Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 565: Chapter 241: The Once-in-a-Millennium Ultimate Temptation of Immortal Blood

Hearing Yang Chen say that this stone could produce ’Sun Wukong’, Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi were excitedly on their tiptoes.

They spent half a million to buy this stone; if it truly yields a priceless treasure, they would finally strike it rich.

The stone-cutting master Alexander, where a millimeter’s deviation could potentially cause a loss of over ten million, was so scared his hands were trembling.

Yang Chen: "Master, ready?"

The stone-cutting master swallowed, nodded, and said, "Ready, let’s go!"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Master, don’t be nervous. Do as I say, and there won’t be any problem. Slice horizontally at the 10 cm mark!"

The stone-cutting master did as told, and a slash of red appeared on the stone’s cut surface.

"Sigh..." Everyone let out a collective sigh.

Then, laughter filled the room.

In jade, green is the most prized; a streak of red means whatever comes out of this stone won’t match the value of the Imperial Green from before.

Since Yang Chen claimed that this stone would yield ’Sun Wukong’, everyone was full of expectation. Seeing the red, they all felt it was a pity.

Now it was evident the stone was merely a low-quality red jade, and everyone thought Yang Chen’s act was foolishly pretentious.

Hong Junle, who hadn’t spoken, laughed and said, "Brother, did you misjudge? It’s just a red jade, even if it’s several hundred pounds, it can’t compare to that piece of Imperial Green earlier. You deliberately let the couple buy this piece and not the other ones, you’re intentionally keeping them from earning more. She lost millions and even owes Mingcui Square 1.5 million, she’s already miserable enough, and you’re scheming against them. Sigh... Not very kind."

Wang Zheng quickly said, "Brother Le, don’t speak about our benefactor like that. He definitely wouldn’t do what you said."

Hong Junle laughed heartily, saying, "Fools! Sold off and still counting money for others. You two truly deserve each other; your IQs are at the same level."

"Haha..." The crowd laughed.

Yang Chen gave Hong Junle a chuckle, continued to lean back with his legs crossed, and directed the stone-cutting master.

"Vertical cut all the way on the left side at 15 cm!"

"Vertical cut all the way on the right side at 18 cm!"

...

Under Yang Chen’s direction, the stone-cutting master carefully extracted the jade inside.

After polishing off the surface stone, an irregular rectangular block of red jade approximately 40*30*10 (cm) appeared before everyone.

"Old mine glass type red jade, weighing 5200 grams." The stone-cutting master announced loudly, then added with a smile, "Scared me to death, I thought something really valuable would come out. Boss Yang, you sure know how to scare people. However, this large piece of red jade isn’t cheap either, though it can’t compare to the Imperial Green before, it’s not too far off. Boss Yang, congratulations. In my nearly twenty years of stone-cutting, it’s my first time seeing a player pick so much jade at once. If there’s a chance, I hope Boss Yang can teach us how to play."

Yang Chen: "Haha... We’ll see about that."

At this moment, the appraisal expert from Mingcui Square arrived.

Yang Chen quickly stepped forward to stop him, "No need to appraise this piece, I don’t need to know the price."

With that, Yang Chen stepped forward, picked up the piece of red jade, and covered it with a cloth.

When the Imperial Green was found earlier, Yang Chen showed no excitement or unusual behavior.

Why was he so concerned about this piece of red jade?

Something abnormal was definitely up.

A group of seasoned pros gathered around.

"Boss Yang, you’re so concerned about this stone; does it have some significance?"

"Right! Even the superb Imperial Green didn’t stir you, so why take this red jade so seriously?"

"Tell us, we just want to learn more, please, Boss Yang, share a bit with us."

...

Yang Chen didn’t want others to know the true situation of this jade, so he smiled and said, "Just a very normal piece of red jade, don’t overthink it. I misjudged, sorry I let you see its value. Well, I need to go, don’t let me interrupt your fun."

At this moment, the oldest expert among Mingcui Square’s appraisers suddenly said, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be the legendary Immortal Blood?"

Everyone turned to look at the old man at the sound.

"Master Chen, do you know about this red jade?"

"What’s Immortal Blood? How come we’ve never heard of it?"

"Damn, sounds high-end, Immortal’s blood."

"To be honest, the red jade did seem vividly red, with a flowing color, almost like flowing blood. Master Chen, what exactly is this treasure?"

...

The old master stared at the red cloth-covered tray in Yang Chen’s hand and said with a smile, "Boss Yang was right earlier, Imperial Green is precious, but it can occasionally be found. However, some treasures form like Sun Wukong, with the right heavenly conditions and chance for them to form. People might not understand ’Immortal Blood’, but everyone has probably heard of Blood Jade?"

"Yes, with red veins in white jade, it takes centuries to form, and they say it must be a burial item to have a chance of forming."

"That’s right, I’ve heard the legend too. A piece of white jade is put in the mouth of a corpse as a burial item, is unearthed after a hundred years by tomb raiders, the new owner wears it until death, and then is buried again, and another hundred years later unearthed by tomb raiders, the new owner wears it until death, then rebury it, after repeating for hundreds of years, the white jade absorbs red like human blood, forming Blood Jade."
