Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"Natal Dharma Treasure?" Hao Ren asked. He thought that he could only get Natal Dharma Treasures after reaching Zhen-level.

"Yes, Natal Dharma Treasure is the Dharma Treasure that would connect to your mind and spirit. Normally, you can keep it in your body, feed it your blood and cultivating its spirituality. In the end, you'll be able to become one with your Natal Dharma Treasure," Zhao Guang explained patiently.

"Isn't it too early to talk about Natal Dharma Treasure right now?" Zhao Hongyu said worriedly.

"You've seen the situation now. West Ocean is forcing us out. If Ren doesn't improve his strength quickly, he might be their major target," Zhao Guang said.

"Natal Dharma Treasure will bond together with you for the good and the bad. Although it can help you to raise your power to a certain degree, it would be a threat too if a master gets a hold of your Natal Dharma Treasure. Isn't it better for him to get to Zhen-level and have a steady foundation first before getting a Natal Dharma Treasure?" Zhao Hongyu asked.

"I think it's more suitable for Ren to hurry up and refine a Natal Dharma Treasure now as West Ocean just left," Zhao Guang said and turned to Hao Ren. "What's your take on this?"

"Let's go to the Dragon Palace and see," Hao Ren said frankly. Premier Xia explained Dharma Treasure briefly before but didn't mention anything about Natal Dharma Treasure.

Thinking of choosing a Dharma Treasure that would join his cultivation from now on, Hao Ren was still pretty excited.

"I'll stay because I got a bunch of homework to do," Zhao Yanzi said lightly.

Zhao Guang nodded. Hao Ren took Zi's Dragon Core, and Zi was just like a healthier mortal being now. If she wanted to cultivate, she would have to wait until Hao Ren reaches a certain realm and completes the secret technique with Zhao Yanzi to return half of the mature Dragon Core to her."

However, Zhao Yanzi didn't put any effort into cultivation, and Zhao Guang never had high expectations for her. Therefore, he didn't even allocate a Natal Dharma Treasure for her just in case that this item would become a burden for her if it got captured

After dinner, Zhao Yanzi went back to her room to study, and Zhao Hongyu followed her upstairs to tutor her. Zhao Hongyu thought that she occasionally had to care about Zhao Yanzi's studies due to Zhao Yanzi's Class Advisor's last home visit.

The matter wasn't urgent, so Zhao Guang drove Hao Ren to the beach. On the way there, the Father-In-Law and the Son-In-Law didn't have that many conversations. Zhao Guang didn't even ask about the two-day trip.

They arrived at the beach, went through the passage last time, crossed the bottom of the sea, and arrived at the Dragon Palace. Even though flying was convenient, there would be some inevitable inspections if Inspectors found out. Only when it was an emergency or when the weather reduced visibility, such as a thunderstorm, would the dragon cultivators be allowed to fly in the sky. This was a part of the regulations.

"Welcome Dragon King, welcome Fuma!" Premier Xia sensed the arrival of Zhao Guang and Hao Ren from the array formation and greeted them.

"Yes, have you organized the list of presents from last time?" Zhao Guang asked.

"I've already put it in the main palace for the Dragon King to look through," Premier Xia said respectfully.

Zhao Guang nodded.

"I plan to have Ren choose a Natal Dharma Treasure, and I'll leave that to you. I'll check the altar for the Heavenly Tribulation. Come to see me if anything happens."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Guang flew away.

"Natal Dharma Treasure…"

Premier Xia seemed to be surprised too. Then, he slightly bowed at Hao Ren and said, "Please follow me, Gongzi Hao."

He met Hao Ren many times, and they weren't as unfamiliar as before. He was closer to Hao Ren than Zhao Yanzi, and he was more inclined towards this 'Fuma'.

Hao Ren thought that Premier Xia was bringing him to the Godly Treasure Palace to choose a Dharma Treasure, but Premier Xia led him to the southeast corner of the Dragon Palace.

There was a huge palace here, and there was a normal brick house beside it with a small garden.

Premier Xia stopped in front of the fence that circled the garden and yelled, "Grandmaster Qiu, are you in there?"

"Even with Premier Xia's prestigious status in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he has to stop at the entrance of this small garden. Who is the person living in this house?" Hao Ren couldn't help but be curious about it.

Seeing no reactions from the inside, Premier Xia straightened his body and yelled again respectfully, "Grandmaster Qiu, are you in there?"

There was still no reaction. Premier Xia thought slightly and finally yelled again, "Grandmaster Qiu, are you in there?"

If it weren't a request from the Dragon King, he wouldn't dare to bother this influential figure! If they still didn't get a reply after three tries, he could only bring Hao Ren back and report to the Dragon King!

The worn wooden door of the brick house was pulled open, and a little Daoist, dressed in green clothes, walked out; he looked like he was eight to nine years old.

"What's up with the yelling? I'm taking a nap!"

Premier Xia shrunk his neck and smiled awkwardly, "Little Daoist Zhen, is your master here?"

"Nope! He went to travel the world!" this kid answered impatiently with an unfriendly attitude.

"When will he be back?" Premier Xia asked again.

