Summary of the previous chapter: Ling'er's wife agreed to Ma Xiaoquan's flirtation and promised Ma Xiaoquan to accept Murong Ziyan. At the same time, the banquet also started...
As soon as Ma Bing finished speaking, he was immediately greeted by a burst of hums.
Someone said: "Brother Tongxin, we know the jade pendant that Emperor Ling gave to his beloved concubine, but where does this life-prolonging pill come from..."
The horse soldier chuckled, cupped his hands slightly, and then turned sideways: "The pill for longevity needs to be refined by myself, the Immortal Marquis Ma Xiaoquan of the Han Dynasty."
As soon as Ma Bing said these words, there was an uproar in the audience.
Cai Hao opened his mouth and said loudly: "Shenxian Hou? Having said that, he can refine elixirs? Besides, elixirs may be real or fake. Who knows if he refined them? Who knows if he can refine them?"
Next to Ma Bing, Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and concentrated a little. Suddenly, a light red flame ignited in the palm of his right hand.
"Oh" As soon as this scene appeared, there was some restlessness in the venue.
As for Ma Xiaoquan's ability to control fire, some nobles in Jingzhou have also seen it. They saw it when they were digging for treasure in Tianjue Valley. However, at that time, their thoughts were all on the treasure. How could they pay so much attention to it?
?
But now it's different. What time is it now? It's the time when the horse soldiers are hosting a banquet. Moreover, the horse soldiers just said that the longevity elixir will be refined by the Immortal Marquis himself.
When there was too much restlessness, it naturally turned into a commotion, and even the wives of the nobles began to whisper.
Cai Hao snorted coldly and said: "Young master, who doesn't know that this alchemy requires an alchemy furnace and an alchemy cauldron, and the Immortal Marquis can refine it with nothing? What a joke?"
Ma Bing explained: "General Cai doesn't know something. Lord Marquis does not need an alchemy furnace and an alchemy cauldron to refine the elixir. He can only condense it with his hands."
When Cai Mao heard this, he laughed and said: "You made a joke with your bare hands? Ma Tongxin, I think you are obsessed with it, right?"
The horse soldier's face darkened slightly, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "If General Cai doesn't believe it, you can witness it with your own eyes. Of course, alchemy requires medicinal materials, and my horse soldier can still get these things.
"
Cai Hao said: "Since you are refining longevity pills, the medicinal materials you just said you could get should be considered valuable medicinal materials. Do you dare to take them out for us to test?"
The horse soldier nodded and said, "Of course you can. Come here and bring all the medicinal materials for the alchemy of the Marquis?"
As soon as Ma Bing finished speaking, the servants of Ma Mansion brought up basins of medicinal materials.
They are indeed precious medicinal materials, but not everyone can bear the medicinal smell.
Cai Hao covered his nose and frowned: "Can the elixir made from this medicinal material be eaten?"
Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to do it anymore and thought to himself: Damn, is this Cai Mao here to make trouble? Why are there so many bullshit?
Ma Xiaoquan winked at Ma Bing, who said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, please be patient. Naturally, the medicinal materials cannot be eaten directly. Of course, they need to be brewed and screened. These tasks will be done by the Marquis's wife personally."
..."
When Cai Mao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "My wife also has some knowledge of medicinal materials. I wonder if I can join them?"
Ma Bing knew what Cai Mao meant. He was afraid that Ma Xiaoquan would cheat.
Ma Bing looked at Ma Xiaoquan, who nodded slightly.
Ma Bing smiled and said: "Of course. Not only General Cai's wife is needed, but if there is anyone else here who knows about medicinal materials, they can also join in. We all welcome them."
This time, Cai Mao didn't talk much anymore, but Ma Bing's promise just now did bring him some confusion.
Although the medicinal materials are expensive, what if there are too many people joining and some of them cause trouble? You are the master and you cannot fall out with the guests?
Ma Xiaoquan could see what Ma Bing was thinking. He stepped forward, grabbed a tea cup and murmured: "It's not impossible to help me if you want to, but I have some ugly words ahead of me. If anyone makes trouble, don't do it."
I blame you for being rude. Some people may think it doesn't matter, but I promise you with my thousand years of age that if anyone causes trouble, I will kill your whole family. Remember, it's the whole family!" After saying this, Ma Xiaoquan's eyes narrowed.
The teacup in his hand rattled twice and was instantly burned to ashes by the flames.
Ma Xiaoquan's domineering words immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some of the nobles present.
However, seeing such a tyrannical Shenxian Hou, they were not fools. The worst they could do was wait until the banquet was over and secretly read a copy of him.
How could Ma Xiaoquan not know what those people were thinking? He clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Don't think too much. If you didn't touch my Ni Lin, I would be very reasonable. I think everyone is more or less
I have heard that, yes, I am already one thousand and forty-six years old this year... After living for such a long time, I also know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have refined this life-extending product.
