Twelve, Fifteen

Xiang Dong sensed that Yangmei's gaze was somewhat malicious; he guessed that she was trying to find a breakthrough in the Space-Time Great Dao from him.

Although Xiang Dong was unsure of the true value of this Space-Time Great Dao.

But... well, even if it were the Chaos Demon Gods, he wouldn't just casually reveal all his knowledge and teach it to everyone.

Moreover, he simply didn't know how, and Taichu knew the answer but not the reason. The reason he was able to arrive at Xiang Dong's side in an instant was very complicated and difficult to explain in a short time.

Therefore, Xiang Dong chose not to continue this topic and instead steered the conversation to something else.

"Speaking of which, how did you do with the thing I asked you to do? How many people did you manage to save?"

Yangmei Mei's eyes flickered slightly. Xiang Dong's change of topic was a bit abrupt, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he continued along with Xiang Dong's words.

"Twelve."

"Only twelve!"

Actually, twelve isn't a small number, but Xiang Dong's original intention was the more the better. If they could reach a hundred, then they wouldn't have to worry about anything... right?

Too much doesn't seem like a good thing!

Xiang Dong was deep in thought, and Yangmei, thinking he was dissatisfied with the quantity, continued.

"Including the three old friends— the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Heaven and Earth —who are still nurturing their dormant Primordial Spirit, there are a total of fifteen."

"Oh ho!"

Xiang Dong instantly perked up; this was quite an achievement, he'd even saved these three unlucky guys.

"Damaged? How damaged is it? Can it be salvaged?"

"Don't worry, the Chaos Demon Gods's life is much tougher than you think," Yangmei explained with a calm smile.

"As long as a trace of true spirit remains, and the origin of the Great Dao still exists, it will take some time to reshape a physical body that is in harmony with the Great Dao, and then it will come back to life."

"However, this process will take a lot of time, and the Primordial Spirits of all three of them have been severely damaged by the God-Slaying Spear. To repair and nourish their Primordial Spirits, a massive amount of spiritual essence from heaven and earth is needed, and it will take me some time to collect it."

If he hadn't been severely injured by the God-Slaying Spear, even if he had been pierced a few times and his physical body had been destroyed, it wouldn't have been a big deal; it would have just been a fatal wound.

Primordial Spirit severely damaged by the God-Slaying Spear cannot recover on its own. The Chaos and malevolent energy associated with the God-Slaying Spear will continuously erode the wound until it completely obliterates the Primordial Spirit.

In order to save these three ancestors, Yangmei had no choice but to go all the way and collect the essence of heaven and earth, so she did not come to meet Xiang Dong immediately.

"Oh, can the Three Lights Divine Water heal them?"

"Of course, but we'll need a lot. Do you have a lot of stock left?"

The Three Lights Divine Water is a sacred medicine for healing, but it is extremely rare. Even Yangmei doesn't have much of it. The last time he saw it was when Xiang Dong used it to brew Enlightenment Tea.

While the Enlightenment Tea is worth it, it's far too extravagant, even bordering on nouveau riche spending.

Judging from Xiang Dong's words, he still had quite a lot of supplies. It seems that Pangu really cared about this "offspring" and left him all the good things.

Yangmei's idea wasn't entirely wrong, after all, the Twelve-Rank World-Cleansing White Lotus was found under the guidance of Pangu's Will, and the Three Lights Divine Water was an unexpected gain.

"Sure, sure, that should be enough. How many kilograms do you need?"

Well, this guy seems to have quite a lot in stock. Everyone else buys by the drop, but you're talking about several kilograms right off the bat.

"Let's try 3,000 drops first and see the effect."

"Alright!"

Xiang Dong took out a small Jade Bottle from his own primordial space, and while giving it to Yangmei, he also took a drop for himself.

I didn't want to get treatment; I'd rather just die. But now I have things to do, and these injuries are a problem.

Xiang Dong's physical body was not at a high level of cultivation, so this drop of Three Lights Divine Water was like a holy medicine to him, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones, with an immediate effect.

The moment the water droplets seeped into the skin, a cool and refreshing feeling instantly swept over the whole body, followed by a crisp crackling sound as the water peeled away.

The outer shell, which had been Solar True Fire, quickly cracked and fell off, revealing the tender, green stems underneath. The wilted flower stalks straightened up again, and the yellowed and blackened petals regained their vibrant luster.

A sudden itch ran through the center of the flowerpot. Xiang Dong couldn't resist shaking his head vigorously, like a puppy that had just taken a bath, swishing water in a spiral motion.

And so, a whole bunch of dark melon seeds fell from the flowerpot.

The empty grooves were quickly filled with new sunflower seeds. These sunflower seeds, nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, grew better and were full of vitality, radiating a pure halo.

From being critically injured and on the verge of death to healing, peeling skin, and experiencing a second spring, the entire process took less than half a minute, and Xiang Dong was reborn and fully recovered.

Overall, it's in better condition than before. Its neck isn't sore anymore, the leaves aren't scorched, its limbs are stronger, and it can climb five floors in one go without getting out of breath.

"Ah, so refreshing! I didn't think it was that effective when I drank it before, but I didn't expect it to feel so good after experiencing it myself. It's like having a full-body spa. I want to do it again."

Xiang Dong shook his head and sighed. Yangmei raised her eyelids slightly and said, "You drank it all in one gulp before, and you weren't injured. Besides, the effects were all covered by the Enlightenment Tea, so naturally you didn't feel anything."

Yangmei took the bottle of Three Lights Divine Water and multitasked with it, treating the three ancestors in her own space while asking Xiang Dong.

"Young friend, how much exactly will the visa you gave me be worth?"

"I have a few old friends here who also want to follow the path of Chaos Proving the Dao, just like me, but they don't want to leave the Primordial World, so they asked me to inquire about it."

"Don't worry, the number of spots isn't a problem; it's just that there's a slight hiccup right now."

"Your treasured artifact of Merit is no longer usable?"

Yangmei had been observing for a long time, and although she hadn't been watching from the beginning, she could tell that Xiang Dong's phone was being restricted by the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, I need a little time."

Yangmei nodded, indicating her understanding.

"It's alright, it's just a matter of waiting a while. But young friend, you should hurry up. My old friends are about to break through, and if they can't suppress it and prove their Dao outside the Primordial World, then it will be troublesome."

"It's alright, it's not too much trouble. You can go to Chaos, you can just help deliver a package."

Yangmei rolled his eyes. Although he didn't quite understand what "delivering a package" meant, he roughly understood that it meant he had to run errands.

He's a dignified Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable, doesn't he have any pride?

"Then let me know when you're ready, young friend."

"Alright, but even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I'm not processing your visas for free; they have to abide by the three conditions I've agreed upon. Also, they have to do me a few favors."

"Young friend, please speak freely about your conditions, but I cannot guarantee that they will agree."
