Celestial Peak

Chapter 8: Arrival of the Second Young Master

After the unprecedented commotion in the Wang Family, Butler Sun was already ready to reprimand Wang Ling for acting as he did. However, he didn't think that he would be in for a huge surprise when he spoke to his Young Master.

"Cultivating is not really impossible for you. We also have bountiful resources in the manor and we don't have anyone other than the Second Young Master to give them to. However, the Second Young Master already left for the Sacred Beasts Academy and doesn't ask us for anything so there should be plenty for you"

(Second Young Master means Wang Ling's younger brother. First Young Master is Wang Ling, I'm just saying this to avoid confusion.)

"If that's the case then does that mean I can get resources now? Where can I get the resources? Are you going to hand them over to me yourself, Butler Sun? Also, if we have a treasury I wish to see it at least once, I have yet to visit every nook and cranny of the manor yet."

Wang Ling was ecstatic when he heard that there should be plenty of cultivation resources for him. Wang Ling was happy to hear such good news. Cultivation was treacherous and hard for many reasons, one of its reason being the difficulty of acquiring cultivation resources.

Cultivation was a hard and long path to improvement. Normally, one would need to meditate and slowly absorb spirit qi. However, some external forces and treasures greatly improve the cultivation of a person.

If a normal cultivator needs two years of cultivation time to break through into a new realm, then with the help of a particular pill or medicine the time will be greatly reduced to a certain extent. Two years can become two months or something along this line.

Overall, the point is, resources are very important. So why wouldn't Wang Ling be so ecstatic? If he can pair his cultivation experience with bountiful resources, then it won't be too farfetched for him to the breakthrough realm after realm within a short timeframe.

[If all goes well, I'll be able to reach [sky root]stage a month after I complete my qi pillars.

However, if I advance too fast I'll attract too much attention. But that's not really a problem, if I can become stronger as fast as possible, the sooner I'll be able to travel the world.

Hehe, even if I am found out and people start having malicious ideas towards me or my family, hehe, I'll pay them a visit at night and show them that taking me as an enemy is nothing short of experiencing hell.]

Wang Ling was not afraid of showing his prowess to others. Especially in this backwater kingdom. From what he could tell, the publicly known strongest expert of the kingdom is a [Nascent Soul] cultivator, but Wang Ling was ninety-percent sure that a hidden expert is behind this kingdom who's actin as its protector.

This hidden expert can be an old ancestor of the kingdom's royal family or a savage beast that has evolved into a spirit beast. Either way, Wang Ling was not scared of fighting these kinds of people in the slightest.

Besides, this happening where he'll be found was very unlikely unless he makes a move himself. However, from what he could tell, that won't happen anytime soon.

Butler Sun heard Wang Ling and had a downcast look on his face. He could tell that the Young Master was looking forward to cultivating. The bright smile on his face tells it all.

Butler Sun was aware of the cultivation world's harshness and cruelty. He had traveled the world in the past before being recruited by the Master (Wang Ling's Father) after he being defeated in a duel.

He reminisced about his past before looking at Wang Ling. The eyes Wang Ling possessed was burning, it showed how eager he was to start cultivating. He didn't know what kind of book he read in the library for him to become this willing but Butler Sun was sure that whatever he said to Wang Ling will end up being thrown to the side.

Sighing, he looked at Wang Ling before speaking.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that these resources are for those belonging to higher realm cultivators. We currently don't have any resources that are fitting to Young Master's current level of cultivation. The only thing left in the family treasury is a few high-level pills meant for higher-level cultivators. Please wait, for now, I will go to the Green Pavilion to buy some pills and medicinal plants."

Wang Ling's ears suddenly perked up. They'll buy his resources now? If he could pick the resources he wants himself then it would be even better. He had to consider his cultivation after all.

At the moment a certain cultivation manual entered his mind. This certain cultivation manual was a body tempering technique, and from his memory, Wang Ling remembered the certain body tempering technique as peerless.

Soon, more or less eight days from now. He will finally reach the second stage of cultivation, Earth Root Stage. The earth root stage was the perfect time to cultivate a body tempering technique so it would be best if Wang Ling could prepare for that.

"If we're going to buy the resources then I believe it will be best if I buy it myself. Butler Sun I will be needing some pocket money so can you give me some?"

Wang Ling announced. He didn't feel any embarrassment because the money came from his family anyway. Smiling, Wang Ling thought how good it was to have such a wealthy family as he does.

Butler Sun hesitated for a bit after hearing what Wang Ling before resigning to him and agreeing to this decision.

[This might be the perfect chance to let the Young Master go out and spend money himself.

Being cooped up in the manor is not good either so this will also serve as socializing.]

Acting like a mother on the inside, Butler Sun started considering the fact of Wang Ling wanting to go outside the manor. Although he was hesitating as it was rather dangerous, Butler Sun knew that keeping Wang Ling locked up is not good for him.

