Celestial Peak [I]

118. The pair who takes advantage of everything IV

"First Young Master, why do you wish to go to the Frost Death Forest?" Qigang suddenly asked as their mounts galloped their way to the Frost Death Forest.

"I want spirit beasts at the Minor Saint Stage that will help me in my cultivation. If you're wondering why it is connected to my bloodline." Wang Ling knew that his bloodline was a mysterious thing and using it as an alibi for most things worked 100 percent of the time.

It was 100 percent because he had yet to meet someone who doubted his alibi. Thinking about it now, Wang Ling had to think twice about the people he associated with. Are they stupid for believing him or is he just that trustworthy?

Upon hearing Wang Ling's words, Qigang panicked a little as he tried to persuade Wang Ling out of the idea, "First Young Master, you will die if you try and fight a Minor Saint Stage beast. I know you're abnormally strong for someone your age but please reconsider."

Wang Ling rubbed his glabella and felt a headache coming for him.

[It seems like I'm being treated like an idiot.] He said inside his head as he looked at Qigang's earnestness. Those eyes made Wang Ling feel like he was truly being treated like an idiot. It made him want to bang his head on a wall for some reason.

"I won't be hunting for spirit beasts that strong. I brought you here for the exact reason of you helping me hunt spirit beasts. To be specific, you hunt while I watch from afar. If you were to hunt those Minor Saint spirit beasts, it would be as easy as catching a pet. Oh, don't kill them, I need them alive."

Wang Ling explained himself and Qigang finally understood his motives. Qigang was already a Grand Saint. It would be easy for him to catch what Wang Ling needed to raise his cultivation by leaps and bounds.

Bai Xue who was supposed to be sleeping was salivating already.

They traveled in a nice and leisure manner. They didn't meet any stupid beasts and bandits who wanted to take their lives. Qigang was such a good repellant for enemies that Wang Ling was considering if he should bring him along more often.

The Frost Death Forest was a long way from the Red Peak Mountain they were in earlier. Because that was the case, the travel time took a day and a half even though they were already riding in Saint Spirit Beasts.

Wang Ling and the rest didn't approach the Frost Death Forest nearer than a 300-kilometres away. They landed on top of a mountain peak with lush greeneries and some snow scattered about.

Landing on top of the mountain peak, Wang Ling took a deep breath and said, "I will leave it up to you then. Remember, I only need Minor Saint spirit beasts, you should take the Whirlwind Lion with you if you like. Make sure to keep alive when you bring it here."

Upon hearing his instructions, Qigang left in a haste but didn't take anyone with him. He moved like a shadow and disappeared from sight. Wang Ling looked at him disappear and found a good place to sit and meditate at.

After doing so, he heard the Whirlwind Lion speak, "Will it be fine if I leave for some time? I want to move and hunt for some spirit beasts as well. I shall bring a Minor Saint for you after I return."

Wang Ling motioned that he could leave and the Whirlwind Lion did just that and with a wide smile plastered on its face, it began its hunt. Although it was just a mount in his eyes, the Whirlwind Lion was still an intellectual being.

It was not that weird for it to ask permission to do something else. Besides, it wouldn't be worried about Wang Ling's safety, after all, the [Phantom Horse] was still with him. It was still a spirit beast at True Saint stage so it provided a good amount of assurance.
