But now it seed that Lin Yi didn't need this favor, so wouldn't it be better if he could bring Qingshan Alchemy School along with him?
"Well, what director Lu said makes sense. Then, shall we ... Go to the herb field in the central region?"
Lin Yi nodded, his tone as if he was asking for their opinion, but no one objected at all. They all agreed.
Thus, the direction of their destination was determined, and the group set out. On the way, they would get so dicinal herbs, fight a darkness demon beast, and so on. There was nothing to say.
It was just that the vastness of the Forest of Illusions was beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
Everyone maintained a sufficient speed and advanced towards the central position without any delay. It took more than a day to reach the outer area of the central dicinal field.
Fortunately, once the three days were up, no matter where they were, they would be directly teleported away. Otherwise, even if they had collected enough herbs here, they would not be able to make it back in ti.
"Dean Lu, everyone's tired. Let's take a rest first. Since we're already at the outskirts of the herb field, there's no need to rush."
Lin Yi saw that Tang Yungui and Diao Longtian weren't in a good state. They were a little dispirited and listless, so he suggested to rest.
Naturally, Lu sanjian did not object, so everyone found an empty place to sit down and eat sothing to replenish their strength.
In fact, everyone was an Alchemist, so they would naturally have so pills to recover their strength. However, no one would take the pills at this ti.
It wasn't a waste, but there were no benefits to eating too many pills. As an Alchemist, he naturally knew what pill poison was.
Therefore, if it was not necessary, they would not take pills to recover their physical strength. In any case, everyone's physical fitness was super strong, and they could fully recover after a short rest.
Lin Yi sat on a thick branch and used his spirit sense to scan the surroundings. It was the outer area of the herb field, but he could see that there were more herbs than in other places.
However, there were no traces of darkness magical beasts in the vicinity. Perhaps they were really too far away, so they weren't taken seriously?
As for the people from the other Academies, they didn't appear in the surroundings either. It was unknown if they didn't co or they ca but were in other directions.
"Dean Sima, what should we do next? Should we go deeper first, find a large number of dicinal herbs and then pick them, or should we slowly go deeper in from the periphery?"
Lu sanjian sat down beside Lin Yi and analyzed the pros and cons of the two options,"If we go deeper in first, the benefits are obvious. We might be able to obtain enough dicinal ingredients in a short ti and complete the mission in the shortest ti possible. Then, we can quickly leave the central region!"
"Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. In the process of going deeper, we might not be able to find the dicinal ingredients we want, and we might be targeted by a large number of darkness magical beasts. At that ti, we might be in a dilemma and might not be able to gain anything."
"if we go deeper while gathering at the periphery, the harvest may not be that much, but it's safe. even if we encounter darkness magical beasts later, we can guarantee that we'll have enough harvest, and we won't lose anything when we retreat."
"you're right, dean lu,"lin yi nodded with a smile," which one do you prefer?"
most leaders were like this. they wouldn't make a decision easily and would always listen to all kinds of opinions before considering it.
lin yi was starting to have the mindset of a superior.
lu sanjian had been the head of the dignified green mountain alchemy school, and it was his habit to listen to the opinions of others as a superior.
but now that she was with lin yi, she didn't reject giving suggestions for lin yi's reference at all. she even seed to be happy to do it.
"ha ha, if the old were to lead a group by myself, i would definitely choose to be cautious and steady in the outer periter to gather and slowly enter deeper. once i discover any traces of a darkness magical beast, i will imdiately retreat!"
lu sanjian smiled calmly."this is all i can do. i don't dare to take any risks. i can only do things carefully. however, with dean sima here, i think we can try to go deeper first. after all, the deeper we go into the herbal field, the more herbs there are."
"perhaps a day of hard work in the outer area is not as good as an hour in the deep. the risk and reward are indeed proportional, but this is just this old man's wild guess and may not be accurate. dean sima, what do you think?"
Lin Yi sighed and decided,"Then let's go deeper! It was rare for him to co here, so he had to experience it! The other Academies might have already reaped a bountiful harvest. If we don't hurry and catch up, we might not be able to maintain our advantage!"
Lu sanjian nodded in agreent, but he didn't think so.
It wasn't like he hadn't been here in the past years, and he had never seen any school with such a huge harvest.
Everyone knew that there were many dicinal herbs in the central region, but who dared to ss around?
One or two academies did not have the courage to enter at all. If they pulled in too many people and a large group entered, the danger would be reduced. However, when the gains were divided equally, there was not much left.
It would take one or two days to get to this area, so how many herbs could he get in the remaining ti?
So Lu sanjian thought that Lin Yi was overthinking. The herbs they collected along the way weren't a lot, but it was enough.
In addition to their advantage from the first round, Qingshan apothecary school might not be able to claim the top spot, but the Fuyao apothecary school should be able to secure it.
After resting for half an hour, everyone was more or less exhausted and continued on their way. Lin Yi and Lu sanjian led the way and soon entered the herb field area.
The number of dicinal herbs within his field of vision suddenly increased.
However, Lin Yi and the group didn't stop. The outer area was the place with the most people gathering in the past years, and there weren't many herbs that were old enough. Most of them weren't mature yet, and there was no value in them.
Plus, he'd already made the decision to go deeper, so even if he saw so suitable ingredients, Lin Yi didn't care and continued to lead the group quickly.
He was confident that there wouldn't be any danger in the herb field because he wanted to keep a safe distance with his spirit sense. If he found a Dark Demon beast, he'd have no problem retreating.
In addition, with the plant attribute, they were basically invincible. Lu sanjian's proposal was exactly what he wanted!
"There's a patch of Poison Heart grass up ahead. The quantity isn't bad. We can harvest it!"
After walking for ten minutes, they were already more than ten kiloters into the herb field. Lin Yi's spirit sense finally found a suitable target. There weren't any dark beasts nearby, so he could harvest a wave of them safely.
As he spoke, Lin Yi had already brought his n to the side. They turned around a huge tree and saw a lush patch of Poison Heart grass, at least two thousand of them!
Lu sanjian's eyes lit up. He hamred his palm excitedly and chuckled in a low voice."As expected, wealth cos from danger! Dean Sima, with this patch of Poison Heart grass, our chances of winning will be much greater!"
