Chapter 10 Extreme Detection

  Because of his own eyesight recovery, Lin Yue's jade carving skills have improved again, and he is more familiar with the operation of those unfamiliar large cutting machines. He now has a world of difference from the situation where he just adjusted the saw blade for half a day at the beginning. His speed of cutting is extremely fast, and his accuracy is unparalleled. Lin Yue has become the leader of the jade carvers in the Rong Le Xuan factory house. For those difficult-to-cut materials, they are all cut by him, no matter how hard they are to carve, he can always carve them perfectly. As for Lin Yue's skills, He Yuzang also praised him highly, saying that Lin Yue's skills are already rare in the jade carving world, but there is still a gap between him and the top-notch jade carvers.

  Lin Yue had never seen a real master of the art of untying stones, and he very much hoped that He Changhe could take him to see one, as this would be a good opportunity for learning. He Changhe smiled and agreed.

  One day after Lin Yue finished breakfast, he came to the workshop to continue cutting stones. Today, He Youzang bought a batch of rough jade, which has been basically solved, leaving only one last pile with larger heads. These have been drawn and only need to be cut along the line. The branches that are not grasped can be ground with a sanding machine, and the jade can be slowly ground out. Today is almost all the rough jade processed.

  By the late afternoon, almost all the jadeite had been opened, leaving only one last piece for tomorrow. The gamblers have a tradition that not only do they want to start with a good omen, but also end on a high note. Starting with a good omen is auspicious, and ending with a piece of fine jade means that this round of gambling has ended successfully, and it also symbolizes good luck for the next round. Having a beginning and an end has always been a traditional Chinese way of thinking. Therefore, generally speaking, the two best pieces of jadeite in each batch are taken out separately and placed at the front or back, of course, this refers to the whole piece of jadeite, excluding those that have already been cut open or sliced.

  Lin Yue let out a sigh of relief after finishing the last piece of wool, finally done. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and happened to catch sight of the wool in the corner of the factory that he was supposed to unravel tomorrow, feeling a thrill in his heart. These days he had been listening to others talk about jade knowledge, but hadn't actually practiced much, so it would be perfect to test himself with this highly uncertain wool.

  He said it and did it, Lin Yue quickly walked towards the piece of fabric. Because everyone in the workshop was busy with their own work, no one noticed Lin Yue, even if they did, it wouldn't be a big deal, Master Shi's inspection of the fabric was a normal thing to do.

  Before the wool, Lin Yue thought for a while about the knowledge he had learned in the past few days. Then, as he looked at the piece of wool in front of him, which was nearly 100 kilograms, he muttered to himself: "First, let's look at the factory mouth where the wool is mined. Those masters all say 'don't gamble on stones if you don't understand the factory mouth.' It seems that the factory mouth is very important for gambling on stones. The surface of this piece of wool gives people a feeling of being very thin... The entire surface presents a yellowish-white color, which should be Burmese jade."

  Then Lin Yue thought of the characteristics of jadeite produced by Gaotai Yu Shi masters: "Good crystal, good variety, high transparency, sufficient color, generally mainly low-grade brick material."

  Although so, no one dares to say there is no good jade inside.

  Lin Yue thought that just by looking at the fabric from the factory gate, its potential was already very high. Even if it didn't open up to be good jadeite, preserving the capital shouldn't be a problem. Of course, the key is opening up to be jadeite; having high potential doesn't necessarily mean it will rise in value.

  Then Lin Yue took a look at other characteristics of this piece of wool fabric.

  There are many things like a cluster of pine flowers on the surface of the jade, which is called "pine flower" in the language of jade gambling. The pine flowers on the surface of the jade appear very bright and beautiful, especially the faintly visible green color, which makes people feel a burst of spring atmosphere. Lin Yue knew that the pine flowers were the external manifestation of the color inside the jade, generally the fresher and greener the better, so this piece of jade's pine flowers are fresh and green, it can be seen that the color of the jade inside must be very good. In the jade gambling circle, there is a saying "the difference in color is one level, the price difference is ten times", which shows the importance of color.

