Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

There is a small courtyard outside the back door of Yawanju.

Jia Lei placed the rough stone on the cutting table and looked at Jiang Ran with a playful look.

"Thirty-six million, are you sure you want to give it to me for free?"

He spoke with great confidence, as if he was sure he would not lose.

Not only that, Bai Feifei, who had just learned a little bit through the search software, did not think Jiang Ran could win.

Xie Tian got closer to the piece and saw the color, the light, and even his intuition.

They were all reminding him that there must be some good raw stones. They couldn't help but look at Jiang Ran who seemed nonchalant and wanted to dissuade him several times.

However, every time he saw Jiang Ran's indifferent expression, he swallowed back all the words of persuasion.

"If Boss Jia has the ability, it would be fine to give it to you."

Jiang Ran didn't pay too much attention to the rough stone from beginning to end, as if he was not the one who proposed the bet with Jia Lei.

Upon hearing this, Jia Lei held his breath, couldn't help but laugh at himself, and slowly started the machine.

The sound of the cutting blade turning is very obvious, and it is even more harsh when it touches the surface of the original stone.

Jia Lei didn't even bother to polish along the window, and cut straight to the position he had drafted in his mind for a long time.

Even though he had been in Zhuoyin County for many years, Jia Lei still felt nervous when it came to cutting a piece of high-quality raw stone.

After all, I have cut stones for others many times, but this is the first time I have cut stones for myself.

For people in their line of work, the most taboo thing is to get involved personally.

No matter how beautiful the window is, and no matter how 90% sure there is good stuff, you can't go and gamble in person.

Therefore, among his colleagues who lost everything, Jia Lei himself knows a lot.

If it weren't for the carving knives that Jiang Ran and the others brought today, which caused his heart to waver, coupled with Jiang Ran's words of assurance,

He would not bring the rough stone to the cutting table either.

Someone offered 7 million for the greenery you see when you open the window. It will probably be raised even higher if it goes on the market.

But it is possible that the area will shrink by half after this cut.

But no matter what, Jia Lei was sure that this piece of material could definitely be shipped and there was no possibility of losing the bet.

The cutting blades spun frantically, accompanied by a shrill buzzing sound.

None of this could stop Jia Lei's fanatical eyes.

As the water washed away the raw stone powder on the broken surface, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

That touch of pure green suddenly bloomed along the path cut by the blade, like a spring breeze blowing across the border, revealing a stretch of lush green along the south of the Yangtze River.

As the raw stone was completely cut, the noisy friction sound stopped abruptly.

Jia Lei's eyes were fixed on the cutting table, where the raw stone was split into two parts.

No, it should not be called a rough stone, but a piece of glass-type positive green jadeite with no flaws in the cross section and almost the same color throughout, green from one end to the other.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

Instead, he felt extremely regretful and self-blame. The angle at which this knife cut the raw stone was the one he had calculated countless times in his mind.

According to common sense and experience, the damage rate to the jade is extremely low, and there is a high probability that the waste stone can be cut off in one go.

As a result, with one cut, the original stone broke into two pieces, and both ends were full of green. The bright green seemed to be mocking him as a clown.

This cut certainly produced full green, but it also split a whole piece of material into two halves.

The value of glass-type positive green jade will not be discounted because of this, but the loss of value caused by the size is enough to make anyone beat his chest and stamp his feet.

Jia Lei just scratched his head in frustration, and his heart suddenly sank.

It was his luck that this rough stone was not opened in front of outsiders.

If it were seen by other people, he would definitely not be able to keep the jade with his ability, and he might even face a disaster.

The problem is that the people from Zhuoyin County didn’t see it, but there were three young men standing next to him.

If they spread the news, the situation he was worried about would most likely happen.

The reason why rumors are terrifying is that once they spread, there will always be some people who want to find out the truth.

Thinking of this, Jia Lei turned around abruptly.

Bai Feifei was staring at the two pieces of crystal clear jade, looking very excited.

Jia Lei didn't take it seriously. This was a very normal condition for a woman.

As for the dumbfounded expression of the round-faced young man, he did not care too much. As long as he had a little knowledge of jade,

Everyone knew the meaning and value of these two pieces of material. Even he was excited, let alone a young boy of such young age.

