"Master, cut it!"
Bai Xiao’s laugh was heartless, driving some people crazy with annoyance.
Shang Kaiwen held Liu Chuanfeng back, glanced at Bai Xiao, and realized this Bai Xiao was different from what she had imagined. People say your origin limits your insights and development potential, that the first half of one’s life determines the heights one can reach in the second half.
But Bai Xiao was different, appearing uneducated and ostensibly short-sighted, yet somehow he was impressive everywhere he went.
She thought she could persuade Bai Xiao, to have him contribute to the glory of the Shang Family. But clearly, that was unrealistic; Bai Xiao felt no awe for the Shang Family, nor for anyone else for that matter.
The master quickly plugged in the machine, and the chainsaw began its whirring roar, ready to open its bloodthirsty jaw.
This time, people were excited. Compared to that Pig Bristle Moss, this stone’s gambling prospects were a few degrees higher. After all, who could have predicted the appearance of Pig Bristle Moss? Many were secretly relieved they hadn’t impulsively bought that stone, otherwise they would be the ones crying now.
Yet, no one was really optimistic about this stone with its promising green skin. It seemed that today, expectations weren’t aligned with outcomes, and the auction had its fair share of disappointments.
The winners were always the owners of the goods, the auctioneers; they were the ones being manipulated by others.
For a time, lively debates about gambling wins and losses filled the air.
So, the stone gambling master had someone hold the stone tightly and push it towards the blade, causing it to emit a sharp, ear-piercing screech.
Everyone felt a bone-deep soreness as they tensely awaited the moment—until with a clang, the stone split in two and fell onto the saw table!
Everyone gaped, speechless—the one half of the stone was plain white, but the other half was a green as clear as the waters of a cold autumnal lake! It was a miracle unheard of in the gambling stone circle—free of cotton, impurities, smoothly silk-like, extremely lustrous and emitting a radiant glow. It truly reached the state of "round and lustrous like pearls and jade."
It was indeed a miraculous jade, the work of Mother Nature’s own stealthy craftsmanship that opened everyone’s eyes!
"Dragon variety..."
Some couldn’t even finish their sentence.
A full green wasn’t unusual; gambling on stones was all about the thrill of the heartbeat. A full green was surprising but not extraordinary. As Liu Chuanfeng had just said, a full green was at most of the Bean-type due to the stone’s quality and the specific pit it came from.
What is the Dragon Stone-type?
Dragon Stone-type, also known as Shenlong-type, Dragon variety, or the Old Dragon Stone variety. The Dragon Stone-type jade is the pinnacle among all jade types and is a rare treasure seen once in hundreds of years in Myanmar. It is as elusive as a dragon, hence the name "Dragon Stone" jade.
Its color is primarily green or light green, uniform, and without visible color roots.
It is the only kind amongst jade types that feels warm in winter and cool in summer. The Dragon Stone-type jade is filled and brimming with luster, giving the sense that water is almost overflowing, and it has an excellent sheen.
It exhibits a distinct fluorescence, chilly and cold, while the quality of the jade is silky smooth and extremely soft to the touch.
Seeing the flash of green, Baldy couldn’t help but let out a loud "Wow" and rushed over to hug the stone, weeping bitterly.
Catching sight of Liu Chuanfeng’s trembling lips and streaming tears, his eyes wide with shock as if he had just suffered a death in the family, Baldy lifted his tear-streaked face and with a sinister sneer, followed by a long, loud howl: "Baldy’s struck it rich... I’ve finally turned my luck around—"
It was truly an instant wealth windfall!
Bai Xiao stared blankly at the stone, unfamiliar with its variety, but it was obvious that the results of her turning on her special ability a few extra times for safety were clear as day.
