Chapter 56: Purchasing a Sword
Feel the faint energy and blood power emanating from Lu Qing's body.
Magu's heart was in turmoil.
The last time he saw Lu Qing at the fair, he was just a skinny, pale-faced young man who was not good at cultivation.
How come when we met again, he had already become a warrior in the Qi and Blood Realm!
How long has it been? Less than a month, right?
In less than a month, he transformed from a young boy who had no idea how to practice martial arts into a martial artist at the Qi and Blood Realm?
How is this possible!
Ma Gu felt that his concept of cultivation had been greatly impacted.
He was shocked by Lu Qing's cultivation speed.
The last time Lu Qing came to Daji, there was no sign of martial arts training on his body.
As a warrior at the Muscle and Bone Realm, he could be sure of this.
But precisely because of this, the shock in his heart was even stronger.
He really couldn't imagine how Lu Qing managed to transform from a skinny boy into a real warrior in less than a month.
Back then, he started to formally practice martial arts at the age of thirteen.
All in all, it took him five full years before he was able to enter the Qi and Blood Realm at the age of eighteen.
And this was achieved with the support of his family.
Even with this, his cultivation speed is already considered quite good in the family.
He had also received praise from the elders of the tribe, who said that he practiced diligently and made rapid progress.
For this, Magu was once proud of it.
After all, as someone who came from a side branch, the cultivation resources he could obtain were not as many as those from the main family.
Being able to become a warrior at the age of eighteen, such a speed of training is enough to show that he is quite talented in training.
However, now, Magu discovered that the speed of cultivation that he had always been proud of in the clan was defeated in seconds by Lu Qing without leaving anything behind.
In less than a month, I went from not understanding cultivation to entering the Qi and Blood realm.
With such a speed of cultivation, even those martial arts geniuses in the city who are said to have the potential to become masters and carefully cultivated by major families are probably inferior to him.
Ma Gu was stunned by Lu Qing's change.
Lu Qing looked at his stunned expression and couldn't help feeling strange.
"Master Ma, are you okay?"
Ma Gu came back to his senses and tried to calm down. He then forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I just haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little surprised by the changes in Mr. Lu."
"Oh, recently my master and I have been cultivating our character and exercising. After a long time, I have made some progress. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Ma." Lu Qing said modestly.
But his words left Magu speechless.
If your progress is still considered a little bit, then what should we call him who has been practicing for twenty years and has just barely entered the tendons and bones realm?
But he was moved in his heart.
Yes, Lu Qing’s master is the old doctor Chen who is known as a miracle doctor.
When people heard that this old doctor was the county lord, they all praised him highly.
Such a mysterious person, perhaps the reason why Lu Qing was able to enter the Qi and Blood realm so quickly was related to him.
Although his thoughts were changing, the smile on Magu's face remained unchanged.
"Young Master Lu is too modest. To be able to achieve the Qi and Blood Realm at such a young age, your cultivation talent can be called a genius even in the city."
"Master Ma seems to know a lot about what's happening in the city?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
Lu Qing was not surprised that Magu could see that he had entered the Qi and Blood Realm.
A martial artist who has successfully practiced martial arts has surging blood and vigorous spirit.
Unless one has practiced special camouflage techniques.
Or perhaps one has reached an extremely high level of control over one's own energy and spirit, being able to completely restrain one's own breath.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for ordinary martial artists to hide their identities as martial artists.
"I can't say I know it very well, I just lived there for a few years." Magu was vague.
"I see." Lu Qing nodded.
I didn't ask, since he had lived in the city, why did he stay in a small place like Daji.
"So Master Ma has lived in the city before, so he must be very knowledgeable. It just so happens that I have something bothering me, I wonder if Master Ma can give me some advice?"
Ma Gu was cheered up. He was worrying that he had no reason to get closer to Lu Qing, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
"I wonder what's troubling Mr. Lu?"
"I want to buy a sword, but there is none at the fair. Master Ma, do you know where I can buy one?"
"You want to buy a sword?" Master Ma was stunned.
"Yes, I've been interested in knife skills lately, but I don't have a knife that suits me, so I want to buy one."
Since Magu had already seen through his identity as a warrior, Lu Qing stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Ma Gu didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Qing's idea.
In his opinion, it is normal for a warrior to want to find a weapon that suits him.
"As for the swords..." Ma Gu pondered for a moment, "Good swords should only be found in the city. In the city, there are a few shops that have a good reputation."
"Are swords only available for sale in the city?" Lu Qing asked hesitantly.
"Of course. Most skilled blacksmiths gather in cities. There are blacksmiths in the countryside, but most of them only know how to make crude farm tools. They cannot forge weapons like swords, which require extremely high forging techniques," Magu explained.
Seeing Lu Qing's hesitation, Ma Gu's heart moved.
He asked, "Why, Young Master Lu has never been to the city?"
Lu Qing exhaled, "To be honest with Master Ma, I have never been to the city, and my master once said that I am not allowed to go to the city without permission before I leave."
The old doctor didn't say such a thing, but that didn't stop Lu Qing from using his tiger skin to deal with Ma Gu.
"It is difficult to disobey the master's orders. This is a bit troublesome." Ma Gu expressed his understanding.
He saw the somewhat unwilling look on Lu Qing's face and knew that the time was almost right.
He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said, "In that case, if Mr. Lu trusts me, how about I help you buy a sword from the city?"
"Is it okay?" Lu Qing's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated again, "But this way... won't it be too much trouble for you, Master Ma?"
Looking at Lu Qing's eager and hesitant expression, Ma Gu felt a little amused.
After all, he is a young man and he doesn't hide his thoughts at all.
He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It just so happens that you and I get along well. It's just a small favor. It's no problem for me."
Lu Qing's face struggled for a while.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Ma."
Done!
Ma Gu was delighted.
He suppressed the smile on his face and asked with concern, "What kind of sword does Mr. Lu want?"
