Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Tricolored Imperial Jade

"What... why are there two colors?"

"Red, green... If it were two separate gemstones, that would be one thing, but if it's a single stone, then this guy, he's struck it rich!"

"Although this raw stone is quite large, the likelihood that it could contain two stones is small, I reckon, this is very likely to be a single stone."

Everyone was stunned; the two colors were just too dazzling.

"Young man, I'll give you two billion for that raw stone, how about it?"

"Crap, three billion!"

"Never mind whether it's one stone or two, even if there are two, it's worth more than two billion. Three billion is too low; I bid five billion!"

Although Ye Ling had no intention of selling since he was gambling against Gao Ning this time, many people still started bidding.

The mingling glow of red and green was truly too tempting.

Wang Ningmei stood behind Ye Ling, her fiery little mouth agape, a sense of regret rising in her heart.

If only she had known the quality of this batch of raw stones was so high, even if she had done the cutting herself!

The raw stone Ye Ling held, though priced at five million, had already received bids up to five billion, and coupled with Ye Ling's earlier Heart Sphere Bead, Wang Ningmei instantly felt she had lost out big.

But that's the way business goes. Taking the raw stone bought for five million as an example, Wang Ningmei had only paid one million for it, and just flipping it had earned her a four million profit.

If Ye Ling hadn't cut anything good, Wang Ningmei would have definitely made a profit.

But now that something good had been cut, she felt as though she had made a loss.

However, Wang Ningmei, true to her role as the boss lady, didn't feel any regret but instead smiled at Ye Ling, "Little brother, it looks like you're going to make a fortune here at your sister's place today..."

Ye Ling smiled faintly, "What do you mean, Mei sister?"

Wang Ningmei's face took on a seductive charm, and she cooed, "Little brother, you're going to make at least a few tens of billions today, right? About that ten million from your sister..."

"Haha, sure!"

Ye Ling was also very happy, swept his arm grandly, and said, "Today I did indeed make some money off Mei sister, so I'll help with that favor. As for the ten million, I'll consider it my treat for inviting Mei sister for a drink!"

"Then sister thanks you!"

Wang Ningmei's eyes creased into happy crescent moons.

"Sir, do we... keep cutting?" asked the master cutter, trembling.

He felt even more excited internally, having cut so many raw stones here over the years without seeing a Heart Sphere Bead or dual-colored jade, yet today he encountered both.

If another cut was made, would a new color appear?

He really wanted to try cutting again but didn't dare to do so recklessly since the stone belonged to Ye Ling.

"Master cutter, do you want to cut?" Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ye Ling smiled slightly, drew another line on the raw stone, and said, "Then cut here, give it another try."

"Alright!"

The cutter was overjoyed and made the cut.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, even Gao Ning, who was on the edge of his seat, started breathing rapidly.

"Whoosh!"

Indeed, whether it was due to Ye Ling's incredible luck or if he was just feigning ignorance, either way, this cut unleashed another burst of light.

And this light was completely different from the previous two.

This time, it was golden yellow.

"Holy shit, three colors?!"

"This motherf... I've been gambling on stones for so many years and I've never seen a raw stone with three colors!"

"It's crazy, am I dreaming or what?"

"Could this be the legendary tricolor jade stone?"

"If it's tricolor jade, it's extremely rare in the whole jade world. If it were taken to an auction, wouldn't it be worth a few billion at least?"

Everyone was exclaiming, but this time, no one made an offer.

Because they all knew they couldn't afford it.

Even if they bankrupted themselves, they couldn't afford such a stone. Explore stories on m,v l'-NovelFire

Wang Ningmei even showed a wry smile and said to Ye Ling, "Little brother, with that piece of jade, you've made more profit than my entire shop is worth. I'm going to take a huge loss today."

"Ning Mei, you're in business too. You should know the rules, right?" Ye Ling said.

Wang Ningmei immediately showed a smile, "I was just kidding, you took it seriously?"

"I was really afraid you'd go back on your word." Ye Ling laughed.

If Wang Ningmei really dared to go back on her word, Ye Ling wouldn't mind dismantling her shop.

At this moment, Gao Ning was utterly dumbfounded.

He just couldn't figure out if it was his bad luck today or what?

He cut a piece of jade worth seven or eight hundred thousand, Ye Ling cut one worth over a hundred million.

He cut one worth over a hundred million, Ye Ling cut one worth tens of billions, determined to bankrupt him?

"Master, no need to cut anymore, just polish it for me," Ye Ling said to the craftsman.

Upon hearing this, the craftsman nodded, feeling a small sense of disappointment for some reason.

He was still thinking that if he cut once more, he might reveal another color.

Working busily, the craftsmen took about half an hour to finish polishing the raw stone.

Everyone held their breath at that moment, solely because of the jade stone in Ye Ling's hands.

This was a piece of jade that had three colors, resembling glazed glass: the splendor of gold, red, and green intertwined, with dazzling colors that mesmerized.

Even more, they could feel a thick spiritual energy emanating from the jade stone.

"It really is tricolor jade..."

"Gao Fatty is completely done for today. This piece of jade has got to start at several billion, possibly over a hundred billion. Who would've thought that this poor kid who drives a Chery would have such incredible luck."

"You still think it's just luck? He has cut jade worth over a billion twice in a row, and with this piece of tricolor jade, he made just three cuts, each barely scraping by. Clearly, he's an expert."

"True, I didn't expect someone so low-profile. But this kid is too young, isn't he? How are we old-timers in the jade gambling world supposed to feel?"

"We'll have to ask him for advice in the future."

Everyone's gaze towards Ye Ling was filled with respect, the previous scorn had totally vanished.

Putting aside whether Ye Ling was an expert, just by selling this piece of tricolor jade, he would be close to joining the ranks of billionaires. Just in terms of the amount of money, they no longer dared to look down on Ye Ling.

"I thought it was the five-colored Emperor Jade..."

Ye Ling muttered to himself, "It's a bit of a pity. If this jade could have been left for a thousand or hundred years more, it could have grown into the five-colored Emperor Jade, but it's been mined now."

Five-colored Emperor Jade was a type of jade Ye Ling had seen in the Cultivation Realm, much rarer than spirit stones.

"However, the spiritual energy within this piece of tricolor Emperor Jade should be enough to help me break through to the middle stage of Houtian. I never imagined that Earth, with its thin spiritual energy, could still produce tricolor Emperor Jade."

Ye Ling was in high spirits as he turned to look at Gao Ning, who had a pallid face.

"Boss Gao, you're a big shot, and your word has to count. It should be clear to you who won and who lost between us. That 500 million... can be transferred now, right?"
