Qing Yang, the young sect master of Xuanwei Sect, had a long dream and discovered that the world he lived in was actually a cultivation BL novel about rising to power.
And he himself was the novel's most powerful cannon-fodder support character. His main purpose was to give his cheap Dao companion, the protagonist Gong Qin Qing, all kinds of pills and magical treasures, single-handedly turning him into the greatest cultivator in the world.
Then, because he stood in the way of Qin Qing and his sweet, pure-hearted main love interest, the author casually killed him off. He sacrificed himself to help the protagonist Gong refine an Ascension Pill, enabling him to break through in the middle of a battle and defeat the villainous Demon Venerable.
Qing Yang thought his future self must have been blind. He decisively resolved to choose a different Dao companion. For example, that future Demon Venerable, who was just as unlucky as he was, seemed like a good choice.
After all, a dependable support beats a fickle damage dealer, so he might as well pick someone obedient and well-behaved.

Xuanwei Sect had an unspoken rule.
Most cultivators in the sect paired up as Dao companions. One took the offensive, fighting enemies beyond the sect, while the other played defense, refining the pills and magical treasures they needed to cultivate.
The current young sect master, Qing Yang, had the Ten Thousand Spirits' Peerless Constitution. He could not practice any offensive arts, but possessed unparalleled talent in alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman-making, and formations. He was considered the best choice for a Dao companion in the sect.
Everyone assumed he would choose Qin Qing, the most talented senior brother in the sect.
Just as Qin Qing was preparing to feign reluctance and claim he could reach the pinnacle of the immortal path without a support, Qing Yang walked into the crowd and chose the lowest-ranking servant in the sect, a mixed-blood boy of low status.
He only smiled and said, “Choosing Qin Qing would be so boring... Wouldn't it be more fun if I raised this little servant until he became stronger than him?”
Qin Qing's face darkened instantly.

The first time Qing Yang met Bei Gong Cang, he was the lowest-ranking servant in the sect. Because he was half human and half demon, he endured constant abuse and torment from his fellow disciples, as though he were living in hell.
Looking at the future Demon Venerable huddled in a corner, Qing Yang thought he looked like a poor little puppy shivering in the cold.
Then he reached out to the puppy.
Qing Yang: “Would you like to become my Dao companion? But from now on, you'll answer to me and hold me in the highest regard. You must never betray me, not in this life or the next.”
“In return, I'll give you a different life and take you to the very top of the cultivation world.”
Bei Gong Cang looked at the beautiful youth before him, as lovely as an immortal, and did not hear the rest of his words. Without hesitation, he clasped the youth's hand.
As if he had caught hold of a ray of light in the abyss.
