Treasure identifying Golden Finger

3Faang Cheng followed Elder Wen and the Fourth Master Qi to the courtyard on the other side of the villa. There was a camphor tree growing in the courtyard, and in the shade of the tree, there was a table of four chairs, which were carved out of mountain rocks. On the stone table, there was a chess piece.    

    

"Faang Cheng, I didn't think that this Elder Wen would actually be my master!"    

    

Seeing that Faang Cheng was still confused, the Fourth Master Qi smiled and said to him.    

    

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that …"    

    

Faang Cheng shook his head vigorously.    

    

"Look, this is the miraculous fate between people. From the looks of it, the two of us are destined to be together …"    

    

Elder Wen patted Faang Cheng's shoulder, seeing that he was still holding onto his backpack, she asked again.    

    

"I heard from Qi Si that you have a few ores that you want me to take a look at? "Where did it come from?"    

    

"Oh, right!"    

    

Faang Cheng anxiously opened his inventory and took out six pieces of Jade Origin Stones that were not small.    

    

"I found a Jade Ore at the junction of Jinxi and Yu Chuan in the Qinling Mountains. This is a piece of jade ore I picked up from there. It should be a new type of jade, Yi Yuan Jade Stone!"    

    

Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Fourth Master Qi couldn't help but be shocked, and when Elder Wen looked at him, a look of surprise flashed past his eyes. But since he was an old man who had seen the world, he calmly opened his mouth.    

    

"Are you saying that you discovered a Jade Ore with your own eyes and experience?"    

    

"Yes, but there are quite a few people in the mountain searching for the mine. There's also the captain of my geological exploration team. We found him together!"    

    

Faang Cheng answered truthfully, the look in Elder Wen's eyes became a tinge of light once again.    

    

"There are many talents in the world …" Alright, give me the ore so that I can take a look! "    

    

When he saw these raw stones, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The raw stones Faang Cheng had brought along were all completely raw materials, in other words, jade raw stones with no way of seeing the situation inside. This kind of raw stones were the hardest to judge if there was jade meat within, or if the quality of the jade meat was superior! But of course, this was not difficult for Wen Ming. He pointed at a few ores and said,    

    

These few pieces of raw rock looked very ordinary. Most of them had a hazy ash-gray surface, and some of the raw stones had traces of pale, calcareous lines on them, while some of them had a faint cyan thread that was almost invisible. If one held the magnifying glass and observed carefully, they would find that some grain-like objects were attached to the surface, and the color of the sand was fine and evenly distributed! Wen Qiming used a magnifying glass to observe carefully for a while. Then, he put down the magnifying glass and looked at Faang Cheng.    

    

"Although this Yi Yuan Jade is a new kind of jade, because of its color and variety of texture, its collection value and market value are very high! In my experience, there are two possibilities for the entire material of this state. First, it is a very ordinary mountain rock, and there is not even a single piece of jade inside it, so the vein lines of this ore are clear, continuous, without any broken points or grooves. Secondly, it is also because the veins of the ore outside are clear, coherent and without any contact points, so it is very possible that there is an unblemished, perfect piece of jade wrapped inside it! "    

    

Elder Wen paused here.    

    

"Actually, thinking about it, aren't these two points very contradictory? The ups and downs! But since ancient times, opening jade has been a form of gambling. Since this is gambling, it depends on experience and luck. Whether or not you can open it will depend on your luck! "    

    

"Teacher, if it's luck, then this kid is definitely not a problem. I've worked in the antique shop for so many years, and he's the luckiest person I've ever met!"    

    

Fourth Master Qi said to Elder Wen with a smile. Hearing him say that, Elder Wen also laughed, and when she thought about how Faang Cheng had casually said that he had discovered a Jade Ore, Elder Wen believed that Qi Si's words were definitely true.    

    

"Sure, then I'll open it for you. My old man is getting on in years, so he might take a longer time to prepare. You guys have to be patient!"    

    

"Elder Wen, I'm not in a hurry at all, take your time!"    

    

Hearing Faang Cheng's words, the Elder Wen laughed out loud. Then, she took the small cutting machine and the cleaning machine that specialized in opening jade and started to open the stones.    

    

First, Elder Wen threw the ore into a bucket to wash thoroughly, then she scooped it out and cleaned it. Because these few ores were not particularly large, Elder Wen did not choose to cut them with a knife, and instead chose to cut them at the edge, he chose a rock that looked more rough than the rest, and went to the cutting machine. Following the sound of the cutting machine, green light appeared in front of the three people as the stone was cut.    

    

"Got it!"    

    

Some said that the process of opening the stone was very exciting and relaxing. Turns out that Faang Cheng did not understand, but ever since he participated in understanding the process of the stone, he understood the meaning of those words!    

    

"No, the skin is too thin, we can't cut it anymore. It looks like there's a beautiful dark green piece of Yi Yuan jade inside, and the piece of jade is very plump. It will grow very close to the skin."    

    

Elder Wen stared at the cut jade face, her eyes revealing a trace of amazement. This jade meat was an extremely beautiful dark green, it looked warm and exquisite, with a sheen similar to oil, looking like an old piece of meat from time immemorial.    

    

"Then what should we do?"    

    

After Faang Cheng heard what the Elder Wen said, he became anxious.    

    

"It doesn't matter. We can't use the cutting machine. We'll go on the sand turbine and slowly rub it out!"    

    

Elder Wen pushed the cutting machine to the side, and brought up a sand wheel from beside her feet. Seems like he was already prepared, following that, Elder Wen activated the sand turbine, and gently rubbed down along the edge of the window, and as expected, the skin of the ore became thinner, in some places revealing a beautiful dark green color just by moving a little!    

    

Although the ore wasn't big, it was still the most meticulous part in unwrapping the jade. A single mistake would harm the jade's flesh. To someone who loved jade, that was an unforgivable mistake! Finally, after more than an hour of grinding, a complete oval of jade meat appeared in front of Faang Cheng. Because it was such a round and whole piece, at first glance, the jade meat looked like black paint, but Elder Wen took out a small spotlight and shone it into the depths of the jade meat.    

    

"Beautiful!"    

    

Fourth Master Qi could not help but sigh.    

    

"How beautiful! How long would it take for such a thick colored jade to be buried under the ground before it was discovered by a destined person? Let alone the jade itself, just thinking about it makes people extremely excited!"    

    

Elder Wen lamented. He had loved jade her entire life and was almost infatuated with it, so when she saw the beautiful jade, she couldn't even walk straight. He held the jade that was like a giant goose egg and looked at Faang Cheng.    

    

"Faang Cheng, this jade... Are you selling it? "
