Chapter 203: Misunderstanding
The aroma is mellow but intangible, like a trickle flowing from the void, and it is difficult to trace its source for a moment.
But Li Zhen quickly came to the conclusion based on experience that this is a kind of snail shell incense, and it is also an extremely high-quality snail shell incense.
It may be produced from snails, a type of snail carapace.
"Xiangxian" contains: "The big one is like an ou, and the front side is wrapped several inches long, the shell is craggy, there are thorns, and the miscellaneous incense burns to make it fragrant, and the taste is not good when it is burned alone." ”
Snail shell incense also belongs to this category of materials, most of the snails are fishy and astringent, whether it is its carapace, or meat, may not smell good, there is a record of "must be boiled with wine and honey, to remove the smell and salivation, before it can be used".
However, in the world of cultivating immortals, snail creatures are the largest family of the sea family, containing many genera and species, especially the snail girl.
The Snail Girl is a genus of goblins that are very close to human appearance, and are born with humanoid bodies.
In addition, the incense produced by many people with spiritual essence is far better than the incense of flowing snails, which Li Zhen had heard of before.
"It can't be the aroma of this cave world itself, right?"
Li Zhen suddenly felt a thrill, and remembered the huge snail shell he had seen before coming here.
This is the remnant of the demon king, although it belongs to the genus of snails, but it is also the existence of the field snail family, if it is said that this snail demon king has extraordinary blood, flesh and carapace with fragrance, it is not surprising.
Li Zhen felt that the reason why he didn't find this fragrance at first was because he was blinded by the strange flowers and plants planted everywhere, and he saw many maids and slaves along the way, and the bedding and curtains were all fragrant, as well as the strange fragrance smelled on Mrs. Yu's body, all of which were shocking.
Until this moment, it was difficult to cook without rice, so I had a whim and felt something.
It's a cognitive perception, and there's a world of difference between attention and non-attention.
Seeing Li Zhen sitting there in a daze, as if she was helpless, Mrs. Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and quietly left first.
It was not an easy task to deal with the exam she had left behind, at least not for a short time, and she did not stay here to wait, leaving only a few maids to accompany her, and the overseer was at her disposal.
"Madam, why don't you give that Li Daoyou the materials needed to make incense?"
In the backyard, the beaded curtain hangs, and behind the curtain, the figure is hazy.
A bronze coral incense burner is emitting an ethereal fragrance that fills the room like a gurgling spring.
The maid Hongyu half-knelt on the ground, took off her shoes and socks for Mrs. Yu who was sitting on the embroidered couch, and asked with a little curiosity.
Mrs. Yu said: "The snail shell incense I am referring to is not an extraordinary incense, but a cover carried by the snail girl, if he is smart enough, when he can understand that people and snail girls are also animals, and there is also incense on their bodies, otherwise what did I do to him before, is it really just to show the gem salt?"
Redfish complained, "Can't you be serious, like asking him to extract musk or something?"
Mrs. Yu said: "Is the musk serious, it's okay to cut it from all beasts, this has to be replaced with spiritual incense, the sea is vast, where can I go to find the head of the male deer demon who has been transformed? It's better to have ambergris!"
Besides, ambergris is disgusting when you study it carefully! Speaking of which, it is still a snail girl cover that is simple and easy to obtain. ”
Hongyu said: "In short, madam, something is wrong with you!"
Mrs. Yu's apricot eyes were round: "Heh, you girl dare to talk to me like this, didn't she see that Lang Jun was so cute, and her heart was rippling?"
Hongyu glanced at her and put her shoes and socks aside: "It doesn't feel good to do this, and you lose the gift of hospitality!"
Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Silly girl, I am a dignified and true cultivator, how can I do things in a disorderly manner?"
The red fish fox looked at her suspiciously, looking unconvinced.
Mrs. Yu explained: "Most of the close friends I have made back and forth are female cultivators, among whom there are conservative temperaments, there is no shortage of bold and open-minded people, prodigal and greedy, openly supporting mistresses, and countless strong women also exist......
Whether he is just an incompetent rat who is easily fascinated, or an old-fashioned and old-fashioned goose, or a frivolous boy with superb means, he doesn't dare to let him contact him easily, otherwise if he is not careful, he will not cause me all kinds of trouble?
