The surrounding crowd was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Then, a wave of whispers quickly turned into an uproar!
"What? Did I hear wrongly?! The Lord of Jade is giving his Green Dragon Out at Sea to Ling Yun? "
"This … It cost two hundred million yuan to buy it. The highest price was four hundred million yuan. The Lord of Jade wasn't even willing to sell it. Now, he's giving it away for free?"
"Just for a chance to cut it open on the spot? That guy's luck is really good, but that King of Stones might not have jade inside, right? "
"That's right. If it's really a piece of trash, then the Lord of Jade will have lost a lot …"
"He's already lost a lot. He sold three carts of raw stones to Ling Yun at a premium of eighty million yuan, and every piece had jade inside. Now, he's giving it away for free …"
"He was so stingy just now, and now he's so generous. The Lord of Jade is really unpredictable …"
"Can't you understand? The Lord of Jade is obviously making friends with that guy … "
There were all kinds of discussions. However, the people present didn't say much after listening to the conversation between Ling Yun and the Lord of Jade. They each had their own understanding.
Song Zhengyang had been dealing with the Lord of Jade for a long time. He understood the Lord of Jade the best and could easily read his mind.
The Lord of Jade was a businessman, but he wasn't a bad person.
All jade had some spiritual energy. No matter how good the jade was, it needed to be nurtured. Bad people wouldn't be able to nurture it.
Legend has it that jade or jade, no matter the price, as long as the owner carries it with them all year round and takes good care of it, every time the owner of the jade encounters a disaster, the jade will sacrifice itself to protect its owner.
Sometimes, people who carried jade with them all year round would find that their jade had inexplicably had a crack on it even though it had not encountered any collision or heavy blow. This was because the jade they wore had blocked a calamity or a disaster for them.
The Lord of Jade loved jade all his life, so he naturally believed in this.
At the start, Ling Yun said that he wanted to buy the Lord of Jade's three carts of trash and the King of Trash's Stone King. The Lord of Jade was afraid that he would be fooled, so he followed the rules of the gambling house and purposely offered a high price to test Ling Yun.
The Lord of Jade didn't hesitate to anger Song Zhengyang and Murong Wenshi because of this.
This was because stone gambling depended on affinity. Every person who gambled would only be willing to spend money to buy a raw stone if they believed that there would be jade in it.
The Lord of Jade knew that Ling Yun's purchase of three carriages might be considered trash in the eyes of others, but not necessarily in Ling Yun's eyes. Song Zhengyang's men weren't fools.
Since he was doing business, he naturally had to follow the rules of doing business. He couldn't lose out, right?
The Lord of Jade had to guarantee that he wouldn't regret selling these three carts of stones, even if all three carts of stones contained Imperial jade. This was also the gambling house's rule.
Of course, he allowed Ling Yun to bargain. The Lord of Jade's bottom line was actually forty million yuan. Song Zhengyang's reputation and another ten million yuan would be enough to sell it to Ling Yun for a total of thirty million yuan.
However, the Lord of Jade didn't expect Ling Yun to pay the bill without hesitation when he called out eighty million yuan.
At this time, no matter who it was, they would feel that the Lord of Jade had gone overboard and that Ling Yun had been treated unjustly just because of their skills and experience in stone gambling.
However, both Ling Yun and the Lord of Jade accepted it. Song Zhengyang understood the logic behind it. Gambling was like this. Before the stone was cut open, it was done blindfolded. Both parties felt that they had profited. That was all that mattered.
Before Ling Yun agreed to cut open the stones, everyone thought that Ling Yun was the one at a disadvantage. However, when the first, second, and third stones came out …
After five pieces of jade ore that were deemed to be trash were cut out to reveal high-grade jade, almost everyone knew that the real suckers were the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan. Ling Yun's business was a business that was guaranteed to be profitable.
The tables turned in an instant. Everyone felt that Ling Yun had profited greatly, and the Lord of Jade had made a mistake this time.
However, the rules of the gambling house still applied. Since the Lord of Jade had sold the three carts of waste to Ling Yun at a high price, it would belong to Ling Yun even if Ling Yun cut out a treasure bowl. It had nothing to do with them anymore.
That was because they had already earned the profits they deserved. They were selling raw materials. The only problem was that they had set the price according to their own judgment. Relatively speaking, they only earned less.
The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan finally understood that they had met an expert. That was why the Lord of Jade bowed to Ling Yun three times. This was out of respect and admiration for Ling Yun.
There was an order to one's knowledge, and there were specializations. In any profession, the skilled would be the master. This principle had never changed.
The Lord of Jade knew that the top-quality red jade was worth at least one billion yuan after seeing it, and it was only one-fifth of the "Super Tanghulu".
From the looks of it, this Super Tanghulu was definitely the king of stones. It could be ranked in the top ten or even top three among all the precious stones in Huaxia.
At the same time, it also meant that in the blink of an eye, Ling Yun's net worth had increased by at least five billion yuan, regardless of his previous net worth.
