"... And with the rules officially established, we will begin the first part of the competition. Go ahead and choose the materials needed among those presented. Of course, there is not enough of everything for everyone, so be fast in case there is some specific spiritual herbs or spiritual metals that you want to use."
As Elder Song finished his introduction of the competition and explanation of the rules, he quietly retreated to the side while watching the around two hundred people participating in the competition rushing forward towards the tables where the different spiritual herbs and spiritual metals were located. Each of them eager to get their hands on the spiritual metal or spiritual herbs that they needed for the artifact or alchemical potion that they wanted to refine-
"Ah! I wanted that Yellow Spring Root!"
"Nooo-! My Black Rot Metal!"
"Ahhh… No Spirit Spring Grass left… I'm doomed…"
