Du Desheng suppressed the corners of his mouth from curling upward, gave a light cough, and said, "In that case, help me finish extracting the rest so we can see if this thing is actually worth anything."
Since Du Desheng had spoken, Master Qi didn't say another word and continued to dismantle the stone in his hands. However, he was much more cautious than before; he dared not use the grinding wheel to make deep, aggressive cuts, but instead ground away bit by bit along the edge of the green.
This process was undoubtedly time-consuming and laborious, especially since, as Du Anrao had predicted earlier, this piece of raw stone was much larger than the one extracted at the auction house. It took Master Qi over two hours to fully extract the raw material inside.
