The pursuit by the Golden Core Divine Thought naturally yielded no results.

Let's not even talk about how terrified Ye Lan'er was, or how much she was paranoid.

The moment Bai Cang descended upon Bai Man Mountain, he had already changed his body.

He concealed his true form within the "Pot Heaven World," yet he controlled the body of the Frostfire Dragon Fox, transforming himself into an ordinary young man.

He concealed all his cultivation and foundation, revealing only his cultivation level of seventy or eighty acupoints, before heading towards Lanyun Sea City.

This level of cultivation was carefully designed by Bai Cang: it would neither attract attention nor allow him to be bullied at will because of his low cultivation level.

Even if someone sees through his disguise, they can only discover the alias "Frostfire Dragon Fox" and would never be able to connect it to his identity as "Great Sword Immortal Bai".

After all, they are different in gender and race, how could they be the same person?

When Bai Cang returned to Lanyun Sea City, he no longer made a fuss, but instead boarded a ship and landed on Yunguang Island in an unusually low-key manner.

Moreover, they no longer frequent the high-end venues within the inner ring of Yunguang Island, but instead settle down in the outer "Qingyunfang".

The so-called "Qingyunfang" means "to remain steadfast in poverty and not lose one's ambition to rise to the top." The key word is not "rising to the top" but "poverty".

Not to mention comparing it to the immortal cave dwelling of "Chang Sheng Fang" or the wealthy and prosperous place like "Ping Kang Fang", it completely surpasses and crushes even "Chang Shou Fang" in Central.

Elsewhere, pavilions and towers abound, shrouded in ethereal mist and brimming with spiritual energy, exuding an air of otherworldly grandeur and carefree ease.

"Qingyunfang" is characterized by its "simplicity and unpretentiousness." It is a gathering place for many low-level cultivators and ordinary martial artists on Yunguang Island, and even in most of the Dragon Palace Sea City.

A two-section, single-family courtyard house costs only ten spirit pearls per month in rent.

Aside from a lack of spiritual energy and the difficulty of cultivation, it can be said to have no flaws, and it is highly praised by low-level cultivators in the Dragon Palace Sea Market.

In particular, the security of Yunguang Island is said to be second only to Lanyuan Prefecture City.

"What needed to be shown in a high-profile manner has already been shown. Now we just need to wait quietly for Old Han's summons and the audience with the True Lord Ancestor."

Bai Cang manipulated the Frostfire Dragon Fox and pasted the Heavenly River True Lord's talisman, which he had "invited" from the Hall of Self-Transmission, in the courtyard to ensure that it could prevent outsiders from spying on him before stepping out of the "Pot Heaven World".

Yunguang Island is the Daoist temple of Tianhe Zhenjun, and Bai Cang absolutely does not believe that any movement here can be kept from his eyes and ears.

In other words, while Tianhe Zhenjun may not be entirely aware of Bai Cang's every move and word, he has at least seen it all.

Aside from the deeply hidden secret of the "Pot Heaven World," Bai Cang had no intention of concealing anything from True Lord Tianhe.

Even his actions of entering and leaving the "Pot Heaven World" might not be impossible for the Heavenly River True Lord to see.

After all, it's just a portable cave dwelling, at most a small blessed land.

Perhaps some fake or illusory elixir masters, or even real or golden elixir masters with lower-quality elixir-forming abilities, might covet the secrets within Bai Cang.

However, judging from the "prestige" and grandeur displayed by Tianhe Zhenjun.

Even a Golden Core True Monarch, who is at least a high-grade Golden Core cultivator, would naturally look down on this "junk".

The better Bai Cang performed, the higher his score would be in Bai Cang's mind, and he would naturally not hesitate to show it off.

However, he doesn't deliberately show off; some things need to be discovered "personally" by others to achieve better results.

"Next, we should consider how to prepare a gift to show our respect to the True Lord Ancestor!"

Bai Cang stroked his smooth chin, pondering it carefully in his mind.

Logically speaking, when younger people meet their elders, they don't need to prepare any gifts.

His "treasures" might just be rubbish in the eyes of a Golden Core True Monarch, not even worth a glance.

But who can blame him when "Master Bai" is so filial? His main selling points are "filial piety that moves heaven and earth" and "great filial piety that makes the whole place roar".

Moreover, he already had a preliminary idea: it must be shabby, but sincere.

The shabby appearance is a way to elicit sympathy; the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?

We can't end up like Lao Han, who clearly has a superior Dao Foundation but is disliked by the True Lord and is hated by gods and ghosts. He not only gets no benefits but also struggles to even meet the True Lord of the Heavenly River.

Showing off one's potential is to prove one's "worth," and showing one's "filial piety" is also to demonstrate one's "worth." Playing the victim is just a convenient "bonus" in the process.

Therefore, the "gift" he prepared for Tianhe Zhenjun had to be not only meager but also thoughtful, giving people the feeling that "he had done his best," and absolutely not just for the sake of playing the victim.

How can one demonstrate filial piety by giving a "gift" worth only a few spirit pearls to "True Lord Ancestor" when one has a net worth of over ten million spirit pearls?

With this in mind, Bai Cang had a preliminary idea: the "Nourishing Essence and Spirit Pill".

To a Golden Core True Monarch, such a low-level pill is no different from a clod of dirt.

However, this is a pill formula created by Bai Cang himself, so who can say that he didn't put his heart into it?

Incidentally, he can also showcase his "dual prowess in alchemy and swordsmanship," further demonstrating his potential. Why not?

"But simply offering a Qi-Nourishing and Spirit-Cultivating Pill seems a bit lacking!"

Bai Cang seemed to be deep in thought, as all the publicly available information about Tianhe Zhenjun flashed through his mind.

Tianhe Zhenjun was a Daoist in his youth, known for his "romantic life of wine and swordsmanship." He was a young man who achieved great success, and was fond of flying swords, fine wine, spirits, beautiful women, spirit pets, Daoist soldiers, alchemy, and talismans.

Now that his cultivation has reached the heavens, he no longer seeks external things, but only seeks great freedom and unfettered ease.

"That's right! Fine wine!"

Bai Cang's eyes lit up. "If we just slightly modify the formula for the Nourishing Essence and Spirit Pill, and then blend it into fine wine to make a medicinal wine, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

"Although this item is not particularly valuable, it is novel and can also demonstrate my thoughtfulness. Isn't that wonderful?"

Bai Cang originally intended to improve the formula of the "Nourishing Essence and Spirit Pill" so that it could be sold in Pingkangfang.

Now, this plan has collapsed before it even got off the ground.

This is a good opportunity to improve upon it and apply it to "coaxing old men".

Even more so, if he could get a word or two of praise from Tianhe Zhenjun, wouldn't that be enough to directly establish his brand and transform his original idea of ​​"small profits but quick turnover" into a high-end "brand" that makes huge profits?

Even the True Lord says it's good, so who dares to say it's bad?

Moreover, Yunguang Island was originally the Daoist temple of Tianhe Zhenjun, and after receiving his "certification", it even had a powerful backer.

With that in mind, Bai Cang immediately began preparations in earnest.

After trying eighty-seven kinds of spiritual wines and more than eight hundred kinds of ordinary wines, the most perfect recipe was finally created.

The new version of "Nourishing Essence and Spirit Pill" is incorporated into the wine, giving it not only a bright color but also a viscous texture resembling amber, with a silky and refreshing taste.

"With grapes, fine wine, and a luminous cup, how about we call it the Nourishing Health Bar!"

Bai Cang raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, immediately feeling that it was "smooth on the palate and went down smoothly," which was very pleasant.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push!
