Chapter 2222: Chapter 1929: Imperial Green Jade

"Amazing, amazing! That original stone looks so dull and inconspicuous, yet he picked it—truly impressive."

"I feel like he’s intentionally trying to lose."

"He didn’t even evaluate it carefully, just casually picked one. He’s bound to lose."

The crowd glanced at the basketball-sized original stone Song Yun pointed at, their expressions sneering.

Not far away, Da Long was still selecting original stones.

He glanced at Song Yun and then at that original stone, his eyes full of disdain, mocking, "With such skills, you dare to compete with me!"

After speaking, he continued selecting original stones.

Although randomly picking one would certainly be better than Song Yun’s, he decided that today he must unearth a stone with excellent transparency to completely crush Feng Chaohuang’s reputation.

"Mr. Song, what... what are you doing?"

Wang Qiang looked at Song Yun, his face pale with anxiety, thinking losing the competition is minor but losing face is major, especially losing to this little brat.

Song Yun smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Old Wang, don’t worry. After today, your Feng Chaohuang will have a famous jade to boast about. But later, the money Zhou Dalong loses, well, you take it and donate it to the impoverished areas."

Seeing Song Yun so confident, Wang Qiang almost cried, really wanting to ask Song Yun where his self-assurance comes from when he knows nothing.

After Song Yun finished selecting, everyone’s attention turned to Zhou Dalong.

Holding some equipment, Zhou Dalong looked incredibly solemn as he repeatedly checked and measured the original stone, fully focused. The surrounding people dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing him.

After more than an hour, he confidently pointed at a water-tank-sized original stone, "This is the one."

People looked at that original stone, and although nothing could be gleaned at the moment, judging by their experience, Zhou Dalong’s stone will definitely yield better material than Song Yun’s.

Song Yun’s stone was just too ordinary, costing only thirty thousand yuan.

What could one expect from a thirty-thousand-yuan original stone?

This kind of stone only fools outsiders, drawing them in for some excitement since thirty thousand isn’t much; it’s just for fun.

Zhou Dalong’s stone was different, valued at two million yuan just as an original stone.

This indicates that the probability of unearthing good jade is very high; otherwise, the original stone seller wouldn’t price it so high.

After Zhou Dalong swiped his card, the original stone was placed next to the cutting machine.

On the other side, Wang Qiang swiped his card since Song Yun was representing Feng Chaohuang.

At this moment, everyone looked forward with great anticipation, not for the outcome but to see what that two-million-yuan original stone would yield.

As for the result of victory or defeat, obviously, Song Yun was going to lose.

"Boss Zhou, hurry and place the stone on the cutting tool, we can’t wait any longer."

"If you can uncover a great piece of icy jade, haha, Mingyu Pavilion will make a fortune."

"The water-tank-sized original stone, wonder how much jade is in it, Mr. Zhou, open it up and let’s see."

Thinking Song Yun would definitely lose, nobody cared what was inside his stone, urging Zhou Dalong to start the cut.

"Since everyone’s so eager, I’ll open it first."

Challengingly, Zhou Dalong glanced at Song Yun and Wang Qiang, ordered that the stone be placed on the cutting machine.

He clearly valued this stone very much, after cautiously drawing the slicing line, he hesitated and told the cutter, "I’ll do it myself."

Seeing him personally step up, the crowd’s interest surged, thinking this stone surely holds goods; otherwise Zhou Dalong wouldn’t personally handle the cutting.

Under Zhou Dalong’s operation, the cutting machine sliced the original stone bit by bit.

When nearly half of the original stone had been cut, a hint of translucent green emerged; from its water head, it should be good-quality icy jade.

Icy jade has high transparency, containing ice-like threads within, a very desirable quality in jade.

"It’s turned green, and it’s icy jade!"

"No wonder he’s the Little Jade King, his eye is distinct indeed!"

"We’ll have to wait until the Little Jade King completes the cutting to see how large this piece of jade is."

Emotions ran high among the crowd, raising anticipation.

Though Zhou Dalong previously felt apprehensive, not knowing the results before the green appeared, now he had some confidence.

He continued operating the cutting machine, gradually extracting the jade piece from the stone.

When the complete piece of jade was revealed, the scene fell into silence.

Unexpectedly, the piece’s volume was as large as a football, of excellent quality, half icy jade, half glutinous jade—distinct and easy to divide.

"Incredible, the Little Jade King has struck it rich this time."

"Separating icy jade and glutinous jade, just the jade itself sells for over fifty million, if crafted into jade tools, tsk-tsk, with two million, the Little Jade King has made over a billion."

"Who would have thought, this original stone is so good, been untouched for days, had I known, I’d have taken it."

"This original stone must be the best in the venue."

The crowd was astounded, naturally changing their address to the Little Jade King.

At this moment, Zhou Dalong’s eyes were bright; the yield from this stone far exceeded his expectations, providing a delightful surprise.

"Mr. Wang, has your brother’s stone been opened yet?"

"Yes, let’s see what he got, who knows, maybe it’s icy jade too."

"Haha, even if it’s glassy jade, his stone is as big as a basketball, uncovering a finger-sized piece of glassy jade would still not compare to what the Little Jade King has."
