After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

With a snap, a thin slice of stone was cut off, and without rinsing it with water, a patch of emerald green was revealed.

With trembling hands, Ahao poured water on the cut, making the bright green color of the cut even more prominent.

Yu Jinchen rushed over to take a closer look, then shouted to his back, "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, come here for a second. Our stock might have surged today, but I'm not entirely sure."

Yu Jinchen's shout not only attracted Zhang Keqin, but also the shop owner Chen Youdong and the customers in the shop.

Chen Youdong was the fastest, arriving first, and didn't look like a man in his sixties or seventies at all. He bent down, glanced at the package, pushed Ahao aside, and said, "I'll cut it; you just rinse it for me."

"Xiao Chen, what's going on? If I'm not mistaken, this should be imperial green jade, right? How come you're so lucky?" Zhang Keqin pointed at the stone, somewhat incredulous.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinchen smiled smugly and explained leisurely, "The person who chose this stone wasn't me, but my husband Manman."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Keqin gave Xu Qingman a thumbs up, revealing a look of utmost admiration.

Over there, the old man had already nimbly begun cutting. With a few snips, the jade inside had been completely extracted.

Ah Hao, with his keen eye, poured water on it, finally revealing its mysterious veil.

"Wow"

"Oh my god."

"Wow, this is a huge surge!"

The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise, looking at Xu Qingman and her companion with envy.

"Hahaha... Ah Hao, hurry up and light the firecracker! This old man has finally personally unearthed another piece of imperial green jade! Good, good!" Although he sold it himself at a low price, Chen Youdong was still very happy.

After laughing enough, he smiled and stared at Xu Qingman, asking gently, "Young lady, if I heard correctly, you should be the owner of this jade, right? I wonder if you have any plans to make a purchase?"

"Well, if the price is right, let's sell it," Xu Qingman replied with a smile.

Although she didn't know the exact value, judging from everyone's reactions, she knew it must be quite valuable. Since she was currently short of funds, she figured she might as well sell it.

Although Little Stone and his elders in the Immortal Realm had stored many good things in the space, she couldn't find a reason to take them out to sell. Now that she had this piece of jade, it was just right.

"Alright, since you're interested in transferring the shares, I'd like to act as the middleman. Little girl, do you agree?" Chen Youdong asked with a smile.

Xu Qingman readily agreed, nodding and smiling as she said, "Of course, then I'll trouble you, sir."

Just then, a series of firecrackers went off outside the shop. Hearing this, the people nearby knew that the shop must have just opened a big truck, and those who were interested all rushed inside.

This is why Chen Youdong is happy; after this incident, his shop's business is sure to boom in the near future.

When the people who came in later heard that it was imperial green jade, the scene became even more lively, and some people quickly made phone calls to call for backup. You know, if their company could acquire this piece of jade, how many big clients would it attract?

The jade was already in Yu Jinchen's hands, and Zhang Keqin and several other close friends surrounded him.

As the owner, Chen Youdong specially set up a temporary small auction stage in the store, invited the group to sit on it, and announced that the auction would start in one hour, telling everyone to get ready.

An hour passed quickly, and most of those interested in the jadeite had arrived. Chen Youdong walked onto the stage with a smile, inviting the auction house owners to come up one by one to personally appraise the jadeite.

"Greetings, esteemed customers. Today, one of our customers has the good fortune to unearth a piece of glassy imperial jadeite. He has entrusted me, this old man, to conduct the auction. Alright, now please place your bids."

After Chen Youdong finished speaking, a man in his forties shouted out, "Our Dayou Jewelry offers three million."

"Tch, only six million? You think you can afford that? I'll offer six million six hundred thousand."

"Our Liu's Jewelry offers an auspicious price: eight million eight hundred thousand."

The third company that submitted the bid increased the price by 1.2 million, clearly indicating their strong interest in the jade.

After these three companies submitted their bids, several others made offers, and the price rose to a staggering 12 million through their competition.

By this point, several small companies with insufficient funds had withdrawn from the competition, and the amount being raised had increased from tens or hundreds of thousands to tens or hundreds of thousands.

The boss, Liu Yongsheng, who offered 1,200, smiled broadly, feeling confident that he had a good chance of making a profit. After all, he had brought 15 million with him today, and if he was lucky, he might even have some left over.

At this moment, the young man who had been standing at the back without bidding spoke up, "I bid fourteen million."

Liu Yongsheng's illusions were shattered by the man's sudden offer. Who was this guy? He'd never seen him before. He checked all the jewelry stores in the city, but there was no one like him. He was probably from out of town.

Liu Yongsheng was not satisfied with "15 million" and offered his final bottom line. In any case, even if he exceeded this price, he wouldn't make much profit.

Xu Qingman originally thought that it would be good if she could get more than 1,200 bids, but then another one appeared, making her even more excited. She never expected that it would be sold for 1,500.

Seeing that the young man remained silent, the onlookers all assumed that the jadeite was undoubtedly Liu's. However, after a moment of contemplation, the man spoke again: "I'll bid seventeen million. Anyone else want to bid?"

Liu Yongsheng snorted angrily and turned to leave. He was almost there when an unexpected obstacle suddenly intervened.

"Hahaha... Alright, the latest price for this jade is now seventeen million. Is there anyone who will bid higher?" After saying that, Chen Youdong looked at the audience with a smile.

At this price, there's practically no profit left. Everyone here is an expert; they certainly won't raise the price any further.

In the end, the imperial green jadeite belonged to this young man.

Chen Ji Raw Stone Shop truly lives up to its reputation as the largest shop on this street. Chen Youdong made a phone call, and even though it was late at night, two bank employees quickly came to his door.

They helped both the buyer and seller complete the fund transfer and even brought a special transfer contract for both parties to sign and confirm.

Xu Qingman wasn't stingy. After discussing it with Yu Jinchen, she transferred 200,000 yuan to Chen Youdong to thank him for his help and to ask him to give red envelopes to the shop's employees on her behalf, especially to Ahao, who helped her cut the stone at the beginning.

Chen Youdong didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gift with a smile, only saying that Xu Qingman and the other person could come and visit again when they had time.
