“Ahem.”

Following the two dry coughs, the entire conference hall returned to silence.

He Lao looked around with sharp eyes, and only smiled after seeing that everyone was silent: "Okay, you all enter the competition venue, and I will announce the rules of the first match."

Upon hearing this, everyone walked into the arena in an orderly manner.

"The first competition is very simple. It is to identify medicinal herbs. I have prepared a lot of medicinal herbs for each of you. You only need to write down at least five medicinal properties and elixir recipes. The time limit is one stick of incense. If you fail to complete the task within this stick of incense, you will be eliminated. Okay, let the competition begin."

After saying this, Mr. He closed his eyes and rested. Immediately, someone lit a stick of incense in front of him. As the smell of the cigarette filled their noses, everyone felt sleepy.

Everyone was greatly surprised. That was probably the sleeping incense that was widely known in the continent. Anyone who smelled it could fall asleep. It seemed that this competition was not only about the medicinal properties, but also about training their willpower.

Suddenly, someone pinched his leg hard, forcing him not to fall into sleep.

Among these people, only four people remained sane...

Two of them were Mu Ruyue and Qin Feifei, and the other was a handsome young man. The young man stood as straight as a pine or bamboo, and his eyes as bright as stars were always looking at the medicinal materials in front of him.

If I were to use something to describe this young man, it would be that the moment you see him you see a world of beautiful mountains and clear waters, or a green bamboo standing tall in the woods, so beautiful that you can't help but look sideways.

"It's understandable that Qin Feifei from the Qin family and the president's grandson were able to resist the sleeping incense, but what are the origins of the other two people? Could they be the dark horses of this conference?"

Huo Lao stroked his beard gently, his eyes swept across Mu Ruyue, and then stopped at the black robe not far from her. For some reason, when he saw the man in black robe, he felt a faint sense of discomfort in his heart.

"Why does this man have an aura that makes me feel uncomfortable? It seems like we should ask someone to investigate his background."

Without thinking too much, Old Huo withdrew his gaze and looked at the young people below with a pair of smiling eyes.

"That girl is not a simple character either. The fact that she can resist the sleeping incense shows that she has good mental strength. A mid-level human? Haha, it seems that the competition is getting more and more interesting."

And he was looking forward to it more and more...

"Okay." Qin Feifei put down the pen in her hand, walked towards the three elders in the referee's seat, and respectfully handed over her paper, "Three elders, this is my answer."

"It's Feifei," Mr. He smiled, "Put down the answer and go down."

"Yes, Mr. He."

Qin Feifei slowly retreated.

But the fact that she handed in her paper first caused an uproar below.

"It's Qin Feifei. She's really fast. I think she's the best candidate for the championship this time."

"Haha, don't forget about Master Qingyu. He is the grandson of the president, so his strength should not be underestimated."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No matter what, Qin Feifei from the Qin family is still ahead in terms of speed."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, the others also handed in their answers one by one.

Qingyu picked up the paper in his hand and walked forward, with a faint smile on his handsome face. He nodded to the three people and walked away. Now there were only a small number of people who had not handed in their papers...
