The luxury of the guest hall and the rear hall completely exceeded Bai Cang's imagination.
The ceiling was adorned with bright pearls, the walls with jade discs, and various precious gems, all exuding a spiritual aura.
On a jade futon sat a middle-aged Taoist priest with a handsome and extraordinary appearance, dressed in a red dragon robe.
At first glance, one cannot help but think of the phrase: otherworldly and otherworldly.
However, at this moment, the Taoist's behavior was completely devoid of any air of otherworldly elegance.
He was surrounded by four graceful and beautiful female Taoists.
The female Taoist on the left holds an incense burner, and blows out a fragrant breeze from her sandalwood mouth.
The female Taoist on the right was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, gently creating a cool breeze.
A female Taoist priest serves tea in front of him, her skin and flesh serving as the cup; a female Taoist priest massages his shoulders behind him, and the bright moon serves as his support.
Truly, how carefree and blessed!
Bai Cang was completely dumbfounded!
This is hardly a Taoist priest; even earthly kings and nobles are no better than this.
No, no human king or nobleman is qualified to be served by four "fairy maidens" like this.
Although their cultivation levels were not high, those four female Daoists were clearly all practitioners who had entered the Dao and were cultivating Qi.
Among the cultivators Bai Cang had met, none of them valued cultivation above all else and did not care about pleasure.
Even someone as greedy and stingy as the Three Yin Immortals, his purpose in scraping the ground was for cultivation.
At this moment, Bai Cang felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"Damn it! This guy doesn't even look like someone with a Daoist heart,"
Bai Cang thought to himself, and subconsciously used the "Qi Observation Method" to look.
With just one glance, he looked away, standing with his eyes downcast and hands in his sleeves.
This was because, in his observation, the Taoist priest's cultivation level was unfathomable, at least above the hundred acupoints.
Bai Cang felt that such beings should be treated with respect, regardless of their manner of conduct.
Respecting the strong is respecting your own life!
Just then, Xu Yang bowed to the Taoist priest in charge of receiving guests and said, "Uncle-Master Yu, Uncle-Master Bai Cang, a disciple of Grandmaster Uncle-Master Han, has arrived."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest's eyelids twitched. He opened his eyes again, his gaze now gentle and warm, and a smile that was as comforting as a spring breeze appeared on his face.
"So it was Junior Brother Bai in person. I was so engrossed in pleasure that I failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
The Taoist priest, having just arrived, stood up and ordered his men, "Men, quickly prepare a feast to welcome my junior brother Bai back."
"Brother Yu, you flatter me!"
Seeing this, Bai Cang smiled, also being refined and easygoing, "I dare not refuse this gift from my senior brother. In that case, I will shamelessly trouble you."
"Good! I like Junior Brother Bai's straightforward nature."
The Taoist Master laughed heartily and quickly grasped Bai Cang's hand, saying, "We are brothers, and although this is our first meeting, we feel like old friends. We should get to know each other well."
The next second, Bai Cang suddenly felt a hard object in his hand.
Without needing to look further, one can tell it is a piece of spiritual jade.
"As expected of the guest master of the Crimson Dragon Temple, this Senior Brother Yu is indeed a remarkable person."
Without making a sound, Bai Cang let the jade slip into his sleeve, and then he chatted and laughed with the Taoist priest, arm in arm with him.
A piece of spirit jade is nothing, but the attitude of this "Senior Brother Yu" is quite intriguing.
To put it another way: it was precisely because a piece of spirit jade was nothing that Bai Cang dared to accept it without feeling guilty.
If the other party immediately offers precious treasures or magical artifacts, Bai Cang should worry whether this is money to buy his life.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Only Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini hamburgers will fall from the sky; there's no way a pie will fall from the sky.
In no time, the graceful female Taoist had prepared a feast.
The two had clearly become close friends, like superficial brothers who would "chop off chicken heads and burn yellow paper when they had free time."
After exchanging a few polite words, the two took their seats.
Two beautiful and charming female Taoists naturally came to serve Bai Cang.
She had delicate, jade-like hands and a supple waist. Sitting beside him, she served him food and poured him wine. Her care and attention were exquisite, and she exuded warmth and gentleness.
A wealthy and generous man leaned against "Master Bai Xiaodao" from behind, the bright moon providing support as he massaged his shoulders and neck, giving his large head a comfortable place to rest, making him quite happy.
