Wang Zheng, who had no idea that he was being targeted, first went to the engineering department to pick up his father, and then the two went to the test base together.

After a simple meal, Wang Zheng, as usual, first checked the physical condition of his father and the principal in turn, and then continued his elemental shaping training.

Wang Shengrong then chatted with Chu Tianxing about his newly awakened abilities, and they also discussed some experiences of transcending the mortal realm.

Old Man Chu naturally shared all his knowledge and skills, and also offered some guidance as someone with experience, which Wang Shengrong found very rewarding.

By the time Wang Zheng finished his training in the battle of wits with Zhu Yan, it was already dark, and Wang Shengrong had long since gone home.

Wang Zheng didn't mind. She's an adult now, why does she need him to watch over her every day? Besides, if he doesn't go back, who will cook for his mother when she comes home from working overtime?

At this moment, Old Man Chu went to the top floor to cultivate alone. Wang Zheng looked at the charred scene in the room and felt a little embarrassed. He then comforted himself by talking to himself.

"At least the alloy walls inside aren't burning down anymore, which is progress. And we've also developed a rough outline of a method to break through the barrier. If we keep at it, we'll definitely see results soon!"

While encouraging himself, Wang Zheng cleaned up the mess in the room and turned on the ventilation system to its maximum to dissipate the burnt smell.

Because the destructive power of the Candle Flame is too great, he cannot train in his dormitory or other places by himself, which is why he runs to the back mountain every day after class.

On his way back to the dormitory, Wang Zheng looked at the messages on his phone and then sighed helplessly.

The text message was sent by Ma Kuagua, who works in the military region, and it was sent several hours ago.

Because Wang Zheng needed to practice controlling the candle flames, he had left these personal items in his storage space. They were isolated from the signal because they were in two different dimensions, which is why he only saw them now.

The above content is also very simple. Although the tone is very polite, it conveys the same meaning over and over again:

You haven't come to the military region to help with the experiment for a week. When do you have time to come again?

Wang Zheng could only reply that it would be over tomorrow, and after calling Teacher Qu to ask for leave, he swaggered back home with his hands behind his head.

The Candle Flame Project was gradually making progress, and Wang Zheng was in a pretty good mood, humming a little tune as he walked with an air of indifference.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear Wang Zheng's unique flamboyant style.

"One wrong step can ruin your life; I went into the sea to dance for a living..."

...

Days passed by, and before we knew it, it was Saturday again.

As expected, the Wang family of three was very busy. The father was doing manual labor on the back mountain of Nanjing University, the mother was researching projects at the research institute, and the son, Wang Zheng, was assisting with the research on the 'Candle Flame Spirit Crystal' project at the military region.

As the sun set and night deepened, the three of them finally dragged their weary steps back home.

Although Wang Shengrong is physically exhausted, he is experiencing a bittersweet joy because his involvement in the "river diversion and island building" project has been very successful and the progress has been greatly accelerated.

Now, after finishing his work each day, he goes to the testing base to practice for a while before going home.

Since his wife was working overtime and wouldn't be home anyway, and he wouldn't have to cook, he figured he might as well wait for his son to come home from school and bring him lunch. He could then enjoy a delicious meal of spiritual food before continuing to practice at the experimental base until he exhausted his spiritual energy before leaving.

In just one week, he could feel that because he kept using his supernatural abilities and depleting his spiritual energy, his body was recovering naturally. In this repeated process, the rate at which his spiritual energy grew was getting faster and faster.

If he continues like this, I believe his body will soon be able to match the upper limit of spiritual energy. When that time comes, it will be the moment for him to break through to the mortal realm and become a grandmaster.

Therefore, Comrade Lao Wang no longer blamed Wang Zheng for tricking him into doing manual labor. After all, he could genuinely feel the improvement in his abilities, and he was quite satisfied.

Moreover, the intensity of the Nanjing University labs is quite high, and the training grounds are secluded enough for him to vent his frustrations without restraint. There's no such good environment anywhere else...

Li Liang has been incredibly busy lately, and Wang Zheng has heard his mother complain about the project's slow progress more than once.

Out of concern, Wang Zheng asked a few questions and learned that it was because of the problem with the planting of raw materials for the four medicines last year.

The government now intends to expand the use of these medicines from military regions and schools to the whole society, but the shortage of raw materials has kept the prices of these basic medicines high.

Everything else is fine, but the cultivation of the three spiritual plants that are the most important materials has not made any substantial progress.

Because this is a nationwide trial, if the southern part of Beijing is not suitable for cultivation, it will have a certain impact on the future distribution of pesticides.

It's obvious that if the raw materials for these medicines can be widely cultivated in southern Beijing, will southern Beijing, as the source of these materials, still lack medicines in the future?

However, judging from the current situation, the growing environment for these spiritual plants in Jiangnan does not seem to be ideal.

It's not just in the Jiangnan region; the effects seem to be less than ideal in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, and other areas. Only DJI, ZTE, and Sichuan have seen slightly better results.

These spiritual plants have extremely demanding growing conditions, and even completely artificially simulated cultivation environments have no effect, leaving many southern provinces at a loss.

However, Wang Zheng was completely helpless in this regard. Although he knew that using liquid spiritual energy to accelerate growth would definitely produce good results, who would waste such a precious resource for the sake of cultivating the raw materials for the potion? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

So I simply didn't offer any opinions and could only listen to my mother's complaints along with my father, Wang Shengrong.

Wang Zheng himself has been busy during this time, running between the school, the back mountain, and the military region.

My cultivation progress has been delayed, and I haven't been able to improve my attributes for a whole week, which is really tough.

Not only that, with Nan Fengyi's application to go down the mountain successfully approved, Wang Zheng also arranged to take her to the back mountain tomorrow, since this big shot finally made it down the mountain to send Xiaobai to Nanjing University, to test whether there would be any strange chemical reaction between the [Nanming Li Fire] and the elemental scarab.

The test was originally supposed to be conducted at the beginning of the semester, but Wang Dashao overslept because he was too tired. By the time he arrived at school, everyone else had already left.

So this time Wang Zheng was smarter and gave them a heads-up beforehand.
