As Ji Feiyan finished speaking, Ah Xiong led more than a dozen disciples from Medicine King Valley, each carrying a wooden tray, and lined up to come forward.

Everyone instinctively craned their necks to look, and saw that the wooden tray held rows of very simple and ancient-looking black incense sticks.

As Ji Feiyan had her disciples distribute the incense sticks, she explained the rules.

One stick of incense is distributed among ten people. They can form their own teams, with fewer sticks but no more.

It was handed over to the participating doctors on site.

"The incense sticks in your hands contain a mixture of various medicinal herbs."

"The person who can identify all the components of an incense stick before it burns out is the winner of this round, and the rankings follow the same pattern."

"If no one can identify them all, the person who answers the most correctly wins."

Identifying herbs by their scent is not a difficult task in traditional Chinese medicine competitions.

The Medicine King Conference never distinguishes between medicine and poison; all participants are tested.


Furthermore, observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation are the basic skills of traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, after Ji Feiyan finished explaining the rules, basically no one had any objections.

Everyone, including Sun Shengshou, was eager and ready for the match to begin.

Several senior doctors took the incense stick in their hands, smelled it, and frowned slightly: "This incense stick seems to be somewhat unusual."

"Yeah, I also think this smells a bit off..."

But that Master Sun, with his arms crossed, calmly glanced at the group and said indifferently, "Even if this incense is poisonous, what's so surprising?"

"Don't forget, this is Medicine King Valley, and 'poison' is also part of the Medicine King Conference."

"With so many doctors here, are you afraid we can't cure this poison?"

As soon as Sun Shengshou finished speaking, everyone around him laughed.

Don't be fooled by their pilgrimage-like appearance at the Medicine King Assembly. Everyone present is a renowned physician, each with their own pride, and none of them are willing to admit that their medical skills are far inferior to those of Medicine King Valley.

Among them was this Master Sun.

Therefore, even though some people had already discovered that this incense stick seemed to be more than it appeared, no one said anything more.

Some even tried to argue, but were rebuffed: "If you're too scared to participate, then leave now. Why are you stirring up trouble here?"

After that, no one said anything anymore.

Little did they know that this incense stick was actually a poisonous incense that had been refined with the poison of the drug user.

Although the amount was less than the powder mixed with the blood of the medicine warrior yesterday, it was just right for controlling these healers.

It just means the infection rate is a little slower.

However, the doctors didn't say anything more, but those in the VIP stands sensed something was wrong.

"Master, I've noticed that incense sticks, just like theirs, are also stuck in the corners around our area."

After circling around, Uncle Yang returned and reported, "Moreover, those disciples from Medicine King Valley were all wearing masks."

At this moment, the incense sticks around were not lit yet. It was obvious that they would be lit together after the competition started and the incense sticks in the hands of the healers were lit.

In this way, the smells around the venue will be masked by the smells in the square and will not be noticed by people.

Wang Yuanwu frowned deeply: "Could it be... that these incense sticks are related to the medicine man?"

Uncle Yang's expression was unusually grim: "What do we do now? Should we go find the alliance leader first?"

The masks worn by the disciples of Medicine King Valley all had a peculiar scent, clearly indicating that they were specially made.

Presumably, simply covering the mouth and nose would be ineffective.

Wang Yuanwu subconsciously looked around, but still couldn't find Qin Mo.

Is this considered a special case?

"Wait a little longer!"

Wang Yuanwu gritted his teeth and finally decided to wait a little longer.

He had offended Qin Mo before, and this chance he got through the lottery was a chance for him to make amends.

Although he didn't know the full extent of Qin Mo's abilities, someone who could be fully recognized by the Divine King Sword couldn't be an ordinary person.

Moreover, he is now very curious about what exactly Medicine King Valley is up to.

If we don't expose Medicine King Valley's conspiracy today, even if we escape today, Medicine King Valley will definitely be in big trouble once it emerges in the future.

Besides, Qin Mo also has the mysterious Black Stone Prison behind him.

He refused to believe that if something really happened to Qin Mo, Black Stone Prison would just sit idly by.

Seeing that Wang Yuanwu had made up his mind, Uncle Yang stopped asking questions and instead looked around more cautiously in case of any unexpected situations.

They were still able to remain calm, but Nangong Qianjun on the other side had already sounded the alarm.

His men also discovered incense sticks around the site.

Although he collaborated with Ji Feiyan, the latter never mentioned it.

He immediately frowned and asked Ji Feiyan on the high platform, "Madam Ji, what does this mean?"

"It's one thing for the contestants in the Medicine King Tournament to need bay leaves, but why are there them in the guest seating area too?"

"And all the disciples of Medicine King Valley are wearing masks. Could it be that there's something wrong with this incense?"

Nangong Qianjun didn't care what those doctors were too embarrassed to say.

What if this incense is poisonous, and Ji Feiyan, this woman, uses it to kill and rob?

Ji Feiyan remained calm and replied indifferently, "President Nangong is overthinking it. It's just part of the conference's schedule."

"There aren't many of these incense sticks, and they're being lit around the guest seating area to enhance the viewing experience for everyone."

"Of course, if anyone here is not comfortable or does not want to follow the arrangements of Medicine King Valley, they can leave now. Medicine King Valley will not beg anyone to stay."

Upon hearing this, the people in the audience exchanged bewildered glances.

Many of them had traveled long distances to get here, and none of them were willing to leave empty-handed.

Besides, Medicine King Valley has stood atop the apricot grove for hundreds of years, and most people present did not believe that the other party would dare to poison someone in full view of everyone.

Everyone was weighing their options, and no one was ready to leave anytime soon.

Although Nangong Qianjun's expression was not good, he glanced at the many doctors present and knew that if he left now, he would only become a laughing stock.

Even if Medicine King Valley dared to use poison, it's impossible for them to kill so many people at once, right?

What good would that do them?

After some thought, Nangong Qianjun suppressed his doubts and sat down again.

However, his gaze remained fixed intently on Ji Feiyan: "If this woman dares to play me, I'll kill her..."

Seeing that no one had left, Ji Feiyan smiled with a sense of certainty.

"Great, it's almost finished, I can finally go back to the capital..."

Thinking of this, a surge of excitement welled up inside her, and she raised her delicate hand high:

"Light incense!"
