“Congratulations.” After their transaction was completed, Lin Luo stepped forward and said with a smile.

“Thank you.” Han XinYu’s eyes lit up upon hearing him.

Lin Luo’s words meant that he was also optimistic about the piece of jadeite.

If red fog and scattered black tinea scabs were to appear on a piece of jadeite at the same time, it was indeed very likely that the gamble would collapse. The problem was that the black spots on the surface of the piece of jadeite weren’t actually black tinea scabs, but skin spots.

Skin spots were small black spots on the stones that usually grew along with jadeite. It had some things in common with tinea scabs, for example both were black and grew with jadeite. As such, skin spots were often mistaken for tinea scabs.

What most people didn’t notice though was that tinea scabs were a black-blue, while skin spots were black-green. Additionally, tinea scabs were less transparent than skin spots and came in a wider variety of shapes whereas skin spots only came in small dots. Furthermore, tinea scabs didn’t require jadeite, but skin spots did, so stones with skin spots would absolutely contain jade and as such had a higher chance of being cut into a winning bet.

There was even a saying in the industry that “spots produce high green,” which also explained the benefits of skin spots.

Just now, Han XinYu first noticed the red fog on the cut surface, and then noticed the suspicious spots of black tinea scabs before he became interested in this piece of jadeite.

The price offered by the stall owner showed that he did not see the true value of this piece of jadeite and just treated it as ordinary jadeite, but when someone asked the price, he habitually named a high price. After some bargaining, the transaction was finally concluded and everyone was able to walk away happy.

The Han family was also a family with some background, so Han XinYuan also had a space button. He put his brother’s jadeite into the space button. Once the shopping was over, they would go to the stone cutting area to cut it together.

At this time, He Kun and the others also came back.

“Xiao Luo, we really saw it!” As Lin Luo said, they found white cotton in the white fog. Just looking at jadeite casually, Lin Luo took a few glances and discovered the problem. Meanwhile, they looked at it for a long time but still didn’t see any clues. There was no point in comparing to Lin Luo; it would only make them upset themselves.

“Look more, learn more, and you will get better slowly over time.” Lin Luo said with a smile.

His words weren’t to comfort them, but to seriously describe his own experience. It’s just that he had one more special ability than them which allowed him to immediately test his judgment after reading jadeite. Every time he looked at a piece of jadeite it was equal to cutting a piece of jadeite, so his progress was inordinately fast.

Regardless of his short time in the industry, the experience he had actually accumulated was no less than the number of people who had been in the industry for a few years.

Lin Luo had roughly seen all the jadeite in the stall and chose two pieces to ask about. Except for the piece of jadeite that Han XinYu bought, there were basically no material that would increase greatly. The two pieces he chose were only a hibiscus type and an oil green type, but the stall owner was too greedy and the price was too high, which took him out of the mood to buy them.

“Come on, let’s go to another booth to see.” Lin Luo said to the others.

“Okay.” Naturally, He Kun and the others had no objection. Since Lin Luo had already seen this stall, there couldn’t have been any fish slipping through the net waiting for them to catch them. It was better to go to other stalls to try their luck.

Before their small group had walked far, one of the stall owners greeted the Han brothers.

“Two gentlemen, do you want to take a look at this half-gambled jadeite?” The stall owner just saw they bought a half gambled red fog jadeite at another stall. Thinking that they were the kind of people who liked to bet on fog, he also promoted his material.

What he held in his hand was a piece of old pit jadeite with rust skin, but the skin color was more ashen than rust colored. If the skin had a deeper color it might have possibly been able to be better than the average stone of this type and be a better gamble. This piece of jadeite had also been opened to reveal a black fog layer, which increased the risk of the piece of jadeite a lot.

“Gentlemen, what do you think? This piece of material was mined from the old field. Although a black fog layer was cut into, the black fog may also produce high green! Not to mention the fact that there are as many pine flowers as pythons on the surface, making it very hopeful that the bet will rise! If you want, you can take it away for as long as 80,000!” The stall owner was really good at doing business, and his silver tongue nearly ascended his jadeite right into the sky.

However, the two of them laughed and said nothing. It was that the piece of jadeite had pine flowers on the surface, but they were actually ant pine flowers. Ant pine flowers were distributed on the husk in intermittent lines with slender particles, just like ants marching. This kind of pine flower indicated that the jade inside was very likely to be in patchy deposits, so it wasn’t a bonus at all, and could only fool the novice players.

However, Lin Luo came up to take a look with interest, then looked at the Han brothers with a smile and asked, “Don’t you want it?”

After hearing the meaning of his words, both of them were stunned.
