Chapter 140: The Old Pit's Glass Emperor Green

  Jade's seed water is very important. What is seed water? Seed water refers to transparency. We often hear about bean green seed, oil green seed, ice seed, glass seed, and the "seed" here refers to seed water, also known as water seed in some places.

  Jade is a gift from nature to humanity, its colorful colors make people flock to it. It does not have the crystal clarity of glass, but it has a hardness that surpasses glass.

  In the formation of jadeite, it takes years and months to accumulate, so the quality of jadeite is different. The more transparent it is, the closer it is to glass transparency, the better the material is, and the more valuable it is.

  As for the imperial green, we all know that jade is honored with green, and the king of green is called imperial green. This green color is upright, rich in color, and has a blue tone in the green, but it's not biased. It's the best color in jade, the most valuable green, giving people a noble beauty. The imperial green refers to this unique color, very green, oily green, almost dripping out. In daylight, it shows a deep lake green, similar to lake blue at first glance. Under strong light, it shows emerald green, and under digital flashlights, it presents yellowish green, changing unpredictably.

  This adds up to the glass kind of emperor green, but this material is not just the glass kind of emperor green. In front of it, there is an old pit. What is called an old pit? What is called a new pit? The old pit and new pit referred to here are not about the years of jade mining or the years of jade formation.

  The magnificent nature does not have the time to erupt lava once this year to create a batch of jadeite, and then erupt lava again next year to create another batch of jadeite. Basically, most of the jadeite discovered so far is formed from one eruption.

  We all know that good quality jade is produced in the sedimentary places of rivers. The jade found there has a relatively better quality. Why is this?

  This is because the native ore deposits have various qualities of ore, which are transported by water flow and deposited into secondary ore deposits. Some poor quality ones, such as those with cracks, coarse grains, loose structures, or impurities, will be naturally eliminated. In the end, only the relatively dense, fine-grained jadeite is left in the riverbed. This type of jadeite is more transparent because nature has conducted a process of natural selection and elimination.

  Additionally, in areas where river sedimentation is more abundant, jadeite can obtain sufficient water content, and when extracted, its color and transparency are naturally very high. Therefore, the quality of jadeite is also closely related to the region where it was formed. Jadeite formed on riverbeds often has flowing water that carries away impurities such as sand and other unclean substances during its formation.

  After being washed and refreshed by the water flow, the remaining jade is relatively clear, with a very bright green color and high transparency. Due to years of soaking in the water flow, the jade is particularly transparent and luminous. Therefore, the quality of old jade is much better than that of new jade.

  The words "Lao Kong glass imperial green" converge together, just like a fighter jet in a mobile phone, shocking the eyeballs. This is the highest level of known jadeite, in other words, there is no higher-level jadeite than this in the Jade Kingdom.

  Xuan Qi looked at the dispirited Zhou Kai, he still suspected that everything in front of him was just a dream. Old Luo excitedly drew lines on the material, he wanted to unravel the entire piece.

  Sheng Dengfeng's expression was complex, while Lu Zhuoqun's eyes were filled with wild joy. It seemed that Xuan Qi was the person the Sheng family was looking for. Lu Zhuoqun had already begun to turn his mind, thinking about how he could establish a relationship with Xuan Qi.

  Shang Tao was still dazed and confused, opening his blurry drunken eyes to ask Xuan Qi in a low voice: "Is the Emperor Green glass really worth a lot of money?"

  Xuan Qi nodded naturally and said: "It's worth the money, it's worth a lot of money." Xuan Qi had already appraised the size of these two pieces through his Qigong technique, and their combined value was probably over 100 million.

  Just as Xuan Qi was in a great mood, Lao Ding spoke softly beside his ear: "Have you ever thought of this sentence? 'A weak and powerless man is not guilty, but he will be blamed for possessing treasure.' Now you are just a small Xuan repair with no power to bind a chicken. With such a heavy treasure, how do you plan to protect it? It's not that you're afraid of thieves stealing it, but rather that they'll remember it. Don't expect these few people in front of you to be able to help you keep the secret."

  "This is indeed a difficult problem" Xuan Qi's eyebrows also furrowed, thinking only about how to win the bet, winning 20 million, but didn't expect to accidentally uncover an old pitfall, and solved the mystery of the ancient glass "Di Wang Green", probably by tomorrow this news will spread throughout Huaxia, and this material will become a hot potato.

  Just as Xuan Qi was pondering, the package was opened, and the shock of the high-ice green jadeite had just passed, now there is an even more shocking one. The old pit glass type emperor green is larger than that piece, and of course, it's also heavier. Whether it's the color or the quality, it surpasses that piece by several streets.

  The two men were stunned and disheveled in the wind, staring blankly at this piece of material, using all their strength to pinch their own cheeks. Ah, it really hurts! This is not a dream!

