Trading

Zhou Tong wasn't really sure if Luo Feng would agree to the deal, but the current time was the best opportunity; it would be much more difficult after that.

When Luo Feng gave his approval, Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have had to wait until Luo Feng came out of Ruins No. 9 before coming to Fog Island, which would have wasted a whole year.

"Visiting the ruins requires the right timing, and now is not the time. However, I can give you payment in advance!"

After saying that, Zhou Tong turned around and grabbed Li Yao, who seemed to be discussing something on the ground.

Li Yao had no ability to resist and was quickly carried by the mental force towards the location of Zhou Tong and Luo Feng.

Halfway through the flight, Li Yao realized what was happening and immediately cried out for help: "Elder Fa'er, save me!"

In fact, Councilor Fal noticed Li Yao's disappearance the moment she did, but her head was still throbbing. She knew very well from their exchange that she was no match for Zhou Tong, so she didn't react to his attack.

Representative Fal intended to just pretend and get away with it, but unexpectedly, Li Yao shamelessly cried out for help.

Out of consideration for his status and reputation, Representative Far had no choice but to intervene.

"Sir, Li Yao is an important member of our HR Alliance. I wonder what he has done to offend you?"

Zhou Tong completely ignored Councilor Far's threatening questioning and moved Li Yao, who was under his mental control, in front of Luo Feng.

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please!"

Looking at Li Yao, who was at his mercy, Luo Feng's murderous face broke into a gleeful smile.

"Li Yao, you used to act recklessly because of your power and influence, and now you're reaping the consequences. How does it feel?"

Li Yao snorted disdainfully and said coldly, "Luo Feng, you're just a petty person who's gotten ahead. Without this senior, you'd be nothing more than a dog I'd chase after. What's there to be proud of?"

"Senior, what price did Luo Feng pay to get you to take action? I, Li Yao, am willing to pay ten times that! My wife, Vinina, is the younger sister of the patriarch of the Bolenas family, one of the ten major families in the HR Alliance. I also have a life-or-death friendship with Senior Yan Hai, the sixth elder. As long as you don't interfere in my affairs with Luo Feng, you will not only receive generous compensation, but also our friendship."

Zhou Tong almost burst out laughing after hearing Li Yao's desperate struggle.

How can a frog in a well know the vastness of the world, or understand the scenery seen by an eagle?

Shaking his head, Zhou Tong looked at Luo Feng: "Aren't you going to make a move? Are you waiting until the New Year?"

Luo Feng gave an awkward smile: "It's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that Li Yao has the Black God Set, and I can't break through his defenses..."

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "If you don't mind taking revenge yourself, I can do it."

Luo Feng quickly nodded: "No problem!"

Luo Feng was also afraid that if the time dragged on, things might change if the HR Alliance sent more support. Now was a rare opportunity, and it would be best if Li Yao died.

Zhou Tong immediately raised his right hand towards Li Yao, and with a thought, unleashed a powerful poison technique.

A stream of eerie green poisonous gas erupted from Zhou Tong's right hand, instantly corroding Li Yao and his Black God Suit to nothing.

Luo Feng was stunned by what he saw. Li Yao, whom he had tried his best to break through, died so easily without leaving a trace!

On the ground, Senator Farr and the other two were on high alert when they saw the poison gas released by Zhou Tong. They were all on high alert, but dared not make a sound, for fear of being noticed and becoming the next Li Yao.

Zhou Tong waved his hand to retract the poisonous gas emitted by the Great Poison Technique, quite satisfied with the power it had demonstrated.

"Let's go! Once we get the item, you'll be able to easily defeat Li Yao, who's wearing the Black God Set."

Luo Feng had just recovered from his shock when he heard Zhou Tong's words and was surprised again.

"Are the things in those ruins really that powerful?"

Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile: "No matter how much I say now, it's hard to believe without seeing you in person. Once you see it, you'll understand without me saying a word."

Luo Feng nodded slightly. Indeed, no matter how eloquently Zhou Tong spoke, he still harbored doubts in his heart.

"Are we going to the ruins you mentioned now?"

"No rush. The spirits of plants on this island may be like roadside weeds compared to the ruins, but even a mosquito is meat. Even if you don't need them, you can still trade them. Many treasures on Earth are in the hands of major powers, and if you don't take them, you'll just be letting the HR Alliance benefit."

The key point is that Zhou Tong had previously obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart and tried to cultivate it by absorbing the essence of the wood and grass of the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart using the Azure Emperor Wood King Technique. Finally, he lived up to expectations and felt touched.

Zhou Tong just used his mental power to scan Fog Island and discovered seven plant spirits that were equal to or even better than the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart. Although the number was far from enough for Zhou Tong to master the Azure Emperor Wood King cultivation technique, little by little, he would eventually succeed.

Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Luo Feng recalled the feeling of breaking through using the spirit of plants and trees before, and immediately nodded in agreement. At the same time, he thought of his younger brother Luo Hua's leg. The spirit of plants and trees was so powerful that it might be able to heal it.

Seeing Luo Feng lost in thought, Zhou Tong could roughly guess what he was thinking, and immediately said, "I found nearly a hundred plant spirits when I explored this island before, some of which can regenerate severed limbs, but you'll have to collect them yourself."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng exclaimed with delight, "Are there really plant spirits that can regenerate severed limbs?"

"It's mentioned on the martial arts forum! Read more books in the future; knowledge is very important."

After hearing this, Luo Feng immediately opened his watch and logged into the martial arts forum to search for information.

After a while, he learned that the herb spirit that could heal severed limbs was called Hundred Dew Grass. Luo Feng was overjoyed and couldn't help but look at Wudao with longing in his eyes.

"Shall we start now?"

Zhou Tong didn't answer, but instead showed his actions.

Upon seeing this, Luo Feng hurriedly followed closely behind.

On the other side, Councilor Far and the other two, seeing Zhou Tong leave with Luo Feng, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were terrified that after killing Li Yao, Zhou Tong would kill them as well to silence them.

"Elder Fal, let's leave here quickly and wait for the other elders to arrive before making any further plans."

Councilor Far immediately agreed to Cattelan's proposal and then took the three of them and flew swiftly towards the edge of Fog Island.

Previously, when Representative Far was injured by Zhou Tong, Cattelan, at Li Yao's suggestion, notified the Bolenas family for help. After Li Yao's death, Representative Far also contacted his teacher for help.

Meanwhile, deep within Kirishima Island.

Zhou Tong is currently collecting seven plant spirits of the same grade as the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart. Luo Feng, on the other hand, is prioritizing finding the Hundred Dew Grass, but he doesn't overlook any other plant spirits he encounters along the way.

When the two reunited, Luo Feng's backpack was almost overflowing with the spirits of plants and trees.

Just then, a smart fighter jet from the Extreme Martial Arts School rushed in from the thick fog outside the Fog Island.

"Beep! Beep!"

Luo Feng's communication watch suddenly rang; it was a call from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"Zhou Tong, reinforcements from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy have arrived. Will it affect you?"

Zhou Tong waved his hand and said indifferently, "Don't worry about them. You should also find an excuse; we should go to the ruins."

Luo Feng nodded, gave a brief report on what had happened on Kirishima Island, and then, citing his injury and need to recuperate, declined to join the reunion for the time being.
