• Chen Feng told Jack to take everyone out of the shelter and give Eagle Sauce Country a Cultivation Method that reached only the postnatal second layer.
• Chen Feng planned to supply Eagle Sauce Country with a few pills as bait so it would depend on him for further cultivation supplies and future transactions.

Chen Feng arranged a deal to trade a low-level cultivation method to Eagle Sauce Country for equipment, then returned to the Painting Scroll World as the Xingfeng Sect’s forces approached Moon Luminous Island.
