Because he activated his Sea God power to probe it, he discovered that it was actually a piece of top-quality glass-type jadeite, and moreover, it was an old pit glass-type jadeite!
Although the volume of this raw stone was not large, with a length of only more than forty centimeters, a width of more than thirty centimeters, and a height of more than twenty centimeters.
With such a size, compared to those giant jadeite raw stones in the third layer that were often over half a meter long, it seemed like child's play.
However, the content inside was very high. Except for the outer skin, almost all of it was jadeite.
The value of such a piece of top-quality old pit glass-type jadeite would definitely be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!
In an instant, Ye Feng's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and his breathing became a little rapid.
However, he knew that the more it was at this time, the less he could show it, especially since Tang Zhiyang and the others had already taken a fancy to this raw stone and seemed to be planning to buy it.
Once they bought this piece, Ye Feng estimated that even if he picked the ones from the first and second floors combined, they wouldn't be comparable to this single piece.
Because this was the best piece Ye Feng had touched in the third layer, and it was actually chosen by Tang Zhiyang and the other person.
While Ye Feng was surprised, Tang Zhiyang saw Ye Feng reach out and touch it, and quickly shouted, "Hey, Ye Feng, what are you touching? I've chosen this piece!"
When Ye Feng heard this, he said, "What do you mean you've chosen it? You haven't paid for it yet!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang stood in front of the raw stone and said, "I'll pay for it right away!"
"Heh heh! Really! Then hurry up and pay!" Ye Feng urged.
Hearing this, the two were stunned and felt that Ye Feng seemed to have some plan in mind.
At this time, Ye Feng spoke again, "This piece looks like it will yield good material, but let me remind you with your own words!"
"What words?" Tang Zhiyang asked, confused.
Ye Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "With such a small volume of this raw stone, even if it yields good material, it won't be worth much!"
Hearing this, the two were shocked. It was indeed true.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Ye Feng continued to fool them, "Our competition only stated whose total value of the three chosen raw stones is the highest, right?"
This made Tang Zhiyang very confused and he asked, "What do you mean? What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I mean, we can only pick one jadeite raw stone on each floor. If I pick a bigger one, even if the quality is not as good as yours, its value might be higher than yours!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng turned and walked towards the several largest raw stones in front of him.
Those were all jadeite raw stones worth over thirty million, and their sizes were all over half a meter.
Especially one of them, which was nearly a meter long, was priced at over seventy million.
Seeing Ye Feng walk towards those raw stones, the two were stunned.
Because any one of those raw stones was several times larger than their current piece, and the fact that they were priced so high indicated that they had been appraised by some experts.
There was also a high probability of yielding very good jadeite from them. As long as the yield was not too poor, several times the volume would not be less valuable than his, and might even be higher.
Upon hearing this, the two suddenly remembered that the rule of their competition was the highest total value in the end, and it didn't specify how much money to spend.
The piece they fancied was only priced at nine million. Even if it yielded ice-type jadeite, it wouldn't break even. If it yielded high-ice jadeite, it could reach tens of millions to break even. Only by yielding glass-type jadeite could it reach twenty to thirty million.
However, even if it yielded glass-type jadeite, it still wouldn't reach the price they had marked.
After all, those larger pieces started at thirty million, the better ones were often forty to fifty million, and the most expensive one even reached seventy million.
Therefore, the two instantly realized their mistake and decisively abandoned that piece, chasing after Ye Feng.
Ye Feng walked ahead. Although he didn't look back, he heard their footsteps catching up and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Ye Feng, thank you for your reminder! Otherwise, we would have almost forgotten the rules!" Zhao Yanxuan said, looking at Ye Feng with a strange expression.
For some reason, he always felt that Ye Feng's behavior was a bit off.
But he couldn't pinpoint where it was wrong, as Ye Feng's words were perfectly reasonable.
Because the upper limit of their chosen piece was indeed not high, and once Ye Feng chose a larger piece, even if the quality he yielded was a loss, its value might still be more than what they yielded.
Therefore, although he felt Ye Feng's reminder was strange, he didn't think too much about it.
Tang Zhiyang was not as perceptive as Zhao Yanxuan, and he laughed heartily, "Haha! Ye Feng, how come I never realized your brain was so smart?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng rolled his eyes at him, "Are you praising me, or deliberately mocking me for reminding you!"
"Haha! No, no, thank you for your reminder!"
Tang Zhiyang said, quickly catching up with Ye Feng and walking towards the largest jadeite raw stones.
In fact, Ye Feng was not wrong. This guy was indeed mocking Ye Feng for reminding them.
After all, what smart person would remind their competitor? Isn't this asking for trouble?
But was Ye Feng asking for trouble? Of course not!
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the largest jadeite raw stones.
Ye Feng stepped forward to examine them, touching them one by one and observing them carefully, with extreme seriousness.
However, all of this was just for show to Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan.
As for Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan, seeing Ye Feng observing carefully, they also quickly started observing, occasionally exclaiming.
At this moment, they were truly grateful for Ye Feng's reminder, otherwise they would have really chosen that jadeite raw stone.
There were a total of nine raw stones exceeding thirty million here, and they were even numbered from one to nine.
The ranking of these nine jadeite raw stones was based on their prices from high to low.
After Ye Feng's careful examination, he found that the prices were actually estimated based on the volume of the nine jadeite raw stones.
Although there might be some discrepancies, the difference would not be too large.
The nine jadeite raw stones, each over half a meter long, were all priced over thirty million, but Ye Feng took a closer look and found that only two of them were truly worth their marked prices.
Those were number three and number seven!
Number seven was priced at thirty-nine million, a high-ice jadeite. With such a large volume, it was worth about that much.
Then there was number three, priced at fifty million, which was a glass-type jadeite with excellent geological texture and water quality.
If Ye Feng hadn't missed anything, this piece was likely the best jadeite raw stone in the entire third layer, apart from the one Tang Zhiyang and the others had initially fancied.
As for the others, numbers four and five were glutinous-type jadeite. The better ones, like number two, were ice-type jadeite, but they were nowhere near worth the prices marked on them.
Numbers six and eight, although not waste stones, had less than one-tenth of their content as jadeite, valued at only a few hundred thousand to a million, making them no different from waste stones.
As for the last ones, number one and number nine, they were definitely waste stones. Inside, there was nothing but stone.
However, it was worth mentioning number one, which was valued at over seventy million. A faint pale green of glass-type jadeite was exposed on its side, which was very attractive.
That's why its price was marked so high.
When Tang Zhiyang saw this piece, he was overjoyed and instantly became excited...
