Chapter 4: The Elves
The starlight illuminated the night like day, a grass-like fragrance slowly drifted away, the starlight receded, and an old man in a white cloth shirt appeared in the middle of the banquet hall, showing a white eye-catcher, and the black-brown crutch in his hand was even more eye-catching.
"Isn't this an elf? ”
"I really didn't expect the elves to come here, hurry up and prepare to taste the secret fragrance of the elves. ”
"The smell of the grass just now made my body light all of a sudden, and the dense fragrance of the elves is indeed a treasure. ”
...
There were constant voices of exclamation in the crowd, the third young master of the palace family turned back into a prodigy, the six princesses were divorced on the spot, and even the elves appeared in the palace family, and everyone said that the palace family was going to be lucky.
The elves are the first race to appear on the Qinan continent, and they are also the first to use incense for cultivation and medicine, they never conflict with humans, and even help humans fight against monsters, and the elven secret incense is a high-level item in the incense road, ordinary people can use the elf secret incense to cultivate the practice can have more than ten times the increase, even the incense king can only compare one or two.
"I was picking medicine outside the city, and suddenly smelled the smell of my elf lily incense, but the smell was too bad, I couldn't help but be curious and came to take a look, I didn't expect to smell the ambergris made of mixed incense outside the door, the incense-making method of the elf clan has never been passed on, I want to know which one used the mixed incense, and my old man has also seen it. ”
Elven people live a long lifespan, almost immortal, but they are by no means immortal. The person in front of him looks very old, then his age is at least two hundred years old, and the incense path that can be recognized by the elves is definitely a good thing.
"Since you are a member of the elf clan, why don't you salute me when you see me, I am the sixth princess of the palace, the lily incense you said was burned by me, what is the value of a little mixed incense, are you so rude that I am not afraid that I will go back and tell my father?"
The six princesses are really angry today, although the elves pay tribute to the palace every year, but the implication is that the two clans are friendly, and there is no so-called distinction between monarchs and ministers, if there is no elf clan, there is no today's Qi Nan country, the emperor saw that the elves have to give three points, the six princesses actually let the elves salute her, the nobles present looked at the six princesses incredulously, I don't know whether to dissuade or follow her temperament.
"A princess dares to talk to me like this, there is no politeness at all, and you waste our elves' incense casually, I don't think you need to send anything to the palace this year. ”
After speaking, the elven old man turned his head and said to Gong Hanping, who was watching the excitement on the side,
"Did you make that incense mixture?" Did anyone teach you how to mix incense?"
Gong Hanping replied to the other party very politely and respectfully, because he could know the status of the elves from memory.
"Sir, I really made the mixed ambergris just now, and not only that, but I also know how to make the lily, and if there is any offense, please forgive me. ”
Gong Hanping's words and demeanor were very appropriate, but the sixth princess was the opposite, and couldn't help but make the nobles have different views on today's affairs.
"If no one teaches you how to make mixed incense, then you should be the prodigy you were at the beginning, right?"
The elf clan attaches great importance to the original auspicious fortune from the sky, because the fragrance of that day has made the cultivation of the entire elf clan take a step forward, so the elf patriarch once issued an order to the clan "If you meet a prodigy, you must treat each other solemnly", but later Gong Hanping lost his identity as a prodigy, and the elf clan has never found him.
"This elder, I am Gong Hanping's father, Xiao'er is indeed the prodigy in the past, but there were some things hidden in the past, I didn't expect Xiao Lu to let you come in person today, my palace family is really full of brilliance!"
Everyone present could see that the palace master wanted to win over the elf clan, and if it succeeded, then the palace family could stand side by side with the palace, to put it bluntly, he wanted to gain a greater status.
Not to mention that the six princesses disagreed, there were still rivals of the Gong family among the people present, so they couldn't agree. At first, the princess was embarrassed to find trouble with the palace family, but now she can't do anything if she doesn't do anything in this situation.
"Master Gong, your flattering skills are really good, our Zhao family really can't learn it. ”
The person who spoke was called Zhao Qian, and when he heard the name, he knew that he only recognized money, and in the capital, in addition to the pharmacy of the Gong family, the gambling house of the Zhao family was the most famous, but recently the Zhao family began to buy several small pharmacies in the city, and it was obvious that they came to the palace family, and there were more visitors today and they didn't find that the people of the Zhao family had any excessive behavior, so they didn't care about them, who wanted them to come out and make trouble at this critical juncture.
"Zhao Qian, the elves and the princess are here today, you have to pay attention to what you say, our grievances will be resolved privately, this is not the kind of place where anyone can be presumptuous in your Zhao family's gambling house. ”
"What Master Gong said is that our Zhao family gambling house is indeed any ninth-rate person who can come and be presumptuous, and you don't know, your second son of the Gong family is the most presumptuous in our gambling house, and if you owe money and don't flirt with people, I really don't know if it's 'tiger father without dogs'! haha~"
Ha ha~...
The hall burst into laughter, the face of the Gong family was lost by the second son this time, and the palace master, who was full of confidence just now and wanted to have a relationship with the elf clan, was disgraced.
"Sir, do you have any instructions, it's too noisy here, or let's talk elsewhere?"
Gong Hanping heard a reason, but it didn't have much to do with himself, the eldest and second usually wanted to die, and now they were exposed to bad habits and waited to see the jokes, but they were embarrassed and their father was also humiliated, and at present, only he can save face.
"That's not necessary, I just want to say, if the mixed incense is really made by you, it is better to participate in the selection competition of the 'Qishan Pavilion', as long as you can reach the stage of the seventh layer of incense burning there, I can take you to the holy land of the elf clan, let you learn the secret incense of our elf clan, what do you think." ”
As soon as these words came out, even the sixth princess couldn't believe that Gong Hanping could go to the holy land of the elf clan to study, and even the holy land that the current emperor couldn't set foot in could let Gong Hanping enter?
Except for Gong Hanping's father, everyone else is not very optimistic about this matter, not to mention whether Gong Hanping can go to the Holy Land of the Elf Clan, just by virtue of the selection of the 'Qishan Pavilion', he may not be able to pass this level.
Qishan Pavilion is the highest level of cultivation academy in Qi Nan Kingdom, recruiting ten disciples in the country every year, but the selection conditions are very harsh, and they are different every year, and there are often only one or two people who can pass.
Gong Hanping is even a prodigy, but he has lost more than ten years of cultivation time, and it is impossible to catch up with the cultivation stage of his current peers. From this point of view, many people are not optimistic about this matter, especially the sixth princess, who is the most proud, she is waiting to see Gong Hanping's ugly appearance.
"The old gentleman can afford me, and I should try my best, but I may not be able to stay on the seventh floor of incense. ”
After Gong Hanping finished speaking, many people laughed.
"If you can't get there, don't do it, otherwise it will make people think that the waste is back!"
Hearing the ridicule of the Zhao family, Gong Hanping didn't care. And Gong Hanping's next words shocked people again.
"I'm going to reach the incense-making stage and then go to the Elven Holy Land!"
