Xinjiang Great Gobi.
An endless pebble beach, countless stones scattered on the ground.
The ground had bulges from a riverbed a billion years ago, with many pebbles embedded in them, all weathered.
Nephrite Jade Seed Material was hidden among them.
But such places had been searched countless times over the century.
Now, many "Treasure Hunters" still came here with shovels in search of treasures.
Everyone was gambling on luck, wagering on the chance of striking it rich overnight.
However, the probability of digging up jade was about the same as winning the lottery, or even lower.
After all, some people always win big in the lottery, yet it had been many years since anyone had found top-quality jade here.
They could only find some pretty stones.
Many tourists were picking up stones here.
If they found a pretty one, they might use it for a bonsai or take it to a shop in town to have a bracelet made.
You just had to pay for the craftsmanship.