  The surface of the wool fabric has a large range of slubs, and they are all connected. It's not that the more slubs there are, the better; some jade-green ones have all run to the outside, while inside there aren't any jade-green ones at all - this kind of wool fabric surface will have many slubs. Looking at the slubs is not just about looking at the area, but also at their depth. Lin Yue couldn't tell how deep or shallow these slubs were with his naked eye and experience, so he could only give up. He thought that since He You Cang had chosen this piece of wool fabric, there must be a reason for it; perhaps these slubs went very deep.

  There is another characteristic of high-quality cashmere - the presence of a "mottled" or "speckled" pattern. This piece of cashmere has several such patterns, and there are two on the suede side alone. The mottled pattern is an important internal characteristic, but having this pattern does not necessarily mean it has a green tint; it also needs to have a suede-like texture. So if a piece of cashmere has a mottled pattern and suede-like texture, it's almost certain that it contains green tint, but there's still a big possibility that it doesn't or the green tint is very light - after all, who can guess the will of nature?

  Finally, Lin Yue also took a look at the moss on the surface of the wool. Judging the green method by moss is very complicated, generally there are displays next to the moss, which indicates that there is green inside, but it is impossible to judge how much and what shape the green is inside. There isn't too much moss outside this piece of wool, but there are still a few pine flowers accompanying it, all of which indicate that there is green inside.

  Soon, Lin Yue came to a final conclusion. The piece of wool in front of him had an extremely high value, and it was frighteningly high. No wonder He Youzang used this piece as the last resort. Generally, if a piece of wool has several characteristics, it's already good enough, but this one had them all, which is rare. A piece of wool with such high value must have cost He Youzang a lot of money. According to Lin Yue's estimate, it would be at least 100 million, or even higher.

  Lin Yue was also startled by his own judgment, and gambling on stones was indeed a life-or-death matter that could make one rich in an instant!

  Lin Yue stood up and looked around, feeling that it was also time to get off work now, but there were still many people working. Lin Yue sighed and shook his head, it seemed that today would be another overtime day like the previous few days.

  What have you been up to lately?

  Lin Yue glanced at the wool fabric beside him, should he continue to examine this piece of wool fabric?

  Suddenly, Lin Yue thought of his own almost forgotten superpower.

  Can you use your psychic powers to see what's inside the wool?

  Lin Yuezong's heart suddenly stirred with excitement, not only could he see the situation inside the jade beforehand, but also test the depth of his own extreme detection. The first time he used his ability, he could only see through half a mobile phone, and the second time he used it, he saw through a piece of wool weighing over three kilograms. If he followed this pattern of seeing deeper each time, how deep would he be able to see this time?

  Lin Yue took a glance at the massive wool in front of him and felt a wave of dizziness, wondering if he could see through something so deep. Moreover, it was not only wide but also very long.

  Give it a try!

  Lin Yue took a look around and made sure no one was watching him before taking a deep breath and squatting down in front of the emerald wool.

  It's not that he's too cautious, but if he could see the secrets inside the emerald wool and spread them out, who would still let him gamble on stones? Some people might even use some shady means to force him to work for them. At that time, his situation will be extremely dangerous. It's a crime to possess jade! For his own safety, he has no choice but to do so.

  In order to see the jade inside the wool more clearly, he started looking from where the pine flowers were blooming.

  Lin Yue relaxed his body and mind, concentrated his spirit, and stared intently at the wool in front of him with an unprecedented focus.

  The surface of the wool fabric began to fade away, and the bright green pine flowers also faded with it. The color of the pine flowers deepened as they went inside, outside was still a lush green, but inside became dark green, just like he had judged, this piece of wool fabric's surface layer was very thin, the pine flowers almost penetrated the entire surface layer of the wool fabric. As the outer surface faded away, a burst of green suddenly filled Lin Yang's entire field of vision.

  Lin Yue's mind was shaken, the dazzling green made him feel like he was in a drunken haze, as if he had entered a world of green, his whole body felt refreshed. The emerald meat was crystal clear, the color was fresh and green, and it seemed that the green was flowing like jade, very lively. Lin Yue had never seen such high-quality green before, thinking that this piece of wool must have risen in value, and greatly so.

  To get a clear view of the size of the jade in this piece of wool, Lin jumped back and forth, moving left and right, and when he saw the situation, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. It's so big, the length of this piece of jade is over 30 centimeters long. The quality is excellent, and with such a large piece of jade, it's worth no less than 50 million.
