Chapter 221: Obtained the Jade Token_1

While others feared the resentment on the Jade Token, Xu Fan did not, on the contrary, he found himself a little excited looking at the Spirit Jade.

After dispelling the resentful spirits from the Spirit Jade, it would become the purest of Spiritual Energy again. For others, this task would be extremely difficult without destroying the Jade Token outright—as doing so was the only way to dispel the resentment clinging to the token.

But Xu Fan was different. All he needed to do was to subdue the insignificant resentful spirit with his powerful Divine Sense. For a lowly spirit from Blue Star facing the mighty Five Directions Great Emperor of the cosmos, it was like an ant facing the blazing sun—there would be no obstacle whatsoever.

Seeing that almost no one in the hall was bidding, Xu Fan calmly took a seat beside the bidding device and pressed it, making his first offer since he entered the auction.

“Bid from booth number 8, five million for the first time. Does anyone else want to bid?” Wang Fangtong, seeing the first bid coming from booth number 8, took the microphone and called out to the people below.

The crowd was slightly shocked to hear someone actually bidding on this ominous Jade Token.

“What’s with booth number 8, daring to bid on such a haunted Jade Token? Aren’t they afraid of being possessed by resentful spirits?”

“Haha, probably some greenhorn who doesn’t fear tigers, thinking they are invincible. When they truly face something evil, I bet they’ll be even less capable than the two who went up earlier!”

“Could it be that the person in booth number 8 has some special ability to subdue the resentful spirit within the Jade Token?”

“Cut it out, do you think they’re some Maoshan Taoist?”

Wang Fangtong ignored the noisy crowd below and quietly focused on booth number 8.

The invitation to booth number 8 was given to Xu Fan by him. This young man possessed an even stronger sense in discerning jade than himself. Surely he could sense the resentment within the jade. Since Xu Fan dared to bid on the Jade Token, it indicated he might have a way to dispel the resentful spirit from it.

At this thought, Wang Fangtong felt a sudden impulse to help Xu Fan win the bid for the Jade Token. Although he could sense its resentment, he had no way of dispelling it. He was actually eager to see how Xu Fan would transform such an evil object into something harmless.

The material of the jade was such that even Wang Fangtong had to admit it was a rare and fine jade not seen in a hundred years, but only in Xu Fan’s hands could it be brought back to light.

So, without hesitation, Wang Fangtong struck while the iron was hot and said, “Prince Nan Chen’s Jade Token, five million for the first time!”

This time, Wang Fangtong did not use provoking words and after a two-second pause, he continued, “Prince Nan Chen’s Jade Token, five million for the second time!”

The crowd below, thinking that he had finally found a buyer who did not fear death and wanted to quickly get rid of the Jade Token, had no doubts about Wang Fangtong’s hurried call and let him continue.

“Prince Nan Chen’s Jade Token, five million for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in booth number 8 on acquiring the Jade Token!” Wang Fangtong waved towards booth number 8, revealing a meaningful smile.

Staring at the monitor, Xu Fan also saw Wang Fangtong’s smile and understood his intentions, and he smiled slowly in return.

Elder Wang was indeed trustworthy, not only had he provided an opportunity for me to participate in the auction, but he also made sure that I smoothly acquired this Jade Token, which others saw as an ominous object, but to me, it was a treasure.

Xu Fan silently noted Elder Wang’s kindness.

Before long, a knocking sound echoed, dong dong dong, as a beauty in a qipao, holding a brocaded box with the Jade Token, approached the door of private room number eight, where Xu Fan was.

Xu Fan gave a signal with his eyes, and Zhao Dong obediently walked to the door and swiftly opened it.

“Sir, this is the treasure you have won in the auction, here’s the auction contract. Please sign the contract, transfer the funds into the account, and then you will be the owner of this treasure,” said the qipao-clad beauty as she slowly walked into the private room, her smile enchanting, as she sweetly spoke to Xu Fan.

“Zhao Dong, transfer the money!” Xu Fan gestured with a toss of his head to Zhao Dong, and then picked up the document handed over by the qipao beauty, rapidly signing his name.

Xu Fan’s signature was vigorous and bold, piercing through the paper, yet holding a very majestic beauty.

The qipao beauty looked at Xu Fan curiously. They say one’s handwriting reflects their person, and just by this calligraphy, Xu Fan had caused a peculiar light to appear in the beauty’s eyes.

Being young and already possessing the strength to enter a private room, even though many in the main hall were also billionaires, to be in a private room likely meant having a net worth in the tens of billions.

Moreover, Xu Fan was also young and handsome. An excellent man with such impressive calligraphy. All these qualities combined made the qipao beauty feel a sense of closeness, and her tempting figure, unconsciously, leaned a little closer to Xu Fan.

However, Xu Fan didn’t feel anything for her advances. After signing his name onto the contract, he glanced through it rapidly and then handed it back to the qipao beauty.

Not long after Xu Fan handed over the contract, Zhao Dong quickly transferred the money to the auction organizer’s account. The qipao beauty, wearing a headset, heard the notification of payment from the finance department and deeply bowed to Xu Fan, saying, “Thank you, sir. Your payment for the auction has been received. You are now the owner of this Jade Token.”

The beauty had a very good figure, and as she bowed, a vast expanse of snowy white skin slipped out of the gap in her qipao.

Xu Fan, without a sideways glance, reached out and took the sandalwood box from the hands of the qipao beauty.

The white Jade Token, under the private room’s lighting, seemed to emit a faint, moving luminescence.

“Young master, this Jade Token is said to be haunted. You must not touch it. Just now, two people downstairs touched it and were nearly scared out of their wits!” Zhao Dong cautioned Xu Fan as he looked at the Jade Token in Xu Fan’s hand, somewhat apprehensively.

The qipao beauty also earnestly advised Xu Fan, “Sir, this Jade Token indeed seems to be a bit ominous. I hope you do not touch it with your hands to avoid any accidents to your person.”

Xu Fan just smiled faintly, disregarding both their cautions, and reached out to pick up the Jade Token from the sandalwood box, holding it in his hand and carefully examining it.

“Eh? Young master, you don’t have any problems?” Zhao Dong looked at Xu Fan with a bit of surprise. Xu Fan, now holding the Jade Token, was as normal as could be, without any oddity.
