"This piece of skin shell shows such poor performance; it's unlikely for such delicate Black Jadeite to appear. This young man's luck is truly extraordinary."

Miao Youfeng, standing nearby, also sighed.

Everyone's confusion, Ling Xiaoyu heard it all, looked carefully at this piece of yellow sand skin material, showed a contemplative expression, and muttered, "Perhaps the outermost layer of yellow sand skin's weathered shell isn't its true weathered shell; the deep brown layer inside seems like its real shell, a bit like a stone within a stone."

"So, are we polishing next?"

Qin Yang beamed with joy and said with a smile.

"No need, you go ahead and cut it. This shell is somewhat thick, I'll make the markings."

Ling Xiaoyu shook her head, giving a strange glance at Qin Yang, wondering if this guy was really just lucky?

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

After marking the lines, Qin Yang turned on the cutting machine and followed the white line to cut.

A dozen minutes later, a rectangular piece of Black Jadeite appeared in Qin Yang's hand, the whole piece radiating a black sheen, as delightful to the eye as the most beautiful black pearl.

"How much do you think this is worth?"

Qin Yang asked with a smile.

Unlike other jadeites, Black Jadeite's quality and water can hardly be seen with the naked eye; it requires strong light to inspect.

"Let me check the water content."

Ling Xiaoyu turned on the flashlight, the strong light easily penetrated, reflecting a deep green color.

"The water content is quite sufficient, almost reaching nine-tenths water."

Ruan Xinxue, being closer, exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's nine-tenths water, reaching high icy quality."

Ling Xiaoyu nodded, then turned off the strong flashlight; high icy quality Black Jadeite, this guy's luck is really something.

Icy quality is eight-tenths water, while glass quality is what we call ten-tenths water. Here, water refers to its transparency. Reaching nine-tenths water is considered high icy quality; some places also call nine water icy glass.

"This piece of Black Jadeite can make about a dozen Jade Tokens and some rings and brooches, roughly sell for..."

Before Ling Xiaoyu finished her words, a middle-aged man in the crowd first shouted a price.

"Young man, I'll offer seven hundred and thirty thousand, sell me this Black Jadeite."

"I'll offer seven hundred and fifty thousand."

"..."

A few years ago, the Black Jadeite market was lukewarm, considered mid-range material, plus the output of Black Jadeite was also low, accounting for about 2%, and fewer people paid attention to it. But in the past two years, the price of Black Jadeite has been steadily climbing, and continuously rising.

Black Jadeite is most commonly used for carving plaques, but now rings, brooches, and necklaces made with Black Jadeite are also very popular, although bracelets are relatively rare.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"

Bai Desheng gritted his teeth and joined the bidding with a very high price. He had already made up his mind; getting this material and using it all for rings or brooches, plus Black Jadeite would continue to rise for some time, shouldn't lead to much loss, right?

Ling Xiaoyu turned her gaze, looking at Bai Desheng with surprise. Her estimated price was around eight hundred thousand; it seemed Bai Desheng's shop was really short of material.

Since Bai Desheng's offer wasn't low, for a moment, no one else raised the price.

However, at this moment, Bai Desheng felt very nervous; just because no one else raised the price didn't mean he could get the piece. It seemed Qin Yang, the main person, hadn't said if he would sell it yet.

Qin Yang looked at Ruan Xinxue; this piece of Black Jadeite wasn't too big, and the Spiritual Energy inside wasn't much, but it was better than nothing; the marked material could be given to Sister Ruan.

"Sorry, Mr. Bai, this piece I..."

"Qin Yang, hey, you should sell it. I've already taken that piece of glass quality and Xiaoyu's water quality material, so the company doesn't need raw materials at the moment, and you don't have much money left, right?" Ruan Xinxue tugged at Qin Yang and said.

Qin Yang thought for a moment; indeed, after spending ten thousand to buy material, he now only had a few dozen left, even having trouble affording meals. Besides, with this money, he could get all the good materials in the market later. Sister Ruan was really considerate.

"Alright, as you say."

Qin Yang nodded with a smile, then turned to Bai Desheng and said, "Mr. Bai, eight hundred and fifty thousand, it's a deal."

"Alright, alright, I'll go and draft the contract."

Bai Desheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand, should be enough to take all the good materials here, right."

A smile appeared on Qin Yang's lips as he muttered to himself.

Back then, advancing from a mortal to an initial Intermediate Immortal Warrior took quite a bit of effort, even with the help of consuming a Fire Spirit Fish. Yet, advancing from an initial Intermediate Immortal Warrior to an Intermediate Immortal Warrior would require even more Spiritual Energy, making the path even harder—just like the saying often mentioned in the Immortal Cultivation Realm: entering the Immortal Dao is hard, ascending the Immortal Dao is even harder!

"Hey, did you already know there was jadeite inside?" Ling Xiaoyu eyed Qin Yang suspiciously.

"Yeah, I have x-ray vision." Qin Yang said with a sly smile.

"Who would believe that!"

Ling Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, naturally not believing Qin Yang's nonsense.

"Instinct, my sixth sense is usually quite accurate." Qin Yang said with a smile; telling the truth wouldn't be believed by this girl, so he had to make up something.

"Sixth sense?" Ling Xiaoyu frowned slightly. Sixth sense could also be considered intuition, which was quite vague, and she had to sigh inwardly that this guy was just lucky.

"Don't forget our bet, five thousand was the purchase price, hmm, let me calculate the increase... a 1700-fold increase."

Qin Yang thought for a moment, his gaze intentionally and blatantly landing on Ling Xiaoyu's ample chest. Sometimes, teasing this feisty girl was a pleasure, albeit with a bit of mischief.

"Humph, if you keep looking, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Ling Xiaoyu snorted, said fiercely. She wasn't the type to be a sore loser, so she took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to Qin Yang.

Touching the slightly cool necklace in his hand, Qin Yang's mouth curled into a smile as he stuffed it into his pocket.

With the contract drafted and both signatures in place, Bai Desheng handed over an eight hundred and fifty thousand cash check to Qin Yang.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, thank you, President Ruan."

Bai Desheng said with a cheerful smile. With this piece of Black Jadeite, the high-end rings in the store were secured.

"You're too kind, Mr. Bai." Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"President Ruan is really fortunate to have Miss Ling, a stone gambling expert, around and Young Master Qin with such amazing luck; it's truly enviable." Miao Youfeng said with a face full of envy, his words were heartfelt, without any flattery.

"Yes, Old Bai, I'd really love to have a huge rise once, but alas, I don't have that luck."

Bai Desheng nodded, smacking his lips. Although he had a run of bad luck, being able to witness three huge rises firsthand was worth the trip; such occurrences were rare in the stone gambling world, and it's quite a topic to talk about when shared.

At this moment, Yang Buqun's face was a bit sullen. This kid really had unbelievable dumb luck today, having three huge rises in a row with Ling Xiaoyu's material included.
