The thousand-year-old Ganoderma Immortal had long attained consciousness, knowing that many creatures wanted to devour him, so he had to find himself a Guardian Beast.
His Guardian Beast was a unique Lin Spirit, also a formidable monster, residing in his rooted cave.
But having such a Guardian Beast still wasn't safe, so the Ganoderma Immortal specifically placed his cave at Drunken Immortal Cliff, right beneath the crevice from which the Beauty Serpent could stick its head out.
If other monsters pursued him, the Beauty Serpent only had to poke its head out to suck the assailants in and devour them. Of course, what it wanted to eat most was him, but he managed to carefully avoid it every time.
With the assistance of the Beauty Serpent, he had escaped many calamities.
