C74 (2/2)
Long Fei wanted to explain, but his grandfather had already told Susu to stay, how could he kick her out? Besides, Susu wasn't the kind of person who had a long tongue, it didn't matter to her.
Long Qingyun did not care about their small feelings and asked Long Fei instead, ”Xiao Fei, have you heard of the Four Great Clans of the China?”
”Of course I know. Isn't it just Li, Tan, Zhong, and Xie?” Long Fei asked curiously. The Four Great Clans of the China were four of the top families. Anyone with a bit of information knew that Long Fei didn't know why his grandfather mentioned the Four Great Clans.
”That's right, it's Li Tan Zhong Xie, but do you know that the Four Great Families used to be the Five Great Clans? And the fifth clan was our Long Clan?”
”Five Great Families? Our Long Family?! ”
Long Fei opened his mouth wide, unable to close it.
In his impression, the four great families were all top existences in the China, elites of the upper class society. It would be ridiculous to say that just the wealth of one family could rival a kingdom, but if these four families were to be combined, they would definitely be considered as a nation whose wealth could rival a nation!
Including him, the Long family was a small family with a total of four people. Their financial situation was not even comparable to that of the others, and excluding Long Fei, who had once made a lot of money before, the Long family's income was only thirty to twenty thousand a year. After contracting the Medicinal Field for these two years, the family's income had increased to fifty to sixty thousand.
In terms of China, such a family could not be any more ordinary. How could they be on par with the Four Great Clans in China?
Looking at Long Fei's surprised expression, Long Qingyun laughed bitterly: ”You don't have to be surprised, at that time, although our Long Family's wealth was inferior to the other four great families, but because all of the previous sages of our generation had outstanding medical skills, and at least one person in every generation managed to train in the Life Continuing Divine Needle, no one was willing to offend us! ”Our Long family's status is actually the highest among the five great families.”
Long Fei did not doubt his father's words at all. It was said that the Life Continuing Divine Needle could kill humans and bones, and at that time, whoever could get on good terms with the Long family would have an extra life! Of course, those large clans would fight to be on good terms with the Long family.
”With our exceptional medical skills, although our Long family has a small population, we have still built a considerable foundation. Although we can't compare to the Four Great Families outside, we still have a large scale. It's the real Fifth Family! ” Long Qingyun continued.
”At that time, even many of the leaders of the Central Region would often visit our Long Family. They would be very polite when they see our Long Family. I remember when I was ten years old, my family gave me a birthday. Grandpa Long interrupted, his tone filled with sadness and desolation. He had been through thick and thin, but Wu Shan wasn't Yun!
”But why didn't our family end up like this?” Long Fei asked hurriedly. He faintly felt that the Long family's decline must have been followed by an earth-shattering conspiracy!
”All of this is because of the Qi Life Continuing Divine Needle. Ever since your great-grandfather's generation, our Long Family had actually been unable to practice the Long's Taiji to the Qi Accumulation realm! And if one's Long's Taiji could not reach the Qi Accumulation realm, they could not learn Life Continuing Divine Needle! Your great-grandfather didn't learn it all his life, and neither did your grandfather. Your father? ”Sigh!” Long Qingyun let out a heavy sigh. Of course, he had never learned Life Continuing Divine Needle before.
Long Fei suddenly understood why his grandfather and father had forced him to train in the Long's Taiji since he was young. Or perhaps, after all these years, they had always been hoping for him to reach the Qi Accumulation realm and cultivate his Life Continuing Divine Needle?
Long Fei's face revealed a trace of shame, and said: ”Grandfather, Father, I was useless. Until now, I still haven't succeeded in training Life Continuing Divine Needle.”
Grandfather Long waved his hand at Long Fei and said: ”Xiao Fei, you have not been able to cultivate to this day, so you really can't be blamed! To cultivate Long's Taiji to the Qi Accumulation realm, not only would one need comprehension, one would also need the guidance of a person who had truly reached the Qi Accumulation realm. This is not something that can be achieved by relying on just a cultivation mental cultivation method and a few words of hearsay from people like us who have yet to reach the Qi Accumulation Realm. Your father and I have been trying our best to fulfill our responsibilities to you all these years. The strict supervision we gave you was actually our fault. ”
After a while, he continued, ”Actually the main responsibility for the lost cultivation method in the Qi Accumulation realm lies with your great-grandfather and me. Back then, your great-grandfather had patiently taught us how to train our Qi, but your great-grandfather and I, because of our stupid nature, were never able to learn it! When your father became sensible, your father died with infinite regret, so there were no longer people who knew how to train Qi. Therefore, your father did not succeed in cultivating it. ”
