At the moment Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed the ginseng wine, the two Five Elements Spirit Springs within him rushed to his right hand, vibrating violently, exerting a strong sucking force, and the Wild Mountain Ginseng in the bottle trembled violently as well.

Luckily, at that time, Lin Juxiong was busy pouring the alcohol, so he naturally didn't notice the anomaly, and although Xu Qingxue was constantly watching Wang Xiaoqiang, the wine bottle was shielded in his hands, and it was difficult to detect without looking closely.

As Wang Xiaoqiang began to chug the wine, the Wild Mountain Ginseng in the bottle, amidst the violent shaking, turned into dregs and eventually entered Wang Xiaoqiang's stomach along with the liquid, while the ginseng essence had long been absorbed cleanly by the two Five Elements Spirit Springs.

While absorbing the essence of the Wild Mountain Ginseng, the Five Elements Spirit Springs were also neutralizing the strength of the alcohol.

Therefore, although Wang Xiaoqiang had swallowed a bottle of high proof liquor, he felt only slightly dizzy, as if he had drunk a bottle of beer, and this slight dizziness was gradually dissipating with the resolution from the Five Elements Spirit Springs.

Lin Juxiong was not behind either, a bottle of Whiskey also went down quickly. After finishing, he simply belched and then gazed steadily at Wang Xiaoqiang, slightly surprised to see that Wang Xiaoqiang was fine after downing a bottle of ginseng-infused wine, then he grabbed another bottle of Whiskey and started pouring it down again.

"Eh? Little Qiang, where's the ginseng?" Xu Qingxue finally noticed something was off.

"Swallowed it!" Wang Xiaoqiang dismissed her with a word, grabbed the second bottle of Wild Mountain Ginseng wine, and started to chug it again.

"Swallowed it..." Xu Qingxue was so astonished that her eyes almost popped out. During the men's second round of competition, her eyes began to keenly observe Wang Xiaoqiang.

She noticed that once the ginseng wine reached Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, the ginseng in the bottle would turn into something like tofu dregs and then integrate into the liquid, which entered Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth along with the alcohol.

After witnessing this scene, the shock in Xu Qingxue's eyes turned into horror. Without waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to finish the second bottle, she rushed forward, reaching out to snatch the wine bottle from his hand and crying out a warning... "Stop, Little Qiang, there's something wrong with this ginseng wine!"

With that, she forcefully took the bottle away, which now only contained a meagre amount of liquid with ginseng fragments scattered within it.

Xu Qingxue held the wine bottle up to Wang Xiaoqiang as a reminder, "See? The ginseng has turned to dregs, it must be fake, you can't drink more..."

"Men's business, women, women should stay out of it!" Wang Xiaoqiang saw an opportunity to feign drunkenness, slurring his words as he snatched the wine bottle from Xu Qingxue's hand and pushed her away, then poured the remaining liquor into his stomach.

After absorbing another Wild Mountain Ginseng, the two Five Elements Spirit Springs grew slightly larger. But at this time, they were not idle, one ran to Wang Xiaoqiang's stomach, the other to his head, constantly releasing bursts of cool air, neutralizing the strength of the alcohol.

After chugging another bottle of Whiskey, Lin Juxiong felt slightly dizzy. He stared intently at Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing that he still looked unbothered. While surprised, Lin Juxiong also scornfully thought to himself, hmph, beginners often don't feel the effects immediately, he might be crying later for all we know.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang was looking at Lin Juxiong with provocative eyes.

Being naturally combative, Lin Juxiong wouldn't concede defeat even if he felt dizzy to the point of being unable to stand. In fact, his tolerance for alcohol was exceptionally high, perhaps naturally so, or maybe it was due to his physical fitness. At any rate, he was known to have the highest alcohol tolerance in the entire military district, with no one even a close second.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's challenging gaze, a burning fighting spirit flared in Lin Juxiong's eyes, and he immediately grabbed another bottle and started pouring again.

