Once these tasks were completed, Heir's dinner was ready.

It consisted of simply steamed meat and a bowl of vegetable soup.

The food within the territory remains rather monotonous.

Fortunately, he possesses commendable culinary skills, and with an ample supply of seasonings, her dishes are quite palatable.

Casually, he opened the Lord's book to check on everyone's progress.

However, upon opening it, he discovered he had two unread private messages.

Brother Fong Ha, are you there? Brother Fong, how can you help me? Please reply if you see this.

The messages were from Dong Xiaou sent around noon.

Having been preoccupied all day, he had not accessed the Lord's book until now.

I am here.

Just saw your message.

Funha replied.

The two had conducted several transactions, acquiring a significant amount of shadow stones from each other, thus accelerating the growth of their territories.

Before long, Dong Ju responded, "Brother Fong Ha, can you save me? If you can't help, I truly do not know what to do.

From the statements of the other party, one can discern their current sense of despair and helplessness.

Through several encounters with Dong Xiaoua, he has also gleaned insights into her character.

Dong Xiaoua is a rather cheerful girl capable of swiftly accepting circumstances and responding accordingly.

While others cower within their protective shells, lamenting the cruelty of the world, she has ventured forth, exploring the surrounding terrain.

Although her progress is not as impressive as Fong House, her territory ranks among the upper echelons within the regional lords, yet at this moment she reveals feelings of helplessness and despair.

Do not fret.

What troubles you? Fun inquired.

I have sustained some injuries.

The wounds refuse to heal.

The physician in the channel informs me that my internal organs are ruptured and the bleeding cannot be staunched.

Given the conditions of my territory, I can only await a slow demise.

This revelation caused Fong Ha's brow to furrow once more.

All the lords who had traversed into this world lacked medical capabilities for their domains.

Minor ailments could be endured while serious ones often led to death.

This is why physicians within the channel hold such elevated status.

A modicum of medical knowledge can be exchanged for substantial resources.

Let me see if there is anything that can save you.

How did you sustain these injuries? Fungho continued to inquire.

Rising from the dining table, he gestured for Eir to continue her meal while he returned to the wooden cabin to search for items that might aid in healing.

Subsequently, Dong Xiaou recounted her experiences.

Near her territory lies a grand ancient tomb from which she has reaped considerable benefits.

She utilized the blueprints for her territo's development and sold the shadow stones to Fongghow in exchange for resources, allowing her to progress rapidly.

In the preceding days, the exploration of the tomb had been curtailed due to the beast blood frenzy quest.

Today, she reassembled her forces accompanied by numerous recruited soldiers to delve deeper into the tomb in pursuit of further gains.

However, this time the number of undead within the tomb far surpassed her expectations, although they ultimately triumphed.

It came at a significant cost.

Several soldiers perished, and she herself sustained grave injuries with ruptured internal organs.

Such an injury, one must note, poses a peril, even in the modern world, if not treated promptly.

Dong Jua sought Fong House's assistance with a mindset of tentative hope, harboring little expectation.

She could not conceive of what could possibly mend her wounds.

Alas, I have been overly hasty.

I could have waited until I was stronger and my soldiers had attained a higher rank before venturing forth.

Yet so many lives were lost.

And now I am left in this dire state.

She lamented, her tone filled with despondency.

Although she had not succumbed on the spot, the simple bandaging of her wounds merely delayed the inevitable, altering little in the grand scheme.

Fear not.

Do not rush.

Fong Hoa reassured her.

Brother Fong Hao, do you possess a solution? Dong Xiaou sensed a glimmer of hope.

Indeed, Fong Hao promptly sent the attributes of a particular item.

Exquisite corpse rearing coffin.

Dong Juer responded with confusion.

No, I apologize.

I sent the wrong item.

Healing potion.

Fong Ho quickly rectified his mistake.

The healing potion was something Fong Hao had unearthed in the Enwin Fortress.

She had kept it all this time, fearing that one day she might need it for herself.

But now it seemed more prudent to save Dong Juf first.

Upon seeing the healing potion, hope reignited within Dong Jua's heart.

This world was filled with extraordinary forces, and perhaps this healing potion could save her life.

Brother Fong Ho, I have over five 000 basic resources, a wall blueprint, and 12 shadow stones.

Can I exchange them for this healing potion? Dong Xiaou asked, her excitement palpable.

When faced with a brink of death, one could hardly contain their exhilaration upon finding a glimmer of hope.

Yet, Dong Jua understood well the rarity of the healing potion, as precious as a life itself.

No one could predict when they might encounter danger or sustain injuries.

When the need arises, a healing potion is far more valuable than any blueprint or treasure.

She was uncertain whether Fong how would grant her request.

Just give me the 12 shadow stones.

You can keep the basic resources and the wall blueprint for your own development.

Fongghao replied directly.

He had no shortage of basic resources and taking Dong Xuz would be of little use to him.

He already possessed the wall blueprint which was also unnecessary for him.

It was more of a gesture of support, a favor.

Fong Hao was quite interested in the ancient tomb near her territory.

That is out of the question.

The healing potion is far too valuable.

Dong Jua protested.

Then consider it a debt to me.

You can repay me with something good in the future.

Fongghao countered.

All right, I will owe it to you, brother How.

When I come across something valuable, I'll return the favor.

Very well.

Tend your wounds first, Fongghow instructed, proceeding to initiate the trade.

Acquired 12 shadow stones.

The healing potion vanished and Fong Hao obtained the 12 shadow stones.

These coveted materials commanded a substantial price in the orc market.

Each party had gained what they sought, marking a fruitful exchange.

Chapter 61.

The cranium tribe.

Certainly, the value of an item is determined by its significance to you.

Fong Ho had no use for the healing potion, yet for Dong Xiaua, it was a lifesaving necessity.

Conversely, the shadow stone was of no utility to her, but for Fong Hao, it represented a rare and precious resource.

Each sought what they required, and both were content with their respective acquisitions.
