Chapter 221: 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.

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.
