Shopkeeper Zhou didn't bother everyone to digest what he meant. He stepped forward, then pressed lightly somewhere next to the main hall, and then the door of the main hall opened with a bang.
But for some reason, the heavy smell of alcohol in Lu Ye's mouth just now did not escape from the opened palace door at this time. It was obviously a special method.
"It should be a blocking formation!"
With Yun Xiao's eyes, he can naturally guess some clues. You must know that he is not only a half-step saint-level pulse refiner, but also a good-level formation master in his previous life. His understanding of formations is far beyond his own.
Within the reach of these people.
When Yun Xiao realized that it was a sealing formation, he became more certain about some of the guesses in his heart, and then followed the others and stepped into the hall.
"Um?"
Yun Xiao, who had just entered the hall, instantly felt the aroma of wine coming to his nostrils. This aroma of wine was more than ten times stronger than that in Zui Lin Garden. It was simply intoxicating.
From this point of view, Lu Ye's statement just now that ordinary people cannot bear the smell of alcohol is by no means groundless. According to Yun Xiao's induction, even some cultivators of the third level of the earth may not be able to survive in this hall.
Stay inside for an hour or three.
Many of the people who entered the hall had flushed faces. Although they were all people who loved drinking, they were still a little caught off guard when such a strong smell of alcohol suddenly hit them.
Only a few strong men who have reached the late stage of Tongtian Realm can be as calm and composed as Yunxiao. However, when they saw that this young man in rough clothes did not change his expression, their hearts couldn't help but move.
"Does this kid have some treasures that can suppress the smell of alcohol?"
Especially Ma Nanfeng, this thought was a bit too much. It was absolutely impossible for him to admit that Yun Xiao's cultivation level was similar to his own, so he could only think about it from another aspect.
In Ma Nanfeng's opinion, the rough-coated boy probably knew in advance that there was such a test, so he prepared treasures to suppress the smell of alcohol in advance.
In addition to suppressing the odor of alcohol, this kind of treasure is also sensitive to some fine wines. Otherwise, how could this kid have found such fine wines as Thousand Flower Stone Qiong and Blood Corroded Flame so easily in the Drunken Forest Garden?
It is extremely difficult to guess the jealousy of some people. Perhaps only Ma Nanfeng can come up with such a whimsical idea. How can Yun Xiao have the time to care about his thoughts at this moment?
Yun Xiao, who entered the Zui Chun Hall, had already raised his eyes to take stock of the situation inside the hall. However, the furnishings in the hall were extremely simple and ordinary, and there were not even a few tables and chairs.
Especially when Yun Xiao looked around, he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the deepest part of the hall, because as his vision deepened, there seemed to be a layer of white mist there, blocking everything inside.
"Looking at the smell of alcohol deep inside, I'm afraid it's almost turning into liquid, right?"
Yun Xiao also knows a lot about wine. He knows that those white mist-like things are not ordinary miasma or haze, but are transformed by the strong smell of wine.
It is said that when fine wines have been produced for more than a thousand years, the aroma of the wine will turn into water, and these liquids can also be regarded as a kind of alternative wine, which is the embodiment of the condensed wine aroma to the extreme.
Even some fine wines that have been stored in cellars for thousands of years can condense into a solid state. Even if an ordinary person takes a whiff, they will be drunk and unconscious, and it is not impossible to sleep until death.
"Hmph, let me see what's so special about the smell of alcohol in your Zuixian Restaurant?"
Just as Yun Xiao was looking at the smell of alcohol, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away, and everyone knew it was from Ma Nanfeng.
After Ma Nanfeng finished speaking, he strode forward, heading towards the depths of Zui Chun Hall. Judging from his steady steps, it seemed that he was not affected by the smell of alcohol at all.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Nanfeng's figure became hazy. Seeing this, everyone did not hesitate. They were afraid that Ma Nanfeng would take the lead and lose their share of the holy wine.
Already.
It's a pity that not everyone has Ma Nanfeng's strength and cultivation. About ten breaths later, a figure fell to the ground without any warning and could not get up again.
Phew!
When the sound of falling to the ground reached everyone's ears, they were suddenly startled. When they looked up, they saw that the man's face was flushed and his breathing was rapid. Judging from every sign, he was drunk.
The alcoholic odor emitted by the fine wine hidden underground, after being stimulated by the blockade formation, is no longer alcoholic in the ordinary sense. It is even stronger than some spirits outside.
In fact, strictly speaking, this is no longer a test of the alcoholic's resistance to fine wine, but a competition of pulse strength. After all, the higher the cultivation level, the higher the resistance to alcohol.
