Chapter 82: Long Mansion, Long Daosheng

Qin Jiang nodded slightly; in troubled times, to still have such a prosperous environment, it could indeed be called Ning'an.

It stood to reason that the strength of Ning'an County could also rank among the top in the various counties of Yuan Prefecture.

The two moved along the street, leading their horses, looking travel-worn, which was somewhat out of place with the environment here.

On the road, Long Yuesheng pointed to certain places from time to time to introduce them.

Not long after, the two arrived in front of a simple, heavy, and massive mansion.

This mansion occupied almost an entire block, and the nearly five-meter-high gray courtyard walls appeared very weathered; in many places, the stone skin had already peeled off, and it had at least several hundred years of history.

"The Eldest Young Master is back! Quickly go tell the Family Head!"

Before the two could walk close, the guard captain at the gate shouted loudly, and then walked over quickly to welcome them.

"Eldest Young Master, you are back!"

The guard captain walked over and naturally took the horses, including Qin Jiang's.

"Mm, I went out to gain some experience, and now I have been transferred back," Long Yuesheng said.

"Haha, I presume the Eldest Young Master has gained a lot on this trip!" the guard captain laughed.

Qin Jiang looked at him and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised; this was actually an expert in the Divine Intent realm, and sensing his aura, it was not weaker than Kong Hai!

Truly a high-ranking family, worthy of being one of the three great prominent families of the County City; even a guard captain was such an expert.

Long Yuesheng smiled upon hearing this, then raised his hand toward Qin Jiang, "This is my Brother Qin; in the future, if he comes over, there is no need to report."

The guard captain looked at Qin Jiang with surprise upon hearing this; he had initially seen Qin Jiang was so young and thought he was a subordinate cultivated by his own young master, but he didn't expect him to be the young master's brother.

His own young master was nearly forty; although called Young Master, in reality, he was no longer the young generation, and even toward some young people in the great clans of the County City, he rarely lowered his status to associate with them.

What ability did this Young Master Qin have to actually make the Eldest Young Master look at him differently? The three arrived at the gate, and the guard captain handed the horses to the guards to take away and feed.

"Eldest Young Master, I have already sent someone to report to the Family Head; after you tidy up, don't forget to go over," he said.

As soon as the words fell, a burst of footsteps came from inside the mansion; although not hurried, the sound indicated they were approaching at high speed.

"Haha! Little Brother Qin, you have finally come! You have made me wait so long!"

Before the person arrived, a hearty and loud voice came out first, and immediately after, the figure of Long Ye appeared at the courtyard gate.

The guard captain's pupils shrank upon seeing the person, "Greetings, Third Master!"

Long Ye looked at him and waved his hand, "How many times have I said it, we are all family, no need for this."

"Senior Long," Qin Jiang bowed slightly.

Long Ye directly pulled Qin Jiang's arm, "Why be so polite! You and Yuesheng are brothers, just call me Third Uncle! Let's go! Big Brother is waiting for you! He has been muttering about you for several days!"

Having said that, he directly pulled Qin Jiang into the mansion, not even looking at Long Yuesheng, treating him as if he were air.

After the two walked into the mansion, Long Yuesheng stood where he was, took a deep breath, and silently followed.

The guard captain was stunned on the spot; what was the situation? What exactly was the identity of this Young Master Qin? To actually make the Third Master come to welcome him personally!

Could it be a scion of a noble family from the Prefecture City? His eyeballs rolled around, and he walked quickly into the mansion; those two precious horses just now couldn't be fed casually, he had to do it himself! Inside the mansion, Qin Jiang and Long Ye passed through several courtyards, and from time to time, people cast their gazes; among them, several gazes were not weaker than his, and they were undoubtedly Secret Martial Artists.

Not long after, the two arrived at a small hill.

Qin Jiang looked over; the small hill was not big, only a hundred meters high, and smoke was vaguely rising from the mountainside.

However, even so, it made him somewhat surprised; the location of the Long Mansion was the core area of the County City, and the land here, even if not worth its weight in gold, was definitely not much worse.

To enclose a small hill within the mansion here was truly extravagant.

