After taking the receipt, Ye Lingtian nodded. It was not that he did not trust the boss, but he knew that one should always be on guard against others.

He was very sure that the stone he bought would increase in value! At that time, it was really difficult to guarantee that the gambling house owner would not become jealous, so he had to guard against this move in advance.

"By the way, you guys should be able to help cut stones, right?" Ye Lingtian asked.

"Sure, sure! There's a stone cutter right at the door. We can help you cut the stone for free..." Old Wu said, and led Ye Lingtian to the door of the store.

There are dedicated stone cutting masters here who provide stone cutting services to customers who buy stones in the store.

"Old Xie! Help this young man to open a stone..." Old Wu directly instructed the middle-aged man at the door who looked about the same age as him and had a small tuft of beard on his chin.

"Okay!" Old Xie responded, then turned his gaze to Ye Lingtian, and then looked at the stone in his arms.

"Wow! You're quite generous, little brother, buying such a large piece of material! To be honest, this is the first time someone has brought such a large piece of material to me for opening!"

"Haha! I'm a newbie when it comes to gambling on stones. I simply bought this to try my luck. If the bet goes up, I'll become rich overnight. If I lose, I won't touch this business anymore. It's just for fun..."

"Hehe! Little brother, you're quite open-minded..." Old Xie shook his head and said nothing more. He had seen many newcomers like this, but there were basically no ones who could get rich overnight. Most of them became poor immediately! The kind that lost everything.

"Little brother, how do you want to cut this stone?"

Cutting stone is not a casual process. You often have to follow the stone's grain and try to avoid cutting into cracks. You also have to follow the client's requirements. Otherwise, if you ruin the good material, your career will be over.

Old Xie handed Ye Lingtian a marker and asked him to mark the place where he wanted to cut.

Ye Lingtian wasted no time and quickly began to paint on the stone according to the image in his mind.

"Come on! Cut along the lines I drew. Don't cut too deep. Peel off the skin on the right side, then grind the left side. The same goes for the top and bottom sides. Just cut off some of the surface and then grind it..."

According to Ye Lingtian's request, stone cutting master Lao Xie quickly took action.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

With the sound of sharp cutting, Ye Lingtian's stone was soon cut open!

When the people around saw someone cutting a stone, especially a piece of this size, they all gathered around curiously.

When the stonecutter Lao Xie saw that the stone had opened, he washed off the slurry on it with water again, and then gently removed the waste material with his hands.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the stone, looking forward to what good things could be mined from it...

"Clap!"

The waste fell to the ground beside them! But no one cared at this moment. Countless people stared with their eyes wide open, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Holy shit! Did I see that right?"

"Damn it! This is the first time I've seen this kind of material in my life!"

"Get out of the way! Don't block me. Let me see what you've cut out."

"Oh my god! Is this Imperial Green? And it's glass-type! Are you sure this is a real jadeite? Isn't it artificial?"

"Is this true? Imperial green? Can you please stop joking?"

"Damn! Do I really need to joke with you? Why don't you just come and take a look yourself? It's such a vast expanse of green. I'm not blind, how can I not see clearly? And the water in this side is so transparent that I can even see directly inside..."

"hiss……"

When everyone saw the stone clearly, they couldn't help but be shocked! Many of them had never seen such beautiful jade!

The cross-section of this jadeite, revealed at its cut, resembles a deep lake, its hue rich and pure, a green so emerald it seems dripping with water. Its texture is delicate and mellow, as smooth as mutton fat and as smooth as silk. Under the light, the jadeite's internal veins are clearly visible, even emitting a faint luminescence! This is a marvel of nature's workmanship, one cannot help but marvel at the wonders of the Creator...

Ye Lingtian was also slightly surprised at this moment. When had his luck gotten so good? He had never expected to stumble upon such a fine jadeite by accident.

"Fuck! No! Look!"

"What? What's not? Isn't it imperial green?"

"No... no... it's indeed imperial green, but not just any imperial green! Look closely, look at its size!"

"Oh my god! Is this even possible? This is almost as big as a bowling ball. If they are all of the same quality, how much would they be worth?"

"I don't know! But it will definitely not be less than this number..." As he said this, the man extended his index finger.

"One...one million?"

Hearing this, the man shook his head.

"Ten million?"

"Haha! Is that all you know? If it's really based on the quality on the surface, this piece of jade is definitely worth no less than 100 million! Do you understand now? I'm talking about 100 million! 100 million! OK?"

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped in shock again! They were instantly horrified! Something worth a hundred million, and it was just sitting there on that stonecutter? This… this contrast was too great, wasn't it?

The stone cutting master was also stunned at this time. He looked at the piece of material under the stone cutting machine with an expression of surprise. He stood there in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.

This was the first time he had found such a material! If he hadn't known that Ye Lingtian had brought this stone, he would have wanted to hug it and give it a kiss!

Having worked in stone cutting for so many years, he certainly knew how valuable this material was.

According to his estimation, if the quality of the jadeite produced from this stone is as good as the one shown on the surface, then its final value will definitely not be less than 100 million, or even higher!

At this time, the gambling house owner heard the noise outside and led the fat old man out.

The two men glanced at the crowd gathered at the door of the shop, then looked at the dazed stone cutter, frowned, and turned their gaze to Ye Lingtian. Seeing that he was standing in the middle of the field with a calm expression, their faces became a little confused for a moment.

What are these people doing? Why are they gathered here?

So, the two followed the gaze of the people around them and saw the jadeite rough stone under the stone cutter.

"Hiss! What? This... this is... Imperial Green?!"

"Old...Old Li! Am I seeing things right? This is a fucking Imperial Green! And it's a glass-type one at that! What kind of luck does this kid have? Is he cheating?"

The gambling house owner was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth! He had recognized this rough stone as the one he had just bought from his shop.

"Oh my god! How much money have I missed? I… I'm fucking suicidal right now..."

The gambling house owner was so sad that he couldn't even cry, his eyes bloodshot! The resentment in his heart was simply indescribable! He really regretted selling such a good piece of material to Ye Lingtian for the price of a piece! How great would it be if he kept it for himself? Wouldn't he be a billionaire then? Then this rotten gambling house would be open to anyone who wanted to open it! He just left without hesitation!

But now, everything was just wishful thinking! This stone no longer belonged to him, and he hated it so much! If he had known earlier... if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been so anxious to sell this stone to Ye Lingtian...

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world...
