The square was overcrowded, and the auditorium had already been filled by the cultivators who had arrived first. Those who were a step slower could only helplessly stand outside and watch the battle. Looking across the square, there were actually densely packed heads of people, swarming like a colony of ants.
Together, there are tens of thousands of people. Please visit the latest free chapter of this book.
At this moment, on a high platform in the infield, a white light suddenly flashed, and three figures walked out. One of the men was wearing a silver bartender's robe, with two wine tripods embroidered on the front of his left chest.
The dark skin shone with the luster of black metal, and he had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was not very handsome, his appearance was not bad. On both sides of the male bartender, there were two slim and graceful girls.
The two girls were beautiful, stunning, and graceful, instantly attracting the attention of the audience.
The two men and one woman were Xiao Yu, Zi Yan, and Lei Ning who came together.
Xiaoyu glanced at the crowded auditorium with an indifferent expression, called out to the two girls, and walked towards the VIP seats.
Arriving at the VIP table, Xiao Yu walked up to Zhao Ji with a respectful expression, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Xiao Yu, I have met the chief pavilion master."
"You don't need to be polite, little guy. I am very satisfied with your performance yesterday. I hope you will have better results today." Zhao Ji said with a kind expression.
"Thank you, the Pavilion Master, for caring about me. I will try my best." Xiao Yu saluted politely.
"Well, take a seat, the game is about to begin." Zhao Ji smiled and nodded.[
"Yes." Xiao Yu agreed, walked to an empty seat and sat down, and immediately looked around.
Wei Yun, Liu Han, and Liu Ying'er had already arrived at the VIP seats. Like Xiao Yu, as outstanding candidates in the internal assessment, they sat at the top of the VIP seats, while the other participating sommeliers were on the next level.
and representatives of some major forces.
But what made Xiaoyu a little confused was that he searched the entire VIP table, but found Lei Tuohai and Liu Che, and no senior members of the Zi family showed up today either.
"Both Mr. Lei and the Zi family didn't come. This seems weird. Could it be related to what happened last night, but why didn't Liu Che show up?" Xiao Yu frowned secretly, feeling a little confused about the peasant agent.
At this time, Zi Yan and Lei Ning, who had met Zhao Ji and others, walked up to Xiao Yu with light steps, sat down one on the left and the other on the right. The rich floral fragrance of the two women poured into Xiao Yu's nostrils.
middle.
"This boy is so lucky"
"Two of the three beauties in Tianlong City are actually accompanying each other. It's really enviable!"
"Oh, it's enviable, it's hateful, why am I not Xiaoyu?"
A voice of envy came from the auditorium. They wished that they could exchange identities with Xiaoyu at this moment, and they would be satisfied even if their lives were shortened by a hundred years.
Sensing the fiery glances coming from the auditorium, Xiao Yu smiled faintly and didn't care. She looked at Zi Yan and asked, "Fairy Zi Yan, why don't you see Mr. Lei and the people from Prince Zi's Mansion?"
"It's not because of what happened yesterday." Before Zi Yan could answer, Lei Ning on the side explained: "The people who broke into Prince Zi's Mansion yesterday were not weak in cultivation and were able to escape safely from my father. My father was a thief.
When he returned, he decided to personally guard Ziwang Mansion for a period of time to scare Xiaoxiao, so he would not come."
"The uncles and uncles from Ziwang Mansion are using the power of the royal family to explore the origins of the thieves who broke into the manor yesterday, so they will not be present." Lei Ning explained briefly.
After hearing Lei Ning's explanation, Xiao Yu's heart sank. Lei Tuohai personally monitored Jiuji Soul Saliva. This was not good news. However, Xiao Yu's expression did not reveal anything. He nodded and said: "So that's the case, so now we can
Are there any clues to find out the origin of the thief?"
"Not yet." Zi Yan glanced at Xiao Yu with a strange look in her eyes and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. Just play with peace of mind. If anything unexpected happens, I will inform you."
"She really told me the information about Jiuji Soul's saliva on purpose." Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and the meaning of Zi Yan's words could not be clearer.[
"Then there's Fairy Lao Ziyan." Xiaoyu said with an indifferent expression, cupping his fists.
"It's a trivial matter." Zi Yangai nodded, pondered for a while, then opened her mouth slightly and said: "Xiaoyu, actually..."
"Dang!" Suddenly a deafening bell rang, interrupting Zi Yan's words, and the noisy audience fell silent.
Zhao Ji wore a purple sommelier robe and stretched it in the wind. His expression was kind and fairy-like. He suddenly stood up and walked to the high platform of the VIP table. He announced loudly: "The 18th Sommelier Competition, the third round.
The competition begins now, please enter the participating wine masters!"
"Boom!" Warm cheers erupted from the audience. They had been waiting for so long just for this moment.
One by one, the bartenders wearing gold or silver bartender robes stood up, stepped out of their seats, and walked towards the square.
"Fairy Zi Yan, if you have anything to say, let's wait until the game is over." Xiao Yu stood up, said apologetically, and walked down the VIP table with the others.
Looking at Xiaoyu's back, Zi Yan looked a little resentful and obsessed, and whispered in her heart: "Actually, I want to say that if you need it, you can come to me to find a solution together."
