"Good!"
King Yue held up Su Fang with both hands and praised him.
Zhao Ziba waved his hand, and all the guards in the hall came forward, "Congratulations, Your Highness. You have an adopted son!"
"Housekeeper!" King Yue gave Su Fang a seat on the spot.
At this time, a black-clothed old man appeared. He was about seventy years old and had a long white beard.
This was the first time Su Fang had seen this old man. It seemed that this old man's position was far higher than Pound, Han Xin, and Xue Wujian. He was the one with the most power.
Perhaps even Zhao Ziba couldn't compare to him.
King Yue stared at the old man, "Announce that today, This King will accept Su Fang as his adopted son!"
The housekeeper bowed, "Your Highness, according to the rules, Su Fang will have to change his name and follow Your Highness' surname Zhao, becoming a part of the imperial family!"
"Su Fang, are you willing to change your surname?" King Yue asked Su Fang for his opinion.
Su Fang stood up, "That's exactly what I want. Only the imperial family has the right to have the surname Zhao. This is my greatest honor!"
"From now on, you will follow the imperial family's surname Zhao and be given the name Zijun!" King Yue announced.
Zhao Zijun!
Who would have thought that he would have another name? A name was just a name. For the sake of revenge, changing one's surname was nothing.
King Yue had all the servants leave and called Pound in. He said to the housekeeper, "My son Zijun is only at the first layer of the Law Opening Stage. This King wants him to become a Transcendent realm expert in the next three years!"
Pound bowed, "Rest assured, Your Highness. We can work together to activate the Marrow Cleansing Grand Formation and send magic power and spiritual energy to Second Young Master!"
Empowerment!
After sending magic power and spiritual energy, Su Fang smiled even more. The best chance for revenge was to become an absolute expert!
The reason why King Yue had taken Su Fang as his adopted son was not because of that, but because he wanted Su Fang to complete a plan for him. This plan was of great importance, so King Yue needed Su Fang to become an expert in order to complete it.
King Yue ordered, "Today is This King's big day. Immediately send the guards to hold a banquet tonight. However, the news of This King accepting an adopted son cannot be spread!"
"This old servant will do it now!"
The butler left the hall.
"Zijun, there are too many evildoers who want to harm Foster Father. You are already Father's adopted son, so you have to think for Father. When you become stronger, Father will ask the Emperor for permission to officially let you enter the Imperial Family's genealogy."
King Yue then looked at Zhao Ziba, "Ba 'er, bring your brother to the treasury."
"Second brother, let's go."
Zhao Ziba happily brought Su Fang out of the main hall and towards the Forbidden Palace.
Along the way, they passed through many checkpoints. Zhao Ziba reminded Su Fang to remember the code words of each checkpoint, because only important people from the inner circle could enter the Forbidden Palace.
After entering an unremarkable palace, he activated a mechanism, and an underground secret room appeared. To reach the secret room, he had to go through another mechanism. There were special steps to enter the secret room, and there were some places that he could not step on. It was likely that there were traps everywhere.
When they entered the secret chamber, Su Fang was dumbfounded by the sight of a treasure trove.
First, there were mountains of gold and silver. Then, there were countless gems and spirit stones. This underground treasure trove had several layers, and each secret room was filled with endless treasures.
The Duel Star Dynasty could not even compare to one-tenth of this place. The treasures that a King possessed were already comparable to a nation.
The inner secret room was filled with artifacts, immortal pills, spirit treasures, and all kinds of rare treasures.
From ordinary spirit treasures to Flesh Embryo Realm treasures. These treasures were low-level, but their appearances were all different. To be able to be collected by a King, naturally, there were extraordinary treasures.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Su Fang felt a sound coming from the depths of his right hand.
His right hand did not have such a reaction for a long time. Su Fang hastily asked, "Black Yellow, what's going on?"
