47: Chapter 47 The Value of Magical Artifacts
"This..."
Sheng Wenguang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is possible, but I cannot take you into the core of the Underground Fighting Arena."
Hearing this, Shen Wangshu smiled, "That is enough."
Three days later.
Uncle Lin drove to the entrance of Jinling University. This time, he wasn't driving a luxury car, but a Passat, which was relatively ordinary for the wealthy elite.
The price of a Passat might not be cheap for an ordinary person, but in a city, it really couldn't attract any attention.
"Mr. Qin."
Ever since the Martial Technique Auction, Uncle Lin had held Qin Chuan in extremely high regard and respect. "The Young Miss arranged for me to drive you there. She knows you are a low-key person, so I brought this car."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly. In his eyes, the so-called showing off on Earth was really quite childish.
After getting into the car, the Passat left Jinling University.
"Uncle Lin, didn't you return to the capital?" Qin Chuan asked from the back seat, somewhat puzzled.
Uncle Lin replied, "Mr. Qin, the Young Miss originally wanted to arrange for someone else to drive you there, but I took on this task. After I drop you off, I will return to the capital."
Subsequently, he explained, "Since the Young Miss didn't know whether you wanted to compete for this Magical Artifact or just watch the excitement, the Young Miss arranged for you to pose as a wealthy young master who wants to place a bet."
A wealthy young master?
Qin Chuan had no objection to this identity. He was indeed quite interested in the Magical Artifact being used as a bet. If possible, snatching it away wasn't out of the question.
Whether the Magical Artifact is powerful or not isn't important; what's important is that its foundation cannot be too poor. Otherwise, even if he refined it himself, it would be useless.
The reason Qin Chuan was interested in Elder Yinshan's bone was that in a place like Earth, where resources to Cultivate are extremely scarce, finding a bone with a decent foundation to refine into a Magical Artifact is already quite rare.
"Uncle Lin, do you know who put the Magical Artifact up as a bet?" Qin Chuan really wanted to know who had so much money to burn.
"It seems to be a wealthy overseas businessman. He isn't very interested in the Magical Artifact; he just wants to use it to amass wealth." Uncle Lin didn't seem to know much about it either.
"However, because this Magical Artifact is being used as a bet, it is said that at least a hundred Martial Artists have come to participate in the Underground Fighting Arena this time, and it is very likely that there are even Super Grandmasters among them."
He originally intended to remind Qin Chuan to be careful, but then he thought about it—this man had easily defeated Elder Yinshan. Without any surprises, in the competition at this Underground Fighting Arena, there probably weren't many people who could be a match for Qin Chuan.
If Qin Chuan was willing, he would likely be able to get his hands on the Magical Artifact.
The location of the Underground Fighting Arena was in a county city named Hegu under Jinling City.
This county was quite prosperous, but it was exceptionally lively today. There certainly wouldn't be this many people on a normal day, but today, the traffic coming and going was immense, and there were even quite a few vehicles from other regions.
The local ordinary people thought something big was happening. Only those who had stepped into the path of martial arts, or wealthy businessmen whose assets had reached a certain level, knew that there was a boxing match today.
It wasn't just Martial Artists who came to participate in this Underground Fighting Arena; there were also wealthy businessmen.
Uncle Lin said, "That overseas businessman is out to amass wealth, so I'm afraid there will be quite a few wealthy people coming here to place bets this time."
Qin Chuan was not surprised. He wasn't sure if Martial Artists had money, but if the wealthy didn't come to place bets, then for the overseas businessman, the effect of amassing wealth wouldn't be that good.
Moreover, the Martial Artists who came to participate basically didn't place bets; their goal was to compete for the Magical Artifact.
"Uncle Lin, if a Magical Artifact were taken to an auction, what would be the market price?" Qin Chuan wasn't very clear about the prices of Magical Artifacts on Earth.
Uncle Lin pondered for a moment and said, "If it were that Magical Artifact of Elder Yinshan's, although it doesn't count for much in Mr. Qin's eyes, if it were really taken out for auction, it could fetch at least 80 million or more!"
"Other slightly more ordinary Magical Artifacts can also fetch in the tens of millions."
Tens of millions is not a small sum, which also illustrates the rarity of Magical Artifacts. Moreover, starting from 80 million, it might even auction for over 100 million in the end.
"There was once an auction that featured a Magical Artifact. The market price of that Magical Artifact should have been around 50 million, but it ended up being auctioned for 120 million." Uncle Lin added.
Many wealthy people might have assets in the tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, but that doesn't represent cash. For some wealthy people, being able to bring out tens of millions in cash is already quite good, let alone bringing out over 100 million to bid on a Magical Artifact.
During the idle chat, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
"Mr. Qin, this hotel isn't too Advanced, but it is the best in this county. The specific location of the Underground Fighting Arena is on the basement level next to the hotel. I have already arranged your identity. When the arena starts, someone will take you there. The time is 8:00 PM." Uncle Lin explained everything that had been arranged.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Qin Chuan smiled and thanked him.
"Mr. Qin, this is what I should do."
Uncle Lin's attitude remained incomparably respectful: "In the future, if you come to the capital, please let me know immediately."
"Alright."
Not long after, Uncle Lin left.
Qin Chuan entered the hotel and was just planning to go rest when he saw a familiar figure.
Shen Wangshu!
He was stunned for a moment, then glanced around and saw a few more familiar figures.
They were Su Yingxia, Yang Siyi, and Wu Rong.
Did they come to participate in the Underground Fighting Arena?
Qin Chuan didn't pay any attention to them, acting as if he hadn't seen them, and went on his way to rest.
"Qin Chuan?"
As it turned out, Yang Siyi had sharp eyes; as soon as she saw Qin Chuan, she exclaimed.
Because she had absolutely not expected to meet Qin Chuan in Hegu County.
Immediately afterward, the gazes of Shen Wangshu and Wu Rong both looked over in unison, each of them wearing an expression of surprise.
Shen Wangshu had been brought by Sheng Wenguang. When they arrived, they had run into Su Yingxia, Yang Siyi, and Wu Rong; they hadn't come together.
It went without saying that Yang Siyi and Su Yingxia had been brought by Wu Rong for fun; Wu Rong also wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Shen Wangshu.
It was just that upon meeting in Hegu County, they then saw Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan!"
Su Yingxia was the first to rush up, a joyful smile on her beautiful Face.
"Why are you here?" She was very surprised.
"Just came to hang out," Qin Chuan said casually.
"Qin Chuan, then do you want to join us?" Su Yingxia invited him proactively.
"Alright." Qin Chuan agreed quite readily.
Then Su Yingxia went over to greet him alone, and the two of them returned.
Wu Rong's expression was extremely unpleasant, but due to Face, he couldn't say much.
"Qin Chuan, what are you doing here?" Shen Wangshu asked in a somewhat questioning tone. In her view, Qin Chuan shouldn't have appeared here; this wasn't a place where Qin Chuan should be.
