Because Lin Luo’s last piece of jadeite fell apart, there were fewer people watching around them, which made Lin Luo feel a little more relaxed when cutting his stone.

Lin Luo carefully drew a line on the surface of the jadeite, waiting for the stone cutting machine to automatically cut along the line he drew.

“You’re going to cut into this jadeite immediately as soon as you start?” Zhao XiaoLei whispered suspiciously.

Mountain stone jadeite generally don’t have a very thick skin, so normally when cutting them you would use a grinding wheel to aim at the position of the pine flowers and slowly grind away at them to find the position of the jade. It is rare to cut directly like Lin Luo was.

“Xiao Luo should have his own judgment based on the pine flower’s shape and direction. Let’s not disturb him.” Xu Jian also replied in a low voice.

“There are a lot of pine flowers on this piece of jadeite, but if you look closely, you can find that the colors of these pine flowers aren’t the same. The pine flowers in the upper part are darkly colored and rigid, indicating that the jade has not been corroded away which is very good gambling. Meanwhile this side has mildewed pine flowers which make it a bad gamble. Although the color of the pine flowers on the lower part is light and inconspicuous it can be considered a needle pine flower, so I think the jade should actually be in the lower part.” Lin Luo happened to hear the conversation between the two. Since he was waiting for the stone-cutting machine to complete the automatic stone cut anyway, he decided to answer Zhao XiaoLei’s question.

With a sound of ‘bzzt,’ the jadeite was cut nearly in half. When the cut surface was cleaned, a small piece of crystal-clear green was revealed. Meanwhile small piece of jadeite that was cut off only showed a layer of bare stone.

This knife cut can be said to have been very accurate.

Zhao XiaoLei whispered and picked up the small piece of jadeite that had been cut off on the ground and observed it carefully. As Lin Luo said, the large pine flowers were just mildewed pine flowers on the surface…

“Wow, Xiao Luo, you are really amazing.” Zhao XiaoLei sincerely admired Lin Luo’s excellent observations and solid foundation skills.

Lin Luo shook his head and said, “It was just good luck.”

“Haha, yes yes yes, you are the Son of Miracles!”

Zhao XiaoLei thought that Lin Luo was just being humble, and played along with a smile, but little did he know that Lin Luo really felt that he was just lucky.

His good luck all began when he met Xing Mo…

Since he met Xing Mo, he had been able to heal his eyes and awaken his ability, which is how he has been able to get to this point at all.

But these kinds of feelings were the ones he kept hidden in the depths of his own heart. He felt no need to share them with others.

Since that the jade had been cut out it would be easy to damage the jade flesh if they continue to cut the stone, so Lin Luo changed the chrome knife to the grinding wheel and started grinding the stone.

As more and more jade came out, people were finally able to judge the quality of the jade inside.

“Ice type, it’s an ice type!”

“It seems to be a blue flower ice jade?” Blue flower ice jade is a more common type of ice jade. Under the sunlight, it looks green with floating clouds and ribbons of blue. It’s not that this jadeite contains water elements, but because the green is too deep it looks blue under the refraction of light.

This blue flower ice usually represents the rich wood elements in the jade, so the value of the jade is usually higher than that of ordinary green jade.

“Yes, yes, it’s blue flower ice jade. There is still a lot of this jadeite left to cut, so there may be more inside of it.”

“The bet has gone up again. This Lin Luo is really amazing.”

In the end, Lin Luo finished cutting a piece of blue flower ice jade that weighed almost 4 to 5 kilograms, and Andre bought it for 8.4 million.

Lin Luo’s fourth piece of jade to be cut was a rare piece of red wax skin jadeite. Red wax skin jadeite is different from bacon skin jadeite in that while bacon skin jadite is a water stone jadeite, red wax skin jadeite is a mountain stone jadeite that is produced in the deepest bottom layer of the ore vein.

The skin of the matrix stone is hard and smooth, as if it is coated with a shiny wax shell, and the outer layer is as red as if it were coated with paint, so it is also called a painted skin stone.

The skin on this kind of jadeite varies in thickness, but the internal jade is usually very good. It not only has good crystal structure, but is also prone to saturated colors. Therefore, this jadeite is also regarded as a ‘star jadeite’. Lin Luo paid a lot of money to win this jadeite.

“Ah, it’s this piece of jadeite… I increased the price three times, but I still didn’t get it. Lin Luo was really determined.”

“Me too!” Sure enough, there were many people who liked this piece of jadeite.

“What’s the highest rate you bid?”

“12 million.”

“I bid 14 million, but it seems that it still wasn’t high enough…”

These people who bid high prices but did not get the jadeite all looked at Lin Luo’s jadeite with complicated eyes. On one hand they hoped that there would be a good jade in it, but at the same time they didn’t want this good jade to be won by someone else.

This piece of jadeite weighed more than 10 kilograms. If the stone was any good, it was very likely that Lin Luo would be able to at the very least win back his initial investment on the stone.