Of course, some experienced alcoholics also have their own methods of resisting the smell of alcohol, but they just don't work with higher cultivation levels. The path they take is definitely not as far as Ma Nanfeng and others.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
After a while, several voices came out in succession. It turned out that some cultivators in the early stage of Tongtian Realm finally couldn't hold on any longer. They fell drunk one after another and lay motionless on the ground.
This is just drunkenness caused by the odor of alcohol, and it will not cause any serious harm to the lives of these people. Once the Drunken Immortal Conference is over, someone will control the odor of alcohol in the palace and give them something to relieve the hangover, and they will naturally be able to regain their clarity.
Lu Ye, who had made friends with Yun Xiao before, was also a cultivator in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, but he had prepared some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to counteract the smell of alcohol, and he could persist longer than other early cultivators in Tongtian Realm.
But as he went deeper and deeper, Lu Ye's face finally showed a touch of extreme ruddy color. His eyes were blurred, and his figure began to stagger, and he was about to lose control and fall to the ground.
puff!
However, at this moment, just when Lu Ye was in a trance and about to fall over, he suddenly felt the sound of wind blowing behind him, and then someone tapped an acupuncture point on his back hard.
"not good!"
At the beginning, Lu Ye subconsciously thought that Yu Xu was taking advantage of others' danger and wanted to deal with him at this time. After all, that guy was in the middle stage of Tongtian Realm and would definitely be more sober than himself.
"Calm down and don't be impetuous!"
Just when Lu Ye wanted to summon up the last bit of pulse energy to fight back, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ears, causing him to restrain his pulse energy in an instant, because he already knew who it was.
"Huh?"
And when Lu Ye realized that it was Yun Xiao who was speaking, he suddenly felt that his drowsy state just now had disappeared, and was replaced by a sense of clarity.
"Brother Yunxiao, thank you very much!"
When Lu Ye turned around, he saw that the boy in rough clothes had arrived behind him at some point. The acupuncture tap just now was obviously done by him to wake him up.
But what Lu Ye couldn't figure out was why just tapping an acupuncture point could make him return to a normal person. From this, it can be seen that he really made a mistake before.
In fact, the reason why Yun Xiao took action was because he had a good impression of Lu Ye. When Chang Shuo took action, Lu Ye tried his best to help, but in the end he was blocked by Yu Xu.
Therefore, Yun Xiao did not want to see Lu Ye fall behind Yu Xu, so he took action and used his pulse refining technique to seal the acupuncture points on the body so that people would not feel the erosion of alcohol. It was really effortless.
Of course, this is also based on Yun Xiao's understanding of various acupuncture points and the characteristics of various alcoholic smells. If it were not the case, another pulse refiner who was also a half-step saint might not be able to do it in an instant.
Do this.
At this moment, Yun Xiao's sealed acupuncture points only prevent Lu Ye from sensing the alcohol smell in this place. As the body goes deeper, the stronger alcohol smell will erode. At that time, the sealed acupuncture points here will be useful.
It won't be too big.
"Follow me, don't go far!"
Yun Xiao shouted softly, and then took a step forward. Lu Ye quickly followed behind him. At this time, he had gained endless confidence in this young man. He believed that as long as he followed him, he would be able to go further.
Lu Ye knew his own family affairs and came to participate in the Drunken Immortal Conference. He never thought that he could be the final winner. He would be worthy of being able to taste those fine wines that are rare in the outside world, such as Qianhua Shiqiong.
This trip is over.
Now it seemed that following this young man in rough clothes might really have a chance to go further. Lu Ye had already been very energetic and followed Yun Xiao every step of the way.
Puff puff puff!
For the next half a stick of incense, Yun Xiao walked casually, but he kept tapping the acupuncture points on Lu Ye's body, making him instantly become clear and clear every time he was about to get drunk, which made him feel much more relaxed than others.
Phew!
A moment later, another sound of a person falling to the ground came. When Lu Ye turned his head to look, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, because the guy who fell to the ground was none other than Yu Xu, who had always had a quarrel with him.
Before, Lu Ye knew that his cultivation level was lower than Yu Xu's, so he thought that he would definitely fall to the ground before that guy, but he never thought that he would witness the moment when Yu Xu fell drunk first.
"Haha, brother Yunxiao, just protect me here. It is really a pleasure in life to see that guy Yu Xu drunk!"
At this moment, Lu Ye was undoubtedly extremely excited, but he did not follow Yun Xiao any further. He still had some self-awareness, knowing that even if he went deeper, it would not be considered his own ability.
Moreover, Lu Ye also knew that now he was only relying on Yun Xiao's methods to stay awake. If something unexpected happened and Yun Xiao was unable to protect him, the consequences would be disastrous.
