Legend of Reborn Alchemist

Lin Cheng's heart couldn't help but sink. It was obvious that these servants were much stronger than him. If he were to be surrounded by them at this time, the consequences would be dire.

When Lu Yi Wen saw Lin City's reaction, he immediately noticed the servants. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Junior brother Lin, who did you offend?"

Lin Cheng nodded and said, "That's right. Senior Sister Lu, I will take my leave first. "

Seeing that the servants had increased their speed towards him, Lin City immediately turned around and left. If they were outside, he could easily rely on the terrain to deal with them. If he had a good plan, he was confident he could get rid of one or two of them.

However, this was their territory, so Lin City could only leave.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, follow me!"

"I know of a way to leave the academy and get rid of them," he said in a low voice.

Lin City was stunned, but Lu Yiwen was already walking towards another direction.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Cheng quickly followed.

The two of them passed through the crowd of people participating in the assessment, and then circled around the academy a few times. Finally, Lu Yiwen brought Lin City to a small door.

"This is …?"

Lin City looked outside and found that it was an extremely spacious farmland. He couldn't help but look at Lu Yiwen in confusion.

"This is the academy's medicine field. Ordinary students cannot pass through here. But, Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, since you are not a student of the academy, you should go through here as long as you are not caught."

Lin City was stunned. This was actually the academy's medicinal field? How could there be no one watching?

No matter which power it was, the medicinal field was always the most important one. They would always send someone to guard it, but no one could be seen within the medicinal field. How could the East Continent Academy be so confident?

Seeing Lin City's puzzled expression, Lu Yi Wen explained, "This is a small path. Usually, it only opens when picking medicinal herbs. There is a door in front of this place, and after that is the herb field. There are guards there." However, if you just want to leave, you don't need to go through the second door. You just need to walk along the wall after you exit the door. "

Lin City then came to a realization. He cupped his fists towards Lu Yi Wen and said, "Senior Sister Lu, thank you very much."

Slightly shaking his head, Lu Yi Wen said, "Junior brother Lin, there is no need to be polite. This is just a small matter. If you can help my father and bring me the jade medallion, then I should be thanking you. It's just that I was too sad yesterday and forgot to thank you.

Lin Cheng smiled, "Then we won't have to thank each other. Senior Sister Lu, farewell."

"Wait."

"Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, I will go with you. I also want to ask you about some things regarding my father."

Lin Cheng asked, "Senior Sister Lu, you just said that the students of the academy can't leave this place, right?"

Louis shook his head and said, "We will walk along the edge of the medicinal field. We need to be careful so that we won't get caught. "Let's hurry up and go. If we delay them any longer, those people might catch up to us again."

Lin Cheng did not hesitate any longer and nodded his head. He followed behind Lu Yi Wen and easily jumped through the small door.

The two of them carefully walked along the edges of the herb field. During this period of time, they continuously evaded the patrolling guards, and it was only after more than an hour that they finally left the herb field.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, where are you going next?" While the two of them were walking, Lu Yi Wen suddenly asked.

"I still don't know. He might be going to Yongan city, or he might be going to train."

Lin Cheng mumbled, "Senior Sister Lu, please hold on. I don't think those people will chase after us anymore. I'll just leave by myself."

However, Lu Yiwen shook his head and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin must not be careless. The area within a dozen miles is the territory of the Eastern Region Academy, and the influence of the Academy can be extended to hundreds of thousands of miles around. Those people just now were obviously people of the Institution; if they wanted to find you, you would have nowhere to hide in this area."

Of course, he knew that the influence of the academy was immense, and the scope of its influence was extremely vast. But he didn't think too much about it, and soon after, he would head for the Boundless Forest. No matter how powerful the academy was, it wouldn't be that easy to find him in the Boundless Forest.

Moreover, even if those servants found him, Lin City was confident that they could fight them in the Boundless Forest, or even kill them all!

However, these words were not good for Lin City to say to Lu Yi. Just as Lin City wanted to find other reasons to explain, he heard Lu Yi Wen say, "Junior brother Lin, don't worry. I'm quite familiar with this place. Follow me and I can send you out safely."

After which, without waiting for Lin Cheng to reject her offer, she took the lead and left.

Lin City had no choice but to follow.

The two of them walked for another two hours before they finally left the Eastern Region Academy. The towering walls of the academy became much smaller in their line of sight.

