"Third elder, order people to prepare a banquet immediately to welcome the benefactor, Master Gu, and Young Master Long." As he spoke, Long Yuting led everyone into the gate and instructed an old man.
"I have already arranged it when I saw the benefactor just now. I guess it has already started. Let's go directly to the dining room and we can have dinner in a moment." The third elder of the Long family said with a smile.
Dinner! Hearing these two words, Murong Yi's face not only turned green, but also her eyes began to glow green.
She missed the cooking skills of the famous chef of the Long family very much.
Gu Qingxi looked at her thoughtfully: No wonder Murong Yi didn't travel around like before after arriving in Tiancang Continent, but stayed in the Long family all the time. It turned out to be this reason.
The people of the Long family are really too knowledgeable and interesting. Before Murong Yi even entered the door, they had already started to arrange a welcoming banquet for her.
With Murong Yi's foodie nature, it would be strange if she was willing to leave.
"Master Long, where are the young people of the Long family? Why are there so few?" After arriving at the dining room, Murong Yi looked around and asked curiously.
Although the Long family has been in decline for many years, it has always been prosperous. In the past, the dining room was always full at mealtime.
Today, they were welcoming them, so it should have been more lively, but the hall was much quieter, and nearly one-third of the tables and chairs were empty.
After a closer look, the elders of the Long family were quite complete, but most of the young people were absent, even Long Jingyu was not there.
"They... are preparing for the inheritance ceremony, so I didn't let them come." Long Yuting hesitated for a moment, and finally said frankly.
"Inheritance ceremony?" Murong Yi was a little confused.
"My benefactor may not know that our Long family has been passed down to this day, and it has actually been more than ten thousand years. When it was at its strongest, it was ranked among the four major magic cultivation families." Long Yuting said.
Hearing his words, Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi were all very surprised.
They had heard from Long Jingyu that the Long family had a long history and had been quite powerful in the past, but they had never thought that the Long family had such a long history and such "good" strength.
"Then how did the Long family become what it is today?" Murong Yi asked in confusion.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. As one of the four great magic cultivation families, how could the Long family not have any foundation? Even if it was declining, it would not be bullied by the Tang family like this, right?
You have to know that the Tang family members who were beaten half to death by her just now, the highest cultivation level was only the late Nascent Soul stage, and most of the others were at the Golden Core stage, and some were not even at the Golden Core stage.
"This is related to the inheritance ceremony I mentioned." Long Yuting smiled bitterly and explained, "Our Long family has an ancestral secret skill, which is said to be powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
It is thanks to this secret skill that our Long family has become one of the four great magic cultivation families. But more than a thousand years ago, the seventh head of the Long family died unexpectedly, and this secret skill was lost. As a result, our Long family has never recovered and has gradually declined to what it is today.
Originally, the ancestors who founded the Long family had already prepared for this and left behind a heritage hall. Even if there was no head of the family to teach it in person, the secret skill could continue to be passed on.
But just when the seventh head of the family died unexpectedly, the elder in charge of the inheritance hall also went into a trance and died. So over the years, the inheritance hall has been tightly sealed by a forbidden formation, and no one can learn that secret skill anymore."
So that's how it is. Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi suddenly realized.
The situation like the Long family is not uncommon in the world of cultivation. Many families and sects have risen strongly because of a unique skill, but they were beaten back to their original form because of an accidental loss of the unique skill. It is even common for them to fall apart because they have offended too many people.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall, which is what this kind of family and sect are talking about.
The Long family was once among the four major magic cultivation families. It is actually very rare that they can stand for a thousand years after the loss of their ancestral unique skills.
I don’t know how much effort the descendants of the Long family have spent and how many twists and turns they have experienced to support it to this day. Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Neither of them noticed that Long Qianli was looking deeply at Long Yuting, with a rare excitement in his eyes, and his hands under the table trembled slightly.
