Ye Fei looked at the hundred pieces of original stones.

So all of Zhang Jingzhong’s good stuff was here.

No wonder he hadn’t found a single decent stone among the many he’d just searched through.

"Let’s get started then," Wang Haoyu said, unable to wait any longer.

He was eager to teach this ignorant kid a lesson.

"Master Lin, it’s all on you!" Wang Haoyu said to the old man beside him.

Master Lin’s real name was Lin Zhiyuan, a high-level expert of the Houtian first rank.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled lightly, "Young Master, rest assured."

He obviously intended to win at all costs.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyuan began to select, carefully examining each stone.

With his Houtian strength, he was already capable of using True Qi for detection.

This method was far more reliable than Master Huang’s experiential judgment.

At the same time, Ye Fei also approached the original stones to begin his selection.

Starry Eyes, activate!

In just a moment, Ye Fei had clearly detected the essence of all hundred original stones.

Using True Qi for detection was after all an external assessment, only able to pick up on some traces within the stones.

But Ye Fei’s Starry Eyes were much more powerful.

He could directly see inside the original stones!

Ye Fei casually reached out and picked up a rather large original stone.

This stone was not only large and obviously so, but it also emitted a faint red glow throughout.

At this, the crowd began to discuss.

"Why is Ye Fei interested in that stone? Isn’t that the notoriously dubious stone of this venue?"

The so-called dubious stone was one that no one dared to be certain of what it might contain.

In fact, in the general perception, jadeite was often hidden in original stones that were both ugly and inconspicuous.

Like the He Shi Bi from the Spring and Autumn period, when Bian He first presented it to King Li, it was dismissed as a common rock, costing him his left foot.

Afterward, when Bian He presented it to King Wu, his right foot was chopped off as well.

Only after Bian He wept for three days and nights did someone crack open the stone to reveal the He Shi Bi jade.

The stone in Ye Fei’s hands was probably much like the He Shi Bi.

Previously, people thought there was no jade inside because the original stone looked too ordinary.

Now, because the stone was too conspicuous, people suspected that the market was using it to dupe and swindle money.

So this stone had been left untested for several years.

"It seems Ye Fei really is a layman, mistaking a worthless stone for a treasure," someone said.

"Looks like Young Master Wang is going to win this time. It’s a pity, I was quite looking forward to someone slapping Young Master Wang in the face," another sighed.

There was a tinge of disappointment in everyone’s hearts.

At this moment, no one was happier than Master Huang.

Seeing Ye Fei pay so much attention to that original stone, he wished Ye Fei would choose it right away.

That would prove that Ye Fei’s previous success had just been a fluke.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyuan had also chosen his original stone.

With his observation through True Qi, he was very confident.

Wang Haoyu asked softly, "How is it, are you confident?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "I have carefully observed all hundred original stones, and the jade inside this one is of the highest quality!"

Wang Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about the stone in Ye Fei’s hands? What about that?"

"That’s a piece of waste stone!" Lin Zhiyuan said directly, "I observed with True Qi, and there’s nothing inside!"

"Great!"

Wang Haoyu was immediately overjoyed.

He quickly started mocking Ye Fei.

"Master Ye, how come you haven’t made your choice yet? Everyone is waiting," he taunted.

"Why don’t you just take that one? It looks pretty good," he continued with irony.

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow and then chuckled.

He suddenly turned and said, "I’ll take this one then."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was stirred.

"He’s lost, he’s definitely lost."

"Ah, Ye Fei is just messing around, he didn’t even take a closer look."

Master Huang was also overjoyed, and quickly took the raw stone from the hands of the two men.

"Since that’s the case, let’s carve the stone now!" Actually, he was even more anxious than Wang Haoyu.

The carving master’s hand brought down the knife.

Wang Haoyu’s raw stone gradually revealed a corner.

Suddenly, a gasp of amazement spread through the crowd.

The exposed corner was crystal clear and obviously extraordinary.

However, Master Huang stared wide-eyed, "Ice type! It’s actually ice type!"

As soon as he said this, even Wang Haoyu himself couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

"It’s really ice type!"

"I actually carved out an ice type!"

Ice type jade is incredibly precious, perhaps one in a million raw stones might yield one.

The odds were like winning a lottery jackpot, incredibly slim.

Wang Haoyu was greatly surprised, patting Lin Zhiyuan on the shoulder as a sign of approval.

Lin Zhiyuan also gently smiled.

To him, such a feat was effortless.

The onlookers had originally wanted to see Wang Haoyu frustrated and defeated.

But unexpectedly, they still saw this fellow arrogant and proud.

Wang Haoyu became even more delighted, and said coldly to Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, hurry up and swear, you’ve lost!"

Ye Fei replied, "My raw stone hasn’t been carved yet, how can you say I’ve lost?"

Wang Haoyu laughed loudly, "Isn’t it obvious?"

"Master Lin here has carved out ice type! Do you think you can carve out something better than this?"

Ye Fei chuckled and shook his head.

"The world thinks ice type is the best jade, but they are greatly mistaken."

"Better than ice type is Spirit Jade, and this piece of mine will yield a piece of Spirit Jade!"

Spirit Jade?

The entire place was shocked.

Of course, Wang Haoyu knew about Spirit Jade; as a member of an ancient martial arts family, his grandfather wore a piece of Spirit Jade.

It was a treasure that could enhance one’s cultivation!

But after so many years of mining, Spirit Jade had become extremely rare.

Ye Fei claimed he could carve out a piece of Spirit Jade?

Ridiculous!

Master Huang also knew about Spirit Jade and chuckled softly, "Mr. Ye, you must be boasting."

"Perhaps there are still remnants of Spirit Jade in the world."

"But in our small venue, how could there be a raw stone hiding Spirit Jade?"

The audience members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they didn’t know what Spirit Jade was.

It sounded like it was even more formidable than that ice type?

Ye Fei simply gestured to start the carving.

"After we carve the stone, won’t everything become clear?"

Wang Haoyu suddenly laughed heartily.

It seemed that Ye Fei truly was relentless until he was facing utter failure.

Very well, if his confidence was to be shattered, it should be done thoroughly!

"Carve the stone!"

Upon hearing this, the carving master started his work.

A single stroke went down.

Nothing was there.

Master Huang stared intently, and then the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up in a laugh.

As expected, this raw stone was indeed a worthless stone.

Wang Haoyu was incomparably excited, his face unavoidably flushing with enthusiasm.

Oppose young master Wang?

Let’s see you lose face!

"Now that it has come to this, do you have anything left to say?"

Wang Haoyu laughed, "Hurry up and swear, then disappear from before this young master!"
