"We can use this as an excuse to swallow up the entire Zhongjun."
Dan Jingtao stood up and chimed in, "Yes, yes, let him throw his meat bun at a dog, he'll never get it back!"
The crowd immediately became unhappy: "Taozi, who are you calling a dog?"
"what?"
Dan Jingtao realized what was happening and quickly looked at Lin Yi cautiously: "Um, I was talking about myself."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Lin Yi smiled and turned to look at Youxia: "Now that the strategy has been set, the most important thing is intelligence. Zhongjun is a united front, so we'll have to rely on Elder You for help."
The wandering swordsman nodded slightly.
Among Lin Yi's core leaders, he was the most low-key, yet also the most unfathomable.
With him personally stepping in, everyone immediately felt reassured.
That said, intelligence wasn't just about the wandering knights; the most important factor was actually Lin Yi himself.
Wang Shide's feigned support and genuine praise, in the eyes of outsiders, can indeed be considered a rather clever and open scheme.
However, from Lin Yi's perspective, it was a classic case of being too clever for one's own good.
Wang Shide was unaware that his defection was tantamount to voluntarily helping Lin Yi open up the territory of Zhongjun.
Now, through the perspective of the new world's map, Lin Yi can see all the arrangements within Zhongjun clearly.
Although the dragon head staff representing Zhongjun was not present, and the information Lin Yi could see was not as detailed as that of Longjun and Nanjun, it was still more than enough from a strategic perspective.
After a quick scan, Lin Yi could clearly see the locations of the high-intensity energy entities in Zhongjun.
"Ok?"
Lin Yi's eyelids suddenly twitched.
His main focus was on Wang Shide's top combat forces, as well as Wen Ruoxu's position.
Most of the top combat forces are located near the capital of Zhongjun.
Wen Ruoxu, Wang Baoquan, and Diao Xiong were nowhere to be seen.
"It seems there really is something fishy going on."
Lin Yi had already sensed that Wen Ruoxu had been taken away right under his nose, but the other party was too well hidden, and even with his keen insight, he couldn't pinpoint their location immediately.
The reason for letting Wen Ruoxu go earlier was partly to win over Xu Shengchao, but also partly to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.
Nowadays, Wen Ruoxu is no longer a significant threat to him; he's perfect as bait.
Lin Yi initially thought that the person behind the scenes was Wang Shide.
The other party has sufficient motive and should possess sufficient ability, but it now seems highly likely that it is someone else entirely.
Fortunately, there was still Diao Xiong.
As long as Diao Xiong is around, it's only a matter of time before he regains control of Wen Ruoxu's whereabouts.
Lin Yi scanned the map of Zhongjun again, but this time, he was truly taken aback.
Within the territory of Zhongjun, a black hole has appeared out of nowhere, and it is a fast-moving humanoid black hole.
"There are such experts?"
Lin Yi immediately became interested.
Without a doubt, this is an absolute master.
Even top-tier combatants, including Wang Shide, are not at the level of black holes in Lin Yi's view.
But this person can.
Judging from his movements, this person is probably not a local expert from Zhongjun, but rather a temporary outsider.
At this critical juncture, the sudden appearance of such a mysterious figure in Zhongjun is not something Lin Yi believes to be purely coincidental.
Could Wen Ruoxu's disappearance be related to this person?
Lin Yi immediately summoned a wandering swordsman and told him the coordinates of the mysterious master.
The wandering swordsman immediately understood: "Young master, do you intend to activate the spies in Zhongjun and try to make contact with this person?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "Let's observe first. It's too risky to make any rash contact."
A super expert of this caliber can make a move that impacts the entire situation, and a single disagreement could even overturn the whole course of events.
"understood."
The wandering knight immediately responded and left.
Lin Yi observed for a moment, then turned his gaze to the interior of the new world.
With a time flow rate difference of thousands of times, one day outside is equivalent to three years inside.
In just a few days, Bao Yurou had grown from a skinny little girl into a graceful young woman.
His words and actions exuded a heroic spirit.
She subtly bears a resemblance to Luo Junying.
Her current level of understanding impressed Lin Yi even more.
Yuanying Dzogchen!
She had indeed amazed everyone by reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in a single day, but the path of cultivation is fraught with adversity, and no matter how talented one is, it is impossible to ascend to the heavens in one step.
As you progress, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
According to Lin Yi's previous estimate, it would be quite good if she could reach the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, but she did not expect it to far exceed his expectations!
If this trend continues, this woman definitely has a bright future.
If Bao Yurou's personal progress only exceeded Lin Yi's expectations, then the performance of these indigenous people truly surprised Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't actually have much hope for these original indigenous people.
After all, at the most basic level of physiological structure, they are born with some defects. They can barely cultivate, but their natural talent is definitely not good.
If placed in the outside world, they would only be considered among the worst.
After dozens or even hundreds of generations of iteration and continuous improvement in their basic talents, that will be the time when they truly unleash their potential.
Right now, it's just a process of building up our foundation.
Unexpectedly, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator emerged from among this group!
For Lin Yi now, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is naturally insignificant, but for the indigenous people whose population is only a few hundred, it is already a miracle.
Of course, this is indeed a miracle.
If Lin Yi hadn't created such a favorable environment for them, and if he hadn't poured so much Dao resources into them, their cultivation would hardly have been so smooth.
Even so, it was still a huge surprise.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and finally came to a conclusion.
"It's definitely good to be simple."
When it comes to cultivation, the only advantage these indigenous people have is one thing they can talk about.
They are pure of heart, like blank sheets of paper.
Judging from this trend, the day I break through to the Divine Realm will probably come much sooner than expected!
Jiang Xiaoshang scoffed, "What are you looking at? This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and earn some Great Dao resources."
Ultimately, if you want to be faster and better, you have to burn through resources like crazy.
One million is just the beginning; we need more one million, or even ten million!
Lin Yi was thrilled.
With his current territory, even disregarding the investment needed for rebuilding, Longjun and Nanjun alone can generate a surplus of at least 100,000 Dao resources annually.
Once the business is run well in the future, doubling the value is not out of the question.
If they were to acquire Zhongjun as well, that number could double again.
Starting with 500,000 dishes a year!
This doesn't even include windfall gains. Lin Yi glanced at it briefly and saw that Zhongjun alone had at least a million resources in stock.
It must be said that Wang Shide is indeed a man of profound learning and experience.
They're easy prey, why not slaughter them!
