"Classmate, the reason it's called gambling on stones is because some of these jadeite rough stones contain jadeite, some don't, some have good jadeite, and some have inferior jadeite."

The middle-aged shopkeeper explained in simple terms.

"Then what you said earlier about cutting out a villa or a car with one slice, that's got to be a scam."

Off to the side, Zheng Wei also felt a bit embarrassed earlier and now said to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Gambling on stones is about adrenaline, it's about luck. If you succeed, you could unveil a piece of jadeite worth millions, and then buying a villa or a car is certainly within reach, no?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled with squinted eyes.

How could outsiders like Zheng Wei and Wang Shuai possibly argue with the middle-aged shopkeeper? Both of them were left speechless.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, many classmates became interested in stone gambling. Who doesn't want to get rich overnight?

At this moment, Guo Xiaobin, Qin Yang, and Lu Bingyao, seeing many classmates gathered around, walked over as well.

"Gambling on stones?"

Qin Yang glanced over and smiled slightly, thinking it was interesting to encounter stone gambling again.

Back when Qin Yang first crossed over to Earth, his first pot of gold came from gambling on jadeite stones, and it was the Spiritual Energy within the jade that helped him break through to the level of an Intermediate Immortal Warrior.

However, now that Qin Yang has advanced to Intermediate Immortal Warrior, he doesn't crave the Spiritual Energy in jadeite as much.

Qin Yang glanced at the stall of the middle-aged shopkeeper. On the stall, there were rough jadeite stones with coarse textures, priced in the hundreds and thousands.

Some larger pieces were priced at tens of thousands, with the most expensive being a piece of black sand priced at 180,000, clearly indicating that this middle-aged shopkeeper was just a small-time stone gambler.

"Xiao Yang, can these stones really reveal jadeite worth millions?"

Guo Xiaobin asked.

"It's true that they can reveal jadeite, but jadeite worth millions isn't so easily uncovered."

Qin Yang replied with a smile.

Jadeite gambling has stories of getting rich overnight, even adapted into tales circulating in the stone gambling circle, but the unseen side is mainly about ruin and loss, just like treasure hunting; some do find treasures, but more end up paying for their mistakes!

"So, classmates, who wants to buy a couple to try their luck?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper chuckled and called out. He estimated these students didn't carry much money, but any sale was a gain.

"Brother Wang, do you want to buy?"

Zheng Wei asked.

Wang Shuai was also somewhat interested in stone gambling. Spending hundreds or thousands was within his means, but being clueless about stone gambling, he had no idea which stone to purchase.

"Classmates, if you miss this chance, there won't be another! Personally extracting a piece of good jadeite and gifting it to the girl you like could be a wonderful gift."

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled, clearly understanding the mindset of high school students.

Hearing this, Wang Shuai was tempted. How meaningful it would be to gift Su Qingqing a jadeite gem!

Qin Yang, seeing most of these stones were of poor quality, initially showed little interest but decided to activate his Celestial Eye anyway.

Indeed, as expected, among the hundreds of different-sized stones at the middle-aged shopkeeper's stall, most were dull gray with no jade inside. About twenty or so did contain jadeite but were mostly low-grade material.

The best stone was the black sand priced at 180,000, which contained a golden silk jadeite, but its size wasn't large, barely worth 100,000. Buying it at 180,000 would surely be a loss.

As Qin Yang was about to withdraw his Celestial Eye, his gaze suddenly froze, landing on an unassuming stone at his feet.

Under the Celestial Eye's vision, a vivid, pure crimson glow entered his pupils.

"Is this... Red Jade?"

A flash of surprise appeared on Qin Yang's face as he focused his gaze for a closer look.

Within a stone just the size of an adult's fist was a pigeon-egg-sized red jade, crystal clear.

It seemed like the purest blood congealed, radiating a rich red hue like a blood beauty shining brilliantly.

"No, this isn't ordinary Red Jade but the finest among them, the top-grade Blood Beauty!"

Qin Yang's pupils shrank. Even with his willpower, he couldn't hide his shock.

In jadeite, among different hues, some colors stand like emperors, elegant and noble, at the peak, while similar colors can only look up to them.

These colors each have unique names in the stone gambling community, showcasing their extraordinary nature.

Among greens, "Zumu Green" or "Imperial Green" is the most prestigious; for blues, "Top-grade Blue Elf" is the best; for reds, "Top-grade Blood Beauty" captivates the most.

"Unexpectedly, at this humble stall, such top-tier material was found."

At this moment, Qin Yang didn't know what else to say, attributing it to his overflow of luck.

"Classmates, buy one for fun. It's just a few hundred yuan, and if you get jadeite, give it to your beloved girl or keep it as a memento."

The middle-aged shopkeeper continued to promote.

Among the students, several from affluent families were eager to try, but no one had stepped up to buy yet.

"How much for this one?"

Qin Yang lightly kicked the stone at his feet, asking. He wasn't going to pass up on the top-grade Blood Beauty.

The middle-aged shopkeeper glanced at the rough stone by Qin Yang's feet. The stone wasn't large, with a reddish-brown outer layer, which was a bit different from the others.

"Young man, you're the first buyer, so I'll give you a discount. Three hundred yuan."

The middle-aged shopkeeper laughed.

"Two hundred."

Qin Yang didn't really want to haggle, but he figured if he didn't, other students might feel embarrassed to haggle later.

"Young man, two hundred is too little, how about two hundred eighty?"

"Okay."

Qin Yang nodded, handed three hundred-yuan bills to the shopkeeper.

"Haha, great, young man, that stone is yours now."

The middle-aged shopkeeper took the money and returned twenty yuan to Qin Yang, smiling.

Qin Yang bent down and picked up the jadeite rough stone, thinking how unexpected it was to find a top-grade Blood Beauty during this trip to Qingxia River Valley.

"Brother Wang, that Qin Yang guy bought one, are you going to?"

Zheng Wei saw Qin Yang spend three hundred on a small stone and asked.

"Buy, of course, I'll buy."

Wang Shuai nodded. He'd wanted to buy one earlier. Hundreds or thousands aren't a big deal to him.

If he could truly uncover a piece of jadeite and present it to Su Qingqing in front of everyone, surely their relationship would become closer.

"Brother Wang, with so many, which one should we buy?"

Zheng Wei asked.

"If the price is low, the chances of finding jadeite are smaller. Let's buy one with a higher price."

Fan Juejin, standing nearby, pushed up his black rimmed glasses and said.

"Juejin is right, buy one that's priced higher."

With that, Wang Shuai started to look around the stall.
