Chapter 156: A True God!

"Splash!"

The stones on all six stone-cutting machines were opened almost simultaneously!

Simultaneously revealing their true colors!

"Hiss!"

Countless intakes of breath merged together, resembling a howling cold current piercing into everyone's ears!

The hall fell silent for two or three seconds, and then erupted into enthusiastic exclamations!

"Holy crap! All six are completely green! Damn it!"

"One of them is Imperial Green!"

"Wait, don't rush, this is just one side. What if the other side is worthless?"

At this moment, the other side of the six stones was also cut open, still entirely green!

"Oh my god! All six have struck gold!"

"Just that Imperial Green piece alone is worth over two million! The value of these six stones is no less than three million!"

Amidst the gasps and envious cheers of the crowd, the six stone-cutting masters collectively turned their gazes toward Guo Jianglong.

Although Feng Xiaoyan was the owner of Qingbao Jade Workshop, everyone knew that the man behind her was Guo Jianglong, and Qingbao Jade Workshop had long been dictated by Guo Jianglong.

"Just a fluke. Keep cutting for him!" Guo Jianglong sneered and waved his hand.

The six men switched to new raw materials and continued cutting.

When the machines stopped running, the hall became clamorous once again!

"Another six all struck gold? Holy crap!"

"A Chinese Hawthorne jade! No less impressive than the Imperial Green just now!"

"Another six-in-a-row? A consecutive streak of eighteen raw stones all hitting the jackpot? How miraculous is this?"

"That makes thirty in a row that have struck!"

"Another piece of Imperial Green! Three times the size of the first one, estimated to be worth six or seven million!"

"Imperial Green is nothing compared to this anymore. A rare Dragonstone jade was just unearthed as well, worth several million too!"

"Good heavens, is this man going to create a myth?!"

...

Amidst wave after wave of stone cutting, the surrounding onlookers were stunned again and again! Shocked to their cores!

Not a single piece of the cut raw material was waste! Every single one hit the jackpot!

Two pieces of Imperial Green! One Chinese Hawthorne!

And a piece of rare Dragonstone jade!

This was merely the harvest from thirty raw stones, amounting to a total of over twenty million!

There were still more than 1,100 raw stones left!

The expressions on the faces of Feng Xiaoyan and Guo Jianglong nearby had turned to stone.

Gone was their previous ease and banter; both stared at Ye Tianci in utter horror.

By this moment, Guo Jianglong and Feng Xiaoyan finally realized something was amiss, though they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"Don't stop, keep cutting!"

"I am a customer of your jade workshop. The customer is god—just listen to god."

Ye Tianci commanded domineeringly.

The six stone-cutting masters glanced at Guo Jianglong and silently resumed their work, moving much faster than before.

"A top-grade Violet jade! Oh my god!"

"An old-pit Ice-type jade! The color is so rich! This piece is easily worth tens of millions!"

"Eh? This piece is black mixed with green, looking like ink wash jade—it seems to be the elusive Black Ice jade sought after in recent years! Another tens-of-millions treasure!"

" Wow! This piece of jade is so red! It looks like a cockscomb red jade! An even rarer item! He picked this out too?"

"My eyes are going blind! What on earth is this guy's background, picking out so many top-grade jades as casually as buying cabbages?! He's only cut six hundred stones, and he's already produced this many supreme treasures?"

"What's even more terrifying is that out of over six hundred stones, not a single piece of waste! Every single one struck!"

"Has anyone estimated the price? How much are his six hundred plus pieces of jade worth now?"

"Two hundred million should be no problem at all!"

"A miracle! An absolute miracle!"

...

When more than half of the twelve hundred plus raw stones had been cut, the onlookers could no longer remain calm!

They shouted and cheered excitedly without stopping.

Over six hundred raw stones, and every single one yielded jade! Even if the immortals descended to the mortal realm, their jaws would drop in astonishment!

Simply unbelievable!

"Stop cutting!"

Feng Xiaoyan stepped forward, her expression completely altered.

There was no longer any banter or contempt on her face; instead, she stared at Ye Tianci with utmost astonishment, unable to comprehend how he had pulled this off.

"Brother Long, we cannot let him continue cutting. We won't sell him the remaining raw stones; we're buying them all back!" Feng Xiaoyan said to Guo Jianglong.

Guo Jianglong froze for a moment, then instantly grasped Feng Xiaoyan's intention. He also stepped forward and glared coldly at Ye Tianci: "Friend, you have quite the tricks! May I ask your surname?"

"Ye Tianci!"

"Ye Tianci?"

Guo Jianglong muttered with a frown, feeling as though he had heard this name somewhere before, yet unable to recall where.

"No need to cut the remaining raw stones, because I am not selling them to you anymore. Whatever price these stones are marked at, I will refund you."

As his words fell, a chorus of boos immediately erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Guo Jianglong glared fiercely, sweeping his cold gaze across the surroundings: "Let's see who dares to boo!"

Intimidated by his formidable aura, the surrounding onlookers dared not utter another sound, though they still curled their lips in disdain.

Ye Tianci's expression remained cold as he slowly spoke: "I have already paid the money, and these uncut raw stones belong to me. You don't have the final say."

"You few, continue cutting the stones."

Guo Jianglong sneered: "Hmph, without my command, let's see who dares?"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of subordinates rushed forward, surrounding Ye Tianci, Shen Zun, and the others in the center.

The few stone-cutting masters obediently stepped back, none daring to defy Guo Jianglong's order.

Ye Tianci looked at Shen Zun and said, "You've watched for so long, following the model to cut stones—you know how, right?"

"Shouldn't be a problem!"

"You five, come with me and cut the stones, cut all the remaining materials!"

Shen Zun was clever enough to understand Ye Tianci's intent.

He led five subordinates to operate the machines and cut the stones.

Guo Jianglong flew into a rage: "Toasting not to drink fine wine, you choose to drink a forfeit! Get them! Teach them a harsh lesson!"

His subordinates howled and swarmed forward.

Ye Tianci's figure moved like the wind, leaving a trail of afterimages. Wherever he passed, Guo Jianglong's subordinates all crashed to the ground!

"No wonder you dared to challenge me, Over-the-River Dragon—turns out you actually have some real skills!"

"Down you go!"

Guo Jianglong lunged forward himself.

"Bang!"

In a mere second, Guo Jianglong was flat on the ground!

Ye Tianci stepped on his face, pinning him to the floor so he couldn't move an inch.

"Shen Zun, continue cutting."

"Everyone from Qingbao Jade Workshop, listen up. Whoever dares to move again, or tries to stop my men from cutting stones, I'll turn your Brother Long into an eel!"

With his foot planted on Guo Jianglong's face, Ye Tianci's voice was cold and domineering.

The rest of the crowd didn't dare to move recklessly anymore.

The remaining raw stones were cut one after another.

Just like the previous six hundred plus pieces, every single one contained jade! Not a single piece of waste!

"Out of over twelve hundred casually chosen raw stones, every single one actually has jade! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death!"

"Oh my god! I wouldn't even dare to dream of this!"

"Too incredible!"

"I thought he was a complete fool, but it turns out the fool was me! This man is a true deity!"

...

The onlookers started shouting again.

This time, everyone's gaze toward Ye Tianci had completely changed!

No longer looking at him like a fool, they now worshipped him as if he were a divine being!
