"Congratulations, senior brother! Congratulations!"

The man smiled and bowed deeply. "It's been many years. Senior Brother has become a Celestial Lord. Do you still remember your old friend?"

This person was dressed in a crimson dragon robe and had an exceptionally handsome appearance.

He seemed to possess an air of otherworldly elegance, and his appearance was even better than Han Qinhu's.

Although he was only a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator, if the two of them concealed their auras and took a stroll through the mortal realm...

It is estimated that all mortals would admire this person greatly and regard him as an immortal.

As for Han Qinhu, the best impression he gets is that he's a butcher.

They would most likely be regarded as bandits or thugs.

"So it's Junior Brother Yu. It's been so long, I've missed you terribly."

Bai Cang's attitude was gentle yet approachable. "I once said I would repair your body, but I never expected that I would break my promise in the end."

Seeing that your body is intact and you have already formed a mid-grade Dao foundation, I feel somewhat relieved, and have no regrets.

Bai Cang still held this person in his heart.

This is because this "Junior Brother Yu" is arguably the earliest and only member of Bai Cang's team.

When Bai Cang first arrived at the Chilong Temple, Yu Canghai, who was the guest master, gave him a profound shock.

Bai Cang still remembers the luxurious style of the guest room, with its pearl ceiling, jade walls, various treasures, and spiritual atmosphere.

And Yu Canghai, served by four graceful and beautiful female Taoist priests, "kindly received" his "sound and smile".

That scene can be said to have opened the door to a new world for Bai Cang.

It allowed him to understand what a "celestial master" truly meant from a completely new perspective.

What impressed Bai Cang the most was that Yu Canghai's attempt to show off backfired, and he was instead outmaneuvered, even managing to steal a few jade pearls from him.

These resources, which seem insignificant now, were the last gap that Bai Cang needed to advance his Daoist cultivation.

If it weren't for that Daoist advancement, Bai Cang's start at the Crimson Dragon Temple might not have been so smooth.

It's even possible that if he falls behind at one step, he'll fall behind at every step, causing him to miss many opportunities and thus preventing him from reaching his current level.

Yu Canghai played a very important role in Bai Cang's subsequent cultivation and rise in the Red Dragon Temple.

He could be considered Bai Cang's "best tool" during that period.

Not only was he easy to use, but he was also intelligent, knew when to advance and retreat, and was quite pleasing to Bai Cang.

If Bai Cang hadn't advanced so quickly, causing Yu Canghai to fall behind and gradually fall behind, then...

Perhaps he really could become Bai Cang's capable subordinate.

Moreover, Yu Canghai was a "meritorious official" who "shed blood" and "suffered injuries" for Bai Cang.

During the sword fight at Baiman Mountain, he lost an arm and nearly lost his Daoist path because he was protecting Zhang He and Sun Hongbo.

Bai Cang had promised him that if given the chance, he would definitely find a way to repair his body and resume his path.

Later, after entering the Eastern Heaven, I still kept this matter in mind.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and did not find the right opportunity.

Later, he was not in control of his own destiny and was pushed along by "fate" all the way until now, when he has finally returned to southern Xinjiang.

So even if Yu Canghai doesn't step forward, Bai Cang will still give him an explanation.

Now that he has come forward, Bai Cang doesn't mind giving him this information in advance.

Bai Cang was gentle towards Cang Hai, but his gaze toward Zhang He at the door carried a slightly stern warning.

Clearly, Zhang He remembered the past favors, which is why he deliberately let Yu Canghai in.

Otherwise, with Zhang He, the ancestor of gods and demons, guarding the area, how could ordinary people possibly bother him?

Of course, Bai Cang did not blame Zhang He.

After all, he could understand the other party's mentality of "repaying kindness".

But this can only happen once; there must never be a next time.

If he can't even guard the door properly, what use is this mount to him?

Why not just go back to "Hutian" and hang out with those "races" from now on?

In any case, as long as Bai Cang does not die or his cultivation dissipates, Zhang He, who is no longer subject to lifespan limitations, can enjoy eternal freedom.

As a return to the "angel investor," Bai Cang felt that it was already enough, and even far exceeded.

If Zhang He still can't figure things out, Bai Cang naturally won't unconditionally tolerate him.

"Thanks to Elder Yinsha's care, I have finally achieved some success."

Yu Canghai smiled and responded, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Yin Sha Zhenjun.

Then he added, "However, I also know that this is because of my senior brother. Otherwise, how could a celestial being like Elder Yinsha have any regard for someone as insignificant as me?"

Compared to Han Qinhu, Yu Canghai was much more at ease in front of Bai Cang.

Not only did they dare to "claim credit for their achievements," but they also dared to play dirty tricks, completely unafraid that Bai Cang would "turn against them."

In Yu Canghai's view, the Golden Core True Monarch was already a "celestial being," and the Primordial Spirit Dao Monarch was a "myth" that was the limit of imagination.

So he knew that Bai Cang was awesome, but that was all he knew.

Just how amazing it was was far beyond Yu Canghai's imagination.

As the saying goes: Ignorance is bliss.

It is precisely because he "doesn't know" that he is so open and honest.

I bled for my senior brother, I was wounded for my senior brother, I want to see my senior brother, I want to see my senior brother…

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang glanced at Yin Sha Zhenjun. She had intended to respond, but she was immediately struck dumb and swallowed her words dejectedly.

"Junior Brother Yu, do you still have any aspirations for your future path in the Dao?"

Immediately, Bai Cang looked at Yu Canghai with a smile, "Do you wish to attain immortality and remain steadfast in your pursuit, or do you desire a lifetime of wealth and blessings for future generations?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai's heart pounded, and he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

He completely forgot all the words and phrases he had planned beforehand.

He couldn't help but shout in response, "If one wishes to attain immortality, what should one do?"

Bai Cang laughed and said, "If you want to live forever, first strengthen your Dao heart, and then build a solid foundation."

I will strip you of your cultivation, let you wander through the mortal world, and then bestow upon you the supreme Dharma to help you resume your path..."

Before Bai Cang could finish speaking, Yu Canghai shook his head vigorously, "May I ask, senior brother: what good is a lifetime of wealth and honor?"

Bai Cang still smiled and said, "I will grant you ten thousand years of lifespan, pass on to you a scroll of the 'Taiyin God-Slaying Technique,' and bestow upon you a perfected Seventy-Two Forbidden Earthly Fiend Magic Weapon, so that you may enjoy the blessings of longevity, establish the foundation of your family's inheritance, and become the ancestor of a founding immortal cultivation family..."

Before Bai Cang could finish speaking, Yu Canghai impatiently said, "I wish for a lifetime of wealth and honor, and I humbly request that you grant my request, senior brother!"

In Yu Canghai's view, what is the difference between living to be over 10,000 years old and achieving immortality?

He once desired immortality, but never dared to hope for "eternal life".
