Leng Xiaoyao decided to start from half-cut raw jade materials, because it was more likely to find jade from them. However, they were a lot more expensive than whole raw jade materials and there might just be a thin layer of jade.
If there was only a thin layer of jade, she might lose a fortune.
The prices of half-cut raw jade materials were estimated according to the value of the possible jade inside.
For example, the first one Leng Xiaoyao saw was the size of a basketball. It was cut a little and showed green. However, nobody knew whether there was really jade inside.
If Leng Xiaoyao wanted to figure it out, she would have to pick them up one by one to observe them.
After observing the first one with her magical senses, Leng Xiaoyao didn't feel much magical power. It meant there might just be a thin layer of jade inside. It wasn't worth the price on the tag.
