“Cough, cough.”
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
With those two coughs, the venue regained its tranquility.
Elder He, with his piercing gaze circling the crowd, only smiled after noticing that everyone had fallen silent. “Alright, you all, enter the arena; I am going to announce the rules for the first competition.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd entered the arena in a well-organized manner.
“The first competition is simple; it involves distinguishing herbs. I have prepared a variety of herbs for each of you. You just need to write out the properties of at least five herbs and the Elixir Recipes within one incense stick’s burning time. If you don’t finish within this time, you will be eliminated. Now, let the competition begin.”
After saying this, Elder He closed his eyes to rest his spirit, and someone immediately lit an incense stick in front of him. As the scent of the incense filled the air, everyone felt a drowsy sensation overwhelming them.
...
The crowd was greatly shocked; they were probably experiencing the Slumber Mist, widely known across the continent for inducing sleep in anyone who smelled it. It appeared that this competition was not just about distinguishing herbs, but also about testing their willpower.
Instantly, someone pinched their leg hard, forcing themselves not to fall into deep sleep.
Among these people, only four maintained a clear state of mind…
Two of them were Mu Ruyue and Qin Feifei, and another was a youth with a delicate appearance, standing as straight as pine and bamboo, his eyes as brilliant as stars always fixed on the herbs in front of him.
If one were to describe this young man with anything, it would be the impression of a world of beautiful mountains and clear waters at the mere sight of him, resembling a green bamboo standing in the woods, so fetching that one couldn’t help but steal glances at him.
“It’s unsurprising that Qin Feifei from the Qin Family and the Chairman’s grandson can withstand the Slumber Mist, but what about the other two? Could they be the dark horses of this conference?”
Elder Huo, stroking his beard, swept his gaze over Mu Ruyue, then paused it on a black-robed figure not far from her. For some reason, seeing this man in black, he felt an uncomfortable feeling deep inside.
“Why does this man give off a presence that makes me uncomfortable? Seems like I should have someone check his background.”
Without pondering too much, Elder Huo withdrew his gaze, his eyes smiling as he watched the young people below.
“That girl is no simple character. Being able to resist the Slumber Mist means her spiritual power is impressive, A Mid-level Human-class? Hehe, it seems like the competition is getting more interesting.”
And he was growing more excited…
“Alright.” Qin Feifei put down her brush and walked towards the three elders at the judges’ table, respectfully handing them her paper, “Elders, here is my answer.”
“It’s you, Feifei,” Elder He smiled lightly, “Put the answer down and you may leave.”
“Yes, Elder He.”
Qin Feifei slowly stepped down.
However, her being the first to submit her answers had stirred up quite a reaction below.
“It’s Qin Feifei; she’s so fast, probably taking the championship this time, right?”
“Haha, don’t forget about Young Master Qingyu. As the Chairman’s grandson, his strength definitely should not be underestimated.”
“Regardless, in terms of speed, it’s Qin Feifei of the Qin Family who has taken the lead.”
Amid the crowd’s discussion, the others also handed in their answers one by one.
Qingyu picked up his paper and stepped forward, his handsome face adorned with a gentle smile. He nodded to the three elders and then walked down, leaving only a small number of people who had not yet submitted theirs…
