85: Chapter 85 Wang Er Ascends Cloud Peak
Li Daoxuan suddenly asked, "Butler Wang Er, do you want to Cultivate?"
Butler Wang Er asked in confusion, "Cultivate? Master, how is that possible?"
Li Daoxuan frowned and asked, "Just tell me whether you want to Cultivate or not. Don't say so much."
Butler Wang Er quickly said, "Master, I do. Who wouldn't want to Cultivate?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm taking you somewhere."
After saying this, he walked straight out of the secret chamber and headed outside of Cuiwei County.
Butler Wang Er quickly gave a few instructions and hurried to follow Li Daoxuan out of Cuiwei County.
Outside Cuiwei County, in an uninhabited valley, Li Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, with Butler Wang Er standing respectfully behind him.
Li Daoxuan asked, "Do you really want to Cultivate? The world of Cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak; it is very cruel. Are you sure you want to become a Cultivator?"
He had already asked this several times; he had to be absolutely certain before deciding whether to take Butler Wang Er to Cultivate.
Butler Wang Er nodded and said, "If this old servant can Cultivate, I can protect the Young Miss and the Young Master, and Master won't have to worry about them so much."
Li Daoxuan stared at him intently and asked, "Is it truly for the Young Miss and the Young Master?"
Butler Wang Er nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Master."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Very good. Then I will take you to Cultivate. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Butler Wang Er's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Master, are you saying? Are you saying? You will take me to Cultivate?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Go back now, arrange the matters in the manor, and then come here to find me."
Butler Wang Er nodded and ran quickly toward Cuiwei County, his heart filled with extreme excitement.
Although he didn't know why Master could Cultivate, Master hadn't left him behind and was going to bring him along.
Butler Wang Er was already over forty; with the talent of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he would definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment before the age of eighty, so there was no issue there.
Li Daoxuan waited outside for half an hour until Butler Wang Er came running over, panting heavily.
"Hoo... hoo... Mas, Master, I am here."
Li Daoxuan nodded slightly and said, "Since that is the case, let us go."
Before Butler Wang Er could react, he grabbed his shoulder and flew away, carrying him.
Butler Wang Er's eyes were wide open as he said in disbelief, "Mas, Master, are we flying?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "After a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, one can fly using a sword, and those in the Qi Refining Stage can also fly using a flying Magical Artifact."
"As long as one becomes a Cultivator, flying is not a difficult matter."
Butler Wang Er then realized belatedly, "So Master is a powerful Cultivator?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Do not speak of this matter, especially to the Young Master and Young Miss, understand?"
Butler Wang Er quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I know what to do."
Li Daoxuan did not speak. Yunding Peak was not far from Cuiwei County, and they soon arrived at Yunding Peak.
At the summit of Yunding Peak, Zhou Qing and the others were Cultivating, and Jiang Liyuan was busy with Alchemy. Only Bai Yushuang was sitting in front of the treasure vault, bored.
With her cultivation at this Realm, she could only Cultivate slowly. Once she reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining Peak, she could have a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This time would not be very long; it would take less than a year, and Bai Yushuang could afford to wait.
Seeing Li Daoxuan arrive, Bai Yushuang stood up instantly and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Boss."
Li Daoxuan waved his hand and asked, "Where are the others? Are they in seclusion to Cultivate?"
Bai Yushuang quickly said, "Yes, Boss, they are all in seclusion to Cultivate."
Li Daoxuan looked at Butler Wang Er and said to Bai Yushuang, "This will be your companion from now on. Since you are not in seclusion, I will leave the responsibility of his Cultivation to you."
Bai Yushuang asked with wide, surprised eyes, "Boss, are you saying?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Do not underestimate him. You can test his Spiritual Root later, and you will know."
Hearing this, Bai Yushuang couldn't help but glance at Butler Wang Er and finally nodded. Butler Wang Er had to be at least forty years old; wasn't it a bit late to start Cultivating now?
However, if this old fellow's Spiritual Root was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, that would be a different matter. Wait, a Heavenly Spiritual Root?
If it really was a Heavenly Spiritual Root and he was loyal to the Boss, wouldn't that mean this guy definitely had the potential for Foundation Establishment, and could even achieve it without a foundation establishment pill?
Thinking of this, Bai Yushuang felt a bit envious. After all, a Heavenly Spiritual Root could lead directly to Core Formation, and perhaps even a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The reason no one in the Three Northern Kingdoms had successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage was not because they lacked Heavenly Spiritual Roots, but because their Cultivation Techniques were too poor.
If there were powerful Cultivation Techniques, there should be many who could achieve the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.
Bai Yushuang looked deeply at Butler Wang Er, with no intention of looking down on him. Even if it wasn't a Heavenly Spiritual Root, even if it was just an Earthly Spiritual Root, so what? With the Boss's support, he would definitely have a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of eighty.
Butler Wang Er quickly said, "Greetings, Immortal Master."
Bai Yushuang quickly waved her hand and said, "No need for that. From now on, we are on the same side. You can just call me Old Bai. May I ask what your name is, brother?"
Butler Wang Er quickly said, "I am Butler Wang Er. Greetings, Brother Bai."
Although Bai Yushuang looked about the same age as him, Butler Wang Er knew that a Cultivator's age could not be determined by appearance.
Sometimes a very young-looking person might actually be over a hundred years old.
Bai Yushuang smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go. I will teach you how to Cultivate."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Butler Wang Er will follow you to Cultivate. I am going back to my Immortal Cave to Cultivate."
After saying this, Li Daoxuan left immediately.
At this moment, Bai Yushuang asked, "I wonder what relationship you have with the Boss, Brother Wang Er?"
Butler Wang Er quickly said, "Hehe, there is no special relationship. I am just the Master's butler, a worldly butler."
Bai Yushuang couldn't help but gasp and asked, "Since you are the Boss's butler, do you know the Boss's exact age?"
Butler Wang Er hesitated for a moment and said, "I know. The Boss is a few years younger than me; he is in his thirties now."
Bai Yushuang couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, in that case, isn't the Boss a Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse in his thirties?"
Butler Wang Er looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was making such a fuss.
Bai Yushuang shook her head and said, "Brother Wang Er, you don't know how difficult it is to have a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even Disciples from several major Cultivation Schools might not be able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage in their thirties."
"Yet the Boss was able to do it, which shows how incredibly talented the Boss is."
Butler Wang Er finally understood why Bai Yushuang said that and nodded in deep agreement, "Yes, having lived with the Master for so many years, I didn't know the Master was such a powerful person."
"If the Master hadn't mentioned taking me to Cultivate this time, I would still think the Master was traveling the world."
"It's just that I don't understand why the Master doesn't want the Young Master and Young Miss to know that he is a Cultivator."
Bai Yushuang asked with wide eyes, "Young Master and Young Miss?"
Butler Wang Er said matter-of-factly, "Yes, the Master himself is from the Cuiwei Li Family, and the Young Master and Young Miss are both Cultivating at Cuiwei Mountain."
"This time, the Young Master and Young Miss returned and spent a long time with the Master."
Bai Yushuang finally understood. It seemed that no one else knew the Boss was a Cultivator. And since the Boss had not been discovered by the Li Family to have a Spiritual Root, it meant the Boss had some special Physique.
Only this explanation could prove why the Boss didn't want the Li Family to know. After all, Cultivating without a Spiritual Root clearly meant one was a Spirit Body, and other Cultivation Families or Schools would definitely move to eliminate him immediately.
Thinking of this, Bai Yushuang quickly said, "This matter is known only to you and me; it cannot be told to anyone else. You must keep your mouth shut, understand?"