Zhao Ji stood on the high platform of the VIP table, looking at the participating wine chefs who had arrived at their respective positions in the square below, and said slowly: "The wine recipe this time is an orthodox wine recipe, there is no fraud, it is our wine recipe."
The pavilion devoted all its efforts and took several months to make it, but you need to follow the requirements on the wine recipe and refine the wine elixir within the specified time to pass the test.
But the medicinal materials are only enough for you three times. In other words, if you fail three times, you will be eliminated. The competition time this time is set to five hours. If the refining of the wine elixir is not completed within the limited time, you will be eliminated.
It’s considered a failure, do you hear clearly?”
"Listen clearly!" More than 70 sommeliers who advanced to the second round replied in unison.
"Okay, let's start the competition now. The timer will start. Descendants of the Gods!" Zhao Ji gave the order, and a deafening bell suddenly resounded throughout the square.
"This year's Sommelier Competition is quite difficult. I don't know what the result will be today."
"Xiao Yu should be able to advance smoothly. After all, he won first place in yesterday's competition."
"That's not necessarily the case. Although Xiaoyu is the dark horse of this competition and has extraordinary strength, she is only temporarily ahead. Until the last moment, everything is unknown. What's more, none of Mr. Wei, Mr. Liu, and the three princesses are weaker.
Xiaoyu, it’s not easy to win the championship.”
At the beginning of the second round of the game, there were intense discussions in the auditorium. Every audience hoped that their supporters could achieve the final victory. The intensity of the discussions was no less intense than the tense atmosphere in the square.
Xiaoyu stretched out his hand in front of the stone table, picked up the wine cube on the stone table, and used his soul power to examine it carefully. A majestic information poured into Xiaoyu's mind like a huge wave.
Xiaoyu closed her eyes and combed through it. After a while, she memorized this huge amount of information. She raised her head and glanced at the three medicinal materials on the stone table and said softly: "Seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, Eight-bearded golden ginseng, Silver Moon
Polygonum multiflorum, sunflower, third-level water attribute demon elixir, and third-level spiritual spring. These six medicinal materials are all the materials for refining the Peiyuan Dan. Although it is not much, it is by no means too little. If it is recorded in the wine recipe
Refining with careful steps does have a high success rate, but that's exactly where the problem lies."
In the second round of competition, there were hidden secrets in the wine recipes, so many wine masters were eliminated. However, the third round of competition now seems to be too simple, which is really inconsistent with the system of the wine master competition.
Shaking his head in confusion, Xiao Yu looked up and looked around, and found that Wei Yun, Liu Han, Liu Ying'er and other wine masters all frowned. Apparently they were all a little surprised and puzzled by the simplicity of the assessment this time.
.
"Forget it, no matter what the reason is, let's refine it once first. If we can succeed in one go, we will save trouble." Xiao Yu whispered softly, and raised his hand to take the wine cauldron into his hand.
The light golden source of power flowed out from Xiaoyu's palm and slowly poured into the wine cauldron. After a while, a piece of bronze light flashed out. The wine cauldron slowly floated up and landed on the ground next to it. In an instant, it was
It turned into a one-meter-sized bronze tripod.
This wine cauldron is a third-level wine cauldron. The Peiyuan Dan refined this time is also a third-level wine cauldron. Its medicinal effect can remove impurities in the body, dredge meridians, stabilize cultivation, and lay a good foundation for future cultivation and advancement.
When Xiao Yu was preparing to open the cauldron to refine the elixir, Wei Yun, Liu Ying'er, Liu Han and others seemed to have the same idea as Xiao Yu, and planned to refine it first to test it out.
After all, the wine masters who can advance to the second round are all selected from a thousand. They are not weaker than others in terms of experience in refining wine elixirs and their minds. Everyone else Xiaoyu can think of can also notice it.
At this moment, Xiaoyu closed her eyes slightly, adjusted her mentality, then opened her eyes slightly, and with a flick of her finger, a wisp of pale golden flame, like a fiery snake, flew out and entered the wine cauldron.
"Chichi!" The pale golden flame burned slowly. Although the fire was strong, the temperature was not high. Immediately, Xiaoyu waved his fingers together, and a large pot of third-level spiritual spring turned into a water column and gushed out.
Falling into the wine cauldron, the third-level spiritual spring exuded rich spiritual energy, filling one-third of the height of the third-level bronze cauldron.
Glancing at the clear third-level spiritual spring in the bronze cauldron, Xiaoyu tapped his finger lightly, and the light golden source fire immediately shook, wrapping the third-level spiritual spring and burning brightly.
The third-level spiritual spring was refined by the soft light golden source fire, and the impurities were gradually removed. The clear spring water also gradually became viscous. After half a stick of incense, a piece of viscous pure white liquid appeared.
In the wine pot.
This pure white viscous liquid is only one-third of the original volume. It is the most essential spiritual liquid of the third-level spiritual spring. If taken directly, it can also restore the source power, but the effect is not too obvious.
Xiaoyu carefully observed the spiritual liquid for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then Xiaoyu lowered the temperature of the light golden source fire and slowly boiled the spiritual liquid.
