Zhao Shicheng glanced at Yan Zhaoge and slowly nodded, "I know what you want to say, Zhao Ge."

In private, with no one else around, when talking to Yan Zhaoge, Zhao Shicheng no longer referred to himself as 'I' or 'this king,' but used a very ordinary form of address.

"If we say that he suddenly became enlightened, then the changes in Hao are too great and too sudden."

"Let's not even mention the drastic change in personality; his alchemy skills are such that even I might have to admit my inferiority. His martial arts cultivation, while not yet apparent, has made far more progress in the past half year than before."

Zhao Shicheng was very frank and did not underestimate Yan Zhaoge just because he was a junior.

For Zhao Hao, who had previously been unremarkable, Zhao Shicheng could not claim to know him very well.

But after Zhao Hao changed, if Zhao Shicheng was willing, he could naturally investigate most of Zhao Hao's life from birth to the present, or he would not be a king.

"If we say he obtained a great opportunity, inherited someone's legacy, or was taken as a disciple by a high master, it could勉强 explain it."

"But in the field of alchemy, not only talent is important, but also accumulation and practice. How did Hao reach this level?"

Zhao Shicheng shook his head slightly, "However, these can be gradually investigated. If my son can become more outstanding, it is undoubtedly a good thing for Dongtang."

Yan Zhaoge listened while secretly smirking.

For those in power, they are not afraid of subordinates becoming capable; the key is whether the situation is still under their control.

As long as they do not lose control of the situation, the more capable the subordinates, the better.

Often, some signs and flaws are not unseen by others; they just pretend to be ignorant and continue to observe secretly.

Zhao Shicheng is like this, and his father Yan Di is even harder to fool.

Therefore, since Yan Zhaoge came to this world, everything has been done gradually and step by step.

Not completely avoiding suspicion, but at least not too different.

Although he rediscovered the inner crystal furnace, it is an invention of an object, not the level of alchemy itself. Yan Zhaoge's other alchemy techniques are only of medium to high level.

He rediscovered the technique of transferring elixir with a golden needle, but it is just one skill. His overall alchemy skills have gradually improved, slowly enhancing the impression he leaves on others.

Changes in martial arts cultivation and the acquisition of some secrets can mostly be explained by great opportunities or sudden enlightenment.

It doesn't matter if he walks a bit slower now; the future of soaring high is already within reach.

Actually, sometimes thinking about it, Yan Zhaoge can't help but find it a bit amusing: "Zhao Hao is indeed a good person."

The achievements Yan Zhaoge has obtained now are naturally much higher than Zhao Hao's.

But compared to the almost reckless and fully exposed Zhao Hao, Yan Zhaoge looks more normal.

Of course, this is only relatively speaking.

In many people's eyes, Yan Zhaoge is also extremely arrogant and domineering.

But the original owner of the body was also such a personality, so the contrast is not so great.

Therefore, when Yan Zhaoge told Feng Yunsheng that he was low-key, he really felt that he was quite low-key.

For Feng Yunsheng's indifferent look, Yan Zhaoge felt very wronged...

With his show-off personality, he has already been very restrained!

Zhao Shicheng sighed, "The potential Hao is now showing, not to mention the eldest and the third, even the fourth cannot compare."

Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly. Besides the Crown Prince Zhao Yuan and the Third Prince Zhao Sheng, the Dongtang royal family also has a Fourth Prince Zhao Ming.

Just in terms of martial arts talent, excluding the sudden dark horse Zhao Hao, Zhao Ming is the best among Zhao Shicheng's sons and was also the most outstanding talent among the young generation of Dongtang.

Many years ago, Zhao Ming entered the Guangcheng Mountain to learn martial arts and became a formal disciple of Guangcheng Mountain.

Guangcheng Mountain dominates the Heavenly Domain, and most martial arts talents are under its control. The heroes of the Heavenly Domain also take pride in entering Guangcheng Mountain.

However, if Zhao Ming entered Guangcheng Mountain to learn, he would be isolated from the Dongtang throne unless there was a major unexpected event.

Dongtang is close to and subordinate to Guangcheng Mountain, but it does not mean that Dongtang will completely become a part of Guangcheng Mountain.

