Others, seeing him suddenly stop, were all very confused and couldn't help but start asking.
"Master Wu, why did you stop polishing?"
"Yes! Hurry up and polish! We're still waiting to see!"
"That's right, hurry up and polish! Even though we know it won't yield anything good, we still want to see!"
Listening to the words of those around him, Master Wu snorted and said, "Who said it wouldn't yield anything good?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Such a small piece, could it possibly yield something good?" the person said somewhat disdainfully.
Master Wu heard this and directly replied, "It has already yielded, and it's good stuff!"
As the best stone-cutting master here, Master Wu not only had excellent cutting skills but also understood raw stones far better than ordinary people.
The moment he received this raw stone, he knew it was a good piece, capable of yielding excellent jade.
He had only polished a tiny bit just now, but with just that little bit, he had already identified the material.
"What? It yielded? And good stuff?"
"How is that possible? We didn't see it!"
"Yes! You've only polished a few times, you can't tell if it yielded anything!"
The surrounding people crowded forward, examining it closely.
Even Tang Zhiyang, Xiao Feifei, and others leaned in to examine it carefully, but they couldn't see anything.
This was because the spot Master Wu had polished was too small, just a tiny bit, and from their perspective, it was as if it hadn't been polished at all.
However, Master Wu stated, "If I say it yielded, then it absolutely yielded. Just watch carefully!"
After speaking, Master Wu continued to polish, but he did so very carefully and slowly.
It felt as if he were holding an egg in his hand, not a stone, his caution seeming exaggerated.
Hearing his words and watching his movements, everyone was a little unconvinced and focused their attention.
"Such a small piece, what good can it yield that requires such meticulous care?"
"Yes! Even when Young Master Tang had such a large piece of high ice jade, Master Wu wasn't this careful and meticulous!"
"Exactly, could this piece be of even higher quality than Young Master Tang's high ice piece?"
"That's unlikely, right? Jade is so rare nowadays, high ice is already considered very rare and unusual. It can't get any higher than this..."
Listening to their words, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head from the side.
High-quality jade was indeed rare, but there were still quite a few pieces. It was just that these people lacked the discerning eye to find them.
Under Master Wu's careful polishing, the jade rough stone belonging to Ye Feng soon revealed a palm-sized area.
The striking transparency instantly appeared before everyone's eyes. From that palm-sized area, the situation inside could be clearly seen.
It felt as if what was inside was not stone, but a piece of glass.
That clarity made everyone present gasp in amazement.
"Oh my! This, this quality, could it be?"
"This quality, it looks like, it looks like glass-type!"
"This transparency, this fineness, this is glass-type..."
Exclamations erupted all around, as if the raw stone belonged to them.
Tang Zhiyang, standing nearby, looked on in disbelief, his large eyes almost falling to the ground.
He stared blankly at the jade and murmured, "What? Glass-type? How is that possible?"
He was somewhat unwilling to believe it, rubbed his eyes, and continued to look. When he saw the transparent part, when he saw the view that allowed him to clearly see the internal situation of the entire raw stone, he was dumbfounded!
But his pride prevented him from accepting this, and he even doubted if he was dreaming. He quickly pinched his thigh.
However, the pain from his thigh told him that this was not a dream, but reality.
"Glass-type, glass-type! How, how is this possible?" Tang Zhiyang almost roared.
Beside him, Zhao Yanxuan was also somewhat stunned. Ye Feng had actually unearthed the best jade type, glass-type.
In terms of type and water, glass-type was undoubtedly the best quality. Now, Ye Feng had unearthed it.
What's more, such a large piece would definitely exceed the price of his high ice jade.
This made him very resentful. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Glass-type, it's actually glass-type. How can this guy be so lucky?"
Both of them found it hard to accept, as it was too surreal.
They were both young masters from prominent families, having been exposed to these things for over a decade, if not twenty years, since childhood.
Yet, the items they had selected were not as good as the few stones a bumpkin had randomly picked, which was enough to drive them mad.
Just as they were in disbelief, Master Wu had already polished the entire piece of jade.
By this time, the surrounding people understood why Master Wu had been so careful. The jade piece, apart from a thin layer of stone skin, was entirely jade.
That layer of skin was very thin, much thinner than the previous two high ice pieces, as thin as paper.
If Master Wu had polished and ground it as before, he would have wasted a considerable amount of jade.
Only by being cautious and polishing meticulously could the jade be preserved to the maximum extent.
Upon understanding this, they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Master Wu's professional skill. He was indeed the best stone-cutting master.
At this moment, the jade piece had been polished and transformed into a transparent work of art before everyone's eyes.
From a distance, one couldn't tell it was jade at all. Those who didn't know might have thought it was a piece of glass.
Because it was so beautiful and so transparent, if not for the fact that the people around had watched Master Wu polish it bit by bit, they wouldn't have believed it was jade.
After polishing, Master Wu announced, "Congratulations to Mr. Ye, for unearthing a high-quality glass-type jade!"
Ye Feng heard this and replied, "Thank you, Master!"
However, the merchants nearby, upon hearing Master Wu's words, immediately became excited.
"Glass-type, it's actually glass-type! It's been half a month since we've seen anyone unearth such a large piece of glass-type jade!"
"Yes! Such a large piece of glass-type, it must be worth at least twenty million or more!"
"This glass-type jade is truly magnificent! Mr. Ye, I am willing to offer twenty-one million to purchase it from you!"
"Glass-type is such a precious item, it's priceless! You want to take it for twenty-one million? Did you ask me? Twenty-three million!"
"It seems you still don't understand the preciousness of glass-type jade. I offer twenty-five million!"
"I offer twenty-eight million!"
"Thirty million..."
One bid after another echoed, and the place instantly turned into an auction.
Finally, this piece of jade was successfully auctioned for thirty-eight million.
Tang Zhiyang, standing beside, was somewhat numb.
He had thought that unearthing such a large piece of high ice jade was already amazing, enough to crush Ye Feng.
He never expected that Ye Feng would unearth glass-type jade, which was enough to infuriate him to death.
"Young Master Tang, how is it? My second piece seems to be worth more than yours too!" Ye Feng said, looking at Tang Zhiyang with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Tang Zhiyang's teeth itched with anger, and he retorted, "Hmph! What are you so proud of? So what if the second piece is better than mine? The third piece is the real main event..."
