After entering the county town from the west gate, She Wu was picked up by his cousin.

Walking alone on the road, Zhou Qing felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Wide streets, flat bluestone pavement, neatly planned houses and shops.

At a glance, you can see that Ping'an County is much more prosperous than Heishan Town.

At dawn, an old woman in linen clothes was sweeping the street. After walking a few steps, I saw special personnel driving along the street to collect swill and garbage.

This is completely unheard of in Heishan Town.

Most people don't have enough food to eat, so how could there be food that can't be eaten and thrown away.

Xin'an Lane where Zhou Qing lives is still muddy. It becomes slippery and muddy when it rains. Walking all the way, even the trouser legs will be covered with mud.

Some families will dump garbage directly in the alley behind the house, and some children will find an alley to pee and poop everywhere.

"Cooked cakes, selling cooked cakes!"

"Wearing leather boots! Wearing leather boots, you won't be charged if you don't do it well!"

"Freshly baked hundred flower cakes, 20 cents each, while stocks last!"

"Secret bamboo leaf wine, 3 cents a bowl."

Zhou Qing walked towards the inner city. Before dawn, the streets quickly became lively, with vendors carrying loads hawking their wares along the street.

The shop assistants also got up early and shouted hard.

At this time, a few drunken young men came out of a brightly lit luxurious restaurant next door, supported by a waiter.

Looking at the red marks on their faces and their shabby steps, you can tell what kind of place this 'Chunjiang Tower' is.

After crossing the wide main road, a narrow alley in the east suddenly turned into a gravel road. Several beggars curled up in the corner and slept soundly, and the people passing by were all ragged and pale-faced.

"Sure enough, behind the prosperity is the reality."

Relying on his strong eyesight, Zhou Qing's eyes passed through the narrow alleys, and a poor and dilapidated living area came into view.

The prosperity of the county town belongs to the rich, not the poor.

"I remember that Zhao's auction house is in Yong'anfang in the inner city."

Zhou Qing walked towards the east.

Before coming, he asked Lin Qiu about the situation of the county town.

Compared with the slightly messy Heishan Town, Ping'an County had a complete plan before the city was built.

Two vertical and two horizontal, four main roads, divided the county town into nine areas, and the market was distributed in the shape of a "well".

The "mouth" in the middle of the "well" is the inner city of the county town.

However, this "mouth" is larger than the eight markets in the outer city combined.

The poor, the well-fed families, and the slightly wealthy families live in the outer city.

And the wealthy families are all in the inner city.

If you want to settle down in the inner city, the easiest way is to practice martial arts and become a servant or retainer of the wealthy families.

The entire Ping'an County, together with the nearby villages, towns, earthen forts, and fortresses, has a population of more than 300,000, far more than Heishan Town can compare to.

Although they are in the same county, there are three-meter-high walls between the inner city and the outer city.

When passing through the gate of the inner city, Zhou Qing took off his outer linen clothes and showed the Baiyun martial arts training clothes he was wearing inside. The guards didn't say much and let him go directly.

"Living in the inner city, the safety level is really high."

After Zhou Qing entered the inner city, he could see officials with swords patrolling on every main road.

On the clean and tidy road, there was not even a shadow of a beggar.

The Zhao family in Heishan Town is a branch of the Zhao family in Ping'an County.

At this time, after asking passers-by, Zhou Qing came to the high-rise building where the Zhao family business was located.

It is called a building, but it is actually a six-story pagoda-shaped building.

"Hey, brother."

Just as Zhou Qing was about to enter the business, a mask vendor next to him shouted at him.

"Call me?" Zhou Qing was stunned and walked up.

"Young man, you look handsome, handsome, could you be a warrior? Come to participate in the auction of Zhao's Trading Company?

The auction will be held in three days. In the past few days, many outsiders have entered the city. These people are mixed, and there are all kinds of people.

For safety reasons, why don't you buy a mask to cover your face. In case someone bullies you because you are young and has bad intentions towards you?

Recently, there are many people who buy masks from me. If you don't buy now, I will raise the price in two days."

The vendor said with a smile.

"That makes sense. How much is a mask?" Zhou Qing nodded.

He knew that the auction would be held in three days, so he came here today just to ask about the specific process.

Before entering, he planned to put on some beard, change his clothes and hairstyle.

Since there are masks for sale, it can save some trouble.

"Six coins for one, ten coins for two." The vendor responded.

"I'll buy two." Zhou Qing took out ten copper coins from his purse.

There was only one monkey mask and one bull head mask on the stall, which were just right for changing.

"Thank you for your patronage, come again next time."

The vendor's face was full of smiles.

Zhou Qing looked at the mask in his hand, paused, and put it into the cloth bag.

