Chapter 75 Huo Long's Reaction

Huo Long's Reaction

It didn't take long for Huo Long to read the letters as even though he had his Dantian shattered, he still had his brain vein pathed out, which boosted his comprehension and, in turn, his reading speed.

But though he could read it fast, after seeing who the sender was, Huo Long still read it slowly so as not to miss a word.

Seeing it come from a friend of his, Huo Long, who had been abandoned by the rest of his friends already, thought it was going to be another similar letter. However, as he started to read it, Huo Long realized it wasn't what he thought it was.

Finally reaching the end, Huo Long was somewhat ashamed of himself. He thought that Xue Bai would cruelly throw him away after he had lost his value. But after reading the letter, it seemed to be the opposite.

Not only did Xue Bai not give up on him, but he even encouraged him to continue on his own path and fix his situation.

But Huo Long was confused about the pill part. So calling back his father, Huo Long asked if anything came along with the letter.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Here, this spatial ring came with the letter." Huo Ming answered after he heard Huo Long's question.

But even though Huo Ming said he forgot, Huo Long saw that he was most likely going to keep that spatial ring if he didn't point it out.

So with an impolite shove, Huo Long got his greedy father out of his courtyard again before looking into the spatial ring, where inside, he found what he was looking for.

"Master, what does this pill do?" Huo Long asked as he pulled it out for Feng Huang to inspect.

With her deep knowledge of alchemy, it only took Feng Huang a glance to see and identify the pill.

"It's a Qi Absorbing Pill. It's for people in your situation who had their Dantians shattered and have excess Spiritual Qi flowing out through their bodies. It takes all of the Spiritual Qi in your body and absorbs it into your vitality, greatly increasing your lifespan. That Xue Bai kid wasn't lying about the letter." Feng Huang explained.

Hearing Feng Huang's words, Huo Long felt even more conflicted in his heart. Even now, he had no idea why Xue Bai was so adamant about making friends with him. At first, he had thought that Xue Bai was friendly to everyone, but after hearing Yan Fengxian brand Xue Bai as a narcissist and horrible person, Huo Long didn't know what to think anymore.

"Master, I told you about Brother Bai before. What do you think about him?" Huo Long asked.

After a few minutes of thinking, Huo Long still couldn't come to a stable answer and decided to ask his all-knowing Master instead of thinking further.

"I remember you had told me about him, and though I don't know much, I have a few guesses. One, he tries to befriend every potential prodigy in The Great Xuan Empire. Two, he got lucky with you. Or three, he knows a divinator who managed to divine a glimpse of your future." Feng Huang replied after a moment of thinking.

"Divinators are so powerful?" Huo Long asked with some shock.

He knew some stories about divinators, but since most of the ones in the Baishen Plane were either scammers or only strong enough to divine mortals., Huo Long didn't give them any respect.

"There are strong divinators everywhere, even in this tiny mortal plane. But at the end of the day, most of them are just old fossils who try to peek into the future out of enjoyment." Feng Huang spoke with a disdain-filled tone.

Feng Huang seemed to have bad encounters with divinators in her cultivation journey. Huo Long, sensing that, also didn't dare to bring them up again.

"Master, do you think that Brother Bai can make it to the peak of cultivation as he said in the letter?" Huo Long couldn't help but ask.

"Sigh~ Xiao Long, you have to know, the peak of cultivation is something that even my Senior Brother, the greatest prodigy to ever exist in the Immortal World, a child of destiny, couldn't even reach. So your friend most likely meant the peak of this mortal world. Your friend did awaken a High Black Grade Martial Vein, which is very talented for this mortal plane. But the peak of cultivation is something completely different. After all, just ascending to the Immortal World is already heaven-defying enough for someone born in this desolate land." Feng Huang spoke as she sighed.

It seemed that Feng Huang couldn't hold back her sadness after mentioning her deceased Senior Brother.

On the other hand, Huo Long got somewhat jealous. His Master seemed to worship this 'Senior Brother' of hers to the point of fanaticism. And every time he made a mistake, he would be compared to the mysterious man.

"Master, what happened to your Senior Brother? You never told me." Huo Long asked.

"Sigh~ I wish I knew as well. My Senior Brother, my Junior Brother, and I were all in the Late Realms of the God Great Realm until one day, my Senior Brother came to the both of us and spoke something weird. In his words, he was going to, 'Break the Illusion.' But after he left the sect, he never came back. And since my Senior Brother was the Sect's guardian and the strongest protector, we tried to keep the news from leaking for as long as possible. But eventually, other sects noticed his disappearance. And after a long war, our sect fell." Feng Huang spoke in a saddened voice.

"I see." Huo Long nodded.

He couldn't say that he didn't believe her, could he? After all, the God Realm to him seemed like something so illusory. He didn't think that his master was someone from those Realms.

Feng Huang naturally saw through his suspicions but didn't bother to defend herself. Time would prove everything.

Away from the Huo Clan, the Wang Clan was feeling the exact opposite as Huo Long.

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" In his office, Wang Yichen had destroyed everything that could be as he raged after hearing the news of Xue Bai's awakening.

"Which bastard was so cheap that only fed that trash a Middle Yellow Grade Vein Swallowing Worm!" Wang Yichen screamed as he finished demolishing his office.

Storming out, he found dozens of his subordinates kneeling both in fear and respect.

"Master Wang, it was the Third Elder. He is the person involved in all assassinations and poisonings." Then, seeing that Wang Yichen seemed to have calmed down a little, one of the black-clothed men raised his hand and spoke.

Sadly though his observation was right, Wang Yichen was acting like a volcano and was merely quiet before erupting. And after hearing that his third brother was the culprit, Wang Yichen waved his hand and turned the black-clothed man into a blood mist.

Wang Yichen was a Peak Domain Lord, while the black-clothed man was merely in the Qi Sea Realm. So with just a ball of Spiritual Qi, Wang Yichen was able to erase his existence easily.

"Someone bring Third Brother here right now! I demand to know why our plan failed because of someone being cheap!" Wang Yichen ordered as he sat down on the grass.

Whether it was because they were scared of the consequences of being slow or wanted to get away from the volcano of Wang Yichen, no man stayed in the area of Wang Yichen's order. And with more than a dozen people following his order, the Third Elder came very quickly.

The Third Elder of the Wang Clan was named Wang Yin, and he was a skinny and lanky man with a clean-shaven chin. Along with his snake-like eyes and forked tongue, Wang Yin looked almost to be a Snake Demon who had gained a human form.

This was slightly true, as those weren't his born looks but the result of cultivating an incomplete Demonic Cultivation Technique. The Cultivation Technique gave him the springing power of a curled-up snake, along with the camouflage ability. However, it came at the cost of a permanent appearance change.

Entering the courtyard of Wang Yichen, Wang Yin was nervous, to say the least. Unlike other clans where decisions were vote-based, Wang Yichen ruled the Wang Clan with an iron fist. Whether it was strength, networks, or even intelligence Wang Yichen was miles in front of every single one of his siblings and cousins.

And after staying in the Patriarch seat for more than 30 years by now, Wang Yichen had almost forgotten his familial bonds being just as cruel to his family as he would an enemy outside.

So after being called into Wang Yichen's office after seeing him lose his composure and destroy his own office, Wang Yin feared for his life. But sadly, he had to enter, as if he didn't, he would die in his own courtyard.

"Big Brother, you called for me?" Wang Yin spoke with a smile as he bowed.