If Wang Ling grows up wait, he's already grown up so that phrase was unnecessary. If Wang Ling becomes oblivious to the workings of the outside world then that would be terrible.

"Alright, I will give you some money and have you buy the resources on your own. However, it is still dangerous outside so I will have two guards follow the Young Master to act as your bodyguard. I will get some money and call out two guards, you can wait for me at the front gate of the manor."

And so, Butler Sun agreed for Wang Ling to go out and buy the resources on his own. With a nod, he went to the family treasury to get some money.

Wang Ling and Wang Yue were left in the back garden together. They looked at each other. Wang Ling noticed Wang Yue's fidgeting and thought about something, so he asked.

"You want to come with me?"

"Yes!" Wang Yue celebrated by jumping up and down. Then, as if she remembered something, Wang Yue jolted up and turned to look at Wang Ling.

Hesitating a little, she asked.

"Can I go to my room for a little while?"

Wang Ling had no reason to stop her so he beckoned her to go. Wang Yue then dashed to her room.

Seeing this, Wang Ling shook his head before heading to the front gate so he can wait for the two. It didn't take long before he reached the front gate, and soon after he got there, Butler Sun returned, behind him were two guards with burly bodies and on his hand was a bag.

Butler Sun handed him the bag of coins and checked its contents. There were 100 pieces of platinum coins inside. Wang Ling was rather surprised that butler Sun managed to take this out so easily.

Platinum coins were more valuable than gold. 100 gold coins were equivalent to 1 platinum coin. Meaning, this 100 platinum coin of his was 10,000 gold coins in total.

"Alright, I will let you go out and buy the resources yourself. But please keep in mind to buy only the things you will need in cultivation. If you see any weapons ignore them, we can just go pick any weapon from the Master's personal collection if you want one.

"Also, these two will be your guard. Don't get separated from them, the city is not that dangerous but there are still thugs who wander around the city. These two are proficient in martial arts so they can protect you from harm without any problem."

Butler Sun reminded him of the important points of a society just like a mother. He treated Wang Ling as if he was going out to his first chore of buying a bag of rice outside.

"That's all I have to say, you may go now, Young Master."

"Let us wait for a little longer. Yue seemed to be interested in going outside so I asked her to come. She went to her room to get something so I'll wait for her here."

Wang Yue looked very excited about going out so he invited her. He didn't know what she wanted to do outside but that had nothing to do with him so he just let it be. Besides, he will know what she wants once they head out.

Butler Sun was surprised for a minute but said nothing and only smiled at him. He waited there with Wang Ling and after a minute the sounds of hurried footsteps was heard.

Wang Ling turned his head and saw Wang Yue running towards his direction. Soon enough, Wang Yue was already in front of Wang Ling.

"Sorry for being late Big Brother."

Wang Ling only nodded his head and with a smile, he looked at Butler Sun before turning around to leave.

The gate of the Wang family opened. Wang Ling stepped out and Wang Yue followed him shortly, she walked beside him and the two guards were both walking behind them silently. Butler Sun looked at the disappearing back of the two and before long, he was left at the front gate.

Turning around, he went back inside the manor and did what he ought to do write a letter to the master and the mistress about the undertaking of the Young Master.

When he was just about to enter the manor, a flash of light came from above. He looked up and saw a bird coming to his direction. The bird was clad with flames and on the back of this flame-clad bird was a young man with impeccable facial features.

The young man was truly handsome. With a pair of piercing eyes, eyebrows that point up the sky, a perfectly shaped nose, fair skin, the young man's look was perfect in many ways. Coupling his impeccable looks and the savage beast he was riding made the young man exuded heroic aura.

"It's the Second Young Master!"

Butler Sun smiled, he waited for the descend of the young man. He was delighted at the sight of the Second Young Master coming home riding on the back of his mount. The bird was a savage beast called [Blazing Falcon], and it was the mount of the one and only Second Young Master Wang Hong.

The Blazing Falcon soon descended from the skies. As if it was announcing its descent, the Blazing Falcon screech loudly. This single screech made many ordinary animals tremble to the point of pissing themselves.

The maids and servants of the Wang family were also jolted by the sudden screech of the Blazing Falcon. Many of them came out to see what was happening and the moment they saw the Second Young Master descending from the skies, they all cheered for his return.

"The Second Young Master has returned!"

"The pride of the Wang family has come back. Is the Second Young Master here for the First Young Master?"

The Blazing Falcon was five meters large so when it landed in front of Butler Sun, it created a small dust storm.

However, Butler Sun acted as like nothing was wrong and stood there unperturbed. The dust around him did not even touch his clothes much less his body.

Wang Hong got off his mount then smiled at Butler Sun.

"Where's my Older Brother and lovely Little Sister?"
