Episode 10 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun's Exceptional Brewing Skills
In Episode 10, Yue Yao enters the gambling hall and says she wants to compete with the top players there. She brings out some dice, attracting the attention of the crowd. The gambling hall owner quickly summons his brother, Tu Wan. At first, Tu Wan underestimates Yue Yao, but once he sees her appearance, he becomes serious and prepares to compete with her.
Yue Yao invites Bai Li Dong Jun and Ye Ding Zhi to join her, saying that if they win against Tu Wan, the three of them can pass the preliminary trial together. Bai Li Dong Jun and Ye Ding Zhi accept the challenge, and the three get ready.
Bai Li Dong Jun reveals his cards, thinking his score is high, but it turns out to be the lowest, while Ye Ding Zhi gets a good hand. When Tu Wan reveals his cards, he surprisingly draws the top card, shocking the entire crowd. The gambling hall owner had already noticed that Yue Yao was cheating, but Tu Wan didn't realize it.
Yue Yao deliberately uses a fake name and quickly passes the competition. Before leaving, she teases Bai Li Dong Jun, but he doesn't mind and instead prepares to rest.
Bai Li Dong Jun senses the aroma of wine and feels that time seems to be a bit distorted. It turns out that someone has used the Qimen Dunjia technique. Liu Yue notices the anomaly and confirms that the other contestant has also passed the preliminary trial. The person introduces himself as Zhu Ge Yun.
As night falls, the gambling hall owner has already fallen asleep, and the contestants are exhausted. Liu Yue keeps watching the contestants. Bai Li Dong Jun wakes up on time, with only half an hour left.
His wine has been brewed, and Ye Ding Zhi's lamb chops are almost ready. Another contestant has also brewed wine, and Bai Li Dong Jun is confident about his own wine. The two begin the competition, and in the end, only Bai Li Dong Jun, Ye Ding Zhi, and the other contestant remain.
After tasting the wine of the other contestant, the examiners turn their attention to Bai Li Dong Jun's wine. At first, they seem unimpressed, but after tasting it, they praise it highly. The gambling hall owner even downs a large cup in one gulp, saying the wine has the taste of a mother's love, and he can't help but shed tears. Liu Yue compliments the delicious wine and then proceeds to taste Ye Ding Zhi's lamb chops.
She says Ye Ding Zhi seems to have traveled to many places, and Ye Ding Zhi acknowledges that he has traveled extensively, but still feels that the world is vast, and his experience is not enough.
Another contestant, seeing that Bai Li Dong Jun is about to win the competition, is not satisfied. Liu Yue discovers that the wine is aged, and it is impossible to have been brewed in six hours, and the contestant is hiding a stolen wine jar.
When the time is up, Bai Li Dong Jun and Ye Ding Zhi both pass the preliminary trial.
Li Chang Sheng initially only wanted Liu Yue to participate in one round of the preliminary trial, but Liu Yue finds the competition interesting and decides to take on the subsequent competitions.
At night, Ye Ding Zhi is summoned upstairs by Xiao Shie, who wants to recruit him into his sect. Ye Ding Zhi says he only wants one thing, as long as it's not the jade seal. Xiao Shie readily agrees.
Ye Ding Zhi recalls the scene when Xiao Shie came to his family and announced that the Ye family had been wiped out, and his heart is filled with hatred.
He learns that Xiao Shie has actively sought him out, and decides to retaliate. Yue Yao uses her sister's identity and skills to win the competition, but after leaving, she is followed by Mo Qi Xuan. She senses something is wrong and tries to attack, but discovers that Mo Qi Xuan is secretly protecting her. Mo Qi Xuan deliberately reveals his location to Yue Yao, giving her a better chance of winning.
Every night, Bai Li Dong Jun waits for the masked man to teach him martial arts, and he is confident that he can make it to the end.
