Red jadeite, also known as blood jadeite, is a type of jadeite different from green jadeite. It is extremely rare and gets its name because its texture is like blood.
Li Yun had only heard of blood jade from his grandfather and had never actually seen it. Compared with ordinary green jade, the probability of blood jade appearing is lower, and it is even comparable to glass jade. Naturally, the price is high.
"Could it really be Blood Jade?" Li Yun felt a little uneasy. He wanted Yang Qi to solve the Blood Jade, but he also wanted Yang Qi to be unable to solve it. He was extremely conflicted.
Blood Jade is a top-grade jadeite. Anyone who deals with jadeite would want to have such jadeite in their own hands, especially Li Yun, a master of gambling on jadeite, who wants to unlock Blood Jadeite by himself. However, the possibility of unlocking Blood Jadeite by himself is too small, and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to see Blood Jadeite, so he is naturally very conflicted.
As the sandpaper continued to rub, the red color revealed in the stone became brighter and brighter, like a ball of blood lying quietly in the stone.
"It's actually red jadeite?" Everyone was stunned when they saw the red jadeite appearing in the stone.
Most of the people present had been involved in gambling on jadeite for many years, but this was the first time they had seen red jadeite. Even Shen Yuxuan, the chairman of Shen’s Jewelry, was no exception.
"Is this... Blood Jade?" Shen Yuxuan said in disbelief.
Blood Jade
After these words were spoken, many of the onlookers came to their senses.
As jewelers, they had naturally heard of the name of blood jade, but they did not expect that they would have the opportunity to see the real blood jade with their own eyes.
"Is this the Blood Jade? It's just as the legend says, bright as blood!"
"It lives up to its reputation, just like blood."
"It's worth the trip to see such jade!"
When they thought that this was the legendary blood jade, everyone started talking excitedly. This was blood jade. Many people who came into contact with jade would never see it once in their lifetime.
The man in charge of cutting the stone felt a slight tremor in his hands, but he quickly recovered. Although he had never cut out blood jadeite, as the person in charge of the Li family's VIP stone-cutting machine, he had cut out glass jadeite.
As the man wiped it, a finger-sized bead slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Little brother, I'll give you one million!"
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
They didn't ask for the jadeite before because the other party was the gambling stone consultant of Shen's Jewelry, and Shen's Jewelry had the priority to buy it. But this blood jadeite was different. They might not sell this rare jadeite after buying it, and they could keep it for themselves. If Shen's Jewelry sold it, it might not be as high as their offer!
"One million, you want to take it too, two million!"
"Four million!"
"Five million!"
In just a moment, the price of the finger-sized bead rose to a sky-high price of five million.
You have to know that this bead is about the same size as a pearl. Even if it is glass-type, it would probably be worth around two to three million. But now, the price has risen to a huge amount of five million.
Although the price was as high as 5 million, the enthusiasm of the crowd did not decrease at all. This was blood jade, which could not be bought even if one had money. Glass jade was rare, but even in large jewelry stores like Shen's Jewelry, there were glass jades. If one had money, one could buy it at any time, but blood jade, which one had never seen before, where could one buy it
Shen Yuxuan looked at the people bidding, but she had no intention of stopping them. Shen's Jewelry was facing internal and external troubles, which could not be solved by a piece of blood jade. The price of this blood jade had exceeded her expectations, so she naturally had no intention of competing. This blood jade was like an antique. If someone liked it, the price would naturally be high. Shen Yuxuan was not sure how long it would take to sell it. It was a question whether Shen's could survive the crisis.
Yang Qi picked up the blood jade on the table, and suddenly a powerful vitality surged into his body. He could even feel that this vitality was constantly nourishing his body. Although it did not have much effect on him, the blood jade was definitely a rare treasure.
As the old saying goes, jade nourishes people, and the effect of this blood jade is the same. For those patients whose vitality is damaged, wearing this blood jade can definitely help them alleviate the deterioration of their physical condition.
"This blood jade is really suitable for Elder Qin." Yang Qi understood the use of the blood jade and immediately knew that the blood jade was of great help to Elder Qin's health. He was originally thinking about what gift to give to Elder Qin on his birthday. Now that he has obtained the blood jade, he already knows that this blood jade is really suitable for Elder Qin.
"Six million. I'll pay six million."
At this time, the crowd of bidders had already raised the price to six million. This price was enough to buy two or three glass rings.
"I'm sorry, I don't plan to sell this blood jade." Yang Qi suddenly said.
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Since Brother Yang doesn't plan to sell it, we naturally can't force him. But if Brother Yang wants to sell it in the future, please find me, Old Xiao." At this moment, a slightly bloated middle-aged man in the crowd spoke.
Yang Qi glanced at the man who was talking, and seeing that many people had the same plan as the middle-aged man, he couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid Brother Xiao will be disappointed. An elder is having a birthday, and I plan to give this blood jade as a birthday gift."
"This..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "It seems that this Blood Jade is not meant for me."
"Mr. Yang is worthy of being the gambling stone consultant of Shen's Jewelry. He can actually extract this blood jade bead from such a large gambling stone. I can't compare to his gambling stone level." At this moment, Li Yun suddenly spoke.
After these words were spoken, everyone who was originally a little disappointed was stunned.
During the process of cutting this gambling stone, it can be said that not a single cut was made to increase the value. The remaining part was the size of a milk carton, but Yang Qi could still insist on wiping it. What kind of confidence does this require? The blood jadeite that was finally cut astonished everyone present.
If Yang Qi hadn't suddenly decided not to sell the blood jadeite, the price of the blood jadeite would probably have risen. It would probably have to be around eight million to buy it. It can be said that the price is even higher than that of the same glass type!
After Li Yun's reminder, everyone remembered that Yang Qi was calm and composed during the gambling stone process. Such gambling stone skills were definitely at the level of a gambling stone master.
"It has increased three times in a row, and finally the top-grade jadeite, Blood Jade, appeared. The title of Master is indeed worthy!"
"I didn't expect that today, while witnessing the birth of the Blood Jade, I could also witness the appearance of a gambling stone master. This trip was really worthwhile."
Instead of refuting Li Yun's words, everyone agreed with him. Just as Li Yun said, Yang Qi's level of gambling on stones was already above his, enough to be called a master.
Many of the people present were jewelers. With their recognition, as long as Yang Qi maintained a master's level in the future, his title of master would spread in the gambling stone world.
"Master of gambling on stones!" Shen Yuxuan smiled. Although Yang Qi's recognition this time was only recognized by a small group of people, at least he was recognized by his peers, which was a good thing for Shen's Jewelry. (To be continued)
