?34: Chapter 34: Red Jade 34: Chapter 34: Red Jade “I can’t believe I treated you like a brother, and you went jade gambling without calling me.

    That’s just shameless,” Pan Long hurried over with a beautiful woman and started to complain incessantly upon seeing Ye Feng.

    “Come on, I saw you were flirting with a girl.

    I didn’t want to disturb you,” Ye Feng greeted the beautiful woman behind Pan Long and then began to tease with a laugh.

    Teased by Ye Feng like that, Pan Long’s thick-skinned face showed no change, but the woman behind him instantly blushed and shyly lowered her head.

    “Stop jabbering and let’s look at what kind of stones we should buy,” seeing that Ren Yunyun behind him was feeling embarrassed, Pan Long quickly hit Ye Feng with a punch and then got down to business, not forgetting the reason he had rushed over.

    “Let’s see and decide!” Ye Feng didn’t know which rough stone he should buy and could only decide after looking, and moreover!

    His spiritual power was not very plentiful at the moment, so he had to use it cautiously.

    After looking at three rough stones in a row, Ye Feng finally found a decent jade.

    Although the jade in this rough stone was not very big, it had a very good Water.

    “180,000!” Seeing the price was bearable, Ye Feng decided to buy this piece of jade.

    Of course, having picked one for himself, he naturally had to help Pan Long pick one too, otherwise, the guy would definitely keep nagging non-stop here.

    “You might consider this one,” after looking at three more, Ye Feng pointed to one he liked and suggested to Pan Long.

    “Am I buying?

    What about you?” Ye Feng had picked his own first, and Pan Long was obviously still a bit embarrassed, since he was just tagging along to catch a bargain, but Ye Feng had given him the good one first.

    “I had already spotted one earlier, and I’m going to buy it now.”

    Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Pan Long realized that the young man had been quite sneaky, having secretly eaten a piece of meat while he only got some leftovers.

    Better leftovers than nothing, since he was just here to make up the numbers anyway, so Pan Long really didn’t mind.

    Although Ye Feng was very short on money, he could still come up with 180,000.

    After paying, Ye Feng took the rough stone and headed out of the inner area toward the Jade Processing Zone.

    What Ye Feng didn’t expect was that Pan Long was even quicker, and by the time Ye Feng arrived at the Jade Processing Zone, they had already started to unravel Pan Long’s stone.

    “You’re quick!

    Aren’t you afraid I was trying to trick you?” Ye Feng came up behind Pan Long, patted him on the shoulder, and jokingly asked.

    “Why be afraid?

    It didn’t cost much, and if you tricked me, I’d still end up with such a big ‘son’—how cost-effective!” Seeing it was Ye Feng, Pan Long grinned and cheerfully replied.

    ‘Oh man, tricked by my own ‘son’?’ Pan Long’s words immediately brought to Ye Feng’s mind a classic phrase.

    He couldn’t help but admire Pan Long’s quick wit.

    “Hmph!

    Hope you lose everything,” Ye Feng muttered under his breath after unwittingly suffering a setback, then focused on watching the jade unraveling process.

    “It’s up, way up!”

    As the unraveling master exclaimed, the crowd quickly gathered around to see just how much it had increased.

    The skilled master sprayed a bucket of water onto the rough stone, and it was then clearly displayed in front of everyone.

    “Red!

    Are we seeing red jade emerge?”

    Upon seeing a faint hint of red exposed on the surface, everyone cried out loudly.

    Red indicates jade, and green jade, revealing the preciousness of red jade.

    No wonder they were so excited, for encountering red jade with the right color, sufficient luster, and high transparency could shock the entire gemstone gambling industry.

    “Keep cutting!

    Just as I instructed before, continue cutting for me.” Pan Long, equally thrilled, knew that if they indeed cut a fine piece of red jade, it would be hard not to prosper!

    “Brother!

    You really are divine; I’m totally convinced now.” After the jade cutter started cutting again, Pan Long turned to Ye Feng with a look of admiration.

    This time, he was thoroughly impressed by Ye Feng.

    Ye Feng could probably ask him to eat shit in the future, and he would hardly hesitate to dive in.

    Unconsciously, Ye Feng had become a god-like figure in his heart.

    “If you admire me so much, then feel free to trick me!” Ye Feng, having been taken advantage of, always remembered that issue and couldn’t rest until he had made it right.

    “Haha!

    I trick you, can’t I trick you?

    From now on, I’ll specifically trick you!” Upon hearing this, Pan Long burst into laughter.

    He hadn’t expected Ye Feng to hold onto the matter like a child.

    He happily agreed, going along with Ye Feng’s words.

    He wasn’t like Ye Feng, not caring about these minor details at all.

    How does the saying go?

    Those who achieve great things do not dwell on the small stuff.

    “Go to hell!” Ye Feng was immediately amused by Pan Long, having never seen anyone with such thick skin before.

    Not until the jade showed red on all sides did the cutter finally stop—this was also what Pan Long had instructed, only to stop when all sides were showing improvement.

    Silence!

    The scene was as quiet as death!

    Judging by this trend, the piece of jade would be very large; such a large piece of red jade was extremely rare.

    “Shall we continue cutting?” After splashing some water to get a clearer view, the jade cutter quietly asked for Pan Long’s decision.

    “1 million, will you sell this stone for 1 million?” It was only when the jade cutter spoke that the watching buyers snapped back to reality, loudly declaring their prices.

    Although they did not know the quality of the jade inside, those who gambled on stones all had a strong spirit of adventure, which naturally led to quite optimistic offers.

    “Keep polishing!” 1 million was quite a lot, but Pan Long was not impressed; he too had a heart eager for adventure.

    As the jade cutter skillfully switched tools, the second step, polishing, finally began...

    There isn’t much skill to speak of in polishing; it involves gradually turning non-red areas along the red edges into red, to determine the specific area of the red color.

    After a busy period, the whole raw stone gradually turned a faint red.

    Although the red was still quite light, fortunately, the raw stone was quite large.

    Seeing such promising progress, Pan Long naturally would not stop, instructing the jade cutter to continue polishing until the true luster was visible.

    The polishing process was very lengthy, and about half an hour later, the cutter joyfully turned off the machine.

    “Bring water!”

    Seemingly having discovered something, the jade cutter once again had someone bring a basin of water, splashed it over the area he had polished, then took out a powerful flashlight and carefully inspected the stone, looking as excited as if he had found a top-grade piece of jade.