Jia Lei suppressed his excitement and slowly moved his gaze to Jiang Ran's face.

As soon as he met the other person's eyes, he was slightly stunned.

Jiang Ran didn't pay enough attention to the two pieces of jade, and still looked calm and composed.

Jia Lei found it hard to believe that he couldn't tell the quality of jade.

Even if you really don't understand, after watching so many short videos and fragmented information, you should at least know what the concept of growing green on glass is.

Jia Lei believed that the person who could casually use 36 million as a bet was definitely not an ignorant person.

So a few thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and soon his face became stiff.

A possibility occurred to him.

"If I find the jade, the stone will be mine, and I will give you 36 million. You said it."

Jia Lei's face was solemn and his tone was somewhat calm.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and nodded lightly as if he didn't care.

"I did say so."

When Jia Lei saw that he admitted it, he was slightly relieved, but his vigilance did not decrease. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to speak.

"It's a 36 million bet. It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. I just hope you don't talk nonsense when you get out."

At the moment, his mind was full of thoughts on how to quietly dilute the matter of Man Lu Fei Yu, so he had no time to care about the bet with Jiang Ran.

Besides, he didn't think that Jiang Ran would be truly indifferent after seeing these two pieces of top-quality materials.

If the other party insists that he bought the rough stone for 36 million, the matter will become even more confusing.

The main reason was that he didn't want to leak any information about the material.

Therefore, we cannot simply use some connections to solve this problem as we did before.

He knew that these people had taken out the 36 million. The problem was that money could move people's hearts.

Anyone would find it psychologically difficult to accept watching him open a full green field and spending so much money in vain.

Anyway, the gains from these two pieces of material were already big enough, and Jia Lei felt that he could accept using the imaginary money from the bet to exchange for the jadeite so that the news would not leak out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ran looked at him in surprise.

"Thirty-six million, of course I accept it."

"But the problem is, you are the one who lost the bet!"

Jiang Ran's confident tone made Jia Lei a little confused.

He even wondered if it was because he was too nervous that he saw the oily green and gray-green color incorrectly.

As soon as he turned his head a little, he caught a glimpse of bright green from the corner of his eye. Jia Lei breathed a sigh of relief and then found it a little funny.

"To be willing to gamble and not admit defeat is not what a gentleman does."

After saying this, he suddenly realized that there was no trace of anger or shame on Jiang Ran's face.

The other party just glanced at him with a half-smile, then slowly walked to the cutting table.

Jia Lei's nervousness only lasted for a moment, and then he deliberately relaxed.

He was confident that even if the other party ran away with the jadeite, he would not be able to escape.

Moreover, it is unlikely that someone who has a relationship with Zhu Xianze, whom his father highly admires, would do such a tasteless thing.

Jiang Ran looked at the two pieces of jade on the table, his eyes calm.

To ordinary people, treasures worth thousands of gold are no different from meaningless stones in his eyes.

At most, it is a stone with brighter color.

"Brother Ran." Seeing him come closer and examine the jadeite carefully, with a look of disbelief, Xie Tian couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

"The glass is full of green, a very rare material, and its value far exceeds his previous offer."

Jiang Ran glanced at him, causing Xie Tian to stop talking, and asked with a smile, "Glass is full of green, is there any?"

Jia Lei could not help but roll his eyes speechlessly, his fingers almost poking at the broken surface of the jadeite, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Emerald, green! Can't you see it?!"

Jiang Ran ignored him and stretched out his right hand, which had been behind his back, to hold the jade piece that occupied about 65% of the piece.

Seeing that he looked relaxed, Jia Lei thought about it and did not say anything to stop him. He just watched Jiang Ran's movements carefully, fearing that this piece of fine material would fall to the ground and get dented.

Jiang Ran's eyes fell on the green facet of the jadeite. Even without sunlight, one could tell how rare this jadeite was.

He only looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and the Nine Tribulations Energy in his palm began to surge invisibly, seeping into the jade like a thread.

He then looked at Jia Lei, who looked nervous, and shook his head gently, "I can't see it."

Seeing Jiang Ran still making excuses despite the facts right in front of him, Jia Lei couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart, and his opinion of him plummeted.

