Reborn As Super Heiress

In the afternoon, having made new discoveries, Huo Sining wasn’t in a hurry and spent most of the day wandering around the Mingliao area.

Due to the generally high price of raw materials at the Myanmar public market, Huo Sining was very selective when choosing materials. She rarely made purchases on raw materials with good appearances but low cost-effectiveness.

Her target was mostly raw materials that appeared plain on the outside but contained High Jade within. Due to being overlooked, their prices were relatively much cheaper.

However, such raw materials are not plentiful, and finding a bargain is not easy. By the time the public market trading center closed at five, Huo Sining had looked at more than half of the materials in the Mingliao area, but she had only purchased about twenty pieces.

Fortunately, although the materials weren’t plentiful, they were all good quality; the worst among them was High Ice Type Jadeite, which was a significant gain.

With a good mood, Huo Sining entrusted all the raw materials to Kuba for processing. After leaving the trading center, they had dinner at a nearby Chinese restaurant, preparing to wander around the street.

By this time, it was already past seven in the evening, and the sky had turned dark.

The city of Yangon is not like those in Huaxia Country, where even in the late night, the neon lights flicker. But here in Yangon, by nine in the evening, the streets generally shut down and everything closes, so as Huo Sining and her group walked around, they noticed that many shops were already closing up, and even the malls were closed.

”The people here are so strange, closing up this early. Aren’t they interested in doing business?”

Su Qingqing, somewhat frustrated, complained unhappily.

Huo Sining found it quite amusing. Myanmar’s political situation is unstable, and nighttime security is surely not good, so the people of Myanmar have developed the ”good habit” of closing early.

Each country has its unique customs and traditions, which aren’t developed overnight. Myanmar folks have lived through chaotic times, leading them to be cautious and constantly alert.

Since there wasn’t much to see, the group prepared to head back home.

Just at this moment, as they turned into an alley, they noticed a Myanmar farmer carrying two baskets of stones walking into the alley.

Raw materials?

In the dim light of the street corner, Huo Sining saw the stones in the baskets carried by the Myanmar farmer and couldn’t help but stop, subconsciously calling out:

”Mister up ahead, could you please wait a moment!”

The Myanmar farmer seemed not to realize Huo Sining was calling him at first, only stopping and turning around with a puzzled look after she called out a second time.

Seeing the farmer’s puzzled expression, Huo Sining realized that he probably didn’t understand Chinese.

Feeling slightly helpless, she awkwardly pointed at the raw materials in his baskets, signaling her interest in looking at them.

Despite the language barrier, the farmer quickly understood Huo Sining’s gesture.

He smiled, placed the two baskets along the edge of the alley, and gestured for Huo Sining to take a look freely.

Huo Sining eagerly approached, untying the ropes on the baskets and reaching for the raw materials.

Water jade?!

Upon touching the materials, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes gleamed with excitement.

Jadeite raw materials, like Hetian Jade, have Mountain and Water classifications. Mountain materials are mined from mountain veins, while water materials are extracted from riverbeds.

In mining operations, when digging deep, underground water often floods the pits, and raw materials soaked in this groundwater are commonly referred to as water jade.

In fact, Jadeite raw materials are generally Mountain materials, primarily excavated from mining sites, with few people able to locate raw materials in rivers.

The indistinct boundaries between these two classifications often leave people confused about which can truly be deemed water jade, hence they are usually not thoroughly subdivided.

Strictly speaking, true water jade should be materials retrieved from riverbed mud and sand, significantly differing from mountain materials.

Mountain materials lose their stone skin during excavation, unlike the thick layer found on water jade;

Water jade, submerged in water, acquires layers of sand and mud over time, adding thickness to the original stone skin.

Due to long-term water flow, water jade’s surface becomes more rounded and smoother compared to mountain materials, with generally fewer sharp corners.

Seeing the five or six pieces of water jade in the baskets, Huo Sining’s face displayed excitement.

She gently touched the materials in one basket, activating the Heavenly Eye, revealing a sense of water-laden beauty.

Indeed, they are water jade!

Although these raw materials are not large, they are definitely quality materials from old sites.

The first piece contained no jadeite, but Huo Sining couldn’t help admiring it.

Water jade proves to be more valuable than mountain materials; even without jadeite, materials soaked in water are rich in water content. If jadeite is found, with this water content, it would be top-tier quality!

Still, after inspecting several pieces, only robust water content appeared, with no jadeite.

This left Huo Sining feeling rather disappointed. Had she overly anticipated the value of water jade?

In contemplation, she slowly reached out to the last piece of raw material.

This piece was about ten or so kilograms, the typical size for water jade.

Since extracted from water, typical pieces are mere kilograms, as without large-scale mechanical help, hundred kilogram pieces are beyond manual retrieval.

The materials from the farmer were likely hand-picked from the riverbank, so Huo Sining wasn’t expecting substantial sizes.

Soon, the mystery of this small piece peeled away, revealing its alluring fresh interior to Huo Sining.

Upon seeing the interior, Huo Sining’s eyes widened.

She stood dumbfounded, momentarily unable to find words to describe what she saw.

It was a flawless piece of jadeite, its high transparency due to prolonged water immersion, resembling pure crystal.

No, it was even more transparent than crystal—a genuine Little Colorless Glass Type, purer than what Huo Sining had gambled on previously at the Ruili Public Market!

Yet this purity wasn’t what surprised Huo Sining the most; it was the center of this jadeite that astonished her.
