Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

"That's not necessarily true."

Ye Ling shook his head and then said to the master, "Master, cut it again, from here."

The master felt helpless, thinking to himself, could this young guy really not afford to lose?

With his attire, he definitely wasn't some rich man, and if he tried to play dirty with Gao Ning, that'd be like seeking death!

With a sigh, the master made the cut carelessly.

In his opinion, even ten more cuts wouldn't produce any green.

But just at that moment, a burst of green light suddenly erupted from the raw stone.

The master's eyes bulged in disbelief.

Did it really produce green?

"It's up! It's up!"

"Holy shit, how could that come out?"

"That's just damn ridiculous! How could that have worked?"

"Looking at the green light, although there isn't much, it's incredibly dense. There must be something good inside."

Many people showed an incredulous expression; they all thought Ye Ling was going to lose out.

Gao Ning's face darkened, as with his knowledge of jade gambling, he naturally knew that the content inside the stone absolutely surpassed Mountain Sea Green.

"Young man, 1 million, to buy your stone, how about it?"

"1 million? That's interesting. This is obviously something even more impressive than Mountain Sea Green. You think I don't know what it's worth? 2 million."

"3 million!"

Bids called out one after another, clearly indicating they all knew the value inside the stone wasn't low.

"I'll make an offer too, 4 million." Wang Ning Mei also walked over, smiling.

Ye Ling was unmoved and said to the master, "From here, another cut please."

"Another cut?"

The master's eyes widened as he said, "Young man, I think it's better not to cut anymore. The raw stone is only so big, and what's inside is Top Grade. If you cut again, and it gets damaged, it won't be worth much!"

"If he wants to cut, let him cut. What's with all the unnecessary comments?" Gao Ning huffed coldly.

Hearing that, the master dared not say anything more and made another cut along the line Ye Ling had marked.

"Whoosh!"

With this cut, another rich burst of green light exploded from it.

The crowd could vaguely see a perfectly round bead, as if embedded inside, appearing from within the stone.

The cut that the master just made was impeccably close to the bead, barely grazing it.

Immediately, some observant people were shocked in their hearts. Could this shabbily dressed young man really understand jade gambling?

Otherwise, how could he dare to cut like that?

"Young man, I offer 5 million!"

"8 million!"

"10 million, but you can't cut anymore!"

Wang Ning Mei looked deeply at Ye Ling and said, "I offer 20 million. How about selling the stone to me?"

"Not for sale yet."

Ye Ling smiled and shook his head before saying, "Master, it can be wiped now, please be careful."

"Okay!"

The master, seeing that such an excellent item had been revealed, was immediately happy.

And since Ye Ling was so polite, the master naturally had to be extra careful now.

About ten minutes passed, and a completely green spherical bead appeared in the master's hand.

"Heart of the Sphere, a once-in-a-millennium Heart of the Sphere!"

The master, holding onto the bead, had his face trembling with excitement.

The others were also shocked; they liked jade gambling and antiques and naturally knew the preciousness of the Heart of the Sphere.

"Legend has it that wearing a Heart of the Sphere can not only warm and nourish the soul but also attract wealth and change one's fortune!"

"Is this the Round Heart Pearl? I've been gambling on stones for over 30 years, and this is the first time I've seen one."

"A natural Round Heart Pearl, untouched by intentional crafting, its value gotta be upwards of 100 million at least."

All eyes were on Ye Ling, looking at him as if he were some kind of treasure. Their gazes nearly devoured him.

"I bid 100 million!"

"150 million!"

"200 million!"

The crowd was clearly wealthy, adorned with gold and silver. They were either high-ranking officials or rich tycoons.

Besides, who of any virtue would come to a place like this?

The price shot up to 200 million in no time.

Gao Ning's heart was about to leap out of his chest. He never imagined that he could misjudge so badly!

Compared to this Round Heart Pearl, his piece of junk jade was worth squat!

"Big brother is so awesome!" Han Lin said, thrilled.

"300 million, I'll take the Round Heart Pearl," Wang Ning Mei said.

Ye Ling smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's yours."

The crowd all looked regretful. A price of 300 million was indeed steep.

Wang Ning Mei made the transfer right away.

Clearly, she had some connections with the bank. After all, such a huge sum wasn't something one could just transfer on a whim.

Soon enough, the notification came through. The string of '0s' even got Ye Ling a bit excited.

"Boss Gao, mine's 300 million, yours was 700 thousand. Subtract the difference, and that comes to 299.3 million."

Ye Ling turned to look at Gao Ning with a smile, "By the way, I scratched your BMW a bit by accident, but I think 300 thousand will cover it. I'll just take 299 million from you, how about that?"

The crowd's attention turned to Gao Ning once again.

300 million was no small sum, after all!

Who would have thought that Gao Ning, a veteran eagle player, would have his eyes pecked out by an eagle today? And a peck that blindfolded him no less.

"Boss Gao should be a man of credibility, right? What's the matter? Can't come up with the cash?" Ye Ling taunted.

Gao Ning's face twitched violently. 300 million for that little amount of money?

"Fine, I'll pay it!" Gao Ning gritted his teeth and then added, "But I have one condition. We need to gamble again. No more bids from others, just directly comparing items. Whoever loses pays the other 500 million."

Obviously, Gao Ning wanted to earn all that money back.

"Whoa."

Ye Ling laughed, "Boss Gao, are you dissatisfied? But 300 million is really a hefty sum. I bet it would hurt the boss to part with it, eh?"

"Cut the crap, will you gamble or not?" Gao Ning said in a deep voice.

"Alright, whatever Boss Gao says, we'll do. But you've got to transfer the money over first," Ye Ling said.

Gao Ning was indeed not one to go back on his word; he immediately transferred the money to Ye Ling.

One stone had netted Ye Ling nearly six billion. Plus the earlier million, he was now sitting on a clean six billion.

With such a huge sum, Ye Ling was now a billionaire.

"Damned lucky, shit, one rock and I made six billion."

"This kid, I don't know if he's really clueless or just pretending, casually cutting out six billion? I don't buy it!"

"Looks like Gao Ning is fuming, steam practically coming out of his nostrils."

Everyone around murmured with envy, thinking this kid was way too lucky.

"Boss Gao, gambling is fine, but I need to know if you still have five billion in case you decide to welch. You already know what I have; what if you back out?" Ye Ling said with a smirk.

"How much money I have, the boss lady knows. You can ask her," Gao Ning said gravely.

Ye Ling turned to look at Wang Ning Mei.

Wang Ning Mei gave a slight nod and whispered, "Don't overdo it with the play. It's okay to give people an out with gambling stones."

Ye Ling just smiled and said no more.