Then, he entered the lobby on the first floor and asked the waiter.

The auction will be held in the afternoon of three days later. If you want to consign the auction, you only need to arrive before noon.

In addition, if you want to participate in the auction, you need to pay an entrance fee of five taels of silver. Of course, warriors can enter without paying.

After Zhou Qing found out, he left the inner city and found a cheap inn in the outer city to stay.

In the evening, he spent again, took out the only one tael of silver he had left, and bought a lake-blue silk shirt worth nine coins.

The next day, Zhou Qing put on the lake blue silk shirt under the linen clothes, left the county seat, and went straight to Wang's Pharmacy five miles east of the city.

He took off his outer linen clothes in the forest, spread his hair behind him, then put on the minotaur mask and walked towards the gate of the medicine store.

Zhou Qing reported Wei Hongyu's name, and someone immediately respectfully invited him into the village to serve tea.

"It seems that the name of Senior Sister is more effective than I thought." Zhou Qing thought to himself, the inner armor was indeed delivered correctly.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a fair face and a mustache entered the living room.

Seeing Zhou Qing wearing a silk shirt with disheveled hair and a mask, he was slightly startled, and then returned to normal.

"I, Wang Hao, am the owner of the medicine village. I wonder what I call you young hero?"

Wang Hao cupped his fists and saluted.

"My name is Zhang Chaoxian, from Baiyun Martial Arts School." Zhou Qing stood up and returned the salute.

"Senior Sister said that you have a wide variety of medicinal materials at reasonable prices and recommended me to come here."

As he spoke, he took out a half-folded prescription from his pocket and put it in front of Wang Hao.

"It is indeed the handwriting of Master Wei. Purple monkey fruit, jade leaf flower, and salvia are all available in the medicine store."

Wang Hao pondered and said that for him, no matter who introduced him, the focus was on doing business. At most, he would give face and earn less.

"Since it was introduced by Martial Master Wei, how about we make friends and give him three taels of silver each?"

"Okay." Zhou Qing nodded. The price was a little cheaper than he expected. The price of one serving was more than three coins cheaper than buying it in town.

"Master Wang, let's see how much this is worth."

Zhou Qing took out Tai Sui meat wrapped in a boxing glove from the package behind him, which was about the size of a fist.

When the piece of meat was in his hand, the folds on it were still trembling slightly.

"This is..." Wang Hao looked at the piece of meat in front of him, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Could it be Ganoderma lucidum?!"

Wang Hao wanted to reach out and touch him, but Zhou Qing avoided it.

"This piece of Tai Sui meat contains extremely poisonous substances. It would be better for Master Wang not to touch it easily."

"It doesn't matter. Although I am mediocre in talent, I still have some skills." Wang Hao smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to grab the Tai Sui meat.

His right hand suddenly swelled twice in mid-air and turned red.

"Refining meat?" Zhou Qing felt Wang Hao's surging energy and blood, and roughly judged his state. He should have reached perfection in refining meat.

Bah!

After Wang Hao's hand touched the Tai Sui meat, white smoke immediately rose from his palm, and the muscles in his forehead twitched slightly.

"Master Wang, give it to me." Zhou Qing saw cold sweat starting to form on his head and stretched out his hand to take the Tai Sui meat.

"I took care of you." Wang Hao looked at the dark palm, and immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, swallowed the powder inside, and the toxins spread in the palm were gradually eliminated.

At this time, Zhou Qingyun's calm demeanor made Wang Hao secretly frightened.

"Zhang Shaoxia, although the Tai Sui meat is still alive, most of it has been lost, and its potency has been greatly reduced. I wonder if the Tai Sui meat is intact?" Wang Hao asked.

"I came across this Tai Sui plant by chance. I was too hasty and cut off only one-third of it. Here is only one-sixth. I plan to keep the remaining part until Master Wei's birthday and give it as a gift. ”

Zhou Qing said calmly, pulling out the tiger skin of Wei Sheng, a great martial artist.

After Wang Hao heard this, he stopped asking further questions.

The black widow Wei Hongyu is not easy to mess with, and the poisonous demon Wei Sheng is even harder to mess with.

"In that case, I'll pay you one hundred taels for this piece of Tai Sui meat." Wang Hao said in a deep voice.

One hundred taels!

Although he had expectations about the value of Tai Sui meat, Zhou Qing was still shocked by the price given by Wang Hao.

"One hundred and twenty taels!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth when he saw Zhou Qing sitting upright and not responding, and couldn't see clearly the expression under his mask.

"If the whole plant is poisonous, it can be sold for three thousand taels, which is not an exaggeration.

Unfortunately, if you want to cultivate and grow this little Tai Sui meat, it will take several years or even ten years.

One hundred and twenty taels is already a very fair price. "
