Chapter 68: Chapter 67 Glass-Seed Emperor Green Elder Zhou stood up at this point, smiled, and said, "Everyone, hold your horses, let’s wait until the rough stone is fully revealed before drawing any conclusions." With the authority having spoken, the crowd ceased their arguing and Bai Yuze continued to scrub the stone, working his way out from the spot where the green had appeared. As the scrubbing area expanded, the smile that had originally been on Bai Yuze’s face gradually faded away. Because, after scrubbing off the skin of the rough, the exposed part was not jade, but just a grayish-white common rock. Bai Yuze, unwilling to give up, switched to another side to continue scrubbing, to the same effect. "How could this be?" Bai Zhengchu couldn’t sit still any longer and hurried over. By then, the rough stone had been scrubbed down to a smaller size, yet it only had two spots of green. "No need to scrub any further, just cut it, cut it from the middle," Bai Zhengchu said, a bad premonition dawning on him. The surrounding people fell silent, watching tensely as the cutting wheel of the stone cutter slowly sliced through the rough. With a "snap," the stone split into two halves and fell to the ground. Without looking, Lin Tian knew the situation—the rough contained no jade at all. "It’s collapsed!" Bai Yuze’s expression turned dull, disbelief written all over his face. The guests all turned to look at Lin Tian, as if this young man had seen it coming all along. Right now, the calm expression on Lin Tian’s face suddenly made him seem inscrutable. "Yuze, finish processing the rough stone," Bai Zhengchu said to wake his grandson from his daze, sounding somewhat helpless. That’s how cruel gambling on stones can be; just when you think you hold all the cards, suddenly you’re hit with a surprise. Those with weak hearts can’t withstand such shocks. In the end, the only jade revealed from the rough were two thin slabs. "Alas, what a pity. If only it was treated as a semi-gambling stone by opening a window, it would have been worth no less than one million yuan," someone lamented with regret. One million, and yet now even a few thousand yuan would be considered good. Bai Yuze might not miss that one million, but the gap between a few thousand and one million yuan was enough to make his blood boil with discomfort. Especially since he had been so arrogantly mocking Lin Tian and Zhou Botong just before, now it was like slapping his own face, his expression uglier than if he had eaten a pile of hot dung. With such a perfect opportunity for retaliation, Zhou Botong of course would not let it pass. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Bai, your jade isn’t bad, eh? I’ll offer two hundred fifty yuan, will you sell it?" Two hundred fifty, his words made Bai Yuze’s facial muscles twitch uncontrollably, but it wasn’t over. Lin Tian then chimed in, "Brother Botong, Mr. Bai isn’t a fool, at least offer two thousand five hundred, right?" "Ah, Lin Tian, you’re the honest one. Mr. Bai, think it over, that’s ten times two hundred fifty, not a small amount," Zhou Botong winked at Lin Tian, silently praising their good coordination. Ten times two hundred fifty, Xiao Manxuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing at their back-and-forth. And Bai Yuze was so angry his face turned red, then white, and then purple from suppressing his anger, more thrilling than a Sichuan opera face-changing performance. "Lin Tian, what are you so proud of? Even if my jade was only worth one hundred yuan, it’s still better than your worthless stone, you’re the one who’s going to lose in the end!" Bai Yuze roared furiously, humiliated. "You’re not giving up until the end, I see. Well then, let me enlighten you on what gambling on stones is all about," Lin Tian knew that without cutting open the "cobblestone," Bai Yuze wouldn’t let it go. Lin Tian had never cut jade before, and to be safe, he started cutting from a third of the way into the rough stone. This position was a few centimeters from the center of the jade, far enough not to harm it. As stone dust flew about, Lin Tian cut open the piece of rough stone, a little smaller than a football. "Lin Tian, aren’t you bragging a bit too much? Aren’t you afraid the wind might ’snap’ your tongue?" Bai Yuze let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that the cut piece of rough stone had no jade, and his thoughts began to stir again. Lin Tian ignored him, about to continue cutting with the handle of the stone cutter when Elder Zhou suddenly called out, "Xiao Tian, hold on, let me take a look." Although he didn’t know what Elder Zhou wanted to see, Lin Tian still turned off the stone cutter and stopped. The guests’ imaginations were ignited by Elder Zhou’s words; it seemed that Elder Zhou had noticed something. Elder Zhou was an authority in the jade betting world, known as "Eyes of Golden Flame," and rarely made a misjudgment. "Bring me a basin of clean water and a strong flashlight," commanded Old Man Zhou, without turning back. Soon, a servant brought over the clean water and the strong flashlight. He dipped a towel in water, carefully washed the cut surface, and then shone the flashlight on it. Under the strong light, the smooth cut surface appeared hazy, as though shadows were faintly reflecting off it. "Hahaha, Xiao Tian, you might just bring us an enormous surprise today," Elder Zhou laughed heartily. He took out a pen, drew a line on the stone, and said with a smile, "Cut along the line I’ve drawn, be extremely careful!" The behavior of Elder Zhou confused the guests. It was an ordinary stone, but there might be a "huge surprise." The expressions of the Bai Family were even more colorful. They wanted to refute Elder Zhou’s statement, but who dared to claim they had better judgment than Elder Zhou. Taking the halved "pebble," Lin Tian looked through it with his X-ray vision and saw that Elder Zhou’s line was just two millimeters from the center of the jade. He had to admire Elder Zhou’s precise eye, which made Lin Tian wonder if Elder Zhou had X-ray vision himself. Turning on the stone cutter, Lin Tian firmly gripped the handle and carefully cut along the marked line. "It’s increased, it has increased, it’s magical!" Someone shouted loudly, and at that moment, the cut surface showed green. Lin Tian knew it was still not quite right; they couldn’t yet see the quality of the jade. He picked up a small grinding wheel and cautiously wiped away the two millimeters of stone skin, rinsing away the dust with water. Suddenly, the vivid emerald green that revealed itself, along with the glass-like transparency, astonished everyone. "Xiao Tian, I really didn’t guess wrong, it truly is glass-type Imperial Green Jade!" Elder Zhou’s gaze became reverent as he spoke earnestly. Glass-type Imperial Green Jade! Elder Zhou’s words were like a bomb thrown into the crowd, buzzing in everyone’s heads. Lin Tian’s eyes too shone with fascination; he had never seen such beautiful jade before. Although he had known the condition inside early on, the actual unveiling still filled him with immense satisfaction. He was the quickest to recover and decided to fast-track the unveiling of the jade. "Click..." Turning on the stone cutter, Lin Tian started cutting the other side of the rough stone. The piercing "click-click" sounds snapped the guests back to attention. Seeing Lin Tian cutting, everyone’s heart rose to their throats, terrified that a tremor of his hand would ruin this piece of jade. Glass-type Imperial Green Jade was extremely rare; many people present had never seen it before. Whoever owned glass-type Imperial Green Jade would never sell it, only keep it for a collection. It wasn’t just about the value but also about cherishing beautiful things, which was why they were so nervous. When Lin Tian had wiped away all the stone skin, what remained was a piece of jade the size of an egg. The source of this content is free(w)ebnovel
