Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan conquered the curious hearts of women with his nonsense stories, and prepared the medicinal materials needed for alchemy with both kindness and power. Then, the alchemy began...
The wild ginseng has been carefully sorted by the women, and even the small parts of the wild ginseng have been washed clean.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, brought the wild ginseng to his nose and gently smelled it twice. Feeling the natural ginseng fragrance, Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and thought to himself: If this thing were released in modern society, how could it be worth a lot of money?
Thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan could not tolerate any more hesitation at this moment. He shouted lowly and suddenly threw the wild ginseng into the air. Then in full view of everyone, he clicked his right hand, and a light green flame came from
Squirts gushed out from his index and middle fingers.
This trick was not invented by Ma Xiaoquan, but he learned it from Ming Xin.
As the first firebender, Tomorrow Heart's ability to control flames is much stronger than that of a dabbler like Ma Xiaoquan. This move is called "Spiritual Fire Finger", which is one of Tomorrow Heart's favorite flame skills.
Of course, tomorrow's heart will use the Spiritual Fire Finger to practice, discuss and do tasks, while Ma Xiaoquan will use it to refine medicine.
The green spirit fire turned into a slender line of fire, instantly surrounding the two wild ginseng plants, and suspended them in mid-air strangely.
"Wow!" Ma Xiaoquan's move immediately attracted a lot of exclamations.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled proudly, jumped up, and put the "burning" wild ginseng in his hand.
Starting with the wild ginseng, Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be mysterious and gave a low drink, then smiled slightly and threw the "burning" wild ginseng into a sealed earthen jar.
In his left eye, Yuan kept curling his lips and said: "Wow, Hun Danma Xiaoquan, you are so good at showing off. In fact, you didn't burn those two wild ginseng at all, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan responded in his heart: "Nonsense, this is not what you said. The movements must be big and the expressions must be rich..."
Yuan Dao: "Well, you did a good job. Oh, by the way, don't burn the ginseng on those two wild ginseng. They are high-grade medicinal materials. Leave some for me."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and responded: "You are not a human being. What do you want that thing for? Eat it?"
Yuan was not angry and said: "Nonsense, I can't take the soul of space in the hands of your wife Ling'er for nothing. No matter what, I have to get some supplements to reward your wife Ling'er, right? When this matter is finished, hurry up and take the space soul."
Give me the soul fragment."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded in his mind.
To outsiders, Ma Xiaoquan's facial expressions and movements seemed like he was thinking about something, which added a sense of mystery to others.
...
After placing the wild ginseng in the earthen jar, Ma Xiaoquan immediately picked up several other medicinal materials, sorted them and "baked them" one by one.
In order to "build momentum" for himself and make himself remembered by others, Ma Xiaoquan performed different actions when "barbecuing" each medicinal ingredient.
In the eyes of everyone, the Shenxian Hou jumped up and down, shouted, sometimes went crazy, and sometimes even burst out some words from his mouth that no one could understand.
Of course, these words that everyone cannot understand are actually the alphabet song sung by Ma Xiaoquan.
Some nobles felt that Ma Xiaoquan was being pretentious, so they poured themselves some wine before Ma Xiaoquan finished refining it. Most people, because they were curious, kept staring at Ma Xiaoquan.
Especially the women who had helped Ma Xiaoquan sort out the medicinal materials and listened to his stories, their eyes widened and they stared without blinking.
Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands, stepped forward and patted the edge of the earthen jar, and said to everyone: "I believe you have all seen the medicinal materials in this, right?"
Cai Mao curled his lips and suddenly said: "Although the medicinal materials there are valuable, they are definitely not prescriptions for prolonging life, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Calling it a life-prolonging pill naturally requires me to inject a little magic into it."
"Immortal magic?" Cai Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The immortal magic you are talking about are those flames you just played with?"
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Cai Mao with disdain and said disdainfully: "Of course the immortal magic is not those flames. General Cai, you have never seen it. I will let you see it today, so that you will not always find trouble with me."
Ma Xiaoquan said Cai Hao was very embarrassed, but it was true. From the time Ma Xiaoquan prepared the materials until now, Cai Hao had always intervened, complained, or poured cold water on him and made sarcastic remarks. If it weren't for the fact that he was now in control.
Most of the military power in Jingzhou, there must be some big nobles present who would quarrel with him.
