The relationships behind this are incredibly complex, and after thinking about it for a while, Feng Changge felt extremely overwhelmed.
But when he turned to look at Lin Yu, he still looked completely unperturbed.
Looking at Lin Yu, Feng Changge felt incredibly amazed, because if you only looked at his appearance, this guy might be even younger than himself.
However, in terms of their style of doing things, Lin Yu is much more mature than Feng Changge.
Even Feng Changge was somewhat surprised, wondering why Lin Yu was able to react to what had just happened so quickly.
"Did you understand?" Lin Yu asked, seeing that Feng Changge hadn't answered for a long time. He thought that the brat hadn't taken his words to heart again.
"I heard you, I heard you. I remember everything you said. I know that this time I am here representing the ancient Phoenix Clan to find medicinal herbs, and I absolutely cannot do anything unnecessary."
"But... what if we can't find those centuries-old herbs in those uncontrolled or chaotic territories?" Feng Changge continued to ask.
Feng Changge may be inexperienced, but he's not stupid.
Moreover, Feng Changge himself came from a large race, so he was even more knowledgeable about these matters concerning the territory.
Since it has reached the point of being unmanaged, it means that such land will basically have no valuable resources left.
If there were any precious resources, the land would have been divided up by the Lineage long ago.
But if he and Lin Yu couldn't find the century-old medicinal herb in these uncontrolled lands, and couldn't establish connections with the Lineage, wouldn't that mean their operation was doomed to failure?
But Your Majesty, you are still waiting for these herbs to save your life!
"Don't worry about that for now. I just scanned the situation with my mental power. The land area of the Twelve True Palaces is larger than I imagined, and although the Lineage have nominally divided up the land here, they actually still have quite a bit left."
"In the next few days, we'll focus on finding these lands, which will also give those Lineage some time to observe us."
"Once they understand what we're looking for, they might contact us on their own."
Lin Yu spoke with a serious expression, but his eyes were full of confidence.
"Contact us? How is that possible?!" Feng Changge asked strangely. "If such a treasure truly existed, the Lineage would be too busy trying to digest it themselves to contact us."
"You're unaware of this. From what I understand, the Lineage aren't particularly averse to outside forces."
"Think about it, the Lineage have been checking and balancing each other for so many years. If they rely solely on their internal strength, it will be difficult to break this balance. However, if they use external forces, this balance can be broken with ease."
"What do you mean by that? Didn't you just say that the Lineage are very united?" Lin Yu's words made Feng Changge even more puzzled.
Lin Yu just said that in dangerous situations, the Lineage would unite against a common enemy. How come now Lin Yu's saying that the Lineage welcome outside forces?
Aren't these two states a bit contradictory?
"You wouldn't understand," Lin Yu smiled mysteriously.
"If the enemy's target is the entire Twelve True Palaces, then naturally they are the enemy of the Lineage. But if their target is only one of the Lineage, then they are the friend of the remaining three great Lineage."
"After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Feng Changge is still too inexperienced and doesn't understand the dangers involved."
In fact, during the time he was busy dealing with the Water Droplets, Lin Yu also troubled Daoist Shouyang with a matter: to help spread his name.
Feng Changge and the others were unaware of this because they had been staying in the residence of Daoist Shouyang for a long time and were not sensitive to information from the outside world. However, in reality, Lin Yu was already a well-known figure in the entire Netherworld Immortal Realm.
After all, dealing with that mysterious desert is not something that just any cultivator can do!
Those monstrous hounds and those dark green insects terrified countless cultivators, but Lin Yu has now dealt with them, turning the entire desert into a pure land, which naturally attracted the attention of several forces.
Experts like Lin Yu, who are currently "unaffiliated with any sect or faction," are precisely the cultivators most welcomed by the Lineage.
"Well... the Lineage have so many experts, they wouldn't possibly set their sights on us, would they?"
"Moreover, if they knew my identity as an ancient phoenix clan, they would understand even better that, apart from the fallen black phoenix, no one in our ancient phoenix clan has ever betrayed our race."
What he wants from us, we will not give, nor can we give.
"What if they realize this?"
Feng Changge asked somewhat anxiously.
Clearly, due to spending so much time in the residence of Daoist Shouyang, Fengchang Pavilion had become out of touch with the current state of the Netherworld Immortal Realm.
Therefore, after Lin Yu finished speaking, Feng Changge subconsciously assumed that Lin Yu intended to use his identity as an ancient phoenix clan member.
After all, phoenix blood essence is an extremely valuable treasure, a dream item for many cultivators.
"What if that herb has already fallen into the hands of one of the Lineage, and they want me to exchange it for phoenix blood essence? What should I do then?"
To Lin Yu's surprise, Fengchang Pavilion actually started to agonize over this matter.
Looking at Feng Changge's serious expression, Lin Yu felt speechless.
This kid thinks he's so important! He seems to have completely missed the most crucial part of the problem!
But seeing how engrossed Feng Changge was, Lin Yu couldn't bear to shatter his illusions, so he replied, "That's a matter for later. Let's not think about it now. The most important thing is to find some medicinal herbs."
"Perhaps everyone thinks this place has no usable resources, but there are always some that slip through the net. That's when we can take advantage of the loophole."
Lin Yu painted a rosy picture for Feng Changge, who nodded with a worried expression, clearly still lost in his own imagination.
Looking at the state of Fengchang Pavilion, Lin Yu sighed helplessly. In reality, he did not place most of his hopes on these "no man's lands," but because everything was unknown, he had to give it a try.
If they can indeed find something in these places, then Lin Yu and Feng Changge won't need to alarm the Lineage behind them.
