Qin Fan came to a three-meter-wide fish tank and looked across the fish tank at a strange-shaped stone placed in the fish tank, with many holes on the stone.
This stone is about the size of a head. Except for the dense holes, the surface is uneven and full of cracks. It is very inconspicuous. It has tiny bubbles and fish swim around it.
This stone is the strange stone that Qin Fan sensed with his spiritual consciousness.
"I didn't expect that I would meet Huo Lingyu today."
Qin Fan's expression remained unchanged, but he was quite happy in his heart. The Fire Ling Jade was already at the level of Ling Jade.
Lingyu is a combination of spiritual energy and jade, formed after years of fusion. When you encounter spiritual jade, you must have spiritual energy.
This piece of spiritual jade can help him improve his cultivation a lot.
Ma Laoliu walked to Qin Fan: "Little brother, this stone is a very ordinary volcanic stone, just a landscape."
Qin Fan smiled in his heart.
Volcanic stone? This is the treasure of the store, but these old men don't know it.
Qin Fan looked elsewhere and found another piece of Lantian Warm Jade of extraordinary quality, wrapped in an inconspicuous stone skin and placed among a pile of scraps.
Everyone knows that Lantian jade comes from Hanzhong County of the Xia Kingdom. Although its value is not as good as Hotan jade from Western Xinjiang, most of the jade seals passed down in ancient times were carved with Lantian jade from Hanzhong County.
Lantian jade is thick and majestic and can bear the majesty of the emperor and the weight of the sacred weapon of the country.
But what the world doesn't know is that not all Lantian jade can be used to make imperial seals. There is also a kind of warm jade among Lantian jade, which is rarely spread in the jade world.
This kind of warm jade is the jade that is really used to make imperial seals. It is called Lantian warm jade in the cultivation world.
Lantian Nuan Jade is a semi-spiritual jade. The best Lantian Jade can form semi-spiritual jade after absorbing spiritual energy for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years.
The poem "Lantian Sun Warm Jade Creates Smoke" describes Lantian Warm Jade. Wearing Lantian Warm Jade, ordinary people will be disease-free in spring and autumn and live a hundred years, which represents longevity.
It is recorded in some secret histories that ancient kings competed for the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. In addition to the appeal of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, it also has the ability to live forever.
Lantian warm jade is undoubtedly the best quality for making protective jade amulets.
"This Zhenbao Pavilion is indeed the number one jade shop in the Jiangnan area. If you just take a look around, you will be rewarded."
"In the last life, my sister, the Empress, and I visited the Treasure Pavilion and encountered a real piece of spiritual jade here, but we can't find it now. I guess I came too early and the jade was not sent here."
Qin Fan secretly thought that finding suitable jade to make a protective jade talisman was only the secondary purpose of his visit today. The real purpose was to find the piece of spiritual jade.
In his previous life, he had stepped from Qi refining to foundation building, relying on the spiritual jade cut out by the empress sister.
At this time, Liu Hongye shouted to Qin Fan: "Qin Fan, do you know the rules of stone gambling?"
Qin Fan said calmly: "I don't know, so don't make it too complicated. The simpler, the better."
Liu Hongye sneered: "You don't even know the rules of stone gambling, how dare you gamble with me?"
"The rules are very simple. Each of us chooses a piece of raw jade. Whoever cuts the jade that is more valuable will be the winner."
"The winner takes all, and the jade cut out by both parties belongs to the winner."
"As for the loser, you have to pay the Zhenbao Pavilion the money that both parties bought for the rough stones. You only have 10 million funds, so the total jade rough stones selected by both of us cannot exceed 10 million."
Qin Fan nodded lightly: "Okay, you choose the stone first."
Seeing Qin Fan agree, Liu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief and showed a confident smile.
Although he dare not call himself an expert in stone gambling, in the past few years, he has cut nearly one billion jade rough stones before and after Zhenbao Pavilion. He has lost too much and has developed his own experience in identifying and judging rough jade stones.
In the past year, he hired Ma Laoliu as his consultant to help him identify the treasures pledged by other bosses to the company, and he also accumulated a lot of experience.
In the past six months, he has never lost when he gambled with others at Zhenbao Pavilion.
Looking at Qin Fan, he is still a student and doesn’t even know the rules of stone gambling. How great can his stone gambling skills be?
It is estimated that the concept of rough jade is still based on probability. It is believed that the larger the rough jade, the greater the probability of cutting out jade.
A master, a rookie, his chance of winning is over 90%.
The 10 million given away will probably be returned to his pocket soon.
"Mr. Ma, please help us be a witness." Liu Hongye was afraid that Qin Fan would regret it, so he immediately said to Ma Laoliu.
Ma Laoliu nodded: "It's easy to say, since both of you have no objections, let's start choosing stones. It's limited to ten minutes."
Qin Fan nodded: "Okay."
Many of the distinguished guests here recognized Liu Hongye. When they heard that the latter wanted to bet against others, they immediately gathered around to watch.
Wu Xue looked at Xia Qinglan with a proud look on her face: "Xia Qinglan, your little husband will definitely lose this time. He has no life to take the ten million, and he will definitely spit it out later."
"Does it feel uncomfortable for you to think that you will lose the ten million you just received?"
Xia Qinglan was in a good mood and ignored Wu Xue.
However, that ten million was not a small amount. If Xiaofan lost the stone bet, she felt a little uncomfortable and was unwilling to send Liu Hongye back like this.
But when she thought that Liu Hongye had a huge background and that the two siblings could not afford to offend him, Xia Qinglan calmed down.
As long as the two siblings go back safely today, it will be fine.
At this time, Liu Hongye had already started to ask Zhenbao Pavilion for various tools for identifying rough stones. He used a small hammer to gently tap on the jade, and then put his ear against it to listen to the sound.
Before it was over, Liu Hongye poured water on the rough stone again and shined it with a laser pointer, looking very professional.
Ma Laoliu looked at Qin Fan and said, "Little brother, why don't you choose the rough stone?"
Wu Xue said with a proud face: "Mr. Ma, he is a rookie and doesn't even know the rules of stone gambling. How can he look at rough stones? I guess he was dumbfounded when he saw so many rough stones and didn't know which one to choose."
Qin Fan was still there: "Don't be in a hurry."
After a while, Liu Hongye called the waiter and moved a rough stone the size of an ox head to the cutting table. It was a jadeite rough stone from northern Myanmar.
Liu Hongye announced proudly: "I will choose this jadeite rough stone."
When Xia Qinglan saw the price of the rough stone, his expression suddenly changed: "The price of this rough stone is nine million, doesn't it comply with the rules? Aren't you obviously bullying others?"
Wu Xue sneered: "Who said it's not in compliance with the rules? You novices, do you know the hidden rules of stone gambling?"
Ma Laoliu also said: "According to the unspoken rules of stone gambling, although you have agreed that the total price of the rough stones selected by both parties is 10 million, it does not necessarily mean that the price of the rough stones for both parties must be less than 5 million, as long as the total price is not higher than 10 million."
Just ten million will do.”
“This is a test of both parties’ vision and speed in selecting rough stones.”
Xia Qinglan asked: "So, the rough stone my brother is choosing now can only cost less than one million?"
Ma Laoliu nodded: "Not bad."
“However, choosing quickly has its own disadvantages, because you don’t have much time to observe the condition, so the chance of getting caught is very high.”
Wu Xue smiled proudly: "That's what I say, but can one million rough stones be the same as nine million rough stones?"
Xia Qinglan frowned slightly, feeling like she was being tricked.
Qin Fan chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, those who deserve to lose will never escape."
