Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

There are over a thousand continents in the Tianyuan Realm, but the Wangyue Tower only has about a hundred brewers. Therefore, each of them is responsible for brewing the spirit wine needed by the Wangyue Tower branches in ten continents.

The skill level of winemakers varies, and the differences between continents are like heaven and earth.

A bountiful continent, rich in spiritual energy, abundant in resources, and full of opportunities.

A barren continent, lacking everything it needs.

Given this disparity, everyone wants to go to the rich continents, where there are plenty of resources and opportunities for cultivation, rather than being assigned to barren lands.

Just like Cangzhou back then, it was not only barren but also remote, so much so that Wangyuelou did not build a branch in that area.

Therefore, Wangyuelou established a winemaker assessment once every fifty years, with the aim of conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the level of all winemakers.

Simply put, it means that the most capable person should be in charge.

Those with high brewing skills can stay and serve in the rich continents, while those with low skills should go to the barren places to hone their skills and improve.

This distribution method was accepted by everyone and has been passed down ever since.

Before the magnificent palace, beams of divine light would occasionally fly in from afar.

Most of the time, it's a two-person team, with a manager and a brewer.

Shopkeeper Qiu took Xu Chu to meet his close friends.

He also instructed Xu Chu to chat more with the other managers, because they might be assigned to the same group in the future, and getting to know each other better would make their cooperation more efficient and harmonious.

There's still some time before the assessment starts, and some people, having nothing else to do, have taken out some spirit wine and started chatting while drinking.

"Are you aware of what happened between the Seven Kings City and the Azure Sky Merchant Guild a while ago?"

"Nonsense, with such a big fuss, everyone knows about it."

"It's a pity that the Emperor-level experts on both sides didn't participate, otherwise it would have been a full-scale war."

Clearly, there were quite a few people on the Wangyue Tower side who were eager to see a good show. After all, they had always been suppressed by the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce, so naturally they wanted the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce to fall so that they could rise up.

"That's good. If it were a full-scale war, many more forces would be affected."

After all, these two forces are too powerful, have existed for a long time, and have intricate relationships with other forces.

For example, Canglu King, one of the Seven Kings, has always had a deep conflict with the Jade Abyss Imperial Court. If the Seven Kings City and the Azure Sky Merchant Guild were to fight, it would be hard to guarantee that the Jade Abyss Imperial Court would not intervene.

The opposing forces of the Jade Abyss Imperial Court would naturally not stand idly by.

This illustrates the interconnectedness of all things; once a full-scale war breaks out, few powers can truly remain unscathed.

At this moment, Xu Chu asked, "What are the losses on both sides?"

These two families were also enemies of the Xu family, so he naturally wanted to know more about them.

"The losses are quite severe. For at least a long time to come, both companies will have to lie low and focus on recovering."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu was naturally overjoyed and secretly delighted.

About an hour later, more and more people gathered in front of the palace.

"Thump..."

A melodious and clear bell suddenly rang out, echoing among the mountains and attracting the attention of everyone present.

Manager Qiu said in a low voice, "Let's go into the palace. The assessment will officially begin soon."

The stewards and winemakers who had been standing in front of the palace entered the palace one after another.

The magnificent palace is also simple and grand, with many exquisite and mysterious decorations that showcase the profound heritage of Wangyue Tower.

Inside the palace was a high platform, and on the platform were several extremely powerful figures with terrifying auras. They looked smiling and kind, but in reality, each of them was incredibly strong.

Below the platform, there were individual stone tables, each with some materials and brewing tools on it, which the brewers would need later.

Manager Qiu introduced, "There are three people at the front. The old man on the left with white hair and beard, who is full of energy, is Master Li, the current chief brewer of Wangyuelou."

"The old woman on the right, dressed in a gray palace gown, is Qian Lao, the head steward of Wangyue Tower. The one in the middle is Yan Jiang, the owner of Wangyue Tower."

"There are several others, all of whom are powerful figures from major forces with good relations with our Wangyue Tower. These eleven people will be the examiners for the assessment."

Xu Chu nodded to himself, not expecting that the head of Wangyue Tower would also appear at this winemaker assessment.

"What is the content of the assessment?"

Although he knew it was related to winemaking, Xu Chu didn't know the specifics.

Manager Qiu replied, "The purpose of our Wangyuelou's assessment of brewers is to select those with stronger business skills and allocate them with better resources. Therefore, the assessment content is naturally the basic business skills of the brewers."

"The host and Elder Li each selected one of our Wangyuelou's signature spirit wines and had the winemaker brew it on the spot. The scores from both were added together, and the final ranking was based on the scores."

After saying that, Manager Qiu added something else.

“Some of the veteran brewers have been with our Wangyue Tower for hundreds of years. They are very familiar with all the signature spirit wines and their brewing is impeccable.”

"You've only been a brewer at Wangyuelou for a few years, and you've brewed the signature spirit wine the least among all the brewers here, so don't feel any pressure, just perform normally."

"With your talent and skill, you might achieve good results next time and go to a better place than Qingzhou."

Although Manager Qiu had met many talented winemakers, he still had great faith in Xu Chu's winemaking skills and talent.

Xu Chu calmly replied, "Understood."

As for pressure, Xu Chu felt none at all; it was confidence that came from his strength.

After all, Xu Chu might not be good at fighting, but when it comes to alchemy, artifacts, formations, talismans, brewing wine, planting tea, beast taming, and puppetry, Xu Chu has never been impressed by anyone.
