I Dare Recommend Him, but Do You Dare Take Him?
Having successfully promoted Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, and having solidified the resolve of several Chaos Demon Gods to establish their own religion and spread their teachings, Xiang Dong no longer needed to keep a close eye on what they did next; that was their own private matter.
As Xiang Dong was about to leave with his two magical treasures, he saw Zhun Ti and Jie Yin standing to the side. He had initially lied to them about a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity, and now he had sold them for a good price, with them even helping him count the money. Xiang Dong felt somewhat guilty, so he decided to give them something as compensation.
"Um, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, I consider you two teachers to be my equals."
"According to the rules, shouldn't you all call me 'Uncle-Master'?"
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were both taken aback, but they were both thick-skinned and would climb up the ladder if given a stick, so they didn't refute Xiang Dong's words. After all, their teacher and mistress hadn't objected, so how could they dare to disagree?
"Jie Yin (Zhun Ti) greets his martial uncle!"
The two bowed respectfully, addressing each other as "Uncle-Master" without any hesitation.
"Since you all call me 'Junior Uncle' now, let's completely put an end to our little squabbles from before."
"Uncle-Master, you're being too polite. That was your guidance, which we will always remember. We are grateful for your introduction, Uncle-Master. Without you, we wouldn't be who we are today, right, Senior Brother?"
"That's right, we brothers should thank our senior uncle for his previous teachings, otherwise we would have made a grave mistake."
They were blind before, but now they've not only gained insight, they've also broadened their horizons and come to terms with reality.
When elders discipline younger people, can that be called hitting? It's the elders' care and guidance for the younger generation.
With each respectful address of "Uncle-Master," the minor grudges between the two sides vanished, and they were able to turn hostility into friendship.
"Haha, so sensible! I like sensible kids; sensible kids get treats."
Xiang Dong nodded with satisfaction. Since these two were so cooperative, he could consider giving them a little more.
"This time, let's consider it our formal meeting. I, your senior uncle, will give each of you a small gift."
Xiang Dong flipped his palm over, and two Six-Grade Pure World White Lotus, radiating pure white light, appeared in his palm.
Each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches received one of the Nine-Grade Lotus Throne Platforms, plus one each for Nuwa and Fuxi, leaving only a few. However, there were many Six-Grade Lotus Throne Platforms available, so giving away two wouldn't be a big deal.
The Six-Grade Lotus Throne has reached the level of Middle-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. Although it is not as good as Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, it has a miraculous effect in guarding and nourishing the Primordial Spirit.
In addition to the Six-Grade Lotus Throne, each person was also given ten drops of the Three Lights Divine Water as a precaution.
"These two sixth-grade white lotuses and ten drops of the Three Lights Divine Water are bestowed upon you two brothers."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti accepted the gift with both hands, and when they called out "Uncle-Master," it carried a greater sense of sincerity.
Instead of offering words of comfort, why not give them a large sum of money?
After leaving the Daoist temple of Samsara and the Yellow Springs, Yangmei Daoist's expression became somewhat subtle. He opened his mouth several times but hesitated to speak.
As they approached Buzhou Mountain, Yangmei hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.
"Young friend, you yourself said before that if I wanted a disciple, you would find one for me as soon as you asked."
"Um..."
Is this settling scores after the fact?
Looking at Yangmei's expression, Xiang Dong felt like he had screwed himself over. He had already sold off Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, so where was he going to find disciples for them now?
"That's what I said, but you're clearly looking down on both of them."
"As you can see, those two are completely unsuitable for the Space Great Dao. I have absolutely no affinity with them as master and disciple. Besides them, do you have any other suitable candidates?"
Suitable?
If there is one, then there really is one. The first thing that came to Xiang Dong's mind was Di Jiang.
The Ancestral Witches of Space was born with mastery of the Space Principle. While it may not be 100% compatible with your Space Great Dao, it is at least 70% or 80% compatible.
The problem is, if I dare to introduce you to this company, would you dare to accept it?
Or are you saying that if you dare to accept it, I dare to introduce others, and I won't even ask you for a referral fee?
Should I say yes?
"Yes or no, that's what it means. You're usually quite decisive, aren't you?"
"Alright, you said it yourself. I know someone who's perfect for you, and that's the Ancestral Witch Dijiang. He was born with a mastery of the laws of space. The spatial law imprint on my Ancestral Witch true form was given to me by him."
Anyway, the matter of the Ancestral Witches is now public knowledge, so Xiang Dong doesn't need to keep it hidden anymore. It's only a matter of time before it's made public, and it certainly won't be hidden from Yangmei.
"The Ancestral Witches, beings formed from the Pangu Essence Blood?"
Sure enough, Yangmei's face immediately turned ashen, as if she had been constipated for several days.
He had thought Xiang Dong was indecisive and indecisive earlier, but now it was his turn. He stammered and hesitated, thinking and thinking, but still didn't say anything.
Although he is now the Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable, he still doesn't want to provoke Pangu.
Let's talk about it later, only if we really can't find a suitable apprentice.
Xiang Dong also decided to change the subject, after all, the scene of Yangmei taking Di Jiang as her disciple was too beautiful to imagine.
"If you don't want this one, then I don't have any good candidates for the time being. But if you really want to take on a disciple, you can also consider me. What do you think of me?"
Xiang Dong patted his chest, his face full of sincerity.
"Regardless, I've only learned a smattering of your understanding of the Space Great Dao, and I've even grasped a bit of the Space Principle now. If you really want a disciple, I'll take a loss and accept me as your last disciple, how about that?"
From this perspective, they could be considered to have a master-disciple relationship in practice, but without the formal title of master and disciple. Their relationship was more like that of friends than master and disciple.
"Not good!"
Yangmei rejected him without a second thought, without the slightest hesitation, and the reason was quite simple.
"You know you've only scratched the surface. You haven't seriously studied my Space Great Dao at all. If you had spent more time studying it properly, you wouldn't still be stuck at this level."
Yangmei's words carried a hint of disappointment and frustration, but Xiang Dong had to admit it was true, leaving him speechless and unable to refute them.
"Besides, you already possess too many and too varied Principle, so this is out of the question."
"Tch, fine, don't accept it then. You can beg me later, but I still won't bow down."
Xiang Dong curled his lip.
Yangmei didn't press the matter further. She escorted Xiang Dong to the foot of Buzhou Mountain and then left.
"Young friend, farewell. I'll go inform the others that we'll meet again on the day of the ministry."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
