Another two days had passed since Qin Yi had started refining the pills.
In these two days, Qin Yi had refined quite a number of pills with excellent effects. Even now, he had no intention of stopping.
It was obvious that he was enjoying himself so much that he could not feel the passage of time at all. He had all the time in the world anyway, so he did not need to worry that Qin Zhen and Jiang Xinyue, whom he had hidden away, would suddenly wake up. Therefore, he still planned to have some fun with them over the next few days.
…
However, Qin Yi's composure made things difficult for Lv Yuankai, who had been monitoring him from the outside.
As the leader of a sect, it was already a very surprising move for him to personally monitor Qin Yi. Of course, both Qin Zhen and Jiang Xinyue were rather important to him and the imperial family behind him. They were indeed worthy of him personally taking action.
However, as the sect leader, he had already made an appearance. In any case, he should at least let him see the results. However, there had been no activity at all in Qin Yi's cave over the past two days. Not even the door had been opened. This made him angry and surprised, but at the same time, a trace of suspicion arose in his heart. "Could it be that I'm really overthinking things? That the other party isn't suspicious at all, and everything he's done before was also reasonable?"
Thinking of this, Lv Yuankai suddenly shook his head and said, "Impossible. From my deduction, there should be something wrong with Qin Yi. I can't doubt my own judgment because of such a small matter. "
To be honest, during these two days of fruitless surveillance, Lv Yuankai had almost lost control of his anger and exploded a few times.
Obviously, as the sect leader of the Brushing Willow Sect, he could completely disregard anyone's opinion here and do whatever he wanted.
Based on his character, even if it was just suspicion, he could completely capture Qin Yi and then torture him to force the truth out of him.
However, he did not do so. The reason was very simple.
First of all, this matter was of great importance. Without any conclusive evidence, he absolutely could not act rashly.
If this matter was really done by Qin Yi, then it was very likely that he had an accomplice. If they knew that Qin Yi had been arrested, no one knew what his accomplices would do.
To him, Qin Zhen and Jiang Xinyue were extremely important. No matter what happened, he would not allow anything to happen to him.
Secondly, Qin Yi's master, Chu Zhenghao, was no pushover either. If he really arrested Qin Yi, Chu Zhenghao would probably use this as a pretext to fight against him.
He wasn't afraid of Chu Zhenghao, but he still had to think about the future of the Brushing Willow School. After all, this was a superpower that the royal family had spent a great deal of effort to create. Not only could they provide intelligence to the royal family, but they could also send outstanding talents to the royal family.
Moreover, Qin Yi's current identity was not just that of a disciple. He was now the number one alchemist in Jade Willow Country!
Without a doubt, Qin Yi had contributed greatly to Jade Willow Country's alchemy industry. If it wasn't for him, perhaps the alchemy industry would not be as prosperous as it was now.
As a member of the royal family, Lv Yuankai naturally hoped that Jade Willow Country could flourish in all aspects. This was the only way they could gain a great advantage in the war. Even though the two countries had stopped fighting, no one could guarantee that war would break out again.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not allow something that could affect the future of the country to happen.
He could, of course, take Qin Yi away without anyone noticing. But if someone found out that Qin Yi was missing, they would definitely connect it to him, the sect leader who had lost an "important treasure" not long ago.
No matter how hard he tried to hide it, the truth could not be concealed.
Once the news got out, Lv Yuankai could predict what kind of impact it would have.
It wasn't that he admired Qin Yi's abilities in alchemy. It was that he really needed someone like that. Jade Willow Country needed someone like that to lead the way and develop the alchemy industry in Jade Willow Country.
After all, before Qin Yi, there was already a precedent. If something had happened to Qin Yi, then the people of the alchemy world would definitely think that the higher-ups of Jade Willow Country were trying to suppress the people of the alchemy world, even if they didn't have any concrete evidence.
Even if they didn't think that way, they would definitely feel that being the number one alchemist in Jade Willow Country was a curse that could endanger one's life at any time.
If that was the case, then the alchemy industry would probably lose the will to improve. Whether it was martial arts or alchemy, losing the will to improve was a terrifying thing.
Therefore, even if they found out that this matter had something to do with Qin Yi, they still had to think about how to deal with it!
"Forget it."
Lv Yuankai sighed and said, "Let's observe for a bit longer."
At this moment, his ears suddenly twitched. He heard footsteps coming from the foot of the mountain where Qin Yi was. They were quickly approaching the cave.
"Could it be that they finally can't sit still anymore?"
Lv Yuankai's originally disappointed heart was suddenly filled with hope. But when he saw who it was, his brows immediately furrowed.
"It's them?"
The newcomers were none other than Fu Yan and Hu She. Ever since they lost to Qin Yi in the disciple assessment arena, they seemed to have a good impression of Qin Yi.
"Looks like it's just a simple visit."
Even at a time like this, Lv Yuankai could still maintain his composure and judgment. He didn't push the blame onto anyone because of this.
He clearly knew these two people quite well.
First of all, these two people weren't particularly strong! Although they were considered top-notch existences among the direct disciples, the two of them clearly did not have the strength to deal with Ye Liang. Of course, they couldn't be the culprit who kidnapped Qin Zhen and the others.
Secondly, there was the two people's personalities. As the direct disciples of the second elder of the Brushing Willow Sect, these two people had the shadow of the second elder in many ways.
