The soul-nourishing pill is a rare sixth-grade soul-type wine pill. The greatest effect of this pill is that it can enhance the soul power of immortal cultivators. It is also the favorite wine pill among wine masters.
You must know that the prerequisite for becoming a wine master is to have strong enough soul power, so that when refining the wine elixir, you can accurately grasp the time and the temperature of the flame. Different medicinal materials require different flame temperatures.
It is a great test of the perception of soul power.
But it is also extremely difficult to improve soul power. Although the improvement of cultivation level also helps to increase soul power, it is extremely slow and difficult to make breakthroughs. Soul power is mainly divided into four realms, human soul realm, immortal realm.
Most of the immortal cultivators are in the human soul realm. Even the most powerful immortals can hardly break through this level. The same is true for Xiaoyu now. His soul power is in the middle stage of the human soul realm, and this is different from what Xiaoyu took when he was young.
The medicine king that once strengthened the soul also has a great relationship.
However, there are very few medicinal materials to enhance soul power, and it is extremely difficult to refine soul-type wine pills. Therefore, as soon as soul-type wine pills appear, they will be robbed by wine masters, and even bloodshed will occur. Now the wine pavilion has taken out a
A soul-nourishing pill was the prize for the first place in the wine master competition. How could Xiao Yu not be tempted by it?
"If you can get this soul-nourishing pill, you should be able to awaken your ancestor, right?" Xiao Yu whispered with some uncertainty in his heart.
If Xiao Lin can wake up in time before going to the wine king Liu Feng's appointment, then Xiao Yu will have greater confidence in his trip. Therefore, no matter how difficult the wine master competition is, Xiao Yu will not give up this soul nourishing pill to others.
"Mr. Su, since the prizes in the Sommelier Competition are so generous, are there any restrictions on participating in the competition?" Xiao Yu asked thoughtfully.
"You guessed it right. There are indeed restrictions. The age cannot exceed thirty years old. In order to prevent others from fishing in troubled waters, all contestants must undergo detailed inspections before participating." Su Ji nodded and said.
"This is not unfair." Xiao Yu felt relieved slightly.
Glancing at Xiao Yu who breathed a sigh of relief, Su Ji suddenly said with a smile: "Don't be too happy. Before the sommelier competition is held, the sommeliers who represent the winery branches from various places who participate in the competition will have to compete in a competition.
Internal assessment.”
"Why is this?" Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a trace of doubt welling up in his heart.
"Let Yao Qing explain this to you." Su Ji turned around and glanced at Yao Qing.
Yao Qing nodded lightly and opened his mouth slightly: "As the candidates recommended by the eighteen wine pavilion branches across the country, the elite contestants of this wine master competition can directly enter the second round of the competition, but in order to prevent someone from
If you cheat, the Wine Pavilion will first conduct an internal assessment. This is also done to maintain fairness and avoid damaging the reputation of the Wine Pavilion."
After Yao Qing explained to Xiao Yu in detail, he glanced at Xiao Yu's lowered head and said with a smile: "But you don't need to feel any pressure. The internal assessment is just to test the performance of the winemakers recommended by each city.
Fire control and medicinal material purification, with your strength three years ago, as long as there are no accidents, you can pass the test smoothly."
"I'm very confident about this." Xiaoyu suddenly said with some arrogance.
It's not that Xiao Yu really looks down on others, but after three years of training, Xiao Yu has become a young fourth taster who is not weaker than Su Ji. If he doesn't even have this confidence, then he doesn't need to participate.
Sommelier competition.
"Haha, okay, I really saw the right person. Our Boulder City will definitely shine this time. Let's see what those old guys say then." Su Ji seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Yu's performance and laughed heartily.
Yao Qing also smiled but said nothing. The sommelier competition held once every ten years is not only a time for talented sommeliers to soar to the sky, but also a time for their branches of wine shops in various places to compete for status.
If Xiaoyu can win or enter the top three, then Boulder City will also rise and gain huge benefits. Su Ji will even be transferred to the headquarters as an elder. At that time, she, Yao Qing, can officially take over as Boulder City.
The Wine Pavilion has a branch.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, not guessing what Su Ji and Yao Qing were thinking. They were just using each other to get what they needed. Then he raised his head and asked: "Fairy Yao, I don't know when the internal assessment will start. Xiao
It’s better to be prepared.”
"Get ready, I'm afraid it's too late, the assessment will start after noon." Yao Qing shook his head and said with a smile.
Xiaoyu was stunned and blurted out: "So fast."
"Haha, it's not fast, it's just that you came at the right time." Yao Qing pursed his lips and smiled, and explained: "It turns out that Mr. Su and I were worried that if you fail to catch up with the internal assessment, you will have to participate in the first round of competition like everyone else.
But I never thought that just after I finished speaking, you would arrive."
"This is indeed a coincidence, but Xiao needs to say goodbye for a while first." Xiao Yu suddenly said apologetically.
"Oh, maybe my little friend has other things to do, so don't miss the assessment because of this." Su Ji reminded with some worry.
"Mr. Su misunderstood. Xiao has a friend who made an appointment with me to meet at the door of the wine pavilion an hour later." Xiao Yu explained simply.
