C11 Stone Gambling Assembly
The annual stone gambling event was a rare occasion in Jiang City.
Every year's stone gambling event would produce a large number of rich people, and many people would instantly become paupers.
There was a saying in the stone gambling circle, "one cut is poor, one blade is rich, one blade is sackcloth". However, many people could not resist the temptation of suddenly becoming rich overnight and crazily threw themselves into the stone gambling army.
Wang Chuan was a VIP in the rock gambling. People who could become VIP were either people with high status or rich masters. People like Wang Chuan, who had both high status and money, were naturally VIP amongst VIP guests.
Under Wang Chuan's lead, Zhou Yi naturally enjoyed the treatment of a VIP.
The treatment of honored guests was that many precious stone materials would be given priority for distinguished guests to choose from.
The VIP area of the stone gambling house was in a warehouse. This warehouse was thousands of square meters and was filled with stones. These stones had been appraised by experts and were the most likely to open jade.
Zhou Yi shuttled between the rocks of various sizes, and occasionally touched the rocks with his hands.
Zhou Yi was not just randomly touching a rock. He was sensing the spiritual energy in the rock. The better the stone, the more spiritual energy there was. Only cultivators would be able to sense this.
Zhou Yi had searched the entire warehouse and the stone had almost been touched everywhere. Other than the two pieces of stone, the other pieces of stone did not catch Zhou Yi's eye at all.
Looking at the prices of the two barely passable stones, it was too expensive. Even if he opened it, he wouldn't be able to earn much money. Zhou Yi wouldn't do this kind of business where he couldn't earn money, so he gave up decisively.
Wang Chuan followed behind Zhou Yi, curiously looking at Zhou Yi's actions. Although he did not know what he was doing, he knew that Zhou Yi was definitely not a simple person.
When Zhou Yi arrived, he saw that there was a common stone area outside. Since he didn't get anything from the VIP area, he decided to take a look.
He turned around and said to Wang Chuan, "Chairman Wang, take your time, I'm going to the toilet."
With that, Zhou Yi quickly walked out of the VIP area.
Zhou Yi came to the normal stone area. The normal stone area was made up of stone-like stalls. At a glance, there weren't even a hundred stone-like stalls, but it was about the same.
Zhou Yi was carefully searching in the Stone District. Just as he was about to finish his search in the Stone District, a rock caught Zhou Yi's attention.
The surface of the stone was dark and inconspicuous when placed in the pile of stones. However, Li Liang could feel the spirit energy fluctuation of the jade as he walked past it.
Zhou Yi was happy and reached out his hand to touch the stone. When his hand touched the surface of the stone, a warm jadestone spirit energy entered his body through his arm.
"This is it." Zhou Yi muttered to himself.
Zhou Yi stood up and walked in front of the boss. He pointed at the piece of black rock and asked, "Boss, how much is that rock?"
The boss looked at the rock, then looked at Zhou Yi and said, "That rock is my personal treasure. It's the best one in my pile, no more, 100,000 yuan."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He knew that this was the boss's trick to raise the price. What would the boss think if he knew that there was a good piece of jade hidden in the stone? He probably wanted to die.
Hearing the boss's price, Zhou Yi frowned: "Boss, you don't have to be like that. You dare to say 100,000 for a rock like you. I'll say a price, if you can accept it, I'll take it immediately. If you can't, then forget it."
"Seeing that little brother is also a real person, fine, I will listen to your price." The boss said.
Zhou Yi raised a finger and said, "10,000."
When the boss heard the price, he shook his head like a rattle. He kept saying, "It's too cheap. Not for sale, not for sale."
Hearing the owner's rejection, Zhou Yi immediately left without saying anything.
The boss panicked and quickly said, "Wait for brother! Today, we're destined to be together. Just treat it as me making a friend and I'll sell it to you."
Zhou Yi was secretly happy, but he didn't show it on his face, "That's right. Just wait, I'll give you the money."
With that, Zhou Yi ran towards the VIP area.
Zhou Yi ran in front of Wang Chuan and said, "Chairman Wang, lend me 10,000 yuan."
"Is that enough?" Wang Chuan asked.
"Enough, I'll return it to you later." Zhou Yi answered.
Wang Chuan got his assistant to give Zhou Yi 10,000 yuan. After getting the money, Zhou Yi ran towards the ordinary stone materials area.
Wang Chuan was curious and quickly followed him.
Zhou Yi ran in front of the stall owner, handed the money to him and said, "Nuo, the money, I took the stone."
The boss received the money with a smile. He nodded and said, "Take it, take it."
The boss thought, this time I have made a huge profit. I spent 500 yuan to buy this stone from someone else, but now I have earned more than 9000 yuan. I have to make a fortune here.
Zhou Yi picked up the stone and walked towards the VIP area. He saw Wang Chuan in front of him.
Wang Chuan looked at the stone in Zhou Yi's arms, turned around and said to the expert following him, "How about you take a look at the stone Mr. Zhou chose?"
This expert was around fifty years old and was a famous expert in appraising stones from Jiang City. In his eyes, the number of good stones that could be identified were innumerable.
He took the stone in Zhou Yi's arms and took the light torch that was specially used for appraising the stone. He looked at it again with his left eye, then finally shook his head and said, "This stone is just an ordinary stone, I think Mr. Zhou made a mistake this time."
Zhou Yi smiled as he took the stone and said, "We'll know when we open it."
With that, Zhou Yi walked towards the stone cutting area.
Seeing Zhou Yi's confident expression, Wang Chuan felt that Zhou Yi wasn't talking for nothing and also quickly followed him.
Once the cutting started, everyone stared unblinkingly at the cutting machine, slowly splitting the black stone into two.
When the stone was opened, the surrounding crowd let out a regretful cry.
"Well, young man, I'm right, isn't it? This is just an ordinary stone." The expert said.
"That's right, young man. I don't think there's a need to continue driving this stone. Just treat it as spending money to buy a lesson."
"Look, this rock is already split in half, but we can't see any color at all. It's most likely just a normal rock, I think that young man was mistaken."
"… …"
Zhou Yi didn't answer. He smiled at the master who operated the cutting machine and said, "Master, continue cutting."
The cutter refixed the stone and turned on the cutter.
Very quickly, the stone was split into two. The moment the stone was opened, a green light shone into everyone's eyes.
When someone saw the stone clearly, they shouted loudly: "That's the Emperor Green Jadeite!"
Everyone who gambled on the stones knew what it meant to have a Emperor Green Jadeite. A fist-sized Emperor Green Jadeite was worth several million, not to mention this one was as big as a child's head.
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. When they finally woke up from their shock, the entire arena had suddenly turned into a fervent one.
"I'll pay 10 million, little brother, sell it to me."
"I'll pay fifteen million and sell it to you, little brother."
"I'll pay 20 million and sell it to me."
In the end, the price was raised to 40 million.
If it was an ordinary person who heard such a high price, they would have been tempted. However, Zhou Yi ignored him and rushed out of the crowd with a rock in his arms.
After that, Zhou Yi went to Wang Chuan to borrow a few pieces of stone. Although it was no longer a top quality jade, its total value was more than two million.
