Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Supreme Purple Jade
Gu Jin very happily wrote a check for Old Xin.
The other party, with trembling hands, excitedly took the check to verify its authenticity.
An hour later.
Old Xin, beaming with a smile, returned with his subordinates to help Gu Jin move the selected stones out.
Since they were purchased, it was only natural to cut them open on the spot.
At the venue, someone was already cutting stones.
On the stone-cutting platform, the Jade Master was working on a stone with a very good surface quality.
Gu Jin glanced at it and said to An Mingji, who was more than a head taller than her, "This is a waste stone."
Standing to the side, Old Xin’s ears slightly twitched; he wanted to ask Gu Jin why she was so certain.
However, seeing the strong presence of the young man beside her, guarding like a wolf, he decided it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He instinctively felt that this young man was very dangerous.
Just because he didn’t ask didn’t mean Qiu Qianghai wouldn’t speak up.
Qiu Qianghai turned to Gu Jin and asked, "Are you so sure this is a waste stone?"
After probing the void and finding no colored gas or Spiritual Energy from the stone, Gu Jin confidently said, "Mm, there’s nothing inside."
Knowing her mysterious abilities, Qiu Qianghai naturally believed her words.
Everyone present looked forward to seeing what kind of jade this stone would produce, with many people watching closely.
The Jade Master quickly revealed the stone in its entirety.
To everyone’s disappointment, it was all just stone inside, without even the thinnest layer of jade.
"Waa waa waa—"
A wailing cry echoed in the hall.
A middle-aged man was seen sitting on the ground crying beside the stone-cutting platform.
Everyone knew this was the owner of the just-cut waste stone.
It seemed he had suffered a severe loss, otherwise he wouldn’t be so despondent.
Seeing the chaos, Old Xin immediately waved to the guards not far away.
The guards swiftly dragged the rioting middle-aged man out of the venue, their actions skilled and practiced.
Gu Jin, An Mingji, and Qiu Qianghai felt no pity whatsoever.
Everyone must bear the consequences of their actions.
They waited quietly.
There was a queue for stone cutting, with three stones ahead of them still awaiting their turn.
Old Xin, fearing they might tire from standing, specially had some chairs brought over.
Of the next three stones, one produced palm-sized jade, one thumb-sized jade, and the other was waste material, just like the first cutting they had seen.
Soon, it was time for the five stones chosen by Gu Jin to be cut.
Gu Jin, An Mingji, and Qiu Qianghai sat below the platform, casually watching the Jade Master above.
They occasionally chatted about something, their faces showing light, carefree smiles, without any anxiety over whether the stones on the platform would produce jade.
The Jade Master skillfully began cutting the stone.
As the master cut with a single stroke, a brilliant, dazzling color emerged from the blade.
"It’s revealed!"
"Top-grade Purple Jade revealed!"
"Oh my god! It’s actually top-grade Purple Jade!"
Clap, clap, clap!!
Clap, clap, clap—
The astonished shouts and enthusiastic applause of the crowd reached the ears of Gu Jin and the others.
They looked up towards the stone-cutting platform.
The Jade Master was visibly excited, his face showing intense emotion, his eyes filled with shock and amazement as he stared at the top-grade Purple Jade before him.
Old Xin naturally saw the scene on the platform as well, his whole body trembling with excitement.
Purple Jade, it was Purple Jade!
Today was the first day of the event; if word of this spread, this year’s trade fair would surely be a roaring success.
