Chapter 914: Ancient Cellar Fourth Floor

As for Qingyang, he had been influenced by his master, Master Songhe, since he was a child. Although he drank ordinary wine at that time, his alcohol tolerance had been trained. After cultivating immortals, he had come into contact with various kinds of spiritual wine. His ability to withstand alcohol was much greater than that of ordinary cultivators, so his performance was even better than that of some Jindan cultivators, and he didn't even use cultivator methods.

However, his situation was not much better. The strong smell of alcohol around him constantly stimulated him. The whole person was like soaking in a wine jar. Not long after, his face flushed, and fine beads of sweat kept coming out of his body. In a blink of an eye, his clothes were soaked.

Among the hundreds of cultivators, there were only three foundation-building cultivators. Even if they were low-key, they would attract the attention of others. Seeing that their performance was better than some Jindan cultivators, it surprised many people. However, they were relieved after thinking about it. The three of them dared to come to the wine tasting party and won the first round. They must have real skills. Such performance is normal.

After adapting to the third floor of the ancient cellar, hundreds of cultivators did not stay here and continued to walk towards the next floor. This time, the monks' performance was not as relaxed as before. As soon as they stepped onto the steps of the entrance, a strong smell of alcohol rushed towards them, which was a bit stronger than the third floor. Several monks were caught off guard and retreated several steps in a row, almost falling to the ground.

It was not easy to stabilize the team. Many people's faces changed again and again. They didn't expect that the smell of alcohol at the entrance of the fourth floor was so strong. It might not be easy to get down to the fourth floor safely, so many monks quietly used their best means to resist the erosion of alcohol.

At this time, the foundation of the monks can be seen. Although the descendants of the six Yuanying monks did not have the previous calmness, their faces were gradually flushed by the alcohol, but their performance was the best among hundreds of monks. After all, they had high cultivation and had Yuanying monks as their backers. Their strength and means were not comparable to ordinary monks.

Next came several late Jindan monks. There were monks of all kinds of cultivation at the wine tasting, including quite a few late Jindan monks. These people had high cultivation and rich experience. The wine smell of the fourth floor of the ancient cellar had little effect on them. Their performance was no worse than that of the six Yuanying monks. They just didn't want to steal their limelight, so they deliberately fell behind.

Then came a large group of mid-Jindan monks, with a small number of late Jindan and early Jindan monks in the middle. This team was the largest, accounting for half of the total number of people. Their performance was slightly worse than the previous two groups, but overall it was still easy.

At the end were all early Jindan monks, and Qingyang and the other three foundation-building monks were also in the middle. The whole team lagged behind much more than the previous two groups, and it was sparse and dragged for a long time. They tried desperately to catch up with the others, but because of their strength, they were pulled further and further away.

Almost every time they went down a step, the smell of alcohol around them became stronger. Every step forward was a huge pressure. Every breath they took seemed like a year. At this moment, in their eyes, the nearly 100-foot-long steps were as difficult to climb as a mountain.

Many people had blurred eyes and staggered, as if they were drunk. Sometimes, they wanted to move forward, but their steps somehow turned back. Their eyes, ears and other seven orifices were no longer useful. They relied entirely on their divine thoughts to observe the surroundings, but their divine thoughts were affected by the alcohol, and their perception ability was greatly reduced, as if they were out of their control.

However, no matter how difficult it was, they had to move forward. Yao Yue Zhenjun had said before that the fourth floor of the ancient cellar was the limit of the foundation-building cultivators. If they couldn't even reach the fourth floor, wouldn't they appear to be incompetent? Especially the Jindan cultivators among them, how could they accept that they were not as good as the foundation-building cultivators?

It was unknown how long it took before they walked up the stairs and appeared in the hall on the fourth floor of the ancient cellar. The people in front had been waiting for a long time. Looking at the late-coming cultivators, Gu Xing Zhenren said, "My master said that the fourth floor is the limit for many cultivators. If you can't stand the smell of alcohol here, you can just turn around and go back. It's just a wine tasting. There's no need to work so hard, and no one will laugh at you. If you get drunk here, it will be troublesome."

Many Jindan early stage cultivators have already reached the limit of endurance. They have tried all kinds of means, but they can only barely keep from falling, but they can't suppress the deep drunkenness. If they continue like this, they will probably really get drunk. Gu Xing Zhenren's words gave them a step, so more than a dozen Jindan early stage cultivators looked at Gu Xing Zhenren gratefully and turned to walk up.

Although Yao Yue Zhenren said that the limit of Jindan cultivators is the sixth floor, cultivators are different. Some cultivators are born with weak tolerance for alcohol, and it's useless to be strong.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Shi Ruyu's face turned slightly red, making him look a little more crazy. After the dozen Jindan cultivators left, he looked at the other Yuanying descendants provocatively and said, "This is only the fourth floor, which is still far from the limit of Jindan cultivators. If possible, I even plan to go to the seventh floor to see if you can still hold on?"

Alcohol makes cowards bold. If it were normal times, for the sake of Shi Fu Zhenjun, Gu Zhenren and Han Zhenren would still give in to Shi Ruyu. At this time, they were stimulated by the alcohol and became much bolder. They said, "Senior Brother Shi is a Jindan cultivator, aren't we? What's so great about the seventh floor? Why don't we compete to see who can finally enter the seventh floor of the ancient cellar."

The Qingsong Zhenren also said, "If you don't reach the seventh floor, you are not a hero. I agree with this proposal."

"Then we have a deal." Guxing Zhenren did not show any weakness.

Ziyun Zhenren was the only woman among the six people, and she was the one with the lowest cultivation. Shi Ruyu pretended to be considerate and said, "This is a matter between us male cultivators, so Junior Sister Ziyun does not need to participate."

Ziyun Zhenren was already very beautiful, and now she was stimulated by the smell of wine, her cheeks were redder, and her eyes were more charming, which made people salivate, and made many cultivators who did not dare to have any extravagant expectations of her inevitably have some thoughts that they should not have.

Although Ziyun Zhenren was a woman, she was also a person who did not admit defeat. Now she was stimulated by the smell of wine, and she regarded Shi Ruyu's consideration as looking down on her, and said, "Brother Shi, are you looking down on me? Why can't I participate? If I can't go to the seventh floor, can't I go to the sixth floor to take a look?"

Shi Ruyu felt very bored after getting a cold shoulder, and could only say, "In that case, let's not waste time, let's go to the fifth floor together to take a look."