  Put it on the electronic scale, watching the continuously soaring numbers, both people felt their blood pressure also surging upwards. All of this was too discordant. This is a top-grade imperial green glass, of course not all of the material is top-grade imperial green glass, this is just a general term, just like you can't taste Su Dongpo in Dongpo pork.

  The old pit glass contains one-fifth of the total material of Emperor Green, and the rest are all glass varieties and high-ice varieties. The color ranges from positive green to sunny green, layered and progressive. And the quality is also constantly soaring, this piece of material weighing 170.35 kg actually has 340.7 catty, surprisingly heavier than a grown-up strong man.

  "Treasures beyond price, treasures beyond price!" The old man in the hall went crazy and stuttered: "This life of mine has not been lived in vain, to have seen such a top-grade piece, and it's so big! This emperor green glass kind is truly a treasure, even if I die now, I can close my eyes in peace."

  Another person in the hall also went crazy and said: "I'm afraid that even throughout Myanmar, it's impossible to find such good material. If calculated at market price, it's worth at least 500 million." He said, touching it again with his hand, muttering repeatedly: "500 million, 500 million"

  Another person directly raised an offer: "I'll give you 500 million, can you buy me another piece of material like this?"

  "This time, the host didn't lift his chopsticks, but instead sniffled and said: 'The 500 million is just an equivalent value based on the materials linked together, without adding the premium for the overall large material.'"

  Xuan Qi waved his hand and said: "No need to overprice it anymore. We're betting on the return on investment ratio, so let's calculate it based on 500 million." The total investment was 15 million, and just by cutting it in half, they made a profit of 500 million, with an ROI of 3334%. The rest didn't need to be said, Xuan Qi had undoubtedly won the entire bet.

  Zhou Kai was still in a daze, feeling that all of this wasn't real. It was clearly a piece of junk that couldn't possibly produce jade, let alone the top-quality glass Emperor Green. The twists and turns were more fantastical than anything you'd find in a book. At this moment, Zhou Kai's mood was like jumping from the summit of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench - the drop was just too great.

  The still not giving up Zhou Kai has already gone mad. Like a crazy dog that only wants to randomly bite and scratch, he fiercely barks at Xuan Qi: "Didn't you say that this piece of material is actually three pieces of seed material? Since one piece has already opened into jadeite, can you try to open another piece to see if it can produce another piece of the same material?" The mad Zhou Kai no longer knows what he's saying, without logic, only filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

  The people around looked at Zhou Kai with eyes that seemed to say he was an idiot. To be able to extract a piece of Emperor Green Top-quality Jade worth 500 million from what everyone recognized as worthless material, and then expect to extract the same kind of jade from another piece, was like being hit by two different shooting stars on consecutive days in the smallest mole between his eyebrows - it just wasn't going to happen.

  Xuan Qi suddenly looked straight at Zhou Kai, a hint of astonishing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you think there's jade in it, I'll make a bet with you. Not betting money, nor social status, but just one word 'yield'. I'm betting that you will yield."

  This gambling method is indeed novel, not betting on gold and wealth, nor on fame and fortune, but only on whether to obey or not. This seemingly bizarre approach is actually the best way to break through the current situation. Why did Zhou Ke always target Xuan Qi? It's because he didn't obey.

  As the seemingly joking bet was thrown out, Zhou Kai, who was originally still burning with anger, seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water and suddenly woke up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xuan Qi from top to bottom: "Is it just a bet on one word 'yield'?" Seeing Xuan Qi nodding, Zhou Kai immediately said in a low voice: "Then I'll bet with you that there's no jadeite in this quicksand. If there is, I'll say the word 'yield' to you."

  These words are spoken, making the people around him stunned. The contradictory and vastly different words, he can actually say them out loud, shameless! I've never seen such a shameless guy, just now he was swearing that there's jade in this material, but in the blink of an eye he's saying it doesn't exist, like spitting out saliva and then licking it back up with his tongue. Shameless! He has no face, how can he do something like this?

  Xuan Qi didn't seem to care, as if everything was already under his control. He smiled calmly at Zhou Kai and said, "I knew you'd say that." Then he continued to ask, "Have you made a deal?" Seeing Zhou Kai nod, Xuan Qi went on to say, "I'm betting on the character 'fu' (meaning 'to submit'). If there's jadeite inside, no matter how small it is, even if it's just the size of a thumb, you'll have to admit defeat. And if not, I'll be the one admitting defeat."

  "Of course," Zhou Kai said calmly. He really didn't believe that someone could be hit by different shooting stars on two consecutive days, right in the smallest mole between their eyebrows. Besides, with such a large piece of material, unless it was jade, if it appeared, it should also be a large piece of material, and two large pieces would have been cut out consecutively. Zhou Kai smiled secretly, but the ancestral tomb of the Xuanqi family had not yet produced such a big smoke signal.

  Xuan Qi's eyes lit up: "Since that's the case, I'll make you surrender with your heart, mouth and feet." Then he said to Luo Zhuanggui: "Cut off his head. Since he still doesn't give up, I'll make him give up."
