"The surface exhibits 'python bands' and 'pine flower,' indicating a high likelihood of green, it's a good piece of material," Mu Lao said from the side.

Jadeite rough stone surfaces often feature some strip-like or irregular blotchy undulating bands, which might be green, black, gray, or other colors. People vividly refer to these undulating vein-like forms as "python bands."

Pine flower refers to the green jade particles on the jadeite crust that have not completely weathered, resembling green pine needles scattered across the surface.

In fact, pine flower shapes are varied, particles can be large or small, distributions can be sparse or dense; large pine flowers can be seen directly with the naked eye, while small particle pine flowers require magnifying glasses.

Pine flower is one of the important bases to determine whether the jadeite rough stone has green within, while python bands are not only key to judging whether jadeite has green, but also for assessing color saturation, and some believe that some python bands can reflect the internal quality of jadeite.

This knowledge is imprinted in Qin Yang's mind. Now, combining it with the performance of this gamble stone, Qin Yang also concluded within himself.

"Python bands and pine flower, this black sand full gamble material indeed has a considerable chance to produce good jadeite as Mu Lao said."

However, no one can be one hundred percent sure whether there will be jadeite inside a rough stone; experience is one thing, luck plays a part too.

This is where the gambling nature of jade betting lies, hence the saying in the stone gambling world, "Even immortals find it hard to discern an inch of jade" and "There are no experts in jade gambling."

However, the jade which even immortals find hard to judge does not mean Qin Yang cannot.

"Celestial Eye Opening!"

Qin Yang silently muttered in his heart, activating the Celestial Eye, a faint layer of azure hue covered his pupils.

Looking back at this jadeite rough stone, the hard black crust gradually faded away, his vision penetrated deeper inside, and at the offset right side of the jadeite rough stone, a captivating crystalline green burst into his view.

"There's jadeite indeed, and it's high-quality icy yellow-green!"

Qin Yang marveled internally, sensing the spiritual energy suffusing within the lush, transparent jadeite.

After observing for a few minutes, the gamble stone was moved to other guests, and another hostess pushed the half-gamble stone toward Qin Yang and the others.

In comparison to the previous full-gamble material, this half-gamble piece seemed more popular, after all, from the exposed window view, the palm-sized jade meat is icy, vibrant green, and full color; both the quality and water content are excellent, relatively rare, belonging to high-grade jadeite. Its true value lies in how much jade meat actually resides inside.

"This half-gamble piece is indeed good, few cracks, nicely sugared, worth betting," Mu Lao examined it for a while and was quite optimistic about the piece.

Old Zhou beside him nodded, the crust presentation of this piece is indeed nice, but no one dares say how much jade meat lies inside.

If the jade meat is just that thin layer seen through the window, it might not even make a ring face, the value won't be high.

If the jade meat extends downward with enough volume to make several bracelets or ornaments, the price could hit millions.

Qin Yang activated the Celestial Eye and looked at this half-gamble piece, an odd hint of smile played in his azure-tinted pupils.

Truly, there are no experts in jade stone gambling, whoever buys this piece would likely lose big time.

This half-gamble piece, aside from the window and its surrounding few-millimeter jadeite, showed nothing but gray waste material in other areas.

People spent slightly longer observing the half-gamble piece, about seven to eight minutes, before the hostess pushed the large piece of white base green jadeite stone over.

Many people's eyes lit up instantly; this white base green piece not only was large but also its green was richly concentrated, the color quite vivid, the whole slightly transparent, the green and white sharply defined, making it top-grade among white base green pieces.

"The starting bid for this white base green must be at least thirty million," a corpulent middle-aged man said.

"Indeed, as jadeite prices continue to rise, a piece this size could attract a large crowd of mid-range clients; Old Bai, your thirty million is likely an understatement," another middle-aged man with a slightly bald head said.

"No matter what, I'll take down this white base green," the corpulent middle-aged man said, gritting his teeth, even if the profit is narrow; retaining those mid-range clients is crucial at this point.

"Old Bai, you can't compete with me on this, my jewelry store is in dire need of mid-range pieces now," the bald middle-aged man became anxious, saying.

"Old Miao, don't pretend you're poor, everyone knows you picked up a large fine bean grain jade not long ago, how could you lack mid-range pieces?" the corpulent middle-aged man retorted.

"That was three or four months ago," the bald middle-aged man paused, then shook his head, "Forget it, what's the point of arguing, with Ruan Jewelry Group and World Jewelry Group present, this white base green is likely beyond our reach."

"Mr. Miao, Mr. Bai, we Ruan's are not competing for this white base green," Ruan Xinxue chuckled bitterly from the side.

The corpulent middle-aged man was Bai Desheng, running Desheng Jewelry Firm, while the bald-headed man was Miao Youfeng, another jewelry merchant.

Bai Desheng and Miao Youfeng exchanged a glance, their faces dawning with realization, clearly remembering the six million spent earlier; indeed, it's not a small sum even for Ruan Jewelry Group.

Yet, even if Ruan's opted out, World Jewelry Group remained a formidable rival. They realized acquiring this jadeite bright piece wouldn't be easy, thus both turned their gaze toward the half-gamble material.

Though the half-gamble piece posed significant risks, from the window's jade meat, if it rises, it could become a vibrant icy green full color; crafting several bracelets, pendants, or ring faces would attract many high-end clients.

Whereas a complete loss might mean losing all capital, it's rare for jewelry merchants at their level to outright gamble stones, usually buying bright jadeite pieces directly for large investments.

Currently, a faint azure gleam danced within Qin Yang's pupils as he observed the bright jadeite piece, and unsurprisingly, this large white base green also harbored spiritual energy; he strongly desired to refine it for personal use.

Refining spiritual energy from jadeite requires one hand on the jadeite bright piece while the other seals off a spell; obviously, too conspicuous under public scrutiny.

Twenty minutes flew by quickly, the three jadeite pieces were once again put on the auction stage.

The audience below all had a burning gaze in their eyes; the tense moment for stone auction bids had arrived.
