CHAPTER 697 STONE CARVING
Hearing Su Jing says that there were two more treasures, Shen Hong and Old Song then reluctantly took their eyes off Taisui and followed Su Jing into the house. Su Jing opened the lid of a box on the table and revealed the contents.
Shen Hong and Old Song just took a glance at it and their pupils suddenly shrank, Old Song even rubbed his eyes before saying: “Am I seeing things?”
Shen Hong breathed heavily as he said: “I don’t think so, or else I would be seeing things too.”
They reached out and picked up the two halves of the broken thing in the box with trembling hands, each taking one half.
This is obviously an Ornament, the whole structure is square-shaped with yellow and white coordinated colors, the upper and lower colors are white, the middle end is yellow, and it also has a natural texture.
The entire texture of this object is transparent, it is rich in lustrous luster, and it looked as gentle as jade. The whole body of this object is glaring and icy but it exudes a warm and pleasant texture.
The half in Shen Hong’s hand has a lifelike dragon and a small phoenix head, while the other half in Old Song’s hand is the other half of Phoenix, which also looked lifelike, but it is unfortunately incomplete.
Old Song spoke with a trembling voice: “Oh my God, this is really Tianhuang Stone. The piece I am holding should be about two Jin.”
Shen Hong excitedly said: “This piece in my hand should be more than two jins, and this texture is a Taiji/Primal Chaos product.”
In other words, this Tianhuang Stone ornament should weigh more than four jin, Shen Hong and Old Song couldn’t believe it.

Tianhuang Stone is called Tianhuang for short, and it is produced under the rice fields on both sides of the Shousan Stream in Shousan Countryside, Fuzhou City, and is named after its yellow color.
Tianhuang Stone is the treasure of the Shoushan stone series and is known as the “King of Myriad Rocks”. With its lovely warm color and fine texture, it has been regarded as “King of Engraved Rocks” by a native of Indian since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
For hundreds of years, Tianhuang Stone has been highly loved by collectors, as the saying goes: “Gold is easy to obtain, but Tianhuang is hard to find”.
With the continuous mining and application of Tianhuang Stone, good quality Tianhuang Stone is now even harder to find, so the price of Tianhuang Stone has increased.
At present, the price of high-quality Tianhuang Stone in the market has been calculated by grams, and the price of some finished yellow Tianhuang Stone with good material and exquisite carving is so high that it’s surprising.
A piece of Tianhuang Stone weighing only 432 grams appeared in an art auction in Foshan and sold for more than 4 million yuan; in the Beijing Poly Auction, a Tianhuang Stone seal carved by Wu Changshuo was sold for RMB 13.8 million. ; There is also a Tianhuang Stone weighing 1725 grams auctioned for a sky-high price of 392 million.
Since 2012, the price of TianHuang Stone has shown a soaring trend, the price of each gram of TianHuang Stone on the market is between 8000 yuan and 10000 yuan, and the price of high-quality TianHuang is about 20000 yuan per gram.
Now, the best TianHuang Stone on the market will fetch a price of more than 50,000 Yuan, or it may also be sold for an even higher price. And large pieces of Tianhuang Stone seals, ornaments, etc., can no longer be sold by the gram.

Once, a piece of Tianhuang Stone which weighing only 432 grams appeared in an Art Auction in Foshan and was sold for more than 4 Million Yuan.
This chapter is scrapped from readlightnovel.org
A Tianhuang Stone seal carved by Wu Changshuo sold for 13.8 million RMB at the Beijing Poly Auction. Another piece of Tianhuang Stone weighing 1,725 grams was auctioned for 392 Million Yuan.
There are three main factors that determine the price of the Tianhuang Stone: Material, Size, and Carving.
The fractured Tianhuang in front of them is undoubtedly the best in terms of Material. Old Song and Shen Hong have never seen such a superb Tianhuang piece. The bulk is incredibly large.
The two pieces combined together weigh more than four jin, which is more than two thousand grams, which is much larger than that of the Tianhuang piece which got sold for 392 Million Yuan.
Even if it is broken into two pieces, one piece would still weigh more than 1,000 grams which are already extremely exaggerated. The carving on this Tianhuang piece is like the work of the Gods, a Dragon and a Phoenix, which almost looks lifelike.
It was as if the Dragon and the Phoenix would really fly away at any time, they have never seen such a vivid carving.
Shen Hong pounded his chest with regret: “Oh my God, who broke it. What a complete waste of natural resources!”
Old Song also had a heartache expression on his face: “It’s really a pity, but even if it is broken in two halves, any of these two pieces is still a priceless treasure. Especially the one in your hand which had a complete Dragon carving. It can be used as a complete ornament as long as we cut off the excess limelight part. Or it would also be a good choice to glue two pieces together. Mr. Su, where did you get this piece of Tianhuang, and how did it break?”
Su Jing evasively said, “The seller accidentally broke it, otherwise, I wouldn’t be willing to sell it.”
Shen Hong said, “Even if this treasure is broken, it will still fetch a sky-high price. It must have cost you a lot of money? Do you plan to sell it at auction? There is no doubt that these two pieces of Tianhuang would be enough to cause a sensation. There will be countless collectors flocking to your Auction House as long as it is put on the Auction. But the question is, are you really willing to sell it, because this kind of treasure is not something you can buy with money.”
Su Jing smiled: “I am willing to give it up.”
To be honest, Su Jing had a little bit of reluctance in his heart, but it was not too strong, he wanted to make money to produce Antimatter and upgrade the Super Universe Garbage Station, and everything else was just a floating cloud in front of him.
As long as the Garbage Station is protected than the treasures or whatever will continue to flow. On the contrary, if it is not well protected then problems will arise, or it may even cause disaster, and by then any collection would be meaningless.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
