Chapter 757: Chapter 2: The Nobleman Unmatched in the World
...
The so-called egg of a Tier Seven Spiritual Bird, despite being extremely precious, was nothing special to Longzuo County’s renowned young noble, Wang Anye.
After all, once a Yuan Water Celestial Sparrow hatches, raising it to Tier Seven is extraordinarily difficult. The resources and time it requires are astronomical numbers.
Perhaps an ordinary Purple Mansion Family would treat it as a treasure, spending generations to cultivate a Tier Seven Celestial Sparrow Ancestor. But for the Wang Family, they don’t lack Celestial Prides, nor even Great Celestial Prides...
After a small interlude.
The Flying Chariot followed the Anjiang all the way to the East Sea Guard, took a brief rest, and then flew along the sea route until reaching the Hundred Islands Guard.
In theory, there is a shortest direct route from Xin’an Town to the Hundred Islands Guard. However, that route requires passing through the unexploited Outer Domain, making it too dangerous for a Flying Chariot to fly directly.
Upon arriving at the Hundred Islands Guard.
Wang Anye directly moved into a scenic small island, where there is a private seaside villa invested by the Wang Family, reserved for Wang Clan Members for relaxation and recuperation. The Seventh Young Master naturally received the best treatment upon arrival.
He did nothing else but idly feed the seabirds by the sea and then earnestly watched a sunrise.
The ocean was vast, and the sunrise was beautiful.
Sitting cross-legged on a broken stone, the young master, with his calm and unruffled heart, felt a slight stir, and after a brief epiphany, he gained some insight into Sword Intent. Unfortunately, his cultivation was still shallow, and he could only utilize a fraction of this comprehension of Sword Intent.
"Let’s call this stone the Sword Enlightenment Stone." Wang Anye drew his sword, and like a dragon, it etched several large characters crookedly on the broken stone, which he then admired with satisfaction.
The servant and the guards exclaimed in amazement from the side, "For someone so young, the young master has already grasped the rudiments of Sword Intent. In the future, he is sure to overpower his peers and become a blood-stained Celestial Pride."
"Alas~ what use is invincibility for just one person? As the heir to the family estate, there’s essentially no need for me to act." Wang Anye shook his head indifferently, "Besides, my great-grandfather said, it’s not hard for a person to be strong, what’s difficult is for a family to thrive and prosper from generation to generation."
"The young master is wise..." Compliments poured in like a tide.
Just as Wang Anye was about to leave, a small wave hit the shore, leaving behind a beautiful cascade of rain.
"Hmm?" Wang Anye spotted a large black mass on the shore, shimmering with five-colored hues under the sunlight, "Wang Yun, take the guards and fish it out for a look. If it’s trash, burn it, to avoid polluting the ocean."
"Yes, young master." Servant Wang Yun, leading the Household Generals, heaved and hoed until they retrieved the large floating object, which weighed several hundred pounds and was a dense black mass.
"Black as ink, iridescent in the light, this is the legendary multi-colored black." Wang Anye cut off a small piece, sniffed it, "It’s fishy and bitter, yet with a distant sandalwood aroma, this is likely the legendary Dragon Whale Saliva Fragrance."
"Young master, I’ve also seen descriptions of Dragon Whale Saliva Fragrance in readings. This is a top-grade perfume and can also be used to refine certain unique elixirs," servant Wang Yun remarked with some doubt, "However, Dragon Whale Saliva Fragrance usually weighs only ten or so pounds, yet this weighs several hundred. Could there be something unusual?"
"The ancient records kept by the Artifact Spirit mention that the Dragon Whale, a colossal sea creature, produces particularly precious Dragon Whale Saliva Fragrance in its stomach. A Tier Seven Dragon Whale usually produces several to ten pounds, a Tier Eight produces thirty to fifty pounds. Only a Tier Nine Dragon Whale King would produce a hundred pounds..."
"Then this several hundred pounds...could it be...?" Wang Xing and Wang Yun looked at each other in astonishment.
"That’s right, it should be the output of a Tier Ten Dragon Whale King." Wang Anye replied calmly, "This item is worth a bit of money; Great-grandfather will certainly be fond of it."
Worth a bit of money?
The two Spirit Platform Realm guards, and even the Celestial Human Realm guard watching secretly, almost stumbled over in shock. How can the difference in values be so vast?
However, to the Seventh Young Master, this was indeed the case.
No help for it, seeing as he was the crystallization of the direct lineages of the wealthy Qiaan and Wang families...
Yet, what impressed the guards even more was no matter where the Seventh Young Master went, he seemed to find valuable items. It was just that this time, luck was especially good, a bigger find...
"These Qian Gold, distribute them to the brothers and Elder Qian." Wang Anye casually took out a stack of Qian Gold Tickets.
"Thank you, young master, for your generosity." The guards then happily divided the spoils, the thickest portion, naturally going to Celestial Human Realm guard Elder Qian.
Working with the Seventh Young Master was delightful; not only was the annual stipend full, but there were also frequent hefty rewards. Most importantly, it was quite relaxing, as in Longzuo County, hardly anyone dared provoke the Seventh Young Master.
Furthermore, their prospects were better than those of other Spirit Platform Realm Household Generals; once their young master reached adulthood, they would gradually handle important family affairs. By then, these personal guards and servants would likely be given significant positions.
As such, the servants and guards attending Wang Anye’s side were all elite, meticulously chosen.
After tidying up the Dragon Whale Saliva Fragrance, Wang Anye, as planned, headed to the Northwest Guard Grassland to watch the sunset.
Soon, the Flying Chariot descended into the rugged and bold Northwest Guard. Unlike the waterway-crossed, agriculture and mulberry-focused Six Southern Guards, the vast territories of the Five Northwest Guards primarily relied on livestock farming and a minor degree of mining.
