"Who is this young man? He even dared to offend Pan Yi. Does he still want to stay in the stone gambling circle?”The surrounding people discussed animatedly, while Pan Yi's face was ashen.
He thought that if he took the initiative to attack, that kid would be grateful and beg him to teach him something. Who would have thought that he would be so arrogant? He restrained his disciple, who was about to vent his anger, and found a chair to sit beside Du Bin.
"I want to see what tricks you can come up with!”
Zhang Mo walked to the side of the stone, picked up the cutting machine, and put away the knife. Without any hesitation, he divided the stone into three irregular parts.
The surrounding spectators were in an uproar.
How could there be such a way to open a stone?
All the stone-cutting masters carefully cut the stone along the lines that were drawn at the beginning. No one knew if the jade meat would appear the next second. For example, even Pan Yi would need to spend one or two hours to cut Du Bin's stone.
Seeing how straightforward Zhang Mo was, Pan Yi sneered and said,""I only have a little brute force."
"Even if there is jade, it will be destroyed by this kid.”Pan Yi's disciple chimed in.
The jade had already been opened. The surrounding spectators were all looking at the three stones with eager eyes. Even Du Bin could not hide his excitement.
"I didn't see any jade meat. It seems like it's really a big rock.”The surrounding people had already started discussing.
The three pieces of stone were still cut out of stone. Some of the people who were gloating had already laughed out loud, and some of them left one after another when they realized that there was nothing to see. Xu Jin mocked,"Boss Du, you might as well sell it to me. You'll lose everything after three slashes.”
"It's increased…it's increased!" Just as everyone gave up, a trembling voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Zhang Mo. On a fist-sized stone in his hand, there was already a deep green color.
Xu Jin suddenly stood up and stared at the green dot." Impossible! This is impossible!"
Everyone's discussion continued, but Zhang Mo did not stop at all.
Soon, half of the fist-sized jade was exposed. There was not even a speck of it visible to the naked eye.
The water was very transparent. One look and one could tell that it was an extraordinary high-grade product.
Unknowingly, Zhang Mo was already surrounded by many people.
"Which family's disciple is this kid from? His hands are so steady.”
Similar exclamations kept coming from the surroundings. Some people realized that Zhang Mo's stone cutting speed was even faster than some old masters who had been working for more than ten years, but he did not damage the jade at all.
The precision of his technique amazed everyone. Some busybodies even started to mock Pan Yi. Master Pan, can you be so fast?”
Pan Yi looked at Zhang Mo with a livid expression. He couldn't say anything to refute him.
Not long after, a whole piece of jade was cut out. It was very obvious that it was a glass type, but there were some subtle flaws that could be seen with the naked eye. However, it did not affect much. This kind of stone had not been seen for a long time.
Zhang Mo struck while the iron was hot and took out the remaining two jade stones. The three stones were placed together, and the tray on which they were placed was dyed with a layer of green light.
Apart from the two slightly larger pieces of jade that were of poor quality, the smallest piece that was about half a palm's size was the well-deserved King's Jade.
This time, Du Bin Le couldn't even close his mouth. Who would have thought that ascending from hell to heaven was just a thought?
"Wait, this jade meat isn't damaged at all.”
When everyone was shocked by the high quality of the jade, Xu Jin took a closer look at the waste and came to this shocking conclusion.
Even the most famous Pan Yi here could only guarantee that he would not miss most of the time. It was understandable that he would accidentally scratch the jade meat. However, how long had Pan Yi been in the industry? How old was Zhang Mo?
This was his first time opening a stone.
What was even more maddening was that Zhang Mo did not draw any auxiliary lines at all. Instead, he opened the stone based on his feelings. Moreover, he did not damage the jade flesh. This was simply a stroke of genius.
Seeing this, Pan Yi couldn't hold it in anymore. He waved his hand and was about to leave.
Pan Yi, who was usually surrounded by people, was extremely deserted at this moment. Those who came to gamble on stones surrounded Zhang Mo and shouted for the master to help open the stone.
Even his disciple's gaze was a little strange.
"Little Zhang, you're really something." Du Bin happily walked to Zhang Mo's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Choose one of these three pieces of jade."
"It's not suitable."
"What's inappropriate about that? You were the one who opened the jade. Moreover, I said that I would give it all to you back then. It's already too much for me to shamelessly keep two pieces.”
It had to be said that Du Bin still had the demeanor of a great master. In the face of the temptation of three pieces of extremely high-quality jade, he still held on to his heart.
He had already made up his mind. If Zhang Mo really wanted to take the imperial jade, he would give it to him with both hands.
Being on good terms with a stone-cracking genius was far from what a piece of imperial jade could compare to.
"May I ask how many years this little brother has been opening stones, and who is his teacher?”Xu Jin came over and rubbed his hands together as he asked expectantly.
"I know all the masters around here. I've heard of a young disciple like you.”
"This is my first day. I haven't come into contact with it before, so I'm just playing around.”
Zhang Mo had a modest smile on his face. He did not realize how much impact his casual words had on Xu Jin's worldview.
"Uncle Du, I won't take this jade. When the finished product is out, just leave me two or three small jade pendants.”
Zhang Mo wasn't that greedy. The Emperor's Green was indeed valuable, but it wasn't as meaningful to Zhang Mo as Du Bin.
At most, he could rely on his cultivation and divine sense to open the stone, but he really had no idea how to carve it. It was better to let Du Bin do this troublesome thing and keep a few jade pendants for himself.
It was hard to say whether he would sell the jade pendants or not. Zhang Mo wanted to leave the jade pendants at home and let them be tainted with some spiritual energy. Then, he would carve an array formation and leave one for his mother first. He would wait and see.
"That's fine too. Xu Jin, I'll leave these three pieces of jade to you. Find me the best master sculptor in N City.”Du Bin was not a pedantic person, so he agreed.
"If you ask me, the best master in N City is standing next to you.”Xu Jin teased. He was already thinking about how to deal with these jade stones.
If he handled it properly, he could even get some leftovers. That would be a huge profit.
Xu Jin was still thinking happily when Zhang Mo said,"Leave those scraps for me. Sorry to trouble you.”
Xu Jin looked at that pair of amiable smiling faces. He had never hated someone as much as he did now.
Unfortunately, in the end, he could only pinch his nose and agree.
