After Master Huang got off the carriage, he addressed the teachers and students of Rainfront Academy, saying, "All of you are here waiting for the king, remember not to run around. Liu Guanfeng, please come with me to meet the king."
With that, Master Huang walked ahead, and Liu Guanfeng also got off Mount and followed behind him. Dean Su led the teachers and students into a room to wait for the king's arrival.
Liu Guanfeng silently followed behind Master Huang. After walking for a while, Master Huang turned around and said, "Liu Guanfeng, your reputation is quite big now; many ministers in the court are talking about you."
"How could a student have any reputation? It's all thanks to the excellent education from the academy's teachers, and the king has given me this opportunity to showcase myself. However, Master Huang's name is often mentioned by my father at home."
Liu Guanfeng lightly patted Master Huang on the back. He knew that these people loved money the most, followed by flattery.
As Liu Guanfeng guessed, Master Huang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not at all; how could I let General Liu worry about me?"
Liu Guanfeng bowed slightly and replied, "I am not lying; my father has always said that Master Huang is a favored person by the king. He told me that if I ever get a chance to meet Master Huang, I should get close to you. I will be counting on you for guidance in the future." With that, Liu Guanfeng took out the Wolf King Guardian Core from his pocket.
"Master Huang, this Core belongs to a Sixth Tier Wolf King Guardian. Although it is not a precious item, it is a token of my sincerity."
Master Huang pretended to push it away, saying, "How can I accept such an expensive gift from you? This is absolutely out of the question."
Liu Guanfeng pushed it back firmly. "Master Huang, please don't be polite with me; I will be relying on you for support in the future."
"Alright then, I'll accept it."
"You should accept it. Please take care of me in the future."
"Definitely." Master Huang laughed heartily as he accepted the Core.
Then, accompanied by Liu Guanfeng, they walked to the king's Imperial Study, where Master Huang stood outside and announced loudly, "Your Majesty, Liu Guanfeng from Rainfront Academy has arrived."
"Let him in," a deep voice came from inside the room.
Master Huang stepped aside for Liu Guanfeng, who entered the room.
Upon entering, Liu Guanfeng saw a table covered with yellow cloth, embroidered with a flying dragon similar to the one at the city gate, but this cloth only had one dragon. On the table were writing tools and some gold vessels.
Sitting behind the table was King Sun Guangshan. Liu Guanfeng quickly stepped forward and knelt before him, saying, "Commoner Liu Guanfeng pays respects to Your Majesty."
"You may rise."
Liu Guanfeng stood upright beside him.
"Liu Guanfeng, you performed well at this conference, winning a total of five championships. This has set a record in history. I didn't expect you to not only have profound cultivation but also excel in Calculation."
Liu Guanfeng bowed slightly, "These are all thanks to the guidance of my teachers."
"Don't be modest; even if your teachers had them compete with you in Calculation, they wouldn't match your skills."
"Your Majesty, you flatter me."
"The purpose of bringing you here is clear; it is to allow you to select an item from the treasury. Since you're here, let's go choose something now." After speaking, Sun Guangshan stood up and forcefully turned the armrest of his dragon chair.
Then there was a creaking sound as the screen behind Sun Guangshan moved back about two meters, revealing an opening. Sun Guangshan walked toward the opening first, and Liu Guanfeng followed him down into the tunnel.
On both sides of the tunnel were Night Pearls, and the passage was very dry. Liu Guanfeng followed Sun Guangshan down until they reached a massive iron door. Above the iron door were many pinhole-sized openings. As Sun Guangshan approached the door, two knights emerged from either side, each followed by two Golden Light Tigers. From their aura, Liu Guanfeng sensed that these two individuals were extremely dangerous.
Two knights saw Sun Guangshan and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."
Sun Guangshan nodded and said, "You two, open the gate."
After he spoke, each knight took out a round jade pendant from their bosom, which was engraved with a flying dragon. The two knights placed the pendants into the two rings on the iron gate. Then Sun Guangshan also took out two unknown objects from his bosom and placed his hands on the palm print areas of the gate. The three of them then turned their palms simultaneously; Sun Guangshan's hands turned outward while the knights' palms turned inward.
A sound of "click" came from inside the iron gate. Then all three withdrew their hands. Sun Guangshan put the objects back into his bosom, and after the knights stored their pendants away, each pushed one side of the gate to open it.
Liu Guanfeng watched as the two knights struggled to push open the heavy gate and thought to himself: What a heavy gate! It takes all the strength of two Advanced Knights to open it.
Once the gate was opened, the two knights stepped back and quickly disappeared into the dark passage beside them.