After all, it is still necessary to be a fellow female cultivator, or a talent with excellent mind and decent style, which is worth valuing. ”
Hongyu suddenly realized: "It turns out that what you really want to test is his wisdom and heart, not his craftsmanship!"
Mrs. Yu said: "What kind of sect is Tianyun Sect, they have already recognized him as a master of incense and has extraordinary attainments, can I still not recognize it once I am a casual cultivator?"
Although I don't know what kind of skills he has, but he was born with a strange soul and smells people, but he has heard Huang Yun's predecessors mention it, and Elder Shang seems to attach great importance to this son, after all, it is not too bad, if he really has some talent, plus I carefully adjust it, he will definitely be better than the blue, and when the time comes, I will not have to rely on him to do that thing......"
When Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "His incense dao attainments can surpass you?"
Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "My incense Dao skill is just a skill of concurrent cultivation, there are many more powerful seniors in the immortal cultivation world, I heard that there is a mysterious Yuanying master behind Li Zhen, can I still beat other Yuanying masters?"
Thanks to the mutual probing and betting of the seniors of all parties, there are more and more chips bet on Li Zhen, and the expectations are getting higher and higher.
This lady is even more self-aware, and affirms that Li Zhen can be better than the blue.
At least on the way to the incense.
However, there are different ways to bring up the younger generations and teach the Fa.
She can open the mountain to accept apprentices, or she can close the door and enter the room, or exchange and discuss, on an equal footing, and she can give instructions at will, and deal with Huang Yun's seniors' requests.
After all, we still have to see Li Zhen's character and heart clearly.
The red fish thought to himself, and suddenly said, "That's not enough!"
Mrs. Yu said, "What not?"
Hongyu said: "If he is an incompetent person who is fascinated by casual means, then that's fine, if it's a pedantic stupid goose, sent to protect the female cultivators, if it's a playboy, can be with those strong women, then it might as well be a good thing, why do you have to have a good heart and wisdom?
And you said that the Tianyun Sect recognizes him as a master of incense...... Wouldn't Huang Yunzhen also recognize the future of his character and promise to marry with his heirs?"
Mrs. Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "Hehehehe, guess?"
At this moment, a snail girl hurriedly came to report: "Madam, Li Gongzi said that it has been completed!"
"What?"
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
Mrs. Yu was stunned, her face full of disbelief.
It's like trying to test someone else's cooking skills, giving him pots and pans, but not rice, and letting him find it himself.
Before going out, I didn't even see the fire, but in the blink of an eye, I said that it was all done!
After Mrs. Yu was surprised, her complexion suddenly changed drastically, and she was furious: "Good you Li Zhen, I treat each other with kindness, and I dare to play this game with my mother!"
The maid Hongyu looked inexplicable and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Yu said angrily: "Don't you understand this, that kid must be cheating! Hmph, I really think I'm stupid, just take out a pre-prepared finished product, and I will be shocked and look at him differently!"
Speaking of this, his face was already pale.
This is no longer a question of skill, but of character and character.
Even such a test wants to win by cheating, isn't it used to being opportunistic?
Bao Buqi also has to hit the crooked idea on a female cultivator like himself, so as to save the work of struggle.
She initially had a slight impression of Li Zhen, just because she was really good-looking, and there was a master of Xuanxin National Incense, and the golden signboard valued by the Xianmen, that is, to find a home for the incense Dao methods obtained by her adventures, and to continue the mastery of the predecessors and sages, she should also consider cultivating it, but she didn't expect that Jin Yu was ruined outside, and he actually did such a pickled thing!
The good feeling in Mrs. Yu's heart disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was annoyance, even anger.
"Even if you want to cheat, you have to use a little brain, so flamboyant, what do you think of me?"
She faintly regretted it at this time, wondering if she had behaved too casually at the beginning, which made people feel that there was an opportunity.
Some people just opened a dyeing workshop in three colors, and they must have not put up a shelf before, which made him think unnecessarily.
If it weren't for that, it would never be so perfunctory to a Yudan senior.
Mrs. Yu hurriedly beckoned the red fish to put on her socks and shoes, and hurried back to the garden.
At this time, Li Zhen was already waiting there confidently.
The method he used was naturally to draw the incense that overflowed around him from the air and use it as a sacrifice.
As the so-called avenue is simple, with this means, even the gem salt given by Mrs. Yu before does not have to be consumed, and it can be easily completed.
