C20 One Slash in Hell
After Master Li received Boss Wang's instructions, he turned on the stone grinder again, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then steadily approached the small window he had just opened, cutting down the traces.
He was also very cautious. As long as he cut out good jade, not only would he receive a high reward, he would also be able to improve his reputation in the industry.
Boss Wang was in the business of jade wool, he was used to seeing a blade of heaven and a blade of hell, but this was the first time he was actually experiencing it himself. Boss Wang was in the business of jade wool, he was used to seeing a blade of heaven and a blade of hell, but this was the first time he actually witnessed a blade of heaven and a blade of hell.
Chu Xiongfeng, Boss Wang, and the surrounding spectators all held their breath and stared at the rock. Whether it rose or fell, they would know for sure.
Following Master Wang's action, the flocculent crystal underneath the jade gradually revealed itself. Master Wang saw it the most clearly. He stopped what he was doing and did not dare to cut any further.
"Sigh …" A chorus of sighs rose as the surrounding crowd shook their heads.
"It collapsed." At the same time, he was a little glad that Boss Wang did not sell the stone to him. Although he had opened a few mines in the past and earned a lot of money, now that the government's policy was on him, the small kilns were closed and the coal business was not easy to do.
Boss Wang's face instantly turned pale. He subconsciously looked at the nouveau riche, but the nouveau riche immediately turned his head away. Boss Wang let out a sigh. He had always been a bystander, but now he finally experienced the hellish feeling of a saber.
Chu Xianfeng also saw the scene inside the stone. He touched his heart and felt as if he was riding a roller coaster. He looked at Ye Tao, who was still calm and indifferent, as if he had already expected this.
"Go ahead." Boss Wang waved his hand without any strength. He knew that with this rock's current performance, no one would take it unless another green color was carved out from the bottom.
The stone grinder struck down again, and more and more floc crystals were exposed to the air. Even when Master Li had split the rock into two, there was no longer any trace of green.
Master Li could not believe it. He once again cut the stone into smaller pieces, but he did not find anything. In the end, all he could do was stop.
The last half a man's worth of wool only contained a thin piece of jade about the size of his palm. It looked like he could only take out a few pendants, which would only be worth a few tens of thousands of yuan. For the price of five hundred thousand yuan, this material was definitely not worth it.
"Brother Ye, you have good eyesight. I admire you." Although he was proud, he was not a person who couldn't afford to lose. Now that the results were out, he openly admitted it.
"No no, I'm just guessing randomly, please forgive me, Boss Wang." When Ye Tao saw that Boss Wang had already admitted defeat, he followed suit and said politely.
At this time, Boss Wang had already adjusted his mentality. A mere 500 thousand was nothing for a businessman like him. What made him uncomfortable was that the treasure that he had always treasured was actually a fish. However, since it had already come to this, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Indeed, a hero comes from a young man. This time, I, Wang, have failed." From his eyes, he could tell that Ye Tao was not from a wealthy family. Five hundred thousand should be a lot of money for Ye Tao. However, he noticed that Ye Tao was not sad nor happy.
"Boss Wang, you're too kind. I'm new here, I hope you can give me some pointers." What Ye Tao said was true. Although he had the Heaven's Eyes, he couldn't tell the quality of the materials, so he couldn't estimate their value. He still needed to ask the experts about this.
"That's fine, just take a look. You can ask me about it at any time." Boss Wang laughed and said in a clear voice.
As the saying goes, the flower sedan was lifted by the crowd. With the two of them being polite, what happened just now was over.
"How do you know there's nothing in that stone?" Seeing that the matter was over and the crowd gradually dispersed, Chu Xiongfeng finally had time to quietly ask.
"Because I have a discerning eye. I have a natural talent, you won't be able to learn it." Ye Tao said in a slightly proud tone. If he directly told Chu Xifeng that he guessed it, he would probably think he was being perfunctory.
Chu Xifeng had a face of disdain, "Tsk, why didn't you say that you are Great Sage Qitian? And there's even the Fiery Eyes of Truth. " He didn't believe Ye Tao's words at all, yet he still ridiculed him.
Ye Tao was speechless, he did not think that people would not believe him even if they told the truth. Sometimes people are like this, you tell them the truth, but they don't believe it, even if you didn't lie, they would still tell a lie.
