Bai s.h.i.+ning buying such a big piece of material really stunned Zeng Sanshui.

He squeezed into the crowd and asked the jade merchant who was watching from the side, “How much did this guy spend on the stones he bought?”

The jade merchant lowered his voice and said, “100,000 taels!” He chuckled as if he was looking at a fool. “The most expensive stone we sold here was only 50,000 taels, and it was 1,500 kilograms of raw stone.”

In other words, Bai s.h.i.+ning must have made a loss.

Zeng Sanshui held his breath, wondering how Bai s.h.i.+ning could take out so much money.

The locals of Carefree Kingdom only accepted their own banknotes and gold.

But soon, Zeng Sanshui’s attention was attracted by the raw stone in front of him.

At the front of the raw stone, there was a one-meter-long cut that revealed a large patch of green.

This was also the reason why Bai s.h.i.+ning was willing to spend 100,000 taels to buy this raw stone.

Zeng Sanshui had just thought that Bai s.h.i.+ning was foolish and rich. When he saw the imperial jade revealed from the stone, he was immediately envious.

With such a bright color and such a big material, Bai s.h.i.+ning would definitely be rich if he transported it back to the Ling Kingdom. Even if he did not process it, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels.

Zeng Sanshui was envious and wanted to buy a big piece of material himself to try his luck. He heard the jade merchant say with a smile, “If you can’t get anything good, you will suffer a huge loss.”

Zeng Sanshui asked in confusion, “It’s already dewy green and the color is very good. Why would we lose money?”

Hearing his question, the jade merchant knew that he was an amateur. Since he had nothing to do and was waiting to open the stone, he said, “Look, the cut surface is very big, but compared to the entire stone, the cut surface is actually very small.”

“The green material takes up a third of the cut surface, and the white jade takes up two-thirds. The white jade contains a high amount of cotton and is low-quality material. There’s a high chance that the composition of the imperial green in the raw material is very small.”

Zeng Sanshui took a closer look. The jade merchant’s a.n.a.lysis was really good.

The jade merchant suddenly smiled and said, “This person is about to open the stone. Let’s see if he will make a loss.”

Zeng Sanshui felt that even if he could not get all imperial jade, Bai s.h.i.+ning would not lose out as long as he could get 100 catties of finished materials for 100,000 taels of silver.

However, he was puzzled. “How are you going to open such a big piece of material?”

He remembered that it took a lot of time to open the jade material.

The jade merchant said happily, “1 don’t know who invented the water knife in our country, but it’s especially fast and neat when cutting stone. Even such a big material can be cut out in a short amount of time.”

This was the first time Zeng Sanshui had heard of a water knife. Just as he was feeling puzzled, he saw the stone mover lift the stone and slowly walk towards the stone processing workshop at the side.

After Zeng Sanshui became familiar with the jade merchant, under his guidance, he bought a raw stone from a roadside stall. It could be opened in the stone processing workshop.

The stone-cutting masters surrounded Bai s.h.i.+ning’s material. No one opened the material for Zeng Sanshui, so he waited at the side.

The water knife was really magical. It looked like a water column that moved fast, but when it touched the edge of the stone, it easily cut off a layer of the stone surface, shocking Zeng Sanshui.

He asked, dumbfounded, “How did the water knife move?”

“With such shocking power, killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.”

The jade merchant smiled. “It needs electricity, otherwise it won’t move.”

On the way, Zeng Sanshui had heard the people of Carefree Kingdom mention countless times that they used electricity. Many products had to be charged with electricity. Even if he liked the products, it was useless to buy them back.

That was because their Ling Kingdom did not generate electricity.

Thinking of the table lamp that Lu Ye had given him, Zeng Sanshui felt a little regretful. When he returned, he would ask Emperor Ling Hui to build a power plant and install an electric lamp.

Bai s.h.i.+ning was very excited when the water knife cut through the stone.

He had borrowed 100,000 taels from the local bank as an envoy. As he had a different nationality, the interest was quite high.

As long as this material could produce material that was of decent quality, even if it was not imperial jade, he would have made a killing.

The water knife completely entered the stone, revealing a deep cut that attracted everyone’s attention.

Zeng Sanshui felt like there was a cat scratching his heart and wished he could crawl in and take a look.

The water knife suddenly stopped. Bai s.h.i.+ning held his breath and the master in charge of cutting the stone said, “Everyone, step back. The material is going to be unvealed.”

A few meters of empty s.p.a.ce was formed around the stone. The huge stone that the stone mover had split into two slowly unfolded.

Bai s.h.i.+ning and his family could not wait to take a look and were immediately stunned.

The entire stone material only had a tuft of imperial jade at the incision. The rest were all white cotton.

It was not sufficient for further processing.

Even if Bai s.h.i.+ning was an amateur in the field, he could tell that this material was not very good.

Everyone said, “Hey, this material isn’t good at all.”

“Let’s go. There’s nothing to see.”

“How much did you buy it for? This is a huge loss.”

They had thought that if Bai s.h.i.+ning could get a good imperial jade, they would also buy some from the jade merchants at a high price. They started to laugh in front of Bai s.h.i.+ning, thinking that it was fortunate that they did not buy it at that time.

Only a fool like Bai s.h.i.+ning would dare to spend 100,000 taels to buy such a huge piece of trash.

He must have even lost his underpants.

Bai s.h.i.+ning would not lose his pants for 100,000 taels of silver. However, it was really uncomfortable to be treated as a fool.

Fortunately, this material was not worth much locally, but could still be transported back to the country to make a small profit.

Only then did Bai s.h.i.+ning’s expression improve.

Zeng Sanshui was overjoyed. 100,000 taels of silver only allowed him to open an ordinary jade stone that was regarded as trash in Dark Dragon Mountain.

Zeng Sanshui almost vomited out of anxiety for Bai s.h.i.+ning.

He looked at the materials he had spent 20 taels of silver on. With Bai s.h.i.+ning as a comparison, he felt much more relaxed.

He handed the stone to the stone-cutting master and waited patiently.

Before the saber could land completely, he heard the master shout, “There’s green material, there’s green material!”

Jade had many colors, and pure imperial jade was the most expensive.

The master was experienced and knowledgeable. When he shouted so excitedly, it immediately attracted many people.

The jade merchant who asked Zeng Sanshui to buy this material said in surprise, “Good material! Good material!”

Zeng Sanshui could tell too and exclaimed excitedly, “It’s so green, so green!”

With such green material, even if it was not imperial jade, it was not far from it.

Bai s.h.i.+ning leaned closer and happened to see Zeng Sanshui’s stone material completely exposed to everyone’s line of sight.

Other than the layer of stone skin on the outside, the inside was actually filled with an even color and an astonis.h.i.+ng imperial jade!

The color was l.u.s.trous and translucent. It was already top-notch before it was polished.

If he brought it back to the Ling Kingdom, such a good material would definitely be presented to the palace as a peerless treasure.

Comparatively, his 1,500 kilograms of stone was simply trash.

Zeng Sanshui was extremely excited. He wanted to get the imperial jade, but he did not expect it to really appear!

Most importantly, he had only spent 20 taels!

The surrounding people looked at him enviously. Zeng Sanshui couldn’t help but laugh wildly. “Ahahaha, what kind of peerless luck I have!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning thought that he was saying it for him to hear on purpose, and his face turned green with anger.

When he returned to the hotel and heard that he had to pay an export tax to transport 1,000 catties of jade back to the Ling Kingdom, his face turned even greener..
