The architectural form of the wine pavilion is the wine tower, which is divided into nine floors. Each floor has a special function. The seventh floor has eighteen alchemy rooms. Usually few people come here. They are only for internal assessment of the wine pavilion or for elite disciples to enter.
It will only be enabled when you are a senior sommelier.
At this moment, Xiao Yu, Yao Qing, and Mu Wanlong arrived at the door of an alchemy room on the seventh floor of the wine pavilion. The copper door, which was about ten feet high, was like a thick wall, lying in front of it, with the source pattern on it.
Flashing, the layout has profound restrictions.
Yao Qing stepped forward, stretched out a white jade hand, and with ten slender fingers, gently pinched a seal. He moved forward a little, and a wisp of fire immediately shot out, hitting the copper that was about ten feet high.
On the door.
"Boom"! The bronze door trembled and made a dull sound. The source patterns on it stirred and spread to both sides. The bronze door slowly rose upwards, revealing the alchemy room inside.
"Go in." Yao Qing twisted his waist and stepped in.
Xiaoyu nodded calmly and followed closely, but Mu Wanlong was slightly hesitant and was very excited. The wine pavilion is the temple of wine masters. How could an ordinary person like him have the opportunity to enter such a sacred place?
place.
However, just when Mu Wanlong was excited beyond words, the bronze door suddenly dropped and seemed to be closing. Mu Wanlong was so frightened that he immediately jumped in and did not dare to hesitate and sneak in before the door closed.
"Huh!" Mu Wanlong gasped after entering the alchemy room. If he hadn't woken up quickly, he would have almost missed this opportunity.
Glancing at Mu Wanlong who was panting, Xiao Yu showed a faint smile, and then turned around to look at the entire alchemy room.
This alchemy room is hundreds of feet wide, and the entire room is made of bronze, shining with a metallic luster. More than ten feet in front of Xiaoyu, there are dozens of separate individual alchemy rooms.
Yao Qing also explained the functions of these alchemy rooms to Xiao Yu, and they were used for assessment. A few feet in front of these alchemy rooms, there were about thirty people, in groups of three or three, talking about something.
Seeing Xiao Yu and the others coming in at this moment, these people all looked over, but each person's behavior was different. Some just looked at them briefly and stopped paying attention, while others frowned in thought, or showed an expression of interest.
But among these people, there were two eyes looking at them, which were extremely cold and full of hostility. Xiaoyu couldn't help but frown and looked towards those two eyes. However, Xiaoyu found this
After seeing who the two eyes belonged to, he was suddenly startled.
These two people were a man and a woman. Xiao Yu was familiar with them and had crossed paths with them. One was Wei Yun, who was discovered by Xiao Yu to have committed a treasonous act of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, and the other was related to him for killing his father.
The one I hate is Dongmei, the daughter of the Venomous Snake Hall Master of Wolf King City in the Great Yan Dynasty.
"It's not a good thing to meet the two of them here." Xiao Yu whispered in his heart.
These two people are very strong now. One has reached the peak of the ninth level of Phantom Spirit, and the other has reached the first level of Phantom Spirit. However, with Xiaoyu's current cultivation level, he is not without fear. What's more, this is the headquarters of the wine pavilion, and these two people are not afraid.
He didn't dare to mess around, so Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention.
At this time, Su Ji, who was with the elders and others from other Chengchi Wine Pavilion branches, also discovered Xiao Yu and the others. He called them over with a smile and introduced some elders or owners of other wine pavilions branches to Xiao Yu.
"So this is Xiaoyou. He is indeed a talented person. No wonder Pavilion Master Su keeps praising him." The speaker was an old man wearing a blue gown, who was also the Pavilion Master of the Wulan City Liquor Pavilion Branch.
"Pavilion Master Tan is so impressive. There are so many elites in this sommelier competition, I dare not claim to be the best!" Xiao Yu clasped his hands in his fists and said modestly.
"My little friend, please don't be modest. I have been a fourth sommelier for two hundred years, and I still have some insights. In this sommelier competition, my little friend will definitely soar into the sky." Pavilion Master Tan praised with a kind smile.
The second sommelier test was conducted at the age of eighteen. Even the wine king Liu Feng was only like this when he was young. Moreover, three years later, with Xiao Yu’s talent, if there are no accidents, he should be able to successfully advance to the third sommelier level. Of course, all this information about Xiao Yu
, Tan Chong heard about it from Su Ji. With Su Ji's status, he would not cheat, so Tan Chong looked at Xiao Yu so highly and praised him constantly.
"Pavilion Master Tan..." Xiaoyu looked slightly respectful and wanted to thank the other party for the compliment.
However, before Xiao Yu could say anything, a hoarse voice, like a broken gong, suddenly came from the side.
"Hmph, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Can be recommended by wine shops from all over the world. Whoever participates in this sommelier assessment is not a seed-level contestant. You should not be complacent, or you may get a bloody head.
." The speaker was an old woman wearing a red robe, and her words were full of provocation.
Hearing these sarcastic words, Xiao Yu secretly raised his eyebrows, raised his head and looked at the old woman, and said with an unchanging expression: "What Elder Ruan taught me is that the elites of the wine master competition gathered here, so they must be restrained.
Don’t be complacent.”
