Ningli wine is a second-grade high-grade medicinal wine. If a cultivator takes this wine, it can increase the strength of ten thousand kilograms, and it is easy to move mountains and crack rocks. However, although the effect of Ningli wine is extraordinary, its refining level is also very complicated.
It requires precise control of the temperature of the flame to achieve success, and the difficulty is no less than that of the Third Grade Wine Pill.
This recipe for the second-grade condensation wine only roughly includes the order of the medicinal materials. It does not mention the strength of the flame temperature or the length of time. It is really a half-use recipe.
Without this, there won't be much difference.
But Xiaoyu did not discard this wine recipe. Since the wine pavilion placed him here, there must be some purpose. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but Xiaoyu had not thought of the reason for a while.
At the VIP table, Zhao Wuji looked at the winetenders who were frowning and thinking in the square below. He did not show any signs of anxiety. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The recipe for this condensate wine has been carefully prepared by the wine pavilion.
It's a difficult problem. Whether they can discover the secret depends on their own understanding."
"The Sommelier Competition has been held for eighteen times, and I have been lucky enough to visit several times. It seems that the questions of this year are the most difficult. Brother Zhao has good intentions." Liu Che looked at it thoughtfully.
He glanced at Zhao Wuji and said with a smile.
"Hey, what Brother Liu said is true. The young people in this generation are all extremely talented. Judging from the current strength shown by the four Xiaoyus, they are not weaker than Liu Feng's performance when he was young. If not
If the level of difficulty is increased, there will be no point in continuing this sommelier competition." Zhao Wuji said with a faint smile.
"Old man Zhao, you have been the master of the wine pavilion for hundreds of years, and you are still so fond of making secrets. But I think your efforts will be in vain. I don't know about others, but Xiaoyu will definitely win." Lei Tuohai looked at it.
Xiaoyu said with a hint of confidence in her eyes.
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Wuji took a deep look at Xiao Yu's position thoughtfully, pondered for a while, and said: "Although this Xiao Yu has some strength and won the first place in the internal assessment, if he only
If this is the case, he may not be the final winner. You must know that the other three are not much weaker than Xiao Yu, but I am very strange, what is it about this person that Brother Lei values so much?"
"Old man Zhao, you don't need to trick me. I won't say anything now. You will understand naturally when the game is over." Lei Tuohai was an experienced man and dismissed Zhao Wuji in a few words.
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You, an old guy, have learned how to show off your mysteries. That's all. I will wait patiently for some time to see what kind of surprise this Xiaoyu will give me." Zhao Wuji shook his head and smiled, and then his eyes brightened.
He looked at Xiaoyu thoughtfully.
"You won't be disappointed." Lei Tuo was full of confidence, as if Xiaoyu was sure of the first place in this sommelier competition.
After all, if a talented wine master who can refine the fifth-grade wine elixir cannot even win such a childish competition, then there is something wrong. Moreover, in Lei Tuohai's eyes, Xiao Yu is not an ordinary fifth-grade wine drinker.
A wine master dares to claim to refine the Qi Source Pill. How can a fifth-grade wine pill with such complexity give even a sixth-class sommelier a headache? It cannot be simple.
Looking at the wine recipe in his hand in front of the stone platform, Xiao Yu frowned and thought. He had checked the wine recipe more than a dozen times, but still found nothing. Moreover, Xiao Yu secretly used his soul power to explore, but still found nothing.
This makes Xiao Yu a little doubtful. Is his previous judgment right or wrong? Or is there nothing unusual about this second wine recipe, and the success of Ningli Wine depends on his luck?
"Well, luck, it shouldn't be that simple, right?" Xiao Yu shook his head and overturned this idea.
Even if there is a complete wine recipe, one refining may not be successful, let alone a half-used wine recipe. Unless the wine house wants to eliminate all participating wine masters in the second round, it will never be done.
Come on, such an illusory thing.
"What's the problem?" Xiaoyu thought secretly for a moment, but still had no results, so he couldn't help but look up at the other three people.
Although Liu Han's expression was dull, his slightly wrinkled forehead revealed his inner feelings at the moment. He was also puzzled. Liu Ying'er also shook her head and thought hard. Only Wei Yun acted a little weird.
Wei Yun looked at the wine recipe in his hand, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, a ray of crimson flame appeared and disappeared at his fingertips, he wanted to light the wine recipe several times, but finally gave up the idea, it seemed a little fussy.
Undecided.
Seeing this strange scene, Xiao Yu's doubts intensified. He glanced at the source of fire offered by Wei Yun and then at the wine recipe in his hand. His heart suddenly shook, and he seemed to understand something.
At this time, Wei Yun seemed to have noticed Xiao Yu's eyes, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at him with a cold expression, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned to look away.
"Interesting, since this person noticed that I discovered his secret, he didn't take precautions. Instead, he provoked me with ridicule. Did he want to test the waters with me?" Xiao Yu sneered in his heart and whispered.
But Xiao Yu did not fall into the trap. This matter has yet to be deduced. Without complete certainty, he will not take action easily.
