The Rich Cultivator
Chapter 52. Ten years ago

Chapter 52: 52. Ten years ago

Tyler is studying some of the most expensive books he bought from this secret realm in his room.

’Tips on How to make Teleportation Formation success’

’Basics of Teleportation Formation’

’How to make Teleportation Formation as Intermediate Formation Master’

He became more interested in these teleportation formations.

"What was that spell you used at the end? Junior brother?" Priscilla asked.

"Huh? How did you know?" Tyler placed the book and looked at Priscilla.

Priscilla showed her token. It is a visitor token. With this she can spectate any competition live. Tyler’s token also has that function. He just noticed that.

"My Spell name is Ice needles. It’s a mental attack that can stun the enemies for a few seconds." Tyler said. Few seconds is not a small matter. It can overturn the whole outcome of the battle. Anything can happen to the enemies when they get stunned for a few seconds.

Tyler’s eyes brightened and said, "Can we go and spectate the Formation Competition?"

’It’s boooring’, Priscilla wanted to say. But Since Tyler is showing interest in those she decided to tag along.

Both Tyler and Priscilla returned after a while.

She dragged Tyler along with Lan Couples for shopping.

"I heard that the losers of the first session might have a chance to come back in the final session. They were thrown into the forest full of beasts. The group that survives it has a chance to get back in the game." Lan Yi said.

"Which means we might see those three again." Lan Xuero said.

"Ah... You mean that boy who excluded the righteous aura." Priscilla said. She saw how that team got toyed by Tyler. It was fun to watch.

"If I remember correctly his name is Ling Tian. And I forgot the girl with the pink hair-clip name." Tyler said.

"You know them?" Priscilla asked.

Tyler nodded. He began to tell them how he met them before.

CheckMate

Ling Tian is trying to meditate but that voice is still lingering in his head. He is now in a cave with his teammates.

Yumina Noticed him and laughed, "are you still sulking about your loss?"

Yumina found it so cute. Boys always act tough, but deep down they are still children. Yumina laughed at him.

"Do you still remember Tyler White? He really became a Cultivator." Ling Tian said. He almost forgot about him but didn’t expect to meet him here.

10 years ago.

It was even before Tyler started Cultivating.

A village in the country Si. G ma. ( ᕦ⁠(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)⁠ᕤ) *cough* Sigma Country.

Some kids around 10 to 12 are playing hide and seek in the forest.

"Yumina, you will be the seeker." A boy said.

"Why me?" The 10 year old Yumina pouted.

"Because you are the worst seeker. You can’t even find your dad until now." The kid laughed at his joke. Every kid looked at him with a deadpan expression.

"Haha ha ha... Ha?" That kid stopped laughing awkwardly.

Soon he was selected as a seeker. He closed his eyes and started to count.

Meanwhile the kids left that side of the forest and went in another direction. They decided to let that cheeky kid play by himself.

Yumina is still in tears because of his words.

"We can’t stop her crying. Any other ways?" said one kid.

"We can only summon him." replied another kid.

Yumina suddenly stopped crying. She glared angrily at her friends who gave her a back teasing look. Everyone knows Yumina is closer to one boy, Ling Tian.

Ling Tian was a mysterious boy in the village. 8 years ago he was found in the middle of the forest by an elderly man. According to him, Ling Tian was guarded by two powerful beasts that the elderly man had never seen before. The beasts quickly disappeared when they saw him leaving behind the baby.

Even though he is a kid of their same age. He is faster than them, stronger than them and also has lots of stamina. He is straightforward and always cares about friends. The only one he is afraid of is Yumina. Other than his grandfather who adopted him, Yumina is the only person in the village that Ling Tian listens to.

They started playing hide and seek again. Yumina always likes to hide near the waterfall. She has never been caught by them except Ling Tian.

The kids looked at the sky and realised that it was almost dawn. The kids couldn’t find Yumina even when the sky was about to dark. They searched for her while shouting her name.

Ling Tian who just returned from the nearby village saw the villagers searching for Yumina. He dropped everything he was carrying and ran towards the waterfall. Only Ling Tian knows how much Yumina loves water. Either it’s a lake or river. She loves it so much.

