One person: Full level of comprehension, comprehend the Eight Wonders of Immortal Skills!

However, this time, things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

The middle-aged man did not look back, but continued to run away frantically. The smile on Li Tong's face gradually solidified, and he could not believe his eyes.

"How is this possible?" Li Tong exclaimed. His ability had never failed before, this was the first time.

Li Tong was unwilling to give up, so he swung his sword again and pointed it at the middle-aged man. This time, his target was Qu Tong on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

Qu Tong seemed to sense something, and she suddenly fell off the man's shoulder. But the middle-aged man reacted very quickly, and he hit Qu Tong's calf with a palm, making her unable to get up.

"Hurry up!" The middle-aged man shouted, picked up Qu Tong again, and disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Li Tong looked at the direction where the two disappeared, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. His ability failed again, what was going on?

Li Tong began to think about the limitations of his ability. He recalled that it had failed on Daluo Dongguan before, because although the opponent's body was still there, his soul was gone, so he could not move.

Could it be that this middle-aged man had also lost his ability to move? But looking at the way he ran away, he was clearly able to move freely.

Li Tong thought of another possibility, that is, his ability cannot be used on inanimate objects. But this middle-aged man is obviously alive, otherwise he would not be able to carry Qu Tong and escape.

The more Li Tong thought about it, the more headache he felt. He really couldn't understand how this middle-aged man had made his abilities ineffective.

"Who is this person...?" Li Tong muttered to himself.

He knew that he could not underestimate any opponent, especially this middle-aged man who could make his abilities ineffective. But now, he was more concerned about how to find and capture these two people.

Li Tong took a deep breath and decided to go back to rest and reorganize. After all, his physical condition had not yet fully recovered, and he might not be able to catch them if he chased them now.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy." Li Tong said in a low voice. He turned and walked towards his residence, but in his mind he was thinking about his next plan.

He knew that this matter would not end so easily, but he also believed that as long as he had enough patience and wisdom, he would be able to find a solution to the problem.

"Feng Zhenghao's methods are really admirable." Li Tong stood in front of Qu Tong's lair, looking at the ruins, and couldn't help but admire it. He originally thought that Feng Zhenghao only controlled a few ordinary strongholds of Qu Tong, but he didn't expect that he could actually wipe out her lair in one fell swoop.

Li Tong was not in a hurry to chase Qu Tong. He enjoyed the "looting" session after the battle. In his opinion, fighting was just a means, and obtaining wealth was the goal. So he began to search carefully in the ruins, hoping to find some valuable treasures.

Walking into Qu Tong's lair, Li Tong was stunned by the scene before him. This place was completely different from what he had imagined, and the degree of luxury was far beyond his imagination. The magnificent decorations, priceless antiques, and mountains of gold, silver and jewelry... everything seemed so unreal.

"This woman really knows how to enjoy herself." Li Tong couldn't help but sigh. He walked around the old nest, picking up some treasures from time to time to examine them carefully. Although he had completed the task of upgrading his wealth value, his desire for wealth had never diminished.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a golden square table. This square table was beautifully carved and radiated a dazzling light. Li Tong put it into the storage space without hesitation, feeling very satisfied.

At this moment, he noticed a huge copper furnace in the inner room. This copper furnace had a strange shape and was somewhat similar to the self-cultivation furnace that Li Tong had seen before. He walked closer to take a look with curiosity, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

"Could this be the self-cultivation furnace left by Ma Xianhong?" Li Tong said to himself. He remembered that Ma Xianhong was once Qu Tong's subordinate, and this bronze furnace might be his relic. However, it could also be recast by Qu Tong.

Thinking of this, Li Tong couldn't help but become a little alert. He walked around the copper furnace carefully, fearing that he would trigger some mechanism or trap. After all, Qu Tong was a cunning woman, and who knew if she would leave any tricks here.

