"Activate perspective!"
Song Yun's eyes, after a brief second of swelling, found that he could see the essence of all things.
He glanced through the perspective at the small stone the old man was fiddling with in his hand, which contained a piece of red jade about half the size of a palm. Although its quality didn't match the imperial green jade Song Yun had just uncovered that morning, it was still far better than most on the market!
Song Yun was itching to get his hands on it, but the old man seemed preoccupied with his own viewing and had no intention of putting it down, forcing Song Yun to lower his head and search for other quality materials at the stone stall.
Most of the stones were empty, or rather just ordinary rocks that unscrupulous owners had brought over, posing as raw jade stones.
After looking through more than a dozen, Song Yun finally found a raw stone that contained what he wanted.
This stone was about the size of a soccer ball, and the jade inside, if flawlessly cut, could be half the size of a head.
On closer inspection of its quality, although not full, it was quite even, qualifying it as a fine piece.
"Boss, how much for this stone?"
Song Yun asked loudly.
The stall owner, who was squatting beside the old man with a flattering face, turned his head and glanced briefly before saying, "8000!"
"Can't it be a bit cheaper?"
"You must be a newbie, right? Forget it, forget it, I won't make money off this deal, just give me 6000."
The stall owner waved his hand impatiently. It was clear that all his attention was on the old man, and he couldn't care less about Song Yun, who he perceived to be green in the field.
Song Yun nodded and was about to take out his phone to make the payment.
Just then, the old man stood up, walked over to Song Yun, and pressed down on his phone's camera, saying, "Young man, this must be your first time dealing with this, right? I strongly advise you, the jade gambling scene is treacherous, and it's not just one newbie who's drowned in it."
"If you're just curious, I'd suggest you pick something cheaper. After all, the stone you're holding is just someone else's discarded material, not worth a penny."
Having said that, the old man turned to the stall owner and gave him a good scolding, "The jade gambling circle is already small, and you're not honest at all. Preying on newbies like this, what will people think of the folks in this circle?"
The stall owner nodded and bowed subserviently, saying, "What you say is right, Elder. It's my fault, my fault. Young man, I'll give you this stone as a gift. If you want to gamble again, come back anytime."
Song Yun struggled to hold back his laughter but still transferred the money to the stall owner.
"What if there is jade inside this stone? Would the outcome be yours or mine?"
Hearing Song Yun's words, the old man sighed deeply. Having been in the circle for decades, he had seen too many people get rich quick with jade and then lose everything. These people were invariably too gambler-hearted!
This young fellow was beyond help!
"Listen to advice and you'll eat well; he's just too young."
The onlookers were discussing animatedly. In their eyes, Master Ding's words were as good as gold, yet Song Yun blatantly went against them.
The cutting machine buzzed continuously as the crowd waited to see Song Yun become the laughingstock.
When the cutting was finished and the stall owner splashed water on it, a great commotion arose from the crowd.
"It went up, it went up!"
The first stone that was deemed worthless by others actually revealed a piece of jade with excellent texture and water!
This was a huge surge!
The stall owner set off firecrackers, their crackling noise attracting many onlookers.
"Wow, Zhengyang jade! That's quite a sum of money!"
"I heard this young man bought a piece of scrap that nobody fancied. This is legendary!"
"It's making me itch to try. No, no, I should also give it a shot later!"
"Young man, are you planning to cut the second piece?"
At this moment, the stall owner's attitude towards Song Yun was extremely good, considering the stones were bought from his stall, which would undoubtedly draw more people to come by name.
Made money, made money!
"Let's cut it."
Song Yun said casually.
Then he took the Zhengyang jade and placed it in Ye Qingqing's palm. Qingqing looked at it fascinatedly, her eyes shining. Her husband was amazing, her husband was awesome!
The second stone began to be cut, and a crowd of people swallowed their saliva, waiting for the final result.
But some scoffed at the possibility, after all, getting it right once could be chalked up to dumb luck. How could the second piece be a hit too?
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "one cut poor, one cut rich, one cut dressed in burlap."
As the stone was cut open, people craned their necks to look.
"Red... red fei!"
"It surged greatly!"
"Holy shit!!! What's happening!!! How did it turn out to be red fei!!!"
