Chương 1126: CHAPTER 955 A SHOCKING CABBAGE
The surroundings were still filled with the eerie presence of jade-clad corpses and most people seemed unwilling to leave the area. It was as if they were transfixed by the bizarre scene that had unfolded before their very eyes.
"Oh My God, what is this?" Suddenly, a piercing cry shattered the uneasy silence, reverberating through the air with deafening intensity.
The man who had made the sound realized that he had lost his composure and quickly brought his hand to cover his mouth, hoping to suppress any sound that might escape.
The cry came to an abrupt halt, but not before it had already caused quite a stir amongst the onlookers. Many people turned their heads toward the direction of the sound, their faces contorted with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
"Huh?" Boss Wu's attention was suddenly drawn to a distance where he heard the scream. He squinted his eyes to see what was happening, but the image was unclear, prompting him to take brisk steps to get a closer look.
He arrived at a glass tank, peered inside, and was astonished by the sight of a massive object that left him rooted to the spot and it was as if he had been turned to stone.
"What's the matter?" Noticing Boss Wu's reaction, Old Xie rushed over to investigate. As he approached the glass jar, his eyes widened with disbelief, and his mouth hung agape in shock. "This can't be… Oh My God."
The thing in the glass container appeared to be a colossal cabbage, standing at a height of about three or four meters.
However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that the cabbage was carved entirely from jade, giving it an incredibly lifelike appearance. The intricate details of the vegetable were so realistic that it seemed as if the Gods themselves had crafted it.
The jade's naturally white and green hues only added to its mesmerizing beauty, leaving the onlookers utterly spellbound.
Old Xie was visibly overwhelmed by the sight of the jade cabbage as he was unable to contain his amazement. "This is unbelievable! The details are so intricate, and it's enormous!" He exclaimed, his heart racing.
The jade cabbage is a unique form of jade carving, where artisans carve a cabbage out of half-white and half-green jade, utilizing the natural color distribution of the jade to create a strikingly realistic and vivid representation of the vegetable.
When speaking of jade cabbage, it's worth mentioning two particularly famous pieces.
The first is a cultural relic from the Qing Dynasty, measuring 18.7 cm in length, 9.1 cm in width, and 5.07 cm in thickness. This work of art is exceptionally lifelike, closely resembling an actual cabbage, complete with emerald green leaves. Additionally, two insects, a katydid, and a locust are also carved onto the vegetable's leaves, symbolizing prosperity and many descendants.
The second famous jade cabbage is the 3-ton emerald cabbage that was showcased at the Kunming International Jewelry Exhibition in 2012. This enormous piece of art measures 1.8 meters in length, weighs 3 tons and took three years to complete. It was sold for a whopping 480 million RMB.
However, while its size is impressive, its texture and appearance are not as refined as the former piece.
The green jade cabbage in front of them has a better texture and a more lifelike taste than the former, but its size is several times larger than the latter. No wonder Boss Wu and Old Xie were shocked.
As Boss Wu and Old Xie examined the jade cabbage, they couldn't help but marvel at its incredible texture and a lifelike appearance.
"It's not only lifelike and huge in size, Old Xie, take a closer look at the texture," Boss Wu exclaimed as he pointed to the green part of the cabbage.
"Huh?" Old Xie leaned in for a closer look and his eyes widened in disbelief. "My God! This is actually a glass species! And the green part is actually Green Emperor! This is insane, it's impossible!"
While jade comes in varying qualities and prices, the most precious is the glass species, named for its transparent, glass-like appearance and fine, dense crystalline particles. Within the glass species, the Green Emperor is the most valuable due to its stunning green color.
The Green Emperor glass species is incredibly rare, making it a highly sought-after commodity. A top-quality Green Emperor glass species bracelet can sell for tens of millions, and a similarly high-quality jade bead chain can fetch just as much.
The sight of the massive glass species Green Emperor cabbage was overwhelming. It stood three to four meters tall, towering over everyone who gathered around it. Its size alone was enough to make one wonder about the amount of valuable material it contained.
Even if it was not a lifelike cabbage that was carved out of seven parts and three parts, but a piece of wool, the value would still be tremendous. One could only imagine the countless bracelets and bead chains that could be made from it.
Despite its immense value, no one would be willing to carve such a magnificent and rare piece of jade into other ornaments. It would be a reckless waste of natural resources.
"Oh my god, this can't be jade cabbage, can it?" Ye Bo quickly walked over and asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"This… isn't this too big?" Zhou Xixian followed quickly as asked with the same shocked expression on his face.
"My God." Alan almost ran someone over in his hurry.
"At first glance, I thought it was a huge cabbage, but when I got closer, I realized it was jade. This is way beyond just amazing." Anna exclaimed.
"This cabbage is amazing." Even the fashionable young man wearing earrings couldn't help but be in awe of the beauty before him. He couldn't help but ask Brother Chen, "Is this cabbage really amazing? Could it be another top treasure? How much is it worth?"
But to his disappointment, Brother Chen didn't respond. Turning his head, he saw the gentle young man standing motionless, staring at the jade cabbage in a state of shock and awe. It looked as if he was captivated by its beauty and was unable to break away from its spell.
The fashionable young man could understand why Brother Chen was like this as he was also still awestruck by the sight of the jade cabbage in front of him.
But he still couldn't help but call out to the well-mannered young man once more. "Brother Chen, please tell me, how much is this incredible piece worth?"
"How much is it worth?" The well-mannered young man smiled nervously, almost as if he was hesitant to answer. "You really think highly of me, my friend. Let me tell you, not only me but jewelry appraisers all over the world can't give an estimate of this emerald jade cabbage's value. Whether it's sold as a whole or in pieces, they are all priceless treasures."
