Jiang Ming spoke with a face full of joking, and the contempt in his eyes could not be concealed, "It seems that I have praised you too much. After doing this for a long time, you are actually an amateur. Oh, it's boring, it's really boring."
Not only him, but Mo Tao on the side also shook his head repeatedly, with disappointment in his eyes.
"It seems that the outcome has been decided." Mo Tao sighed. He originally thought there would be a wonderful gambling battle, but he didn't expect that an amateur who didn't know the heights of the world would challenge Jiang Ming. It was like an egg against a stone.
At first, it was a bit boring.
"We haven't even competed yet, so why did Master Mo say that the outcome has been decided?" Someone asked in confusion.
"At first glance, you look like an outsider and don't understand this. This jade is divided into three, six or nine grades, which are distinguished by water color. Naturally, the raw stones are also divided into three, six or nine grades. They can still be divided into mountain materials, water stones and
Half mountain and half water.”
"This mountain material is the material that grows naturally on the mountain. This kind of material is divided into thick-skinned, thin-skinned and skinless. Usually mountain material has edges and corners, rough and loose structure, little water head, and is easy to crack. This boy chose
Among the three pieces of ingredients, two are made from mountain ingredients. To put it bluntly, they are low-end products. Even if there are green ingredients, there won’t be many good things in them.”
"This guy's last stone is half mountain and half water. This kind of material is a kind of raw material between mountain material and water stone. Usually, the material from the mountain is transported to the river by the water flow after special circumstances such as landslides.
, and then washed by rivers, although this type of material contains water, due to the special formation process, there are usually lines and cracks inside, making it difficult to produce high-value materials."
"And the three materials that Master Jiang chose are all water stones, and they are extremely superior among water stones, the best among the best. Although this kind of material is also a mountain stone washed down the river, it takes a long time to settle, and the water head is sufficient.
, the appearance is round, the skin is thin and transparent, and you can get a glimpse of it just from the outside. The value of something made from this kind of material will naturally be much higher."
The people next to me immediately started talking non-stop, obviously knowing a lot about raw jadeite.
"Yes, the stone chosen by Jiang Ming is extremely rare even among water stones. I don't know how long it has been deposited. If I guessed correctly, these materials should all come from Mine No. 48!" Mo Mo
Tao said, stroking his beard.
"What, Pit No. 48?" Hearing this, the face of the person who spoke before changed drastically once again.
"What happened to Pit No. 48?" Looking at the expressions of the two people, he asked again in confusion before speaking.
"Pit No. 48 is a mine north of Haicheng. It is a famous old pit. In the previous pit, even two pieces of imperial green rough stone were produced!"
Hearing the explanation, many people around him took a breath. These people are all interested in jade, so they naturally know what imperial green means. Such materials are simply hard to come by. Two pieces appear in one pit.
The imperial green material is simply terrifying.
If a pit can produce such good materials, how can the other rough stones in it be bad?
"This kid is destined to lose. With such good material, there is no need to compete."
"That's right, this kid really doesn't know the heights of the world. A layman actually tries to challenge Master Lu's direct disciple."
Everyone was talking and looking at Chen Dong with disdain, obviously convinced that he would lose.
"Haha, Chen Dong, I think this bet must go ahead. How about this? I'll give you a chance to surrender. All you have to do is admit in public that you are not as good as me, and I can save you some face." Jiang Ming sneered.
, looked at Chen Dong with contempt.
Obviously, he has determined that Chen Dong cannot win at all!
"Hey, that's all." Mo Tao shook his head and felt there was no need to read any more, so he turned around and left.
"Who said that good things can't come out of mountain materials? Seven years ago, in the shocking showdown in the Capital of Jade, I remember that Stone King Feng Shan won the bet with a piece of mountain materials, right?"
Facing Jiang Ming's ridicule, Chen Dong was not afraid at all, but spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Tao's steps suddenly stopped.
"Seven years ago..."
Mo Tao's cloudy eyes burst into light, and his hands behind his back started to tremble slightly.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mo Tao's reaction, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him asked in confusion. It was the first time that he saw his master being so excited.
"It's nothing." Mo Tao took a deep breath and turned back again, his eyes flickering. The way he looked at Chen Dong seemed to suddenly become different.
He originally thought that Chen Dong was an outsider, but when he announced the name of Stone King Feng Shan, he fell silent, and his impression of Chen Dong was completely different.
A person who knows Stone King Fengshan is definitely not just a layman who knows nothing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Chen Dong's words, he burst out laughing when they met, his expression becoming more and more contemptuous, "You also know that that is Stone King Feng Shan, you don't think you have such good luck like Feng Shan, do you?"
luck?
The corner of Chen Dong's mouth raised slightly, and a sneer flashed across his eyes. Stone King Feng Shan, a man who has long stood at the pinnacle of the jade circle, how could it be as simple as luck?
"Whether my luck is good or not, you will know if you try it." Chen Dong smiled lightly and remained calm.
Mo Tao on the side saw this and started to look at Chen Dong seriously for the first time.
"I'm afraid this kid is not easy." He said with emotion, while stroking his beard, he suddenly found that this gambling battle had become interesting.
"You damn duck has a tough mouth, haha, I will convince you to lose right now!"
Seeing that Chen Dong still refused to give in, Jiang Ming sneered and said directly to the stone cutter beside him, "Open these three pieces of material!"
"Okay!"
The stone cutter agreed, quickly selected one of the stones and put it on the machine, while asking Jiang Ming how to cut it.
With the operation of the machine, the whole piece of jade was quickly cut open. The stone cutter swallowed and carefully moved the top piece away. A touch of aqua blue came into view, like clear lake water, which made people's eyes bright.
.
"This is... ice-glutinous blue jade, no cotton, no cracks, no dirt, top quality, top quality. Such a big piece is worth at least three million!" Someone said excitedly, his hands trembling with excitement.
He has seen many blue emeralds, but most of them are dull in color, and there are more floating blue ones. This kind of full-blue jade is good, and this is the first time he has seen even brighter blue.
"Three million!"
Someone took a breath. Blue jadeite is usually not very valuable. Three million is actually quite astonishing.
"As expected of Master Lu's disciple, he is so powerful. This first piece is so amazing, worth three million. It seems that Master Jiang will definitely win today." Someone said with emotion, looking at it with admiration.
By Jiang Ming.
"Hey, three million, tsk tsk, that's less." Jiang Ming said lightly, as if he was telling Chen Dong.
"Chen Dong, Chen Dong, I told you to admit defeat and have to go against me. Now you know what it means to humiliate yourself."
When he thought of Chen Dong losing to him and finally kneeling humbly in front of him to apologize, he felt extremely excited.
"This is the first piece. I haven't lost yet, so don't worry." Chen Dong responded calmly, his face unchanged.
"Okay, in that case, I will convince you that you have lost. Come on, let's open the second stone!" Jiang Ming snorted coldly and directed the stone cutter to continue cutting the second stone!
