After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Boss Ye, since you've helped me authenticate the Yuan blue and white porcelain, I'll naturally keep my word. Let's go pick out the raw stones."

I hope you can pick out a piece that will amaze everyone at tonight's treasure-hunting competition.

Zhuoma led Ye Tian toward the raw stone warehouse.

Her raw stone warehouse was located deep in a secluded basement, heavily guarded.

There were cranes and hoists next to it, presumably used for transporting raw stones up and down.

"Activate the Heavenly Eye Divine Power."

Ye Tian activated his X-ray vision and treasure appraisal abilities, scanning the raw stones one by one, but none of them satisfied him.

Although many raw stones can fetch prices of several million, they are far from reaching the level of top-grade glass-type jadeite.

Suddenly, a huge rock lying alone in the open space caught Ye Tian's attention.

It is indeed very large, like a small artificial mountain, but because the surface is so bad, with numerous cracks and a rough texture, it looks like a piece of waste material.

"This one will do," Ye Tian said casually.

"Huh? Mr. Ye, why don't you choose again?"

The outer skin of this boulder is as rough as old tree bark.

It was also covered with spiderweb-like cracks and pits of varying depths.

Some areas even have sand holes formed by weathering, making them loose and lacking the delicate feel that top-grade raw stones should have.

Many experienced jade gambling clients have seen it, and they all shook their heads.

I was just about to throw it into the pond in the yard as scrap material to make a rockery.

Zhuoma kindly reminded him that since she said Ye Tian could choose whatever he wanted, she wouldn't feel bad if Ye Tian chose the priceless raw stone.

All the rough stones in Kuli are completely gambled. No matter how expensive the rough stone Ye Tian chooses, that's all due to his skill.

Ye Tian slowly walked around the boulder, his fingers touching its cold, rough outer shell, feeling the cracks and loose structure of the boulder.

Judging from its appearance alone, it is undoubtedly waste material.

But it penetrates the rough surface and crisscrossing cracks, continuing deeper.

At the very center of the megalith, there was a breathtaking splash of purple.

It was so rich it seemed to drip, yet so clear it was free of impurities, like the tears of a legendary elf.

Others cannot see it, but Ye Tian can see it with his X-ray vision.

With just a fleeting glance, Ye Tian knew that this stone was definitely the most valuable of all the raw stones here.

"I'll choose this one, no changing it," Ye Tian said firmly.

"Alright then, it's almost time. Let's use the crane to lift the stone up, and then go to the venue to have it cut on the spot."

Zhuoma turned her head and gave instructions to her subordinates behind her.

At this moment, many people have already arrived at the venue of the Treasure Trading Conference.

When Ye Tianxuan's giant stone arrived at the raw stone venue, many people around were stunned.

"Who brought such a huge piece of scrap to participate in the treasure trading conference?"

Isn't this just for fun?

"That's right, everyone else brings their most precious treasures to the treasure trading event."

They can both make a name for themselves and exchange their favorite treasures.

This guy brought in a huge piece of scrap material; isn't that just making a fool of himself?

The crowd was waiting to see a joke.

"Whose stone is this? Open it first, don't just sit here taking up space without doing anything."

"That's right, open the stone, open the stone!"

Ye Tian originally wanted to wait until Zhang Shouren and Sun Yutang were all present before starting the meeting, but seeing so many people eager to start only to be proven wrong, he felt helpless.

"Then let's cut the stone!" Ye Tian nodded to Zhuoma.

At the highest point of the venue, there were four chairs, presumably the seats of the four managers of the Ghost Market.

Zhuoma was the third oldest among the four managers and the only woman among them.

The host immediately understood when he saw Zhuoma waving.

"Hello to all my friends who have come from all over the world."

Please welcome the first rough stone of today's Treasure Hunt Trading Event. We will now begin the live stone cutting process.

The host had just finished speaking.

Zhuoma then had the largest cutting machine brought over!

"Open the stone!"

The entire room erupted in excitement.

Only Zhuoma seemed slightly worried.

This piece of material is clearly scrap, so why did Ye Tian choose it? Did Ye Tian really see something special about it?

The diesel generator roared to life, and spotlights focused on the massive piece of waste.

With the combined efforts of several strong men, using thick steel cables and cranes, they painstakingly moved the boulder to a temporary, more sturdy iron cutting platform.

"Buzz..."

The blades of the large diamond cutting machine began to spin rapidly, and the water cooling system sprayed out white water mist.

Everyone held their breath; only the sound of the machines echoed in the hall.

Zhuoma stood at the highest point, looking down at everything, and clenched her hands tightly.

She had just witnessed Ye Tian's ability to appraise treasures, and now she hoped that Ye Tian could bring her another surprise in selecting stones.

Although Ye Tian is famous, it is far less convincing than seeing it with one's own eyes.

"Mr. Ye, I heard that the stone being mined now is yours?"

Sun Yutang finally squeezed in.

Because it was the first stone to be cut on-site tonight, and also a controversial one, a lot of people came to watch the spectacle.

The place was packed with people, three or four layers deep.

Sun Yutang had managed to get Ye Tian an admission ticket, but unexpectedly, Ye Tian became a guest of honor of Sister Zhuo in just a few hours.

With Sister Zhuo's invitation, why would I need an admission ticket?

Sun Yutang had been running an antique shop for many years and was skilled at recognizing people and appraising treasures. His eyes were quite discerning, and he knew Ye Tian was no ordinary person the moment he saw him.

He just didn't expect Ye Tian to be even more powerful than he had imagined.

Sister Zhuo actually arranged for Ye Tian's stone to be the first one to be opened at the Treasure Crafting and Trading Conference.

It's important to know that at the annual Treasure Trading Conference, the first speaker is always a very important person.

The fact that Ye Tian was arranged by Sister Zhuo to be the first to appear at the opening shows that his identity is definitely not simple.

"Boss Sun, you're here. What do you think of this stone?" Ye Tian greeted Sun Yutang warmly and beckoned him over for a closer look.

"Mr. Ye, the rough stone you chose must be excellent."

Even if it looks like a pile of dog poop on the outside, the inside is definitely a gold nugget wrapped in dog poop!

Sun Yutang said with great conviction.

"You really trust me that much? What if he's just a piece of dog poop?"

Ye Tian smiled upon hearing this; this Sun Yutang was an interesting person.

"Even if it really is a pile of dog poop, it's a one-of-a-kind pile of dog poop, hahaha."

Just then, someone exclaimed, "Look, it's open! It's open!"

Everyone turned their attention to the rough stone that was about to be opened.

"Sizzle!"

The blade finally sliced ​​through the stone, sparking dazzling flames. Stone dust and water mist spread out, forming a small waterfall that cascaded down.

Because the rough stone was too large, the cutting process was slow, and the gap in the cut was only gradually widening at this point.

The crowd began to grow impatient and restless.

There's nothing there...

"Still just dusty, gray stones..."

"I told you, this is just a piece of junk, we ruined it, didn't we?"

Ye Tian remained calm and composed, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Zhuoma's heart was in her throat. Despite everyone's objections, she put Ye Tian's raw stone first to be cut.

If the operation were to fail, her already precarious position would be even more jeopardized.

Just as the questioning was about to reach its peak.

"Snap." The rough stone was completely cut open.

The next second, along the deep cut, a dazzling luster suddenly refracted out!

It was a pure, breathtaking purple that suddenly burst into view from the stone.

"My God, it's purple! It's an extremely rare violet jade!"

The onlookers could no longer contain their excitement and shouted out.
