After a while, the rough jade on Guh Siqing’s side was completely revealed. The piece of jade was roughly the size of a soccer ball and polished very quickly because the stone skin was thin. A splash of clear water was poured on it, and a vibrant green light bursting with life cascaded out, dazzling everyone’s eyes.
The jade had a delicate and smooth texture, was transparent, and without a single flaw. The bright green was rich and shining, making one feel as if they could smell the scent of vitality.
It was a piece of High Ice Imperial Green!
Looking at the jade in front of them, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim. A piece of High Ice Imperial Green this size could sell for at least fifty million!
"Second Miss Guh truly is a master of stone gambling, I didn’t expect the first piece to be High Ice Species!"
"Yes, yes! Look at this texture, it’s simply top quality! Though not as good as Glass-type, High Ice Species is still a rare jade!"
"Ah... it seems Miss An is undoubtedly doomed to lose!"
There was a murmur of quiet whispers beneath the Stone-Cutting Table, and Guh Siqing gave a proud smile as she heard them, casting a disdainful glance at An Yiqing, full of provocation.
Standing closest to the Stone-Cutting Table, Ma Tianci was somewhat worried as well, but seeing An Yiqing’s calm demeanor, he gradually felt at ease.
While everyone was discussing, a grating friction sound started to arise. All eyes turned towards Zhang Yuksheng’s direction, where several pieces of discarded tailings were scattered on the table. Zhang Yuksheng was rapidly using a frosted wheel to grind, and layers of lime were gradually forming.
Two minutes later, the grinding was complete. Zhang Yuksheng splashed water on it, and the layers of lime hiding on the rough stone were instantly washed away clean.
In that instant, a captivating green light poured forth, regal and commanding!
The jade before them was transparent, nearly see-through, it seemed to be a spirit from nature, its slender body perfectly natural, dignified and noble! That crystalline, enchanting green seemed to be a layer of gauze draped over the spirit’s body, irresistibly tempting one to touch it, to embrace it.
Old Pit Glass-type Imperial Green!
It was actually a piece of Old Pit Glass-type Imperial Green!
All the people present were stunned, holding their breaths with wide eyes, incredulously staring at this exquisite piece of jade from the human realm!
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!
The size of this piece of Old Pit Glass-type Imperial Green was large; although Zhang Yuksheng had previously cut off a lot of waste, the jade that was revealed was still an entire half larger than Guh Siqing’s piece!
Actually, for Ma Tianci and Zhang Yuksheng, it was still somewhat acceptable, as they both had witnessed An Yiqing unveil a huge piece of Imperial Green in the rough jade market before, so they were able to quickly accept this piece. But for the others, it was a bit harder to take in, all of them secretly clicked their tongues, wondering since when had Imperial Green become as common as cabbages, that one could easily find a piece in any rough stone?
The crowd under the Stone-Cutting Table kept exclaiming in surprise, while on the table, Guh Siqing had a stiff face, looking somewhat ugly. She couldn’t imagine that An Yiqing’s first piece of rough stone would give her such a strong challenge! Nevertheless, even now, Guh Siqing still felt that An Yiqing had just been luckier, her pride and arrogance preventing her from admitting that she was outclassed!
The first rough stones from both the An and Guh sides had been revealed, one Glass-type Imperial Green and one High Ice Imperial Green, their value clearly different without any contention!
Unwillingly, Guh Siqing glanced at An Yiqing and ordered Ah Chen to bring over the second rough stone.
"An Yiqing! It’s just my carelessness that I lost the first round, but there are still four more rounds! Let’s continue!" declared Guh Siqing with her neck stiff, raising her chin coldly.
