Elder Ruan looked at Xiao Yu who suddenly appeared, his expression obviously startled, and then glanced at the red liquid in the white jade bottle in his hand, and asked with some doubt: "Did you succeed?"
"It's just a fluke." Xiao Yu smiled lightly with a pale face, and walked towards Elder Ruan and others.
In fact, Xiaoyu had already completed the purification of the Mars Stone, but it would arouse the suspicion of others, so he stayed in the alchemy room until the last moment, then slowly walked out, pretending to be weak.
"Please ask Elder Ruan to identify whether the medicinal liquid purified by this boy is qualified!" Xiao Yu confidently presented the purified fire source liquid to Elder Ruan's eyes.
At this time, other people also looked over, and they were all a little curious as to what kind of material Xiaoyu was purifying, and why it took so long.
"That's... the source of fire liquid. I'm not mistaken, am I right?" An old man who recognized the origin of the red liquid liquid exclaimed.
"Yes, it is indeed the original liquid of fire, and there are so many liquids proposed that the original Mars stone will not be small." Another elder exclaimed.
At this moment, everyone in the alchemy room was shocked by the words "fire source liquid". It is extremely difficult to refine the spark stone into liquid, and even a fourth sommelier will spend a lot of time.
And Xiaoyu actually extracted so much medicinal liquid in just one stick of incense, which naturally made everyone marvel. Even Wei Yun and others looked slightly solemn as they stared at the bottle of fire source liquid.
Elder Ruan looked at the fire source liquid, and his expression changed again and again. He originally wanted to embarrass Xiao Yu and make him look foolish in public, but he didn't want to be slapped by Xiao Yu again.
"Okay, let me see if you have really reached the standard purity." Elder Ruan was a little unwilling, glanced at Xiao Yu with a gloomy face, and reached out to take the fire source liquid.
The others were slightly startled when they heard this. No matter whether the purity of the fire source liquid proposed by Xiaoyu met the standard or not, just because it could refine Mars stones, they were qualified to pass the test.
But Elder Ruan didn't seem to want to let Xiao Yu go so easily, and directly checked the purity of the medicine. Before thinking about Elder Ruan's various attitudes towards Xiao Yu, everyone already knew it. Elder Ruan was jealous of talents and was deliberately making things difficult.
.
Elder Ruan opened the jade bottle with a gloomy look, and a scorching heat wave rushed towards him. Then Elder Ruan took out a long silver needle, dipped some medicinal liquid in it, and watched it intently.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the hall were attracted by the silver needle. They all wanted to know what level of purity the medicinal liquid proposed by Xiaoyu had reached.
After the silver needle absorbed the medicinal liquid, a golden light suddenly flashed from the silver needle. Seeing this scene, someone immediately exclaimed: "It turns out to be a high-level one. This Xiaoyu is really not simple."
At this moment, Xiao Yu's status in everyone's hearts continued to rise. Even Elder Ruan stopped his contempt. Although Xiao Yu was not the only one to refine the medicinal liquid to a high level, Xiao Yu's refining was the most difficult to refine.
The Mars Stone, based on this alone, is enough for him to become the first place in this internal sommelier assessment.
"Haha, I haven't been this happy for a long time. Xiaoyu, you really surprise me!" Su Ji excitedly patted Xiaoyu's shoulder, feeling quite proud.
Yao Qing's beautiful face also showed a sweet smile. Xiao Yu's unexpected performance this time made Boulder City shine, and she could finally feel proud.
Lei Ning's beautiful big eyes turned, and when he looked at Xiao Yu, his eyes shone with excitement, as if he was staring at a treasure.
Zi Yan Qingcheng's face was calm, but deep in her eyes, there was a look of joy, and she said softly: "Xiao Yu, no matter what the cost, I will win you into Prince Zi's Mansion."
Although Wei Yun, Liu Feng, and Liu Ying'er were also surprised by Xiao Yu's strength, they didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the strength of a wine master does not depend on this, but the wine master competition is where they fight passionately.
Everyone's reactions were caught in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction. The effect he wanted was finally achieved, and Xiao Yu had no doubt that once the matter of today's assessment was spread, it would definitely cause drunkenness.
As long as the top officials in the cabinet pay attention to him and discover his potential, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
At this point, the internal sommelier assessment has been successfully concluded. Of the 18 elite sommeliers, only ten succeeded in the promotion. Among them, Xiao Yu, Wei Yun, Liu Han, and Liu Ying'er performed the best and skipped the sommelier title.
The first round of the competition.
"Mr. Su, let's go." Xiao Yu looked relaxed, greeted Su Ji, and walked towards the alchemy room together.
However, just as Xiao Yu, Su Ji, and Yao Qing were talking and laughing and preparing to leave the alchemy room, Lei Ning suddenly sprang out from the side in a strange way and grabbed one of Xiao Yu's arms.
"Xiaoyu, you promised me that you were going to see your father and you were not allowed to escape!" Lei Ning said with a little pout.
Xiao Yu glanced at Lei Ning in astonishment, smiled, struggled her arm out, and said, "Girl, be more reserved, or you won't be able to get married in the future."