"Master, because the artifact spirit vein that you fused with has spirituality, it will react to treasures that do not recognize you as its master. It wants to absorb the spirit power of an ownerless artifact to help its own cultivation. Gradually, it fused with Black Yellow, and this ability was gradually controlled by Black Yellow. From this secret room, Black Yellow sensed the same aura as the spirit vein. It seems that there are treasures that are connected to the spirit vein here!"
After listening, Su Fang made a curious expression. He touched the artifacts around, and the reaction of his right hand became more and more intense. Black Yellow also signaled Su Fang to move closer.
In an instant, behind the two treasure boxes, Su Fang saw two artifacts. They should be spirit treasures, but artifacts. One was a flying sword, and the other was a halberd.
Zhao Ziba walked over, "Second Brother, are you interested in these two spirit treasures?"
Su Fang shook his head, "No, it's just that halberd type artifacts are very rare. They are usually flying swords, and their appearance is very unique."
Zhao Ziba introduced, "These two magic treasures were collected by my foster father a long time ago. I heard that the founding emperor had destroyed the Violet Fate Kingdom and seized them from there. These two Spirit Treasures are of pretty good quality and also came from the Violet Fate Kingdom, so they were collected by my foster father. Do you want them?"
"Why would I want these spirit treasures? Thank you big brother for your kindness, but Foster Father wants to help me enter the Transcendent realm. Spirit treasures are trash to me. Artifacts are better." Su Fang immediately snorted disdainfully. He didn't take it seriously, and continued to walk to the last secret room.
Black Yellow's voice sounded in his mind, "Master, these two artifacts contain the same residual Blood Qi as Master and the artifact spirit vein. They must be artifacts that Master's ancestors fused with."
After arriving at the last secret room, Su Fang wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the treasures. "So my Family Su really is a descendant of the Violet Fate Kingdom's imperial family. My Family Su's ancestors were slaughtered by the Zhao Country."
"The bloodline aura is good. Black Yellow can only confirm this." Black Yellow was very sure.
"What a Zhao Country. Zhao Royal Family. I thought I only had a blood feud with you because you killed my father. I didn't think you would have a blood feud that involved the extermination of a country and a clan."
Now he knew the origin of his family. Combined with his father's death, he suddenly felt that he had a blood feud with the Zhao Country.
Buzz.
Suddenly, when he entered the secret room, his right hand moved again.
This time, he didn't need Black Yellow to remind him. He knew that this secret room also contained a treasure from his Family Su's ancestors.
But this time, he pretended that he didn't know anything. When he arrived at a treasure box, his pupils suddenly shrank. This treasure box contained a purple blue treasure saber. This treasure saber had the shape of a treasure sword. The saber's blade was perfectly straight, but the blade was only two fingers wide from the hilt to the tip of the saber. It was as wide as a palm.
On both sides of the treasure saber's hilt were carved two crescent moons. The crescent moons were inlaid with precious stones. This treasure saber was indescribably precious.
"Falling Moon Saber!"
This treasure saber had appeared countless times on blueprints. Su Fang had memorized the appearance of this treasure saber since he was a child. This was because this was the Family Su's most precious treasure, the Falling Moon Saber.
Ever since he could remember, he had vowed to find the whereabouts of the Falling Moon Saber. He never thought that he would finally find it.
In order to not let Zhao Ziba notice anything strange, he deliberately stared at a flying sword. This flying sword was an artifact. When Zhao Ziba saw Su Fang staring at the flying sword, he walked over and said, "Second Brother has good eyes. This is an artifact."
"Yes, it's not bad."
Su Fang deliberately picked up the flying sword, and without a doubt picked up the Falling Moon Saber. He pretended to be ready to fight. "I don't know how this flying sword is like. Why don't I try this treasure saber?"
"Second Brother, you can't!"
Zhao Ziba stopped Su Fang. "This saber is called the Falling Moon Saber. It's a treasure that Foster Father accidentally obtained when he went to Great Jade Mountain to see the Feather Emperor. Although it's only a low-grade Secret Path Realm spirit treasure, this treasure saber's quality is special. It's very sharp, and its hardness is comparable to a Dharma Cave Realm spirit treasure."
