Luo Kunlun carried a leather bag containing potion seeds and planting instructions as he walked out of the trading area of ​​the White Tower merchant ship.

At this point, the entire ship transaction was nearing completion.

At the dock, Luo Kunlun handed the ordinary slaves over to the islanders who came to meet him and ordered in a deep voice: "Take them clean, disperse them and arrange accommodations, distribute food, and then assign them to help in the breeding team, transport team or medicine shop according to their respective specialties."

"And this too." With a thought, Luo Kunlun used his telekinesis to summon a curled-up figure.

He was an apprentice dressed in a faded, patched wizard's robe, his breath faint and his vital signs nearly exhausted.

Luo Kunlun flicked his finger, and a wisp of pure life energy surged into his body. The boy's pale cheeks finally regained some color, and his breathing became much more steady.

"He was seriously injured, but I've stabilized his life." Lo Kunlun handed the boy to the islander. "Take good care of him, and let me know as soon as he wakes up. As for the six, I'll take them back to the Wizard's Tower."

"Yes, sir!" The islanders respectfully accepted the order and led the ordinary slaves away.

Meanwhile, Luo Kunlun led the six people with the bloodline of the forest elves back to his wizard tower.

The interior of the wizard's tower is simply furnished, with runes of light magic engraved on the stone walls, providing continuous illumination.

Luo Kunlun led the six people to the lobby on the first floor. His gaze swept over them, and his tone was calm but carried an undeniable air of authority: "State your names."

He bought these people back for a reason.

Upon hearing this, they looked uneasy.

"I...I'm Bailey, this is my wife, Momo, and our child..." the man stammered.

"Also, her name is Rhine, and she is a student of the island's town administrator."

"Sir, she may have been frightened at that time, and she can't speak now."

"I understand." Luo Kunlun nodded. "I am the master of the Thorn Islands, and you are under my jurisdiction."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the tense faces of the crowd, and said, "I'm not going to conduct any human experiments or set up any ranches. As long as you work hard, you'll get food and shelter."

"But if you dare to slack off, cheat, or cause trouble in secret, you will bear the consequences."

"Of course, in addition to that, I will also draw your blood regularly."

"Don't worry, I only need the blood of the three of you. Your physical functions are sufficient to withstand it, and it won't affect your normal lives."

Upon hearing this, the couple were both startled, but then breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to being treated as an experimental subject or a slave, having blood drawn seemed like a negligible price to pay.

Luo Kunlun handed the potion planting guide to Bailey: "These are the planting methods for high-level potions. You are responsible for learning them. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

After handing the items to Bailey and his family, Lo Kunlun gestured for them to leave.

Soon only he and Rhine remained in the hall. In the quiet atmosphere, the girl lowered her head, her long hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression, but her body was still trembling slightly.

"Now it's just the two of us. I'll ask, and you answer," Luo Kunlun broke the silence first.

Rhine remained silent, as if he hadn't heard a word.

Seeing this, Luo Kunlun thought for a moment and said, "Let me guess what you're thinking? Are you thinking, 'Since I've fallen to this state, it's better to die and be free'? Or are you certain that I spent magic stones to buy you and won't kill you until I've squeezed out all your value, so you're deliberately remaining silent and resisting?"

Before he finished speaking, an invisible telekinetic force suddenly appeared, lifting Rhine into the air!

A force pressed down on her body, and countless tiny wounds instantly appeared on her skin, as if she had been cut by invisible blades. Intense pain swept over her body like a tidal wave.

However, although these wounds look horrifying, the amount of bleeding is not much because the main blood vessels are not damaged, and there is only a small amount of fresh blood.

Lo Kunlun collected this blood.

Yes, the slave trader hadn't lied to him.

If the complete bloodline of the forest spirit is 100%, then the bloodline of the previous couple and their child is only about 1%.

The woman in front of me, however, is around 7%, which is already the entry threshold for those with a bloodline.

Her more concentrated extraordinary bloodline made her physical structure slightly different from those with less concentrated bloodlines.

Specifically, it means that it has strong physical strength and is more durable.

However, in the end, it was just a level 0 creature, while Lokunlun was a formal wizard.

That level of physical strength is nothing compared to his.

"No, don't kill me! Please!" The intense pain and fear of death completely shattered Rhine's mental defenses. She struggled, tears and sweat mingling together, her voice trembling with sobs as she begged for mercy.

"Now you can speak."

With a thought, Luo Kunlun dissipated his telekinetic power, and Rhine fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily, her face as pale as paper.

She had thought about suicide countless times before, trying to escape the fate of being treated as a commodity and a slave, but when death was really coming, she realized how afraid she was. She was still young and had not truly lived.

"Little girl, do you want to live?"

Luo Kunlun looked at the shivering Rhine. At this moment, the woman, dressed very scantily, or rather, wrapped in just a few strips of cloth, looked extremely weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Hearing this, Rhine looked up sharply, his eyes filled with a will to live, and nodded vigorously: "Yes! I want to live!"

"That makes things simple. I bought you back with money, not just for your looks, but for my own purposes."

"I don't need to say more, you should understand."

Upon hearing this, Rhine shuddered violently, and his entire body involuntarily curled up.

"I know, you intend to raise me like a sow in a breeding farm, as a mere breeding tool—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Kunlun interrupted her, his face full of exasperation. "You're overthinking it. I'm a human being, not a newborn."

"I'm not that perverted. At most, I'll just use you as a mobile blood bank and draw blood from you periodically. Other than that, you'll have to learn potion-growing techniques like the Baileys, and be responsible for teaching the islanders how to cultivate potions in the future. That's your value in living."

"That's...that's all?" Rhine's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She was prepared to endure any humiliation, but she never expected the other party's request to be so simple.

"Otherwise what?" Luo Kunlun raised an eyebrow. "You'll all stay in this wizard tower until I give you permission."

"The tower's structure is not complicated. Apart from my training area and laboratory on the upper level, you are free to move around in the rest of the tower, but you are absolutely not allowed to leave the tower without permission, or else—you will die."

Leaving behind a final warning, Luo Kunlun ignored the still-shocked Rhine and turned to walk towards the top of the tower. He had many things to do and didn't have time to waste on a brat.

After leaving behind two sentences, Luo Kunlun arrived at the top of the tower to analyze the collected blood.

However, the extraordinary elements in this blood were too few, and Lokunlun could not absorb even a fraction of the advantages of the extraordinary creature, the Forest Spirit.

Inside the tower's main hall, Rhine slumped to the ground, watching Lokunlun's departing figure, his mind a jumbled mess.

Is this mysterious island owner really a wizard?
