Heaven Defying X-ray Eyes

"Yo! Young man, you're back again?" Unfortunately, the stone-cutter was the same one who had helped Ye Feng in the morning. Seeing that it was Ye Feng, he greeted him.

"Yeah! Thanks, uncle, please follow the lines I've marked for cutting." Ye Feng nodded, handed over the marked rough jade stone, and softly reminded him.

"Got it!" The stone-cutter replied and took the stone to fix it onto the machine before starting the cutting process.

The crowd that had gathered, expecting no more excitement, stopped in their tracks to watch another stone being cut.

"Young brother, thank you." While the stone-cutter was busy, Pan Long came up to Ye Feng, lowered his voice, and expressed his gratitude.

"Well! It was your own decision, you don't need to thank me." Ye Feng smiled when he saw Pan Long and replied.

"Do you have time later? How about we grab a meal together?" Looking around, Pan Long understood that this wasn't the place for conversation and tentatively asked.

"Sure! Just remember, it's your treat." Ye Feng thought for a moment, realizing he hadn't eaten all day, and agreed.

"Of course..." Pan Long was somewhat speechless, since it was his own invitation, naturally he would be the one treating.

"It's gone up, it's increased again."

As they talked, Ye Feng's rough stone had been cut once, and the crowd exclaimed again upon seeing its value increase with the cut.

"Kid, you really are a master, aren't you? This rough stone looked so ordinary, I didn't expect it to increase in value. You must be an expert in this field, right?" Seeing that Ye Feng's stone had increased in value, Pan Long was even more convinced of his own thoughts that Ye Feng was a master, a true gambling-on-stone expert.

"A little... a little understanding..." Ye Feng certainly wouldn't admit to such a thing and after giving a vague response, he walked over to his rough stone.

"Master, please continue cutting." Ye Feng checked the rough stone and asked the cutter to keep cutting. By the looks of the 'water' at the cut, the jade inside shouldn't be too far off in quality.

"Alright." When experiencing an increase in value, stone-cutters generally feel pretty good. After all, cutting a piece of jade not only brings fame, but also a happy customer might reward them with some cash...

Ye Feng didn't give anyone a chance to make an offer or consider the options. Under his guidance, the stone-cutter quickly made several cuts until the stone-cutter turned off the machine, and only then could everyone clearly see the exposed face of the rough stone.

The rough stone had been windowed on four sides, and the situation inside was mostly revealed. Even with some discrepancies, there wouldn't be much error.

"Please go ahead, uncle! I'll leave the rest to you." It seemed like it was time to switch to the jade polishing machine, something Ye Feng didn't understand, so he left everything to the stone-cutter.

"I guarantee to complete the task." The stone-cutter smiled honestly and switched to the polishing machine. With his long experience in cutting, he knew exactly what to do.

"Wow, there really is jade this time, and it's not small either. It's just a matter of what quality it is." As the polishing work neared its end, some sharp-eyed individuals started to discuss loudly.

"No matter what the quality, this rough stone has made a huge profit. It was bought for only 3,000 yuan."

"Congratulations, young man! That jade is definitely yours now." Seeing that the jade appeared to be surfacing, Pan Long congratulated with a smile.

"Thanks, I'm going to take a look." Ye Feng thanked him with a smile and then went to pick up the washed raw stone.

It had to be said, the water quality of this jade was really not bad. Although it hadn't been polished yet, its color was indeed nice.

"Uncle, could you please polish this for me?" Seeing the jade was bigger than he had anticipated, Ye Feng nodded and handed the stone over to the jade-cutting uncle...

After the polishing, the jade finally revealed its true colors. This piece belonged to the better-quality glutinous type, which was considered high-end. Judging by its appearance, it looked like it would fetch several hundred thousand.

"Young man, are you selling this jade? If you are, I can offer 300,000." As soon as Ye Feng had the jade in hand, Xiong Feng hurried over with a smile and asked.

"Xiong Blindman, you want this piece of jade, but I, Lu Yun, haven't agreed yet. You think you're the only one with money? I'll offer 350,000." Before Xiong Feng could finish speaking, the middle-aged man who had mocked him earlier walked out with a cold snort.

"Mr. Lu, are you for real, huh? Well, very well, I'll fight you to the end. I'll offer 400,000." Irritated by Lu Yun's interference, Xiong Feng gritted his teeth and said in a heavy tone.

"Boss, this stone isn't worth that much. Be careful of falling for Xiong Feng's trick." Just as Lu Yun was preparing to bid again, a man in a suit beside him quickly stopped him, advising in a low voice.

"Alright, alright, you're loaded, spending 400,000 on such a worthless stone. You must've been kicked in the head by a donkey." After pondering for a moment, Lu Yun mocked once more and turned to leave the jade shop.

"Damn it!" Cursing under his breath as Lu Yun didn't forget to insult him before leaving, Xiong Feng then approached Ye Feng.

"Brother, what do you say, are you selling this stone?"

"No problem, I'm always up for making money."

While Lu Yun was causing a commotion, Pan Long had already clarified the value of the stone to Ye Feng. After weighing his options, Ye Feng decided to sell the raw stone.

"Great! Then let's go and make the deal!" Although 400,000 for this jade wasn't very profitable, Xiong Feng was still thrilled. His previously crushed spirits were instantly forgotten...

"Young man, here's my business card. If you get any good stones in the future, come straight to me, I won't let you down," Xiong Feng said with a smile after the transaction was complete, handing Ye Feng his card.

"Thank you Mr. Xiong, I'm off." Taking a glance at the business card, Ye Feng slipped it into his pocket. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left the jade shop with Pan Long...

The Longzhou Clubhouse belonged to the upscale entertainment venues in Longning City. Today, Pan Long had made a good profit and was in a great mood. Naturally, he took Ye Feng to the Longzhou Clubhouse. Although the consumption here wasn't cheap, he was ready to splurge to treat Ye Feng well. In his eyes, Ye Feng was like a godlike figure.

"Brother, not bad here, huh?" After bringing Ye Feng into an extravagant private room, Pan Long asked with some pride, simply wanting to show off since he hadn't been to such a place many times himself.

"Not bad at all!" But Ye Feng didn't react as expected, simply giving a calm response before sitting down on the leather sofa inside.

Pan Long was taken aback, his eagerness to show off quenched by Ye Feng's nonchalance. While he was still guessing whether Ye Feng might be some wealthy young master, he caught Ye Feng's sly smile and realized he had been played.
