Imperial green jade!

Just two centimeters in, and there was the purest Imperial green jade!

Ling Yun’s accuracy was simply god-like. One slash and there was jade, without spoiling the jade inside!

No one cared about that now.

This time, everyone, except for Ling Yun, was shocked. Their eyes and mouth grew disparagingly wide. Their bodies pivoted at the waist, leaning forward involuntarily. Their necks grew long. It was an ultimate challenge. It was inconceivable to achieve it, they were shocked.

Everyone in the crowd had some knowledge about the Imperial green jade.

And, most of them had seen the Imperial green jade in real life. However, not one person, including the Lord of Jade himself, had seen so much Imperial green jade in a stone!

Ling Yun’s Dragon Vein Sword was only about a meter long. His swing lobed off a quarter of the cut surface of the stone that contained jade!

For a whole minute, the backyard was silent, save for heavy, shallow breathing. If one listened carefully, they could even hear the beating of excited hearts…

“Thump!”

A loud noise broke the silence of the backyard. Another “thump” followed right on the heels of the last.

They turned towards the source. It was the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan dropping to their knees on the floor.

The pain must have been excruciating, considering the weight of their bodies.

However, they didn’t seem to feel it at all. Their bodies were plastered to the ground, groveling at the stone. They stayed kneeled there for quite some time.

Ling Yun was amazed. Just how much did these two love their stones and jade?

After a long time, the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan lifted their heads, their faces full of dust, and tears flowing down their eyes. These weren’t tears of excitement but tears of piety.

As society developed and the standards of living rapidly improved, antique appreciation and jewelry shops developed rapidly as well. Jade had become an indispensable part of people’s lives.

There were many types of jade, including glass, ice, water, gold thread, etc… But the one with the best color and the highest value was undoubtedly the Imperial green jade.

The imperial green color had a vivid and thick green color, as well as elements of blue it in, encasing its noble beauty.

It was an exclusive color and was so green that green oil might drip out in the next second.

What was Imperial green jade worth? An Imperial green jade that was the size of a fist would be worth more than a hundred million!

Song Zhengyang and Murong Wenshi swallowed upon the majestic sight. They took uneven steps and helped the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan up from the ground.

They were just as moved, they just didn’t express it as outwardly as the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan.

Now, the 1.8-meter tall black King of Stones revealed that it had the purest color of imperial green. That green seemed to be very much alive and flowing.

It was now getting dusky. The sky was gloomy, and there wasn’t any chance to turn on the light. That made this green light even more eye-catching and shocking.

“Imperial green jade… Too much of it. H-how is this possible?”

The Lord of Jade put his trembling hands onto the Imperial green jade. His hands gently caressed the stone as though he was caressing the face of the woman he loved.

“The Dragon Stone Imperial green jade… I was wondering why there were so many signs on the stone when it first came… So it was because of the Imperial green jade!”

Song Zhengyang’s expression was really colorful. He regretted that he didn’t trust his experience. Why didn’t he take another cut on the King of Stones?

Just one more cut, and he would have ascended to the heavens! However, no one but Ling Yun took that cut!

That feeling was like roulette. Someone won in all their bets before and deliberated whether to place their bet on eight or seven. They bought eight, but the winning number was seven!

A cut could send you to heaven or hell. Many of the people present in the courtyard spent five hundred thousand yuan on a cut. Not only did they not obtain a piece of heaven, but now, they were served a piece of hell by Ling Yun!

Everyone who cut the King of Stones before would never have another good night’s rest!

Why didn’t they cut once more when they had the chance?

Murong Feixue finally recovered from her shock. She closed her gaping mouth and used the back of her hand to wipe away the saliva from her mouth. Her gaze moved from the King of Stones to the candied gourd and finally to Ling Yun!

Who on earth was this guy? What superpowers did he possess to be able to pick stones with jade with 100% accuracy?

Even the King of Stones that everyone had given up on! What could he not do? He was really heaven-defying!

Heaven-defying performance!

What was really funny was that everyone, including her, was cursing at him as a spendthrift, a prodigal, a wastrel…

Now it seemed like every yuan that Ling Yun spent would flip a hundredfold! There wasn’t a single yuan wasted!

Who was the fool now?

Everyone felt their faces growing red hot, as though they were slapped thoroughly by someone invisible…

The two nouveau riches, Hou Yaozong and Zhu Yongwang’s eyes grew as big as light bulbs. They could probably stuff a goose egg down their mouths. They leaned forward unwillingly and kept pinching themselves to see if it was all true…

The raw stone in Zhu Yongwang’s hand had long been thrown away by him.

They were so wrong!

“Friend, can I buy this King of Stones from you? I’ll give you five billion yuan, and I’ll give a check to you right now!”

“Rubbish, an Imperial green jade the size of a fist is worth more than a hundred million. How can you just offer five billion yuan? Do you know how to do business? I offer six billion yuan!”

“Seven billion yuan!”

“Ten billion yuan!”

…

All of the jewelers went crazy. They seemed to have forgotten that the prices they were shouting out were totally out of their means!

Ling Yun smiled and swung his arm again. A flash appeared, and an even bigger piece of rock fell off!

Almost half of the entire flat part was exposed, and it was filled with the Dragon Stone Imperial green jade!

There was no impurity, no cotton. In the darkness, it was like a giant urn with a half-opened lid, revealing a pot of greenish water!

“Oh my god!”

Ling Yun replaced his need to answer with his actions. Most of the jewel merchants zipped their lips. This King of Stones was now truly priceless, its value immeasurable by normal means.

“Switch on the lights!”

The Lord of Jade ordered after a few deep breaths. The whole backyard lit up instantly.

The Lord of Jade left the King of Stones, trying to remain cool. He ambled backward and stood in the middle of the courtyard. “Ladies and Gentlemen, the King of Stones is now unraveled. The mystery has been solved. I don’t think I need to announce whether or not it has jade in it.” The Lord of Jade addressed the crowd with a hold fist salute.

“Today is the most important and unforgettable day since the opening of Yu Ding Xuan and the House of Strange Stones. We thank you sincerely for coming today. However, it’s getting late, and we at Yu Ding Xuan still have something on. Please do vacate the place!

“The stone gambling event of Yu Ding Xuan has ended today. We’ll start at the same time next week, and we hope to see you here again!”

The Lord of Jade bade the guests farewell and ordered several guys to bring out all their firecrackers. They set them off at the entrance of Yu Ding Xuan and the backyard.

The crowd wanted to see what the Imperial green jade would look like after it had been carved out in full. Unfortunately for them, the security guards were already asking them to leave.

People came, and people went. Some were still shocked, some were amazed, some were chattering away, and some sighed heavily. Everyone had their own thoughts on the matter.

“Congratulations to my little pal Ling Yun! Can I have a moment with you?”

The Lord of Jade couldn’t be more polite with Ling Yun.

The Lord of Jade could be said to have lost the most. He sat on a huge pile of treasure without knowing it and missed such a fine Imperial green jade. Most people had shown their regret instantly, but the Lord of Jade maintained his composure.

“You’re too kind, Lord of Jade. My pleasure!”

Ling Yun smiled lightly and welcomed his invitation.
