Poor Alcohol Tolerance

Su Jiuer, resting on the table, watched Qin Tian respectfully pour wine for Xu Yan and was deeply shaken.

Before fleeing to Tianren City, she had heard about the Tianren Sect Leader Qin Tian breaking through two realms. Yet, what was she seeing now? This top expert of the Southern Domain was actually respectfully pouring wine for Xu Yan.

Furthermore, Qin Tian's gaze towards Xu Yan was filled with reverence and admiration.

Su Jiuer found Xu Yan even more terrifying. Even Qin Tian, who was at the second level of the Sea of Consciousness Realm, addressed Xu Yan as "senior" and showed him great respect.

Indeed, he's a master of disguise!

After pouring wine for Xu Yan and himself, Qin Tian looked at Su Jiuer, who was sprawled on the table. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Senior Xu, is this fox your pet?"

He could tell that Su Jiuer was no ordinary fox, but a Fox Demon.

Xu Yan took a small bowl and placed it in front of Su Jiuer, saying to Qin Tian, "Yes, pour her some wine too."

He had no idea how amazing True Spring was. Since Qin Tian brought a whole jar, it wouldn't hurt to let the little fox have some.

Besides, he had never seen a fox drink before and wondered if they had a high tolerance for alcohol.

Qin Tian's eyes widened. He was completely in awe of Xu Yan. Keeping a Fox Demon as a pet was one thing.

But to not even care about True Spring and even let his pet drink it? Truly worthy of being called Senior Xu.

Such generosity and demeanor were beyond his reach.

So, he followed Xu Yan's instructions and poured a bowl for Su Jiuer as well.

Su Jiuer first glanced at Qin Tian, then at Xu Yan. She suddenly realized that this old monster, Xu Yan, wasn't so detestable after all.

True Spring was a renowned wine in the cultivation world, brewed with countless heavenly treasures. It contained extremely pure spiritual energy, and even cultivators in the Sea of Consciousness Realm cherished such precious wine.

Qin Tian wanted to observe Xu Yan's reaction and evaluation of True Spring, saying, "Senior Xu, you first."

An ordinary mortal, even after a single drop of True Spring, would collapse and be utterly drunk.

Even cultivators in the Sea of Consciousness Realm would get drunk after a few bowls.

"Alright!"

Xu Yan, completely unaware of Qin Tian's intentions, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. He then put the bowl down, frowning slightly.

Why does it feel like the wine outside Tianren City? It has no kick at all, almost like plain water, except for the taste, which is indeed better. Is this what they call famous wine?

He thought to himself that Qin Tian was just a minor cultivator, and the famous wine he brought was probably fake.

Seeing Xu Yan finish a bowl of True Spring without changing his expression, Qin Tian was filled with admiration and asked expectantly, "Senior Xu, how is it?"

Su Jiuer also looked at Xu Yan curiously, knowing what Xu Yan would say.

She had only heard of True Spring before but had never tasted it, so she didn't know its true flavor or effects.

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and decided to tell Qin Tian the truth. "The taste is quite good, but it has no kick at all. It's too bland."

He couldn't stand by and watch Qin Tian be fooled into thinking this watered-down wine was a famous brand. Even if it might hurt Qin Tian's feelings, he had to say it.

Qin Tian and Su Jiuer were both stunned. True Spring has no kick? Too bland?

Were they joking? True Spring was famous for its potent kick, which even cultivators in the Sea of Consciousness Realm found hard to withstand.

Qin Tian suspected someone in the Tianren Sect might have secretly replaced the wine. He decided to try it himself. "Let me have a bowl to see."

He imitated Xu Yan and drank the bowl of True Spring in one go, and immediately regretted it.

The powerful, pure alcoholic strength erupted within him. Instantly, he felt a burning sensation all over, and his face turned red.

Xu Yan was startled by Qin Tian's appearance and asked, "Old Sir Qin, are you alright?"

Qin Tian knew he was getting drunk. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I drank too quickly and couldn't handle it. I'm a bit drunk."

Normally, even cultivators in the Sea of Consciousness Realm would drink True Spring in small sips, rarely a whole bowl at once. The contained energy was too immense, and the alcoholic strength too strong, making it unbearable.

He had only drunk a whole bowl because he saw Xu Yan drink it and claim it had no kick. Now, it was too late to regret it.

At the same time, he understood a crucial principle: never compare yourself to Senior Xu.

Xu Yan couldn't believe that wine, which felt no different from plain water, could get someone drunk. "You got drunk from this? Your tolerance is too low."

Then, he poured himself another bowl and drank it down in one gulp, still feeling nothing.

Watching Xu Yan drink True Spring as if it were water, Qin Tian thought, As expected of Senior Xu. He's completely unaffected by the potent kick of True Spring.

He sighed inwardly. How could Senior Xu, with his unfathomable strength, possibly care about a jar of True Spring? His own perspective was too narrow.

Slowly, he slumped onto the table, losing consciousness, completely drunk.

Su Jiuer looked at Xu Yan, who drank True Spring like water, then at Qin Tian, who had passed out after just one bowl. She felt apprehensive about the bowl of True Spring in front of her.

After hesitating for a long time, she extended her nimble tongue and licked the wine in the bowl. Instantly, pure spiritual energy and potent alcoholic strength erupted.

Her eyes became a little blurry. Dizzily, she stood up, only to fall with her head into the wine.

Fortunately, her nose wasn't submerged, or she would have drowned in a bowl of wine.

Xu Yan watched Su Jiuer lick the wine and then collapse into it, finding it unbelievable. "This fox is too dramatic. She passes out just from a taste of alcohol."

Could the creatures in this world really have such low alcohol tolerance?

Qin Tian woke up half an hour later. After all, he was a Cultivator at the second level of the Sea of Consciousness Realm, and he had only drunk one bowl, so much of the alcohol had already been resolved within his body.

He looked at the empty wine jar and at Xu Yan, who was quietly carving a wooden puppet nearby, and his admiration surged like a mighty river.

The True Spring Brew, which could make a Cultivator in the Sea of Consciousness Realm drunk after just one bowl, had no effect on Senior Xu, who drank a whole jar in one go.

This, this was Senior Xu!

"Senior Xu, I'm feeling a bit dizzy, so I'll take my leave now," Qin Tian said to Xu Yan.

He had originally wanted to drink and chat with Xu Yan, but he had gotten drunk after just one bowl and had been out for half an hour. He felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.

"Alright, remember to drink less if you have a low alcohol tolerance," Xu Yan replied without turning his head, continuing to carve the wooden puppet.

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Qin Tian's face felt hot, and he quickly left.

He thought to himself that he had made a complete fool of himself today and hoped he wouldn't leave an impression of uselessness on Senior Xu.

Huh?

I'm so dizzy, what's wrong with me.

Su Jiuer groggily opened her eyes, and the scene before her gradually became clear.

She was lying on the table. The wine beside her was gone, replaced by a bowl of water.

Xu Yan sensed the movement and looked up at Su Jiuer on the table, calling out, "Drink some water to sober up."

Then, he got up and walked over, placing an exquisite wooden puppet in front of Su Jiuer.
