Chapter 39: Reunion

Old Man Zhen’s words suddenly reminded everyone of the reason they were here in the first place.

The fraud had been exposed, but what’s next? What were they going to do with the Eight-Trigrams-Plate?

They came here to bid on the Dharma Artifact, and so they did. Xin Zhong had purposely jacked the offer to forty-five million yuan: it was enough to buy an entire residential community or a three-star hotel back in 2007.

However, it turned out that the Eight-Trigrams-Plate was not exactly what they were hoping for, and it was on the last leg of its shelf life. Although it contained magical power, the power was nearly depleted; in other words, this plate was just one use away from being useless.

Chen Fan said lightly: “At most, it could be used twice.”

Hearing his words, everyone heaved a sigh of disappointment.

Everyone had felt the magical effect of the Eight-Trigrams-Plate first hand, and they all agreed that this type of effect was more palatable to businessmen than Chen Fan’s combative art.

“Xin Zhong is an a.s.shole! How dare he fool us with such a piece of junk!” Third Lord of Wei slapped his thigh and complained vengefully.

Of all the people that attended the auction, he was the most determined to claim the “piece of junk.”

Although he had just celebrated his fortieth birthday, over drinking and debauchery and taken a toll on his health, by then, even the sixty year old Zhen looked healthier than him.

“It’s alright.” Chen Fan said calmly. “The Dharma Array in the Eight-Trigrams-Plate was hastily made, and its effects are mediocre at best. I can create a much better version of the Dharma Artifact.”

Everyone gaped at Chen Fan after he had dropped the bomb on them.

Boss Yan almost shouted at him. “Master Chen, Did you just say that you can make a Dharma Artifact?”

Chen Fan cracked a smile and unhitched the jade talisman from his belt and placed it on the table.

The Jade Talisman had immediately caught everyone’s attention. They knew that it was the tool that Chen Fan had used to defeat Master Wu. This was the real deal.

Guests had noticed the tiny inscriptions that sprawled over the surface of the jade gleamed with a golden l.u.s.ter. The golden glow brightened and dimmed repeatedly like waves in the ocean. It was as if the jade was alive, and the flashes of the golden glow were its pulse. When Chen Fan initiated the Spirit Gathering Array, a white mist permeated the entire courtyard and was getting thicker by the second. Slowly, those guests who were surrounded by the mist felt exhilarated as if their body was being recharged with energy.

“This jade talisman was made from one of Boss Wei’s collection. I spent a few days to refine it into its current state.”

Chen Fan spoke.

Everyone was deeply shocked by what they have heard. They looked toward the Third Lord of Wei and were perplexed as to why this idiot would let such a treasure go. More importantly, where did he get it from?

Uncle Lin stepped in and explained in detail what had happened at the auction.
