Heaven Defying X-ray Eyes

Ye Feng, carrying a heavy heart, left Chen Ling's home. His only goal at the moment was to make as much money as possible in the shortest time. For Chen Ling, and to vent the suffocation in his heart, he had to go all out.

But he knew in his heart that running an honest online store and hoping to get rich quickly was simply impossible—unless he was Ma Yun's son, it was out of the question.

"That's it, I'll go to stone gambling." Just when Ye Feng was extremely perplexed, he suddenly remembered the legend of overnight fortunes in the stone gambling world, and the idea of gambling on stones arose in his mind.

But stone gambling required capital. Without it, how could he even afford a piece of raw stone to gamble with?

For the sake of stone gambling, Ye Feng returned to his rental room and took out all his cash and bank cards. This time, it was all or nothing.

Ye Feng's savings added up to only about 30,000 yuan, not enough to afford even a decent piece of raw stone. At that moment, Ye Feng felt like a complete failure.

After withdrawing the money from the bank, Ye Feng took a taxi to the Longning Raw Stone Trading Market.

Good Fortune was the largest raw stone shop in the market. Ye Feng walked straight into Good Fortune. Although he was not an expert in stone gambling, he knew where the best raw stones came from.

Inside Good Fortune, a number of people had already gathered. Some stood in front of the stone cutting machines to watch the excitement, while others were picking raw stones, ready to make their moves.

Ye Feng didn't linger at the stone cutting area. Instead, he went straight to the raw stone selection area. He wasn't there to spectate; he was there for wealth.

Based on his experience and funds, Ye Feng chose a raw stone priced at 29,800 yuan. The surface and water of the raw stone looked good, and it was relatively large.

After paying, with the help of the staff, Ye Feng brought the raw stone to the stone cutting area. Seeing that a stone cutting machine had just become available, Ye Feng called over a staff member and placed the raw stone on the stone cutter.

"This stone is not bad. How would you like to cut it?" The stone-cutting master, a man in his forties, looked at Ye Feng's raw stone and asked with a smile.

"You have plenty of experience, so however you say to cut it is fine by me." Ye Feng had no clue how to cut stone; such things should be left to the experienced.

"All right!" The stone-cutting uncle didn't drawl. After responding, he secured the raw stone and started the machine.

After the first cut, the stone-cutting uncle quickly turned off the machine and poured some water onto the incision. The water washed over the cut, revealing a rather intense green.

"It's up!" This situation caught everyone's attention. After a man shouted out, a crowd quickly gathered around and began loudly discussing the green color at the incision.

"Indeed, such intense green. There's a high chance of finding jade!"

"It's hard to say, really. Who can predict jade?"

"Uncle, keep cutting." Ye Feng ignored the crowd's discussion and asked the uncle to continue cutting the stone. He knew very well that although the price had increased, selling it now wouldn't make much profit. Only by fully uncovering it, if there was truly something inside, could he strike it rich.

The stone-cutting uncle restarted the machine and made another cut on a different side. As he did, the onlookers erupted in excitement.

"Wow, both sides are so green. There must be jade inside."

Indeed, the green at both cut surfaces was equally intense, fitting the pattern for jade emergence, no wonder everyone was agitated.

"Young man, I'll take this stone for 100,000 yuan, how about that?" A middle-aged man in a black suit, seeing how auspicious the raw stone seemed, quickly offered 100,000 yuan, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a bald man. "Mister Suit, you're being too stingy, I'll offer 150,000."

"Sorry, but I'm not selling this stone. Continue cutting." Despite the bald man's high offer of 150,000 yuan, Ye Feng remained unmoved. Although 150,000 was not a small amount, it was still too little for him.

The raw stone was successively cut into 4 slices and 6 windows were opened, each revealing a deep green color, looking like jade was about to emerge at any moment.

"Wow, if jade comes out of this block, it's going to be incredible, right?"

"Isn't it? Look at the size, the color."

Amidst the crowd's discussion, the bald man quickly stood up and said loudly, "Kid, 600,000, will you sell it to me for 600,000?"

"Sorry!" Ye Feng still shook his head and then said to the stone-cutting uncle, "Switch to the grinding wheel, please!"

All six sides revealed green, and Ye Feng did not dare to take any chances. He asked the stone cutter to change to a grinding wheel to continue the polish.

The stone-cutting uncle deftly switched to the grinding wheel and started to polish carefully. As he polished deeper, a solemn expression covered his face. Realizing something was off, he quickly stopped and splashed some water on the surface.

As the polished area was washed clean, everyone was stunned. The raw stone that was previously deeply green, after being polished, turned white once again.

"What a pity! Such promising signs, but inside was just filler material."

"If the young man had sold the stone, he could have made a fortune. But now..., it's such a shame."

Seeing the white color revealed in the raw stone again, Ye Feng felt as if he had plummeted into an ice cellar. The joy he had felt moments ago turned instantly into regret. 'If only I had sold it for 600,000, how great would that have been?'

But there was no medicine for regret in this world, and once things had happened, there was no way to turn back. Since it had come to this, there was no point in continuing to polish. Ye Feng directly asked the stone-cutting uncle to cut the raw stone in two.

As expected, inside the green lay a mass of worthless white filler. Strangely, in the very center of the raw stone, there was a small object of a very unusual color.

This strange object caught Ye Feng's attention, and he asked the stone-cutter to extract it. After obtaining it, Ye Feng carefully examined it and discovered it was a type of metal unknown to him, and incredibly hard.

Having spent nearly 30,000 yuan to extract such a bizarre, worthless object, Ye Feng felt a desire to die. Moreover, the most important thing was he had spent all his savings. Now, he had only 200 yuan left, which made him feel desperate. He felt as if he could see Chen Ling already sitting in someone else's bridal palanquin.

"No... I can't accept this." With this thought, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly and roared with a deep voice.

His fist was pricked by the unidentified metal he was clutching, and blood flowed onto the metal's surface.

It took a few seconds before Ye Feng realized the pain when he saw what was happening on his palm, his expression turned to surprise.

The metal in his palm gradually transformed into a red glow and began to seep into his body through his wound.

At the same time, his vision went dark for a few seconds, and when it returned, a large disk appeared before him, a disk filled with different patterns. Most were dim, but the pattern in the very center was extremely bright.

The pattern in the middle was a pair of white eyes with a line of small characters written below them....
