Background / History

Shortly after True Person Xuan Chen accepted Lin Chan as his ninth disciple, he summoned Xu Chang, who had recently emerged from seclusion, and entrusted the new disciple's care to him. Xu Chang introduced himself as Lin Chan's Sixth Senior Brother and was ordered to show him around Tianquan Peak and teach him the Heart Sword Same Origin Art. 31

Xu Chang helped Lin Chan settle into Shu Mountain by arranging a cave dwelling, obtaining sect necessities, providing Bigu Pills, and explaining the basics of the sect's cultivation method. He also taught Lin Chan the Heart Sword Same Origin Art and Daoist Runes during Lin Chan's first months on Tianquan Peak. 32 33

When Lin Chan brought Little Li and Little White to Shu Mountain, Xu Chang transported them to Yaoguang Peak and arranged for Dian Mo to train them. He declined Lin Chan's offer to repay their board and tuition, stating that Tianquan Peak was not short of Talisman Coins. 33

Xu Chang later escorted Lin Chan on True Person Xuan Chen's diplomatic mission to Cuihou Peak in Wu Country. He transported the group by Floating Cloud Boat, consulted his friend Dugu Ye at Green Reed Market, investigated the peak's residents, and remained prepared to protect Lin Chan while the latter negotiated with the Si Mu Tiger Demon. 39 42 43

Personality

Xu Chang is consistently approachable and considerate toward Lin Chan. He reassures his new junior brother, gives him practical support without demanding repayment, and remains patient during Lin Chan's early cultivation. 31 32 33

He is cautious in matters involving senior cultivators and sect politics. When Lin Chan voiced suspicions about True Person Xuan Ji, Xu Chang firmly warned him against speaking recklessly, though he agreed to proceed carefully during their mission. 40

Xu Chang also has a gentle temperament and many friendships beyond Shu Mountain, including a close relationship with Dugu Ye of Green Reed Market. 42