"Let's go, Big Brother is already waiting." The two walked up the mountain on foot, and after a short while, they arrived at the mountainside; in an open space, there was a small wooden fenced courtyard, and a wooden house was situated within it.

At this time, a figure wearing gray cloth clothes with somewhat graying hair was squatting in the courtyard cooking, adding firewood to the stove from time to time.

"This is my Big Brother, Long Daosheng; he is currently comprehending the heavens and earth, attempting to take that step. If he succeeds, he will have the qualifications to impact beyond Secret Martial Arts," Long Ye said.

His Big Brother was the Great Elder of the Copper Bell Sect, with a status second only to the Sect Leader; he had already achieved perfection in Secret Martial Arts decades ago, and if it weren't for being restricted by martial arts, he would have long been able to impact that realm beyond Secret Martial Arts.

Qin Jiang's eyes brightened slightly; beyond Secret Martial Arts? The power of a Secret Martial Artist that could almost affect the celestial phenomena was actually not the end of the Martial Dao? Going a step further, how was it different from the legendary immortals and gods? A burning feeling surged into his heart; he was already somewhat impatient.

Obtain Secret Martial Arts, then surpass them! Climb step by step! "Big Brother! I've brought the person!" Long Ye shouted toward the courtyard.

Long Daosheng, who was burning the fire, turned his head to look at the two, waving his hand with a bit of joy, "Hurry and come in! The food is ready!"

Qin Jiang and Long Ye walked into the courtyard and sat down at a wooden table; several dishes had already been placed on the table, their colors clear and bright, and they smelled extremely fresh and fragrant! Long Daosheng set out the bowls and served the cooked porridge, "Third Brother, where is Shen'er?"

Long Ye was stunned, raising his head blankly, "Hiss~ uh... soon, he said his stomach was uncomfortable, he will come in a moment."

Tsk, I was so focused on Qin Jiang, how could I forget Yuesheng?

Long Daosheng nodded, "Then we won't wait for him, let's eat first."

Saying this, he looked at Qin Jiang, "Don't be restrained, just treat it like your own home, hurry and try how my cooking is."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a slice of unknown meat.

Taking a bite, the meat juice burst in his mouth, carrying a slight burning sensation, and a hot current surged toward all parts of his body.

His eyes widened slightly; he could clearly feel his physical body actually slowly expelling impurities! This was simply absurd!

One had to know, he had not reached an unprecedented level in the True Martial Artist realm, but at least there were definitely no shortcomings.

And now, it was just a slice of meat, and it could actually make him feel so clearly that his physical body was becoming stronger!

"How does it feel? This is the tiger whip of a top-tier Great Demon-level Howling Gold Tiger! Stir-fried with various precious medicines, although it's a bit wasteful, it can better stimulate the effect of the tiger whip. How about it? Later, do you want to go to the Fengyi Pavilion to look around? I'll have Yuesheng arrange a few top stars for you!" Long Ye laughed.

Long Daosheng raised his hand and knocked on his head, "Only know how to visit brothels, all day long not knowing how to cultivate properly!"

Long Ye picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip indifferently, "What's the use of cultivation? There have been no spots in the last few years."

"Only know how to talk back, don't eat!" Long Daosheng said fiercely; just looking at this moment, he was no different from an old man in an ordinary family.

Long Ye curled his lips, "If I don't eat, I don't eat, who cares, I'll go back and make it myself."

Long Daosheng snorted and ignored him, looking at Qin Jiang; at this time, Qin Jiang had already digested the power of the meat slice, which made Long Daosheng somewhat surprised.

This was an ingredient he had obtained after killing a top-tier Great Demon comparable to a twelfth-stage Secret Martial Artist.

An ordinary True Martial Artist eating a slice, let alone refining it, would be considered impressive if they could withstand that burning sensation without changing their expression!

He somewhat believed what Long Ye said; perhaps this child could really kill a Weird Eye with the body of a True Martial Artist.

Looking at Long Ye, "Go call Little Six over."

"Old Six? What's wrong with Old Six?"

Long Yuesheng ran up the mountain, rushed directly into the courtyard, his gaze fell on the table and he couldn't help but brighten, picking up a slice of tiger whip and sending it into his mouth.

"Yo! This big tiger whip! Let me try! Damn! So hot!"
