At this moment, the temperature in the alchemy room was bone-chilling, as if you were in a world of ice and snow. The heat wave turned into a cold wind, raging in the alchemy room. Fortunately, everyone in the alchemy room was not an ordinary person. With the flow of source power, they were able to resist it.
Biting chill.
Xiaoyu used a golden light curtain to envelop Mu Wanlong, staring at the three people in the field solemnly, and said softly: "These three people are not simple, especially Wei Yun, Compressed Cold Fire
His methods are extremely proficient, far superior to mine. It is rumored that he has already broken through to the fourth level of sommelier. This statement is 100% true. This sommelier competition must not be taken lightly."
It wasn't just Xiaoyu who was surprised at this moment. The masters or elders of the major city pavilions in the alchemy room were all shocked by the three people's skillful fire control skills, and they whispered to each other.
"The third princess is indeed the favorite disciple of the Bacchus King. She is so proficient in the art of fire control that I feel inferior to her!"
"Young Master Liu is not weak either. His talent is astonishing. The Wine King has accepted a good disciple!"
"Several people are right. The talent of these two sommeliers is really rare, and their achievements in the future will definitely be very high. However, I am more optimistic about Wei Xiaoyou. In terms of identity and background, this boy is not as good as Mr. Liu, let alone the third princess. However, this
The talent of a sommelier is rare in a century, so he will definitely be among the top three in this sommelier competition."
"Brother Dao is right. This wine master competition will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers. However, brother Dao has also forgotten about one person. In terms of talent, Xiao Yu is not bad either. This time he may become a dark horse and become a blockbuster!"
Before the assessment officially started, everyone in the alchemy room started talking about it. Needless to say, Wei Yun and the three of them were all talented people. Even Xiao Yu was highly praised by everyone.
However, if it weren't for this sommelier competition, few people would know about Xiao Yu. In terms of popularity, he couldn't compare with the top three. Naturally, some people would not take it lightly and sneer at him.
But Xiao Yu didn't pay attention. At this moment, his eyes were attracted by Wei Yun and the others. These three people were extremely skilled in fire control, and could even compare with some older people.
Plants or animals with strange shapes appeared one after another in the palms of the three people, and the temperature of the flame was always suppressed to the lowest level by the three people, without increasing by one point.
"There shouldn't be any suspense anymore!" Xiao Yu shook his head, retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Su Ji, as if he wanted to say something.
However, at this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly reached Xiao Yu's ears, and many people even shook their heads and expressed regret. Xiao Yu frowned slightly and turned his head with doubts in his eyes.
Liu Ying'er lowered her head slightly, her cold and arrogant eyes looked at the source fire in the palm of her hand with a bit of unwillingness, and the flame returned to normal temperature. She was a little distracted for a moment.
"Although the third princess only made nine flame forms, it is still extremely amazing."
"Yes, even if I was distracted and suppressed the temperature of the flame, I couldn't reach this point, so the third princess doesn't have to be discouraged at all."
From the comments and comforting sounds of the crowd around her, Xiaoyu understood what had happened. When Yuan Huo changed into the ninth form, she finally failed due to lack of soul power.
But Xiaoyu did not despise Liu Ying'er because of this. He could easily change twelve flame forms, which was closely related to his soul power reaching the middle stage of the human soul. However, Liu Ying'er had just peeked into the human soul realm, but
It is extremely rare to be able to change the nine flame forms.
Although the third princess was a little disappointed, she was not an ordinary person after all. She quickly regained her composure and regained her cold and arrogant look. Moreover, in the first level of the assessment, she only needed to skillfully change nine flame forms to pass. What's more?
The third princess also increased the difficulty and naturally passed the level.
As for the remaining Wei Yun and Liu Han, there was no suspense. They both easily completed the transformation of the twelve flame forms. Wei Yun even added an extra flame form, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
, which caused a lot of exclamations from everyone.
"Interesting, are you going to declare war on me?" Xiao Yu looked at Wei Yun's eyes, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
After Wei Yun and the other three left, people came on stage one after another to take the assessment. Of course, the assessment standards were also lowered to the original level. Without any surprises, all 18 sommeliers who participated in the internal assessment passed.
"First of all, I congratulate you all for passing the first test!" Elder Ruan looked at the eighteen young wine masters with an indifferent expression and said solemnly: "But don't be too happy too early. In the next second test,
This can be considered the real assessment.”
After saying this, Elder Ruan glanced at Xiao Yu specifically, but his eyes were not very friendly, but Xiao Yu didn't care, smiled calmly, and ignored him.
"Hmph, arrogant boy, let's see if you can still laugh later." Elder Ruan whispered darkly.
Then Elder Ruan withdrew his eyes, looked at the other wine masters participating in the assessment and said: "This second level of assessment is about the purification of medicinal materials, but don't think it will be that simple. There are a total of twenty-eight alchemy rooms here.
Each alchemy room has different medicinal materials. You will each choose one later. As for the difficulty of the medicinal materials you will encounter, it all depends on your luck. Also, you only have one stick of incense. If the time is up,
, or if the purity of the medicinal materials does not meet the requirements, the assessment will fail, and the loser will participate in the first round of the Sommelier Competition like everyone else. Now you can choose a room."
