From Zhao Yuanfeng's incident, Chu Xiu could tell that the relationship between Huo Xingzun's foster sons was not harmonious. Now, it was even more obvious.
According to the ranking, Qiu Tianya had disappeared, so Baili Pobing was the leader. Therefore, if he wanted to speak and present a congratulatory gift, he should have been the first to speak. But now, Fu Longxiao had taken the lead.
Moreover, Fu Longxiao was very good at business. His Blue Dragon Fleet traveled between the Windbreaker Sea and the Breezy Sea, bringing in a huge amount of resource trading revenue every time.
Although Baili Pobing was also the master of an island, he was just a boorish fellow. Before Kang Dongming crippled his legs, Nalan Hai had some tricks up his sleeves. Unfortunately, after his legs were crippled, he was unable to recover. He lived in seclusion on a nameless island with only a few servants serving him. He could not be said to have any influence.
Therefore, among Huo Xingzun's foster sons, Fu Longxiao was the strongest.
After Fu Longxiao, Baili Pobing and Nalan Hai presented their gifts. However, compared to Fu Longxiao's Sea Bodhi, their gifts were much shabbier.
Baili Pobing presented a godly weapon. Seeing this, Chu Xiu shook his head slightly.
After being someone else's foster son for so many years, how could he not see what level Huo Xingzun was? Even if you gave him Listen to Spring Rain, Huo Xingzun probably wouldn't take a liking to it. It was useless.
As for Nalan Hai, what he presented was even shabbier. It turned out to be a calligraphy and painting he wrote.
However, the calligraphy and painting were full of sword qi. It was obvious that Nalan Hai had put a lot of thought into it. It could even be said that a Real Pellet State martial artist could use this calligraphy and painting as a martial arts secret manual. However, it was still useless for Huo Xingzun.
So for these 2 people, Huo Xingzun just smiled gently. He was not as happy as when he received Fu Longxiao's birthday gift.
After the 3 presented their gifts, the rest handed the gifts to the Huo Family's servants in order, and then the other party read out the names.
In fact, the gifts given by the servants were very ordinary. basically, there was nothing too outrageous. As long as it was not too bad, it was fine.
Huo Xingzun held a birthday celebration every few years. Who would have the financial resources to prepare so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures every time?
When it was Chu Xiu's turn, the servant of the Huo Family looked at what Chu Xiu handed to him, and he was slightly taken aback.
It turned out to be something like a blueprint, but after seeing the explanation on it, he was so shocked that he almost shouted out.
He calmed his emotions and shouted, "Long Gorge Island's Xiao Ziqi, presents a Relic Weapon blueprint!"
Because Chu Xiu came with Xiao Ziqi's invitation, the servant of the Huo Family didn't know Chu Xiu, so the name he read was also Xiao Ziqi's.
But when they heard this, the people present suddenly exploded.
Relic Weapon blueprint? This Xiao Ziqi isn't good enough? How could he take out such a thing as a birthday gift?
Whether it was in the Central Plains or overseas, Relic Weapon blueprints were extremely precious. It could even be said that Relic Weapon blueprints were more expensive than Relic Weapons.
The reason was very simple. It was because Relic Weapons could not be replicated.
Ninety-nine percent of Weapon Refinement Grandmasters could forge a Relic Weapon, but if you asked them to forge an identical Relic Weapon, it could be said to be extremely difficult. It could even be said to be basically impossible.
Part of the reason for forging a Relic Weapon was the materials, Weapon Refinement Grandmaster's level was another, and luck was another.
Therefore, Relic Weapons could not be mass-produced because luck was something that no one could predict.
But now, what Chu Xiu took out was the blueprint of the Heavenly War Case. This thing was between a mechanism and a weapon. As long as there were enough materials and it was completely forged according to the blueprint, it would definitely be a Relic Weapon, the kind that could be completely replicated.
This kind of thing was much more precious. In fact, in history, there were only a few Relic Weapons like the Heavenly War Case that could be replicated. They might not be the strongest Relic Weapon, but they were the most stable.
Therefore, such a blueprint was even more precious than a Relic Weapon.
Now that Chu Xiu no longer needed the Heavenly War Case, there was no harm in taking it out as a congratulatory gift.
Most importantly, if the Heavenly War Case was used as an ordinary weapon, it would even be weaker than most Relic Weapons.
Only with the Black Tortoise True Technique, the Heavenly War Case would be the real Heavenly War Case.
Of course, Chu Xiu would not hand over the Black Tortoise True Technique so easily.
At this moment, seeing that everyone's eyes were on Chu Xiu, Xiao Ziqi hurriedly said, "Everyone, this congratulatory gift is not from me, but from Official Chu."
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Chu Xiu. Only a few people present knew him, and most of them were still wondering who this person was.
At this time, Pak Dong-lai, the Pavilion Leader of Tianyishui Hall whom Chu Xiu had met before, stood out and said, "This is Lord Chu Xiu of the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, he is also a famous Diabolism overlord, and even controls a country's Wulin."