Whether it is better to cultivate martial arts in Guangcheng Mountain or to ascend the throne in Dongtang, this is a matter of personal opinion.

However, for Zhao Ming himself, he is devoted to martial arts and is more willing to learn in a holy place.

Although he entered Guangcheng Mountain, seemingly leaving Dongtang, Dongtang can still use him as a support, making the relationship between Dongtang and Guangcheng Mountain closer.

Zhao Shicheng, who has always been devoted to Guangcheng Mountain, naturally would not make a bet on both sides. Except for the Fourth Prince Zhao Ming, the other princes remain in Dongtang.

Another noteworthy point is that the second son of Prince Jing, Zhao Shili, entered the Dari Holy Sect.

The relationship between Zhao Shili and the Dari Holy Sect is therefore very close, making the influence of the Dari Holy Sect in Dongtang continuously penetrate.

Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Shicheng tacitly did not mention this. Yan Zhaoge slowly said, "I cannot determine the exact situation of Brother Hao, but according to my speculation, his changes are related to the former Holy Realm expert, the Fire Elixir Sword, Gao Zhe. Perhaps he inherited his legacy."

Saying it to this point is enough.

Zhao Shicheng nodded and pondered slightly, "Skilled in swordsmanship, skilled in alchemy, and vanished... Yes, it is indeed possible."

He looked at Yan Zhaoge, "If I remember correctly, there are rumors that the Fire Elixir Sword has a tense relationship with Guangcheng Mountain?"

Yan Zhaoge answered frankly, "I am not very clear about the details, but it is true."

"Moreover, I do not know if Gao Zhe left any messages, nor do I know what Zhao Hao inherited from Gao Zhe, which makes him seem hostile to our sect."

Zhao Shicheng sighed, "I have already heard this from my subordinates."

"Rest assured, I will handle and resolve it. If there is no progress, there will be other arrangements."

Regardless of the personal friendship between Zhao Shicheng and Yan Di, Zhao Shicheng would not let a son who is hostile to Guangcheng Mountain become his successor.

Intensive cultivation is definitely necessary, but the throne is not to be hoped for.

Yan Zhaoge bowed, "Uncle, you have your own plans. I dare not speak rashly. What I said today is already quite presumptuous."

Zhao Shicheng waved his hand, "No problem. Your father has a son like you, and there is someone to carry on the legacy. I envy him."

Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I also hope to have a deep friendship with all the princes, just like you and my father."

As a king, Zhao Shicheng might be a bit emotional.

But this uncle is absolutely loyal to his father and is also very caring towards Yan Zhaoge.

Zhao Shicheng and Yan Zhaoge's private conversation was naturally seen by Yan Xu.

His expression did not change, and he walked to the other side on his own.

A person followed behind Yan Xu, somewhat worried, "Yan Zhaoge actually defeated Xiao Sheng, who is at the late-stage External Gang realm, with a mid-stage External Gang realm."

"Thus, Lu Wen on the other side is probably..."

Yan Xu's steps paused slightly, and his expression darkened.

Lu Wen is the direct disciple of Yan Zhaoge's second master, Fang Zhun, and like Yan Zhaoge, he is one of the outstanding figures among the young generation of Guangcheng Mountain, a face-saving existence.

He is older than Yan Zhaoge, started practicing earlier, and is now 25 years old, the same age as Xiao Sheng.

The confrontation between Guangcheng Mountain and the Dari Holy Sect is deeply entangled.

Before the Long Town anomaly, it was always Yan Zhaoge against Chao Yuanlong, and Lu Wen against Xiao Sheng, both sides in a stalemate, each with their own strengths.

Currently, Lu Wen is in seclusion at Guangcheng Mountain. As a late-stage External Gang realm master, he is in seclusion to try to break through the bottleneck and reach the innate master realm.

In this regard, Lu Wen has taken the lead, slightly ahead of Xiao Sheng. If he can advance to the innate master realm first, he will be truly ahead of the game.

But no one expected that Yan Zhaoge's more powerful rise not only crushed the same-age Chao Yuanlong but also defeated Xiao Sheng, who is a higher level.

Even his own cultivation level is getting closer to Lu Wen.

Yan Xu fell silent for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, and he said indifferently, "It is still too early to say."
