166: Imperial green?
What use do I have for this Corpse Refinement Tome in a society governed by law?
Su Can found it rather amusing. With a thought, he put the cultivation manual away and quickly swapped it for another.
The second manual, however, made Su Can nod slightly, quite satisfied.
Xuan Qing Pill Scripture was a pill refining manual, which was quite useful to him.
He briefly scanned it with his divine sense; it was entirely about methods of pill refining, along with various pill recipes from low to high grade, a diverse collection.
"Good stuff!"
Su Can's eyes lit up, and he quickly put away the Xuan Qing Pill Scripture.
Just as he was about to take out the remaining two to look at them, Yang Fan suddenly called out to him.
"Su Can, you come. I've figured it out; not a single one of these raw stones of mine will rise in value!"
Yang Fan's exasperated voice drifted over.
It turned out that after gambling and losing on one raw stone just now, he was utterly disappointed, so he simply followed Su Can's example and cut with one strike.
As a result, his bold single cut directly resulted in a loss, so he simply stopped trying to cut them.
At his shout, most people's attention shifted to Su Can.
Su Can could only put down the jade cicada and walk over, planning to finish cutting the stones and then properly study the contents of the jade cicada when they entered the mountain.
"What, you're not cutting anymore?"
Su Can asked with a smile. Yang Fan dejectedly replied, "No more. The remaining raw stones are probably also mostly losses. I'm disheartened!"
"Hahaha…"
Su Can, for once, saw him so dejected. He patted his shoulder and said, "It's alright. I have good luck. Later, I'll pick one for you inside, and maybe you'll find a hidden gem! Fulfilling your long-cherished wish!"
"Really? That's great! When we finish cutting these stones, you pick one for me!"
"I've gambled on jadeite raw stones for so many years, and I've never won once. I feel like it's becoming a sickness in my heart!"
Upon hearing that Su Can was going to pick a raw stone for him, Yang Fan's dejected demeanor immediately changed, as if he had been injected with a stimulant, regaining his fighting spirit.
Su Can was speechless when he heard this. "You trust me that much? What if the raw stone I pick for you also turns out to be a loss?"
"No, it won't. I believe you. I have a very strong intuition that your luck is still there, and you will definitely be able to pick out a hidden gem!"
Yang Fan was so confident, even more so than Su Can was in himself, making Su Can feel as if he would be letting down Yang Fan's praise if he didn't pick out a significant hidden gem for him.
"Alright, just watch!"
Su Can smiled faintly, patted his shoulder, then sat down and placed the last raw stone on the machine, securing it.
Seeing that Su Can was back to cut stones, the tourists and onlookers who had lost interest and were about to leave all stopped in their tracks again.
Four raw stones, three wins.
With only the last one remaining, everyone was curious if he could continue to create luck.
Xia Yingying also hadn't left, holding a glimmer of anticipation in her heart.
Because she also knew that Su Can still had one raw stone, and she wanted to see if Su Can's luck would continue.
Although she didn't believe Su Can relied entirely on luck, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the time being.
Su Can didn't care what others thought; he just wanted to cut open the jadeite raw stone in front of him.
Currently, it seemed that this last, smallest, most inconspicuous raw stone, which had been cut and discarded by others, was his biggest hidden gem today!
However, he didn't understand the value of jadeite, so he wouldn't know exactly how big of a hidden gem it was until it was fully cut and Yang Fan had seen it.
Su Can himself was quite curious and expectant.
But this didn't hinder his steady, ruthless, and precise style; he still made one swift and decisive cut.
"Oh my goodness!" Yang Fan's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Su Can, it's such a small raw stone in total, can't you be more careful?"
"If there's jadeite in there, wouldn't one cut just ruin it?!"
However, before his words completely fell, a sudden excited shout rang out from beside him: "It's out! It's green!"
"Wh-what?"
Yang Fan instinctively froze upon hearing this, then, as if by reflex, his head snapped around to look at the fixed platform of the machine.
The next second, his pupils suddenly constricted—this green…!
The woman in windbreaker was astonished; had he actually won on this last raw stone after all?!
The Fat Boss also appeared in the field at some point, staring blankly at the green cutting surface.
A moment later, he suddenly shouted excitedly, "Holy cow, diwang green, this is absolutely diwang green!"
Saying that, he immediately went up and shined a light on it; the full green light shone through, instantly making him incredibly excited, even his hands trembled.
"This light penetration, this full green, this delicate feeling, it's definitely diwang green!"
"Oh my god, diwang green, it's diwang green!"
The boss was somewhat incoherent.
Yang Fan also excitedly chimed in, "It looks like it to me too! If it's really diwang green, my goodness, then this hidden gem today is huge!"
The woman in windbreaker, upon hearing the words "diwang green," couldn't help but tremble slightly all over.
diwang green?!
If she remembered correctly, there hadn't been any new material of it on the market for over a year, right?
