Chapter 27: Long Yan’s Enlightenment
As everyone cheered, Long Chen turned to Long Yan, took out a healing pill, and handed it to him.
"Take this," he said calmly.
Long Yan was momentarily confused, but trusting that the patriarch meant no harm, he took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it.
Almost immediately, a warm sensation spread through his lower abdomen. The medicinal power transformed into streams of energy, flowing through his body and greatly relieving his weakness.
Feeling this miraculous effect, Long Yan quickly bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your generosity!"
Long Chen nodded, then retrieved a copy of the Chaos Art and the Heavenly Body Refining Technique, handing them to Long Yan.
"I've heard about you from your grandfather. But remember this—our Long family has never had a genius who stayed fallen. If you train diligently with these techniques, you will rise again."
Long Yan listened with a faint, helpless smile.
He knew his condition better than anyone. Unless a miracle happened, his path of cultivation was over. He was resigned to living the rest of his life as an ordinary man.
Still, not wanting to waste the patriarch's kindness, he accepted the manuals respectfully.
