That night, Li Zhen's soul fell into a dream and met Mu Qingsi in the dream world.

"I've arrived, everything is fine, you don't have to worry......"

Through this method, you can reach far and wide and be contacted in a timely manner.

I didn't feel anything when I used to be together every day, but now when I travel far away, tens of thousands of miles away, I know the benefits of the method of falling into dreams, no wonder in Neverland, a large group of monks from all over the world gather together, all of them are as familiar as if they are close at hand.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Li Zhen went to the back garden again to meet Mrs. Yu, but saw that Mrs. Yu had gathered several snail girls and slaves, each carrying some delicate flower basket-like things and standing beside her.

Today's Mrs. Yu has changed her clothes again, it is a brocade woven flower butterfly dress, under the smoke gauze loose flower skirt, still soft and close-fitting, a look that is not visible at all, but it is not as wrong as yesterday.

With a faint smile on her face, she was full of concern like an aunt who cared about her juniors: "Li Zhen, come and sit here, how was your rest last night?"

Li Zhen sat down and said, "Thank you for your concern, I have recovered my spirits." ”

Mrs. Yu said: "Okay, I'll take a look at what skills you have first, so I can arrange the commission." ”

Then he said: "This is also to do that thing better, I hope you don't mind." ”

Li Zhen said: "Mrs. Yu doesn't need to say much, the juniors know, but I don't know, what Mrs. wants to take the school entrance exam." ”

Mrs. Yu said: "Along the way of incense, the first thing to look at is your ability to smell and taste incense, then to identify materials, to know the compatibility of various spices, and finally to make incense."

In fact, these are closely related, and it is necessary to have a taste in the nose, a spectrum in the belly, and a prescription in the heart in order to appreciate the fragrances and correctly analyze their respective tastes and modulation mechanisms.

I have collected all kinds of classical spectrum recipes, collected the world's spices and incense materials, and I think I have gained a little from this way, but our incense is in the ascendant, and it is always not a way. ”

"Communication...... On the road......" Li Zhen nodded.

Although Mrs. Yu said it politely, he couldn't take it too seriously, and it was still a test in essence.

But Li Zhen is confident that he will not lose to others in his life, especially in the incense road, he has his own unique attainments.

This is brought about by the talent of smelling incense, and it is by no means something that can be obtained by participating in the study of classics like Mrs. Yu for thousands of years.

If you can attain the Tao after living for a long time, what else do you need to be talented? The turtle has the top qualifications.

Mrs. Yu said: "I asked someone to fetch a batch of incense materials, you can see first, can you tell what it is." ”

As she spoke, she beckoned, and with a gentle flick, the maid who stood closest stepped forward and placed a flower basket in front of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen only glanced at it, and then smiled: "These are cloves, Huoxiang, Jatamansi, sandalwood, clove bark, peony skin, tonka, Xinyi, and borneol." ”

Mrs. Yu said: "These are common mundane materials, and they really don't bother you, but I want to ask, what kind of incense do you think can be made into this basket?"

Li Zhen said: "Such a material, the right is the end of the usual method of concocting, suitable for the production of plum blossom fragrance used in wearing." ”

Fu looked at the second person again, and said across the zhang: "If I am not mistaken, there should be fennel in that basket, take half a tael with the previous sweet pine one tael, tonka one tael, sandalwood half a tael, a hundred cloves, a little dipterocarp and another research, the right is the fine refining honey and harmony, dry and wet can be burned, and it is another plum blossom incense party." ”

Then there is the third person: "The basket is also another plum blossom incense material, take one or two clove sticks, one or two tonka incense, one or two white thatch, one or two sweet pine, one or two white sandalwood, two coins of white plum powder, fifteen almonds, three cloves, half a white honey, and the right is a fine honey refining agent, and it can be stored for seven days." ”

Mrs. Yu was amazed: "If it weren't for the fact that I also raised the place to let the servants go to fetch these and prepare to make incense, I would have thought that you would have known about it in advance!"

Yes, the contents of these three baskets are used to condense the fragrance of plum blossoms!"

This examination is not only his ability to smell and smell spices, but also the amount of knowledge that reads classics and understands the fragrance recipe, and he can't answer without a certain knowledge reserve.

However, no matter how you say this, they are just mundane things, and they do not have any magical use of spiritual materials and spiritual incense.

Madame Yu beckoned again and asked the fourth maid to come over.

This time, she personally took down the flower basket carried by the maid, and put out a few things from it and displayed them in front of Li Zhen.

"Do you recognize these spiritual materials?"