"Then where did the Falling Moon Saber come from?" Su Fang pretended to be curious.
Zhao Ziba said, "Foster Father didn't mention it. It should have been bought from some cultivators, or found in some ruins. Second Brother, there are many treasures here. You are Foster Father's foster son now, so you are the young master of the palace. You can take whichever treasure you like."
"But I already have the Spirit Snake Saber. It's also a low-grade magic treasure."
"Big Brother already heard about this from Mother Mo. Although the Spirit Snake Saber is a treasure, you are now the young master of the palace. Only a true treasure is worthy of you. That would be a high-quality low-grade magic treasure, or a mid-grade magic treasure."
"I don't know how to choose. Why don't Big Brother pick one for me?"
Su Fang said modestly. He was actually very smart.
Foster Son
He still didn't know that this was just a trick King Yue used to confuse him. If he really could take any treasure, it would just be a formality. He might as well try Zhao Ziba.
Zhao Ziba flashed and returned to his original spot. A pair of gloves appeared in his hands. They were actually a pair of claws. They were dark gold, like the skin of a snake. They were as smooth as silk and as thin as a layer of clothing. The five fingers were half a foot long, exactly like an eagle's claws.
Zhao Ziba introduced, "This is the Ghost King's Claw. When worn on both hands, it will fuse with the skin of both hands. It is invisible to the naked eye, but once used to attack, it can be used in an instant to kill the enemy. However, Second Brother is only at the first level of the Dharma Cave Realm. If you want to use the Ghost King's Claw's power, you will need to reach the high level of the Transcendent realm."
"Alright."
Su Fang didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving the Ghost King's Claw, he condensed a drop of blood and absorbed it on the spot. When he wore it on both hands, he felt as if he could break through anything.
Xuan Huang's voice rang out in his mind, "Master, although this Ghost King's Claw is low grade, it is a peak grade item. Low grade Enchanted Artifacts are also divided into different grades. The Ghost King's Claw has nine grades, while your Spirit Snake Blade has three. This is truly a treasure."
His heart trembled, "It seems that the only thing King Yue wants is for me to be dead set on becoming his foster son. He will give me treasures and help me reach the Transcendent realm."
Zhao Ziba came again and handed Su Fang an empty bag, "Second Brother, your bag is only at the Secret Path realm. This bag is at the Dharma Cave Realm. The space inside is ten times bigger than yours. I also gave you a Dharma Cave Realm Illusion Cloud Rope, five hundred Immortal Pills, and a thousand low grade Spirit Stones."
"Many thanks, Big Brother."
"Let's go, Big Brother will bring you to the new palace."
Zhao Ziba, like a real brother, led Su Fang out of the treasury.
Night.
Late at night, in the main hall of the King's mansion.
"Foster Father, Su Fang is too greedy. Once he hears about Enchanted Artifacts, Immortal Pills, and Spirit Stones, his soul will leave his body. Especially when he hears that Foster Father will help him reach the Transcendent realm, he's practically drooling."
"Just let him daydream for now."
Within the main hall, Zhao Ziba was reporting to King Yue.
After King Yue heard this, he gave a domineering smile and praised Zhao Ziba, "He's just an ant, a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world. Now that he has status and strength, he has long forgotten who his surname is. He thinks that my, King Yue's, things are so easy to take. Ba 'er, if he needs anything in the future, just give it to him, or take the initiative to give him benefits."
"Yes, I'll return to the Imperial Sky Mansion first."
Zhao Ziba bid farewell and left.
"Right now, the Zhao Empire is in danger. I can't let that brat Emperor destroy my Zhao Family's empire." King Yue proudly puffed out his chest. In the middle of the night, in the main hall, he seemed to be the Zhao Empire's Emperor.
