After Jing Tian promised to help the fat man pick a few stones, under the guidance of the two store managers and surrounded by a group of eager onlookers ready to snatch the stones, they arrived at the large raw stone area.

Seeing the naked expressions on the faces of the surrounding crowd, which clearly said, "We'll grab whichever stone you look at," Jing Tian noticed that the large raw stones also had numbers. After a moment of thought, he abandoned the idea of tricking them...

Without going up to examine each stone in detail, he similarly used his spiritual sense to see through each raw stone, memorizing them carefully. He then asked the manager for paper and a pen, and after asking the fat man how much money he could put up, he started writing and drawing, leaving those with ulterior motives no choice but to watch helplessly.

After a few strokes, he tore off a piece of paper and handed it to the fat man, watching him excitedly hand over the paper with the stone numbers to Qi Longfei to go and pay.

Jing Tian then handed the manager a piece of paper with over ten numbers written on it and went to pay together.

He picked four stones for the fat man, totaling about 200,000 yuan, with two containing jadeite, one with a transparent texture and the other with a murky texture.

The twelve raw stones he picked for himself were worth about 6 million yuan, with the most expensive being a giant old pit raw stone, over a meter high and 1.5 meters long. This single stone alone was priced at 4.2 million yuan. After scanning with his spiritual sense, Jing Tian found that the jadeite inside felt the same as the peony variety.

The reason he chose this giant raw stone was that, after scanning with his spiritual sense, he discovered that although it was a full gamble stone, the layer of stone skin surrounding the jadeite was only about 8 centimeters thick, and the rest was a solid block of jadeite. According to Jing Tian's estimate, the value of this jadeite could easily exceed 60 million yuan.

Among the remaining ten or so raw stones, only one, about half a meter in diameter, contained a piece of jadeite that felt even more transparent than the ice variety. The jadeite inside was also not small, roughly the size of a basketball. As for the rest of the raw stones, they were all solid rocks...

After swiping the card and transferring the money, Jing Tian and the fat man were led to the large cutting workshop. Amid the deafening noise of the machines starting up, the raw stones were cut bit by bit from the edges towards the center.

The fat man's luck was quite good, and the first stone to be cut contained jadeite, and it was the more transparent one. Soon after the cutting began, the machine operator shouted, "Green is out!" causing the crowd to erupt in excitement...

Seeing the fat man impatiently rush forward before the machine had even stopped, Jing Tian quickly pulled him back to prevent him from getting hurt. Watching the fat man almost lying on the stone, his voice trembling as he muttered, "Holy crap, ice variety, and such a large piece, we're rich, we're rich..." Jing Tian shook his head with a smile, not wanting to disturb the fat man who was almost losing his mind...

Rejecting the suggestions from a few onlookers to sell the jadeite immediately, the fat man reluctantly left the machine, allowing the operator to continue the complete cutting.

Finally, a large piece of jadeite, about half a meter at the bottom and about ten centimeters at the top, in a trapezoidal shape, was revealed to everyone.

With a crescent moon smile, the fat man refused to discuss the price immediately and continued cutting the remaining stones. The fat man, being very sycophantic, brought a chair for Jing Tian and stood behind him, fanning him with a fan...

When the fourth stone of the fat man's also revealed a piece of jadeite, the fat man pounced on it like a rabid dog...

This time, it was only a piece of pea green jadeite, about the size of a volleyball. Although the fat man was a bit disappointed, he was still very excited and sold the two pieces of jadeite to the store for 24 million yuan.

Seeing that Jing Tian had already cut five stones with no jadeite, the fat man said that Jing Tian could take as much of the 24 million yuan as he wanted.

Jing Tian, seeing the fat man's tail almost reaching the sky, maliciously asked the operator to cut the next stone, the one he had picked as the most expensive.

With one cut, the cross-section of the raw stone was revealed to everyone. Seeing the large piece of peony variety jadeite surrounded by a thin layer of stone skin, the surrounding crowd burst into a chorus of exclamations.

Everyone who saw such a large piece of jadeite was stunned, even the experienced managers and the cutting operator could only stand there with their mouths agape, speechless...

The fat man tightly grabbed Jing Tian's arm, his eyes almost on fire, and whispered hoarsely to Jing Tian, "Brother, did you really get the powers from the novel? Otherwise, your luck can't be this good!"

Jing Tian, seeing the fat man's arms trembling and veins bulging from the force of his grip, said helplessly, "Don't get your hopes up, it's impossible. You saw me just pick randomly; I didn't go up to examine them closely or touch them. It's just pure luck..."

The fat man took a few deep breaths, reluctantly let go of his hand, and acknowledged Jing Tian's words.

After the jadeite was fully revealed, Manager Qi Pengfei, seeing such a large piece of jadeite, excitedly came up to Jing Tian to negotiate buying it from him. After Jing Tian agreed, he immediately grabbed his brother and had him call their father to gather funds. He then watched the crowd with a wary eye, ready to pounce on anyone who tried to compete with him...

In the wary gaze of Qi Pengfei, a 60-year-old man walked up to Jing Tian and said, "Young man, you're not simple. You look so calm, clearly you've seen this kind of scene before. Why don't you give us a lesson? Share your insights?"

Hearing the crowd's enthusiastic agreement, Jing Tian shrugged helplessly and said to the old man with a dazed look, "This... I'm not calm, I really don't know what's going on. I don't understand any of this, I have no idea why you're all so excited..."

"………………"

Seeing the crowd's disappointed expressions, Jing Tian secretly despised them. Only a fool would share with you. Even if I were a true expert, I wouldn't be so easily flattered and foolishly teach you, a bunch of idiots...

As Jing Tian's remaining raw stones failed to reveal any jadeite, the crowd's enthusiasm finally cooled down. Then, Qi Longfei, who had rushed back, quickly completed the transaction with Jing Tian, buying the giant jadeite for 58 million yuan.

After a brief lull, the cutting operator shouted, "Heaven! Ice variety!"

The fat man, who was trying to persuade Jing Tian to help him pick more stones, reflexively turned around and shouted, "Holy crap!" as he pounced over...

"Step back, everyone, step back! Don't get hurt, don't push, step back!!" The managers, who were already by the machine, quickly shouted at the crowd.

After a brief chaos, the crowd finally stabilized. After all, it was ice variety jadeite, and with high-quality jadeite becoming increasingly rare in recent years, it was rare to see such high-quality jadeite being revealed on the spot.
