Seeing how extravagant Wang Zheng was now, Chu Xiaoman suddenly felt that the spiritual energy crystals and the small jar of liquid spiritual energy she had just acquired were no longer appealing.

"Wang Zheng, that stingy guy, is willing to take out so much spiritual liquid to grow crops, which means he must have more benefits to himself. The value of these spiritual plants is higher than that of this liquid spiritual energy!"

No, I need to work harder and try to get as many freebies as possible!

Regardless of Chu Xiaoman's desire to take advantage of Wang Zheng after being corrupted by him, does Wang Xiaoman really not feel bad about spending so much liquid spiritual energy?

No, of course he felt sorry for her!

You should know that the liquid spiritual energy inside is enough to increase his upper limit by more than a million.

However, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and you can't catch a rogue without risking your wife!

Wang Zheng understood the principle that you have to give up something to gain something in his previous life.

In order to allow these spiritual plants to adapt better, and also to fulfill his desire for the spiritual fruit to ensure sustainable development, he had no choice but to do this.

As the mixed spiritual liquid was poured into the vat, the spiritual plants below still showed little effect. Even after greedily absorbing all the spiritual liquid, they still looked wilted.

Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and took out another small can of liquid spiritual energy, pouring it into the large vat in his hand.

While pouring the mixed spiritual liquid down, he kept chanting incantations.

"I made a mistake back then. It's all my fault for being too young and narrow-minded."

They shouldn't have given Lao Li and the others fruit pits and unripe green fruits.

It's mutually beneficial to work together; it would be a huge loss to study them separately, and I would have to pay for and provide the resources myself.

I should have discussed it with him back then. Although the capital city doesn't have such a good location and conditions, I could have persuaded him to invest in Nanjing University and start planting here.

The military region is so wealthy, they certainly wouldn't care about such a small expenditure. What a miscalculation!

But then again, now that I've got everything sorted out, it doesn't mean I won't have another chance to persuade them to approve a project later.

Once I've built up this up to a certain scale, a little bit of liquid spiritual energy won't be enough. It might even lead to something big..."

With another round of spiritual liquid being poured on, the crops in the field finally showed some improvement thanks to Wang Zheng's extravagant spending.

Just as Wang Zheng was harboring wicked thoughts, Chu Xiaoman, seeing Wang Zheng acting strangely, waited until he had poured out all the spiritual liquid in his hand before asking the question that had been bothering her.

"Wang Zheng, what are these plants? I've never seen them in the catalog you got from the Jingnan Research Lab. And why do I feel like the spiritual energy around us has become even denser? Is this just my imagination?"

"Jingnan Research Institute?"

Wang Zheng was extremely disdainful.

"Let me tell you, even the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the capital might not have information about these spiritual plants!"

This is an extremely rare and precious thing; most of them are extinct. I got it from a great place. You have to work hard! Once you've successfully cultivated all these fruits, the result will be far more than just abundant spiritual energy.

When the benefits were mentioned, Chu Xiaoman immediately perked up.

"What, besides making potions, it can be used for other purposes?"

"Potions my foot! If these spiritual plants bear fruit, they might be even more potent than Little Gold's Golden Sun Fruit! To tell you the truth, I only achieved my Transcendental Transformation by eating these. If you work hard, you're not without a chance!"

"real!?"

"More real than pearls!"

"But I've heard that there are serious hidden dangers to improving through external means. Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Wang Zheng did not hesitate at all when faced with Chu Xiaoman's question.

"External force? Is this an external force?"

Don't believe the nonsense spouted by those so-called experts online. The reason they say that relying on rare and precious herbs to improve one's health leads to an unstable foundation is just because these guys are jealous of what they've got.

If you give them such a treasure, they'll eat it faster than anyone else.

What are natural treasures? They are things that help you solidify your foundation, not gene-enhancing drugs that force growth.

Besides, look at my parents, they both became dual-attribute grandmasters after eating the Golden Sun Fruit.

Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to. It'll save me from suspicion. Although these fruits are no longer of any use to me, they'll be excellent gifts later..."

Seeing Wang Zheng's smug and arrogant expression, Chu Xiaoman was immediately furious, but then she suddenly realized that what Wang Zheng said made a lot of sense.

After all, he is a genuine, nationally certified master, so his words carry a lot of weight.

Moreover, although Wang Zheng is usually unreliable in his words, he would never joke about cultivation.

At worst, I can just ask Grandpa later. Anyway, the spirit field is right here and can't be run away. Besides, Wang Zheng is such a lazy guy, yet he specially brought me here. He must want me to help take care of it. I can't let this benefit slip away.

Upon thinking of this, Chu Xiaoman immediately shouted:

"Who said I wasn't willing? I'll take on this task, but let's make it clear beforehand: when these fruits ripen, I'll get a share of the harvest."

Now I not only have to cultivate and attend classes, but I also have to help you research seeds, take care of Little Gold, and manage the medicinal herb field on the back mountain. Now you've added another task for me. I won't ask for anything in return, but..."

"Sure, no problem, you can have one!"

Before she could speak, Wang Zheng readily agreed, quite decisively.

He had this plan all along, and he didn't know how much effort it would take to get these spiritual fruits ripe.
