Zhao Yucai gripped the ancient books in his hands tightly, turning them over and over, examining them carefully for a while before solemnly nodding to Li Guofeng.
Seeing his old comrade's expression, Li Guofeng also became excited.
Although these booklets don't look thick, the densely packed small print inside must add up to tens of thousands of words.
Even if we remove the repeated characters, it can be said that we have completely unraveled the mystery of these obscure and difficult ancient books.
At this moment, Zhao Yucai seemed to have a great weight lifted off his shoulders. He leaned back on the sofa and carefully felt the texture on the covers of these ancient books, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Young Master Wang couldn't stand such scenes, and upon seeing this, he quickly cracked a joke.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm telling you, Minister, even if you cry, I'm not going to give it to you for nothing!"
The heavy atmosphere was instantly broken. Zhao Yucai glared at Young Master Wang, then composed himself and slowly said:
"You've done a great service this time. Since you've made this request, we'll definitely grant it."
I've figured it out, you're a money-devouring beast. But considering your many meritorious deeds, I won't interfere with what you do with all that liquid spiritual energy.
But that ferocious beast has so many benefits; how can you bear to let it go for nothing?
Young Master Wang casually picked his nose, completely ignoring Old Zhao's previous slander.
"What else can we do but let him go? Let's not even talk about how he came from my sea of consciousness, which barely establishes a connection. Do you really think I can defeat this ancient demon...?"
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yucai realized that this made sense. In any case, it was enough to know that Wang Zheng cared about China.
The world is already chaotic enough, so having two more ancient demons on friendly terms with China might not be a bad thing...
As they were talking, Young Master Wang took out the mirage bead again. Li Guofeng took it and asked:
"Is this the precious pearl left to you by that ancient demon?"
Wang Zheng nodded with a smile.
"It is this very thing. The mirage beast said that this pearl has the effect of calming the mind and eliminating distracting thoughts. I was wondering if it could be effective during the mortal transformation. If you two have the time, you could find someone to try it on..."
Hearing this, the two leaders were overjoyed again, thinking to themselves that Wang Zheng was truly a lucky star. Now that he was powerful, he knew how to bring all sorts of benefits home.
Li Guofeng felt that helping Chu Tianxing and investing in Wang Zheng was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
But before the smiles could fully appear on their faces, Young Master Wang poured cold water on them.
"But let's make this clear beforehand: you can borrow the pearl in the future, but you'll have to send someone to Jingnan in person. I'm not giving it to you two for free, and I certainly won't let anyone take it for free!"
Li Guofeng: ...
Sure enough, this was the Wang Zheng he knew. All that before was just wishful thinking on his part.
After thinking it over carefully, Old Li said seriously:
"These aspiring grandmasters in our unit aren't as wealthy as you. If they can't offer you the benefits you want, are you really going to refuse to help?"
"No way! I'm not that kind of person!"
Young Master Wang looked righteous and indignant.
"However, an equal exchange is a must. A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. I don't want to end up pleasing neither side!"
Seeing that Lao Li was about to speak again, Wang Zheng didn't give them a chance to speak.
"I'm not all about money. If they don't have money, they can sign an agreement to work and pay off their debts. I won't let them risk their lives in the wilderness. If there's no benefit, they can stay at Nanjing University and work for a year."
"How about this? A year as a training instructor can earn you the opportunity to reliably break through to the Grandmaster level. Moreover, staying at Nanjing University will not only solidify your newly broken-through realm, but also allow you to exchange experiences with veteran Grandmasters. I'm afraid people would be eager to take this offer..."
Knowing that this young man was determined to develop Nanjing University, these two middle-aged leaders of China were both annoyed and amused.
But then he thought that it was a good thing that this kid cared so much about Nanjing University, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Wang Zheng's request.
It's just a matter of reputation anyway. Since this kid wants Nanjing University to steal the spotlight, let's just let him be.
Moreover, given this kid's strength, if he really wanted to cause trouble, they probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
Thus, the matter of the Mirage Pearl came to a temporary end, and the two leaders began to discuss the distribution of the benefits from the ruins, and also planned to ask Wang Zheng, the person involved, for his opinion.
Just then, Young Master Wang chuckled.
"I think those ancient books should be discarded if they're not needed. I doubt there's any real heritage left in those books in the library..."
"Could it be that you..."
Hearing the hidden meaning in Wang Zheng's words, the shrewd and experienced Old Zhao immediately understood what Wang Zheng meant.
"So that the two leaders know that I didn't just wander around those ruins for nothing."
At this point, Young Master Wang was also ready to reveal the real gains from this trip.
With a flick of his wrist, the translucent white jade slip appeared in his hand. Holding the perfectly shaped, warm jade between two fingers, Young Master Wang grinned lewdly.
"This is the inheritance jade slip I obtained from that ruin, and it hasn't been discovered by anyone else. I glanced through it briefly, and it seems to contain authentic ancient cultivation techniques, as well as the method for making the Beast Taming Ring..."
"Is this really true!?"
Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai cried out in surprise; they were genuinely terrified by Wang Zheng.
Although they had heard long ago that Wang Zheng was incredibly lucky, they only realized now that all their previous opinions about him had underestimated him.
They now truly believe that this kid is definitely blessed with great fortune!
Just take this exploration of the ruins as an example. Putting aside the precious pearl that can help awakened individuals smoothly pass through the stage of mortal transformation and heart refinement, they also have to secretly obtain this jade slip in front of everyone. This cannot be simply summarized by the word "luck".
Moreover, if the entire legacy of the Beast Taming Sect is truly contained within this jade slip, then there are countless ways to utilize it…
