As someone shouted out "Dragon Stone Jade", there were only more than 2,000 people left around, and they immediately became restless.
"Is it really the dragon stone species? I've only heard of it all my life."
"Impossible, dragon stone species have long been extinct. Even if they exist, they have been secretly collected long ago."
Facing the noisy and arguing crowd, Li Xiangqian remained silent and calm.
At this moment, he just wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then fixed his eyes again on the piece of material in front of him, which only had about fifty kilograms left.
Li Xiangqian had never seen this material before.
But he had heard of the name Dragon Stone Seed from the notes left by his father.
Aloof and independent, radiating cold light.
It looks like it really blends in with the material in front of you.
Dragon stone jade is also called agate jade and old dragon jade.
So far, it can be regarded as the top and most high-end jadeite among all jadeite varieties.
This type of jade does not look as rich in color as the glass imperial green, but it is more delicate and clean than the glass type, and has a stronger glue feel.
It is as smooth as satin and as active as running water, and there are no cracks or lint visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, dragon stone jade has a cool tone, light and even color, giving people a cold and biting feeling.
Generally speaking, it can be summed up in twelve words.
The color is dissolved in the base, the tone is uniform, and the color root does not exist.
There is also an unofficial anecdote about dragon stone jade.
Rumor has it that more than 200 years ago, when Emperor Qianlong was in power, Burma refused to surrender and would often raise troops to invade the Yunnan border.
Sometimes they killed people and expropriated goods, and sometimes they burned, killed and looted.
Finally, Emperor Qianlong got angry and immediately issued an edict to punish them.
"You are a small foreign country. The country is small and the people are tired. The land is small. I don't want to surrender to my superior country. I dare to disobey the heaven, kill the people under my rule, and plunder the land under my rule. Those who cause trouble on the border are really for everyone.
If you don’t want to repent now that the large army is here, we will cut off its roots and cut off its seeds.”
So in the 30th year of Qianlong, the 31st year, the 32nd year, and the 33rd year.
Emperor Qianlong used troops against Burma four times in a row, and the battles between the two sides were extremely fierce.
As a small foreign country, Myanmar could not afford to fight for years, so the two sides finally signed an armistice.
In the fifty-third year of Qianlong's reign, the unruly Burma finally bowed its head and paid tribute.
He said that from now on he would never covet an inch of land in the Celestial Empire, and would always pay tribute and be a vassal.
After that, Myanmar, as a vassal state, sent a batch of tributes to Beijing.
Among them, there is a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality. The whole body exudes a faint cold light, giving people the feeling of being alone and arrogant in the world.
Emperor Qianlong was known as the Perfect Old Man. Apart from being lecherous and flirting with women, taking off his pants and touching them everywhere, he was also very arty.
When he saw the pair of bracelets sent as tribute from his vassal country Burma, he immediately asked curiously: "I am the emperor and I have seen countless jade, but I don't know what jade this is?"
Because the name of this dragon stone jade contains the word "dragon", many ministers who knew the inside story were afraid that Emperor Qianlong would be angry after hearing about Long Yan, so they were reluctant to say anything.
After all, in the whole world, the only person who dares to call himself a dragon is the emperor.
It is really disrespectful for a jadeite with a dragon in its name to dare to compete with the superior emperor for the dragon spirit of heaven and earth.
No one dared to speak, but it was okay to hide it like this.
So among the ministers, Ji Xiaolan immediately came out and said to Qianlong: "Your Majesty, this jade is Burmese jade, and the locals call it dragon stone. I think this name is very inappropriate, and I would like to ask your majesty to give it a name."
When Ji Xiaolan explained this, he didn't expect that Emperor Qianlong, instead of being furious, actually burst into laughter.
"It doesn't matter, since it is a good jade, it is called a dragon species, and it is worthy of its name."
Since then, dragon stone jade has become more and more unstoppable, and because of its unique charm, it has been promoted to the ranks of top jade.
Of course, this is just an unofficial legend and cannot be considered true, but it also shows from the side that dragon stone jade really exists and is really valuable.
However, this material is extremely rare and rare, and is almost extinct.
But even though this kind of material is very rare, among the more than 2,000 spectators at the scene, there are still many elderly people, even famous experts who have been in the jade field for many years, or some well-informed jade merchants.
I immediately recognized this very rare dragon stone jadeite.
As Li Xiang's opponent in this decisive battle, Qin Cheng has never actually seen the dragon stone jade.
But this Dragon of Heyang has never eaten pork, but he has still seen pigs running away.
He had just heard everyone mention the dragon stone jadeite, so although he was no longer so wild in his heart, Qin Cheng still maintained his unique arrogance on his face in order to scare off Li Xiangqian.
"Li Xiangqian, I have tolerated you for a long time. Today, in front of so many people, I made you cut seven times in a row. I gave you enough opportunities. Now there is only such a small piece of material left in front of you. If you behave
If you admit defeat and surrender, I can consider leaving a way out for you."
Facing Qin Cheng's temptation, Li Xiangqian just sneered twice.
"Mr. Qin, I appreciate your kindness. As for asking me to admit defeat, that is absolutely impossible. The descendants of the Li family are strong-willed. There has never been a word like surrender in the dictionary."
Faced with Li Xiangqian's insistent confrontation, Qin Cheng still showed great patience.
"Brother Qiangqian, we are enemies when we are in the same industry. We are not in the same industry. We are brothers. I think you should admit defeat. Even if you fail, I will still give you the most honorable exit."
Faced with Qin Cheng's shameless temptation, Yao Xuewei immediately wanted to block Qin Cheng from Li Xiangqian, but Xuewei was pulled back by Li Xiangqian again.
And at this moment, among the already impatient crowd, some people couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to bid first.
"Don't argue with me, everyone. My only wish in this life is to collect a piece of dragon stone jade. Now I'm paying 100 million for this piece of jade. If I can, I'll pay immediately."
Seeing someone bidding 100 million, someone in the crowd immediately made a sound of contempt.
"Old bastard, you see clearly, this is a fucking dragon stone seed, not a bean seed, a glutinous seed, or an ice seed, a glass seed. If you offer 100 million, it's not enough to shudder me, I'll give you 200 million.
"
Seeing that it was only 100 million just now, it immediately increased to 200 million, doubling in an instant, and the crowd immediately became restless again.
And the debate and bidding are far from over.
Seeing someone bidding 200 million, someone in the crowd shouted again.
"Bald Donkey, two hundred million is nothing. You are the only one who has the money, right? I am willing to offer three hundred million to buy this piece of material, and you can pay immediately."
