Chapter 34: The Second Practitioner at the Grand Gathering

“Is this the big market?”

Lu Qing was a little surprised when he saw people coming and going in front of him.

This market was even more lively than he had imagined.

The stalls on both sides were arranged in order, exactly like the markets he had seen in some small towns in his previous life.

"Yes, this is the market." Wang Da'an nodded and pointed to the front. "Do you see those stalls? They have to be rented for a long time. Only those who specialize in making a living will rent stalls there."

When Lu Qing took a look, he saw that the stalls Wang Da'an pointed out were basically those selling meat, cloth, or grain.

Wang Daan added, "A little further back, there is an empty lot. You don't have to rent it, but if you want to sell things there, you have to pay a stall fee of one penny."

"Ah Qing, if you want to sell fish, you don't need to rent a stall, just go to the vacant lot."

"Who should we give the money to?" Lu Qing asked.

"Master Ma." Wang Da'an pointed to a place and said, "Do you see that man in green cloth? He is Master Ma, the one who is responsible for collecting the temporary stall fees here."

Lu Qing looked over and saw a thin middle-aged man in green clothes walking in the market with a smile on his face.

Similarly, he also discovered that there were several men wearing the same cloth patrolling and maintaining order at the market.

As if sensing the gazes of Lu Qing and the other two, Mr. Ma suddenly turned around with a fierce look.

Seeing that they were two young farm boys wearing ragged clothes, his expression relaxed, and he looked away as if nothing had happened and continued strolling.

Lu Qing's heart sank.

Being able to feel his and Wang Daan's gazes from such a distance, this Mr. Ma is probably not an ordinary person.

He no longer dared to stare at people directly, but just watched them out of the corner of his eye.

Soon, a strong white light was seen emerging from the body of Mr. Ma.

[Magu: Deep-minded, fair, sharp-sighted, quite respected by the people at the fair.]

[Cultivation: Strong and powerful, just entering the acquired bones and muscles realm. ]

After receiving the information from the supernatural power, Lu Qing's face did not change at all, but his heart was filled with waves.

Practitioner, this Master Ma is a practitioner!

No wonder his perception is so sharp, it turns out he is a cultivator extraordinary from ordinary people.

This is the second cultivator Lu Qing has met since he traveled to this world.

The first one is naturally Doctor Chen.

However, as a fellow cultivator, Lu Qing also noticed the difference.

The first is the supernatural light that appeared on Magu's body. It was still white light, while that of Doctor Chen was red light.

It is obvious that Doctor Chen should be more proficient in cultivation than Ma Gu.

Is the difference in realm?

Lu Qing noticed that according to the evaluation given by Yi Neng, Ma Gu's cultivation level was just entering the acquired bones and muscles realm.

What Doctor Chen was talking about at that time was the acquired internal visceral state.

Does this mean that the viscera realm is stronger than the tendons and bones realm?

Are there other realms between these two realms?

Lu Qing's mind was turning as he slowly calculated.

"How's it going, Ah Qing? You've watched the big show. Didn't you say you wanted to buy something? What did you buy?"

At this time, Wang Daan interrupted Lu Qing's thoughts.

Lu Qing put away the thought in his mind and said with a smile: "I bought a lot of things, I guess I need your help."

"You want to buy a lot of things. Ah Qing, have you made a fortune?" Wang Da'an widened his eyes.

Lu Qing smiled and didn't answer.

Wang Da'an also realized that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue here.

He stopped asking questions and patted his chest: "Don't worry, no matter how much you buy, I can help you carry it back!"

"Thank you, Brother Daan."

Lu Qing walked to the stall in front.

The first place he went to was the meat stall.

The stall sells pork, and the quality of the meat naturally does not look as good as the pork that was carefully raised in the previous life.

But in Lu Qing's eyes, it is still extremely attractive.

He hasn't eaten meat for a long time!

After picking out two large pieces of fat meat and a few pieces of half-fat and half-lean meat, Lu Qing prepared to pay the bill.

However, the stall owner looked at the change he took out with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Young Master, you are making fun of me. I don't know how I can find the money you have."

"Can't find it?" Lu Qing was stunned.

"I can't give you change. I just opened my stall today and haven't had much business yet. I'm afraid your silver is almost half a tael in weight. I don't have so many copper coins to give you change." The stall owner said honestly.

Wang Da'an was also shocked by the silver that Lu Qing took out. He quickly covered Lu Qing's hand holding the silver and pulled him aside.

"Ah Qing, where did you get the money?"

"Grandpa Chen gave it to me."

Lu Qing directly pushed the old doctor out as a shield.

Anyway, when we went down the mountain yesterday, the old doctor also told us that if anyone asked about the origin of the silver, we should say that he gave it to us.

"Dr. Chen is so kind to you."

Wang Da'an immediately showed envy on his face. Why couldn't he become the old doctor's apprentice?

But he reacted quickly.

"No, even if the old doctor gave you the silver, you shouldn't have taken it out directly. Who would come to the market to buy things with silver?"

"But I don't have any copper coins on me. I only have this piece of silver."

Of course Lu Qing knew that silver was valuable, but his family was running out of food, and he had a lot of things to buy this time.

Not to mention that there are no copper coins at home, even if there are, it is still inconvenient to carry them with you.

“…”

It seems to be the same truth.

Wang Da'an, who knew Lu Qing's family situation, scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Young Master, do you still want this meat?"

On the other side, the owner of the meat stall shouted.

It's a rare opportunity to get such a big business, he doesn't want to miss it.

"I do want it, but didn't you say you couldn't find the change?" Lu Qing said helplessly.

The butcher stall owner paused.

Now, both sides were in trouble.

"What happened?"

At this time, a gentle voice sounded.

Lu Qing turned around and saw the middle-aged man whom Wang Da'an called Master Ma standing behind them.

"Master Ma!"

The butcher's stall owner and Wang Da'an both bowed their heads and greeted him.

"Well, I just heard some noise here. Did something happen?" asked Master Ma.

"It's like this, Master Ma." The butcher spoke first, "This young man brought a piece of silver to sell his meat, and I couldn't make the change, and everyone is in a dilemma."

"oh?"

Master Ma immediately looked at Lu Qing.

Even he rarely met people who would bring money to the market to buy things.

When he saw clearly what Lu Qing was wearing, a hint of surprise appeared in Ma Ye's eyes.

Lu Qing doesn't look like someone who has money.

"Young man, where does your money come from?" asked Master Ma.

"Why, when we come to the market to buy things, do we have to explain the origin of our money?" Lu Qing asked calmly.

"That's not the case. I was rude." Master Ma bowed slightly, as if to apologize, with a smile on his face, "I'm just surprised that a young man like you doesn't seem like someone who can come up with money."

Although Mr. Ma was smiling, the meat stall owner and Wang Da'an inexplicably felt a sense of pressure, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Lu Qing also seemed to be overwhelmed by this pressure.

A nervous look appeared on his face.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "This silver was given by my master."

"Oh, I wonder who the young man's master is?" Master Ma kept smiling.

"I don't know the master's name, but everyone calls him Doctor Chen."

"What, that old doctor?"

Ma Ye's expression suddenly changed.

The temperature suddenly dropped sharply. It was really hard for children in the south to type. Their fingers were stiff.