Li Zhen only glanced at it, and felt bad, and honestly admitted: "I don't recognize it." ”

Mrs. Yu smiled: "Don't worry, this time you don't have to test your knowledge, some of the incense spiritual materials are not to be found, and some are useless on land, seeing this thing does not represent anything."

Now that you have laid the foundation, you have a lot of opportunities to contact and understand, if you don't know, let me teach you to identify these things, and how much you can gain is up to you. ”

There are two meanings in Mrs. Yan's words.

The first is that she actually doesn't value Li Zhen's knowledge and insight, because Li Zhen is only in his twenties now, and even if he is born to know, it is difficult to understand things beyond that of a monk like her.

The second is that she has the ability to let Li Zhen increase her reserves and knowledge, and she has a treasure treasure in her hands, it depends on how Li Zhen excavates her!

Only shallow people will see some floating dust bubbles as accumulation, and some superficial things as insights, thus missing out on the real preciousness.

What she values is the essence of human beings, the way of thinking and the spiritual understanding.

What we have to test now is Li Zhen's learning ability.

As Mrs. Yu spoke, she picked up a spiritual material on the table, which was a piece of yam with skin, but after peeling it off, it was crystal clear, like a jewel-like columnar crystal.

"This thing is a different species of gemstone coral in the water, and the key to tasting it is the water-based spirit it contains, you can first perceive its characteristics with your divine sense, and after being familiar with it, you can slowly distinguish its nature.

This itself is a kind of spiritual material, but it is useless in the incense path, and the value is reflected elsewhere, only the crystallization of the white part in the middle is a useful thing.

It is often used for the blending and dissolution of some non-perfumed real water, and can be used to replace the solution and precipitate the fragrance, so it is also known as gem salt. ”

In Li's eyes, she personally broke open one of the gem corals, revealing the milky white gem crystals inside.

Most of the surrounding crystals were purple-brown and maroon-red, and they looked a little like agate, and after Mrs. Yu took a cup of Xuanyuan True Water with spiritual essence and put it into it, she saw that those milky white crystalline particles quickly disappeared.

"Look, the gem salt is soluble in the Xuanyuan True Water, and if you break it up and dissolve it by this method, you can precipitate ......"

She didn't finish the operation completely, and quickly pointed to a finished product placed next to her, which was a fist-sized glass bottle full of salt grains.

"With this kind of spiritual salt, it is possible to catalyze a lot of spiritual incense and change its sexual taste, especially in the removal of miscellaneous smells, it is unique, and it is rarely used in the Qi refining realm, probably because it is very valuable, and there are not too many spiritual materials that have entered the grade. ”

Mrs. Yu thought of the exorcism, and put an oval-shaped sac on the table, which Li Zhen was familiar with, but it was a hairy shell musk.

Under the control of the divine thought, this thing seemed to be cut open in the air, removing the capsule shell, peeling out the kernels, and suddenly, a strong and slightly spicy smell rushed out.

Mrs. Yu instructed Li Zhen: "You grind it." ”

Li Zhen's divine thought caught it, and out of thin air, it was slightly warmed by the yang fire, and he saw that it gradually expanded and cracked, and immediately an extremely rich and complex mixed smell overflowed.

At that moment, the whole is crushed, and when you knead it vigorously, it will be finely minced.

Mrs. Yu said, "Add this salt and try it." ”

Li Zhen did as he was told, and soon saw that the salt grains that were originally white crystals were rapidly changing color.

Li Zhen was surprised, and sensed it with his innate ability to visualize the smell and manifest the fragrance, but found that those incense spirits were actually collected into the salt grains, as if they were frozen by ice crystals in the ice and snow.

Mrs. Yu said again: "After leaving it for enough time like this, rinse it with ordinary water, and then put it into Xuanyuan real water to dissolve, and then you can transfer the spiritual incense."

As a general rule, it takes at least one day and one night to fully absorb this essence, but now that I'm showing you this, that's the way it is. ”

Li Zhen vaguely understood something, took the water brought by the maid, and washed the salt grains.

Sure enough, only the surface impurities were washed away, which was insoluble in mortal water.

But after taking it out and draining it, it was put back in another cup of Xuanyuan True Water, and it was immediately seen that all of these gem salts that had turned brownish yellow had dissolved and disappeared.

And in the Xuanyuan real water, there is more free musk fragrance.

"The monks of the immortal cultivation realm actually have a method similar to my method of carrying incense!"

