Yao Deyun sighed, "Zi Xuan, aren't you afraid Jiu Yang will lose?"
Yao Zi Xuan finally revealed her true feelings, worried, "I don't know."
She also didn't know Chen Jiu Yang's stone gambling strength.
Others would use a magnifying glass to examine the raw stones, even observing the age and environment of the stones, while Chen Jiu Yang simply bought them after a casual glance.
She didn't know if he could win against Qian San Jin.
They arrived at Zone A, where all the stone kings started at ten million yuan, a casino even larger than the one where Chen Jiu Yang helped Hu Qi Jie's father pick stones.
Hundreds of raw stones were displayed here, with only a few people browsing.
Stone kings starting at ten million yuan truly meant a life or death situation with a single cut!
Betting wrongly meant losing all one's fortune and falling into an abyss.
Chen Jiu Yang's divine soul was still recovering. With his current divine soul power, he could only examine three to five stones at most before fainting.
He casually glanced at the price of a stone king: eighteen million eight hundred and eighty thousand yuan!
He then secretly clicked his tongue, truly expensive!
A person who worked hard their entire life to earn one or two million might risk ruin by simply walking around here and buying something.
As soon as Yao Zi Xuan and Yao Deyun entered Zone A, Yao Deyun's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Divine Hand Jin Yi!"
An old man wearing a Zhongshan suit and cloth shoes slowly walked into Zone A, exuding an air of mastery.
Seeing this person, Yao Deyun's face turned extremely grim, "This is bad! Zi Xuan, you were too impulsive this time! Jiu Yang has likely lost!"
Chen Jiu Yang asked, "Is this person very powerful?"
Yao Zi Xuan nodded with a pale face.
Yao Deyun explained in a heavy tone, "Jin Yi's ancestors were all stone gambling experts for five generations. He debuted at eighteen and accumulated over a billion yuan in assets through stone gambling in his debut year! By twenty-five, he was the number one stone gambler in Feng Province. As long as there was something good inside a raw stone, it couldn't escape his eyes!"
Chen Jiu Yang narrowed his eyes, "That powerful? Then he must be worth tens of billions now?"
"No," Yao Deyun slowly shook his head. "Jin Yi was arrogant in his youth and offended a marquis's mansion with a prefecture-level expert. All his assets were seized. The Qian family paid a great price to save him, and thus the Qian family used him to open this stone gambling city."
"The stone gambling city was initially just a small village. Because of him, it developed into the stone gambling city of its current scale over twenty years. He brings in at least three to five billion yuan for the Qian family annually through stone gambling!"
"Who in the Feng Province stone gambling world doesn't know the name 'Divine Eye Jin Yi'? He's old now, only presiding over the stone gambling city for three to five days a year. We're so unlucky to encounter him presiding over the city on this particular day!" As he said this, Yao Deyun's voice trembled.
"Jiu Yang, you really need to show your strength this time..." Yao Zi Xuan's red lips trembled as she gritted her teeth, "I don't want to marry into the Qian family!"
At this moment, Yao Zi Xuan had lost all her previous playfulness; she was genuinely afraid of Chen Jiu Yang losing the stone gambling.
Chen Jiu Yang nodded solemnly, realizing that this 'Divine Eye Jin Yi' was indeed extraordinary.
Qian San Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying to Yao Zi Xuan, "Zi Xuan, my adoptive father, Divine Eye Jin Yi, is here. You should obediently surrender and come to my bridal chamber later."
His eyes on Yao Zi Xuan were filled with greed, and he was inwardly smug. He had actually been afraid that Chen Jiu Yang would back down and refuse to gamble, but who knew Yao Zi Xuan would jump out herself and agree? It truly made him overjoyed!
Yao Zi Xuan gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm, "Qian San Jin, the gamble hasn't been decided yet. Stop being so arrogant."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Qian San Jin's eyes. He thought about how he would handle her in bed later, and then sneered at Chen Jiu Yang, "Kid, if you kowtow and apologize to me now, I might spare you and let this matter pass. Otherwise, all old and new debts will be settled later."
