Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Huacheng is very close to Foshan; it takes less than an hour to drive there.

Pingzhou Jade Street is located in Guicheng Subdistrict, Nanhai District, Foshan City. It is one of the four major jade markets in China and the largest distribution center for jadeite rough stones in the country.

Xu Xing parked his car in the parking lot outside the jade street and then walked into the block.

As soon as you enter the jade street, a strong commercial atmosphere hits you.

The streets are lined with various jade shops, ranging from luxuriously decorated brand flagship stores to simple processing stalls built with corrugated iron sheds.

The shop entrance was filled with all kinds of finished jade products: bracelets, pendants, cabochons, ornaments... a dazzling array of items, everything imaginable.

But Xu Xing's goal was not these finished products, but gambling on stones.

He walked along the street, through the bustling crowds, and finally stopped in front of a shop with a sign that read "Wholesale of Burmese Jadeite Rough Stones".

The shop is very large, about two or three hundred square meters, and it is filled with jadeite rough stones of various sizes.

Some of the rough stones have already been cut open, revealing the jade inside, and are displayed in prominent positions with high prices.

Some of them have their original pelt intact and are sorted and stacked in different areas according to weight and condition.

There were already more than a dozen customers looking at the stones in the shop. Some were carefully examining them with powerful flashlights, while others were haggling with the shop owner. The atmosphere was very lively.

Xu Xing didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he took a walk around the store and activated his X-ray vision.

The gaze penetrates the outer skin of those rough stones, reaching straight to their interior.

He saw all sorts of jadeite: bean-type, glutinous-type, icy-type, and glassy-type...

The colors are also varied, including green, purple, yellow, and white...

However, most of the raw stones have poor jade quality inside, either with too many cracks, too pale color, or poor texture and clarity.

Truly high-quality jadeite accounts for a very small percentage of this pile of rough stones.

Xu Xing walked slowly and calmly, examining each piece one by one.

His gaze lingered for a moment on a pile of low-priced betting materials.

These fully rough stones mostly weigh only a few kilograms, have an average skin appearance, and lack obvious pine flower patterns and python skin. Their prices range from several hundred to several thousand.

Most buyers are not very interested in these stones, believing that the probability of finding a good one is too low.

But Xu Xing knew that sometimes it was precisely these seemingly worthless stones that held the most surprises.

He examined each stone one by one, his X-ray vision precisely scanning the internal structure of each rough stone.

His pupils contracted slightly when his gaze fell on a piece of black jadeite rough weighing only about three kilograms.

The rough stone had a dark black outer skin with a rough surface and no obvious markings.

To the average person, this is just an ordinary piece of black jadeite, with an extremely low probability of yielding high-quality jadeite, and it might even contain nothing at all.

But with his X-ray vision, Xu Xing saw a completely different scene.

Inside that piece of black sand, there was actually a dense green color!

The green was so lush and vibrant, like a pool of solidified turquoise water, shimmering with a lustrous sheen under the light.

Most importantly, the green color of the seed is excellent, meeting the standard of glass-type seed!

Xu Xing's heart skipped a beat.

Imperial Green Glass!

This is the highest grade of jadeite!

He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, and walked calmly to the pile of gambling materials. He squatted down, picked up a few stones, and examined them.

"Boss, how much for this stone?"

He turned to look at the shop owner and asked casually.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with dark skin, who spoke Mandarin with a Minnan accent.

He glanced at the stone in Xu Xing's hand and casually said, "That one is two thousand a kilogram. This one is probably a little over three kilograms. I'll give you a ten thousand."

Xu Xing frowned: "Ten thousand? That's too expensive. The exterior doesn't look very good, and it's hard to say whether there's anything inside."

"Brother, this is genuine Burmese black jasmine, directly from the source!"

The shop owner quickly explained, "Don't let its unattractive appearance fool you; black jadeite has a much higher probability of yielding high-quality jadeite than other types!"

"High probability? Then why don't you cut it yourself?"

Xu Xing smiled, put down the stone, and said, "Ten thousand. If you can sell it, I'll take it; if not, forget it."

The shop owner hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xu Xing, then at the stone, and finally gritted his teeth: "Fine! Ten thousand it is! Consider it making friends!"

Xu Xing took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay, then picked up the stone and walked out of the shop under the watchful eyes of the shop owner and other customers.

Instead of leaving the jade street, he carried the stone and went into a processing shop that specializes in stone cutting services.

"Master, please cut this stone for me."

He placed the stone on the worktable and spoke to the stonecutter.

The stone cutter was an old man in his fifties, wearing reading glasses. He glanced at the black jade stone and shook his head: "Young man, with this kind of outer layer, nine out of ten cuts will fail. Are you sure you want to cut it?"

"OK, let's cut it."

Xu Xing spoke with certainty.

Seeing his insistence, the stone cutter stopped trying to dissuade him, fixed the stone according to the lines he had drawn, and started the cutting machine.

The blade spins at high speed, emitting a piercing hiss, and slowly cuts into the stone.

Xu Xing stood to the side, appearing calm on the surface, but he was somewhat nervous inside.

Although X-ray vision has confirmed the presence of high-quality jadeite inside, the process of cutting the stone is always fraught with uncertainty.

If the cut is crooked, or if there are hidden cracks inside the jade, the loss could be huge.

The sound of the cutter lasted for about two minutes, then stopped abruptly.

The stone cutter stopped the machine and rinsed the cut surface with water.

The moment that lush green was exposed to the air, the entire processing shop fell silent.

The stone cutter's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

"Imperial Green of the Glassy Type?"

His voice was trembling.

Xu walked forward, looked at the cross-section, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

On the cut surface, the rich green color shimmered with a lustrous sheen under the light, indicating excellent quality and vibrant color, without any cracks or impurities.

perfect!

"Hey bro, are you selling this rock?"

The stone cutter, regaining his composure, excitedly asked, "I'll offer eight million!"

Xu Xing shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not selling."

"Ten million!"

The stone cutter gritted his teeth and added another two million.

Xu Xing shook his head again.

"Ten million, twenty thousand!"

The stone cutter's voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Xing shook his head again.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the stone cutter could only sigh regretfully and continue cutting the stone for him.

Ultimately, the three-kilogram piece of black jadeite yielded a nearly one-kilogram piece of imperial green glass-type jadeite.

Based on market prices, the price of this quality of jadeite raw material is between ten million and fifteen million per kilogram.

In other words, Xu Xing used 10,000 yuan to acquire a top-grade jadeite worth nearly 20 million yuan!

That's the allure of jade gambling.

One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, one cut leaves you in rags.

With the aid of X-ray vision, Xu Xing's every strike is a guaranteed profit.

He carefully put away the jadeite raw material, then left the processing shop and continued strolling along the jade street.

Throughout the day, he made three more attempts, each one hitting the target precisely.

The three rough stones cost less than three million yuan in total, but the jadeite raw materials cut from them were worth nearly one hundred million yuan.

Xu Xing looked at the several pieces of vibrant green jadeite raw materials in his dantian space, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

This trip to Guangzhou was worth the price of admission just for the jade gambling alone.

As dusk fell, he drove back to his hotel in Huacheng.

Tomorrow, Li Yuting's exchange match will begin.

He promised to cheer her on.
