"Cough, cough."
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.
