and Qin Shan went to the Stone-Solving Yard once again to have them cut open on the spot.

Qin Shan wasn’t very lucky this time; the best outcome for his raw stones was merely Glutinous Jade Stone, and since he had paid a high price for these stones, he lost hundreds of thousands in this one go.

"Haha, Old Qin, I didn’t expect even a jade tycoon like you could make mistakes!"

Seeing the bitter look on Qin Shan’s face, Su Yifei laughed joyously at his misfortune.

Qin Shan sighed and said, "I thought these raw stones would turn out to be good jade! Alas... to err is human, to stumble is commonplace!"

It didn’t take long for Su Yifei to wear a bitter expression as well.

The stones he had personally selected carefully, just as Fang Bai had said, were all worthless, and his luck was even worse than last time.

"Haha, spending tens of thousands on some worthless stones! Young Su, this is no longer a matter of poor judgment, you’re outright blind!"

Now it was Qin Shan’s turn to mock Su Yifei.

"Wait, there’s one more raw stone that hasn’t been cut! This one was chosen by Fang Bai; maybe he’s luckier than I am and it will turn out to be good jade!"

Su Yifei looked at the last remaining raw stone, unwilling to give up, and said.

Although he said this, he truly had no confidence left.

Fang Bai stood leisurely by his side, a faint smile on his face.

Su Yifei might have been lacking confidence, but Fang Bai was full of it.

Not only had he sensed a faint Essence Energy within the raw stone, but he had also used his Divine Sense to probe its interior, discovering that it not only contained jade, but the quality was also quite good; it should be Ice-Type Jade.

This raw stone, once cut open, should be able to make up for Su Yifei’s losses for the day.

The Stone-Solving Master, an experienced hand in the business, shook his head dismissively after examining the stone selected by Fang Bai, finding it no different from an ordinary rock, and not worth thirty-eight yuan, let alone three thousand eight hundred.

However, it was his duty, so he started to cut the stone carefully nonetheless.

As the raw stone, the size of a soccer ball, had two-thirds of it cut away with no sign of jade yet, Su Yifei once again showed his disappointment, and the onlookers lost interest, ready to disperse.

"Do we continue cutting?"

The Stone-Solving Master looked up to ask Su Yifei, according to his experience, there was no point in cutting the raw stone any further.

"Cut!"

Without waiting for Su Yifei to speak up, Fang Bai slowly walked to the stone-cutting machine, took a pen from the side, and scribbled several lines on the stone that had already been mostly cut, then said to the Stone-Solving Master, "Follow the lines I’ve drawn to cut! Be careful, Master, don’t damage the jade inside."

"Brother, aren’t you refusing to give up until the bitter end?"

The Stone-Solving Master shook his head, smiled disdainfully, and bowed his head to continue cutting.

"Let it go, brother. There’s no point in cutting any more!"

Su Yifei said with a bitter smile, "It seems my luck is even worse than it was two days ago! That’s it, I’m done for today. I’ll come back tomorrow and try my luck again!"

"It’s jade! We’ve got jade! Ice-Type Jade! It’s Ice-Type Jade!"

Just then, someone in the crowd around Fang Bai’s chosen raw stone suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to the latest cut surface.

The crowd looked intently, and indeed, they found a shadow of jade on the new cut surface of the raw stone.

Many of the onlookers around were seasoned jade gambling veterans with a wealth of experience, and they knew at a glance that Ice-Type Jade had been revealed.

Qin Shan hurried forward, wiped the surface of the jade, then took out a flashlight to carefully inspect it. After a long while, he exhaled a breath, saying, "It’s Ice-Type Jade... Top quality... the only question is how big this piece of jade is! If it’s the size of a fist, it could be worth five hundred thousand!"

"Damn, bro, you’re really something!"

Su Yifei slapped Fang Bai’s shoulder excitedly, his mood of disappointment and dejection completely swept away.

"Master, keep cutting!"

Fang Bai saw the Stone-Solving Master staring at him in a daze and urged with a smile.

The Stone-Solving Master had not expected to have misjudged, his old face blushing as he continued to cut along the line Fang Bai had marked on the raw stone with extra care.

It wasn’t long before a piece of top-quality Ice-Type Jade, slightly larger than an adult man’s fist, appeared before everyone.

According to Qin Shan, this jade stone could entirely be made into a pair of bracelets and several Jade Pendants, which would be worth even more than his initial estimate.

"Bro, it looks like you have better luck than me! Come on, accompany me to pick a few more! This time I’ll listen to you entirely!"

Overcome with excitement, Su Yifei pulled on Fang Bai and, along with Qin Shan, returned to the area where the raw stones were stacked to start picking again.

"Bro, this raw stone is priced at one hundred and eighty-eight thousand, what do you think?"

"Just a piece of waste!"

"How about this one priced at three hundred and sixty thousand? I think it looks good..."

"You’ll lose at least half your money!"

"This one doesn’t look good, priced at only six thousand six..."

"You could make a profit of three to five hundred thousand on this one, no problem!"

"Such a big piece of raw stone only priced at ninety-nine thousand? According to my experience... it’s very likely to be a waste stone!"

"You might be in for a small fortune!"

...

Su Yifei gained some confidence in Fang Bai and decided to listen to him this time, picking out more than twenty raw stones in one go and spending nearly ten million yuan.

Qin Shan also spent over five million yuan to pick out more than a dozen raw stones, appearing very confident.

Half an hour later, Su Yifei, Qin Shan, and Fang Bai returned to the Stone-Solving Yard to solve the stones on site.

Qin Shan was indeed a great figure in the jade industry. Among the dozens of raw stones he picked, several turned out to be fine Ice-Type Jade. After estimating, he figured he could make a profit of three to five million yuan and was visibly overjoyed.

"Brother, I made a tidy profit, I’ll treat you to a meal later! Hehe, Su little brother, it’s your turn now!"

After Qin Shan’s picked stones were solved, he, with a flushed face full of joy, addressed Su Yifei.

Su Yifei, seeing his triumphant look, said disdainfully, "What’s so great about a few pieces of Ice-Type Jade? Who knows, maybe my raw stones will produce Glass-Type Jade."

Qin Shan laughed and said, "Glass-Type Jade isn’t that easy to come by! At this jade gambling festival, it seems only one piece of blue-tinged Glass-Type Jade has appeared, right? I heard it was bought on the spot by a jade merchant for ten million! Too bad I wasn’t there, otherwise I would have done whatever it takes to snatch it! Hehe, Glass-Type Jade, that’s really rare these days!"

"Today, Fang Bai’s luck is good, maybe he’ll come across a piece of Imperial Green Jade Glass-Type!"

"Imperial Green? You might as well keep dreaming!"

"Who can be sure about things in this world?"

Su Yifei and Qin Shan chatted while eagerly watching the Stone-Solving Master work.

As it turned out, Fang Bai’s luck was not just good today, but explosively good, making people wonder if he had grown a pair of x-ray eyes that could see right into the heart of the raw stones.
