Biography
The manor crisis and reluctant cooperation
Long Yichen is introduced as a renowned martial arts expert and master of a pleasure estate patronized by the elite, although his reputation is stronger than any combat feat he personally displays. When violence devastates Longliu Manor, he responds with fury and gives chase, but the scale of Du Ge's actions and the arrival of cultivators quickly move the crisis beyond ordinary martial authority. He consequently provides local shelter and practical knowledge rather than becoming the decisive fighter he was reputed to be. (Chapters 517, 519–523)
Long later explains the capabilities and escape methods of Golden Elixir cultivators, helping Du Ge assess threats that conventional martial skill cannot answer. Longliu Manor also shelters the children gathered around Du Ge, which makes it a strategic target when Qi Refiners and Yin Gods seal the estate. His participation therefore shifts from defending property to supporting a group whose presence brings celestial scrutiny directly to his home. (Chapters 526–530, 538)
Keywords, skills, and cultivation
Long Yichen is reputed to be a martial arts expert, but no named technique or cultivation realm is demonstrated. His more dependable asset is informed familiarity with local cultivators, including the mobility and survival options available to Golden Elixir experts. That knowledge is useful for planning, yet it cannot itself break the supernatural blockade imposed on his manor. (Chapters 517, 526–530, 538)
