Chapter 306: The Battle Begins (1)
Everyone looked at the rough stones from both sides, ceaselessly making comparisons in their hearts. Judging by appearance, the one that Guh Siqing had was obviously of a superior quality, with its stone skin moss and yellow-brown color, all signs indicating that there was definitely top-grade jade within. In contrast, An Yiqing’s piece, while decent-looking, could only be considered average; apart from being larger than Guh Siqing’s, it had no particularly striking features.
However, before the truth was revealed, all guesses were but mere conjectures. Everyone stared, tense and unceasing, at the rough stones of both parties.
"Shua——"
With a harsh grating sound, the stone in Ah Chen’s hand was the first to have a cut opened.
Under the tense gazes of the crowd, a green light spilled out from the newly revealed cross-section of the rough stone, illuminating everyone’s eyes!
The green was lush and vibrant, bursting with vitality. The texture was fine and smooth, simply magnificent.
Everyone widened their eyes and held their breath as they watched the stone on the Stone-Cutting Table.
"Is this... High Ice Imperial Green?" After a moment, a voice rang out from the crowd.
"Yeah, looking at the color, it’s definitely Emperor Green! Just don’t know what it will be like once it’s fully uncovered?"
"Hey! Have you forgotten the rumors about the Guh family’s second young lady? She is capable of sensing jade..."
It was only the first round, yet Guh Siqing had already uncovered High Ice Imperial Green. Although not of the glass type, the value of High Ice was naturally high, and coupled with it being Emperor Green, it would surely fetch a good price. With this in hand, if An Yiqing wanted to beat her, she would need to uncover a glass type, which was highly unlikely... odds were slim on the first stone.