"It seems that this thing doesn't have any mechanism." Li Tong said to himself, secretly glad in his heart. He looked around and after making sure there was no danger, he decided to move the self-cultivation furnace home. He stretched out his hand and tried to lift the self-cultivation furnace with one hand, but the unexpected heaviness made him almost stumble.

"This... why is it so heavy?" Li Tong panted, surprised. He finally understood why Qu Tong didn't take the self-cultivation furnace with him when he escaped. Even if he had a swallowing bag that could store things, he still needed enough strength to move it.

Li Tong was unwilling to give up. He held the edge of the furnace with both hands, took a deep breath, and lifted it up. This time, the furnace finally left the ground slowly, but the heavy sound it made frightened him. The ground around him seemed to be shaking, making a "rumbling" sound.

"Damn, I finally got up." Li Tong gritted his teeth and threw the self-cultivation furnace into his storage space. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, footsteps were heard and the company's employees arrived. Seeing Li Tong in a strange posture, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "Li Tong, what are you doing?"

"Ah? Nothing, just stretching and yawning." Li Tong smiled awkwardly and made up an excuse to get away with it. He didn't want these people to know that he had moved the furnace, after all, it was a big trouble.

"Oh, then you continue, we'll go search somewhere else." The employees didn't think much about it and turned around and left the room.

Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to leave the house. He walked out of the house and found that the battle outside had ended. The people from the Lu family and the company were cleaning up the battlefield. The destructive power of the aliens was indeed extraordinary. After a battle, the surroundings were in a mess. The sound of an ambulance could be heard in the distance, and medical staff were treating the wounded.

Li Tong walked up to Lu Ci and asked with concern, "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Lu Ci shook his head. Although his face was pale, his tone was firm: "It's okay. This injury won't kill you."

Li Tong nodded, and he was full of admiration for Lu Ci. Although this old man was old, he was still so tenacious.

"Lu Ci, hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away!" Li Tong said as he got on the stretcher into the ambulance.

Although Li Tong did not have a good relationship with the Lu family, he still admired Lu Ci. Especially when Japan invaded, Lu Ci's performance could be said to be quite brave.

"Li Tong, if the hospital can't cure me, you must find a way!" Lu Ci lay on the stretcher, his face pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

"Don't worry, I will find a way!" Li Tong patted Lu Ci's shoulder, then turned to the ambulance driver and said, "Hurry, go to the best hospital!"

After making arrangements for Lu Ci, Li Tong used the power of Daluo Dongguan to return to the place where his physical body was.

Instead of returning to the meeting room, he left directly and prepared to return to Yiren's office.

As soon as he returned to his body, Li Tong's cell phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Fangxu.

"Li Tong, where have you been? Why aren't you in the meeting room?" Zhao Fangxu's voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, I just used a special talisman and rushed directly to the scene. I sent Lu Ci to the ambulance and then came back directly." Li Tong explained, "I am going back to Yiren's office now. Mr. Zhao, is there anything you can do for me?"

"Oh, so that's the case. Then you go back first and I'll send your tablet to you." Zhao Fangxu said.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao." Li Tong hung up the phone and went straight back to Yiren's office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Li Tong saw Ma Xianhong sitting on the sofa, looking dazed, as if he had just woken up from a nap. "Old Ma, I'm back!" Li Tong shouted excitedly.

"Oh, you're back." Ma Xianhong yawned and asked, "Where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?"

"Hey, I brought you a big treasure!" Li Tong said mysteriously.

"What big treasure?" Ma Xianhong became more alert, sat up straight and asked.

"You'll know when you see it!" Li Tong said, taking out a small box from his pocket and handing it to Ma Xianhong.

Ma Xianhong took the box, opened it and his eyes widened immediately.

"This... this is..." Ma Xianhong's voice trembled a little.

"That's right, this is the big treasure I brought back for you!" Li Tong said with a proud smile.

Seeing Ma Xianhong's shocked expression, Li Tong felt proud. He knew how important the things he brought back this time were to Ma Xianhong, and this was his small reward to Ma Xianhong.

