Chapter 626: 100% Right! Dumbfounded!

The excitement soared, and some people gave a resounding round of applause as soon as the verdict came.

“Sigh, what a pity... Such a good jade had been categorized as trash...”

The stone was palm-sized. The stone master carelessly placed his first cut at about four centimeters from the side of the rock. He gave up the small piece for the big piece. To his surprise, there was jade at both sides!

“How is this possible? It was impossible for it to have jade...” That experienced stone master was completely shocked. These were definitely emerald grade. His face became ghastly pale, and he was simply unable to believe his eyes.

This stone master with the surname Peng was very honest. He was usually very quiet, but he was the best stone master that Yu Ding Xuan had to offer. He was here to cut the King of Stones.

“Sigh, I haven’t missed in many years. I didn’t expect to stumble on such a small stone...” Face value was of paramount importance to Master Peng.

Comparing that to Ling Yun’s surrounding dead silence!

No one dared to breathe. Their eyes and mouths were opened as wide as possible!

Of course, that excluded Ling Yun, Long Wu, and Tie Xiaohu.

“Good luck?”

The Lord of Jade took a step back, almost losing his footing. He felt as though a piece of megalithic stone, such as the King of Stones, was pressing down on him.

The Lord of Jade had seen much over his years of stone gambling, but who had such good luck?

“There’s jade in the very first piece? And it’s ice jade?” Han Laosan’s face turned pale as well. His attention was immediately directed to the stone cutting area.

“I’ll cut the stone...” Han Laosan shouted wildly. He had loved stones for his entire life, and he understood stones better than he understood himself... or so he thought! A stone he thought would never contain jade actually had jade inside it!

“There’s really jade inside? How’s that possible?” Murong Feixue forgot to shield her gaping mouth. She started towards the crowd but stopped and turned back to Ling Yun.

What kind of good luck did this arrogant Ling Yun possess?

Murong Wenshi and Song Zhengyang’s reactions topped everyone else, especially Song Zhengyang! His body shook as though lightning struck him!

Why? Song Zhengyang knew this wasn’t the first stone Ling Yun selected, but the second piece. He was confident that there was going to be some stones with emerald and some that were of the ice grade!

It wasn’t luck if both were present. It only presented a fact — Ling Yun was 100% right!

He looked at Ling Yun as though he was looking at a monster, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.

“Someone who didn’t use his brain? Mad? That’s not possible!” Song Zhengyang said to himself secretly.

He was also waiting for the results from the next stone. It was slower this time.

The stone master switched to Han Laosan, and he cut it meticulously.

The crowd held their breath, and all eyes were glued onto the stone in Han Laosan’s hand.

“I see it... Oh my god... it contains jade as well...”

“It’s only one centimeter deep...”

“This young chap is going to be rich...”

“Boss Han, please hold your hand steady, don’t spoil the jade again...”

Han Laosan felt sweat drip down his body when he saw definite proof that there would be jade. Both palms were wet and shaky.

A scary thought popped into his mind — no one had such good luck!

After three minutes of menacing mechanical sounds, another exclamation came through. “Oh my god, there’s jade again!”

“This time, it’s glass jade!”

“Such a big piece and he has only shaved off two centimeters... This is going to be mind-blowing...”

“Again, 100% right on the mark!”

The crowd was going crazy! There were only three people in the entire Antique Market in Qingshui City who were able to pick such high-grade jades in succession.

Song Zhengyang, Han Laosan, and the Lord of Jade!

Even they had to nitpick carefully before they could get such a high hit rate with raw jade stones.

“Oh my gosh, this guy is amazing, simply amazing! He has such good luck!”

“I was just saying he was arrogant. It turns out that he isn’t!”

“In that case, the next raw stone might also contain jade...”

“I don’t think so. Who has such good luck? He closed one eye and struck the lottery!”

Everyone looked at Ling Yun in a different light now that the second raw jade stone contained glass jade — and the best kind glass jade there was!

Han Laosan cut the lead sized jade raw stone, revealing a glass jade the size of an apple. It had very good quality and texture. The color was even, soft and translucent. The color was enough to make anyone salivate!

“This can be sculpted into an apple or a longevity peach immediately. Even though the price would be better if it were made into a longevity peach, there would be a lot of wasted jade...”

This came from an excited, knowledgeable stone gambler.

Song Zhengyang’s body swayed in excitement after he heard the verdict!

Song Zhengyang knew by now that all five stones that Ling Yun chose would contain jade! Perhaps all three cartloads of raw stones selected by Ling Yun might contain high-grade jade!

Wouldn’t he be rich?

“Ling Yun, you have to sell all these jades to our Tianxi Pavilion...”

Murong Wenshi couldn’t get another word out. He had lost consecutively in his past few gambles, costing him tens of millions of yuan. He was running out of supplies. Why wouldn’t he enjoy the benefits of a favorable position?

“Grandpa Murong, don’t worry. I said before, I’m only buying the stones. I don’t care if they have jade in them or not. Let’s not talk about transactions, it’ll pull us too far apart...” Ling Yun replied impishly as he caressed Long Wu’s soft body.

Murong Feixue was unable to contain her shock this time!

The third jade wasn’t green, it was a sheep-fat white jade!

The fourth...

And the fifth...

The whole place fell silent. There was no more praise or applause...

There was no need for those. All five of the “trashy” stones had brilliant, high-quality jade in them! Their value had increased more than tenfold!

The first stone might have been luck, while the second stone might have been impressive, but the fifth? It could only be a miracle.

Three carts, more than two hundred stones. If they used sixty million yuan to calculate, it would be about three hundred thousand yuan each. How much would it be worth if all of them contained jade?

Moreover, Ling Yun had the King of Stones. Most people only looked in three directions once the fifth stone was done.

A part of them looked at Ling Yun, and another part of them looked at the three cartloads, but most of them turned towards the King of Stones!

“There should be jade in it?”

“Should be?”

“All five of them have jade in them, it’s really 100% accuracy...”

“There must be some jade in such a huge stone, right?”

“This is really going to be a treasure to ward off evil spirits!”

“But he doesn’t want to cut it...”

The Lord of Jade and Song Zhengyang’s gazes were locked onto Ling Yun from the beginning. The meaning that they conveyed in their eyes was a lot more interesting.

They couldn’t have been more wrong!

The Lord of Jade never felt so bitter in his life. His heart felt as though there was a ton of bricks weighing down on it. He couldn’t get a word out.

Song Zhengyang, on the other hand, seemed to be gazing at Ling Yun as though he was a rare piece of Imperial green jade himself!

“This lad is really marvelous. He was just playing around...”

Han Laosan walked over dizzily, leading the four or five staff members. He bowed respectfully to Ling Yun.

“I have been playing with stones my whole life. I always thought that I knew stones better than myself. Today, I finally know that there are experts outside of experts and a world outside my own. My respects!”

Ling Yun quickly pulled Han Laosan up. “I’m not that great. Boss Han, I said that I’m only buying the stones. You were the ones who wanted to cut them. I had no choice. It’s all too coincidental. Perhaps only these five stones have jade in them?”

No one believed Ling Yun’s words. How could there be such a coincidence?

After a moment of silence, everyone applauded and shouted in unison.

“King of Stones!”

“King of Stones!”

“King of Stones!”

The energy from the uproar created ripples on the Qingshui Lake one kilometer away!

Given the momentum of events, it wasn’t possible for Ling Yun not to cut the King of Stones now. The crowd would chase him back to his home to get an answer!
