The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: I Didn’t Take a Loss, I Made a Huge Profit

As the Sword Master, Zhou Shilong was the most shocked!

He hadn’t felt the slightest bit of resistance, which meant this Treasure Blade was ridiculously sharp!

SCHLICK! SCHLICK!

Zhou Shilong cut precisely along the lines Cheng Yuan had drawn.

A few cuts later, a distinct white mist appeared, flowing out with incredible strength!

Zhou Shilong couldn’t help but exclaim, ”There’s mist! The mist is flowing so strongly! This could be a huge win!”

Everyone held their breath.

Judging by the flow of the mist, it seemed raw stone number three really could be a huge win.

SCHLICK!

With another cut, a dazzling green light appeared before everyone’s eyes!

Zhou Shilong, Lin Shaofeng, and Duan Lang were ecstatic!

”It’s green! We’ve struck green! And it’s so rich! This is a massive win!”

However, Miao Shijie, who was standing to the side, snorted coldly and said with disdain, ”It’s just a waxy-type jade. Even if it’s full green, it’s not worth much. A few million at best! You’re here to buy Spirit Stones, not jadeite! I really don’t see what you’re so happy about.”

The others also wore amused, mocking expressions.

Young Chief Miao was right. This was a Spirit Stone auction, not a jadeite auction.

At a price of one hundred million, this was clearly a loss.

Zhou Shilong, Lin Shaofeng, and Duan Lang’s excitement died instantly. That was right—Cheng Yuan had spent a hundred million on raw stone number three.

If it didn’t yield a Spirit Stone and only produced ordinary jadeite, it would be a massive loss!

Zhou Shilong looked at Cheng Yuan questioningly. ”Master Cheng, should I keep cutting?”

”Of course. You’ve only opened up one side. Now open up another.”

”Ah, alright.”

SCHLICK, SCHLICK.

Zhou Shilong began cutting from another side, his face suddenly lit with feverish excitement.

”It’s green! The transparency is incredibly high! It must be glassy-type! And it’s full green! This is Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite! Even if there’s no Spirit Stone inside, this piece of Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite alone is worth a hundred million! Master Cheng, you truly have a great eye!”

Miao Shijie, Qian Jinshui, Bao Beilong, and the others quickly crowded closer.

These men held high positions and often dealt in jadeite, so they could tell with a single glance that this was truly Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite!

The three of them exchanged bitter smiles. ’This Cheng fellow’s luck is just too good, isn’t it?’

’To think he actually cut out a piece of Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite!’

’Even with all their wealth and status, none of them had ever seen a piece of Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite this large!’

’A find like this was something you could only dream of, not actively seek out!’

Bao Beilong said in a deep voice, ”Master Xiaocheng, stop cutting for a moment. I want raw stone number three. I’ll offer two hundred million. What do you say?”

Hearing this, Duan Lang, Zhou Shilong, and Lin Shaofeng were instantly thrilled. The three of them almost simultaneously shot meaningful looks at Cheng Yuan, urging him to agree immediately.

Although the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite’s Jade Flesh was now exposed, no one could say for sure how thick it was. What if it was just a thin layer?

Two hundred million was an absolutely fantastic price!

But Cheng Yuan, with his Double Pupil, knew better. He knew very well that the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite wasn’t the most precious part. The truly precious item was the Jade Marrow encased within it!

This thing was the very essence of jade!

It was formed when a piece of Top Grade Jade soaked in the core of an Earth Vein for hundreds, even thousands of years, absorbing countless amounts of the Essence of Heaven and Earth!

In ancient legends, some Jade Marrow could even gain Spiritual Wisdom and become an Innate Spirit.

For example, Sun Wukong in *Journey to the West* was born from a stone.

Let alone two hundred million.

Cheng Yuan wouldn’t have hesitated even for two billion.

Cheng Yuan rejected Bao Beilong without hesitation. ”Mr. Bao, I’m sorry, but raw stone number three is not for sale. Shilong, continue cutting.”

