Glancing at the bronze wine cauldron in front of him, Xiao Yu came out of the realm of the wine fairy. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu suddenly reached out and patted the cauldron. The body of the cauldron immediately buzzed, and the cauldron lid flew up instantly.
.
A faint silver-gold light burst out from the wine cauldron, and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire square. Everyone who smelled it felt soothed all over, and felt dizzy in the mind.
"The aroma of wine is so strong, Xiaoyu really shouldn't be sniffed at!" The third princess frowned slightly and whispered softly.
"This man's brewing skills are so good that even I am not in a hurry. The next competition should be more interesting!" Liu Han smiled faintly and shook his folding fan.
"Hmph, Xiaoyu, I underestimated you earlier. We haven't seen you for only three years, and you have achieved such amazing achievements. However, there are two more competitions to come. Wei wants to see how you win!" Wei Yun's eyes were cold.
The light condensed, and he groaned angrily in his heart.
Xiaoyu didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he walked up to the stone platform, picked up the jade bottle on the table, and immediately stretched his palm forward to take a sip. The condensing wine in the bronze cauldron immediately boiled, turned into a silver water column, and spurted out.
The wine cauldron poured into the jade bottle.
"When..." When Xiaoyu took out the condensation wine, the competition bell also rang, and the second round of competition finally came to an end.
"Look at Xiaoyu opening the cauldron, there is a divine light shining. The quality of this medicinal wine is probably not low!"
"Xiao Yu, Wei Yun, Liu Han, and the third princess, all four of them are extraordinary in strength. I just don't know who will win the first place in the second round of competition."
"It's useless for me to make wild guesses. We have to wait for the wine pavilion to conduct an appraisal before we can know the result."
There were bursts of discussion in the audience, and Zhao Wuji, the head of the wine pavilion who was the sixth sommelier, also stood up at this time and walked to the high platform of the VIP table.
"After three hours of competition, the second round of the Sommelier Competition has come to a successful conclusion. Although there are only seventy people who have advanced to the third round, the losers should not feel down. Your extraordinary performance is obvious to everyone present today, and it will be inevitable in the future.
You will achieve something." Zhao Wuji said softly as he glanced at Xiao Yu and many other wine masters in the square.
Although Zhao Wuji's voice was extremely soft, when it fell on everyone's ears, it was as clear and audible as a bell.
Glancing at the silent auditorium, Zhao Wuji said slowly: "Although the second round of the competition has ended successfully, a ranking still needs to be determined. Next, Elder Ruan of the Wine Pavilion and others will enter the venue to evaluate the quality of the medicinal wine.
High and low.”
"Whoa!" The moment Zhao Wuji's voice fell, more than a dozen rainbows rose up in response and fell into the square.
"Bring it here!" One of them, a skinny old man wearing a sommelier's robe, glanced coldly at the female sommelier in front of him and ordered with an indifferent expression.
"Yes!" The female bartender promised with a respectful look, not daring to delay any further, and respectfully delivered the Ningli wine to the old man's hand.
The old man took the condensation wine, opened the lid of the jade bottle, sucked out a drop with his energy, and flicked it onto the prismatic spar on the stone table. It was crystal clear like a crystal-bright spar. After absorbing this drop of medicine
, suddenly burst out a silver beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.
This silver beam of light, three feet thick, shot up from the square like a pillar of heaven, visible to everyone in the auditorium.
The old man glanced at the silver beam of light soaring into the sky with an indifferent expression, and shouted in a cold voice: "Second-grade Ningli wine, low quality!"
The prismatic crystals on the stone table are refined through a special method. They can identify the quality of the wine elixir. From low to high, there are four types: silver, white, gold, and purple. Purple represents the wine elixir.
The quality of the elixir has reached its peak, and it is a rare top-quality wine elixir.
And after the old man finished speaking, suddenly more than a dozen light pillars shot up into the sky, either shining like silver or as white as jade, as gorgeous as fireworks, illuminating the square brightly.
Loud and loud voices appraising the quality also sounded one after another at the moment when several beams of light soared into the sky, and from time to time, there was a burst of discussion or cheers in the audience.
Xiao Yu and the other four people also accepted the appraisal, but what Xiao Yu did not expect was that Elder Ruan would personally come to appraise him, but Xiao Yu was not worried. Even if Elder Ruan had a grudge against him, he would not dare to do anything in front of the public.
Trick.
"Little friend Xiao, you are indeed a hero. I would like to congratulate you on your promotion!" Elder Ruan said with a gentle expression, changing from his usual indifferent attitude.
Although Elder Ruan is narrow-minded and vindictive, he is not stupid. Xiaoyu is no longer what he used to be. He has attracted the attention of the Dionysus King Zhao Wuji, and his future potential is limitless. Naturally, Elder Ruan does not want to continue to offend such an enemy, so he takes the initiative to express his feelings.
Well, I want to resolve the grudge between the two.
Xiao Yu's expression was indifferent. How could he not understand the meaning of Elder Ruan's words? He smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Elder Ruan is so proud of me. I have to trouble Elder Ruan. Please give me a hard time."
"It should be!" Elder Ruan smiled softly and took the condensation wine.
Opening the lid of the jade bottle, Elder Ruan sucked out a drop of wine and flicked it onto the prismatic crystal. After absorbing the drop of wine, a bright purple beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky. The light was soft and not dazzling.
Seeing this, Elder Ruan's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at Xiao Yu deeply and declared loudly: "Excellent quality!"
"Great, I really saw this person right!"
