Chapter 242: Not Giving an Inch

When the jade stone was placed on the platform, the auctioneer immediately pulled off the red cloth, revealing a jade stone as tall as a man and two meters wide before the crowd. It was translucent and possessed a glaze-like quality. However, amidst its beauty, it was marbled with some blood-red and pale yellow stains, which made it look exceedingly perfect.

"Wow!"

"What a beautiful jade!"

"Tsk tsk, with such a jade, how could anyone bear to sell it?"

A number of people exclaimed in amazement.

With a starting price of fifty million, it was, after all, just a piece of jade, not a Jade Talisman. A Jade Talisman was priceless in the market, but jade stone, despite also being inestimably valuable, lacked the effects of a Jade Talisman.

However valuable the jade was, it still required someone to process it.
