Ren Shuman was slightly surprised to hear this.
However, she quickly came to her senses. The fact that the mad old man had taken Qin Yi as a disciple, and had even gone to prison to do so, was enough to show that Qin Yi was extraordinary.
She and Lan Baizhi, as the mad old man's disciples for many years, understood his temperament and personality very well.
Although the mad old man appeared crazy and unreliable, he was actually very arrogant and his standards were frighteningly high!
He would never take just anyone as a disciple.
Lan Baizhi continued, "I just called the mad old man again, and I still can't reach him. Can you contact him on your end?"
"I can't reach him," Ren Shuman replied.
"Forget it. It's difficult for us to find this mad old man unless he contacts us..."
Lan Baizhi watched the car carrying Qin Yi and the other two drive further and further away, eventually becoming as small as an ant. She said, "Since we already know Qin Yi is going to Hell Island and we know the time, if we're worried, we can go with him then!"
"Alright!"
"By the way, what's your situation now? Have you found anything?" Lan Baizhi asked again.
"I have a slight lead."
"Okay, I've already parted ways with Qin Yi. I'll come over to find you!"
...
Because Qin Yi needed to return to Hai City, he got out of the car as soon as they returned to the downtown area of the capital city, preparing to head to the airport.
As he got out of the car, Qin Yi said to Liang Jinghong and Li Changsheng, "By the way, if you have the chance, you can look for the Blood Crystal Orchid!"
Regarding the Blood Crystal Orchid, Li Changsheng, like Lan Baizhi, had never heard of it and didn't know what it was.
Liang Jinghong heard this and asked, "Qin Yi, are you referring to the medicinal herb Blood Crystal Orchid?"
"Yes," Qin Yi nodded.
"What do you need the Blood Crystal Orchid for?" Liang Jinghong asked, confused. "Moreover, the Blood Crystal Orchid is rarer than hundreds of years old ginseng or reishi mushrooms. It will probably be difficult to find!"
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal that he was looking for the Blood Crystal Orchid to save Wang Kaitong.
The Blood Crystal Orchid was too rare. If he couldn't find it, telling the two of them now would only give them hope and then disappoint them.
"Just look for it first, I have my own use for it!"
Qin Yi did not explain further and stated it directly.
Liang Jinghong did not ask any more questions and agreed, "Okay, don't worry, we will do our best to find it!"
Qin Yi had just saved Li Changsheng, which was a great kindness to the Order Hall. They would naturally do their best to fulfill any requests.
"Alright, if there's any news, remember to inform me immediately!"
Qin Yi left these words and departed without delay.
Liang Jinghong and Li Changsheng also returned to the headquarters of the Order Hall.
Qin Yi arrived at the airport, bought a ticket to Hai City, and waited for boarding.
While waiting, Qin Yi encountered a group of people.
This group consisted of four people. Their clothing and demeanor were similar to ordinary people, with no discernible difference.
However, all four had cold expressions, and an invisible, unpleasant aura emanated from them.
Ordinary people might not feel this aura, but Qin Yi, as a cultivator, was extremely sensitive to it. He could clearly sense it even from several meters away.
Qin Yi looked at the four people, and his brows furrowed slightly.
In addition to the aura they emitted, he could also tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people, but warriors!
Although the four of them tried their best to dress like ordinary people, their agile footsteps and the aura they exuded were impossible to hide.
Perhaps sensing Qin Yi's gaze, an old man with a hooked nose, walking at the forefront, also looked at Qin Yi.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Qin Yi did not avert his gaze. Seeing the old man with the hooked nose look at him, he even smiled and nodded.
"Hmph!"
Unexpectedly, instead of returning the polite gesture, the old man with the hooked nose let out a cold snort.
Qin Yi's smile froze instantly.
The next moment, the old man with the hooked nose withdrew his gaze and, leading the three behind him, quickened their pace and left.
As the other three left, they all turned to look at Qin Yi, their eyes unfriendly.
A moment later, the four left the airport. Qin Yi watched their retreating backs and thought to himself that the four did not seem like good people...
Of course, even though the four looked like bad people, they hadn't done anything, so Qin Yi couldn't be bothered to deal with them!
Qin Yi went to the departure lounge, sat down, took out his phone, and played with it while waiting for the boarding time.
More than ten minutes passed, and it was not yet time to board. While playing with his phone, Qin Yi suddenly felt something.
He looked down at the ground in the distance and saw a small dark shadow. With a few flickers, it quickly reached his feet!
Immediately, the small dark shadow leaped from the ground, attempting to fly onto his body.
Whoosh.
Qin Yi reached out and easily caught the small dark shadow in his hand, preventing it from pouncing on him.
Holding the small dark shadow in his hand, Qin Yi finally saw what it was. It was a small black worm!
More accurately, this small black worm was a Gu worm!!!
The small black worm was only two to three centimeters long, with no eyes or mouth, and not a single hair on its body. It looked just like a leech.
The only difference between it and a leech was that a leech was green, while this one was black.
Qin Yi held the small black worm in his hand. The worm thrashed incessantly, trying to break free from his grasp and burrow into his body.
Qin Yi immediately channeled a stream of true qi, enveloping the small black worm.
Inside the true qi shield, the small black worm struggled continuously, but it was all in vain.
Qin Yi sat in his seat, looking at the small black worm wriggling inside the true qi shield in his palm, feeling somewhat confused.
How could a Gu worm appear in the airport?
Most importantly, this Gu worm was clearly heading for him just now!
As Qin Yi was surprised and confused, he gazed at the small black worm in the true qi shield, his nose twitched, and he suddenly smelled a familiar scent from the worm...
That's right, it was the same unpleasant scent he had sensed from the four people with the hooked nose earlier!
Qin Yi immediately stood up from his seat: "It was you..."
At that moment, a strong sense of anger and even murderous intent arose in Qin Yi's heart.
He had only exchanged a glance with the four people with the hooked nose. They didn't know each other, and there was no prior enmity, yet they had tried to kill him!
This small black worm was a Gu worm. If he hadn't been powerful, and it had truly burrowed into his body, even if he didn't die, he would have become a walking corpse, controlled by them!
Therefore, Qin Yi was extremely angry. He had no grievance or enmity with them, so why would they try to harm him in such a way?
