Chapter 104: Herbal Field Destroyed
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Bai could not help but shake his head when he saw the fool in such a situation. He probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him even if he asked. Just as he was about to leave, he discovered that there was a bit of light missing from the bushes, as if something had fallen there.
He walked over and picked it up. A chill came into his heart, but it was fleeting. Lin Bai frowned. That thing was pitch-black and extremely smooth to the touch. It was probably a jade pendant or something. However, half of it was missing and it seemed to have some kind of creature carved onto it.
Lin Bai touched the pattern. It had refined edges and seemed very ferocious. He did not know what kind of creature it was, because only half of it was remaining and it was broken at a critical point. For the time being, he could not tell whether it was a jade pendant or not.
He held it in his hand and studied it carefully. Only then did he realize that there was another picture on the back. However, the lines were messy, and the picture was somewhat blurry. He could not tell whether it was drawn like this or that someone had damaged it so badly.
“Could it be that they dropped it?”
After looking at it for a long time, he still couldn’t find anything meaningful. Moreover, there wasn’t any spiritual energy fluctuation coming from this thing. It was pitch-black and looked like a metal lump. Lin Bai couldn’t be bothered to care too much about it, so he conveniently put it into his pocket.
After returning to his room, Qian Ran took out the holy healing medicine that he had treasured for many years and forcefully swallowed a few of them. Only then did his face regain some of its ruddy color.
They relied on the fact that their cultivation level was not bad. They were third-grade alchemists, and Qian Ran quickly advanced to fourth-grade. Not only did he have someone backing him up, but he often ran amok in the Alchemist a.s.sociation and bullied the weak.
They had to take the good herbal plants first. No one dared to disobey him. If anyone disobeyed him the slightest bit, he would think of ways to make fun of others, and he would even ask the low-level disciples to provide him with good things.
He claimed this was a show of respect for their senior brother. It made the other new alchemists suffer unspeakably. Once they resisted or refused, they would attract the revenge of this group, so they could only lower their heads in frustration.
However, they did not expect to kick an iron plate facing Lin Bai.
Qian Ran meditated for a moment before he slowly opened his eyes. “I really can’t take this! If this matter is spread out, where will our face go in the future?”
His companion beside him revealed a helpless look and carefully said, “But we can’t beat him.”
Qian Ran’s gaze was like a knife as he casually gave him a look. “Are you stupid? Just because we can’t beat him doesn’t mean that others can’t. We can ask for external help.”
Another person said, “Why don’t we just forget about it? It’s better to just let it go. I heard that he’s going to have a match with Zhou Ruibo anyway. At that time, we won’t even need to fight.”
Zhou Ruibo was Zhong Haoran’s disciple.
Qian Ran seemed to have thought of something and smiled coldly. Before he could think of how to deal with Lin Bai, the next morning, a young disciple ran in in a panic.
“Senior brother Qian, something bad has happened!”
At this moment, the sky had not yet lit up. Qian Ran, who had been disturbed in his dream, was suddenly a little impatient.
“What’s that bad? If there’s anything, we can talk about it later. Didn’t I tell you I need to recuperate for the next few days? If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb me.”
The disciple’s face was pale as he stammered, “Yes, something happened at the herbal field!”
Upon hearing this news, Qian Ran didn’t even bother to put on his shoes. He hurriedly ran over to the herbal field to take a look. The scene before his eyes made his vision go black. He felt his blood churn in his heart, and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
The holy healing medicine that he had consumed yesterday was consumed for nothing. Not only did his injuries worsen, but the incident at the herbal field was so serious that not only Qian Ran, but the other related disciples couldn’t escape either.
After all, the owner of the herbal field had an extremely high status in the Alchemist a.s.sociation. Now that he was out on an errand, if he returned to see such a scene, their ending would not be good. Thinking about the punishment they might receive, the faces of the few of them turned pale.
“It’s over now. Who is so vicious to do such a thing?”
Qian Ran’s expression was unsightly. As if he had thought of something, a figure appeared in his mind. “It’s definitely him! Other than him, no one else will do such a thing!”
…
Initially, Lin Bai thought that Qian Ran and the others would stop for a few days after being taught a lesson. He did not expect that they would come looking for him aggressively early in the morning the next day.
“Lin Bai, get out here!”
The door was hammered so hard that it made banging sounds. It shook crazily. With such a strong force, it would probably fall apart after a few hits.
Before Lin Bai could react, the people outside the door were afraid that he would run away. The door fell to the ground with a “Bang”.
Lin Bai’s gaze was slightly cold as he looked at the group of people who had barged in. The ones leading them were Qian Ran’s group from yesterday. There were also quite a few new faces. They were probably the helpers that he had called over.
These people had unfriendly expressions. Qian Ran’s expression was even more distorted as if the two of them had an irreconcilable feud.
“What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Qian Ran sneered, “What are we doing? I still want to ask you what are you doing. Why did you start to act atrociously and take revenge maliciously just because you’re strong? Do you really think that you did it without anyone knowing?”
Hearing this, Lin Bai frowned, “What are you talking about?”
Qian Ran’s eyes seemed to be bleeding. He gritted his teeth and said,
“You’re still pretending to be stupid. I have to say that your acting skills are pretty good. Believe it or not, I’ll make you really stupid right now! I’ll make you fool Li’s company!”
The others also looked indignant.. “Senior brother Qian, why are we wasting our time talking to this person? Let’s just ask the elders of the law enforcement hall to come over and see what he’s done. We’ll beat him up and he’ll confess!
