Zhan Lingfeng did not want to attract anyone's attention. After entering, he found that it was indeed very lively inside.
In his previous life, Zhan Lingfeng had come here with a boss and had witnessed the boss's extravagant gambling on stones, so he was somewhat familiar with everything here.
"I want to enter the Rough Stone Area valued over one hundred thousand," Zhan Lingfeng said to a person who seemed to be in charge.
The young man looked at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "Pay a deposit of ten thousand."
This was indeed the rule. Zhan Lingfeng did not say anything and directly took out ten thousand from the cash he had just received from selling something.
During this visit, Zhan Lingfeng had taken all cash, heading straight here.
Upon entering another large area, Zhan Lingfeng noticed that there were relatively fewer people here.
The people present seemed to be wealthier, all focused on examining the stones.
Although Zhan Lingfeng was just a third-year student, after his cultivation, he had grown tall and strong, making it hard to tell he was still a youth. Everyone merely glanced at him before looking away.
Zhan Lingfeng looked around for a while and then approached a large stone that had been made into a stone bench.
As he examined the stone closely, a smile appeared on his lips. Although Zhan Lingfeng possessed the Spiritual Eye Technique to observe, he currently lacked True Essence and could not use it. Instead, he recalled an incident that had caused quite a stir; it was said that someone had struck it rich by purchasing a stone bench in this area for five thousand. That stone bench turned out to contain an exquisite piece of Imperial Green, and its weight was substantial. At that time, someone offered ten million for it, and the final price reached fifty million.
When Zhan Lingfeng accompanied his boss here, there were people pointing to the spot where the stone bench had been placed, telling everyone about it. Even the gambling house showcased photos of that stone bench for publicity.
Now Zhan Lingfeng clearly saw that one of the stone benches bore markings identical to those in the photo.
Feigning interest in examining it further, Zhan Lingfeng returned to stand in front of that stone bench and asked a staff member, "How much is this?"
"What did you say?"
The stone bench is just a piece of stone meant for sitting, yet it turns out there are people willing to buy it.
"Sir, this was brought by the boss's vehicle; it can be considered a type of Rough Stone. It's five thousand for one stone bench. If you want it, take it."
Clearly, everything here has a set price, and five thousand is about the market rate for Rough Stone in that area.
"Do you think there's jade inside this stone?"
As soon as Zhan Lingfeng asked this, a girl nearby laughed and said, "I didn't expect someone would actually buy a stone bench. What kind of people are there nowadays?"
She was accompanying a businessman who looked quite plump. The boss smiled at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "Brother, while those stones are indeed from the Rough Stone area, they have all been appraised by experts. There’s definitely nothing inside them. Of course, if you like, you can take it and cut it open for fun."
"Alright, I'll give it a try. I don't believe that stones from the Rough Stone area really have nothing inside!"
With that, Zhan Lingfeng said, "Here’s five thousand; I’ll buy it. Please send it over to be cut open."
When the people around heard that Zhan Lingfeng was really going to buy it, they all turned to look at him with smiles on their faces, thinking they've seen people spend money before, but never someone who treats money so casually.
Everyone was curious and followed him over.
After paying, the stone bench officially belonged to Zhan Lingfeng, who pretended to act out of spite as he walked over.
"Boss, how do we cut it?" the worker looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
"I don’t know either; just make a horizontal cut first and see what happens."
"Make a horizontal cut!"
The onlookers were stunned, not expecting that there would actually be someone who understood nothing at all.
However, this stone belonged to Zhan Lingfeng, and everyone was just there to watch the show.
After confirming several times, he made a decisive cut.
"Wow!"
Everyone watching was taken aback; what they didn't expect was that a horizontal cut would actually reveal green.
Zhan Lingfeng also didn't anticipate such a situation. He had heard the cutting process in detail; it was after making a horizontal cut that he had rubbed the stone from below for a while before it revealed green.
Unexpectedly, this time he had cut down a bit further, and as a result, it just happened to come out.
"One hundred thousand, brother, I want it," one boss said upon seeing the situation.
"One hundred ten thousand, I want it."
Several people continuously raised the price, and it quickly reached one hundred fifty thousand, but it stopped there without any further increases.
"Shih, with your experience, help me rub the side a bit more."
Shih specialized in this line of work. Upon hearing Zhan Lingfeng's request, he naturally knew what to do. After rubbing for a while, everyone's eyes lit up; they really didn't expect such a situation. After splashing some water to wash it off, what appeared before everyone's eyes was actually a piece of Emerald.
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred fifty thousand!"
Soon, it had reached eight hundred thousand.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng felt relieved; he was genuinely worried that he had made a mistake, but it seemed that this stone bench was indeed the right one.
"Let's make a cut from here and see."
What Zhan Lingfeng meant was to make a cut from the lower part.
As the cut was made, there was a scraping sound, and then everyone saw that there was also an Emerald appearing there.
"This!"
Many people were astonished, not expecting it to be so large.
If what they saw earlier was just one side, now it was two sides. Estimating for a moment, everyone's breathing became rapid.
"Two million!"
"Five million!"
"Eight million!"
The price suddenly skyrocketed.
"Bro, it's about time; if you're going to act, now's the time." An old man, although his eyes showed signs of excitement, still advised caution.
"Let's make another cut from the left side."
Zhan Lingfeng remained unaffected and began to cut again.
In the same situation, after cutting, he managed to slice a little deeper.
"Green has appeared!"
When someone shouted, a patch of Emerald appeared there.
"Ten million!"
"Twenty million!"
Indeed, with this cut, the value had already reached over twenty million.
"Really, make a cut on the right side as well."
Upon hearing Zhan Lingfeng's words, everyone was stunned; this person was too bold, not even valuing twenty million.
"It really is green!"
This time it was convenient; with one cut, a patch of Emerald emerged, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd that shook the area.