Cai Mao chuckled: "Master Hou, look at what you said, oh...how can I have it?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "Haha, I am not targeting you, I am just talking casually. General Cai doesn't need to mind! Everyone, I have prepared this medicinal material. As for how to refine it, I still need your help.
Hey, I wonder if you guys have any opinions?"
The nobles looked at each other, and someone said: "Master Marquis, I wonder what you are talking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and asked his servants to bring over several large plates of grapes that had been prepared long ago.
When the grapes came up, someone immediately asked: "Master Marquis, are you making wine?"
Ma Xiaoquan picked up a grape, threw it into his mouth, and murmured: "Yes, you all know that in the past, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions as an envoy and brought back wine-making technology from the Western Regions, so that we can enjoy such fine wines, but have you heard about it?
There are two kinds of grape wine, one is called the Virgin's Kiss, and the other is called the Love of a Fierce Woman."
"Oh?" Cai Hao took the lead again and said, "Cai has heard a little about the lust of a fierce woman, but for a married woman, she washes her body and hands, and peels each grape apart bit by bit.
Made from squeezed grape juice?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "General Cai is really well-informed, but does General Cai know about this virgin kiss?"
Cai Mao was honest and just shook his head.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "This virgin kiss is made by chewing the grapes with the mouth of an untouched virgin, and the grape juice flowing out, accompanied by her saliva, is mixed into a fine wine."
All the dignitaries present were talking about it when they heard that the Virgin Kiss wine was made in such a way.
Someone asked again: "Master Marquis, what is the difference between this Virgin's Kiss wine and the elixir you are about to refine?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "The longevity pill that I have refined needs this virgin's kiss to deliver it. Otherwise, it will only extend your life by one year."
"Scared?" Ma Xiaoquan's words immediately caused an uproar in the venue.
Any normal person can compare the difference between ten years and one year. It is a world of difference.
Cai Hao pondered for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Master Hou, is the elixir of immortality that has been circulating in the market recently also delivered with the lips of a virgin?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes slightly, hummed, and nodded: "That's right. However, in order to take the elixir of immortality, the age of the virgin lips must be more than 20 years old and cannot be damaged."
Cai Hao frowned and asked again: "It is said that the emperor took it when he was very young. It seems that the emperor did not drink any virgin kiss..."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and cursed: "You bastard, who is the emperor? Who are you? Can your body be compared with the emperor's dragon body?"
Cai Mao was speechless, took a few steps back, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at Cai Hao and said: "Everyone, these grapes are used to make virgin kisses. Of course, because the longevity pill does not require vintage wine, it can be made on site. But, I don't know who can do it.
How about a virgin?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, all the nobles present were worried.
When it comes to virgins, it’s not that there are none. They are just ordinary-looking virgins. Who would want to eat her saliva?
Seeing that no one was talking to him, Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Everyone, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"
All the nobles raised their heads and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Murong Ziyan and said: "My sister Ziyan is young and beautiful, and she is also a virgin. I want to use her to create this virgin kiss. Do you have any opinions?"
All the nobles followed the direction of Ma Xiaoquan's finger and turned their attention to Murong Ziyan, who was less than a few meters away from Ma Xiaoquan.
Although Murong Ziyan grew up in Wangxiang Tower, she had never had so many pairs of eyes looking at her. In an instant, Murong Ziyan's pretty face turned red.
Cai Hao had already been coveting Murong Ziyan for a long time. When he heard that she was still a virgin, Xiao Cai's crotch immediately started pouting.
Cai Mao half-hunched his body and took the lead: "I think it will work, I think it will work, let's take Miss Murong."
After Cai Mao's death, some nobles responded immediately, but a small number of people still raised doubts.
Ma Xiaoquan knew what they were suspecting, and he said loudly: "No one can doubt the innocence of my sister Murong, otherwise..." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan stomped his feet fiercely, and only heard "boom"
With a sound, the granite floor under his feet immediately burst into pieces.
Murong Ziyan's eyes were red, and she cast a grateful look at Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, stared at the nobles with a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Do you have any other opinions?"
How dare the nobles have any more opinions? The Immortal Marquis has already guaranteed this. If you have any more doubts, you will really be asking for trouble.
Seeing everyone's silence, Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I have one more thing to announce, that is, whose wife wins the selection of the most beautiful wife, the corresponding husband will have the opportunity to get my sister Zi Yan.