This wasn't the only reason why the Lord of Jade valued Ling Yun. More importantly, it was because of Ling Yun's ability to identify jade. How could an ordinary person be able to casually pick up a piece of waste and turn it into something magical?
Even the Lord of Jade and Song Zhengyang couldn't do it. Even Han Laosan and Murong Wenshi couldn't compare to Ling Yun.
It could be said that all the stones in the Lord of Jade's yard, including the top-grade red jade, were nothing compared to Ling Yun's discerning eyes. There were many stones, but Ling Yun was the only one.
Therefore, someone with a discerning eye had already said that the Lord of Jade had a strong desire to befriend Ling Yun.
Since Ling Yun had achieved a hundred percent accuracy in the previous rounds, the biggest gimmick was about to appear. Would the King of Stones, which was considered to be the king of trash, have any jade in it?
Song Zhengyang dared to guarantee that the Lord of Jade wouldn't be able to have a good night's sleep if the King of Stones wasn't cut open on the spot. This would become a mental obstacle for him forever.
He had to befriend Ling Yun, cut open the King of Stones, and Ling Yun needed a treasure to guard the house. The Lord of Jade might as well do Ling Yun a favor and give the Green Dragon Out at Sea to Ling Yun.
In order to befriend Ling Yun and increase his net worth by a few billion yuan, what was the big deal about giving up a special stone that he bought for two hundred million yuan?
Everyone was happy.
Which one of the people in the center of the field wasn't a genius? Therefore, no one said anything. They were all secretly admiring the Lord of Jade's generosity and waiting for the King of Stones to come.
Ling Yun had obtained the Green Dragon Out at Sea. He naturally wouldn't stop the Lord of Jade from sending people to cut open the King of Stones.
At this time, the Lord of Jade smiled and said, "Little brother, you know that this King of Stones is sold separately. It's five hundred thousand for ten centimeters, so that people who gamble on stones can cut it as they like. It's just for the excitement."
Ling Yun nodded with a smile. "That's right, your friend told me about it before. What do you mean, Lord of Jade? "
"What I mean is, since this King of Stones was bought by Little Brother, can I invite you to cut it open yourself?" The Lord of Jade smiled casually.
So he's trying to kill me! The Lord of Jade wants to see me cut open the stone personally. How would I know how to do that?
"No problem!"
Ling Yun wanted to reject her casually, but he looked at the time and realized that the sky was getting dark. He still had a lot of things to do and was in a hurry. Therefore, he agreed readily.
It was just cutting open the stone. To Ling Yun, it would only take one strike.
Seeing that Ling Yun had agreed, the Lord of Jade laughed happily. He immediately cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! This little brother just said that he will personally cut open the King of Stones that he bought!"
This shout was heard by the thousands of people in the courtyard. Instantly, everyone was excited. Heads started moving in the direction of the King of Stones.
Ling Yun shook his head with a bitter smile. The Lord of Jade said again, "Guys, move the stone cutting machine!"
The King of Stones naturally couldn't be moved. It was a few tons, and it was too troublesome. Therefore, they still had to move the stone cutting machine.
Ling Yun didn't want the trouble, so he immediately rejected. "No need, I have my ways."
Without another word, he walked toward the King of Stones. At this moment, the King of Stones that had been forgotten for a long time, after a year of neglect, once again became the center of attention.
The security guards had already moved the battlefield when they saw that Ling Yun was going to cut open the King of Stones. However, the surrounding area was filled with piles of raw jade stones, so the space was much smaller. Many people stood on top of the pile of stones.
Ling Yun quickly came to the side of the King of Stones. Naturally, Long Wu was next to him. Behind him were Song Zhengyang, Murong Wenshi, the Lord of Jade, Han Laosan, and the rest. Their expressions were one of anticipation, passion, excitement, and anxiety …
Tie Xiaohu and the seven or eight underlings of Green Dragon didn't follow. They were guarding the three carts of raw stones carefully, not daring to leave.
"Everyone, please stay further away. I'm very fast, I just need a moment …"
Ling Yun said with a smile as he circled around the King of Stones that was as tall as him.
With that, Ling Yun took half a step back with his back facing Song Zhengyang and the rest. He activated the Yin-Yang harmony balance and activated the Yin-Yang Eye to the extreme!
With a thought, the Dragon Vein Sword appeared in Ling Yun's hand. His arm shook like lightning!
"Whoosh!"
Ling Yun's movements were too fast. Everyone only saw a dazzling flash of cold light. It was as if a bolt of silver lightning had flashed past their eyes!
"Clang!"
A semi-circular piece of rock, the size of half a pot lid and two centimeters thick, fell from the highest point of the black boulder and smashed heavily on the ground.
The incision was emerald green, sparkling with green light. It was a shocking sight. It was filled with a transparent green color, as if it was about to flow out from the stone.
That was an enchanting imperial green … (To be continued.)
