A few people took a car from the hotel to the Mandalay Jade Market.
This is the largest jade market in Myanmar, located in the southwest of Mandalay.
In this trading place, which resembled a vegetable market, countless jade rough stone stalls were displayed, including open-face, semi-open-face, and rough-skin rough stones.
Do not underestimate these stalls; tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of transactions occur here every day.
Upon entering the market, Guo Xuyang immediately released his senses, focused his gaze, and scanned forward. He intended to make a killing today.
He took a liking to a rough stone weighing over a hundred kilograms.
The streak of emerald green inside this rough stone almost blinded his titanium eyes. The approximately twenty kilograms of jade within it made him unable to move his legs.
"Boss, how much for this one?"
"Five hundred thousand euros."
"Cheaper?"
"No lower. This is Mu Na rough."
Seeing that he could not possibly get the price down, Guo Xuyang simply had Pi Xiaoqian pay.
"Boss, will you cut it here or take it away?"
"Cut it open now," Guo Xuyang said.
The stall owner called for help to move the rough stone for cutting, and Wu Youzhi followed.
Guo Xuyang continued to walk forward.
He had just seen a streak of purple, even better than the top-grade grape jade he had cut in Kyoto.
This stone was quite large, weighing about a ton, and it was in a shop, not on a stall.
He led a few people into the shop.
"Boss, welcome. Please come in and have a look," the shop owner enthusiastically invited everyone in.
Guo Xuyang pointed at the large piece and asked, "How much for this?"
"One point five million euros."
These people were truly asking for the moon.
Perhaps seeing that Guo Xuyang and his group were from China, these Burmese locals quoted incredibly high prices.
"Six hundred thousand?" Guo Xuyang offered his bottom price.
"No, that won't even cover my costs," the shop owner refused.
"If you really want it, then one point four million."
"Seven hundred thousand? While this rough is large, its overall appearance is not that good."
"One point three million, no less than that."
"I'll give you one price, one million. If not, I'll look around elsewhere."
The owner still shook his head in disagreement.
Guo Xuyang turned to leave, but the owner called him back as he was about to go.
"Boss, it's yours. I see you genuinely want it."
In fact, if the Myanmar public auction was not about to open, business here wouldn't be this good.
Moreover, this rough stone was settled in euros.
If it were settled in their Myanmar currency, it would amount to over 1.7 billion, truly a sky-high price.
Guo Xuyang remained noncommittal and had Pi Xiaoqian pay.
These places operated on cash transactions.
With money and goods exchanged, Guo Xuyang asked the owner to help cut the rough stone.
He drew a line directly in the middle, and the owner arranged for a young assistant to help.
The assistant used a forklift to lift the stone into the room, started the cutting machine, secured the stone, and then pressed the oil saw switch.
Instantly, smoke billowed, and the dust was overwhelming.
The group walked out of the room again.
The large rough stone took nearly an hour to be cut in half.
The line Guo Xuyang drew was exactly where the jade was, and with a strong flashlight shone on it, a dazzling purple light filled the entire cutting room.
It was likely over a hundred kilograms of high-ice lavender jade, an almost unbelievable visual impact.
Guo Xuyang had Pi Xiaoqian give the stone cutter a thousand euros and asked him to excavate the jade.
"How much will this be worth?" Li Minxi asked softly.
She knew that the top-grade grape jade cut in Kyoto's Treasure Pavilion had sold for fifteen billion at the time, and this would yield how many portions of top-grade grape jade.
"This will sell for no less than fifty billion RMB. Of course, if it's made into ornaments or carvings, it might fetch over a hundred billion," Pi Xiaoqian said.
This was too profitable, a hundredfold increase in an instant.
No wonder they say one cut can lead to poverty, wealth, or a burial shroud.
Jellina witnessed Guo Xuyang's miracle and wasn't surprised. People with special abilities found it very convenient to make money in the mundane world.
This gave her a deeper understanding of Guo Xuyang.
Last time, she had only seen Guo Xuyang’s ability to become invisible. Now it seemed he could also see through things.
No wonder he found her so easily. She now understood the source of that chilling feeling.
However, she harbored no thought of resistance, believing her master should be this outstanding.
Guo Xuyang did not linger in this place for too long. He asked Pi Xiaoqian to wait there.
He and the others continued to walk forward.
There was an imperial green jade ahead. Once he secured the imperial green, his task for the day would be considered complete.
After walking about three to four hundred meters, he and Lü Liang entered a shop.
This stone wasn't large, weighing about forty to fifty kilograms, but the top-grade jade inside was fully colored.
A mere thin outer shell sealed the vibrant green within, making him marvel at the wonders of nature's creator.
"Boss, how much for this stone?"
"Three hundred thousand euros."
"Please have someone help me send this to the car," Guo Xuyang said.
This stone, priced at three hundred thousand euros, was practically a steal.
He didn't dare to cut it here, fearing it would attract unwanted attention.
He had plans for this stone.
Last time, Kasa mentioned needing top-grade jade, and today it was very successfully fulfilled.
"Boss, what about this one?" he asked, pointing to a rough-skin stone weighing about ten kilograms nearby.
"Ten thousand euros."
"Who wants to take this and play around with it?" Guo Xuyang asked.
He had already bought three pieces of top-grade jade today, and the people who came with him hadn't made any purchases yet.
"Give it to Jellina. We've all made our gains," Li Minxi said.
"Thank you, Miss Li," Jellina said. "Thank you, Yangzi."
As an assassin, she naturally understood Li Minxi's meaning.
This was a gift from Guo Xuyang to her.
However, Jellina's words struck a chord with Li Minxi.
"Thank you, Yangzi?"
Had they become so intimate in just one night?
Li Minxi cursed the playboy in her heart.
There was nothing she could do; he was just that outstanding.
Kyoto's Elena was devoted to Guo Xuyang and was even pregnant.
They had been gone from Kyoto for less than two days, and he had already found another Western woman as beautiful as a fairy. She truly wondered where Guo Xuyang's immense charm came from.
Wasn't she herself also attracted to him? Otherwise, why would she travel all this way?
The more Li Minxi thought about it, the angrier she became.
Guo Xuyang completely failed to understand her feelings and had no interest in her whatsoever. Her affection was completely one-sided.
But she couldn't let go. Did it have to be her who made the first move?
While Li Minxi was lost in her thoughts, Jellina's stone had already been cut.
"Omega-grade, it's too beautiful, too incredible," Jellina exclaimed repeatedly.
This stone yielded about four kilograms of high-ice, true-color green jade. The color was astonishingly beautiful.
Jellina was smitten with it and even spontaneously kissed Guo Xuyang.
