But now it seems that Lin Yi does not lack this favor. Wouldn't it be better to take Qingshan Alchemy Academy with him as well?
"Well, what Dean Lu said makes sense. Then let's... go to the medicine fields in the central region?"
Lin Yi nodded slightly, and his tone seemed to be asking for advice, but as soon as he said this, no one had any objection at all, and they all agreed in unison.
So the target direction was determined, and the group of people set off on the road. On the way, they picked up some medicinal materials, fought a dark monster, etc., but there was nothing to talk about.
It's just that the vastness of the medicine field's forest of illusion is somewhat beyond Lin Yi's expectations.
Everyone maintained a sufficient speed and headed towards the central location without any delay. It took more than a full day to reach the outer area of the central medicine field.
Fortunately, once the three days are up, no matter where you are, you will be teleported away directly. Otherwise, even if you pick enough medicinal materials here, you will not have time to rush back.
"Dean Lu, everyone is tired. Let's take a rest first. Since we have reached the outskirts of the medicine field, there is no need to rush."
Lin Yi saw that Tang Yungui and Diao Zhetian were not in good condition and were a little depressed, so he suggested taking a rest.
Naturally, Lu Sanjian would not object, so everyone found an open place to sit down, resting and eating something to replenish their strength.
In fact, everyone is an alchemist, so they naturally have some pills to restore their physical strength, but no one would take pills at this time.
It's not that it's a waste, but taking too much elixir is not good. As an alchemist, you naturally know what elixir is.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, generally people will not take pills to restore their physical strength. Anyway, everyone's physical fitness is super strong, and they can fully recover after a short rest.
Lin Yi sat on a thick branch, and his consciousness spread out to detect the surrounding situation. Although it was outside the medicinal field, it was indeed possible to find that the number of medicinal materials was much more than in other places.
However, no traces of dark monsters have been found nearby. Maybe it is really too peripheral, so it is not taken seriously, right?
There were no people from other colleges around. I don’t know if they didn’t come, or if they came but were in other directions.
"Dean Sima, what should we do next? Should we go deeper first, find large quantities of medicinal materials and then pick them, or should we go deeper from the outside and slowly go in?"
Lu Sanjian also followed and sat next to Lin Yi, analyzing the pros and cons of the two options: "If we go in depth first, the benefits are obvious. We may be able to obtain enough medicinal materials at once and complete the task in the shortest time. Then quickly evacuate the central area!"
"Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. As we go deeper, we may be targeted by a large number of dark monsters before we can find the medicinal materials we want. Then we will be in a dilemma, and we may not gain anything at all."
"If you collect from the outside while going deep, you may not get that much, but the best thing is being safe. Even if you encounter a dark monster later, you can still get enough, and you won't be in trouble when you evacuate."
Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "What Dean Lu said makes sense, so which one do you prefer?"
Most leaders are like this. They don't make decisions easily. They always listen to all opinions and then consider them comprehensively.
Lin Yi unknowingly had the thinking mode of a superior person.
Lu Sanjian was originally the leader of the dignified Qingshan Alchemy Academy, and he was used to listening to other people's opinions as a superior person.
But now that I'm with Lin Yi, I have no resistance to putting forward opinions for Lin Yi's reference, and I'm even willing to do so.
"Haha, if I were to lead the team alone, I would definitely choose to collect at the periphery cautiously and slowly and go deeper. Once I find traces of the dark monster, I will evacuate immediately!"
Lu Sanjian smiled calmly: "With my limited ability, I don't dare to take risks. I can only do things so cautiously. However, with Dean Sima here, I think I can try to go deeper first. After all, the deeper the medicine field goes, the more likely it will be."
The richer the medicinal materials are."
"Perhaps a day of hard work on the outside is not as good as half an hour in depth. The risks and benefits are indeed directly proportional. However, this is just my random speculation and may not be accurate. Dean Sima, what do you think?"
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then decided: "Then let's go deeper! It's rare to come here, so we have to experience it! Maybe other colleges have already gained a lot, and if we don't catch up in a hurry, we may not be able to maintain our advantage!"
Lu Sanjian nodded in agreement, but he felt a little disapproval in his heart.
It’s not like I haven’t been here in the past years. I’ve never seen any college achieve huge gains.
Everyone knows that there are many medicinal materials in the medicinal fields in the central region, but who dares to mess with it?
One or two colleges don't have the guts to go in. If more people are recruited and a large army enters, the danger will be small, and the harvested things will not be much if they are divided equally.
It will take a day or two to get to this area. How many medicinal materials can be obtained in the remaining time?
Therefore, Lu Sanjian felt that Lin Yi was worrying too much. Although the medicinal materials collected along the way were not much, they were still enough.
Coupled with the advantage in the first round, Qingshan Alchemy Academy dare not say that the top spot of Fuyao Alchemy Academy should be very stable.
After resting for about half an hour, everyone's fatigue was almost gone, so they continued to set off. Lin Yi and Lu Sanjian took the lead and soon entered the medicine field area.
There were suddenly more medicinal materials within sight.
However, Lin Yi and his party did not stop, because the peripheral area was the place where most people gathered in previous years. There were not many medicinal materials of sufficient age, and most of them were not mature and had no value for picking.
In addition, he had already made an in-depth decision. Even if he saw some suitable medicinal materials, Lin Yi turned a blind eye and led the people to continue moving forward quickly.
The reason why Lin Yi was confident that there was no danger in going deep into the medicinal field was because his spiritual detection range was sufficient to ensure a safe distance. Once a dark monster was discovered, he would have no problem retreating in time.
Coupled with the plant attributes, it is basically invincible. Lu Sanjian's proposal can be said to be exactly what he wants!
"There is a patch of poisonous heart grass ahead. The quantity is pretty good. It's time to collect it!"
After walking for about ten minutes and already more than ten kilometers deep into the medicinal field, Lin Yi's consciousness finally found a suitable target. It happened that there were no dark monsters nearby, so he could safely harvest a wave.
While talking, Lin Yi had already led people to the edge. Turning around a giant tree, he saw a lush patch of poisonous heart grass, with at least two thousand plants!
Lu Sanjian's eyes shone, he hammered his palms excitedly, and said with a low voice: "Sure enough, wealth is gained through danger! Dean Sima, with this poisonous heart grass, our chances of winning are much better.
