In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
Roaring Swamp Golden Sword!
This is a method of communication used within the Heshan Sect, primarily by disciples when requesting an audience with their master.
Because the Xiaoze Golden Sword is extremely valuable, few people are willing to use it under normal circumstances.
The Xiaoze Golden Sword is only used when one wishes to see a master but cannot enter the Nine Rivers and Great Swamps; it is essentially a high-level version of a formal invitation.
"Guest Hall is open to Yu Canghai. Please see my true disciple!"
Bai Cang took off the Xiaoze Golden Sword, and immediately the voice of "Senior Brother Yu" rang out.
"I didn't realize it was already dawn!"
He looked outside and saw that the sky was already beginning to lighten. "It's quite thoughtful of you to come to see me so early, Senior Brother Yu."
Bai Cang rose up with a flick of his sleeves, soaring straight up, and in an instant arrived at the top of the suspended giant mountain, where he sat down under a welcoming pine tree.
There was nothing we could do! Old Han was too ruthless; he didn't even leave him a single thing.
If you don't entertain guests here, you won't find a single chair in the entire Moonflower Cave.
With a thought, Bai Cang's sleeves billowed, and the True Inheritance Token in his hand flicked, causing a radiant glow to rise out of thin air and roll towards the Golden Gate and Jade Lock.
The next second, Jinxia swept back, and "Senior Brother Yu" was already kneeling in front of Bai Cang.
"Yu Canghai, an inner disciple, pays respects to his senior brother, the true disciple!"
Bai Cang raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted "Senior Brother Yu" up from the air. "Senior Brother Yu, we hit it off immediately and are close friends. Why stand on ceremony?"
“I became a disciple of my senior brother not because of his status as a true disciple, but because I admire and respect him as a person.”
Yu Canghai, with an attitude of "etiquette cannot be abandoned", insisted on bowing again, saying, "Please grant my sincere desire to pursue the Dao, senior brother."
Seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but smile. "Junior Brother Yu is indeed a remarkable person."
His sincere devotion to the Way is truly remarkable. His words are as brilliant as Feng Xiaogang's famous line, "Look up and you'll see the Big Dipper." He is indeed a towering figure in the world of flattery!
"Junior brother is dull-witted and does not remember even a fraction of senior brother's wisdom. He can only follow senior brother closely and hope to gain some foolish insight. He humbly requests senior brother's permission."
Yu Canghai, seizing the opportunity, was so loyal that his face practically screamed "loyalty," as if it were etched onto his forehead.
There is only one sun in my heart, and that is Senior Brother Bai Cang.
I am a loyal servant under Bai Zhenchuan!
It has to be said that being praised and flattered is really enjoyable.
No wonder those wise and powerful rulers would keep a few sycophantic ministers around them.
The emotional value it provides is simply too much!
However, Bai Cang was also well aware of this principle; he enjoyed it, but he wouldn't take it seriously.
So he simply said, "Junior Brother Yu, is this all you've come to say?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai said solemnly, "Junior brother has come to warn you because someone wants to harm you, senior brother."
After saying this, without waiting for Bai Cang to ask any questions, he recounted the whole scene of Li Chunfeng hosting a banquet for everyone last night.
Of course, when it comes to himself, Yu Canghai uses subtle language to gloss over the subject.
It is said that Li Chunfeng made things difficult for him in every way, but he was loyal to "Senior Brother Bai" and would never submit to such a "treacherous and cunning" villain.
"Li Chunfeng and Zhao Yunlong are quite interesting."
Bai Cang flicked his finger lightly and said calmly, "I appreciate Junior Brother Yu's kindness."
This was the second time he had heard the name Li Chunfeng, so he wasn't surprised.
However, he was quite interested in Zhao Yunlong, Zhou Ganzheng's top disciple.
Is it really just the impotent rage of a simp who can't get what he wants?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
But none of that matters: a tiger sees no ravines, but a coward sees only obstacles.
These trivial matters were not enough to stir Bai Cang's mind; at most, he would just silently remember them in his heart, but they were not enough to make him "treat the enemy as if they were a formidable foe" or "be on high alert."
Yu Canghai specifically mentioned this matter not to "warn" Bai Cang.
Rather, it was to pledge allegiance, and their purpose was naturally something else entirely.
Even Bai Cang was fully aware of his purpose.
But things didn't go as he wished. Instead, he casually asked, "Junior Nephew Xu Yang, why didn't you come with Junior Brother Yu?"
Yu Canghai hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, is there something you need to tell Xu Yang? Junior Brother is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
Bai Cang waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a matter of cause and effect, and I'm just a little concerned about something."
After saying that, Bai Cang briefly recounted the matter of the young Taoist on duty.
"What's wrong with Xu Yang? He can't even handle this small matter. It's really outrageous."
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai immediately became indignant and said with a fierce look on his face, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely handle it properly for you."
"Look, he's in a hurry again!"
Bai Cang waved his hand repeatedly, "I hit it off with Junior Nephew Xu at first sight, so please don't make things difficult for him, Junior Brother Yu."
"As long as the message is conveyed clearly, that's enough. We need to give young people opportunities!"
If left unchecked, Bai Cang believes that by tomorrow at the latest, Xu Yang, along with that young Taoist priest on duty, will be orphaned and disappear from the world.
Moreover, Bai Cang was 100% certain that Yu Canghai would definitely make a big show of it and use his own name to carry out this matter.
Let Xu Yang and the others suffer a bit, and let him bear the infamy of being called "Little Taoist Master Bai".
Yu Canghai, however, managed to gain a favor for himself and eliminate a "competitor" for free.
After all, Bai Cang only knew two or three people at the Red Dragon Headquarters.
If Xu Yang is gone, who can he entrust with managing his shops, spirit fields and mines?
Yu Canghai's abacus beads were practically flying into his face.
How could Bai Cang possibly let him have his way?
"Senior brother, you are kind and benevolent, I admire you greatly."
Yu Canghai clicked his tongue with some regret, then suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot the important matter."
"Manager Yu of the Beishi Tonghui Money Shop recently borrowed some spirit pearls from my senior brother and entrusted me to pass them on to you. I almost forgot about it."
As he spoke, Yu Canghai solemnly handed over a brocade pouch.
Bai Cang took it and saw that it was actually a storage bag containing a total of eight thousand spirit pearls.
"Good heavens, they're all smart people!"
Bai Cang chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. "Hey, thank you for making this trip, Junior Brother. I was just thinking of settling accounts with Manager Yu when I had some free time."
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai's smile froze instantly.
Is this a form of verbal abuse? It must be, right?
Yu Canghai gained a deeper understanding of Bai Cang's "stinginess" and difficulty in dealing with him.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried about the purpose of my trip.
However, Bai Cang was not really trying to scare Yu Canghai.
He was prepared to have a serious "chat" with Manager Yu when he was truly short of money.
After all, the title of "Master Bai Xiaoxian" can be lent to "Fair Account Immortal".
However, the title of "Master Bai," a newly appointed disciple, requires an additional fee.
Now that Yu Canghai has already added money for Manager Yu in advance, he can no longer "push his luck".
Otherwise, it would be a problem that eight thousand spirit pearls could not solve!
Thinking of this, Bai Cang immediately added, "I happen to have something I'd like to ask Junior Brother Yu for help with!"
