Chapter 61 - 61 0061 Emperor Green Stone
61: Chapter 0061: Emperor Green Stone 61: Chapter 0061: Emperor Green Stone Everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment.
After all, this was gambling on stones, and it wasn’t at all strange for jade to be found within a stone, but a piece of jade the size of a human head was indeed rare.
“Not bad, Mr.
Divine Eye, this accuracy is truly divine!”
“Who can argue with that?
A human head-sized piece of jade, it seems that this round of competition, the Ouyang Family is set to win!”
Mr.
Ouyang initially froze for a moment and then a few smirks ensued on his face.
The more valuable the item selected by Luo Tianmu, the better it was for him.
This gambling stone competition was divided into ten rounds, and Mr.
Ouyang had already considered himself the winner of the first round in his heart!
“Old Man Duan, this piece of jade looks quite exquisite, huh?
When your day comes, just let me know, and I’ll give it to you to use as your urn; it’ll be perfect!”
With a mischievous smile, Mr.
Ouyang made the quip, while Duan Congxing’s face turned an ashen blue.
He had naturally heard of Mr.
Divine Eye’s fame but hadn’t expected him to be so miraculous, causing his anxious gaze to fall on Chris.
“Don’t…
worry!” Chris, managing his unproficient Chinese, patted the stone in his hand: “Jade…
isn’t necessarily better when bigger, it’s still…
about the value!
You…
Huaxia people, all like…
to jump to conclusions, don’t you?”
“Humph!” Mr.
Ouyang snorted coldly, and those around him didn’t offer any pleasant expressions either, clearly offended by Chris’s statement.
Duan Congxing’s expression also turned sour, squinting at Chris’s retreating figure and muttering: “Humph, if it weren’t for your value to me, I’d make sure you couldn’t leave Shanghai!”
“This one!” Chris moved the stone he was holding to the edge of the table.
“Hahahaha…” Most people in the room burst into laughter, because the stone Chris had picked was only palm-sized, and even if it yielded jade, it obviously couldn’t compare to that of Mr.
Divine Eye’s.
Unless there was an extremely rare find inside, but such odds were truly slim, even Mr.
Divine Eye could not guarantee it.
However, Chu Ge, who had been silently observing next to Mr.
Ouyang, frowned, feeling a spiritual energy that was much purer emanating from this stone, even several times denser than the jade the size of a human head!
The staff members on site picked up the stone and began to polish it slowly.
Soon, the outer layer of stone skin was peeled away, revealing no sign of the luster of jade within, seemingly just an ordinary piece of waste stone!
“Shall we continue opening it?” At this point, the stone was only half the size of a palm, and Duan Congxing’s complexion was turning rather dark.
“Old Man Duan, still struggling?” Mr.
Ouyang laughed heartily, patting the human head-sized jade in front of him: “Seems there’s unlikely to be anything good left in this stone, worst comes to worst, I’ll give you this piece of head-sized jade later, just right for an urn!”
“Hmph—” Duan Congxing coldly snorted and growled: “Continue opening!”
Unlike the others who were sure of their victory, Chu Ge furrowed his brows even more.
With each layer of the stone’s outer shell peeled back, the sensation of the spiritual energy became increasingly evident.
“Eh, what’s this?” Suddenly, the Stone Opener exclaimed softly.
At this point, the stone was only the size of a goose egg, but at its edge, a glimmer of emerald green luster was revealed, shimmering under the spotlight like a star in the night sky!
Luo Tianmu’s expression revealed shock and uncertainty upon seeing that hint of luster; Mr.
Ouyang, recognizing Luo Tianmu’s reaction, also became serious and stared intently at the stone.
The Stone Opener’s movements became cautious, and as the stone’s skin was peeled off piece by piece, a bright emerald green luster began to emerge.
“Is this…,” Luo Tianmu’s expression stiffened as he blurted out, “Emperor Green?”
The jade before them was only the size of an egg, but it was translucent and refined throughout.
If this piece of jade were carved into a leaf, there wouldn’t even be a need to dye it—just carving out the veins would bring it vividly to life!
“Ha ha ha…
Ha ha ha ha!” Duan Congxing laughed wildly, his crow’s feet crinkling as he crowed, “Ouyang Yunbao, looks like I’ve won this first round!”
Mr.
Ouyang turned to look at Luo Tianmu, only to see him shaking his head: “Emperor Green is extraordinary.
Even though it is only the size of an egg, it is much more valuable than my piece of jade.
Indeed, I have lost!”
Upon receiving Luo Tianmu’s response, Mr.
Ouyang’s expression darkened, but he said nothing more, simply sighing, “No matter, I have seen for myself Mr.
Divine Eye’s capabilities.
There are still nine rounds to go, what does it matter to let them have this one?”
“You…
no good!” Klaus wagged his finger at Luo Tianmu, his emerald green eyes brimming with disdain, not bothering to hide it at all.
Luo Tianmu snorted coldly and didn’t engage, instead focusing intently on selecting another stone.
During this process, Chu Ge tried to sense which stones contained treasures and which were empty.
He was fully aware of each one.
However, he did not speak out.
After all, until now, no one had invited him, and as for Mr.
Ouyang, curing his body was already a grace, and there was no need to do more.
This time, the stones chosen by both parties were of similar size, but still, the one selected by Klaus turned out to be superior.
Duan Congxing’s smile could no longer be concealed, while Mr.
Ouyang, though his eyes showed some worry, maintained an undisturbed exterior.
Logically, both old men were patriarchs of their families, having weathered countless storms, and should not easily show emotion.
However, Chu Ge understood that Mr.
Duan’s erratic heartbeat was causing his emotions to be several times more intense than a normal person’s!
“What is with this abnormal Inner Strength?
Mr.
Duan’s meridians are blocked, his Dantian is closed, he is clearly an ordinary person—so who gave him this Inner Strength?” Chu Ge frowned in thought, obviously more captivated by this matter than the gambling stone.
As Chu Ge was engrossed in his contemplation, a tense atmosphere filled the room.
Luo Tianmu stared hard at the three stones before him, his fingers trembling slightly, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat—he had already lost four rounds in a row!
This time, even Mr.
Ouyang could no longer stay calm, using tea drinking to mask his emotions.
In contrast at Duan Congxing’s side, it seemed like even his muscles were frozen in a laugh.
Although he was silent, his face still sported an expression of laughter: “Ouyang Yunbao, are you still not giving up?
You won’t cry until you see the coffin, will you?”
At this moment, Mr.
Ouyang was not even looking at Luo Tianmu, trying not to put any pressure on him, and said, “No need to panic, Mr.
Divine Eye.
Just do your best.
Even if you lose, my Ouyang Family will still consider you an honored guest!”
“This one!” Luo Tianmu took a deep breath and finally pushed forward a stone.
This was the fifth round, out of a total of ten.
If he lost this time, he would be completely defeated!