This...

Zhou Shilong felt like he was going to die of frustration. Raw stone number three was right in front of him. Others might not understand, but how could he, the Surgical Assistant, not see it?

Zhou Shilong could faintly make out the stone core within the Jade Flesh of the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite. In other words, the layer of Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite was paper-thin!

’If I cut it all out, it’ll be worthless!’

However, Zhou Shilong didn’t dare to defy Cheng Yuan’s will. He could only acknowledge the order and continue cutting the stone.

SCHLICK, SCHLICK.

Two minutes later, raw stone number three was completely cut open.

The crowd surged forward, wanting to see exactly how much Jade Flesh the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite had.

After getting a clear look, strange expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.

It turned out the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite was just a thin layer after all. It was less than two centimeters thick! Inside that was an opaque stone core, likely very poor-quality jadeite.

If that was the case, it could only be used to make small pieces like ring faces or earring pendants, which would drastically reduce its value.

Bao Beilong patted his chest, a look of lingering fear on his face. ”Thank goodness Master Xiaocheng wasn’t willing to sell. Otherwise, I’d be crying my eyes out in a bathroom stall right now.”

With a snort, Zhou Shijie burst out laughing.

”Hahaha, and here I thought there’d be a huge chunk of Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite! Turns out it’s just a shallow layer! With this little bit of Jade Flesh, it’s worth twenty million at most! He’s lost his shirt on this one!”

Duan Lang snorted coldly. ”Even if it’s a loss, it’s a loss on your dime, Young Chief! After all, this is the money you lost to Master Cheng! I don’t see what you have to be so smug about.”

”You—!”

Cheng Yuan raised a hand, interrupting their argument, and said coolly, ”You’re all mistaken. I didn’t lose money. In fact, I made a huge profit!”

Didn’t lose money?

A huge profit?

The crowd was baffled. They stared at Cheng Yuan with confused expressions, wondering why he was talking such nonsense. The facts were already perfectly clear!

Miao Shijie snorted. ”Kid, the facts are obvious, and you’re still trying to argue? Even an idiot can see the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite is just a thin layer. How could you possibly have made a huge profit?”

The people around them all shot disdainful looks at Cheng Yuan. At their level, winning or losing wasn’t the point; the key was knowing how to lose gracefully.

This obstinance from Cheng Yuan made him look like a sore loser.

Cheng Yuan ignored their disdainful looks and said calmly, ”Shilong, continue cutting the stone.”

Continue cutting the stone?

Zhou Shilong was stunned!

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

Everyone stared at Cheng Yuan in confusion.

’It’s already been completely cut open,’ they thought. ’Why does this kid want to keep cutting?’

Zhou Shilong was at a loss and asked timidly, ”Master Cheng, the Jade Flesh has been completely revealed. How can I continue cutting?”

Cheng Yuan said calmly, ”Cut open the Imperial Green Jadeite.”

What?!

The crowd was about to go insane. They stared at Cheng Yuan in utter disbelief, completely unable to understand what he was doing.

Duan Lang was so shocked that he blurted out Cheng Yuan’s true title: ”Third Uncle! Don’t be rash! Even though this Imperial Green Jadeite is thin, it’s still worth at least twenty million! If you let Shilong cut it open, it’ll be worthless!”

Luckily, everyone was in such a state of shock that they didn’t notice what Duan Lang had called him.

Zhou Shilong laughed awkwardly. ”Master Cheng, you have a great sense of humor. You sure know how to joke, haha...”

Cheng Yuan’s expression was grave. ”I’m not being funny in the slightest, and I’m not joking. Forget it. I’ll do it myself.”

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan snatched the Broken Blade from Zhou Shilong’s hand.

SCHLICK!

Before the uncomprehending eyes of the crowd, Cheng Yuan sliced the Jade Flesh of the Top Grade Imperial Green Jadeite to pieces!
