Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

After Ye Yu got a general understanding of the layout of the entire raw stone factory, she led Gao Weimin on a tour of the material selection area.

Before selecting materials, Ye Yu asked Gao Weiming to be her consultant.

She would give him 10,000 yuan for every rough stone she selected that yielded jade.

Gao Weimin's face lit up with ecstasy: "Do you have any requirements regarding the price of the raw materials?"

Ye Yu said, "Try to choose the cheaper ones."

Ye Yu didn't know exactly how much money she would need to buy the raw stones. She only had three million on her at the moment, and if she didn't have enough money, she would have to pay with gold.

Gao Weimin excitedly led Ye Yu toward the material selection area.

They went to the windowed area first. All the stones here had been peeled in one place. Gao Weimin picked up a stone at random, shone his small flashlight on it, and explained to Ye Yu how to identify a raw stone.

The rough stone he was holding wasn't very big, only about the size of a book.

Gao Weimin looked at the other parts of the stone and said, "When choosing a stone, you also need to look at other parts. Don't be fooled by the green here; it may only have a little bit of green."

Ye Yu took the stone, examined it carefully, but couldn't discern anything about it.

She channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes and saw that the stone was emitting a very faint green light.

She asked, "So what do you think of this stone?"

"Not really." Gao Weimin shook his head.

After that, they looked at the stones in the windowed area for a while. The stones were either too expensive, ranging from 500,000 to 1 million yuan per stone, which was not cost-effective.

Either the material isn't good enough, or Gao Weimin doesn't dare to make a purchase.

So they went to the material selection pool where prices were clearly marked.

Arriving at the pool filled with raw stones, a sign above read: Houjiang material, 10,000 each.

Looking at the pond next to it, it says: Houjiang material, 50,000 each.

Gao Weimin explained, "Although these are all Houjiang materials, they are different in size and price."

Ye Yu stood in front of the pool with the inscription "10,000," channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes, and carefully examined the stone in front of her.

With the blessing of spiritual power, these stones all turned grayish in Ye Yu's eyes.

Only in the upper left corner of the pool was a stone emitting a green light, the same color as before, but much brighter.

Ye Yu walked over, took the stone out and held it in his hand. He then directly injected his divine sense into the stone and saw a very beautiful green crystal.

She handed the stone to Gao Weimin and asked him to take a look at it.

Gao Weimin took it and examined it carefully, turning it over and over. After a while, he nodded and said, "This piece should have some green."

So they discussed it and took the stone to the trading place, paid for the stone and the cutting fee, and then went to the cutting area with the receipt.

The cutting area was extremely busy, with people crowding around every machine.

They walked into a crowd and saw the cutter drawing the cutting path for the rough stone.

After obtaining the owner's consent, the cutting began.

Gao Weimin added, "The craftsmen here are all very experienced. You can ask them to draw the cutting path for the stone, or you can draw it yourself."

When the blade touched the raw stone, everyone instinctively held their breath and stared at the blade with tense expressions, as if the stone belonged to them.

With one cut, the raw stone was split in two.

The craftsman had just rinsed it clean with water when he heard someone in the crowd shout, "It's green! It's green!"

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a patch of green at the cut edge of the stone.

The owner of the raw stone was so excited that his face turned red.

Someone asked, "Would you sell this stone for 300,000?"

As he hesitated, the cutting master asked him if he was still going to cut it; if not, the next customer would have to go.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Tch!"

The cutter continued cutting along the previously drawn route. After seeing the stone after it had been washed with water, everyone sighed. This time, the cut was a grayish-white color.

The owner of the rough stone was very annoyed, saying repeatedly, "If I had known, I would have sold it. I could have made 200,000 yuan. Now I can't even sell it for 10,000 yuan."

After he left, Ye Yu handed over the stone she had chosen.

The cutting technician asked Ye Yu, "Do you have your own cutting route?"

Ye Yu nodded and picked up a pen to draw on the stone.

After Ye Yu finished drawing, the cutting master carefully examined the drawing repeatedly with a flashlight and a magnifying glass before saying, "It can be cut."

Then the raw stone was placed under the cutting machine.

The blade made a piercing sound as it touched the stone, and the onlookers held their breath once more. When the blade revealed the green color after the cut, they gasped in surprise again.

Ye Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just as she had seen, the stone emitting a green light was indeed jade.

"Would you sell this piece of jade for 300,000?"

Ye Yu turned around and saw that it was the same person who had made the offer earlier.

Ye Yu didn't answer him, but turned to the cutting master and said, "Make me another cut."

The master nodded and cut along the second line she had drawn.

Once the water had washed the stones clean, everyone cheered, "They've risen! They've risen!"

The two lines drawn by Ye Yu resemble a triangle, and the area containing jade is about two-thirds of the entire stone.

Gao Weimin was also very excited: "Miss Ye Yu, you are so lucky, and you are also very talented. Both lines you drew have turned green."

"Just lucky," Ye Yu said modestly.

The person who had previously offered 300,000 immediately raised the price: "600,000, sell it to me for 600,000."

"I'll offer 700,000."

"Eight hundred thousand, I'll give you eight hundred thousand."

They actually started the auction right there in the crowd.

Finally, on Gao Weimin's advice, Ye Yu sold the jade for 900,000 yuan.

She also roughly figured out the pattern: jadeite will emit a green light, and the less jadeite inside, the weaker the light.

So this time she walked to a place with a sign that read 'Two thousand each', and channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes to carefully observe the stones.

The result, however, greatly disappointed her.

She originally planned to walk up to some inexpensive stones and see if she could find a bargain.

However, the people at the raw stone factory were very experienced, and the stones in this pool were mostly ordinary ones.

Ye Yu sighed helplessly and had no choice but to come to the pool with the price of '50,000'.

She channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes and began searching. Suddenly, a strong green light caught her eye.

Ye Yu removed the stone pressing down on the green light, revealing an even more vibrant green.

She channeled her divine sense into the stone and saw crisscrossing crystal pillars.

This stone is of even better quality than the previous one! Ye Yu thought to herself with certainty.

She showed the stone to Gao Weimin as usual, but Gao Weimin was not optimistic: "The skin of this stone looks very smooth, like a pebble. There is no moss, cracks or anything like that. The chances of it turning green are slim."

Ye Yu said, "I feel a connection with this stone, let's give it a try."

Hearing her say that, Gao Weimin stopped trying to persuade her, and the two of them walked together to the cutting area.

Ye Yu paid for the stone, then went back to the cutting machine, picked up a pen, and started drawing on the watermelon-sized stone.

This time, one of the lines she drew was very close to the edge, and the other was in the middle.

She handed the stone to the stone cutter. The onlookers, seeing how quickly Ye Yu had chosen her stone, eagerly urged the cutter to start cutting it.

The craftsman was quick; he placed the stone on the machine and started cutting. The blade had only cut halfway into the stone when the craftsman felt a cool sensation in his hand controlling the stone.

He was confident that this time the material was of high quality.

Sure enough, after he washed the stone clean, it appeared emerald green.

"Beautiful lady, sell it to me for five million."

"I'll pay seven million!"

Gao Weimin, standing to the side, was overjoyed: "You're so lucky! This stone looked ordinary, but it actually yielded jade!"

Ye Yu, without changing his expression, said to his master, "Cut it again!"

The master cut along the middle line again, and when he felt the coolness again, before he had even finished cutting the stone, he said to Ye Yu, "Congratulations, you've made a profit again."
