Chapter 119: The Imperial Green Appears Again!
"Another piece of trash!"
Ye Feng stood before Number Eighty-Eight Raw Stone, his brows locked in a frown as he shook his head in disappointment.
Since Number Twenty-Five Raw Stone, he had already examined over sixty pieces in a row.
Among them, the majority were worthless scraps!
But even so, he still discovered three raw stones with decent potential: Number Thirty-Seven, Number Fifty-Two, and Number Seventy-Nine!
These three all shared a common trait: their exteriors were ugly and their starting bids were very low, yet they hid decent quality jade inside!
"When the Auction starts later, these few are worth paying close attention to."
Ye Feng pondered secretly, then continued walking forward.
When he reached Number Ninety-Two Raw Stone, he immediately furrowed his brows.
Here, dozens of people had actually gathered to watch!
Ye Feng curiously squeezed into the crowd, and the next moment, he was so shocked his mouth hung wide open!
There, placed on the display stand, was a giant raw stone over two meters tall!
Although the surface of this raw stone was pitted and covered in cracks, such a massive volume was truly rare in the world of stone gambling!
"With a chunk this big, if it doesn't yield something good, then it really would be hellish!"
Ye Feng muttered to himself, then activated the Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, wanting to investigate the truth.
However, the moment the divine eye touched the raw stone, a sharp pain suddenly struck!
Ye Feng's vision went black, and the next moment, the effect of the divine eye had strangely vanished!
"What is going on?"
Ye Feng rubbed his sore, swollen eyes and tried to activate the divine eye to look again.
Although there was no sharp pain this time, he was shocked to discover that he was completely unable to see through this raw stone!
Immediately, he turned his head to look at other raw stones, and the divine eye's effect was still valid!
Only this giant raw stone seemed to be shrouded by some mysterious power, completely blocking his investigation.
"Interesting..."
A flash of sharp light crossed Ye Feng's eyes as he secretly noted down the number of this raw stone.
He vaguely felt that this stone was definitely not simple!
Just as he was stunned, a slender hand suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Hey! What are you spacing out for?"
Lei Qianqian had appeared behind him at some point, blinking her large eyes as she asked, "Did you find any good stuff?"
Ye Feng came back to his senses and nodded, saying, "There are a few that caught my eye!"
"That's not bad, but forget about those for now; I've found a top-tier piece, come help me weigh it up!"
Lei Qianqian did not pay much attention to Ye Feng's words, instead pulling his arm and walking toward the outer perimeter without allowing for argument.
Ye Feng felt a sense of weightlessness, and the next moment, he was dragged straight through the crowd.
Passing through the bustling crowd, Ye Feng was pulled along by Lei Qianqian's arm as they jogged.
"Slow down, slow down, my young lady!"
Ye Feng smiled helplessly: "Where are you taking me?"
Lei Qianqian did not look back: "Less talk, just follow me!"
The two took many turns, finally stopping before a display stand packed tight by dozens of people.
Ye Feng looked up and was shocked to find the Jade King Ouyang Yuanxiu and his grandson Ouyang Zhengyi standing in the center of the crowd.
"Make way! Make way!"
Lei Qianqian squeezed forward without any courtesy; the people around were just about to get angry, but after seeing it was her, they all retreated in frustration.
After squeezing to the front row, Lei Qianqian excitedly pointed at a round, smooth raw stone: "It's this one!"
"Hurry and help me see if this one can yield something good!"
Ye Feng looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw two raw stones placed side by side on the stand:
One was the one Lei Qianqian pointed to, its surface as smooth as a pebble.
The other was pitch black, only the size of a fist, and looked completely unremarkable.
He calmly activated the Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, his gaze falling upon the round raw stone.
A moment later, a faint green glow emerged in his field of vision.
This was a Clear Water Green quality, about the size of two fists, with a market price of around one million.
"Not bad!"
Ye Feng nodded, his gaze sweeping to the price tag, and his brows immediately furrowed: "Nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred? This price..."
"How is it? Is it worth buying?"
Seeing Ye Feng nod, Lei Qianqian asked impatiently.
Just as Ye Feng was about to answer, Ouyang Zhengyi from the side suddenly interjected: "Yo, isn't this the kid from earlier who had his eye on the scrap?"
"You learn fast, knowing to follow my grandfather's eye!"
Beside him, Ouyang Yuanxiu stroked his white beard, a look of gratification appearing on his face, seemingly quite proud of his influence.
Ye Feng ignored Ouyang Zhengyi's mockery and said to Lei Qianqian: "This raw stone is indeed not bad, but the price is too high; in the end, you won't make much money!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent.
Ouyang Zhengyi's expression instantly turned gloomy: "You amateur, how dare you say the raw stone my grandfather picked is worthless!"
Ouyang Yuanxiu's smile also stiffened on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly somewhat displeased.
Ye Feng ignored their reactions and turned his gaze toward the small, pitch-black raw stone.
He secretly activated his Heavenly Sun Divine Eye, and the moment the divine eye's gaze pierced through the stone skin, a dazzling deep green light suddenly erupted, stinging his eyes with pain!
"This is... Imperial Green!"
Ye Feng felt a shock in his heart and hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
He saw that this pitch-black Raw Stone actually concealed a piece of Imperial Green!
Although it was only the size of an infant's fist, its purity was extremely high, and its value was at least five million or more!
What was even more surprising was that its asking price was actually only three thousand!
He quietly tugged at Lei Qianqian's sleeve and said in a low voice, "That small one on the side is more worth buying!"
Although the voice was very soft, it was still heard by the sharp-eared Ouyang Zhengyi.
As soon as he heard this, he immediately laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha! You actually think this kind of trash is good?"
"You brat, you really can't change your dog-like nature!"
To the side, Ouyang Yuanxiu also shook his head in disappointment, and the sense of pride from just a moment ago vanished instantly.
Seeing Ouyang Zhengyi constantly yapping like a dog, Lei Qianqian glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Shut your mouth!"
Afterward, she turned her head and said to the staff member, "Cut this black stone open for me!"
"Sister Qianqian!"
Ouyang Zhengyi widened his eyes in disbelief: "He is just a half-baked amateur, how can you believe him?"
"I'm happy to!"
Lei Qianqian snorted coldly, turned her head, and urged the staff member: "Cut it quickly!"
Ouyang Zhengyi's face turned livid, and he stared viciously at Ye Feng: "Good brat, if you can't cut out anything good, I'll see how you end up in the end!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng just glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything more.
After all, for people who like to yap like dogs, the final outcome is always inevitably getting slapped in the face!
On the other side, the staff member carefully secured the Raw Stone onto the cutting machine.
As the harsh sound of cutting rang out, everyone's gaze focused on that unremarkable black stone.
"Szz..."
The saw blade slowly cut into the stone skin, splashing a string of sparks.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed onlooker exclaimed: "Green... green!"
"My god, it's actually Imperial Green!"