As he spoke, Pak Dong-lai briefly introduced the identity of Chu Xiu to everyone. Although it was a brief introduction, it still surprised everyone present. This person was really a big shot.
The overseas region was much more realistic than the Central Plains, and there were not many differences between the orthodox and the devil. Therefore, they did not object to Chu Xiu's identity as a Diabolism cultivator.
In the Central Plains, the orthodox and the devil were divided into two. Chu Xiu controlled half of the Diabolism, and he even controlled the Jianghu forces of a country. This was a rather shocking power.
Baili Pobing and Nalan Hai, who were above, looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.
What was Chu Xiu doing here? Why did he give such a precious birthday gift to Foster Father?
They subconsciously turned their eyes to Huo Xingzun, but they found that Huo Xingzun was looking at Chu Xiu in a daze, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, and his eyes were even shining slightly.
At this moment, Huo Xingzun was indeed very excited. In his eyes, Chu Xiu was indeed a rare treasure, the kind that he had never seen or heard of before.
As the most powerful person in the entire Breezy Ocean, it could even be said that Huo Xingzun did not directly say that he was the master of the entire Breezy Ocean.
The reason why he had such a status today was because of his five foster sons. Huo Xingzun had never denied this.
Therefore, many people suspected that he was proficient in the art of divination, that he was a Great Grandmaster, or that he had some kind of rare treasure on him. However, they had all guessed wrong.
Huo Xingzun did not know the art of divination. He did not even understand the cultivation of the martial way, let alone something as advanced as the art of divination.
He did not have any rare treasure on him either. In fact, it should be said that his luck had never been very good. He had never even opened a secret box and found anything good.
However, he was able to achieve what he had today by relying on an opportunity, an enormous opportunity!
Huo Xingzun was not originally a cultivator. He was only the son of a fisherman on a small island, and it was possible that he had nothing to do with the martial way in this life.
However, when he was young, something had completely changed his fate.
It was when Huo Xingzun was in his teens. He was drying his fishing net on the shore, when a man in white robes, who looked like an immortal, came treading on the water. Under Huo Xingzun's shocked gaze, the man asked him for directions.
Huo Xingzun had told him. The immortal had patted his head, thanked him, and left.
From then on, Huo Xingzun felt that his body had become much lighter and stronger. He had even been valued by an Island Lord who had passed by and had been taken in as a follower.
After he had started cultivating the martial way, he had discovered that his body had undergone some changes.
As long as he concentrated on looking at a person, he would be able to see a ray of light from that person's body. Some were bright, some were dark.
Later, as he had slowly explored, he had discovered that people who had a bright ray of light would definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. They might even be able to soar into the sky one day.
As for those who had a dim ray of light, they might be unlucky at any time, no matter how glorious they were.
At that time, he had discovered that he could actually see a person's future luck!
This kind of luck was very blurry, and he could only see it once. He was not sure if the person's luck would decrease after the person's luck increased.
However, the more he saw, the more he could judge how far the person would go in the future based on the intensity of the ray of light.
Therefore, Huo Xingzun relied on his own opportunities to cling onto some people who seemed to be in dire straits now, but would have a rising destiny in the future. Huo Xingzun would gain their trust, and when they rose, he would also follow them to the heavens. Therefore, even if Huo Xingzun's martial arts talent was not the kind of amazing, he was still living a good life, and his path had been smooth sailing.
What happened after that was much simpler. Huo Xingzun met Chou Tianya, who was still a teenager. The light on Chou Tianya's body was so blinding that Huo Xingzun's eyes hurt. Hence, Huo Xingzun decisively took Chou Tianya as his godson and raised him for tens of years. Finally, Chou Tianya reached the peak and helped him build the foundation of the Supreme Island.
Later on, he met Baili Pobing and the others, and he took them in as his foster sons before they were famous in Jianghu.
Although the rays of light from them were much dimmer than Qiu Tianya's, they were already the brightest among all the people he had met.
Relying on his ability to read people, Huo Xingzun managed to get to where he was today.
He had seen the rays of light from his own children, but they were all extremely dim. It was obvious that they were not important figures.
Therefore, there were rumors in the outside world that he treated his adopted sons better than his own. This was indeed true, because he only had these few adopted sons to rely on. As for his descendants, even if they were his own, none of them lived up to his expectations.
This was Huo Xingzun's deepest secret. He did not even tell his wife and son about it.
All this while, Huo Xingzun had thought that he was a person favored by the heavens.
When the immortal touched my head, I tied my hair and received eternal life!
The person he met in the past must have been the legendary immortal!
He had always been making use of the opportunities given by the immortal. Today, he felt that his opportunity had arrived again.
He also saw a strong ray of light from Chu Xiu, but it was different from Baili Pobing and the others. It was also different from Qiu Tianya's.
In the instant that he used his mind to look at Chu Xiu, he thought that he saw … the sun!
