Huang Tian took the marker and drew a circle on the most surfaced area on the stone that needed to be cut.
When the stone was beginning to get cut, quite a few people came to look, all of them seemed to be very familiar with stones and jades as they spoke between themselves.
"I saw that big stone at old Ye's place for almost a week now, no one wants to buy this big stone, just from its look, it is clearly a useless one, even if there's a jade inside, it would also be a damaged one."
"Right, I saw that it was that youngster who bought the stone."
"Humph, the youngsters nowadays are clearly inexperience and stubborn."
"Right, they should at least listen to ones with experience, sigh."
"…"
The people who came to look were clearly the people who just wanted to ridicule Huang Tian for his stupidity.
Though they didn't say it out loud, Huang Tian could still hear them clearly. He didn't bother with them, just let them said all they wanted to, after the stone was done cutting, it would be the time for Huang Tian to retaliate them back.
Although the stone seemed to be useless, the stone cutter which happened to be the very same seller, old Ye, still concentrated his best to cut, he understood that nothing was impossible and it was also a form of respecting the customer. He had been cutting the stone for a long time now, what kind of situations he didn't encounter? He himself, knew about it clearly.
The process of cutting was just 3/10 done.
The effect of Huang Tian's eye was still there; the five minutes' limit had not arrived yet. As a result, Huang Tian didn't want to waste it and he went ahead and bought a quite few more stones which had bright lights, he was already familiar with the ability so it didn't take him too long to buy the ones with the lights inside. Huang Tian didn't want to buy too many; it would be too suspicious if the stones that he bought were all with fine jades.
Once was luck, twice was coincident, thrice was fate, however, as for the fourth time, there would be something fishy in there for sure. Though he bought quite a few more stones, Huang Tian didn't plan to cut all of them, he would cut only two more, as for the rest, he would cut them at the other time. Also, each of the stone that Huang Tian bought, none of them were bought at the same place, he bought every single one of them from different places, no one felt suspicious of Huang Tian either, something like this was extremely normal.
The process of buying more stones was not that long, Huang Tian had nearly three minutes left, so it was enough.
Huang Tian came back to the place that his stone was being cut. Currently, the cutting arrived at an essential part of the stone, however, for a veteran like old Ye who had been cutting the stones for quite a few years now, it could be done without much sweat.
The majority of the stone had been cut, so it was possible to take a peek inside of the stone if there was a jade or not. It was also the habit of most stone cutter that they would peek inside the stone.
Old Ye peeked the inside via the already-cut line and he was surprised to see something red. When the people around saw his expression, they were curious and asked him "Old Ye, is there something inside?"
"I think there is, I saw something red, it must be in the Red Jade category."
"Really? But even if there is, the jade should be a low grade one or a damaged one." The man clearly didn't want to believe it.
"Shh, don't disturb me, it's a crucial part here." Old Ye didn't want to bother himself with the other man, if there was a mistake while cutting, the entire stone might break apart.
The man didn't say anything anymore, he just stood there silently with his friends, waiting for the cut to be finished.
After a few more minutes, the last area of the stone had finally cut off the stone. However, old Ye didn't show what was inside, he covered the already-cut place with the stone piece that was cut off.
"The owner should be the one to uncover it." Old Ye said that as he gestured Huang Tian to let him uncover the stone.
Huang Tian didn't hesitate as he went ahead and uncovered it. As soon as he took the lid away, Huang Tian saw that the jade inside was in red color and it was very bright.
Old Ye also saw the red jade, his eyes almost popped out of the socket.
"T-this…, t-his red jade is…, I forgot its name."
Huang Tian almost gave old Ye a punch in his mouth.
If you don't know what it is then why are you so shock?
Suddenly, someone among the crowd said loudly "I know what this jade is. The transparency, the texture, the luster, the clarity and the color, this is without a doubt the Crimson Star Imperial Jade. Though this one doesn't lay itself in the best grade, it is without a doubt a high grade Crimson Star Imperial Jade, the extremely rare among rare jadeite jade."
When the people around heard this, they were very astonished, though some of them never heard of Crimson Star Imperial Jade, they were able to determine that it was an extremely rare jade, because whichever jade had the word 'Imperial' in it, it was without a doubt a high grade jade.
The person who recognized the jade was an old man seemed to be in his sixties, when the crowd saw him, they instantly recognized him.
"It's Mr. Fang, the Jade Master."
"The Jade Master? Oh damn, it's really him, why would a high figure like him come here?"
"You ask me then who am I supposed to ask?"
Huang Tian had no idea what the Crimson Star Imperial Jade was or who was the old man, he only knew that his jade should be able to fetch a high price if he sold it, but he had another plan for it.
Huang Tian came forward and asked the old man "Grandpa here, may I ask, can you explain about it more clearly."
"Haha, from the looks of it, you are a novice in jadeite right? Seeing it is fate today, then let me explain. All the jades which has the word Imperial in it, then they are the high grade jade. Well for the types of jade, Jadeite Jade or Nephrite Jade, it is more or so the same. The imperial jade is mostly focused on transparency, like this Crimson Star Imperial Jade, the transparency is very high as well as its luster. What's the most unique about the Crimson Star Imperial Jade is that this jade won't get damaged even if staying underwater for a few decades, in ancient time, the imperial family considered this jade to be their Lucky Star. Well young lad, I'm telling you, your jade should be even more expensive than the jadeite jade that used to make the Circle of Heaven a year ago."
When the people heard the name the Circle of Heaven, they almost choked their saliva, their heartbeat also became increasingly fast. Even big uncle Huang was no exception either, he was not alien to the Circle of Heaven too, he remembered that at that time, the two big shots almost declared war at each other just because of a jade bracelet.
"The Circle of Heaven bracelet, if I remember correctly, it was won by a big shot at an astronomical price, almost 100 million yuan." (A/N: Around 14 million USD.)
"That's right, it was indeed a perfect creation of nature, but it was as rare as the Crimson Star Imperial Jade. You can go looking around the world, the people who owned the red imperial jade could only count on both hands, most of them are also from the noble family or the top powerful family." Mr. Fang added as he continued "The maximum price of this one should be near the Hutton-Mdivani Necklace."
"That necklace? Holy sh*t, that necklace was sold at nearly 200 million yuan. I heard that the final winner was an extremely enormous person, the auction even took place on a private island on the Pacific Ocean."
However, while the people was discussing over this pricey red jade, little did they know that soon a trouble would erupt because of the Crimson Star Imperial Jade.
Huang Tian also felt that something would happen soon because of this red jade, Huang Tian regretted cutting the stone in the public like this. A super rare item like this would always attract malicious intention, it was no lucky star at all, unless Huang Tian was a powerful figure.
Big uncle Huang was an experience man, as a result, he immediately ordered his bodyguards to guard the jade. His four bodyguards took out their guns and stood around the jade as their eyes were observing the crowds fiercely.
Seeing this, Huang Tian thought that his uncle's bodyguards should be trustworthy, if not, he wouldn't let them protect the jade.
Huang Tian also observed the four bodyguards' expression, he didn't catch any suspicious thing either. Though Huang Tian himself was strong, he was not strong enough to evade the bullet, at least not yet.
The people there also understood the situation, but they just continued their conversation normally and they expected that today, the hottest topic would be about the Crimson Star Imperial Jade and its lucky owner.
