"Don't cut into the green, if you cut out jade, then it's truly over!"
Qin Bingqin was extremely panicked. If she had known Li Yang was so unreliable, she absolutely would not have let Li Yang gamble with him earlier.
Now they were about to lose, yet Li Yang still looked cheerful.
Were all the things he said earlier just lies?
"It's... it's green!"
Old Zhang, halfway through cutting, suddenly shouted when he saw a hint of green appearing inside the jade.
*Swish!*
Qin Bingqin's despairing gaze instantly shifted. Indeed, she saw that jade had been cut from the raw stone. Moreover, its color was a vibrant green and transparent, resembling the highly precious Imperial Green.
"It's Imperial Green, a one-in-a-thousand Imperial Green! This Young Master Guo's gambling stone technique is too good."
"I used to think Mr. Li's gambling stone technique was already quite high, but I didn't expect this Young Master Guo to be the true master. Mr. Li is really far behind Young Master Guo."
The employees present could all see who was superior and who was inferior, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Guo Liang was extremely pleased with the result. Before the stone was even fully cut, he looked at Li Yang and said, "Kid, what do you have to say now?"
"My stone has produced jade, and it's the priceless Imperial Green. You've already lost."
"Don't rush. After you finish cutting, we can look at the results. It's not too late," Li Yang shrugged and said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Since you want to wait, I don't mind letting you be happy for a while longer. Anyway, you have no chance of winning against me today."
Guo Liang snorted and continued to look at the stone being cut.
After about three minutes, Guo Liang's chosen stone was completely cut open. Nearly half of it was Imperial Green jade. Such a large piece of Imperial Green was worth at least tens of millions.
This was truly enviable!
Many people had been in the gambling stone world for half their lives, only to end up losing everything.
Who didn't want to make a name for themselves in the gambling stone world, but their skills didn't allow it? Gambling stone techniques were not something ordinary people could master.
In the entire Jiangcheng, there were very few people who could cut out Imperial Green in one go.
"Kid, do you still want to delay the time? My raw stone has been completely cut open, with nearly half of it being Imperial Green, worth around tens of millions. It's much more valuable than your worthless stone, isn't it?" Guo Liang said with a light smile, looking at Li Yang again.
"Are you sure my stone is worthless?"
Seeing that he had already declared the value of the stone, Li Yang calmly walked towards his own stone.
He looked up at Old Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, please use the angle grinder to polish the larger piece I just cut again on the cross-section. The jade inside should then be visible."
"What? Mr. Li, are you saying..."
Old Zhang was greatly surprised. If what Li Yang said was true, it couldn't be described as just skillful; it would be more fitting to call him a god.
The others present also did not understand Li Yang's actions.
Did Li Yang deliberately make a cut that wouldn't produce jade earlier? Was he actually hiding his strength?
Even Qin Bingqin didn't believe Li Yang could be so precise.
Because gamblers of stones couldn't see the internal structure of the stones, being able to judge whether there was green inside was already a very difficult matter, and it also relied on a large part of luck.
Just like Guo Liang being able to cut out Imperial Green earlier, he also relied on some luck. Before the stone was cut, he couldn't have known there was Imperial Green inside.
Therefore, it was completely hopeless for Li Yang to be able to determine the exact location of the jade inside the stone.
"Heh, you kid are quite good at acting. You've already lost but still refuse to admit it. Since that's the case, I'll play with you a bit longer."
Guo Liang also didn't believe Li Yang could accurately judge the starting line of the jade. He thought Li Yang was deliberately wasting time and didn't want to admit defeat.
However, Li Yang remained expressionless and seriously said to Old Zhang again, "Old Zhang, don't overthink it. Just polish it as I said."
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
Old Zhang nodded seriously and immediately picked up the angle grinder, carefully cutting the stone.
He was very careful this time because he didn't think Li Yang was joking. If Li Yang was telling the truth, and there was indeed jade inside, and its value was even higher than Imperial Green, then the loss from damaging it would be huge.
All eyes were fixed on the stone Li Yang had chosen. As soon as the angle grinder started, stone dust flew everywhere, and the air was completely covered by thick stone powder.
After about two or three minutes, when Old Zhang had cut about one centimeter into the stone, a red light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he froze for a moment.
He thought his eyes were deceiving him. He hurriedly stopped, wiped his sweat, and looked at the stone again. He saw that jade had indeed appeared on the stone, and it was a top-grade jade with interlaced red and blue colors.
"It... it's out! It's Sky Blood Jade! This kind of jade can be called the pinnacle of jade."
Old Zhang, trembling with excitement, announced to everyone present.
"What? Sky Blood Jade? Isn't that a legendary top-grade jade? I've been gambling on stones for half my life and have never seen jade of this level."
"What is Sky Blood Jade? Is it more valuable than Imperial Green?"
Some people in the crowd who didn't understand couldn't help but ask.
A young man nodded and said, "Not only is it more valuable than Imperial Green, but once this jade appears, it's collectible. And just a fingernail-sized piece can sell for millions."
"Look at the stone Mr. Li chose. What's exposed now is already as big as a finger. Its value far exceeds Imperial Green."
"My goodness, so the stone Mr. Li chose is so valuable! Boss Qin has too many good things here!"
The audience exclaimed in amazement!
Qin Bingqin was dumbfounded!
She couldn't help but rub her eyes and look at the scene before her in disbelief, saying, "How is this possible? Was Li Yang really hiding his strength just now? He could accurately guess the position where the jade would appear."
"And he even cut out the legendary Sky Blood Jade. Who exactly is he? With such gambling stone techniques, very few people in Kyoto can match him!"
"Oh dear, it seems my luck is good today. I really did guess the position of the jade correctly."
As everyone marveled, Li Yang walked over with a smile, deliberately looking at Guo Liang and saying, "I'm really sorry, it seems luck didn't favor you today. The jade I chose is much more valuable than yours."
"This is impossible!"
Guo Liang was struck as if by lightning. He had never encountered such a formidable opponent in Kyoto. How could this young man from Jiangcheng be so powerful?