This is the embodiment of his talent for smelling incense, and on the way to incense, he does have the ability to be called top-notch, and he can do whatever he wants.
Although this time it was Mrs. Yu who was taking the school exam, she was not a student in the school, and everything was done step by step, following the routine set by others.
Li Zhen felt that he still had to show his talent and ability in this way.
This is actually perfectly to the point.
The title given by Mrs. Yu is to make a perfume with a snail shell incense dissolved in Xuanyuan real water, which is essentially to refine this fragrance separately for backup.
She didn't give the raw materials, she should just let herself play freely.
The use of this gem salt is the skill of mortal craftsmen, how can they reveal their own magical means?
If you have this kind of magical means, why is it necessary to master this gem salt, and increase the cost and refining time for no reason?
This is why I didn't think of such a problem for a while, otherwise, Mrs. Yu could already start refining before she left, and she could complete it in front of her.
Soon, Mrs. Yu arrived, and Li Zhen saw her and saluted.
Mrs. Yu glanced at the bottle on the stone table, and said with an unkind face: "This is the finished product you made?"
Li Zhen said: "Exactly." ”
Mrs. Yu: "It's really capable, even a rice cook!"
Li Zhen was surprised: "Why did Mrs. Yu say this?"
Mrs. Yu said: "What you have done, you know it yourself!"
Only then did Li Zhen realize that the smell on Mrs. Yu's body was wrong.
She no longer had the same fragrance as before, but became spicy and choking, and there was a feeling of anger brewing.
"Why are you unhappy all of a sudden? It can't be because I am arrogant, and I have absorbed the spiritual incense that naturally overflows from this cave without asking, and brushed her meaning?"
Li Zhen consciously absorbed the incense that overflowed around him from the air, and used it to refrain from the sacrifice, and it was very tricky to complete the test of Mrs. Yan, and there was no problem from a technical point of view.
But as the saying goes, if you don't ask if you take it as a thief, who is this snail shell, and what is the meaning of this lady, I don't know at all, so I rashly draw incense from it, ignoring the conditions given by Mrs. Yan, it is indeed a bit of a big meaning.
After all, he still didn't put himself in the position of an apprentice and humbly asked for advice to please her, perhaps because he was making others unhappy in this regard.
"This is really asking for hardship, and regardless of the ancestors' orders, no matter what this lady says, she is also a true cultivator, and it is not so easy to fool. ”
Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Mrs. Yu said: "There is nothing to say, I thought that you could quibble!"
Li Zhen said: "The younger generation is presumptuous, reckless, and makes Mrs. angry, and there is really nothing to say." ”
Mrs. Yu was about to be laughed at by him, what she did was just reckless?
Could it be that this person has no courtesy, righteousness and shame, and does not know how bad such an opportunistic act is?
"Reckless, I think you're a bold genius, right! And extremely stupid! And brazen!"
Now that it has been revealed, Mrs. Yu is not so polite to speak, her face is covered with frost, and she said coldly.
"It seems that there is no room for you here, originally because of the trust of my predecessors, I also planned to take you well, and now everything is not tied, come here, send off guests!"
Li Zhen listened inexplicably, it is good to be bold, but what does this have to do with stupidity and brazenness?
If the spiritual incense overflowing from the cave here is really precious, or has any special meaning to you, why don't you mention it before?
Li Zhen thought back to Mrs. Yu's own question, and indeed did not say that he could not use the fragrance of the cave itself, or other precautions.
Is it because you don't use gem salt to get angry?
That's fine, it's a delicate skill, but it's not necessary.
I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and Li Zhen had to comfort himself, after all, the other party was a true cultivator, a senior master, how could it be reasonable.
Arguing with seniors is the real stupidity.
After all, he also used the incense of the cave mansion here without authorization, and Li Zhen had nothing to say, so he could only silently bow his hand and turn away with the maid who stepped forward.
When Mrs. Yu saw him looking so carefree, she naturally thought that if she was exposed for cheating, she would break the jar, and she was even more angry.
snorted coldly, didn't look at the finished product made by Li Zhen, turned around and left.
"Hey, madam, you ......" Hongyu couldn't help but be a little dazed.
But just as she wanted to leave, a strange fragrance hit, and she involuntarily turned her head and looked at the bottle containing Xuanyuan real water on the table.