"Brother Ma, I'm back." Li Tong's voice broke the silence in the room, and he walked in carrying a huge self-cultivation furnace. The furnace was several times larger than the one Ma Xianhong had made before, and it made a dull sound when it landed, and even a few tiles were crushed.

Ma Xianhong raised his head and looked at the huge furnace, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the furnace, reached out and touched the furnace wall, feeling the familiar temperature.

"Where did this come from?" he asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"We did it to Qu Tong." Li Tong smiled proudly, with a cunning look on his face, "We stole this stove from her."

Ma Xianhong's eyes immediately became sharp, and he stared at Li Tong closely, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.

"Did you see her again?" he asked, with a hint of hatred in his voice.

Li Tong nodded, and the smile on his face disappeared: "I saw her, but she ran away."

Ma Xianhong didn't say anything, just stood there silently, looking at the huge self-cultivation furnace. His heart was full of disappointment and anger, but he knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions.

"How is this stove different from the one I made?" he asked, his voice returning to calm.

Li Tong shook his head: "It looks similar, but it's definitely much better than yours. We spent a lot of effort to get it."

Ma Xianhong did not speak. He began to carefully examine the self-cultivation furnace. He knocked on the furnace wall with his hand, opened the furnace door and looked at the structure inside. Finally, he looked up at Li Tong and said, "This furnace is essentially the same as the one I made. It's just bigger and looks more intimidating."

Li Tong looked at Ma Xianhong with some surprise, as if he had not expected such a result. But he still nodded, indicating that he accepted Ma Xianhong's judgment.

"So... is this stove still useful?" he asked.

Ma Xianhong was silent for a moment, then said, "It works. It's a little bigger, but the basic principle is the same. We can modify it to suit our use."

Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his trust in Ma Xianhong was not in vain this time.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Ma," he said.

Ma Xianhong nodded, his eyes flashed with determination: "Don't worry, I will personally avenge the entire Ma family."

"Brother Ma, did you say that the core of the self-cultivation furnace was given by Qu Tong?" he asked tentatively.

Ma Xianhong was stunned, then nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then...should we check that core?" A hint of determination flashed in Li Tong's eyes.

Under the guidance of Ma Xianhong, the two came to the secret room where the core was stored. Li Tong carefully picked up the seemingly ordinary metal ball and compared it with the core on Ma Xianhong's furnace.

"It's indeed different." Ma Xianhong said in surprise.

"I think if we can disassemble this core, we may be able to find the key to the problem," Li Tong suggested.

Ma Xianhong's eyes flashed with desire, but then dimmed again: "Qu Tong has always prevented me from doing this. She said that once the core is damaged, the entire self-cultivation furnace will be scrapped."

Li Tong sighed. He knew Ma Xianhong's concerns, but he didn't want to give up.

"Maybe we can find a few samples to try and see what this core actually does," he suggested.

Ma Xianhong thought about it and nodded: "Alright, at least it's safer than dismantling it directly."

"Brother Ma, don't worry. After the test is over, this core will be yours and you can dismantle it however you want." Li Tong comforted him with a smile.

Ma Xianhong finally smiled: "Then it's settled."

The two began to act separately, Ma Xianhong was responsible for the research core, and Li Tong was responsible for finding experimental samples.

Li Tong called Feng Zhenghao.

"Brother Feng, I need a few test samples. Can you transfer a few people from Qu Tong?" he said straight to the point.

Feng Zhenghao smiled on the other end of the phone: "Why, is everything going well over there?"

"It's going relatively smoothly. The company hasn't taken the hostages away yet. We try our best to use the enemy for experiments to reduce innocent casualties," Li Tong explained.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Feng Zhenghao agreed readily.

"No hurry, wait until Ma Xianhong gets the result, then it won't be too late to take down Qu Tong in one fell swoop." Li Tong muttered to himself, with a gleam in his eyes. He knew very well that this contest was not only about strength, but also about patience and wisdom. (End of this chapter)