"You can't get married!" Lei Ning glared at Xiaoyu angrily, stopped in front of him and said, "If you don't go to see daddy with me today, you are not allowed to leave!"
"Haha, don't worry, I still have some things to do. After I finish handling them, I will go and see Mr. Lei." Xiao Yu replied with a smile.
However, Lei Ning shook his head like a rattle and said in disbelief: "Unless you are willing to let me follow, I still can't let you go."
"If you insist, let it be." Xiao Yu replied calmly, and then walked out of the alchemy room with Su Ji and others.
However, not far from the alchemy room, Xiao Yu saw Liu Ying'er, Zi Yan, and Mu Zhan waiting for him in front.
Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands slightly and asked, "What do you three mean by this?"
"Young master Xiao, don't worry, I'm not that stingy." Liu Ying'er smiled and said in a soft voice: "Tonight, there will be a party at my palace, and all the young talents from Asia Sky Dragon City will attend.
I wonder if Mr. Xiao can give me a favor?"
After listening to Liu Ying'er's explanation, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since it is the three princesses making an appointment, how dare Xiao not disobey."
"Okay, then I will be waiting for Mr. Xiao to come and say goodbye!" Liu Ying'er bowed slightly and left gracefully.
Zi Yan didn't stay too long, said hello to Xiao Yu, and left with Liu Yinger. However, before leaving, Zi Yan glanced at him with a strange look, which made Xiao Yu a little confused.
But Xiaoyu didn't think much and returned to the reception room on the fourth floor of the wine tower with Su Ji and others.
"Xiao Yu, you mentioned on the way that there is something that requires help from the wine pavilion. What is it?" Su Ji asked with some confusion.
Xiaoyu didn't make any excuses, and said simply and directly: "I need a soul grass. The older the better, but Mr. Su can rest assured that I don't get it for nothing. I am willing to spend the Origin Stone to buy it."
"Soul grass, this kind of medicinal material is extremely rare. I was lucky enough to see it once at the wine pavilion headquarters more than ten years ago, but it was used by the chief pavilion master to refine the soul nourishing pill. As the wine master this time
The prize of the competition, but don’t be disappointed, I will try my best to help you find out other information." Su Ji did not ask why Xiaoyu wanted soul medicine, but promised to help him find it together.
After listening to Su Ji's explanation, Xiao Yu was not too disappointed. He didn't have much hope in the first place. He clasped his hands slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your kind words. I won't bother you too much and take my leave."
"Well, since you still have important things to do, I won't do anything to persuade you to stay. There are still ten days until the sommelier competition. If you need anything else, just come to me." Su Ji said with a smile on his face.
He sent Xiaoyu to the door and gave instructions.
"If you really need it, I won't be polite." Xiao Yu smiled and cupped his hand.
Xiaoyu heard the wooing in Su Ji's words. Although he didn't agree completely, he didn't refuse either. Then he left the reception room with Lei Ning and Mu Wanlong.
After walking out of the wine tower, Xiaoyu inquired about the location of the inn, then asked Mu Wanlong to go back to the inn to wait, and then walked towards the Purple Prince's Mansion with Lei Ning.
Xiao Yu was silent along the way and was not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery. He was really worried about whether a soul nourishing pill could awaken Xiao Lin. Lei Ning also looked hesitant and looked at Xiao Yu several times to say something.
Stop again.
Xiaoyu, who was deep in thought, finally noticed Lei Ning's strange look as he approached Ziwang's Mansion, and couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Actually...that..." Lei Ning looked very embarrassed and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"If you have any concerns, don't say anything. We are almost at the Purple Prince's Mansion. I don't know how Mr. Lei is doing now." Xiao Yu smiled calmly and changed the subject.
"Dad, he is in good health, don't worry." Lei Ning comforted him softly, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, saying, "Xiaoyu, I have something important to tell you."
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu showed a hint of curiosity.
"Actually, there is a kind of soul medicine in Ziwang Mansion called Jiuji Soul Saliva. Few people outside know about it. I also accidentally heard my father mention it." Lei Ning explained with a troubled expression.
When Xiaoyu heard these words, he suddenly became excited. This Jiuji Soul Saliva is the top category of soul medicinal materials, and its value far exceeds the Earth Soul Fruit.
The medicine is so powerful that it can even cause a beast to directly produce advanced spiritual intelligence, and the Yin spirit can evolve into a ghost king. If he can obtain the saliva of the Jiuji Soul, Xiao Yu is fully confident that he can awaken Xiao Lin from his sleep.
However, Xiao Yu was not carried away by the excitement. Since the Ziwang Mansion has been keeping the news of Jiuji Soul Saliva sealed, it can be seen that this medicine is extremely important to them, and they will definitely send people to strictly guard it. It is not that easy to steal it.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu had an idea in his mind. He looked at Lei Ning and said softly: "Lei Ning, thank you for telling me the news. Let's go. Don't keep Mr. Lei waiting anxiously."
Lei Ning pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head nonchalantly, and led Xiaoyu quickly towards the Purple Prince's Mansion.
