Chapter 79

Qin Chuchu's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Luo Wentao, what are you doing? Isn't that the bet Xiao Fan chose?"

Luo Wentao replied, "That's right, it is indeed the bet he chose, but it is also my piece of jadeite rough. There's nothing wrong with me using it for the bet; at most, the things cut out will belong to him."

"You..."

Before Qin Chuchu could say more, Ye Fan pulled her back, "Forget it, Chuchu. Since Young Master Luo is willing to use it, let him. As long as the things cut out belong to me."

After saying that, he pointed to a piece of jadeite rough not far away and said, "I'll use this one for this round."

This piece of jadeite rough was about half a meter tall, weighing four to five hundred pounds, and its price was much higher than the previous ones, weighing in at 50,000 yuan.

Although this piece of stone still looked unremarkable, with the experience from the previous two rounds, everyone immediately took it more seriously. Even the staff members were extremely careful when lifting the stone.

Soon, the two stones were brought over by the staff. Ye Fan said, "Young Master Luo, let's start."

Luo Wentao said, "This time, you go first."

The last two rounds were initiated by him, and he ended up losing badly, so this time he chose to let Ye Fan go first.

"Sure." Ye Fan was indifferent to the order and turned to the stone cutters, "Everyone, let's get started."

Several people moved the stone Ye Fan chose onto the cutting machine and began to cut it.

The cutting sound continued for a full ten minutes, but no green appeared. However, with the experience from the red jadeite, the onlookers still held out a glimmer of hope.

But even after the stone was cut in half, no jadeite was found.

A smile appeared on Luo Wentao's lips. After three consecutive rounds, he finally saw hope. It seemed this kid's luck had finally run out.

Ye Fan looked at the two halves of the stone and pointed to the left one, "This one, polish it well."

The stone cutters began to cut and polish this half of the stone again. Soon, a brilliant purple appeared.

Luo Wentao's smile froze. Purple jadeite, also known as lavender, is generally very rare. Could it be that this kid really has dogshit luck and hit a lavender?

Soon, the stone cutters proved his guess with their actions. A piece of purple jadeite the size of a ball appeared before everyone.

After rinsing it with clear water, this piece of purple jadeite revealed a very pure color. Under the sunlight, it exuded a sense of opulence and grandeur.

Purple was once called the imperial color in China, from the Purple Star Emperor to the Forbidden City, from the purple aura from the east to the purple sash, all of which highlighted the sacred and noble status of purple. This is why lavender jadeite is so expensive.

"Heavens, lavender, it's really lavender. I've attended so many jadeite rough exhibitions, but this is the first time I've seen lavender with my own eyes..."

"The last piece of jadeite rough I saw was only half the size of this one and sold for over 2 million yuan. How much would this one be worth..."

"This young man is truly amazing, it's as if a lucky star has possessed him. He chose three pieces of jadeite rough, and each one turned out to be worth a fortune..."

Qin Chuchu looked at the purple jadeite and was completely stunned.

Ye Fan said, "Chuchu, why aren't you saying anything? Do you want this piece of jadeite? If you do, take it with you."

"I..." Qin Chuchu took a deep breath to calm her excitement and then said, "I really want it, but I can't afford it."

Ye Fan was surprised, "What? Is this piece of jadeite very valuable? More valuable than the other two?"

From his perspective, the spiritual energy contained in this piece of jadeite was no more than that of the red and green jadeite, so the value should be about the same.

Qin Chuchu smiled bitterly, "In China, rarity makes things valuable. Because of the limited quantity, the price is higher. If it were just this piece of purple jadeite, 20 million yuan would be about right.

The most important thing is that there are the green and red jadeites as well. In the jadeite industry, there is a saying about the three colors representing fortune, longevity, and health, or Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

When three colors of jadeite can be matched together, it is a very rare occurrence, and the price will increase exponentially. Therefore, if these three pieces of jadeite are sold together, the price would at least double, and the minimum would be over 70 to 80 million yuan.

Our Qin Group prepared 100 million yuan to purchase jadeite rough. We've already spent over 30 million yuan, so we really can't afford it now."

Hearing this, the people around them were in an uproar.

"This young man's luck is really off the charts. He managed to get all three colors of fortune, longevity, and health, and they are all of such high quality."

"If I had such luck, 70 to 80 million yuan would be enough for several lifetimes."

"It's said that jadeite rough is a gamble between heaven and hell, but this young man is about to fly to the heavens..."

After hearing Qin Chuchu, Ye Fan smiled slightly, "What's this about Liu, Guan, Zhang, and fortune, longevity, and health? They're just three pieces of stone. I'll give them to you. I said I don't want money."

For him, the biggest success today was obtaining the great artifact, the Demon Subduing Flask, and winning over 300 million yuan from Luo Wentao. He also secured the transfer contract for the Peach Blossom Paradise neighborhood at the auction.

It can be said that he indeed made a huge profit this time. If it weren't for Qin Chuchu bringing him here, he wouldn't have encountered such a good opportunity, so he didn't hesitate to give away the three pieces of stone.

"This is a group purchase, I can't take your things for free. I'll make up the funds for you in a while."

Qin Chuchu also couldn't bear to part with these three rare pieces of high-quality jadeite, so she immediately had her staff members take them and put them in her car.

Ye Fan turned back to Luo Wentao and said, "Young Master Luo, it's your turn."

Seeing the other side complete the three colors of fortune, longevity, and health, and make a huge profit, Luo Wentao felt a mix of emotions—envy, jealousy, and resentment.

But at this point, he couldn't afford to think too much. It was already the third round of the bet, and if he lost again, he would have no way to turn the tide.

Thinking about this, he said to the stone cutters, "Cut this piece of stone."

No matter what, he still had a glimmer of hope. The three pieces of jadeite rough were so precious that Ye Fan didn't mention them before, and he specifically chose this one as the bet, indicating that this piece of jadeite rough was even more valuable.

The stone cutters seemed to realize this and cut it very carefully.

After half an hour, the stone was divided into four parts, but it was empty inside. There was no trace of green or red jadeite, just nothing.

"How... how is this possible?"

Luo Wentao was certain that Ye Fan wouldn't make a baseless claim. There must be something good inside this piece of jadeite rough. He called out again, "Cut it again, cut it finer. There must be jadeite inside."

The stone cutters were helpless. At this point, the chances of cutting out jadeite were very low, but since their master gave the order, they had to follow it.

One of the stone cutters picked up half of the jadeite rough and placed it on the cutting machine. As he cut, there was a loud "snap." The originally sharp saw blade hit something and broke into two pieces.
