Chapter 908 Guessing
After the spirit wine was distributed, the Jindan monk said: "This second question is more difficult than the first one. The cup in front of you is not so much spirit wine as water. This is because we diluted a certain spirit wine hundreds of times with spring water. People who love wine are extremely sensitive to wine, and we monks are better in this aspect, so the second question tests this ability. You need to taste the wine in the cup and judge what kind of spirit wine we use, the brewing method of this wine, the effect of the spirit wine and the storage time."
As soon as the Jindan monk finished speaking, countless sighs sounded below. No one thought that the second question would be so difficult. Spirit wine diluted hundreds of times by spring water, isn't it spring water? How can you taste the wine? Without the taste of wine, how can you judge the name and effect of the spirit wine? The perception of monks is stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is also limited. How can you guess?
Qingyang couldn't help but frown. If it was a normal cup of spirit wine, it would be easy to taste the name, efficacy, and storage time. Even if it was diluted several times, or even dozens of times, there would still be some traces. It was too difficult to dilute it hundreds of times.
As for the six Jindan cultivators on the stage, they were quite calm. First, their wine tasting ability was indeed better than others. Second, they were born in famous families, and face was the most important thing. With the elders watching, they couldn't let others find out even if they were guilty.
The incense had been replaced on the table next to them, and the timer had started. This question was much more difficult than the first one. It was more laborious to think about it, and time had to be seized. Qingyang didn't care to observe the reactions of others, and directly picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip.
The spirit wine was diluted hundreds of times, so how could it taste like spirit wine? Qingyang held a mouthful of spirit wine in his mouth and tasted it carefully for almost a cup of tea, but he didn't taste any spirit wine, as if it was just a cup of spring water. Qingyang couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Could it be that there was no spiritual wine in the cup at all? The City Lord's Mansion just brought a cup of water to embarrass everyone?
But thinking about it, it was unlikely. Yaoyue Zhenjun had held this wine tasting party more than once. He had invited so many fellow practitioners to participate. It was impossible for him to ruin his reputation. In other words, there must be spiritual wine in the cup, but the content was too small and he didn't sense it.
Qingyang guessed that it must be the wrong method he used. He could only think of other ways. Thinking of this, he tilted his neck and swallowed the wine in his mouth into his stomach. At the same time, he released his mind to start looking inside and carefully observed the changes in his body after the spiritual wine entered his stomach.
Spiritual wine cannot be tasted in the mouth, and it will not become simple after entering the stomach. Anyway, from the mouthful of wine entering the throat, falling into the stomach, spreading throughout the body, and even being digested and absorbed, Qingyang didn't see anything, and there seemed to be no changes in his body.
Seeing that most of the time had passed, Qingyang still had no clue, but he did not rush, but continued to observe quietly. After a while, he finally found a change somewhere in his body. This change was very subtle. If you don't pay attention, it is generally difficult to find. Qingyang was not sure whether this subtle change was caused by the spirit wine. However, at this time, he could only try his best, because he had no other way.
According to the changes in the body, determine the effect of the spirit wine, and then from the effect of the spirit wine, reverse the name, brewing method and storage time of the spirit wine. With guesses, Qingyang circled a rough range.
At this time, Qingyang still didn't dare to make a final decision. He simply poured the remaining half cup of wine into his mouth and continued to observe carefully with his mind. With a range, it was easier to verify. Qingyang felt that the answer he had circled before should not be a problem.
After confirming again and again, Qingyang entered the answer into the jade slip, and then waited anxiously for the result. In just a few breaths, Qingyang felt that it was as long as several years. It was not until the second green light came out of the jade slip that he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that the second question was so difficult. I passed the test by guessing. According to this trend, the difficulty of the third question should be higher. I really don't know if I can pass it.
But it's useless to think so much now. I can only increase my tension. There is a saying that when soldiers come, generals will stop them and when water comes, earth will be built. Just do your best. If you really can't pass it, there is nothing you can do.
Thinking of this, Qingyang felt relieved. He looked up at the burning incense on the table. There was less than an inch left. It was really a lot of time to delay this level. There were 500 cultivators on the field. Less than 200 passed this level, and more than 200 failed. There were dozens of people who were thinking hard. It seems that no more than half of the cultivators will be able to pass the second question test in the end.
As for the descendants of the six Nascent Soul cultivators, all six of them passed the test. From this point of view, they are still very powerful, at least compared with the casual cultivators off the field, they are more than a little stronger.
However, the expressions of the six people are completely different. Shi Ruyu has a hint of pride on his face, which means that he won this level easily. Guxing Zhenren and Ziyun Zhenren have indifferent expressions. It seems that their results are not bad. The remaining three people have ugly faces. They glared at Shi Ruyu one by one, probably because they did not perform well enough just now and were ridiculed by the other party.
Qingyang didn't know what happened between these people. At that time, he wanted to taste the spirit wine in the cup, and his mind was all used on this, not paying attention to their grievances.
The incense on the table burned to the end, and the timer ended. Although some people got the first round wrong, everyone entered the answer in the jade slip, so there was still plenty of time for the competition. At the end of the second round, more than a dozen people did not have time to enter the answer, which shows how difficult the question was.
In the end, about 220 people answered the second question correctly, accounting for about 45% of the total number of people. Those who could answer the second question correctly were all cultivators with a certain foundation in spirit wine, and the possibility of getting the first question wrong was not high, so in the end, there were about 220 people who got both questions right.
Qingyang deliberately looked at the dozen or so foundation-building cultivators who sat next to him before. One-third of them got both questions wrong, and more than half of them failed on the second question. There were only three people who got both questions right, including Qingyang himself.
Without any exception, one of them was Jiuquzi. This person had participated in several wine tastings and was knowledgeable. It was not uncommon for him to get two questions right. The other one is Baotan Sanren, who was born in the declining Jiugui Sect in Zhongsha Region. He came to the wine tasting earlier than Qingyang and has a profound background.
