The two of them plucked more than half of the surrounding area in the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Everywhere they passed, there was not an inch of grass left behind.
This place could be said to be a natural spiritual herb garden. Spiritual herbs could be seen everywhere. Not only were there many types of spiritual herbs, but they were also of excellent quality. With so many spiritual herbs, other people would have to work for at least a few days to be able to collect all of them.
However, with Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao's terrifying efficiency, they would probably be able to finish plucking all the spiritual herbs in another incense stick's time. This was because they did not even look at the spiritual herbs and plucked them as soon as they saw them. They did not even need to take any protective measures.
After Huang Xiaotao plucked them, the only thing Lin Yi had to do was to put the spiritual herbs away and plant them in the space of the jade pendant. Then, all of them would be ready.
As the two of them were busy, Lin Yi suddenly frowned slightly. There was a rustling sound in the dense forest in the distance. He could tell that it was the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
"Judging from the sound, it should be people, and there's more than one. What should we do?" Huang Xiaotao noticed Lin Yi's expression and quickly realized that she was not inferior to Lin Yi in terms of familiarity with the dense forest and perception in the forest.
"It's okay. Let's continue with our work. Don't worry about it." Lin Yi smiled faintly and had no intention of avoiding it. Although the spiritual herbs here were not rare, it was better than nothing. After all, the space in the jade pendant was huge.
Moreover, Lin Yi had another deeper consideration. If he and Huang Xiaotao deliberately avoided it and were discovered by those people, they might think that they had obtained some great treasure. That was why they had a guilty conscience.
Instead of getting into trouble, it was better to continue plucking the spiritual herbs naturally. After all, there were many cultivators who came to Lufeng Forest to explore. If there was no conflict of interest, the other party would not take the initiative to make things difficult for them.
Of course, in order to conceal the existence of the jade pendant's space, Lin Yi still took the basket beside him and placed all the spirit herbs he was going to collect into the basket. It was fine if Huang Xiaotao knew about the jade pendant's space, but it would be bad if an outsider knew about it.
The two of them continued to pull out the weeds. After a while, a group of people appeared in front of them. Lin Yi raised his head and looked at them. There were four men and two women, a total of six people. They should have teleported here together.
From their demeanor and aura, it was easy to determine that the leader of the six should be the green-robed middle-aged man walking in the middle.
Although this person's figure and appearance did not stand out from others, at first glance, he was just ordinary, and his temperament was no different from Guo Dengtao's from before. However, if one paid close attention, they would discover that this person was full of vigor. His slightly ordinary appearance actually had quite a bit of heroic spirit, especially this person's extremely sharp eyes, like a sharp knife. A casual glance from him would unconsciously make one tremble with fear.
More importantly, among the six people who came, only the green-robed middle-aged man's strength could not be seen through by Lin Yi's golden finger. In other words, this person's strength was at least at the Nascent Soul Stage.
As for the other five people, they were all masters of the Golden Core Stage. The strongest was at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and the weakest was at the intermediate stage.
Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but tremble. The strength of the team in front of him was more than a level stronger than his and Chu Bubai's team. They were simply not on the same level at all.
But thinking about it carefully, only this kind of team would dare to enter the depths of Lufeng Forest. Otherwise, with Chu Bubai's team, without the route map, it would be impossible to reach the core area.
While the two of them were observing the newcomer, the newcomer had noticed them as well. He took one look at the spirit herbs in the basket, then at what the two of them were doing, and burst into laughter at the same time.
As if they had seen an unbelievable funny scene, the people who came laughed loudly. Their faces were full of mockery and disdain.
"Brother Chang, during this time in Lufeng Forest, there are really all kinds of people. There are actually these bumpkins who haven't seen the world. Of all the things they can do here, they are actually squatting here pulling grass. This is really funny!" An extremely coquettish woman leaned half of her body on the chest of the green-robed middle-aged man. She covered her mouth and laughed in front of Lin Yi and Chu Bubai.
Lin Yi glanced at her lightly. This coquettish woman had the strength of the late Gold Core stage, which was not bad. It seemed that she had a close relationship with the leader, Brother Chang. They should be Taoist companions.
"Hahahaha, yes! Brother Chang, I bet that these two people must be from a cultivator tribe who has never seen the world. They just saw some common elixirs and thought they were good treasures! " A man next to him laughed and pointed at Lin Yi and Chu Bubai. "I say, even if you two fill this basket, you won't be able to earn back the 10,000 spirit jades of the teleportation array. It is completely a waste of effort. I really don't know what your brains are made of!"
This person's strength was at the peak of the late Gold Core stage. He was the strongest among the six people except for the leader, Brother Chang. Seeing that he was so agreeable to the coquettish woman, he was obviously Brother Chang's younger brother. Otherwise, he would not work so hard to flatter his sister-in-law.
"That's right. This place isn't considered the outskirts anymore. They've taken such a huge risk to come here. Everyone else is here for the rare Heavenly Treasures, but these two are actually here to pull out the weeds. Their brains really make me speechless …"
"Heh, heh, I'm very curious. They are only at the early Gold Core stage. How did they come in here with such weak strength?"
"Needless to say, they rely on luck. With their weak strength, it is difficult to move around in the periphery of Lufeng Forest, let alone in this place. It is a rare miracle that they can survive until now with their hands and feet intact!" "Not necessarily.
"That might not be the case. From the periphery to this place, they have to pass through the territories of a few powerful spiritual beasts. Even if they were lucky, they would not be able to enter by themselves. Furthermore, they must have gathered six people in the beginning to be teleported in. I guess they were abandoned by their teammates because they were too weak …"
"That's right. In Lufeng Forest, the strength of the early Gold Core stage is simply a burden. If I were their teammate, I would definitely not be willing to bring these two burdens with me. After gathering enough people to be teleported in, of course, they will go their separate ways!"
In front of Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao, these people were mercilessly ridiculing and ridiculing. Only Brother Chang, who was the leader, looked indifferent and did not speak.