Chen Jiu Yang said indifferently, "Why are you such a useless piece of trash talking so much? No wonder Zi Xuan would rather commit suicide than marry you."
Qian San Jin's face instantly turned ashen with anger, "Good, good, good. I'll see how you die later!"
"The gamble begins now, let's pick the stones," Qian San Jin said, then followed Divine Eye Jin Yi to pick the raw stones.
Yao Deyun gritted his teeth, "Jiu Yang, let's pick the stones."
As soon as Yao Deyun finished speaking, from not far away, Divine Eye Jin Yi's aged voice rang out, "A Jin, it's this piece of raw stone."
Yao Deyun and Yao Zi Xuan couldn't help but turn their heads to look. They saw a raw stone with a gray surface covered in sand being chosen. It was at least two to three hundred catties in volume, clearly a stone from an old pit.
Any stone that entered Zone A was guaranteed to have something inside; the question was whether the contents could increase in value!
Yao Deyun trembled, "This is cheating! Every raw stone in Zone A was personally appraised and placed here by Jin Yi. Jin Yi obviously knows which raw stone here has the highest value!"
Hearing Yao Deyun's words, Yao Zi Xuan's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, her red lips bitten tightly.
She could only place her hopes on Chen Jiu Yang.
Qian San Jin's side had already begun to cut the stone and reveal windows, while Chen Jiu Yang was still selecting his stone.
Chen Jiu Yang frowned, enduring the pain as he unfolded his divine soul to examine the stones before him.
One was not enough, two were not enough, three were not enough!
Chen Jiu Yang overused his divine soul and immediately felt his vision blacken, about to collapse. He touched a raw stone with one hand and was able to sense its composition and what was inside.
He was overjoyed. Even if his divine soul was exhausted from being projected outwards, it still had this effect. Using his divine soul to scan the stones earlier was simply redundant.
The outcome of this round was secured.
Chen Jiu Yang then touched each raw stone one by one. After touching all of them, Chen Jiu Yang pointed to a stone priced at twenty million yuan, weighing seventy to eighty catties, and said, "I'll take this one."
This raw stone had been displayed here for many years, showing signs of seepage green. In the eyes of old experts, this stone must have something inside, but its essence might have long been lost. The chance of striking it rich by cutting this stone was too low, so no one had bought it.
However, Chen Jiu Yang saw that inside this stone was a glass-like jade as large as a car tire.
Other onlookers shook their heads when they saw Chen Jiu Yang choose this stone.
Yao Deyun and Yao Zi Xuan's hearts tightened.
At this moment, joyful exclamations came from Qian San Jin's side: "Ice jade!"
Jin Yi's aged, chuckling voice rang out, "This raw stone is at least ten catties. Made into an ornament, it's worth at least thirty million yuan."
Over thirty million yuan!
Yao Deyun and Yao Zi Xuan were extremely tense. Chen Jiu Yang's chosen stone also began to be cut and revealed windows.
The first cut, nothing. The second cut, nothing. After eleven consecutive cuts, nothing was revealed.
With each cut, Yao Deyun and Yao Zi Xuan became more nervous, Qian San Jin's smile became more arrogant, and the onlookers sighed.
Qian San Jin sneered, "I've already won. Even if your stone yields something, it won't be as valuable as mine."
Yao Zi Xuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Chen Jiu Yang sighed and drew a circle on the raw stone for the cutting master, "Open a window in this part."
"Still specifying the exact location for the window, this is sheer fantasy!" Qian San Jin sneered endlessly, "Zi Xuan, come with me. I've already booked the best five-star suite hotel here, and I can't wait to consummate our marriage!"
Chen Jiu Yang: "Shut your damn mouth. The cutting isn't finished yet, why are you so arrogant and smug? Were you born with a mother but no father to teach you manners?"
"You!" Qian San Jin looked at Chen Jiu Yang with venomous eyes, "Fine, I'll let you live a few more minutes."
After the cutting master opened the window according to Chen Jiu Yang's request, he was stunned the next moment, "It really yielded green!"
"And it's glass-like jade!!!"