"If there are no accidents, the first place in this second round of competition should be none other than Xiao Yu!"
"Only the second round of competition was so exciting. The next two competitions will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers!"
A burst of cheers erupted from the audience, coming like a wave. Even the rich and noble people in the VIP seats were amazed by the top-quality medicinal wine that Xiaoyu had refined!
"This little guy is really surprising!" Looking at Xiao Yu below, Zhao Wuji smiled happily.
"He has such achievements, but he deserves it!" Lei Tuohai nodded calmly.
At this point, the second round of competition is over. Xiao Yu temporarily ranks first because she refined the best medicinal wine, Wei Yun is second, Liu Han is third, and the third princess ranks fourth.
At this time, after a day of competition, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone dispersed. Xiaoyu was invited by the head of the Zi family, Zi Changshan, to enter the Ziwang Mansion in the name of celebrating his achievements.
Xiaoyu originally wanted to refuse, but as he spoke, he suddenly changed his mind. Xiaoyu agreed to Zi Yan to join the Ziwang Mansion, but in fact it was to steal the Jiuji Soul Saliva. At this time, he could also take the opportunity to secretly observe the affairs of the Ziwang Mansion.
Lay out the layout and find out where the Jiuji Soul Saliva is hidden.
In the hall of Ziwang Mansion, Lei Tuohai sat in the first place, followed by Zi Changshan, followed by the five elders of the Zi family and Xiao Yu. It is not difficult to see that Xiao Yu's status in the hearts of everyone in Ziwang Mansion at this time is high.
, can actually be on an equal footing with the five elders of the Zi family.
But what makes Xiaoyu a little depressed is that the senior officials of the Zi family, whether they did it intentionally or not, actually asked Zi Yanzuo to accompany him. If it was just that, it would be nothing, but the senior officials of the Zi family actually had intentions behind their words.
Wanting to bring the two of them together, and then thinking about seeing Zi Yan bathing in the lake, Xiao Yu felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Mr. Xiao, today you showed off your magical powers in the sommelier competition. I was so excited to see you. I would like to toast you with this wine. I hope you won't refuse!" Zi Changshan stood up from his seat and spoke from afar.
He raised his glass and said.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I'll do it first as a courtesy!" Xiao Yu raised his glasses and touched them in the air, then raised his head and drank.
"Haha, okay!" Zi Changshan laughed heartily and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Mr. Xiao is a generous man, and I admire him. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to have a drink with Mr. Xiao?" the eldest elder of the Zi family suddenly stood up and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu stood up with a calm expression, held the wine glass and said politely: "The great elder loves you so much, how dare you not disobey me, please!"
"Please!" The two touched each other in the air, and then drank from their glasses.
Next, the five elders of the Zi family stood up and toasted with Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu hadn't been so powerful, he would have been drunk on the table.
Even so, Xiaoyu still felt a little heavy-headed. The wine consumed by immortal cultivators was all made from spiritual fruits, and it could also make people drunk.
Immediately, Xiaoyu drank a few more drinks with everyone, and he couldn't hold it any longer, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Seniors, I am too drunk and feel a little sleepy. I hope you will allow me to go back to my room to rest first."
"This Baiguo Niang has strong alcoholic power. Even if I drink too much, I will still feel dizzy. Little guy, your ability to persist until now has exceeded my expectations. Yan'er, please send him back to his room." Lei Tuohai showed a hint of confusion.
He ordered with a non-smiling expression.
"Haha, let Mr. Lei see the joke!" Xiao Yu was indeed drunk, and without thinking carefully about the meaning of Lei Tuohai's words, he staggered up and left the hall with Zi Yan's help.
"Mr. Lei, what's going on with Xiaoyu?" After Xiaoyu left, Zi Changshan suddenly asked with a serious expression.
Lei Tuohai stroked his beard gently, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "This Xiaoyu has great potential, and I am afraid that his achievements in the future will not be inferior to mine. Even if he cannot be bound to the Zi family, he must not make enemies in the future to avoid
Causing disaster!"
"Yes!" After listening to Lei Tuohai's instructions, the senior officials of the Zi family nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Yu, are you okay?" Zi Yan held Xiao Yu's arms with both hands and asked nervously.
"Don't worry, I have some sobering herbs here. Go back to your room and take them, and you will be able to recover." Xiao Yu comforted with a smile.
Hearing this, Zi Yan was slightly relieved, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said with a blush on her face: "You don't have to take everything the elders said at Xiaoyu's table to heart. Whether you stay or go in the future is entirely up to you."
"Don't worry. Since I agreed to join the Ziwang Mansion, I will naturally do something for the Zi family. And if the elders promised to betroth you to me, it was naturally a joke. Xiao will not take it seriously. Fairy Zi Yan
, Don't worry about it." Although Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, she still expressed her feelings tactfully.
"Alas..." After hearing Xiaoyu's answer, Zi Yan sighed slightly in her heart, feeling a touch of bitterness and a little disappointed.
But Zi Yan's expression showed nothing, and she said with a smile: "Even if you are willing, I still don't want to."
After hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly shook a few times inexplicably, but Xiao Yu didn't think too much or care about it. He chuckled and said: "Thank you, Fairy Zi Yan, for seeing me off. Since I have arrived, Fairy Zi Yan is here."
Please come back."
"Okay, you go to bed early and recharge your batteries. There will be an assessment tomorrow." Fairy Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, took a deep look at Xiao Yu, showed a hint of complicated emotions, sighed, and turned around to leave.
