Shuo Ya raised his hand and waved.
Countless treasures suddenly appeared on the open space in the center of the main hall.
Most ordinary Families would choose to use fake models to complete the grab-bag ceremony, or even if they displayed real items, their rank would usually not be too high.
Unlike Shuo Ya's display, two or three Zhuo weapons could be seen among them, not to mention the Spiritual Artifacts and Treasure Artifacts scattered everywhere.
Everyone present gasped.
Such a display, even they had to exclaim at his immense wealth.
Shuo Heng had absorbed so much information before he was even born, so he could roughly distinguish the rank of each item at this time.
Starting from Zhuo weapons, artifacts develop sentience.
Although the sentience is still very weak and small, this means that they have transcended the level of inanimate objects and entered a new world.
They possess likes and dislikes, and they possess thoughts.
Yan Qing stroked her child's head and slowly placed him on the ground.
The small child looked up at his parents and, under their encouraging gazes, walked step by step towards the treasures scattered on the ground.
Chessboards, long halberds, seals, abacuses…
There was even a Medicine Cauldron of excellent quality.
Shuo Heng was a little curious and reached out to touch the Medicine Cauldron.
It was actually warm.
When everyone saw Shuo Heng reach out, they all thought he had taken a liking to the Xuanjin Medicine Cauldron.
"Becoming an alchemist is also a good choice."
"That's right, high-rank Medicinal Pills are hard to come by anywhere."
As for Shuo Heng not having a Fire Spiritual Root, no one present mentioned it.
Whether he had a Fire Spiritual Root or not was not important; with the Shuo Family's strength in the future, it would not be difficult to find exotic fire beasts to provide fire for Shuo Heng to use.
However, just as everyone was filled with anticipation, they found that Shuo Heng merely touched the Medicine Cauldron and then turned and walked away.
…Oh, so he wasn't going to pick it up.
Everyone continued to watch patiently.
In fact, Shuo Heng had a goal from the beginning, after all, he wasn't really a one-year-old child.
True children still rely on instinctive likes and dislikes to perceive everything in the world.
In comparison, Shuo Heng knew exactly what he wanted.
Reborn into this life, he only wanted to act according to his heart.
These four words sound simple, but the world always has many helplessness and difficulties.
But.
For this.
He was willing to overturn all people and things that stood in his way.
As for the System’s tasks…
Since he had this responsibility, he would do his best to fulfill it.
After all, without this System, he wouldn't be able to continue living.
In a corner of the scattered treasures, there was a folding fan made of East Sea Nan Bamboo.
East Sea Nan Bamboo is the toughest Spiritual Bamboo in the entire Vanyang Realm.
The fan surface, made of the highest-grade Heavenly Silkworm Silk, was as white as snow, elegant and translucent.
This folding fan caught Shuo Heng's eye with just one glance.
And, it was also a Zhuo weapon.
Zhuo weapons have sentience and already possess the ability to choose their master.
For such sentient artifacts, a mutual choice is the best option.
Thus, seeing that it had attracted Shuo Heng's attention, the bamboo fan immediately emitted an even more joyful hum.
Like the wind passing through a bamboo forest, joyful and melodious.
"Is this a Zhuo weapon choosing its master?"
"Indeed it is."
But to be able to make a Zhuo weapon actively recognize him as its master, it showed Shuo Heng's talent.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Cang Lin's eyes.
It seemed Shuo Gu had not exaggerated; this child's bone structure was uniquely blessed, rarely seen in this era.
With Immortal Spiritual Roots never appearing and Divine Seeds being like legends, a Saint Spiritual Root was naturally a top-tier talent in the world.
Thinking of this, Cang Lin subtly glanced at the person behind him.
If his Senior Brother didn't make a move, then he would take this child as his direct disciple.
—He was truly a planner ✓
Feng Lei's Body mainly focuses on combat, which is also suitable for the Legacy of Canglan Immortal Palace's main peak.
The child, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was steadily walking step by step towards that secluded corner.
During this time, he passed by a Heaven Rank Martial Skill scroll and then by a Heaven-Suppressing Seal that had reached the Zhuo weapon rank.
The Heaven-Suppressing Seal trembled slightly, eventually choosing to quiet down.
Shuo Heng, however, still did not stop.
Until he walked past a paint black longsword.
The longsword let out a clear sword cry, as if vying for attention.
The boy slightly tilted his head and glanced at it.
Zhuo weapon, Limitless Sword.
Shuo Heng had seen this sword before; he had personally watched his father take it out of the treasure vault.
However, the Dao of the sword?
Perhaps it would only become one of his methods.
Not his entirety.
So Shuo Heng did not hesitate, stepping past the Limitless Sword.
Finally, he picked up the green folding fan and held it in his arms.
He was still small, and a folding fan, more suitable for adults, could only be held like a jade ruyi in his arms.
Shuo Ya and Yan Qing looked at their son's small figure, their highly upturned lips indicating their good mood.
It seemed that no matter what Shuo Heng ultimately chose, they would be genuinely happy for their child.
And the guests who came to the banquet also congratulated them again at this moment.
"It's a Zhuo weapon! It seems this child is born extraordinary."
"A Zhuo weapon recognizing its master is truly exceptional.
I hope that in the future, this child can ascend to the peak of our Vanyang Realm."
"This folding fan also has a good meaning. Roaming the world freely, how delightful?"
Ming Wanli looked at the child, who was once again held in the Shuo Family wife's arms, a fleeting, obscure light flashing in his eyes.
For the rest of the ceremony, Shuo Heng stayed by Shuo Ya's side.
The protagonist of today, to put it plainly, was still him; if he went to rest, it wouldn't be very courteous.
Moreover, gaining experience by following his father was also excellent.
Most importantly…
Shuo Heng's eyes lit up as he looked at the plates of delicious delicacies placed before him.
On one side was the meat of a Black-Scaled Pig, and on the other was the most famous Purple Moon Sturgeon from the Tideless Sea.
Delicious, truly delicious!
Shuo Heng maintained an elegant posture, yet his eating speed was not slow at all, finishing the dishes in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He slightly turned his head to look at Shuo Ya, who was sitting not far from him.
Shuo Ya had just recovered from the social exchanges and immediately saw the little brat staring intently at him.
His left eye read "Delicious," and his right eye read "I want more."
Shuo Ya's mouth twitched, and he secretly transmitted a message to the waiting attendant beside him.
"Go get some more food for Xiao Heng."
"Yes, Family Head."
Shuo Heng seemed to have noticed his communication with the attendant and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Suddenly…
"Little Brother!" Shuo Qianye ran out from somewhere and was now standing beside Shuo Heng, "Congratulations on turning one year old."
Since their first meeting a year ago, Shuo Qianye's gentle and refined demeanor had left a deep impression on Shuo Heng.
Now, a year later, Shuo Qianye, who had begun to Cultivate, exuded an even more ethereal aura.
Shuo Heng smiled: "Big Brother."
Shuo Qianye took out a purple jade pendant carved into the shape of a Dragon from his Storage Ring and placed it in Shuo Heng's hand. He introduced it with a slightly embarrassed look.
"This… this item is the first jade I carved with my sword since I started practicing swordsmanship. I give it to you today, and I hope Little Brother won't dislike my poor craftsmanship…"
Shuo Heng looked at the slightly rough jade pendant in his hand, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
Compared to those valuable treasures, Shuo Qianye's ordinary jade stone was truly unremarkable.
But for Shuo Heng, who had never experienced brotherly affection, it was a very precious item.
It made Shuo Heng feel more joyful than receiving those valuable gifts.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Shuo Heng held the jade pendant in his hand, "I like it very much."
