Twelve years of cynicism and three years of training in the Monster Mountain Range have tempered Xiao Yu's tough mind and solid Taoist heart. Therefore, Liu Ying alone cannot completely defeat Xiao Yu. Once the resentment in her heart is vented,
, Xiaoyu will once again become the decisive and decisive person he was before.
Not only was this something Liu Ying could not have imagined, but even Xiao Lin was amazed and said with admiration: "With a son like this, why worry that our Xiao clan cannot be revitalized. Xiao Chen, you can also have a smile on your face."
After getting rid of the shadow in his heart, Xiao Yu continued on the road. In the evening, a rather majestic city with walls made entirely of granite, like a huge stone peak, appeared on the horizon.
This majestic giant city is Xiaoyu's destination, Boulder City. It is also a prosperous and important city in the southeast of the Han Dynasty. It is only nearly a day's journey from Tianlan Sect.
Arriving in front of the giant stone city gate, Xiao Yu handed the guard a piece of inferior Origin Stone before walking in. This was a rule set by the Han Dynasty. Anyone who entered or left an important city had to pay an entry fee.
The roads in Boulder City are very wide, and three carriages can run side by side. There are many shops on both sides of the streets, with people flowing like water, and carriages and horses like dragons. Its prosperity is among the best even among the large cities of the Han Dynasty.
After entering Boulder City, Xiaoyu did not go to the wine pavilion immediately. Instead, he found an inn and walked in, ate some food and wine, and then asked for a room to live in.
"This Boulder City is really prosperous. It's a pity that Duan Changyun only gave me three days and no chance to wander around at all." Xiaoyu stood by the window and admired the streets downstairs where people were still coming and going after nightfall.
.
"Actually, you can choose not to return to Tianlan Sect, and there's nothing they can do about it." Xiao Lin said as he flew out of the flame jade pendant.
"But I'm worried about Xiao Jin. I walked in a hurry this time and haven't even laid eyes on him yet. I don't know what's going on now." Xiao Yu walked back to the bed and sat down cross-legged.
"People who cultivate immortality must learn to let go, otherwise these fetters may become your weakness and hinder your achievements on the immortal path." Xiaolin reminded him seriously: "And that fighting holy ape has my obsession.
Guard with the trace array, there will be no danger."
"Ancestor, I know your worries, but I, Xiaoyu, can't let go of this concern, because the way I seek is different from others. It's not just immortality, but doing whatever you want and having a clear conscience, so I will do whatever you want no matter what.
You have to go back and take a look at Xiao Jin." Xiao Yu replied decisively.
"Well, since this is your choice, I won't interfere. While there is still time, practice fire control." Xiao Lin did not ask Xiao Yu too much what to do.
As Xiao Yu said, everyone's choice is different. You can't force it to change it, you can only stop it. In the end, you still have to control your own destiny.
"Boohoo!" A burning sound came, and a purple-gold flame burst out of Xiaoyu's left palm. This was the fifth-level demon fire, the elixir fire of the Purple Flame Tiger King.
Then Xiaoyu released his soul power, merged into the purple-gold flame, and controlled it to change into different forms according to what he wanted, sometimes turning into a palm-sized rabbit, sometimes turning into a sparrow, sometimes turning into a fierce tiger
…
Early the next morning, after Xiaoyu washed up, she left the inn and walked towards the wine pavilion following the route she had inquired with the waiter.
The Wine Pavilion is a sect established by the wine masters of the Han Dynasty and is located in every city of the Han Dynasty. Only those who pass the assessment of the Wine Pavilion can be considered a true wine master.
Across two streets, a majestic palace-like building appeared in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. On the door plaque were engraved several large characters: "Boulder City Liquor Pavilion Branch"
"We're finally here." Xiao Yu stepped forward, but when he was at the door, he was blocked by two strong guards.
"Boy, what are you doing here?" One of them, a burly man with a cultivation level of the first level of Foundation Establishment, asked.
"Assessing the sommelier." Xiaoyu simply replied before walking in again.
However, the burly man stopped Xiaoyu once again, stretched out his generous palm and said: "Sommelier recommendation letter."
"Uh...what kind of recommendation letter? I've never heard of it." Xiaoyu was confused.
"Every sommelier who takes the test will have a letter from a recommender, proving that he is qualified for the sommelier test. Otherwise, he will not be allowed to take the test. Go back." Looking at Xiaoyu's shocked look, he knew that he did not have a recommendation letter.
So the strong man refused to let Xiaoyu go in.
"It's really troublesome. I won't take the exam anymore." Xiao Yu was also decisive. Since he couldn't get in, he turned around and left.
But just as he turned around, Xiaoyu's face bumped into a pair of elastic soft bodies, and a faint fragrance penetrated into Xiaoyu's nostrils.
"Damn, we got into trouble!" Xiao Yu quickly took two steps back, raised her head and said apologetically: "This fairy is really sorry, Xiao did not mean to offend."
Standing in front of Xiao Yu at this moment is a tall woman with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a small cherry mouth, and delicate facial features as if they were made from heaven. She wears a snake bun and her towering breasts are looming in a black gauze skirt. She is dressed like a woman.
"It's okay!" The woman looked a little indifferent, looked Xiao Yu up and down, and suddenly asked unexpectedly: "What are you doing here?"
"Back to Fairy, I came here to take the sommelier exam, but something happened on the way, my recommendation letter was lost, and I was turned away, so I was about to leave." Xiaoyu made up a lie casually.
"So that's it. Come with me and I'll take you in." After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, the woman in black nodded and walked towards the wine pavilion.
"I have met Deputy Pavilion Master Yao." When the woman in black walked to the door of the wine pavilion, the two guards immediately saluted respectfully.
"No matter who comes to take the assessment in the future, and no matter whether they have a letter of recommendation, they are not allowed to be embarrassed. This is the Liquor Branch of Boulder City of the Han Dynasty. No one dares to deceive." The cold eyes of the woman in black looked from both sides.
A guard scanned his body and explained.
"Yes, I obey my orders." The two guards solemnly replied.
"It turns out that she is the deputy master of the Boulder City Wine Pavilion branch, Yao Qing, the fourth sommelier who is in the stage of infant transformation." Before coming, Xiaoyu had already asked the waiter at the inn to find out some information about the wine pavilion.
Things, including the introduction of Yao Qing.
Yao Qing is almost 200 years old this year. Because she has taken wine elixir that has beauty-retaining effects, she looks like a woman in her twenties. She has shown a strong talent as a winemaker when she was young.
After breaking through to the fourth level of sommelier, he became the deputy master of the Jushi Chengjiu Pavilion branch.
"No wonder she was so heroic and said she could take me in. It turns out there is such a big story behind her." Xiao Yu muttered to herself, and then followed Yao Qing into the wine pavilion.