Calculating the time, it was almost an hour since Xiao Yu and Su Ji met. Mu Wanlong couldn't just wait outside just because he was participating in the internal assessment.
"So this is what happened. I thought it was a big deal." After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Su Ji felt relieved, took a sip of tea and said, "Although this assessment is limited to the sommeliers,
But it’s not closed. If Xiaoyou’s friends are interested, they can visit it together.”
"That's fine. Thank you, Mr. Su." Xiao Yu politely gave him a fist.
Then Xiao Yu casually chatted with the two of them for a few words, then brought Mu Wanlong in, and under Yao Qing's arrangement, moved into a quiet room to wait for the internal assessment after noon.
"Mr. Xiao, it turns out that you are a sommelier, and you are also going to participate in this sommelier competition. I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to forgive me for any offense I caused before." Mu Wanlong said in a polite apology.
Although Mu Wanlong had some guesses when he led Xiao Yu to the wine pavilion, he didn't think much about it. He thought that Xiao Yu might have come to the wine pavilion to visit friends. After all, the conditions for becoming a wine master were too demanding, so how could it be such a coincidence?
He met one.
It wasn't until Xiao Yu brought him close to the wine pavilion and saw the guards inside the wine pavilion showing him respect that Mu Wanlong suddenly realized that Xiao Yu was actually a rare wine master, and he regretted stopping Xiao Yu in the street.
If you offend a sommelier, the consequences will be serious.
Xiaoyu sat on the chair covered with monster skins, glanced at Mu Wanlong's fearful expression, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded, and you don't need to call me Mr., just Mr.
Let me be Xiaoyu."
The title "sir" was too formal and inconsistent with Xiao Yu's dark and casual character, so he didn't like it very much.
Mu Wanlong, who was still worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the first half of Xiaoyu's words. However, after hearing the second half of the words, his heart that had just been relieved immediately became tense again, and he said with a respectful expression:
"Junior doesn't dare. If senior doesn't like the title sir, why don't I call you Young Master?"
"It's up to you." Xiaoyu shook her head and said indifferently.
The world of cultivating immortals is a real world where power is respected, and the hierarchy is very strict. Even a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, if his cultivation is advanced, even an old guy like Su Ji, who has practiced cultivation for more than a hundred years, will be respectfully called "senior" when he sees him.
But Xiao Yu had calculated everything. He was only 21 years old this year. When he was young and full of energy, he still felt a little uncomfortable when being called senior or sir. That's why he asked Mu Wanlong to change his words on a whim and teach him the ethics of his peers.
, since Mu Wanlong is not willing, Xiaoyu will not force it.
"Thank you so much, Master." Mu Wanlong secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously, "I wonder if you have any other instructions, Master?"
"Have you given any instructions? There will be an internal assessment inside the wine pavilion. Are you interested in visiting?" Xiao Yu asked calmly.
"Ah, can juniors also visit?" Mu Wanlong asked in surprise.
Xiaoyu nodded and said nothing. Seeing this, Mu Wanlong immediately felt happy. Every year when the wine master competition is held, there will be an elite assessment inside the wine pavilion. This is something everyone knows, but with Mu Wanlong's identity
, he has never had the opportunity to meet him, but now that he has the opportunity to increase his knowledge, he naturally does not want to miss it. Even if he brags to his friends in the future, he will have capital.
"Thank you for your love, young master. I will definitely do my best to serve you." Mu Wanlong said with joy in his heart.
"Well, I want to rest for a while now and wake me up when Pavilion Master Su comes." Xiaoyu gave a simple instruction and closed his eyes.
Since leaving Heishui Stream, Xiao Yu has been on the road without taking a moment's rest. She was very tired. Not long after, she heard a slight snore.
Mu Wanlong was also sensible enough not to make a sound. He quietly walked to a chair and sat down. He began to calculate Xiao Jiujiu in his mind. After all, it is difficult for a sommelier like Xiaoyu who has no weird temper and is generous to take action.
When he meets someone, Mu Wanlong will naturally serve him with all his heart and get more benefits.
After noon, Yao Qing suddenly arrived and woke Xiao Yu up. Xiao Yu stretched lazily. He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, and his energy had also been restored, so he was not afraid of the afternoon assessment.
"Fairy Yao, why don't you see Mr. Su?" Xiao Yu asked casually.
"Mr. Su, he will wait for you in the alchemy room for the assessment first. Let's go there quickly." Yao Qing said with a soft voice.
"Okay, Fairy Yao, please lead the way." Xiao Yu winked at Yao Qing with a flattering smile.
"Little guy, I think of teasing my sister again, be careful that she will destroy you." Yao Qing smiled as charmingly as a flower fairy, stretched out a white palm, and made a chopping motion towards Xiao Yu.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu's heart tightened and she thought to herself: "This girl is really cruel."
"Fairy Yao, let's go, so as not to make Mr. Su anxious." Xiao Yu restrained her thoughts and did not dare to tease her. Yao Qing's actions just now were not a joke, but a serious warning.
Yao Qing nodded lightly, then turned her seductive waist to lead the way. Xiao Yu greeted Mu Wanlong, and the three of them headed to the alchemy room for the internal assessment.