"Yumina" Ling Tian reached the waterfall. He saw a middle-aged man pinning down the little Yumina, touching her stomach and kissing.

"Get Lost pervert!!!" Ling Tian dashed forward towards that man. The man easily dodged it and used his other hand to slightly knock down the little boy.

Ling Tian lost consciousness. When he woke up he saw the Little Yumina. She is fully wet and she is stroking his head while crying.

"Where is the pervert?" Ling Tian asked. He got a smack from Yumina.

"Don’t call him that. His name is Mr.Tyler White. He saved my life when I was drowning. If it was not for his help, I would have died." Yumina said.

Ling Tian was dumbfounded because Yumina was blushing while talking about him.

"Hehe... Looks like I accidentally gave my first kiss." Yumina noticed Ling Tian is jealous so decided to tease him. Ling Tian blushed when he heard the word ’kiss’

"T-that’s not a kiss. " Ling Tian hurriedly said.

"He was so handsome. When I grow up I will marry him." Yumina blurted out

"He seems too old. He might already be a Grandpa when you grow old" Ling Tian said.

Tyler, who is not far away from them, almost stumbled. Is this how Kids these days have conversations?

Generation Gap? Tyler sighed. He is already in his 30s... If he was properly married in his 20s he would already have Kids at this age. He lost his youth in pursuit of cultivation.

Tyler decided to show up before the kids. Like Hen protecting the chick, Little Tian protected Little Yumina when Tyler showed up.

Little Yumina smacked his head and bowed towards Tyler then smiled, "Thank you for saving me."

Tyler sighed and looked at them. They have no idea what is about to happen to their village because of him.

With Yumina’s help Tyler was able to stay in the village easily. Yumina lost her mom when she was young and her father left her to start a new life. She was taken care of by her old grandfather.

Tyler researched the old temple in the village. He was trying to find something. Tyler didn’t talk with those Kids that much. After a week of staying, officials of the country visited their village and ordered them to evacuate the village.

There is an old castle beneath the village which was discovered by Tyler. After the minister hired him for the job.

Yumina and Ling Tian were at a loss. Especially Yumina, because she is the reason Tyler was able to stay in the village easily. Before that the Villagers didn’t welcome him that much.

The villagers lost their home and land. They couldn’t go against the law. Ling Tian and Yumina decided to confront Tyler, "You deceived us."

"I am just doing my job." Tyler simply replied. He also feels a little guilty about the village. But even if he didn’t do anything, someone will do it. It is inevitable.

Tyler doesn’t know what to say, but he decided to teach them a life lesson.

He grinned and said, "The biggest culprit is not the person who deceives, it’s the person who gets deceived."

Tyler then took two tokens from his pocket and threw it to them. They caught it reflexively.

"Do you kids know what Cultivators are?" Tyler asked.

"Cultivators? Like Cultivating Land?" Yumina asked.

"Nope. Cultivating Qi. Immortals, Handsomely flying in the sky on the sword." Tyler smiled when he saw the kids’ eyes brighten.

"They had eyes on this village. So it is inevitable." Tyler said.

"Nowadays Cultivators disappeared into thin air. This is one of the gifts I got from the minister. According to him, the people from Cultivation world might contact you if you hold this. Take this as an apology." Tyler waved his hand and left.

He really didn’t regret giving them away until he found the copper pot. It took a lot of effort to find the Cultivators later.

"What about you?" Yumina asked.

"I always wanted to cultivate. But I don’t have any talent to cultivate. If there is a chance for me to cultivate, I will definitely grasp it." Tyler said as he left.

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

"He really grasped his chance." Ling Tian mumbled. It’s been ten years. It is because of Tyler they were able to enter this wonderful life. But Ling Tian really doesn’t like Tyler that much. He is more irritated after getting deceived by him again.

"I nearly forgot about those kids. Looks like they are geniuses." Tyler said while Priscilla and Lan Couples listened.

Fate is really a wonderful thing. Tyler and Ling Tian don’t know that they both stepped into the path of cultivation in same day. They both reached the first stage of Qi Refining Realm on the same day.