"I'll pick a few stones. You can choose another one yourself. I'll help you take a look. There won't be any problems." His main purpose this time was to gamble on stones. Although he had gambled for a while, he hadn't earned a single cent.
Chu Xiongfeng nodded his head. Although he didn't believe that Ye Tao had a discerning eye, Ye Tao had figured out the inner workings of the wool twice today. He believed that Ye Tao had some tricks up his sleeves and with his help, he would be absolutely safe.
This time, Ye Tao ignored the wool on the shelf. There were some emeralds in the remaining two stones, but he didn't know their true value. Plus, the wool itself was valuable, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He went straight to the pile of wool on the ground. The price of these stones and the ones on the shelf were like clouds and mud. The cheapest one was only 500-600, while the most expensive one was only 50-60,000 RMB.
Ye Tao casually picked up a piece and pretended to examine it carefully. In reality, he had already opened his Heaven's Eyes and scanned the fabric one by one. Not long later, he stood up and already had a plan in mind.
At this time, Chu Xifeng walked over with a piece of wool that was slightly bigger than a fist, "Fourth Bro, can you help me take a look at this stone?"
Ye Tao raised his head and glanced at the piece of wool and his eyes suddenly lit up. He discovered that the piece of wool in Chu Xiongfeng's hand had a dazzling emerald green color. Although it wasn't big, it was crystal clear and did not have any impurities.
Although he didn't know how to distinguish the water quality of the jadeite, he knew that the purer the texture, the more precious the color. He praised, "Not bad, keep it."
Who would have thought that after Chu Xifeng had gotten out of the bad luck of the morning, he would be able to turn the tables and pick up such a good treasure. Ye Tao bent down to pick up the two stones he had his eye on, they were not too big, the price was one thousand five hundred, the other three thousand. He thought for a moment. To avoid being too eye-catching, he picked up another piece of scrap. It was two thousand yuan.
"Are you going to cut this rock?" Ye Tao turned his head to look at Chu Xifeng and asked.
Chu Xifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "My family's old man likes jadeite so he planned to cut it open at his birthday feast. But after what happened today, I don't dare to take the risk."
Ye Tao wanted to tell him that the material was definitely going to be greatly increased, but he didn't know how to start. He kept guessing exactly what was going on inside the stone, which would arouse suspicion.
After thinking about it, he could only give up. Actually, he also wanted to see the quality of the jade in Chu Xianfeng's hand, so he could help himself with it.
"Alright, then you go first." Ye Tao said.
Chu Xifeng nodded his head and passed the wool in his hands over to an apprentice. Just now, Master Li had cut two stones in a row and was already exhausted, so this time the apprentice would cut it.
This caused Ye Tao to sigh on behalf of Master Li. Today, his luck was really bad, as he had lost two pieces in a row. It wasn't easy for him to encounter such a great item, but he had no fate with it.
Chu Xiongfeng's piece of wool was only around 10,000 yuan, which was a very common piece of wool. Therefore, the disciple did not feel any burden and immediately slashed down. Seeing Ye Tao's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
"Wait, I'll be troubling you, Young Master. Let me do it." When Ye Tao saw that Shi Mu's knife almost injured the jade inside, he didn't dare to hand it over to him anymore. According to this apprentice, there was a high chance that he would hurt the jade inside, so he quickly took it over.
"This …" The apprentice was a bit troubled. He looked at Chu Xifeng and he nodded in agreement. In any case, this stone wasn't worth much. He would just treat it as training for Ye Tao.
Only then did the apprentice place the stone grinder in Ye Tao's hands. Ye Tao took the stone grinder and felt his hand sink.
He used the Heaven's Eyes to examine the wool in his hands, then found a spot to slash down, it made Chu Xianfeng and the other disciples feel fear. Just now they thought he was being rude, but they didn't expect him to be even fiercer.
After the knife cut down, a delicate green color appeared, causing Ye Tao and Chu Xifeng to feel dizzy, "Imperial green?" Chu Xifeng blurted out.
"What is emperor's green?" Ye Tao asked casually, but his hand did not slow down. He chopped down from another direction.
Another touch of green appeared, making Chu Xiongfeng's heart beat faster. Seeing that Ye Tao wanted to cut again, he quickly said, "Fourth brother, please be careful."