At this point, Xu Qingxue was examining the ginseng wine, filled with deep suspicion, fearing Wang Xiaoqiang might drink himself into trouble. However, after a thorough examination, she found nothing abnormal.

Wang Xiaoqiang snatched the ginseng-infused liquor from Xu Qingxue's hand and bit open the cap to pour himself another drink.

"Little Qiang, you..." Xu Qingxue exclaimed in shock, her eyes glued to the bottle, noticing that the Wild Mountain Ginseng inside had turned into dregs.

"Little Qiang, this liquor..." Xu Qingxue tried again to snatch the bottle from Wang Xiaoqiang, but he twisted away to avoid her grasp.

After downing the third bottle, Lin Juxiong felt severely dizzy, his face as red as a monkey's butt, but he could still stand. However, when he saw that Wang Xiaoqiang's face was only slightly flushed after three bottles, appearing unbothered, Lin Juxiong still couldn't accept it.

He thought to himself that the strong aftereffects of the liquor were yet to come, now everything seemed alright, but soon, it might be too late for even emergency help, hmm!

While thinking, he grabbed another bottle, but didn't dare to chug it down, only drinking it slowly. Lin Juxiong often drank Western liquor, especially fond of high-proof whiskey. He had once tested himself, and found that four bottles were his limit; beyond that, he would have to go to the hospital.

But after finishing the fourth bottle, he saw Wang Xiaoqiang had already polished off his fourth bottle of ginseng-infused liquor and was now looking at him with a teasing and challenging gaze.

Lin Juxiong was deeply dizzy at this point, feeling the world spinning, but Wang Xiaoqiang's challenging look was not lost on him.

Damn it, could it be? Four bottles of high-proof liquor didn't knock him down. Lin Juxiong began to feel a grudging respect. Could this kid have secretly taken some sobering medicine? But that seemed unlikely; he couldn't have known they were going to have a drinking match beforehand, so how could he think to prepare a remedy?

Although he knew that he couldn't drink anymore, after seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's challenging look, Lin Juxiong still grabbed the fifth bottle of whiskey and started to drink.

After absorbing the essence of the four Wild Mountain Ginseng, the Five Elements Spirit Spring, originally the size of a duck egg, had expanded to the size of a goose egg and was continuously emitting a cool breath to resolve the effects of the alcohol, keeping Wang Xiaoqiang sober.

Seeing Lin Juxiong going for another drink, Wang Xiaoqiang also grabbed the fifth bottle of ginseng-infused liquor. In fact, even if Lin Juxiong stopped drinking, he would have finished all six bottles anyway.

After the fifth bottle, Lin Juxiong's eyes went black, and he collapsed onto the table, motionless.

Seeing Lin Juxiong knocked out, Xu Qingxue blocked Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, you've won, stop drinking!"

Wang Xiaoqiang quickly took the last bottle of ginseng-infused liquor, but didn't drink it. He just shook it in front of his eyes, allowing the Five Elements Spirit Spring to absorb the essence of the Wild Mountain Ginseng, turning it to dregs.

"What kind of crap ginseng is this? It falls apart with a shake!" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a thick tongue.

"This must be fake ginseng, otherwise you would have had a nosebleed by now..." Xu Qingxue shared her conclusion.

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Makes sense."

"Little Qiang, are you alright?" Xu Qingxue, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang fine after downing five bottles of liquor, was astonished and deeply impressed. Her eyes were fixed on him intently, and she reached out to support him, fearing he would collapse at any moment.

Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, check on Giant Bear and see how he's doing. If it's really bad, call emergency services at 120!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang truly unharmed, Xu Qingxue went to check on Lin Juxiong.

After absorbing the essences of six Wild Mountain Ginsengs, the two Five Elements Spirit Springs swelled to the size of baseballs, contracting and expanding continuously. Suddenly, with two soft puffs that only Wang Xiaoqiang could hear, one Spirit Spring after another divided into two more.

