"How could it be like this..."

Bai Desheng's face immediately turned extremely ugly, standing stunned for a moment. At this rate, the jade meat next might also have cracks.

"Old Bai, let's cut and see."

Miao Youfeng sighed beside him and said.

Bai Desheng grit his teeth, wiped the sweat off his forehead, nodded, and together with Miao Youfeng, moved the jadeite raw stone onto the cutting platform of the jade cutting machine.

Zzzz!

The cutting wheel started spinning quickly, and at the same time, water flowed onto the jade stone, allowing the cutting wheel to quickly sink into the raw stone.

Thud.

The jadeite raw stone split into two halves, the cut surface smooth and even. However, at this moment, the smooth and even cut surface was covered with dense fine cracks, resembling a Go board, almost occupying the entire jadeite cut surface.

"It's ruined..."

"Really ruined!"

"There are so many cracks, this material is considered a waste."

"..."

The crowd immediately erupted, with voices coming through.

"Is this... a small cross crack?"

Qin Yang looked at the cut surface filled with fine cracks and murmured.

A small cross crack is an internal crack, a small crack hidden under the skin. These cracks are easily identifiable, characterized by vertical or near vertical intersecting cracks forming cross patterns, further forming a grid-like crack. Hence, it's also called a 'grid crack'. These dense and fine cracks greatly affect the quality of jadeite.

"How could it be like this, how could it be like this..."

Bai Desheng was suddenly like this stone, completely collapsing, his face pale.

From the excitement of a great rise just now to the harsh reality of a complete collapse, more thrilling than a roller coaster, Bai Desheng stood there in shock with a pale face.

With so many cracks, it's impossible to carve a bracelet or make a plaque out of this material, maybe barely able to find an unaffected spot to make a ring face.

However, usually, no one is willing to make that effort. Most people find a sculptor to make a large sculpture out of the cracked material. Of course, these jadeites filled with fine cracks usually end up as low-grade sculptures, not worth much, and some sculptors with a bit of reputation are unwilling to work on such materials.

"Old Bai."

Miao Youfeng patted Bai Desheng, wanting to comfort him, but didn't know what to say. He had just been envious and jealous, and now seeing Bai Desheng completely collapse, a feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.

"Phew."

After a while, Bai Desheng exhaled deeply.

"I'm fine."

Bai Desheng forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, his face still somewhat pale. He had spent a total of two million on these two raw stones, including that previously purchased black jadeite that turned out to be a complete gamble.

Even though Bai Desheng's wealth could still bear the loss, facing the harsh reality of two consecutive complete failures, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to accept.

Gambling on stones is so cruel. Even if you spend millions on raw stones, in an instant, it might be worthless. It really is a gamble between heaven and hell.

Most people who gamble on stones are extremely superstitious about luck. At this moment, in the eyes of others, Bai Desheng had become a jinx, unconsciously making those around him keep their distance.

Two seemingly promising gambling stones ended in failure. One could only say, bad luck.

Moreover, even the stall where Bai Desheng had previously bought the gambling stones became deserted, with the stone merchant looking very displeased.

"This guy is really extremely unlucky."

Qin Yang said, activating the Celestial Eye to see how the small cross cracks inside were, a faint blue tint appearing in his pupils.

"Sure enough, these cracks are highly destructive."

Qin Yang said softly. Inside, the jade meat was almost entirely ruined by the dense small cross cracks.

Just as he was about to withdraw the Celestial Eye, his gaze suddenly locked on the half-cut gamble stone previously cut by Bai Desheng.

The previous gamble stone by Bai Desheng had been cut twice in total. The first cut was made roughly from the middle, splitting the jadeite rough into two pieces, with neither showing any green. The second cut was made in the middle of one of the halves, also showing no green.

If there were jade meat inside the jadeite raw stone, it usually radiated outward from the center. Therefore, after these two cuts, if no green appears, it can basically be concluded that there is no jadeite inside, just a wasted material.

"This is..."

Qin Yang's pupils narrowed, and then a look of ecstatic joy surged in his eyes. In the other half of the uncut gamble stone, a piece of jadeite was resting quietly, glistening with a glass-like enchanting shine that was mesmerizing.

"Qin Yang, it's our turn now."

Ling Xiaoyu tapped Qin Yang, saying. Watching Bai Desheng cut the stone earlier, she was already eager to try it herself. Once she cuts out a big rise, she was determined to ridicule Qin Yang.

"Wait a minute."

Qin Yang shook his head and walked towards Bai Desheng, who was still standing in a daze.

"Hey, Qin Yang, where are you going?"

Ling Xiaoyu frowned slightly but still followed behind Qin Yang with Ruan Xinxue.

"Mr. Bai, may I ask, are you selling these waste materials?"

Qin Yang pointed to the raw stone pieces previously cut by Bai Desheng and asked.

Bai Desheng's face was still a bit pale. After glancing at the waste materials, he looked even more forlorn, clearly not yet recovered from the earlier blow.

"Qin Yang, what do you want these waste materials for?"

Ling Xiaoyu heard Qin Yang and Bai Desheng's conversation and was taken aback, asking.

"I haven't cut a stone before, so I'll use them to practice," Qin Yang said casually.

"If you want them, take them."

Bai Desheng heard that Qin Yang wanted to use his leftover waste materials for practice, waved his hand, and said despondently.

The first gamble stone was a total waste, so giving it away for free wasn't appealing to anyone, and while the second piece could still be used to make a sculpture by a master, it wouldn't be very profitable.

"That's not right, that piece of waxy ice jadeite, although full of cracks, isn't entirely worthless."

Qin Yang shook his head and said.

Bai Desheng nodded. In the stone gambling arena, there's a taboo against unclear transactions; money and goods must be clear, and neither party can regret it afterward.

"Then five thousand yuan."

Bai Desheng thought for a moment and said. If that piece of waxy ice jadeite were carved into a sculpture and sold, it might make a few thousand yuan at most. It's time-consuming and laborious. Since Qin Yang wanted it, he might as well sell it for five thousand yuan.

Qin Yang was delighted, nodded, and happened to have five thousand yuan in cash, did not bargain, and directly handed it to Bai Desheng.

Bai Desheng didn't even count it, took it, but having lost two million, five thousand yuan offered little consolation, and his mood was still quite poor.

Now, with the transaction complete, the waste materials belonged to Qin Yang.

"You folks can't cut stones; I'll cut them for you. Spending foolishly on waste materials," Ling Xiaoyu glanced at the spent five thousand yuan waste material Qin Yang purchased and said.

"Let's go, cut stones."

Qin Yang was in a great mood, completely ignoring Ling Xiaoyu's words. Soon, she'll be shocked by what's uncovered.