"Brother Ran, don't..." When Xie Tian saw Jiang Ran's eyes, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, before he could finish his words, the jadeite in Jiang Ran's hand was instantly crushed into powder by the Nine Tribulations Qi.

It slipped through my fingers, and soon not even a trace of powder was left.

The contentment on Jia Lei's face disappeared completely at this moment, and his expression was even stiffer than when the green just turned full.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Ran's flawless hand, and his lips were trembling with anger and regret.

"you you……"

Jia Lei looked at the murderer of his father as if he wanted to make him bleed to death on the spot.

But his mood soon changed, because Jiang Ran's hand hanging in the air gently reached out and grasped another smaller piece of jade in his hand.

Seeing this action that was somewhat similar to what he had just done, the anger in Jia Lei's eyes immediately disappeared.

He shuddered all over, raised his hands and said soothingly: "No, no, we can talk it over!"

"I don't want a penny of the 36 million you just promised me. I will still help you, but please don't act on impulse again!"

Although Jia Lei was indignant, he also knew very well that if he could no longer control Jiang Ran's emotions, he would probably lose the smaller piece of material.

He raised his hands in the air, looking panic-stricken, fearing that Jiang Ran would be dissatisfied with his attitude.

Unfortunately, from the moment he agreed to the gamble, he no longer had the say in everything.

The Nine Tribulations Energy in Jiang Ran's palm poured into the jade, recreating the scene just now.

As the last wisp of ash drifted away from his palm, he spoke in confusion.

"Where is the full green glass jade? I haven't seen it. I wonder if Boss Jia has seen it?"

Jia Lei was no longer in the mood to pay attention to his questions. He just sat on the ground, slumped over and screaming as if he had lost his parents.

"It's over! It's all over! My glass seed, my true Yang green!!"

Jiang Ran looked at him nonchalantly, his emotions didn't change much, and he just repeated a sentence softly.

"To be willing to gamble and not admit defeat is not what a gentleman does."

Jia Lei's howling was earth-shaking at this moment, and he had no intention of communicating with Jiang Ran at all.

His mind was filled with the surprise of cutting out a full green jade with one cut, and the grief of crushing two pieces of jade into powder with one hand.

If he had heard what Jiang Ran said, he would have probably shaken his head desperately, denying that he was not a gentleman.

As long as the two pieces of jade can be returned to him, he would rather be a complete villain.

Xie Tian swallowed his saliva, glanced at Jia Lei who was about to faint, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if you replace him with Jia Lei, his situation would probably not be much better than the other person's.

This was not a question of whether one was willing to accept defeat or not. Anyone who saw the two pieces of top-quality material vanished into thin air, not even a fingernail-sized piece of material was left.

It can be considered a regret, and it is so sad that every time I think of this scene of waste, I feel like crying but have no tears.

The main reason is that other things may be easily visible, but the full green glass just cut by Jia Lei,

It's the kind of thing that happens rarely in many years, and if you're lucky enough to come across it once, you can call it a blessing from heaven.

Jia Lei collapsed to the ground, howling and gasping for breath.

Bai Feifei was staring blankly at the table. Not long ago, there were two gorgeous gems on it that made people unable to take their eyes off.

It disappeared in Jiang Ran's hands in the blink of an eye, making her feel regretful and a little lost.

Even if she couldn't covet such a rare treasure, it would still be sad to see it destroyed for no reason.

However, Jiang Ran's light words woke her, Xie Tian, ​​and even Jia Lei who was in a state of grief and anger at the same time.

"Boss Jia, I have a habit."

"I always prefer to use courtesy before force."

Jiang Ran put his right hand behind his back and stood calmly again. He looked down at Jia Lei.

His eyes were as indifferent as before, but Jia Lei's mood was different now.

"Since nothing can be found in this raw stone, you lose."

"If you are willing to accept the loss, then don't act like a spoilsport here. The most important thing is to cash in your bet as soon as possible."

"If not, you can also consider which one is harder, your body or the rough stone."

Jiang Ran's words did not contain any threat, but to Jia Lei's ears, they sounded extremely frightening.

He couldn't help but think of an extremely horrible thing that he had ignored because he was so busy grieving.

Not to mention the hardness of the jade, Jiang Ran simply turned it into dust.

It is shocking enough to make people shudder when they think about it.