Xiao Yu's words were extremely ironic. Even those elders or masters from the eighteen wine pavilions branches changed their expressions slightly when they heard this sentence, or showed half-smiling expressions, secretly sighing at Xiao Yu's courage.
As big as the sky.
This elder Ruan is not an ordinary person, but one of the elders at the Wine Pavilion headquarters. He is also the inspector of the internal assessment of the Wine Pavilion. Usually his eyes are higher than the top, and few people can get into her eyes. Now Xiao Yu rashly
If you offend her, the consequences can be imagined.
"Humph, you little boy with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. I'm just waiting to see what you are capable of." Although Elder Ruan was angry in his heart, fortunately he did not forget where this place was and did not take the opportunity to attack. He was just cold.
He snorted and walked away.
"Hey, Xiaoyou, you are too impulsive. Young people need to be calm." Tan Chong shook his head in disappointment, turned and walked away.
"Master Tan Pavilion is right. Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't be rash. I'm afraid you'll be sad if you offend Elder Ruan in this assessment." An elder from the Liquor Pavilion branch from Bei'an City also shook his head and sighed.
Not only these two people, but also several other wine pavilion elders from major cities across the country shook their heads with regret, turned around and left the place, as if they were eager to distance themselves from Xiao Yu.
In fact, it's no wonder these people are like this. Elder Ruan is not only arrogant, but also narrow-minded and loves to hold grudges. If they continue to side with Xiao Yu, they are likely to be implicated. After all, the referee of this wine master competition,
It is also Elder Ruan. If she wants to target someone and do something during the competition, it will be easy. They have to consider the prospects of their own contestants.
Su Ji's heart also sank. He seemed not to have expected that Xiao Yu would be so restless and unwilling to take any losses. However, his expression did not reveal anything. He smiled and comforted: "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I believe it."
you."
"Yes, Xiaoyu, you just have to perform normally and try your best. Don't be burdened." Yao Qing comforted him with a smile.
Xiao Yu nodded calmly, not too worried. Since he wanted to get the attention of the wine pavilion, Xiao Yu would naturally not hide it. When he should be arrogant, he must be arrogant.
Pay attention to attract the attention of the senior management of the wine pavilion.
"Mr. Su, Fairy Yao, you two can rest assured, I will not humiliate Boulder City." Xiao Yu said with confidence in his eyes.
Su Ji and Yao Qing were slightly startled when they saw this. They were originally afraid that Xiao Yu would have some burden in his heart, but they never thought that he would not take it to heart. At the moment, the two of them could only smile awkwardly and talk to Xiao Yu about other things.
things.
At this time, Wei Yun and Dong Mei suddenly walked towards Xiao Yu. Wei Yun was dressed in white, with a majestic appearance, and his gestures were graceful, showing the demeanor of a gentleman.
"Brother Xiao, it's been three years since we last saw each other. I wonder if Brother Xiao still remembers me?" Wei Yun asked enthusiastically with a smile on his face, his hands clasped in his fists.
After taking a look at this person, Xiao Yu felt wary. There was no friendship between him and Wei Yun at all. At most, Xiao Yu witnessed with his own eyes the process of Wei Yun deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. However, this person suddenly came to talk to him.
Obviously he didn't have any good intentions.
"It turns out to be Brother Wei. After three years of not seeing him, Brother Wei has become even more handsome. Xiao You really didn't recognize him for a while." Xiao Yu replied with a smile without changing his expression.
"Hey, it turns out that the two of you have known each other for a long time. I originally wanted to introduce each other to you." Su Ji glanced at the familiar faces of the two and said with a hint of confusion.
"Well, Xiao met Brother Wei several times when he went to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range for training in his early years. Moreover, thanks to Brother Wei's love, he gave Xiao a chance in vain." Xiao Yu looked at it meaningfully.
Wei Yun said with a glance.
"Hmph!" Wei Yun snorted coldly in his heart. How could he not recognize the sarcasm in Xiao Yu's words? If it hadn't been for the fire ginseng growing at the bottom of the magma lake, how could it be Xiao Yu's turn to go?
However, Xiao Yu did not tell the real story, which surprised him, but Wei Yun didn't think much about it. He came here to check Xiao Yu's story. Since the other party chose not to tell, it was in line with his thoughts.
"Brother Xiao, you're welcome. Since you discovered it, this opportunity will naturally belong to you. How can Wei take it by force?" Wei Yun's expression was dull, and he suddenly showed a sunny smile and asked: "I heard Pavilion Master Su say,
Brother Xiao is going to participate in the Sommelier Competition on behalf of Jushicheng this time, and Wei has been excited for a long time, finally having the opportunity to compete with Brother Xiao."
"Is this a declaration of war?!" A sneer appeared in Xiao Yu's heart, and she replied calmly: "Xiao is also looking forward to it, and I hope that Brother Wei will not disappoint Xiao."
"Haha, Brother Xiao is still as confident as ever. Let's meet at the sommelier competition and say goodbye." Wei Yun cupped his hands and left with a smile.
Dongmei never said a word from beginning to end, but before leaving, she glanced at Xiaoyu with cold eyes, then turned around and followed Wei Yun.
Looking at Dongmei's back, a cold light flashed deep in Xiaoyu's eyes. He sensed murderous intent from Dongmei's body. This was not a good sign.
At this time, others also noticed the explosive confrontation between the geniuses Wei Yun and Xiao Yu, and all the eyes of the audience turned to look at it in an instant.
