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

Time passes day by day.

At first, neither Xu Chu nor Old Li rushed to begin, but instead closed their eyes and pondered.

This challenge concerns the position of chief brewer; there is absolutely no chance of winning by simply brewing a spirit wine.

To win, you must brew the best spirit wine that can be made under these conditions.

Therefore, they need to first consider which brewing method and what type of raw materials to use.

Four or five days had passed by the time everything was finalized.

Xu Chu acted first, selecting the limited materials on the table in front of him.

After he finished making his selection, Old Li began, but the time difference between them was negligible.

Whether it was Xu Chu or Elder Li, they were so skilled at every step of brewing the spirit wine, having done it countless times. Their movements were so smooth and fluid that it was a pleasure to watch.

The winemakers were amazed.

"This dark horse truly lives up to his third-place ranking in the assessment; he is indeed extraordinary. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

"You do have some skill, but brewing wine isn't something you can just do by being skilled."

"Yes, at our level, it's not enough to simply brew spirit wine that is rich in spiritual energy and has a unique flavor."

Just like the "Remembering Life" spirit wine, its greatest feature is that it is enough to allow cultivators in the upper three realms to comprehend life and have a chance to enter a state of enlightenment.

This is a unique artistic conception.

Not only spirit wine, but some fine spirit teas also have similar effects.

A month later, Xu Chu and Li Lao successively brewed a spirit wine.

Everyone thought the challenge was going to end early, but after tasting it, the two couldn't help but shake their heads.

Clearly, it did not meet their expectations.

However, this was within their expectations, so neither of them was greatly affected.

Master brewers are not only skilled at brewing, but also adept at tasting spirit wines, able to pinpoint the shortcomings of a particular spirit wine.

So after tasting it carefully, they began to make some adjustments and improvements.

Having finalized the improvement plan, they quickly began the second brewing process.

Time is limited. If we fail this time and it takes too long, there won't be time to brew a third time.

Therefore, the second brewing process, which the two improved, was very quick.

It took about half a month to complete the brewing process.

Just like last time, I was still not satisfied after tasting it. After making improvements and adjustments, I immediately started the third brewing process.

Even now, all the winemakers present hold Xu Chu in the highest esteem.

"I have to admit that this young man is really good at brewing. If we had to choose one person from the hundred brewers present who could challenge Master Li, it would only be him."

"Yes, although I came in first place in this assessment, I now realize that I am not as good as him."

"With his talent and skill, even if he loses to Master Li this time, he will eventually surpass Master Li and take over as the chief brewer."

Although reluctant to admit it, most winemakers believe this.

Keep in mind, the results aren't out yet.

The old master of Wangyue Tower, Qian, and the other examiners on the stage originally only wanted to taste the new spirit wine brewed by Master Li.

But after discovering that Xu Chu's brewing skills were no less than Li Lao's, they had even more expectations.

The three-month deadline has finally arrived.

The formation was automatically activated, and Xu Chu and Elder Li felt as if they had been transported to another world.

Mr. Qian asked, "I wonder if the two of you have finished brewing?"

Both Mr. Li and Xu Chu nodded.

Mr. Qian personally stepped forward, took away the wine jars in front of the two men, and instructed a steward to pour wine for the examiners on the stage.

Each examiner had two glasses of wine in front of them. They didn't know which glass belonged to Mr. Li; they simply gave their scores based on that glass.

This is also for the sake of fairness and impartiality, just as it was done during previous assessments.

"Everyone, please."

As Mr. Qian spoke, he picked up one of the cups, took a sip, closed his eyes, and slowly savored it. After a while, he finally said something.

"A delicate and mellow aroma with an endless aftertaste, a fine wine that embodies the way of nature."

Mr. Qian downed the rest of his drink in one gulp and blurted out, "I'll give this glass of wine ninety-two."

Then she rinsed her mouth and even used her internal energy to digest and absorb the effects of the alcohol before picking up the second glass and taking a small sip.

"It's bland on the palate, but has a strong aftertaste, and leaves you with a strange feeling of wistfulness at the end. Not bad, not bad, this glass of wine is worth ninety-four."

"The two of you have managed to brew such a high-quality spirit wine within three months using limited materials. Your skill in brewing is truly unparalleled. It is a great honor for our Moon Gazing Pavilion!"

Old Li didn't hear what was said next at all, because after hearing Old Qian's evaluation and score, he knew that his brewed spirit wine had received a good score.

"That's impossible! Judging from her evaluation, it's obvious the first cup was mine, but she scored two points less than that kid!!"

The usually confident and composed Mr. Li was now flustered.

In his view, having held the position of chief brewer of Wangyuelou for six hundred years, it was impossible for him to lose, much less could he afford to lose.

However, the first examiner, Mr. Qian, the head steward of Wangyue Tower, gave him a score two points lower than his own.

This was hard for Mr. Li to accept, but he quickly found the problem.

“Everyone has different preferences. She might prefer the taste of the spirit wine that kid brewed. If it were another examiner, the score might be different.”

Old Li thought to himself.

Indeed, the owner of Wangyue Tower gave him a higher rating, which made Old Li secretly relieved.

At this time, the other examiners also tasted the two spirit wines and gave their scores.

Apart from the owner of Wangyuelou and Mr. Qian, who gave their evaluations, the other examiners only gave scores.

Therefore, neither Xu Chu nor Li Lao knew their final score.

After a manager tallied the total scores, he handed the results over to Mr. Qian and the owner of Wangyue Tower.