"I don't know!" the kid said before turning around and heading back to the house to continue his nap.

However, Premier Xia didn't even dare to get angry. He could only force a smile and didn't call the boy back. Seeing that this little Daoist was about to close the door, he turned to face Hao Ren with a sad expression.

"Eh?" Suddenly, the kid, who was about to close the door, got surprised. He walked out of the house, passed through the garden that had a lot of plants, and stood in front of Hao Ren and Premier Xia.

Hao Ren looked at this little Daoist at the same time and found that this kid actually looked like an eight or nine years old boy. He had a red dot on his forehead and was very good-looking.

"Five Elemental Body Type. Hmm, that's kind of weird," he circled around Hao Ren and murmured.

Premier Xia smiled as he stood aside and didn't dare to interrupt.

"Hey, show me your cultivation technique," this little Daoist went back to Hao Ren and said.

Hao Ren wasn't happy with the attitude, but he thought that he shouldn't hold a grudge against a little kid. Thus, he circulated the Nature Essence in his body using Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and shot out five elemental sword lights over the small house.

After a crashing sound, five dashes of sword energies exploded, and the energy got bounced back with tremendous force. Premier Xia set up a defensive energy wall quickly in order to block the damage.

Obviously, powerful array formations were set up around the house.

"Oh." This boy in green didn't have a beard, but he still touched his chin pretentiously. "You're cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll," he said.

Hao Ren was surprised because this kid could tell that he was cultivating an uncommon technique instantly, which meant that this kid was knowledgeable. He started to take this kid seriously.

"Are you here for the Natal Dharma Treasure?" this boy turned to look at Premier Xia and asked.

"Yes, yes," Premier Xia nodded hastily.

"My master is not here, and I'm too lazy to do the work. But again, it doesn't matter if one has or doesn't have a Natal Dharma Treasure when he or she is cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll," the boy said proudly.

"How so?" Premier Xia asked right away.

"The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll uses Nature Essence to cast sword energies. Even though this cultivation technique could host a Natal Dharma Treasure, it's better off using the sword energies that are formless and weightless. They are capable of killing enemies from thousands of kilometers away, and they could also form sword formations. Wouldn't it be extra to have a Natal Dharma Treasure in the body?" he squinted at Premier Xia and said.

"I see. I know now." Premier Xia cupped his hands together slightly and replied. However, he thought in his mind, "If you don't want to make us a Natal Dharma Treasure, why bother to say so much other stuff. He has the same weird temper as his master."

Yet, Hao Ren suddenly had a feel of comprehension. In fact, this kid's words were similar to his assumption. The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was to change formless sword energies into solid swords. If it could be further cultivated, the sword energies could reach the grade of 'Tiangang'. Wouldn't it be more powerful than any other Dharma Treasure?

"However, since you came, I shouldn't waste your time." this kid said. Even though he looked like a kid, he spoke like an old man. He stood on his tiptoe, reached his hand out, and pinched Hao Ren's necklace.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. Don't bother me if nothing happens in the future." The kid waved his hand and returned to the house.

"Thank you very much, Little Daoist Zhen!" Premier Xia cupped his hands together and said respectfully.

Seeing the boy entering the house, Premier Xia turned to Hao Ren quickly and whispered, "What did he give you?"

Hao Ren lowered his head and looked at the necklace. "There doesn't seem to be any changes."

"Try inputting some Nature Essence," Premier Xia said.

Hao Ren followed his instruction and suddenly made a discovery… This broken necklace suddenly had space within it! It was a space that was as big as a bedroom!

It was similar to a Dharma Treasure called Xumi Ring that could be used as a portable storage space. However, the space inside this necklace was now a few hundred times bigger than the space inside ordinary Xumi Ring!

Seeing the surprised expression on Hao Ren's face, Premier Xia guessed that little Daoist Zhen had given Hao Ren something.

He smiled contently and said, "Finally, we didn't come in vain! Gongzi Hao, let's report to the Dragon King. I've tried my best, so please say something nice about me!"

Hao Ren nodded and followed Premier Xia. They left this corner and headed towards the direction of the main palace.

What Hao Ren was shocked about wasn't just the large space inside his necklace. On top of that, that kid created a space in the necklace from a simple pinch of his fingers.

According to Premier Xia's explanation from last time, spatial Dharma Treasures like Xumi Ring were the hardest to create!

Also, what was amazing was that the Dharma Spell needed to open this space was the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!

When that boy created the Dharma Treasure casually, he also changed the Dharma Spell of this Dharma Treasure into the phrases written on Hao Ren's cultivation technique!

When he saw that Hao Ren was still in shock, Premier Xia laughed, "Gongzi Hao, you are very fortunate. This little Daoist Zhen has the same queer temper as his master and never easily gave away benefits. However, he made an exception and upgraded your Dharma Treasure for you!"

"Who is his master?" Thinking of Premier Xia's respectful attitude in front of that kid, Hao Ren asked.

Premier Xia slowed down his pace. "The Godly Dragon has nine sons, and each of them is unique and different. His master is the elder son of the Godly Dragon who created heaven and earth, Qiu Niu!"