Dan, can extend life span by 10 years..."
"Yi 10 years?" Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, someone immediately said, "Master Hou, are you serious about this?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "Recently, there are rumors that an elixir of immortality has appeared in Xiangyang. Haha, do you know who refined that thing?"
Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, Ma Xiaoquan continued: "To tell you the truth, I refined that thing!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately exploded.
Cai Mao curled his lips and said: "Shenxian Hou, don't put too much gold on yourself. Did you refine it? When did you refine it?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Of course it is the sixth year of Zhongping... However, it is indeed an exaggeration to say that this elixir of immortality is exaggerated. After all, I had no choice but to make elixirs at that time. At that time, the main purpose of refining elixirs was to punish people.
Kill the old thief Dong Zhuo."
"Kill Dong Zhuo?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I have refined a total of 20 pills. Among these 20 pills, most of them have no effect. If there is an effect, only I can see it..."
Cai Hao's heart twitched fiercely. He stepped forward and asked, "How can you tell? So how many of the 20 pills are effective?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, shook his head and said, "It's been almost 20 years and I can't remember clearly. However, the life-saving pill that the emperor took when he was a child is one of the genuine ones."
"How do you say this?"
Ma Xiaoquan explained: "For the real elixir of immortality, healthy people will definitely become immortal after taking it, while people who are seriously ill will recover from their serious illness, but they will not be able to live forever. Therefore, when it comes to this elixir of immortality,
, in fact, it can be regarded as a holy elixir that can only cure diseases. Of course, you should eat what you eat, but you can’t commit suicide, hehe..."
Cai Mao trembled slightly, put his hand into his arms, gently touched a small wooden box in his arms, and stopped talking.
After explaining, Ma Xiaoquan stepped aside casually and returned the right to speak to Ma Bing. Ma Bing nodded, took two steps forward and clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, everyone understands what the Marquis has said.
Okay, everyone, please take your seats first!"
Although the nobles and nobles had doubts in their hearts, they did not want to disobey their masters and soldiers, so they had no choice but to take their families to the table.
...
The banquet is nothing more than drinking, eating meat, listening to music and dancing. Of course, in order to show their uniqueness, the nobles must also play some acid and ink that Ma Xiaoquan has always disliked.
Ma Xiaoquan had to prepare medicinal materials, so he did not participate in these. By the time the nobles and nobles began to write and write, Ma Xiaoquan had basically prepared the materials.
"Thank you everyone..." Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands, "Let's take a rest first, we are almost ready."
Most of the people who sorted out the medicine materials with Ma Xiaoquan were women. Some of these women were of noble status, and some were of relatively humble status. Although these pampered women complained frequently before sorting out the medicine materials, they saw Ma Xiaoquan's hands from time to time.
When the flames are lit, everything becomes obedient.
When the Marquis said to rest, these women wanted to sit down on the spot.
The sound of "Ouch, ouch" kept reaching Ma Xiaoquan's ears. Murong Ziyan rubbed her arms and whispered: "Brother Ma, how about you tell everyone a story?"
It doesn’t matter if Ma Xiaoquan is sincere, there’s nothing going on anyway, so why not just talk about it.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, Murong Ziyan blushed, and discussed with Ling'er. Ling'er also nodded, and then said to the women present: "My husband-in-law wants to tell you a story, are you interested in hearing it?"
ah?"
"Got a story?"
These pampered women had nothing to do all day long, and they were already bored to the core. When they heard Ma Xiaoquan wanted to tell a story, they immediately became energetic. In line with the nature of women who love gossip, within a moment, they surrounded Ma Xiaoquan three times.
Three outer circles.
Surrounded by so many beautiful women, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt like an "invincible stallion". Although only two of these women belonged to her, but being stared at by so many beautiful eyes, which man wouldn't be moved? Which man wouldn't?
pride?
"It turns out that this is the pleasure of conquest..." Ma Xiaoquan said secretly in his heart.
"Once upon a time there was a mountain..." Ma Xiaoquan started talking...
After a long time, the women listened with great pleasure, and Ma Xiaoquan also enjoyed the lecture very much.
These women, if they talk about current affairs, they know a little bit about it, but if they talk about modern society, they definitely don't know about it in this era.
Ma Xiaoquan seized on this point, glossed over some of his small experiences in modern society, and told them to these women. Of course, in order to adjust the atmosphere, Ma Xiaoquan also interspersed some ghost stories from time to time.
Women are very strange animals. Men can never guess their thoughts, and it is impossible for men to guess them. Especially when it comes to ghost stories, although these women said they would not listen to them, as soon as Ma Xiaoquan started telling them, they stared.
Her beautiful eyes were focused, and she looked more serious than anyone else.
