The audience below the Great Alchemy Competition couldn't help but start discussing Elder Herr, as it was clear to everyone that the champion of this group of alchemists would undoubtedly be Elder Herr. Known for his solid alchemical prowess, Elder Herr had long held a renowned position and was already a core alchemist of a sect. For him, this competition was solely about aiming for the champion's reward.
People constantly speculated about what the champion reward for this year's Great Alchemy Competition could be to attract so many alchemists to participate. Take Elder Herr, for example; he obviously had no essential need to participate in the competition. With fame, abilities in alchemical refinement, and a sect providing steady alchemical and cultivation resources, he clearly lacked for nothing.
