My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

With Su Muchen's instructions, the stone cutter cut one side and immediately started cutting the other side without stopping. Even if the first side turned out green, he didn't make a sound.

"Look everyone, is it turning green?"

"It looks like it's turning green, but the master's hand is blocking the view, so it's not very clear."

"Don't rush. This time, the young man won't leave any suspense. He'll have the master cut it open on both sides, and we'll soon know whether it's going up or down."

The audience didn't have to wait long. Soon, the stone-cutting master cut the stone in half, and the scene immediately became excited when the cut sides were revealed to everyone.

"Holy crap, what am I seeing? This is another piece of jadeite that's entirely glassy in texture."

"It's true! I almost doubted my eyes. I never expected it, never in a million years! Two pieces of glass-type jadeite have appeared right here! This young man is amazing!"

"Moreover, this piece is more transparent than the previous one, and it's also much larger. In other words, the price of this piece will be significantly higher than the previous one."

"The price has increased significantly; given the scarcity of imperial green jadeite, this glass-type jadeite can be considered of the highest quality. If it were large enough, calling it the 'King of Stones' wouldn't be an exaggeration."

"I don't know how much this rough stone will eventually sell for, but I think it will be worth no less than 35 million."

Everyone present was awestruck when they saw the exposed cut surface of the rough stone. Its quality was far superior to the previous one, and it could be said to be the highest quality among glass-type stones. The only stone comparable to it was Imperial Green.

"Brother Su, you're defying the heavens! Both rough stones have yielded top-quality jadeite. How incredibly lucky do you have to be to receive such favor from the heavens?"

Qian Yutang was taken aback by the quality of the rough stone, and at the same time, he was full of curiosity about Su Muchen's identity. He said it was incredible luck, but in his heart he already regarded Su Muchen as an "awesome" stone appraisal master, no, he should say a stone appraisal grandmaster.

To be able to select two rough stones that would increase in value a hundredfold solely by luck, and without even having a "window" opened, is just pure luck. If you told people this, they would think you were a fool.

Since it wasn't luck, all that was left was real skill. However, Qian Yutang couldn't understand why Su Muchen, who looked like a young man who had just come of age, would possess such advanced skills at such a young age, even if he had started learning about stone appraisal in the womb.

You have to understand, those legendary stone appraisers all have accumulated decades of experience to have a high probability of not making mistakes. If those long-established stone appraisers knew about this situation, they would probably really dig a hole and crawl inside.

"So, Brother Qian, do you want this rough stone?"

Faced with Qian Yutang's flattery, Su Muchen simply smiled slightly. He had already known about this situation, so he was completely unmoved.

"Yes, of course I want it. Brother Su, I'll offer 40 million for this rough stone. What do you think of that price?"

Qian Yutang came to the trade fair to buy high-quality raw stones, and he had prepared ample funds for this purpose. Now that he had encountered jadeite of excellent quality, how could he possibly refuse it?

"Brother Qian, your price seems a bit too high. How about we lower it to thirty-six million?"

Although Su Muchen wasn't entirely sure of the exact price of the rough stone, he had a rough idea from the discussions among the onlookers. It was estimated to be between 35 million and 38 million. Qian Yutang's offer of 40 million was clearly inflated, and Su Muchen didn't want to rip Qian Yutang off.

"No, Brother Su, forty million is not high at all. This top-quality jadeite is extremely rare and hard to come by. If it were put at an auction, it might fetch an even higher price. Although forty million does exceed its market value, it is worth it for me to befriend a capable person like you. I hope you will not refuse."

"Well... alright then, thanks, Brother Qian!"

Since Qian Yutang had already put it this way, it wouldn't be right for Su Muchen to refuse. However, he made up his mind that since Qian Yutang was so good at dealing with people, Su Muchen would help him if he encountered any problems in the future.

Soon, Liu Ziyan received a message from the bank that a total of 68 million yuan had been deposited into her account. This made Liu Ziyan, a wealthy woman with a net worth of billions, extremely excited.

"Miss Liu, now you believe I was right, right?"

Seeing Liu Ziyan's excited expression, Su Muchen couldn't help but tease her.

"Yes, Mr. Su, I was short-sighted. Don't worry, I won't interfere with whatever you do from now on."

Soon, Qian Yutang arranged for people to transport the two valuable raw stones away, but he himself did not leave; instead, he followed Su Muchen.

"Hey... young man, I really didn't expect you to be so lucky. You picked out two rough stones that would increase in value a hundredfold on your first try. Congratulations! Do you want to pick out a few more? All the rough stones here are from famous mines."

Just as Su Muchen and his companions were about to leave, the stall owner came running over eagerly, with a fawning and obsequious attitude.

Actually, when Su Muchen unearthed two pieces of jade worth tens of millions, the most excited person was the stall owner. After all, he was the one who sold these two rough stones. If he had known that these two rough stones would have such an outrageous increase in value, he would never have sold them even if he were beaten to death.

That's how it is with the raw stone trade. Once it's sold, whether the price goes up or down is no longer the seller's concern. No matter how much you regret it, you can only swallow your pride and bear it.

The reason the stall owner was so enthusiastic was because the two rough stones Su Muchen had just bought came from his stall. If Su Muchen could buy a few more, the stall owner could make a small profit and soothe his wounded heart.

"Boss, the quality of your rough stones is indeed quite good. It's clear you're a conscientious merchant. However, I think these two valuable rough stones are enough. We should also leave some for others, so I won't be picky."

Su Muchen's words were true. Although he didn't care about the remaining rough stones, it didn't mean they wouldn't appreciate in value. There were still quite a few that could be cut and appreciated, but the appreciation wouldn't be significant, so it wasn't worth Su Muchen's time.

"Hey! Do you think what that guy said is true? Are the rough stones at this stall really that good?"

"Are you stupid? You believe what people say? If that's true, why doesn't he just buy more? He's obviously trying to fool us."

"I disagree with you. That young man only picked two rough stones and found jadeite worth a fortune. This shows that he is indeed quite capable. The reason why we stopped picking is, as the young man said, that people have already found valuable jadeite here. Don't you understand the principle of knowing when to stop?"

"I agree with what this boss said. Although I'm not a stone appraisal master, I've been in this business for many years. I've observed that the rough stones at this stall are indeed of good quality. Many of them have a very good appearance. Maybe, as the young man said, there are some rough stones among them that could appreciate in value significantly."

"Come on, let's pick out two!"

"Yes, yes, let's go pick out a couple first, before someone else takes all the good ones!"

The crowd, upon hearing Su Muchen's conversation with the stall owner, immediately lost their composure. Although some remained skeptical, most believed Su Muchen's words and began scrambling to select the raw stones from the stall, fearing that someone else would snatch away those stones that could appreciate in value if they were a step too slow.

"Hehe! Boss, look how enthusiastic everyone is, there's no need for me to buy anything, go collect the money!"

"Brother, I really have to thank you for this, thanks!"

The stall owner wasn't stupid. If it weren't for Su Muchen's words, these onlookers wouldn't have been scrambling to buy his raw stones.