Li Zhen was secretly shocked in his heart, and became more and more sure that the fragrance in the mouth of the concubine was taken from the concept of Lingyun, and it was actually the fragrance perceived by his natural ability!

They didn't have the talent to smell incense, so they actually found the strange things that existed between heaven and earth, and used their characteristics to act on their behalf.

This has to be said to be a kind of trick.

However, Li Zhen compared it, but he was relieved.

It takes a day and a night to carry the incense in such a musk, which is far inferior to his own ability.

And this kind of thing may only be able to copy the mixed incense, and there is no way to finely precipitate and distinguish it.

The only advantage is that this method does not have any requirements for cultivation strength, and when it is prepared on a large scale, it can improve the transfer efficiency by increasing the dosage.

Its existence has transformed supernatural spells into craftsman skills, and as long as these materials are prepared, even ordinary people are capable of operating them.

At this time, Mrs. Yu said again: "Li Zhen, do you know the fragrance of animals?"

Li Zhen said: "I know a little. ”

"Oh? Mrs. Yu said with a smile.

Li Zhen groaned slightly, and said: "The fragrance of animals, as ordinary people know, is nothing more than musk, ambergris, there are many categories here, each with different tastes, but the world is big, there are no wonders, and there are countless people with incense in all kinds of things, far more than these two categories.

For example, guano incense, there is a bird called Yue Wang Bird, the shape is like a kite, the mouth hook is at the end, there is a capacity of two liters, some people use their beak shell as a wine vessel, which is more precious than a snail.

This bird does not trample the ground, does not drink the water of the rivers and lakes, does not eat grass, does not eat insects and fish, but only the leaves, and its dung is like the fragrance of the land.

There is also a kind of civet incense, which is a kind of fragrant cat that looks like a leopard, and its feces and urine are fragrant.

There are also incense elephants and fragrant pigs, and their secretions have incense.

The bone rhinoceros is a jade rhino, its role is like jasper, slightly yellow, the texture is like a cow's horn, the percussion has the sound of clear and more like jade, and the grinding and smelling are fragrant.

There is also a kind of spiritual rhino incense, which is taken from the incense of the rhino horn of Tongtian, it is rumored that it is the same as the agarwood, the smoke curls up, can dispel the clouds, and it is rumored that the spiritual rhino horn is placed on the ground, leading the chicken to peck the rice, once it is seen, it will be frightened and flee, so it is also called the horritic chicken.

There is also a kind of civet, hermaphroditic, self-propelled peony, its waterway even with wine sprinkled in the shade, its gas is like a musk deer, ordinary people are difficult to distinguish.

In addition, there are chicken tongue incense, fox foot incense, snail shell incense and all kinds of ......"

There are indeed many incense producers in the animal kingdom, and I can't finish talking about it in a short time.

It is even rumored that when kneading the dough by hand, some micro-particles of the stratum corneum of the skin are added, which also contains a special aroma.

Some people are accustomed to shaving their noses, nails, and even the skin of their feet, and often have a penchant.

It is also the embodiment of an animalistic aroma.

Taken together, most of them are related to the accumulation of endocrine glands or stratum corneum.

Most of the time, the secretions of animals are smelly, unless they are regulated by a specific diet.

Li Zhen simply explained these truths in her own words, and Mrs. Yu couldn't help but show a slight surprise.

This is the research method of modern science, and it can be regarded as a stone of other mountains in this life.

Mrs. Yu said: "You know far more than I imagined, faintly have a self-contained appearance, so it seems that what I know is to rely on the experience accumulated over time to live for a long time, but there is no detail of what you say."

But this can be discussed later, what I want to tell you now is that this gem salt mainly acts on animal incense, especially ambergris, snail shell incense and the like!

What I want you to do now is try to extract the snail shell perfume.

Don't look at this thing as a simple use of materials, as simple as the skills of mortal craftsmen, if you don't have the right time, you can't do it, you will fail. ”

Li Zhen was taught such a method by her, and he was already eager to try, and immediately said: "Dare to ask Mrs. Yu, where is the incense?"

I thought that Mrs. Yu would wave again and ask the maids to bring the materials needed for preparation, but unexpectedly, she smiled subtly and asked people to put away everything on the stone table, leaving only a section of gem coral, a bottle of Xuanyuan real water, and a few empty cups.

"That's all you can use, and you can't leave here. ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but be surprised, this is a cooking for people without rice?

How to extract snail shell incense without snail shell incense?

But suddenly, a strange fragrance came into Li Zhen's nose, and Li Zhen lowered his head in surprise and turned his head to look around in disbelief.
