After all, as an alchemist, even if he wasn't a mainstream alchemist, he still had to prepare his own medicinal herb storehouse. Otherwise, he would have to make a trip to the market to buy all the medicinal herbs he needed to refine a pill in the future. Many of them might even be like the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass that he couldn't buy even if he wanted to. That was simply a scam.
With such a medicinal herb storehouse, although it was inevitable that he would need to collect some specific medicinal herbs, it would save him some unnecessary trouble. At least he wouldn't need to run around for some basic medicinal herbs and waste too much energy.
At noon the next day, Lin Yi appeared at the Three Creek Mouth as promised.
He originally thought that Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai would arrive soon. Even if it was difficult to locate them in the dense forest of the back mountain, the Three Creek Mouth that he chose was still very recognizable. Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai were Heaven Stage Great Perfection experts, so they wouldn't be so weak.
However, Lin Yi wandered around the Three Creek Mouth and waited for a full hour, but he didn't see the two of them. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, 'Did the two of them encounter some trouble?'
If the two of them came at different times, it would be understandable. After all, in the outskirts of the back mountain, unexpected things might happen during the journey. It was normal to not be able to reach the destination according to the plan. However, the two of them were nowhere to be seen, so there was a problem.
"Could it be that Meng Tong and his gang made a move on them in advance?" Lin Yi's heart moved slightly.
Although judging from the time, it was the last day for the newcomers to return to the back mountain hall. Snatching at this time would be the best choice to maximize the benefits, but on the other hand, any newcomer would definitely be extra careful at this time and wouldn't easily leave any flaws.
And if he did the opposite, he would make a move a little earlier. Although he would gain less in this way, he could catch the target off guard. This was not necessarily a bad choice.
According to the performance before the trial, Meng Tong and his gang were definitely looking for an opportunity to make a move. Lin Yi originally thought that the other party's main target would be him. After all, he had always been a thorn in the other party's side, but he didn't think that these people would first look for Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai.
If Meng Tong's conjecture was correct, then this fellow, Meng Tong, had indeed made some progress!
If he dared to directly bring people to stop him, Lin Yi wouldn't mind showing him why flowers were so red. But if he skipped him and directly looked for Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, even Lin Yi wouldn't be able to come up with a suitable countermeasure.
The most troublesome problem was that Lin Yi didn't know where Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai were!
It had to be known that there was no such thing as a cell phone communication device on Heaven Stage Island. Even if there was, there wouldn't be a signal. And if he rashly went out to look for them, not to mention that the possibility of finding the two in this vast mountain forest was very slim, what if his guess was wrong?
If it was Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, it was because they encountered some other trouble and were delayed. If Lin Yi left Three Creek Mouth at this time, he would really miss the opportunity to meet the two of them.
The location of Three Creek Mouth was a place that was relatively easy to identify on the map provided by the back mountain hall. Since Lin Yi and his gang would set this place as the gathering point, then what about Meng Tong and his gang? They had the advantage in numbers, so if they wanted to gather, they would need such a highly recognizable location. Could it be that they wouldn't come here?
And if his guess was really wrong, and Lin Yi rashly left this place to look for the two of them, by the time Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai came here with great difficulty … The situation would be even more dangerous!
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi finally decided to wait at Three Creek Mouth for another half a day. This was also the wisest choice he could make at this moment.
In the next half a day, if Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai arrived, then it would naturally be a happy ending. If Meng Tong and his gang arrived, then it wouldn't be a bad thing. With Lin Yi's strength, it would be more than enough to deal with a group of them!
As for the last possibility, if Lin Yi didn't wait for anyone here, then although it wasn't good news, at least it would let Lin Yi confirm one thing. Xiao Ran and his gang were really in trouble, and he was basically sure that it was Meng Tong and his gang's doing!
While waiting, Lin Yi let the Skybolt Pig search for elixirs near Three Creek Mouth. Half a day passed in a flash, and the sky was about to turn dark in the blink of an eye. However, from the beginning to the end, Lin Yi still didn't see anyone.
With that, Lin Yi had a pretty good grasp of the situation. Xiao Ran and Xiao Luo were most likely ambushed by Meng Tong's group.
Xiao Ran was originally a Heaven Realm Full Circle expert. After this period of cultivation, he should have touched the barrier of the Heavenly Dao. As for Qiao Hongcai, although she was originally at the peak of Heaven Realm Late Stage, she had now successfully advanced to Heaven Realm Full Circle.
Among the group of newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion, the two of them weren't weak. In a one-on-one fight, they should have a good chance of winning. However, the problem was that two fists couldn't fight against four hands. The other newcomers weren't easy to deal with. Even if they couldn't beat the two of them in a one-on-one fight, they were still Heaven Realm Full Circle experts.
Facing so many people, even if Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai ran into each other, they definitely had no chance of winning. They could only escape.
If it was someone else, even if they escaped, they would definitely escape in the direction of Three Creek Mouth. After all, if they could meet up with Lin Yi on the way, they would have more strength.
However, Lin Yi knew that with their honest character, once they really encountered such trouble, they would definitely not take half a step in the direction of Three Creek Mouth. Instead, they would choose the opposite direction!
Because if they ran in the direction of Three Creek Mouth, although they had the chance to meet up with Lin Yi, they would also transfer the danger to Lin Yi. No matter how confident they were in Lin Yi's strength, they didn't think that he could deal with more than ten Heaven Realm Full Circle experts led by Meng Tong at the same time.
After all, like the others, they didn't know that Lin Yi was now a Foundation Establishment Early Stage expert. They thought that Lin Yi was just a Heaven Realm Full Circle expert who was slightly stronger than the others!
Because of this concern, according to Lin Yi's speculation, the final choice that the two would make was to abandon the rook to protect the general. In other words, by abandoning themselves, they would ensure Lin Yi's safety!
