Hearing Chu Tianxing's guess, Wang Zheng could only sigh helplessly.
Oh well, I didn't expect Old Man Chu to know what it was anyway. After all, there are too many undiscovered materials in this world. When I get home, I'll let my dad try it out and he'll find out.
After that, Wang Zheng stopped thinking about it and decided to take Old Man Chu back to look for him first. He was strong and could fly, so there might still be a chance.
If we find it, then...
The thought of countless golden liquids and even golden fruits that would follow made Wang Zheng somewhat dazed, and he couldn't help but chuckle incessantly.
Chu Tianxing had finished observing and, seeing Wang Zheng's infatuated expression, shook his head helplessly before handing back the bottle containing the golden liquid.
Seeing Chu Tianxing's actions, Wang Zheng waved his hands repeatedly, then slightly raised his arm, and four identical bottles appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Here you go. If you don't think it's very useful to you, you can give it back to Xiaoman. If it is useful to you, you can keep it for yourself. I have more here."
Seeing Wang Zheng shake the bottle in his hand, Chu Tianxing wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this was also a sincere gesture from Wang Zheng.
Instead of hiding good things, they think of giving some to themselves.
Although this rascal usually complains about being stingy, he actually thinks of Chu Tianxing when he gets something in return. This stark contrast touched Chu Tianxing.
Of course, it's unknown whether he would still be so moved if he knew that Wang Zheng had hidden twice the amount he had shown.
Seeing Chu Tianxing's strange expression, Wang Zheng wondered what he was thinking. He thought to himself, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and you can't catch a rogue without risking your wife."
So he gritted his teeth and handed over another small bottle, then said:
"Here, here's another bottle for you. You and Xiaoman can each have one, okay? I'll take the remaining three bottles back to my parents. I can't give you any more."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes. He thought to himself: Is this how this little bastard sees me as a greedy and insatiable person?
Distracted, but not slack, he immediately spun around and kicked Wang Zheng, sending him tumbling.
"Get out of my way! I wouldn't covet your little bit of stuff!"
Then he shook the bottle in his hand.
"Since it's your filial piety, I'll accept it. Consider it payment for bringing you to Yunnan. I'll help you research its composition when we get back."
Although Wang Zheng was kicked and staggered, when he heard that Chu Tianxing didn't want it anymore, he didn't hesitate and immediately put away all the bottles and jars in his hands.
Let's pretend we never said we'd give them another bottle.
Seeing Wang Zheng's actions, Chu Tianxing was both annoyed and amused, truly wondering how Wang Zheng could be so heartless.
Seeing that Chu Tianxing had already put the small bottle containing the golden liquid into his pocket, Wang Zheng leaned in again with a sly grin and whispered:
“Principal, let’s go back and take another look. Look, even just this sap has such a powerful effect, not to mention it has already produced two fruits. If we could go even further and capture that sapling, transplanting it to our school…”
Upon hearing Wang Zheng mention this, Chu Tianxing's eyes immediately lit up, and he was instantly tempted.
So he immediately grabbed Wang Zheng and flew quickly in the direction Wang Zheng had come from.
In just over ten minutes, the two landed back on that desolate burial ground.
Seeing that the vines that had been blocking the view around the giant tree had become sparse, Wang Zheng immediately had Chu Tianxing land.
When the two stood in front of the giant tree, Wang Zheng discovered that the tree, which had been used as a stand-in and was being disguised, had begun to rot and wither.
It's only been an hour or so since he left and returned, yet this tree has deteriorated so quickly.
The heartwood, which had been split open, had turned grayish-white, and the outer bark of the trunk had become even drier, without any moisture.
Looking at the vines that were once vibrant and blocking Wang Zheng's progress, they had long since lost their emerald green luster, and even the leaves on them had turned yellow and wilted.
As for the tree roots that had emerged from the ground, they had long since withered and lay limply on the cracked ground.
The entire space exuded an air of decay.
Chu Tianxing, filled with curiosity, went inside the tree to take a look and marveled at the appearance of this new type of creature.
He even broke open the transparent tree roots beneath the groove, but found nothing new.
Because of the decline of this giant tree, its canopy, which could originally completely cover the surroundings, began to thin out and could no longer block the view above.
Wang Zheng pointed to the direction the sapling had fled in and said, "That strange sapling ran in this direction. I chased after it but couldn't catch it."
Without saying a word, Chu Tianxing took Wang Zheng and soared into the sky. After searching for a full hour without success, they returned to the same spot.
Wang Zheng could not hide his disappointment, but he could only accept reality.
"Never mind, Principal, maybe it really has gone too far. Sigh, what is not meant to be cannot be forced."
Seeing the old-fashioned Wang Zheng, Chu Tianxing was furious and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
Wang Zheng didn't even flinch. After a loud "duang," Chu Tianxing felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to get angry, Wang Zheng chuckled.
"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, then it's a good start!"
