A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 70 Making a Huge Profit.

William asked in a hushed tone. “What’s the current market price for imperial glassy jarle?”

Tia replied, “Well, glassy species is a rare find. Not to mention any jade that comes in imperial green color. So, you can imagine that a combination of both is extremely scarce. I’d give a rough estimation of about 15 thousand Talons for every 0.04 ounce, However, it’s a little hard to predict the price of larger pieces since they usually go through auctions.

This made William ponder. “So, you’re saying the bigger the piece, the higher the price?”

“You can think of it that way. Tia continued, “For example, a pair of imperial glassy jade bracelets can cost millions of Talons.”

William then silently calculated the potential profits of purchasing this Heavenly Sovereign in his mind. There were two very pure imperial glassy jades in that raw stone. The first jade, which could be seen through the small incision at the top of the stone, should weigh around 11 pounds and worth around 75 to 90 million.

The second jade was located around the middle and lower part of the rock and was very large, weighing about 132 pounds. It would easily fetch a price of 800 million Talons!

Undoubtedly, this ore had a great potential for appreciation. However, the price was simply too high. He would have almost spent all the 300 million on this ore. As William was observing the ore, Josh came over and sneered, “Well, well, you ain’t thinking of buying Heavenly Sovereign, are you?”

William raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why does it concern you?”

Josh chuckled. “This ore has a history of several hundred years, and no one has dared to buy it for centuries. I’ll respect you if you do buy it. He was aware that the probability of this super–large ore rising in value was very low. Otherwise, the Jade King would have already cut it open and sold it. Why would he wait until today?

William simply said, “Your admiration is worthless, but I’ll still show you something you’ve never seen before.” He then declared loudly, “We’ll take this Heavenly Sovereign!”

William’s words caused a ripple in the crowd. The Jade King walked over and smiled, “Do you want to buy this ore?” William nodded. “Master Tristan, not only do I want to buy it, but I also want to cut it open on the spot. Is that okay?”

Tristan’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Great! Someone bring us the tools!”

Tia did not hesitate even for a moment when she transferred 224.7 million to Tristan. The ore belonged to them from now on. However, she did not understand why William wanted to cut the ore on the spot when he had said he would not do it.

William marked the middle of the ore with a pen and ordered, “Cut it open.” Tristan’s workers took the most professional tool and started cutting the ore. The sound of an electric saw could be heard on site. Ten minutes later, a piece of ore was cut off from the top. When the stone, which weighed about 4,410 pounds, was flipped over, everyone saw a small patch of imperial green inside.

Someone exclaimed, “It’s imperial glassy jade! Because there was a small incision at the top of the ore and with the help of some lighting, it was possible to see what was inside the ore. The jade probably weighed over 11 pounds.