Liu Guanfeng and Sun Guangshan entered the Treasury together. When Liu Guanfeng stepped into the Treasury, he finally understood why it was called a Treasury; he couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
The first thing Liu Guanfeng saw was rows of weapons, each radiating a dazzling light, clearly not ordinary items. On the first rack were Rapiers, a type of weapon similar to a Western sword; on the second rack were One-Handed Swords, which were double-edged. The third rack held Two-Handed Greatswords, all sealed swords. The fourth rack displayed shields—large ones, small ones, square ones, round ones—various types.
Liu Guanfeng couldn't help but touch them left and right. Sun Guangshan stood nearby, smiling as he watched Liu Guanfeng.
"How is it? Did you find anything you like? All these weapons and shields are crafted by renowned masters. Each piece is something rare and precious."
Liu Guanfeng shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, these swords and shields are indeed good items, but I am not particularly interested in swords."
Behind the swords and shields were long weapons; in this world, there were only three types: knives, spears, and staffs. The first row was knives, followed by two rows of spears, and finally two rows of racks holding staffs.
Moreover, each weapon was adorned with Cold Light; it was clear that these weapons were also rare treasures.
Liu Guanfeng had always had a great fondness for weapons, so when he saw these rows of knives, spears, and staffs, he could no longer contain himself. He turned to Sun Guangshan and bowed again, saying, "Your Majesty, may I ask if Commoners can use these weapons?"
Sun Guangshan nodded, "You can take whatever you want. If you find something suitable, feel free to take it directly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Guanfeng did not reach for the swords and knives because he was afraid of offending taboos. Instead, he walked to the back shelf and picked up a stick, unable to discern what material it was made from.
Liu Guanfeng held the stick in his hand and lightly shook it. After demonstrating a few simple moves, he placed it back on the shelf.
Seeing that Liu Guanfeng only tried the stick and did not touch any other weapons, Sun Guangshan curiously asked, "Liu Guanfeng, aren't you going to try any other weapons?"
Liu Guanfeng bowed to Sun Guangshan, "Your Majesty, I will not try any others. These weapons are all very sharp, and I am afraid I might accidentally injure you."
Sun Guangshan nodded, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age. Very well, continue watching."
Behind the weapon rack were several tables covered with many scrolls. The titles included "Blazing Palm," "Thousand Gold Fist," "Flowing Sword Technique," and other manuals. Liu Guanfeng skipped over them without even glancing.
Sun Guangshan asked, "Liu Guanfeng, aren't you going to take a closer look at these manuals?"
Liu Guanfeng bowed again, "Your Majesty, there is a reason I did not choose weapons earlier and do not choose manuals now."
"Oh? Please tell me."
"Your Majesty, the truth is I do not wish to say this, but I cannot cultivate. My meridians are naturally blocked, and I also possess the Five Elements Balance attribute."
Upon hearing this, Sun Guangshan shook his head. "What a pity! It's rare for someone with such good skills to be unable to cultivate. Yet you managed to win the knight competition championship despite being unable to cultivate; that's truly remarkable. You have gained my admiration."
"Your Majesty flatters me. I only have slightly better physical conditions and stronger resistance to blows. If I were to face an Intermediate Knight, I would probably have been defeated long ago."
"Your current performance is already quite impressive. If you were able to cultivate, I believe no one would be able to surpass you soon."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
"Then continue selecting your items."
Liu Guanfeng moved forward, and on the table behind the secret manuals were all Core items. He could sense the energy emanating from the Cores, realizing that these Cores were not inferior to the Wolf King's Guardian Core he had given to Master Huang. Various lights shimmered within the Cores.
Since he could not cultivate, taking a Core lost its significance for Liu Guanfeng. Thus, he merely glanced at them and walked past.
Behind the Cores lay gold and silver jewelry. The table was adorned with an array of jewels: strings of necklaces, individual hairpins, pairs of earrings, and large gemstones… all quietly resting on the surface.
Liu Guanfeng approached the table and examined the jewelry one by one. When he saw the jewels on the table, he thought of his mother at home. Liu Guanfeng pondered: I should pick out a piece of jewelry for her; after all, the items in front of me are of no use to me.
So, Liu Guanfeng carefully looked over the jewelry on the table, intending to choose something for his mother.
"What’s this, Liu Guanfeng? Are you actually interested in jewelry?" Sun Guangshan asked with a smile.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I wish to select a gift for my mother. Although I prepared some gifts for her when I came to the imperial city, those items cannot compare to what Your Majesty has here."
"I didn't expect you to have such filial piety. Go ahead and choose carefully."
Liu Guanfeng slowly examined the items before him. As he reached the back of the table, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. There were also some items on a nearby shelf next to him. Inside were several boxes, along with some displayed openly.