Time passed slowly in the square, as many bartenders meditated, and soon half an hour passed. At this time, the audience, which had remained silent, finally became a little restless.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you still competing?"
"Half an hour has passed, how long are you going to delay!"
"This second round of competition is really boring. I don't know what you are worried about. If you don't start making elixirs, I will stop watching and leave!"
A series of noisy and resentful voices floated out from the auditorium, like a bell, reaching the ears of every bartender, including some radicals who uttered some sarcastic and curse words.
Hearing these sarcastic words, the faces of the more than 130 sommeliers who advanced to the second round changed again and again, and their hearts were a little bitter. Which of the sommeliers who advanced to the second round was simple?
Among them, there are dozens of sommeliers who have reached the third level.
If it weren't for the strangeness of this wine recipe and their scruples, they would have opened the cauldron and made alchemy long ago, and they wouldn't have delayed it until now. After all, there is only one chance to advance, and if they fail, they will quit. These people have to be cautious.
Zhao Wuji and other wine pavilion executives who were sitting in the VIP seats turned a deaf ear to the dissatisfaction that erupted in the audience, as if they had not heard it and had no intention of stopping it.
"Yes, everything is as expected. Now it depends on the mental endurance of these little guys and whether they can discover the secret of the wine recipe." Zhao Wuji said with a faint smile.
The Sommelier Competition is a comprehensive assessment, which is not limited to elixirs. It also evaluates each Sommelier’s potential and the sensitivity of soul power perception. If a Sommelier is participating, he will not even be able to withstand the pressure of dissatisfaction from the surrounding audience.
If you can't live, then how can you bear the frustration caused by failure in refining the wine elixir?
"Old man Zhao, you are still as ruthless as before. Poor these little guys. If they advance, it's okay, but if they fail, they may leave a shadow." Lei Tuohai said with some regret.
"Competition among sommeliers means the survival of the fittest. If a person cannot withstand even this difficult test, then he does not have the qualifications to become a high-ranking and distinguished sommelier!" Zhao Wuji looked indifferent and looked extremely unhappy.
care.
"The law of the jungle is the eternal law of survival in this world. Without failure, there will be no success. Those who blame others will be eliminated!" Liu Che nodded, seeming to agree with Zhao Wuji's decision.
Seeing this, Lei Tuohai shook his head and sighed. He was also very clear about the cruel laws of competition in this world. Adapting to the cruel laws of this world is the path that a strong person must take, even a wine master is no exception.
However, the Fairyland Continent is so vast, but there are very few people who can become sommeliers, and those who finally successfully embark on this path are those with outstanding talents. If they have been unable to recover after this heavy blow, it has to be said that they are a
This is a loss, so Lei Tuohai feels a little regretful, but just because of this, he does not sympathize with these people.
In this world, there are only two kinds of people, one is the successful person who has worked hard to reach the top, and the other is the loser who blames everyone, and losers are not worthy of sympathy.
"call!"
However, while Lei Tuohai and others were talking, a female sommelier in the square wearing a second-grade silver sommelier's robe finally couldn't bear it any more, and the comments and ridicules from everyone in the audience broke out.
Light red flames burned in the palm of her hand. The palm-sized wine cauldron was enlarged to a height of three meters by her. Each medicinal plant was quickly refined by her. However, under the pressure of everyone's discussion, this
The female wine master had already been emotionally unstable, and the result could be imagined. The refining of two medicinal herbs failed, dooming this woman to end in failure.
But what greeted her was not the comfort of the crowd, but the ridicule that was louder than the others. This is the reality. Successful people are admired by everyone, while losers are despised by everyone.
And this female sommelier, after her failure, suddenly shouted to the sky, with tears in her eyes, as if she was crazy, and ran out of the square. Not only was it a bit regretful, but a generation of talented and beautiful women ended up in a situation where they were cast aside by everyone.
But this female sommelier was not the only one who couldn't bear the pressure of the crowd and collapsed. There were also other sommeliers, male or female, with outstanding talents. In the end, they couldn't bear the pressure of the crowd and opened cauldrons to make elixirs one after another. However, the results were almost the same.
, all ended in failure.
And one of the young men with a somewhat hot temper, after failing to refine the medicinal materials, suddenly burned the source fire in anger and burned the wine. An extremely obscure silver-white light suddenly flashed away when the wine was burned.
.
Seeing this strange scene, Xiao Yu's eyes immediately lit up. His judgment was indeed correct. There is indeed a mystery in this wine recipe. However, the wine master who advanced to the second round this time, who has a keen sense of soul power, is not Xiao.
Yu alone, Liu Han, the third princess and others also discovered this strange scene.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be like this!" The third princess pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly used the source fire.
"Interesting, these old monsters in the wine pavilion are really not simple." Liu Han smiled softly, and also used the source fire to light the wine recipe.
"Damn it, they noticed it. You shouldn't hesitate!" Wei Yun whispered angrily.
"But with my strength, Wei Yun, I am not afraid of anyone's challenge. The first place in this second round of competition is none other than me, Wei Yun!" Wei Yun glanced at the other contestants coldly,