Two became four, four duck egg-sized Five Elements Spirit Springs!

All four Five Elements Spirit Springs emitted a cool aura, dissipating the effects of the alcohol, and each moved to a specific location, one remained within the viscera, another returned to the forehead area, one moved below the navel to the lower abdomen, while another went to the stomach.

The Spirit Spring in the stomach and the one at the forehead were working the hardest at this moment, emitting the most cooling aura.

Suddenly having two more Spirit Springs was a big harvest!

Wang Xiaoqiang was secretly thrilled.

"Little Qiang, he seems to have fainted. What should we do?" Xu Qingxue patted Lin Juxiong's face, and seeing that she couldn't wake him, became somewhat flustered.

"Call 120," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "If someone dies from this, we both can't escape responsibility."

Actually, Wang Xiaoqiang could have used Spiritual Energy to make Lin Juxiong regain consciousness, but he felt that someone as arrogant as Lin Juxiong didn't deserve his Spiritual Energy. He needed to be embarrassed and cut down to size. That way, he might grow up a bit.

For an impressive figure like Lin Juxiong, being taken to the hospital in an ambulance after a drinking bout would be a huge disgrace if word got out!

"Okay!" Xu Qingxue didn't hesitate, immediately taking out her phone to dial for emergency help.

Wang Xiaoqiang went behind Lin Juxiong and placed his hand on his back, infusing a little Wood Element Spiritual Qi into his heart. This was Wang's responsibility to Lin Juxiong and also a way to protect himself. If Lin Juxiong really died from drinking, Wang Xiaoqiang would be facing jail time.

The ambulance quickly arrived at Famous Wine City, sirens blaring. Hearing the commotion, Lin Juxiong's friend, the owner of Famous Wine City, Mr. Guo, also came over. Seeing Lin Juxiong deeply unconscious from drinking, he was shocked and scared, hurrying to the hospital with the ambulance.

"It won't be anything serious, right?" Watching the ambulance drive away, Xu Qingxue was also worried.

"There's nothing to worry about, trust me!" Wang Xiaoqiang confidently said.

"Huh? Little Qiang, you're not dizzy?"

"Who says I'm not dizzy? Dead dizzy, but I have Qigong, heh heh!" Wang Xiaoqiang said proudly.

In fact, by this time, the effects of the alcohol in his body had been completely neutralized by the Spirit Springs.

"Qigong can neutralize the effects of alcohol?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, try drinking five bottles of liquor yourself."

Xu Qingxue stuck out her tongue and fell silent.

The two returned to the Hummer, and Wang Xiaoqiang pointed to his mouth and said, "Time to keep your promise, right?"

"What promise?" Xu Qingxue feigned ignorance.

"A five-minute long kiss."

"Cut it out, I can't do it now with your mouth reeking of alcohol. Forget about five minutes, I couldn't stand it even for five seconds," Xu Qingxue gave Wang Xiaoqiang a sidelong glance with her charming eyes.

"Okay, then it'll just accrue," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "But you know the interest rates, one minute per day..."

"Drop dead, sleazebag!" Xu Qingxue playfully tapped Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead with her slender finger, her eyes rippling like water.

With Lin Juxiong's matter resolved, a weight was lifted off Xu Qingxue's heart, and her mood brightened. She patted Wang Xiaoqiang's thigh, "Hey, are you hungry?"

"After six bottles of liquor, do you think I'd be hungry?"

"That makes sense. I was going to treat you to a meal, but it looks like I've saved myself some money," Xu Qingxue remarked.

"Stingy."

"Let's go for coffee then!"

"That's more like it!"

"Come on, let's switch places, I'll drive." Although Wang Xiaoqiang seemed fine, Xu Qingxue didn't want to take any chances and insisted on swapping seats with him.

While switching places, Wang Xiaoqiang mischievously wrapped his arms around her trim and toned waist and pulled her into his lap, causing Xu Qingxue to sit on him.
