Chapter 161 X-Ray Vision



Inside the auction house, it was packed with people.

Not only customers, but also many stall owners gathered here to watch.

Most of the people doing business here rely on jade and gemstones for a living. Nowadays, there are rumors of raw stones that can yield top-quality gemstones in the market, and everyone wants to come and broaden their horizons.

In the middle of the auction house, a grinding wheel-sized raw stone lay quietly there.

"Look at the texture and color of this stone, it's definitely a good one. It's sure to yield emerald jadeite," someone in the crowd said, looking at the stone with excitement.

Others, upon hearing this, also looked excited and felt like they were going to witness history.

Wang Chao stood among the crowd, staring at the raw stone.

At the same time, he circulated the inner energy in his body and condensed it in his eyes.

In an instant, his vision underwent a dramatic change.

In his sight, everything became transparent.

The attire and appearance of everyone in front of him disappeared, replaced by transparent blood vessels, organs, bones, and nerves.

X-ray vision!

Wang Chao didn't use this x-ray vision for peeping or pay attention to others. Instead, he focused on the raw stone.

In his line of sight, the stone's skin also became incredibly transparent, and he could see everything inside the stone.

Indeed, there was a large amount of green and abundant spiritual energy gathering inside.

After seeing the spiritual energy inside clearly, Wang Chao frowned slightly, dissipated the inner energy in his eyes, and looked disappointed.

This raw stone did contain spiritual stones, but the quality of the spiritual energy was dispersed, resulting in poor quality of the spiritual stones that couldn't be used as amulets or jade pendants.

"This raw stone is likely to yield a complete emerald jadeite. Now we will start the auction with a starting price of ten million," said the auctioneer, who stepped forward and briefly introduced the raw stone before starting the bidding.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao's expression sank.

The starting price was ten million, and he wondered if such stones were so expensive.

He felt that everything in his home country seemed to have changed after being abroad for eight years.

A set of houses could sell for tens of millions, and now a raw stone's starting price was ten million.

When did the economy in his home country become so prosperous?

The prices of everything exceeded his imagination!

If it were before he went abroad, he wouldn't have believed that there would be such huge housing prices in his home country.

"It seems that this is not the spiritual stone I'm looking for," Wang Chao sighed, turned around and left the crowd, and began to observe various stalls, hoping to find a bargain.

However, after browsing through all the stalls, he was even more disappointed.

All the spiritual stones in these stalls were just ordinary jadeite, agate, and sapphires, and not the spiritual stones he was looking for.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

Just as Wang Chao was about to leave, suddenly Qin Feng approached from a distance, looking at Wang Chao with a surprised expression.

"I wanted to buy some gemstones to give to my family, why are you here too?" Wang Chao said.

"I heard that there is an unprecedented raw stone here that might yield an exquisite Emperor Green gemstone, so I wanted to take a look," Qin Feng replied, looking towards the auction house.

"You mean that one? It's a waste, no need to look," Wang Chao said.

"A waste? I've heard many jade experts give high praise to this raw stone," Qin Feng was taken aback.

"The words of experts are not always trustworthy. That raw stone can indeed yield green, but the quality is not high enough to be worth the price," Wang Chao said.

Hearing Wang Chao's words, Qin Feng looked at him with even more curiosity. "Brother Wang, you also understand jade?"

"I know a thing or two," Wang Chao said.

"Hehe, knowing a thing or two and yet daring to boast, Wang Chao, can your bragging get any bigger?"

Before Qin Feng could speak, a cold and disdainful voice rang out.

Immediately after, Duan Wuya and an old man with youthful features appeared in front of Wang Chao. Duan Wuya looked arrogant as he stared at Wang Chao with cold eyes, "Lack of knowledge, go back home and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

The icy words were condescending!

Duan Wuya stared at Wang Chao as if he were a heavenly god standing on a cloud, looking down on ants on the ground with disdain and contempt.

Wang Chao's face darkened.

Why is Duan Wuya here too?

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Such a narrow encounter with enemies!

The old man who followed Duan Wuya glanced at Wang Chao and also said coldly, "You're young and dare to talk nonsense, you really don't know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth."

Wang Chao frowned.

Who is this again?

He has no grudges or grievances with this old man, so why is he picking on him?

Qin Feng's expression changed when he saw this old man, and he whispered, "Brother Wang, this is Han Fei, a well-known master appraiser in this area."

"Whether it's gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, or other ancient objects, he has a discerning eye and can identify them one by one."

"He also appraised the jade stone you just evaluated, saying it could yield an exquisite Emperor Green gemstone."

Wang Chao immediately understood upon hearing this.

No wonder Han Fei's attitude towards him was so bad. It turns out that his evaluation just now offended Han Fei. He said that the raw stone could only yield ordinary gemstones, but Han Fei appraised it as potentially yielding an exquisite Emperor Green gemstone, so naturally Han Fei would be displeased.

However, Wang Chao couldn't be bothered to care, and said to Qin Feng, "Young Master Qin, take your time to browse, I'll leave first."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

At this moment, a middle-aged man behind Han Fei stepped forward and glared at Wang Chao angrily, saying, "You think you can just leave like this?"

He looked fierce and tall, half a head taller than Wang Chao.

This person's name was Yan Jun, he was Han Fei's senior disciple and also a good friend of Duan Wuya.

"Oh, you dare to stop me?" Wang Chao's eyes turned cold.

"You made reckless comments just now and offended my master. You must apologize to my master, otherwise, you won't be able to leave," Yan Jun said coldly.

Qin Feng heard this and his face turned serious as he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "Yan Jun, Brother Wang is my friend, don't go too far!"

"Young Master Qin, you've been in this business for a long time and your family is also involved in the jade business. So you should understand the rules of our industry. Are you sure you want to stand up for him?" Yan Jun didn't back down, but instead stared coldly at Qin Feng.

Although Qin Feng was a young master with a net worth of billions, his family's involvement in the jade business was limited.

On the other hand, Han Fei and Yan Jun's families had a wide range of business in this industry and were well-known. Naturally, they didn't see Qin Feng, an outsider, as a threat.

Qin Feng felt slighted for the first time and his eyes also turned cold. "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare to threaten you, I'm just saying that if you offend my master in the jade business in Canton City, we can't guarantee whether your jade business can continue!" Yan Jun was extremely aggressive, staring coldly at Wang Chao and said, "Today, he must apologize to my master."

"Young Master Qin, if you stand up for him, you will be against us. I advise you to think carefully." Yan Jun's words were arrogant.

Qin Feng's face darkened and his eyes grew colder.

This Yan Jun was too arrogant!

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Chao. "Young Master Qin, let me handle this."

"Hehe, you want to handle it? Wang Chao, are you planning to kneel down and apologize to Mr. Han?" Duan Wuya sneered.

"You shut up!" Wang Chao gave him a cold glance.

"Do you dare to glare at me?" Duan Wuya's eyes narrowed.

Wang Chao couldn't be bothered to deal with him, and instead stared at Yan Jun and Han Fei, saying arrogantly, "I don't care what rules you have, I, Wang Chao, do things openly and aboveboard, with a clear conscience!"

"The two of you are not qualified to accept my apology."

"Now, I'll give you ten seconds to consider. First, get out of my way like dogs, or I'll send you flying with a punch!"

"Choose!"
