Chapter 13

"Detection Technique."

Quality: 6

Value: Five hundred gold

This one won't do.

"Detection Technique."

Quality: 4

Value: Eight hundred gold

This one won't do either. Huang Yu's requirements were very high. First, the quality of the jade had to be at least 6, and as for value, it had to be at least a thousand gold.

"Hmm." Suddenly, Huang Yu's eyes lit up as he spotted a piece of raw stone. "Quality 8, value five thousand gold. This one is good. Although it's a bit small, the quality is extremely high, reaching 8, almost 9. Not bad, not bad at all."

By this time, a quarter of an hour had passed, and Huang Yu had only selected two pieces of jade. On the other hand, Su Guang and Sima Yan had already chosen quite a few. Su Guang had five pieces, while Sima Yan had the most, with six pieces.

"Huang Yu, Young Master Huang, why have you only chosen two? Ha ha, one of them is even like this, it's hilarious. I wouldn't want that piece of raw stone even if you gave it to me for free," Su Guang laughed wildly, pointing at the smallest, pitted, and worm-eaten raw stone in Huang Yu's hand.

"I think it has value, and it's not low. Does Young Master Su have any objections?" Huang Yu said calmly.

"Hmph, we'll see how you embarrass yourself later." Su Guang, feeling embarrassed, coldly snorted and continued selecting stones.

Soon, an hour had passed. Su Guang and Sima Yan had already chosen their raw stones, while Huang Yu barely managed to complete his selection at the last moment.

"Time's up." With Pan Shan's announcement, the three of them brought the raw stones they had chosen to a spacious area in the center.

"Who wants to go first?" Pan Shan asked, looking at the three of them.

"I'll go first." Sima Yan stepped forward first.

"Alright, let me open the stone." Pan Shan came forward, picked up a piece of raw stone, and began working with great skill. The stone chips flew off, and the speed was astonishing.

"Such skilled movements."

"Such proficient technique, truly worthy of being the Stone King."

"Fog is appearing, fog is appearing."

"Wow, green is appearing, green is appearing."

"Superior quality."

"Amazing, this purple-clothed youth is really amazing."

Huang Yu was also surprised. The quality of this piece of jade reached 7, and its value was at least three thousand gold.

Pan Shan placed the opened jade aside and said, looking at everyone, "Superior quality, value three thousand five hundred gold."

He then proceeded to open another piece.

"Superior quality, value five thousand gold."

"Medium quality, value two thousand gold."

By the time he reached the last piece of jade, Pan Shan was visibly moved.

"Top-grade quality, value fifty thousand gold."

"Heavens, it's top-grade, amazing. This purple-clothed youth is really something, I wonder what his background is."

"Ten pieces of jade, cost thirty thousand gold, total value one hundred and ten thousand gold."

After opening the stones, Sima Yan's face showed satisfaction.

At this moment, Su Guang's expression was not very good, looking somewhat nervous. It seemed that Sima Yan's performance had put considerable pressure on him.

Huang Yu saw this and smiled, saying, "Su Guang, you go first."

"I'll go first, then." Su Guang coldly snorted.

First piece.

"Superior quality, value four thousand gold."

"Not bad." After the first piece of raw stone was opened, Su Guang gave Huang Yu a smug look.

Huang Yu smiled but said nothing.

Second piece.

"Medium quality, value one thousand eight hundred gold."

Medium quality, with a value of only one thousand eight hundred gold, Su Guang's expression was not good.

Third piece, superior quality, value six thousand gold.

Soon, it was the eighth piece.

"Eighth piece, inferior quality, value three hundred gold."

"How is this possible, how is this possible?" A piece of inferior quality made Su Guang unable to contain his frustration.

"Ninth piece, top-grade quality, value eighty thousand gold." This time, even Pan Shan was surprised, not expecting this guy to have such good luck.

"Ha ha, ha ha, I said it, how could I, Su Guang, possibly lose?" Su Guang was extremely smug.

Sima Yan, however, sighed slightly. His luck was a bit poor, but losing was losing.

"Tenth piece. Superior quality, value ten thousand gold." Pan Shan said, "Ten pieces of jade, cost thirty-seven thousand gold, total value one hundred and twenty-five thousand gold."

"Ha ha, ha ha, Huang Yu, it's your turn. I want to see how many pieces of jade you have. Don't choose a bunch of waste stones and embarrass yourself. I suggest you don't even open them." Su Guang was extremely smug, feeling that he had already won against the purple-clothed youth.

"It's too early to say who wins or loses. Isn't it premature to say that now?" Huang Yu, seeing Su Guang's smug expression, spoke with a calm and composed tone, looking relaxed and content.

"Still not giving up? I want to see what you've chosen. Do you think you're the Stone King or something?" Su Guang coldly snorted.

Pan Shan, however, was somewhat surprised, looking at the jade stones next to Huang Yu with increasing astonishment.

"First piece, superior quality, value ten thousand gold."

Huang Yu remained unperturbed, while Su Guang's expression was not good. He frowned and said, "What's so great about that? It's just luck. The next ones will be bad."

"Second piece, superior quality, value fifteen thousand gold."

"Third piece, superior quality, value twenty-seven thousand gold."

"Fourth piece, superior quality, value twelve thousand gold."

"Fifth piece, top-grade quality, value fifty thousand gold."

As the raw stones were opened one by one, Su Guang's expression became increasingly worse, like a chameleon, which made Huang Yu very pleased.

"Impossible, this is impossible, absolutely impossible." Su Guang muttered.

"Seventh piece, superior quality, value six thousand gold."

"Eighth piece, top-grade quality, value thirty thousand gold."

"Ninth piece, superior quality, value four thousand gold."

"Is there any need to open the next one?" Huang Yu looked at Su Guang and smiled.

"Impossible, this is impossible. How could you win? You, Huang Yu, are just a waste. How could you win? You must be cheating, yes, you must be cheating." At this point, Su Guang was almost hysterical, unable to believe that he would lose to Huang Yu.

"Hmph." Hearing Su Guang's words, Pan Shan coldly snorted, "Are you saying I'm not fair, that I'm cheating too?"

Su Guang, startled, quickly said, "No, Senior Pan Shan, that's not what I meant. I just said Huang Yu is cheating."

Pan Shan, slightly angry, said, "Are you saying I would make a mistake?"

At this moment, Huang Yu smiled and said, "This is your Su family's territory, your Su family's jade shop, and the raw stones were just moved from your Su family's warehouse. If you can't handle losing, don't play. Don't act like a stray dog and cheat, losing face for your Su family."

"Hmph, I admit I lost. Don't get too smug, Huang Yu." Su Guang, almost spitting blood with anger, coldly looked at Huang Yu.

"Ha ha, you can talk about paying the bet later. Senior Pan Shan, please open the last piece of raw stone." Huang Yu coldly glanced at Su Guang and handed the last piece of raw stone to Pan Shan.