Bai Cang accepted their service without hesitation, appreciating their delicate tenderness.
Although "Master Bai" prides himself on having an iron will, it doesn't prevent him from critically accepting this kind of "corruption."
He wouldn't accept it; how could "Brother Yu" enjoy it all to himself?
If "Senior Brother Yu" doesn't enjoy his position, how can those below him improve?
He, "Master Bai," truly went to great lengths, worrying himself sick over the harmony of the Heshan Sect.
It's not because "Xiaobai" has his own ideas.
However, when the Taoist priest suggested giving the two female Taoists to Bai Cang...
He refused without hesitation!
Riding a shared bike is one thing, but locking it is such an unethical thing to do.
In the end, it was "Master Bai" who took all the blame!
The future of the two prefectures, twelve counties, and forty-eight districts of the Heshan Sect rests on his shoulders.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the two had clearly become much closer.
Although the exact timing of "chopping up a chicken's head and burning yellow paper" is still uncertain.
But it's no longer the case that from now on, there will never be any free time again.
As for when I will be "available", I can only say "if available" or "if I am available".
"I am new here and do not know the true God."
After chatting for a long time, Bai Cang finally spoke with a smile: "I hope Senior Brother Yu will take good care of me and give me some pointers."
"No problem, no problem."
Senior Brother Yu drank a cup of wine and chuckled, "Junior Brother Bai has Uncle Han to rely on, so the rest are nothing to fear."
"Only in front of a few Dao Foundation Realm Masters must one be careful."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes lit up, and he quickly offered a cup of wine, "May I ask, senior brother: how many Dao Foundation True Persons are there in our Crimson Dragon Temple?"
Senior Brother Yu accepted it readily and said with a smile, "The Red Dragon Temple has only been established for twenty years. It is the time for us to expand and make progress. We have a lot to do."
"From the True Lord Ancestor who leads the abbot down, there are only the masters of the Three Capitals and Five Courtyards, led by the Dao Foundation True Person. Below the Eight Great Stewards, all are Qi Refining cultivators..."
With his senior brother's patient explanation, Bai Cang finally gained a basic understanding of the overall structure of the Crimson Dragon.
Although the Crimson Dragon Sect is involved in many complex affairs and governs two prefectures, twelve counties, and forty-eight districts of the Xia Kingdom, it is ultimately a legitimate sect that focuses primarily on cultivation.
The lucrative positions involving alchemy, artifacts, talismans, formations, the transmission of teachings, rewards and punishments, and money are all managed by Daoji Zhenren.
Tianhe Zhenjun is the leader of the Heshan Sect in the Xia Kingdom and holds the position of the master of the Chilong Temple in name only, but he is someone who does not participate in any affairs.
The affairs of the Red Dragon Temple, and even the entire Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect, were all discussed and handled by the three direct disciples, namely the Three Capitals.
This is the highest authority of the Red Dragon General Temple: the Three Capitals Council.
The three capitals also have their own division of labor. The capital is in charge of rewards and punishments, regulations, and rules, and oversees many affairs. The capital is in charge of cultivation methods and classics, and manages the roster of the sect. The capital is in charge of money, food, and resources for cultivation.
These three are all direct disciples of Tianhe Zhenjun, and are Han Qinhu's "biological senior brothers".
Below the three capitals, there are five academies: the Alchemy Academy, the Talisman Academy, the Weapon Academy, the Forbidden Academy, and the Miscellaneous Academy, which is responsible for daily management and oversees various industries.
The master of these five academies is also a Dao Foundation True Person, but he is not a disciple of Tianhe True Lord, but a "professional" hired from elsewhere.
As for whether or how many of them were "spies" planted by the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Mountains, that remains unknown.
In short: these three capitals and five academies, along with the eight Dao Foundation Real Persons, are among the few beings that Bai Cang cannot afford to offend in the Crimson Dragon General Temple.
However, although "Brother Yu" seemed enthusiastic, he only talked in generalities and only mentioned things that were already well known.
When it came to truly secret matters, he was extremely tight-lipped and didn't reveal a single word.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. I am very grateful."
However, Bai Cang still maintained a "thankful" demeanor and offered another cup of wine.
But at this moment, Senior Brother Yu tapped his cup without taking a sip, and sighed slightly, saying, "Junior Brother Bai and I hit it off immediately, and there are some things I want to say from the bottom of my heart, but I don't know if I should say them!"
Looking for free gifts!
