Chapter 906 Blue Spirit Wine
After that, the Jindan cultivator waved his hand to the back, and then a team of female cultivators in the foundation-building stage came into the crowd with trays and handed out a cup in front of each person. The cup was about the size of an egg and filled with a blue spirit wine. Along with the spirit wine, there was also a blank jade slip, in which information could be entered using divine thoughts.
After the spirit wine and jade slip were distributed, the Jindan cultivator continued, "This first test question is very simple. The spirit wine I just gave you is a mixture of three ordinary spirit wines. You can taste it carefully. If you can taste which three spirit wines are mixed, enter the answer you think is correct into the jade slip sent to you. The jade slip is specially made by the City Lord's Mansion. The correct answer has been set in advance, which can judge whether the answer you entered is right or wrong. If you answer a question correctly, the jade slip will emit a green light, and if you answer a question incorrectly, the jade slip will emit a red light. After answering three questions, those with red lights on their jade slips will be eliminated, and those with three green lights will be considered to have passed the wine tasting stage. "
Speaking of this, the Jindan cultivator paused for a moment, and then said: "Of course, there must be a time limit. There are hundreds of cultivators present, and we cannot let someone delay everyone's time. Each question will last for one stick of incense, and those who cannot answer it by then will be eliminated."
After the Jindan cultivator finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, then stepped aside, took out an incense burner from the object-receiving talisman, lit the incense inside and started the timer.
The questions have been asked, and there is only one stick of incense time. Everyone dared not neglect it, and they all picked up the wine glasses in front of them, took a small sip, and tasted it carefully in their mouths. The cup is too small, and there is not much spiritual wine. If you drink too much, you probably won't be able to taste the wine and it will be gone.
Qingyang looked around, and many monks had different expressions. Some frowned, perhaps because they were stumped by some details; some looked happy, probably because they had just guessed a certain kind of spiritual wine; some pretended to be relaxed, as if they felt that mentality was very important to whether they could pass the test; and some looked confused, probably because they had no idea about the spiritual wine in front of them.
In general, the atmosphere on the field was not particularly tense. Perhaps some monks came to participate in the wine tasting with special purposes, but most of the monks came to broaden their horizons. Meeting with wine lovers from all sides, exchanging drinking experiences, and seeing famous spiritual wines from all over the place, for them, the most important thing is to participate, and winning or losing is not very important, so they acted very relaxed.
Infected by this, Qingyang's mentality has also improved a lot. If I win, I am lucky, and if I lose, I am lucky. I have done what I should do and tried my best. In the end, even if I fail, I will not have regrets. If I am too competitive and too worried about gains and losses during the process, I will fail easily.
Seeing that everyone around him had already started tasting wine, Qingyang did not delay any longer and also picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of the blue spiritual wine in the glass, and began to taste it slowly.
When the spiritual wine entered his stomach, a warm current flowed from his mouth to his stomach and intestines, and then spread into the meridians of his whole body. Wherever the warm current passed, his qi and blood surged, and his whole body was full of strength. The meridians also seemed to be nourished and became more resilient than before. In the end, a part of the remaining energy was all gathered into the dantian and turned into the true essence of the cultivator.
This spiritual wine is much better than the spiritual wine used for the previous reception on the table. It has an effect on a perfect foundation-building cultivator like Qingyang, which means that the level of the spiritual wine is at least the foundation-building level, and it may even have reached the golden elixir level. This blue spiritual wine is a mixture of three kinds of spiritual wine. Whether it is the effect of one of them or the effect achieved after mixing, it depends on one's eyesight.
Qingyang guessed that among these three kinds of spiritual wine, there should be one that has a repairing effect on the meridians, one that replenishes qi and blood, and another that slightly improves the cultivation. As for which one it is, it is hard to guess. There are countless varieties of spirit wine in the world, and the customs of the Ancient Continent are slightly different from those of the Nine Provinces Continent and the Middle Sand Region. Whatever spirit wine is popular there may not be popular here. Qingyang has just arrived and doesn't know much about many things. Moreover, some spirit wines have different names but their functions are very similar, so it is difficult to distinguish them. All these must be considered.
Qingyang frowned and thought hard for a long time before he had some clues. Seeing that a stick of incense had burned more than half, he had to bite the bullet and enter his answer into the jade slip, and then quietly stared at the jade slip in his hand until a green light appeared on the jade slip.
Seeing this, Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got the answer right. It seems that the common spirit wines and names on the Ancient Continent are not much different from those on the Nine Provinces Continent and the Middle Sand Region.
Qingyang is also a wine lover, and he also raises a large group of alcoholic bees. He has a great demand for spirit wine, so he has studied various spirit wines. Therefore, he is somewhat confident about this wine tasting session. What he is afraid of is that the Ancient Continent is not connected with the Nine Provinces Continent and the Zhongsha Territory. The customs and names of spirit wine are too different from those of the Nine Provinces Continent and the Zhongsha Territory, so he has no chance of passing this level.
After passing the level, Qingyang was in a good mood to check the answers of others. Among the hundreds of cultivators on the field, there were about 300 people who answered correctly, 70 to 80 people who answered incorrectly, and 100 people who had not finished answering. Overall, the passing rate was still very high.
There were many cultivators like Qingyang. Because it was not time yet and private communication was not allowed, everyone just looked around. No one dared to speak, and there was no private communication.
There are six Yuanying cultivators on the stage watching. How can the tricks of the low-level cultivators be hidden from them? Besides, this is just an ordinary wine tasting meeting. Even if you get a good ranking in the end, the reward is not generous. There is no need to take that risk.
Seeing that only one-third of the incense stick is left, a young Jindan cultivator behind Shi Fu Zhenjun suddenly said: "Senior Yao Yue, I also like spiritual wine. I see that this wine tasting topic is interesting, and I also want to participate. I wonder if there are any spiritual wines and jade slips left?"
Hearing the words of this young cultivator, Yao Yue Zhenjun was a little surprised. He was very familiar with this person. He was Shi Ruyu, the only son of Shi Fu Zhenjun, the leader of Lingfu Sect. He came to the wine tasting with his father. Shi Ruyu had always been very low-key before, and he didn't expect him to speak suddenly.
Supposedly, this wine tasting level has no appeal to the younger generation of Yuanying cultivators. If there is any request, he will definitely not refuse it for the sake of their elders. Why should he compete with these casual cultivators below? There is not much benefit in winning, but it is embarrassing to lose. I don't know what Shi Ruyu is thinking. Yao Yue Zhenjun said: "My dear nephew, just tell me what you want. Why do you have to do it yourself? This level only tests the basics of spirit wine. There is nothing special about it."
