Chapter 57, Gathering Disciples Extensively
Tongtian’s voice emanated from within Shangqing Palace: "Some Independent Immortals have come to the foot of the mountain seeking the Tao. Take them all as Outer Disciples."
Accept disciples? Bai Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and he promptly inquired: "Master, how many are there to take as disciples? I’m afraid I might make a mistake."
Tongtian’s indifferent voice came through: "You will see when you go down; there aren’t many."
Bai Jin’s heart relaxed; not many was good. He feared a crowd of lawless ones would push him into a storm.
"Accept them all?" Bai Jin asked.
"As long as they have the heart to seek the Tao, they all may enter it."
"Yes!" Bai Jin respectfully replied, his mind not taking it too seriously. It was just a few people, no big deal.
Bai Jin straightened up and commanded: "Shi Ji, come with me!"
"Yes!" Shi Ji followed Bai Jin as they glided towards the base of the mountain.
Duobao suddenly spoke up: "Lingya Immortal, Qiu Shouxian, you both go and assist Bai Jin."
