Chapter 433
: Long Xuan Enters the Stage
"I didn't expect this Tea King Gu to be so picky. There are countless people in the outside world who want to drink the top-grade tea but it even disdains to drink it and spits it out on the ground."
Shui Juanyun looked at the arrogant Tea King Gu and slowly frowned.
"That's normal. Who is its owner? He is the head of the Cha family. The Cha family is the best at making tea, and there is no shortage of good tea in the family."
"As the Gu insect of the Tea Clan's master, it has tasted all kinds of precious teas. It's hard for it not to be picky."
Shui Lao stroked his beard and said, looking as if he had expected it.
"Who's the second one to come up now?"
Seeing that people below were talking and no one came up for a long time, Chashan shouted again.
"Let me do it!"
Long Xuan suddenly raised his hand, as if afraid that someone would snatch it away, and rushed forward second.
In his opinion, drinking tea is like eating. When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious, but when you are full, you have no appetite for anything.
There are so many people participating in the tea tasting conference. If everyone gives this tea poison some tea as a tribute, it will eventually become too full to drink and its taste will decline. Those who come later will be unlucky.
With this thought in mind, Long Xuan, who rarely did not perform the closing act, immediately walked onto the stage.
Seeing this face, many people's eyes lit up.
The Bingxin tea that this boy brought out before caused quite a stir at the tea tasting conference. Many people still remember it vividly and are still recalling the beauty of Bingxin tea.
Now seeing this person coming on stage, they immediately perked up, thinking that this person must have good tea and would not let them down.
Even Chashan looked at him with a smile on his face, his eyes filled with expectation.
He had personally exchanged tea with this boy, and knew very well that he was an expert at tea ceremony and must have some top-notch tea on him.
The previous Bingxin tea had already left him with an endless aftertaste, so what kind of delicious tea would he serve this time?
He was now eager to know what the best tea was for this boy.
After Long Xuan walked onto the stage, Tea King Gu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, scanning his entire body.
When Long Xuan brought out a cup of steaming hot tea, its eyes widened immediately.
The Tea King Gu is an expert in tea tasting. Even though it hasn't tasted the tea itself, just by smelling the tea fragrance wafting over, it has already determined that this tea must be a rare and excellent tea in the world, far superior to the green tea that smelled of horse urine just now.
It took a deep breath, and the aroma of tea that rushed into its nose made it look intoxicated.
At this moment, it couldn't bear it any longer, and it sucked hard with its little mouth. Thirty drops of tea flew out of the teacup and were swallowed into its mouth in one gulp.
Long Xuan's mouth twitched. Why did he only drink three drops of other people's tea, but drink thirty drops of his tea? Wasn't it a bit too much to treat them differently?
After thirty drops of tea went into his stomach, Tea King Gu's expression suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and his eyes were sparkling as if there was something shining.
It was the first time for it to drink such delicious tea. The taste of this tea was beyond words. It did not seem to come from the mortal world. Compared with this tea, the tea it drank before was simply horse urine. It felt like it had lived in vain for so many years.
It took a long time for Tea King Gu to come back to his senses. He looked at the cup of tea with an extremely greedy look. Just as he was about to take a deep sip, Long Xuan quickly sealed the mouth of the cup with his hand. He cursed in his heart, thinking that this little guy was addicted to taking advantage of the tea.
"Haha! I'm sorry for not disciplining you properly." Cha Shan patted Cha Wang Gu's head, showing a bit of embarrassment, and said:
"It said that your tea is the only one it has ever seen in its life. Among all the teas it has drunk, no other tea can compare with it. There is no need for the others to compete. This tea gets full marks and should be the champion." When saying this, there was an undisguised shock in Cha Shan's eyes. His Tea King Gu had drunk all kinds of the best teas in the world, and only he, its master, knew best how highly the Tea King Gu evaluated this tea.
The others couldn't help but show curiosity at this time. How delicious is this tea that it can make this picky tea king Gu lose his composure like this.
The exaggerated reaction of the Tea King Gu made them curious about the taste of the tea, and they felt itchy if they didn’t take a sip.
In the crowd, a handsome middle-aged man with the word "water" written on his clothes looked at the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face.
Tea made with one-yuan heavy water? Interesting.
However, even if natural water is used to brew tea, this Tea King Gu would not have such a reaction. This tea must have some tricks that I don't know about. I don't know what the origin of this guy is.
But since this boy has one yuan of heavy water, the old guy should be dead, right? He looked thoughtful.
On the other side, Shui Lao glanced at this man with his eyes, his expression remained unchanged, but murderous intent was already surging in his heart.
"Hmph! Shui Wuqing, as long as you set your sights on the One Yuan Heavy Water, your next trip to the Godly Land of the River God will be your death!" Shui Lao clenched his fists and finally turned his gaze away.
All the tea selected in this round will be used for sacrificial purposes. In subsequent tea sacrificial activities, these teas will be poured into the river as sacrifices to the river god.
Therefore, the shadow tea in Long Xuan's hand was taken away. After he stepped down from the stage, the people behind him began to come on stage one after another.
However, this Tea King Gu was obviously absent-minded, and glanced at Long Xuan from time to time.
After drinking his tea, it felt that any other tea was bland and as light as water, which made it difficult for it to drink tea in the future.
The fried shadow tea has undoubtedly made the taste buds of the tea king Gu more discerning, and has invisibly improved its tasting standards.
Long Xuan took out the roasted shadow tea first, causing trouble for the people behind him.
The tea of the people behind was obviously of good quality and would have been selected in previous tea tasting conferences, but after drinking it, this tea Gu showed an expression of difficulty swallowing it, and eliminated one person after another on the grounds that it was not mellow enough.
Those who participated in this tea tasting conference were unlucky. They were eliminated even though they had the ability to pass the test, and had no chance to enter the God Realm of the River God.
Those who were unexpectedly eliminated were all dumbfounded on the spot, and those who had not had the chance to taste the tea also looked pale.
However, even though Long Xuan inadvertently increased the elimination rate, his expression was not relaxed at this moment.
Although the Tea King Gu raised the elimination standard, almost all those eliminated were Gu cultivators in the Spiritual Sea Stage. Those Gu Kings were wealthy enough to buy the best tea, so they were not greatly affected.
Seeing that one Gu King after another had their tea taken away and were qualified to enter the mysterious realm of the river god, Long Xuan felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
An unknown amount of time had passed. Just when Long Xuan was still distracted, Cha Shan's voice suddenly rang out.
"My friend, your tea is the highest quality tea in this tea tasting conference and has been listed as the main offering for the tea ceremony."
"You are the first place winner of this tea contest. According to the rules, you have the first chance to choose the prizes on the table. Please take your place now!"
Chashan looked at him with a smile, turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation. (End of this chapter)
