Long Ao and Long Heng immediately began refining pills the moment they stepped into the Long Family.
Long Ao was very curious about the Long Family. He didn't know what kind of tricks they were playing.
Under normal circumstances, the Long Family should already know that he and Wang Hao had fought to a draw. If that was the case, why did the Long Family act as if nothing had happened when he and Long Heng entered?
It was also because of this that Long Ao had a new understanding of the Long Family.
Long Heng was very infatuated with alchemy. Especially with Long Ao's help, he was even more obsessed.
The next day, dusk.
"Long Ao, Master of the Dragon Sect in the Sky Province. In just a little over a year, you've risen to power and successfully counterattacked the four great forces, inflicting heavy losses on them. I'm very curious, why did Master Long come to the Cloud Island of the Outer Sea?"
Great hall of the Dragon Sect.
Long Ao hadn't said a word from beginning to end. This was because he realized that the Long Family Head in front of him wasn't simple at all. Before he knew it, the Long Family Head had already found out everything about him.
If they were in the Nine States or the Outer Sea, he wouldn't be surprised at all if Long Bai asked about him.
However, the problem now was that the Nine States and the Outer Sea were very far apart. It wasn't easy to get news in a short period of time.
Long Ao had a good impression of Long Bai, but it wasn't because Long Bai was Long Heng's father.
"Master Long, I can understand why you don't want to answer. However, I really want to know if you came to the Cloud Island for any reason."
"Long Family Head, you and I both belong to the Long Family, and I am also Long Heng's master. Therefore, we can speak frankly. I came to the Cloud Island by chance. If Long Heng hadn't saved me, I believe that I wouldn't even know about the Cloud Island."
Long Heng was naturally aware of this point.
"Master Long, the Sacred Mountain has been paying attention to your fight with Wang Hao. I believe that you also know about the Sacred Mountain's matters."
Long Bai didn't continue to dwell on Long Ao's identity or anything else. He knew very well what he should and shouldn't ask.
Sacred Mountain.
"Patriarch Long, Saint Mountain has nothing to do with me. I am just a passer-by to Cloud Island. If it wasn't for Long Heng, I might have already left. Therefore, I don't want to get involved in Saint Mountain."
Before Long Bai could say anything, Long Ao continued, "Patriarch Long, for Long Heng's sake, I would like to remind you to be careful of the Wang Family, especially Wang Hao."
Long Bai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
If someone else had said this to him, he would have scoffed. However, the person who had said this to him was Long Ao.
"Master Dragon, can you be more specific?"
Shaking his head, Long Ao did not intend to tell anyone that Wang Hao was a Rebirth Realm warrior. He was just a passer-by to the Cloud Island. Once he had imparted all his knowledge of alchemy to Long Heng, he would leave the Cloud Island and the Outer Sea to return to the Nine Continents.
Perhaps he would return to the Outer Sea in the future to explore the so-called Outer Sea, but not now. No matter what, he had to return to the Nine Continents. He still did not know what had happened to the Nine Continents since the beast tide had invaded.
"Patriarch Long, in everyone's eyes, Long Heng is just a piece of trash. Am I right?"
"Master Long."
Long Ao waved his hand. There was no need for Long Bai to say anything. He already knew what Long Bai was thinking.
When he looked at Long Bai, Long Ao already knew that the patriarch of the Long Family doted on Long Heng a lot. Otherwise, he would not have shown so much concern for Long Heng.
Long Ao was well aware of what Long Bai was thinking. Unfortunately, Long Bai's thoughts were pitiful.
"The reason why Long Heng's cultivation has stagnated is not because of his talent."
"I know that. Master Long, have you found the reason?"
Long Bai was overjoyed. Long Bai was no fool. He knew that Long Ao must have found something. Could his son really be able to turn the tables? If that was true, he would be willing to give up ten years of his life.
It was still the same saying: the pity of all parents.
Long Ao nodded. He did not want to tell the Long Family anything about Long Heng, but the moment he saw Long Bai, he changed his mind and said, "Patriarch Long, Long Heng is one in a million, and one of the rarest lightning constitutions in the world. When he was struck by lightning, he instantly awakened it. Not only is Long Heng not a piece of trash, he is also a cultivation genius."
As expected.
Long Bai let out a long sigh of relief and said, "For the past three years, I have never dared to face him. Fortunately, Heng 'er met you. Otherwise …"
Long Ao did not blame Long Bai because he already knew the ins and outs of the matter. Long Heng's cultivation had stagnated, and Long Bai had tried everything he could but to no avail. In the end, Long Bai had chosen to give up on his son.
Long Ao knew that although Long Bai seemed to have given up, it was actually because he could not face his son. In the end, Long Bai was not in the wrong. What was wrong was that fate made fools of people.
"Everything is in the past. If nothing unexpected happens, Long Heng's cultivation speed will greatly increase from now on. In less than a year, he will be able to break through to the Illusionary Divine Stage."
Long Bai's body trembled when he heard this. He knew what the Illusionary Divine Stage meant. If his family could produce an Illusionary Divine Stage cultivator, then even the Holy Mountain would have to be wary of his family, let alone the other two great families.
However, Long Bai still did not believe this. Even his master had not broken through to the Illusionary Divine Stage. Would he let his disciple break through to the Illusionary Divine Stage first?
Everyone knew that Long Ao was only a peak Great Venerable. He had not even reached the World King level, let alone the Illusionary Divine Stage.
Long Ao knew what Long Bai was thinking, but he did not try to explain himself. Sometimes, the truth trumped everything. There was no point in talking nonsense.
"Master Long, you can stay in the Long family during this time. I believe that the Wang family will not dare to cause trouble for you."
Long Ao did not stand on ceremony. He nodded, said a word of thanks, and left.
Long Bai was the only one left in the hall. It was quiet. Suddenly, an old man walked out from behind him. Long Bai immediately said respectfully, "Uncle, why have you come out?"
"He is Long Ao?"
"That's right."
Long Bai was very respectful towards his uncle. Besides being his biological uncle, he was also a powerful World Emperor and the number one expert in the family. It was because of his uncle that the Long family was able to become one of the three great families of the Cloud Island.
"This child is extraordinary. No matter what, we must build a good relationship with him. We must not offend him."
Long Bai was very surprised to hear his uncle's words. After all, he had never heard his uncle praise anyone like this before.