Before participating in the internal assessment, the elite wine masters recommended by the major cities had already learned the rules of the assessment, so they all stepped forward without any surprises, each selected an alchemy room and entered.
After Xiaoyu looked around the twenty-eight alchemy rooms, he selected the third one from the left. However, just as Xiaoyu was about to walk over, Elder Ruan suddenly stopped him.
"Elder Ruan, what does this mean?" Xiao Yu asked warily in his heart.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that the old woman has reserved a special alchemy room for you. I wonder if you have the courage to give it a try?" Elder Ruan asked with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Thank you, Elder Ruan, for your love for Xiao Yu!" After hearing this, Su Ji suddenly came over with a smile on his face, clasped his hands and said, "But Elder Ruan loves Xiao Yu so much, it can easily be misunderstood.
It’s better to let Xiaoyu make his own choice, it’s not unfair.”
"It's fair, you don't have to worry about this, the old woman won't cheat for personal gain, what do you think, Xiaoyou?" Elder Ruan asked with a half-smile.
"Old witch, if you don't cheat for personal gain, even a sow can climb a tree!" Xiao Yu cursed in his heart, and said without changing his expression: "Of course, Elder Ruan is upright, how can he give special treatment to the younger generation?"
"You are very good at talking. Well, I don't want to talk to you anymore. It's the first alchemy room on the right. It's up to you whether to choose or not." Elder Ruan, who looked cold, turned around after saying this.
And go.
"Xiao Yu, this person has no good intentions, you must not be fooled." Su Ji reminded with some worry.
"There's no need to worry, Mr. Su. Trust me, I won't let you down." Xiao Yu comforted Su Ji with a confident expression and walked towards the first alchemy room on the right.
The first alchemy room on the right, needless to say the medicinal materials in it, must be the most difficult of the twenty-eight alchemy rooms. Xiaoyu chose this alchemy room not because he was arrogant, but because he had other purposes.
.
Wei Yun, Liu Han, Liu Ying'er and others also noticed what happened here, but they didn't say anything. They each chose a room and went in. Only Wei Yun looked at it with deep meaning before entering the alchemy room.
A glance at Xiaoyu.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but without much reaction, he opened the door of the alchemy room and walked in calmly.
The alchemy room was about three feet in size. There was a bronze wine cauldron in the middle, and next to it was a stone table with some equipment for refining wine elixirs and a red stone about the size of a fist.
This crimson stone was condensed with ripples of flames. A faint heat emanated from the stone, and the temperature of the alchemy room was doubled.
"Mars Stone!" Xiaoyu exclaimed.
"Old witch, you are so cruel!" Looking at the Martian Stone, Xiaoyu looked a little ugly.
Mars stone is a dual-purpose material. It is extracted from meteorites. It can be used to forge fire magic weapons, and can also be used to refine fire source liquid and refine fire wine elixirs.
However, this material is extremely strong and difficult to refine, and ordinary flames have no effect on it.
Xiao Yu stepped forward to the stone table, covered his palms with source power, and took the Mars Stone into his hands. A hot power immediately spread from Xiao Yu's palms.
Looking at the Mars Stone in his hand, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, and suddenly used the demon fire of the Purple Flame Tiger King. The purple-gold flame turned into a fire ball, covering the Mars Stone and burning brightly.
The sound of fierce flames reached Xiao Yu's ears from time to time, but Xiao Yu was not happy at all, and his brows gradually furrowed. Although the fifth-level demonic fire also had an effect on the Mars Stone, the refining speed was too slow. Within one stick of incense,
, absolutely cannot be completed.
"That's all, let's try it with Huan Yu Yan." Xiao Yu said softly and withdrew the purple-gold flame.
Immediately, a sea-blue flame suddenly burst out from Xiaoyu's palm and burned fiercely. The temperature of the space also rose rapidly at this moment, gradually becoming distorted.
The alchemy room is equipped with restrictions to hide the aura, so Xiaoyu is not worried about being discovered that he possesses strange fire.
Under the refining of Huan Yuyan, the Mars Stone melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually turned into a red liquid.
Time passed slowly, and the incense candle used for timing was about to be burned out. The wine masters in other alchemy rooms also walked out of the alchemy room with the medicinal liquid they had purified, and accepted Elder Ruan's inspection one after another.
Among them, the medicinal materials extracted by Wei Yun, Liu Han, and Liu Ying'er were the purest, which aroused everyone's emotion.
However, Xiao Yu never showed up. Su Ji and Yao Qing were very worried, and some even started to sneer at him.
Elder Ruan glanced at the incense candle that was about to burn out, with a sinister smile on his face, and suddenly said: "The time is almost up. I think Xiaoyu's purification failed and he has no face. I announce..."
However, at this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly pushed open the door of the alchemy room, walked out with a slightly pale face, and said with a smile: "The time has not come yet, Elder Ruan, you must be too impatient."
