Drunk Immortal Gourd

The empty wine glasses on the table were quickly taken away by the maids. The late Jindan monk who presided over the wine tasting session reappeared in front of everyone. He looked at everyone and said: "In this wine tasting party, more than two hundred people answered the first two questions correctly. The test questions are far beyond the expectations of our City Lord’s Mansion, which also shows that the influence of our Wine Tasting Party in Jiuxian City is becoming more and more important. Thank you for your support.”

Then the golden elixir monk waved to the back, and the maids came back with the tray. The empty wine glass on the tray was replaced by a smaller cup, only the size of a red date, with half a cup of dark brown liquid in it. It has a bitter taste, like a potion brewed by a pharmacist.

After the distribution was completed, the golden elixir monk continued: "Although many monks don't like medicinal wine, medicinal wine is also a kind of spiritual wine, but its effect is more targeted than ordinary spiritual wine, with certain specific effects. The cup in front of you is a medicinal wine that is not commonly seen. A total of seven main ingredients are used in the brewing process, and there are no less than dozens of other auxiliary materials. Therefore, the third question requires everyone to taste the medicinal wine based on the cup in front of them. You can win if you answer all the seven main ingredients and proportions he uses in brewing.”

After finishing speaking, the golden elixir monk took a few steps back, ordered someone to light the third incense, and then quietly watched how the monks on the field answered the questions. According to usual practice, the wine tasting process usually eliminates more than 80% of the monks. The subsequent procedures would be too troublesome if there are too many people. However, the overall strength of the people who came to the wine tasting this time is relatively high, and so far only less than 50% of the monks have been eliminated. Success, whether the final effect can be achieved depends on how well you answer the third question.

Using medicinal wine to pour out the ingredients for brewing medicinal wine is not an unusually difficult task. Usually when people drink and taste wine, they only consider whether the spiritual wine is useful to them, or whether the spiritual wine tastes good. Who would pay attention to what materials are used? What is the proportion of materials?

If you only analyze one or two of the main materials, some people can taste it. Since you are a wine lover, you have some understanding of spiritual wine brewing, but you have to taste all the seven main materials. It is too difficult to come out and analyze their proportions.

At least 60 to 70% of the hundreds of monks on the field frowned, not knowing how to start. Even the juniors of the six Nascent Soul monks had solemn expressions, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures.

As for Qingyang, he originally thought that the third question would be more difficult than the second question, but after listening to the question, he breathed a sigh of relief. The principles of medicinal wine and elixirs are the same. Using medicinal wine to taste the main ingredients and relying on elixirs The analysis shows that the difference in the main materials for refining is not big.

During the assessment of Keqing Dan King of Wantong Pavilion in the Zhongsha Region, Qingyang analyzed the eighteen main types of elixirs using only one Tongqiao Bu Pulse Pill, and even explained the double refining method used in refining the elixir. When it came out, the difficulty of tasting this medicinal wine was much lower than it is now.

This is the biggest difference between Qingyang and others. He is an extremely skilled alchemist and is very good at analyzing various materials and elixirs. The brewing of medicinal wine happens to be based on the same principle as the refining of elixirs. It was also relatively similar, giving him the upper hand. If the city lord's palace brought out just a cup of ordinary spiritual wine, Qingyang might not be able to guess it.

Since the difficulty was not high, Qingyang didn't bother to hide it. He directly picked up the cup next to him and drank it all in one gulp. After tasting it for a while, he entered the answer he thought of into the jade slip.

Qingyang knew very well that if he wanted to get a ranking in the wine tasting party and eventually get the favor of Zhenjun Yaoyue, he had to attract his attention. Being too low-key would not work.

Qingyang had the confidence to dare to do this. Sure enough, after a few breaths, the third green light appeared on the jade slip. At this point, Qingyang answered all three questions correctly and passed the wine tasting session. test.

At this time, the burning incense on the table in front had burned less than an inch. Many people had not thought of countermeasures, and no one tasted the ingredients used in medicinal wine. Even the descendants of the six Nascent Soul cultivators, the most Only three or four relatively simple materials were analyzed.

Putting aside the hundreds of casual cultivators below, for the first question, the six juniors of the Nascent Soul cultivator started answering the question when there was only an inch left to burn the incense. The results all passed the test, which was eye-opening. However, Considering their identities and the forces behind them, this result is normal.

The second question was much more difficult, but it did not stump the six of them. Although the six of them answered the questions correctly at different times, they were generally much faster than the casual cultivators outside the field. The third question was even more difficult. Everyone felt that they must have passed the first few levels. Unexpectedly, just at the beginning, there was a foundation-building monk who passed the test, without giving everyone any time to react.

It wouldn’t be so surprising if Qingyang was just a little bit faster than the others. The key is that he was able to clear the level in a single stroke. Most people didn’t even have a clue. He had already completed the level. This was really surprising. , the most important thing is that he only has the cultivation level in the foundation building stage.

Shi Ruyu glared at Qingyang, seemingly dissatisfied with his behavior of stealing the limelight. Master Ziyun stared at Qingyang with his beautiful eyes, full of curiosity and doubt. Others also had different expressions, some were envious and some were jealous. Yes, those who appreciate it have it, and those who admire it have it.

Not only them, but also the Nascent Soul monks were alarmed. Lord Yao Yue said with a smile: "It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Each generation becomes stronger than the next. The first one to win this wine tasting session was actually the Foundation Establishment monk. It's beyond our expectations. Fellow Taoists, do you recognize this young man? Could it be that he is a descendant of some family who came to attend the wine tasting party with his identity concealed?"

Others thought so too, but after careful observation, no one recognized them. One of the Yuanying monks shook his head and said: "I don't know. I have never heard of any Yuanying Taoist friend having such a junior in his family. Maybe this young man is really just a casual cultivator."

Lord Yao Yue nodded and said: "If this is the case, this young man is extraordinary. He can answer the right ingredients for medicinal wine so quickly with his foundation-building cultivation. Either his wine-making skills are superb, or his alchemy skills have surpassed In terms of cultivation, he is a rare talent."

"It is quite good for this young man to be praised by Zhenjun Yaoyue. Taoist friend Yaoyue cherishes his talents so much, why not just take him under his sect?" Zhenjun Qingyue said.

Yao Yue Zhenjun shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have always been lazy, and I am most impatient to teach my disciples. I am too lazy to bother with that. Besides, I already have several disciples around me, and I have said no more before. Accepting a disciple is a good thing for young people here, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it.”
