Seeing that he had successfully changed the subject, Young Master Wang couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling rather embarrassed towards Fang Bi.
"Since we were all brothers tens of thousands of years ago, there's no need to distinguish between 'yours' and 'mine.' Besides, you used to bully the powerful beast, so I'll have to trouble you to draw some of its attention."
Thinking of this, the cunning young master Wang continued, feigning nonchalance:
"I'm not too sure about that either. After all, a physical body can't just appear out of thin air. I guess besides having enough energy, it probably needs some rare and precious materials to help it. I don't even know for sure myself."
All I can say is that if he had done it the same way I did when he transformed into a mortal, it probably, maybe, likely, could have worked…
"Same my foot! Where would we get so many rare and precious resources for him to squander like that? Only a lucky spendthrift like you would have the audacity to do that. Besides, even you yourself are so uncertain, would we dare to use him as a guinea pig for experiments..."
Zhao Yucai understood Wang Zheng's ambiguous statement and ignored the smokescreen Wang Zheng was putting up, immediately grasping the key point of this mythical beast transformation incident.
"If what you say is true, then the one undergoing tribulation is your manifestation, after it successfully takes human form, does it have its own thoughts, can it communicate, and is it under your control?"
"Could you summon it now so we can see if it's actually harmful to you?"
Hearing the bigwig's request, Wang Zheng hesitated.
Although he now knows that the ferocious beast is not so bloodthirsty, it is still an ancient ferocious beast, and it would be better if a conflict broke out.
And the most important problem is that he can't command this big shot.
After careful consideration, Young Master Wang decided to keep the fact that he had communicated with the ferocious beast a secret.
“I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t seem to work.”
To be honest, I was startled when that beast appeared, but it didn't communicate with me at all; it was mostly me asking questions.
I'm not even sure how to summon him, or whether he's still inside me.
Perhaps I haven't mastered it yet; maybe I can advance further in the future..."
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's explanation, the expressions of the people around him were somewhat disappointed. After all, if it was indeed an ancient divine beast that had successfully manifested, as long as they were not particularly hostile to the human race, they would definitely be able to learn a lot of information.
However, this is a double-edged sword. If these ancient gods and ferocious beasts were to be reborn, it would be impossible to say in what direction the planet would develop in the future...
The atmosphere in the conference room fell silent. Although Young Master Wang knew that the Heavenly Demons would invade decades later, he did not say so at the moment.
Firstly, although the government does not know the exact timing, it has certainly been preparing for this all along.
Moreover, it seems that the main force fighting against the Heavenly Demon is actually the cultivators in Tongtian, so whether he says it or not doesn't really have much impact.
The most important thing now is to get the data panel back as soon as possible, take a good look at your attributes, and then you can continue to add points to your training in the future.
After a long silence, Zhao Yucai put aside the matter of the ferocious beast and looked at the book that Wang Zheng had brought out of the ruins.
"Wang Zheng, I have accepted all the books and fruit pits you sent. In view of your outstanding performance in this exploration, we plan to let you choose some cultivation techniques and weapons."
You certainly don't lack inner cores, spiritual fruits, and the like. You have more good stuff than I do now, so I can only compensate you with some liquid spiritual energy.
"Once things are settled here, you'll come back to the capital with us, and we'll give you a thorough check-up while we're at it..."
When Wang Zheng heard Lao Zhao immediately change the subject, trying to get something for nothing, he started to have doubts.
'Who says I don't need anything? No one would complain about having too many benefits. The military got so many inner cores for free this time, they have to give me a share, otherwise no one can persuade them!'
As for Zhao Yucai's request to return to the capital, Wang Shao had anticipated it and didn't really object.
Putting aside the fact that Lao Zhao is a reliable person.
Even if I misjudged him, judging from his current strength, it probably won't be that easy to keep him here.
Moreover, Young Master Wang believed that no leader would be so foolish as to deliberately offend him after he had already demonstrated such fighting prowess.
Silently accepting the request, Wang Zheng quickly put away the fruit pit and the book, instantly transforming into his usual carefree, grinning expression. He then nodded and said:
"Alright then, since I'm going back with you anyway, I'll keep these things for myself. I'll keep them for you when we get to the capital. Don't worry, I don't really need these things, so I definitely won't skimp on them..."
It is certain that it will be taken back.
Young Master Wang isn't that foolish to think he can get so many benefits from a little bit of liquid spiritual energy.
Moreover, these books are things that even cultivators in those grotto-heavens would covet. Now that Young Master Wang has come into contact with higher-level secrets, he naturally wants to know even more information.
It wasn't that he wanted to eliminate the state as the middleman who profited from the price difference, but at the very least, he needed to know the true strength of the cultivators within the cave and why they valued these ancient texts so much.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Young Master Wang was also very curious about the attitude of this powerful force that had been hiding in the world all along...
Seeing Wang Zheng's greedy appearance, Zhao Yucai was speechless. He pressed his temples hard, looking like he had a terrible headache.
Wang Zheng's direct supervisor, Sun Zhongren, turned his head away immediately, as if he was too ashamed to face anyone.
At this moment, only Young Master Wang looked smug, having won back a point, without the slightest bit of shame.
Seeing that Zhao Yucai had already given his final summary of the exploration, Wang Zheng took the opportunity to raise his own questions.
"Gentlemen, I've answered all your questions. Now I have a small question that I'd like to ask you."
Li Guofeng frowned, sensing that this kid might be up to something again.
"What is it?"
Wang Zheng didn't care that the big shot was still angry.
"I'm asking about that giant hand that rescued the Peacock Demon King and the Spring Rain that killed the Demon King in the ruins. I want to know if this has anything to do with the cultivators in the cave."
After all, you mentioned before that they value the ancient information in these ruins very much. Since someone was able to contact us, does that mean the Peacock Demon King has also made connections with other grotto-heavens?
I've thought about it endlessly, but I still can't understand it. If they're really that powerful, able to cross countless barriers and directly influence things within the ruins, how did that demon manage to defeat them?
