Chapter 566: Highly Attention

Inside the main hall, the individual Formation allowed the brewers to focus on their brewing, free from any external interference.

The examiners on the stage could see the brewing process of each brewer at a glance.

However, the Wangyuelou Master and the Chief Steward Elder Qian were far less knowledgeable about brewing than the Chief Brewer Elder Li.

Therefore, Elder Li watched more attentively, while the former chatted with the other examiners.

Soon, a day passed, and brewers successively completed the brewing of Baihua Brew, beginning to brew Yi Pingsheng.

Although Xu Chu was not the fastest among them, he was still among the top.

Elder Li on the stage noticed this.

"This young brewer from Qing Province looks a bit unfamiliar; he must have arrived in recent years, right?" Elder Li asked, puzzled.

Elder Qian nodded, "I know about this; Qing Province indeed replaced its brewer a few years ago."

Elder Li affirmed, "This young man is very good. His brewing technique for Baihua Brew is extremely skillful. Just looking at his brewing of this wine, he is not inferior to any veteran brewer."

The Wangyuelou Master chuckled, "There aren't many brewers who can receive Elder Li's affirmation."

As the Chief Brewer of Wangyue Restaurant, Elder Li's profound skill and dedication to brewing were absolutely unmatched by any other brewer.

So, after he praised Xu Chu, not only the Wangyuelou Master and Chief Steward Elder Qian, but even the other examiners on the stage, all turned their gaze towards Xu Chu.

Xu Chu, completely immersed in his brewing, did not know that he had already been noticed by these important figures.

Time passed day by day.

Among so many people present, there was not a single weak one; therefore, let alone a month, a year was but a flick of a finger for them.

Especially for these experts serving as examiners on the stage, a single period of seclusion could last for decades or even centuries.

This one month passed very quickly for them.

With one day left until the end of the assessment, brewers successively completed their brewing processes.

After completing the brewing, they opened the Formation surrounding themselves.

All the wine aromas gradually diffused, filling the entire hall with the fragrant scents of these two spiritual wines, Baihua Brew and Yi Pingsheng.

"Finally, the brewing is complete. I didn't expect it to be half a day faster than I imagined."

"Normally, brewing Yi Pingsheng takes me a month and a half. This time, I finished it in just one month. It turns out brewing also requires a certain amount of pressure to improve."

"Ahhh!! How could I have missed a step! It's over now; I'm definitely going to be at the bottom of the rankings."

Brewing spiritual wines is the same as Alchemy and Artifact Refining; it can also fail.

The assessment results at Wangyue Restaurant greatly impact every brewer, so the pressure is immense.

Normally, brewing Yi Pingsheng usually takes more than a month, but this time it was stipulated to be completed within one month.

Brewers who were not very familiar with this wine were prone to errors under heavy pressure, leading to brewing failure.

This meant that their score for this spiritual wine would definitely be in the lowest tier.

In this assessment, they would also be at the bottom.

For the next fifty years, they would be assigned to provinces with scarce resources, and the resource treatment they would receive would be the lowest among all brewers.

Therefore, those brewers who failed the brewing were all depressed and disheartened at this moment, yet helpless.

This was the purpose of the assessment.

It was to make these brewers understand that becoming a brewer at Wangyue Restaurant did not mean they could rest easy and slack off.

To obtain better resources and treatment, they needed to constantly strive for improvement and surpass other brewers.

After the stipulated one-month period ended, all Formations automatically opened. At this point, even if some brewers had not yet completed their brewing, they had to stop and were deemed to have not completed it.

At this time, Elder Qian said in a clear voice, "The assessment is over. Brewers who have not completed brewing or have failed in brewing, please step back."

After she finished speaking, some brewers walked towards the back with their heads lowered.

Not to mention the scores in the assessment, not even completing the brewing was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Furthermore, with all the brewers and stewards present, being watched by so many people was truly a bit awkward, making them wish they could just leave.

Among the one hundred brewers, twenty-three actually retreated to the very back.

They would not participate in the scoring and would be directly assigned to those provinces with the most barren resources.

Seeing this scene, Chief Brewer Elder Li frowned slightly.

"This assessment topic was indeed a bit more difficult, but this is not an excuse for your failure. I hope that in the next fifty years, all of you will diligently study the Dao of brewing and improve your brewing skills."

If not for so many people present, and out of consideration for their dignity, Elder Li might have spoken even more harshly.

After all, these were all brewers of Wangyue Restaurant, a group of people most skilled in brewing in the Tian Yuan World.

Yet, they failed in brewing simply by adding a time limit.

This should not have happened.

Elder Li said, "The remaining seventy-seven people, continue the assessment. First, we will taste and score the Baihua Brew."

He glanced at Elder Qian, who nodded slightly, continuing to oversee the entire hall.

Brewing completed, the next step was the scoring phase, with scores ranging from a minimum of fifty to a maximum of one hundred.

First up was Baihua Brew, a basic spiritual wine.

The spiritual wines brewed by the brewers were successively sent up to the high platform, where they were evaluated by the eleven examiners, who then individually gave their scores.

After the scores were released, the highest score would be removed, and the remaining scores would be added together to form the final score.

Baihua Brew was a spiritual wine that brewers frequently brewed, so everyone's skill level was very slightly different, and the final scores reflected this.

Most brewers' final scores were generally around nine hundred, with Xu Chu scoring nine hundred forty-five.

Xu Chu specifically noted that his score was enough to rank among the top ten out of the seventy-seven brewers.

Even if this was only the score for the first spiritual wine.

But no brewer before had ever achieved such a ranking in their first assessment after joining Wangyue Restaurant.

Elder Li and Elder Qian, who also noticed this, couldn't help but give Xu Chu another look, and at the same time, were very curious about his final ranking.
