"How lonely it is to be invincible... How empty it is to be invincible..."
A pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded in the enclosed space of the basement. Wang, whose thoughts were interrupted, was a little impatient, but in the end he still frowned and walked over.
When he saw the phone number in Beijing displayed on his phone screen, he suddenly realized what was going on.
Because this is his personal cultivation time, those in Jingnan who know his schedule will not disturb him unless there is an emergency.
But if it's from the capital city, then this makes sense.
After the call connected, Wang Zheng looked at Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai on the screen, and his impatience immediately disappeared. He greeted them with a smile.
Zhao Yucai clearly saw Wang Zheng's resentment and directly teased him:
"Master Wang is very diligent. It seems we two have disturbed your cultivation."
Young Master Wang rolled his eyes, didn't reply, and just muttered something to himself.
"If you keep doing this, I won't answer any more encrypted calls. You'll have to switch to a different line every time someone calls. Do you have to be so cautious? If I weren't worried about you not being able to contact me, I wouldn't even carry my phone with me when I'm cultivating..."
Although Wang Zheng is now undoubtedly the number one in the country, his occasional childlike temper made the two leaders feel very good about him, and they both burst into laughter.
After all, no matter how his strength changes, this kid has always been this carefree and irresponsible person, which makes people feel close to him and proves that he, Young Master Wang, is not the kind of arrogant wolf who becomes rampant after gaining power.
He's in a class of his own, and he's quick-witted. Although he's a bit eccentric and usually quite lazy and lacks energy, he doesn't seem to have the vigor of a young person... well... but overall, he's still pretty good.
After the two finished laughing, Wang Zheng asked in an annoyed tone:
"Tell me, what made you two stay up so late and call me here? Is there progress in the research on the effects of those spiritual fruits, or has some emergency occurred?"
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's question, Zhao Yucai, who had been all smiles, suddenly found his smile somewhat awkward.
When Wang Zheng left the capital, he made a boastful claim, but now, several months later, he still hasn't figured out most of it, which really shows that he underestimated the difficulty of understanding the effects of that spiritual fruit.
Moreover, Wang Zheng had asked him several times over this period of time, and now that the old matter was being brought up again, he was still a little guilty.
On the other side, Li Guofeng ignored Wang Dashao's banter and got down to business with a serious expression.
"Here's the thing, ten minutes ago, there was a minor earthquake of magnitude 3.0 in the Anhui and Zhejiang area. The tremor itself isn't the key issue; the most important thing is..."
...
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng felt a bit conflicted.
I've only had a short rest. Even if you add the month I spent in the capital, it's only been three months, and now I have to go on another mission.
And who knows how long this trip will take!
It's true that revealing one's strength isn't all good. While enjoying the favor of powerful figures, the burden on one's shoulders also becomes heavier.
It turns out that these two big shots called late at night not for anything else, but to say that there was a relic in Anhui province whose location was known only to people within China, and it was showing signs of emerging into the world.
There have been several unusual occurrences recently.
Although it is located inland in China, there is no need to worry about any foreign superhumans coming to cause trouble.
However, this forbidden area is still located in the wilderness, and the commotion when it erupts cannot be hidden. Although the current situation is much better than that in the South China Sea, it is still possible to attract those demon kings.
Moreover, with these forbidden areas appearing one after another, Old Li was worried that something unexpected might happen.
Considering Wang Zheng's strength and his claim of being the inheritor of an ancient demon, they decided to have him stay and guard the area for a while.
Of course, if the ruins do happen to be unsealed, it will provide an extra layer of protection when leading a team to explore them.
After all, whether based on the actual situation or Wang Zheng's own description of the memory inheritance, he must have a special connection with these relics.
Moreover, even if the relics of Huizhou and Anhui were to reappear, they would not cause as much of an impact as before, and the level of danger would be significantly reduced.
With a highly skilled expert like Wang Zheng in charge, we can avoid a lot of trouble...
Actually, when Wang Zheng first heard the news, his initial reaction was that he didn't want to go.
However, after thinking it over, I realized that I didn't seem to have a reason to refuse. My strength breakthrough had hit a bottleneck, and going out for a walk seemed like a good choice.
Perhaps one can gain more benefits from the ruins, helping to quickly adapt to the two sets of rule abilities.
Moreover, Lao Li and Lao Zhao trusted him completely, and even promised that if the ruins really appeared, he could act as he pleased.
Wang Zheng couldn't refuse such a request.
After all, the only thing that can improve his strength now is cultivation techniques, but in the present world, he is limited by the huge upper limit of spiritual energy.
Although there are still quite a few Demon King's inner cores and spiritual fruits, the effects of the spiritual fruits need to be studied first. After the warning from the ferocious beast, Wang Zheng dares not eat them casually now.
The inner core is for emergencies. Besides, even if you eat them all, the total is only a maximum of 10,000.
It's completely useless.
Moreover, Wang Zheng now faces a more pressing problem: his expenses and income are completely disproportionate.
Experiments have shown that the area around the spiritual field must have sufficient spiritual energy for the fruits to continue growing, but to meet this requirement, the liquid spiritual energy cannot be stopped.