"Senior Sister Lu, where are we heading?" Lin Cheng asked. He noticed that the direction that Louis had taken him in was actually towards the southern part of the Eastern Region. He could not help but feel curious.

The closest city near the East State Academy was Yongan City on the north side, and the one to the east was Boundless Forest, while the one to the south was hundreds of miles away from the city. Would Lu Yiwen want to catch up with it and bring it to another city?

However, when Lin City thought about it, his memories were from a hundred years ago. Perhaps, in these close to a hundred years, there would be other cities that would be established here?

Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you might not know this, but there are relay stations on several public roads several dozen miles around the Eastern Region Academy. These relay stations are all part of the Eastern Region Academy.

"Right now, the only safe place is the Boundless Forest in the east. However, we can't go directly to the Boundless Forest. There's also a relay station between the academy and the Boundless Forest, so we have to take a detour from the south."

Lin Cheng could not help but ask, "We? Senior Sister Lu, you're going to Boundless Forest too? "

He was not surprised to hear that Lu Yi Wen wanted to go to Boundless Forest. After all, his goal was also to go to Boundless Forest. However, from Lu Yi Wen's tone, it seemed like she wanted to go as well. Lin City was slightly surprised.

Lu Yiwen shook his head and said, "I can't leave the academy for too long, but you've brought me a jade plate over a thousand miles. I must repay this favor, and I've already gone to the Boundless Forest to train a few times, so I'm rather familiar with the terrain here. So I have to personally send you to the nearby Boundless Forest."

Just as Lin Cheng wanted to refuse, Lu Yiwen quickly said, "Junior brother Lin, if you refuse, then you will want me to feel guilty for my entire life. Furthermore, only after getting rid of those few people will I be able to calm down and ask you about some matters. "

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing that Lu Yi Wen was so insistent, he could only nod slightly.

However, he was a bit curious in his heart. The people chasing him were only servants, yet they had such great authority. How could they send word to mobilize the people at the nearby relay stations?

It would not be surprising if Patriarch Seven, Shui Ani, gave the order for everyone to kill him. However, Lu Yiwen did not know that it was Shui Yang who wanted to kill him, yet he had spent so much effort and caution.

Perhaps Luivan was just being too timid, or perhaps she recognized the servants as Shui Ani's men?

Lin Cheng suppressed his doubts and headed in the direction of Boundless Forest.

One day later.

He had finally arrived at Boundless Forest.

Lu Yi Wen was indeed very familiar with the terrain here. He easily avoided the relay stations of the East State Academy and even went to the relay stations by himself, bringing back two water bags and some food.

Finally, the two of them arrived at the outskirts of Boundless Forest.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, drink some water."

Stopping, Lu Yi Wen took out a water bag and passed it to Lin Cheng, "Let's stop here. I can't waste too much time, otherwise, I'll be punished if I go back. I hope Junior Lin will forgive me."

Lin Cheng shook his head, "Senior Sister Lu, you're too polite. I'm already very grateful for sending me here."

Although he did not know what exactly that black iron piece was, but at least he knew that the black iron block was very special, and it was definitely not an ordinary iron piece. For him, this was enough.

Therefore, in the face of such enthusiasm from Louis, he was very grateful.

However, Lin City felt a little strange inside because of his gratitude. Lu Yiwen was too enthusiastic, causing Lin City to think that he didn't give the jade token to Lu Yiwen, but rather, was the savior of her father.

As these thoughts flashed through Lin Cheng's mind, he opened the water bag and raised his head to drink.

However, just as the water bag was about to reach his mouth, Lin Cheng's hands abruptly halted as his brows furrowed slightly. He was unable to detect what was happening, but his heart was filled with terror and trepidation.

There was poison in the water!

As an alchemist, Lin Cheng had a deep understanding of poisons, and as soon as the water bag was about to reach his mouth, he could smell a faint smell. As long as he did not smell it carefully, he would be able to determine what kind of poison was in the water.

Forcing down the shock in his heart, Lin City glanced at Lu Yiwen from the corner of his eyes, only to discover that she was smiling at him. Lin City immediately pretended to look around, pretending to drink two mouthfuls of water before putting away the water bag.

"Senior Sister Lu, you said that you want to know more about your father?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked.

"That's right!"

Lu Yiwen nodded and said, "Junior brother Lin, because I was too sad yesterday, I didn't have the time to ask. I want to know, why was my father being chased by the warriors of the Chu Family?
