He could already imagine Ye Fei's disbelieving expression when he learned that the stone cutting had failed.
The stone cutting master, following Ye Fei's instructions, began to cut from right to left, one slice after another.
With each cut, only white raw jade material was revealed.
Yu Xiao's face immediately sank.
Only Ye Fei stood there, as calm as ever, showing no signs of panic.
The second cut still revealed white raw jade material!
The surrounding onlookers began to whisper.
In contrast, a hint of green had already appeared in the young man's raw jade.
This comparison made Ye Fei's piece of raw jade seem worthless.
Yu Xiao clasped her hands together, beginning to pray.
"Kid, it looks like you're destined to lose to me this time!"
Seeing that the raw jade he had chosen had finally revealed its green, the young man's heart finally settled.
Everyone believed Ye Fei was bound to lose.
Only an elder in a Tang suit, his eyes flashing, noticed something unusual.
Especially seeing that Ye Fei's face showed no change, remaining calm, this composure earned nods of approval from many of the onlookers.
It wasn't until the twentieth cut that the exposed surface finally revealed a smooth green hue!
With a sound of "huala."
The entire hall erupted.
"It actually revealed green?"
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"Judging by the color, the clarity seems good!"
The young man's eyes widened in an instant, and he murmured to himself, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had only just revealed an ice-waxy jade, and its clarity was clearly no match for Ye Fei's.
The elder also watched with excitement as the stone cutting master continued to polish the jade that had already revealed so much green.
As time passed, a complete, apple-green jade, occupying one-third of the entire raw jade, transparent and clear with excellent clarity, was presented before everyone's eyes.
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's actually old pit glass type!"
"Today has been an eye-opener!"
The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the rare jadeite that had been revealed.
The ice-waxy jade that the young man had revealed was long forgotten.
"Young friend, I am a local jeweler. I wish to purchase the jade you've revealed on the spot. I offer sixty million, what do you say?"
The elder in the Tang suit eyed the jade in front of Ye Fei with longing, eager to acquire it immediately.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I must prioritize selling to my friend!"
Ye Fei shook his head.
At this moment, Yu Xiao, filled with gratitude, walked over.
Not receiving the answer he desired, the elder, though disappointed, could only concede.
"Sir, I still have three more pieces of raw jade to cut. If my friend doesn't want all of it, I can consider selling the rest to you!"
These words stunned even the elder, leaving him somewhat dazed.
"You brat, you're being too overconfident!"
"Even though you've luckily won this round for now, how dare you speak such big words!"
"Even the Green Robe Daoist wouldn't dare to boast like this!"
"Are you saying you're even more formidable than the Green Robe Daoist?"
The Green Robe Daoist had always held a unique legendary status in Mianxi.
The tales of the Green Robe Daoist repeatedly uncovering priceless jade were still vivid in people's minds.
Many had come to regard the Green Robe Daoist as a top master in the world of stone gambling.
Unfortunately, ever since he rose to fame, no one in Mianxi had seen him again.
Ye Fei hadn't expected his old man to have such a formidable past.
"Oh, to tell you the truth, I am the disciple of the Green Robe Daoist!"
"All his skills have been passed down to me!"
With a "hu la."
As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, the young man burst into laughter, completely disbelieving Ye Fei's words.
"Kid, you have the audacity to impersonate the Green Robe Daoist's disciple!"
"Don't think that just because you got lucky, you can spout nonsense!"
"I refuse to believe you can still win against me with luck!"
"Let's continue!"
The young man, filled with anger, was eager to regain his footing.
"Alright, as I also wish to finish quickly, let's not compete one by one. Why don't we call a few stone cutting masters to cut them together?"
Ye Fei suggested.
"Good, I agree!"
The young man immediately accepted.
Subsequently, several professional stone cutting masters stood before each of them.
After some instructions, they immediately began the stone cutting work.
Time ticked by, and a voice filled with surprise broke the intense silence of the scene.
One of the three pieces of raw jade from Ye Fei's side had revealed a faint purple hue.
"It's showing green again!"
The crowd of onlookers grew, completely surrounding Ye Fei and the others.
As for the elder in the Tang suit, upon hearing these words, he quickly moved to stand in front of the cut piece of raw jade.
The stone cutting master gently wiped the area that had been polished for a long time with a damp cloth.
Then, a piece of deep purple jade appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Could it be the legendary purple jade?"
The elder murmured.
He then took a magnifying glass and carefully examined it for a while before finally confirming that the jade before him was indeed the legendary and extremely rare purple jade.
"I never thought that in my lifetime, I, an old man, would see such rare purple jade!"
"And it's glass-type purple jade!"
"The value of such rare purple jade is no less than that of imperial green glass-type!"
The elder's words struck the ears of the crowd like dynamite, exploding in their minds and lingering long after.
After all, such a deep color, free of any impurities, and exceptionally transparent purple jade was truly a rarity.
Even Ye Fei, who had seen countless rare treasures, was seeing it for the first time.
This time, the young man also revealed a piece of ice-type jade.
Such a result would have been considered extremely impressive before.
However, this time, he happened to encounter Ye Fei.
Yu Xiao was already dumbfounded.
She had originally hired Ye Fei solely because of his outstanding martial prowess, which could shield her from much trouble and ensure her safety.
But she never imagined that Ye Fei's talent in stone gambling would be so high!
Although she was also the general manager of a jewelry company and had seen countless jade and jadeites, this was her first time seeing purple jade.
"It's too beautiful!"
Yu Xiao exclaimed involuntarily.
"Good heavens, it's showing green again!"
"Judging by the color, it's likely old pit glass type again!"
Everyone was becoming numb.
Did this kid have X-ray vision? Why could he repeatedly reveal such formidable jade?
In contrast, after revealing two pieces of jade, the young man's remaining two pieces yielded nothing.
