Lana saw the dejected look on Nash's face and immediately burst into laughter. "Didn't catch any fish?"
“How did you catch the fish from yesterday?”
"When you fell, you knocked out two fish!"
"Let's just make do with anything.”
Nash placed the leftover wolf meat from yesterday, which had been soaked by rain all night, on the fire to heat it up. After another
hour, the two of them, having eaten their fill, began exploring the island.
The deserted island was surrounded by sea and was roughly the size of an international sports center. It was relatively small for an
island.
Nash's clothes were tattered, and he could feel a breeze through the tear at his crotch when he walked.
As the sun rose higher, Lana soon becdrenched in sweat. Unable to stand it any longer, Lana supported her hands on her
knees and gasped. "Mr. Calcraft, can we take a break?"

Nash turned and glanced at Lana. "You're a grandmaster-level martial artist yet your stamina is worse than mine, an ordinary
person’s?”
At spoint, Lana had undone the top two buttons of her shirt. In her current position, with her hands on her knees, she was
indeed an enticing sight.
Unaware of Nash's gaze, Lana continued to whine pitifully, "But I'm really tired..."
"Alright, let's take a break,” Nash replied. His Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as he retracted his gaze and walked toward a
shady tree.
True martial artists trained their physical bodies while also cultivating true energy. However, Lana had only cultivated her true
energy, leaving her physical condition similar to that of an ordinary woman.
Lana plopped down under the shade, raising her arm to wipe the sweat from her face. Her white shirt, soaked with sweat, had
be semi-transparent, revealing the pink lace bra underneath. She fanned herself with her collar, her throat parched.
"You rest here for a bit. I'll go find swater,” Nash said.
With that, he took his spear and walked toward the island's center.
Nash made his way through the underbrush to the inner area of the island, where he found a large patch of wild kudzu vines. These
vines contained a lot of water and had snutritional value. He set down his spear and was about to collect the vines when he
noticed a small sapling emitting a green glow.
The sapling was less than a meter tall and had about a dozen palm-sized green leaves that emitted a faint green light. Nash's eyes
lit up.
"This is... a spiritual plant..."
He could not put a nto it, but he knew that this sapling was definitely a spiritual plant. He reached out to touch a leaf, closed
his eyes, and felt a warm current flow through his body from his fingertips.
Peace cupon his mind, and it felt like he was taking a soak in a hot spring. His eyes snapped open, a fiery intensity alight in
his dark pupils.
"Could this be a Soul-Nurturing Tree?"

His master once said that a Soul-Nurturing Tree could calm the mind and nurture the soul. It was even capable of repairing
damaged nascent souls and primordial souls. When it cto the ranking of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Soul-
Nurturing Tree would be up there.
Should he dig up this sapling? Would it die if he transplanted it? What was the medicinal efficacy of an immature Soul-Nurturing
Tree sapling?
Nash hesitated as he stared at the sapling. After a fierce internal struggle, he decided to dig it up. As he was bent over, digging, he
suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
Nash's muscles tensed, and he leaped forward like a frog. However, it was too late as a venomous snake with alternating black and
white bands had bit into his thigh.
He gasped in pain. Grabbing the snake by its neck, he smashed it against a nearby tree. Then, he quickly pressed several
acupoints around the bite. Immediately after, dizziness overwhelmed him. The plants and trees around him blurred and doubled in
his vision.
Before losing consciousness, he saw Lana hurrying over with a stick supporting her.
"Mr. Calcraft!"
