Chapter 0006: The Purple Qi Comes from the East, Astonishing the Immortal Mirror

As the sound of the fallen leaves echoed from the stage, Zhang Kuang, with a heavy expression, walked up to the testing platform. He felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on his heart. If his test results showed that he was a colorless weakling, he would no longer be able to hold his head high in front of Zhang Yang.

He fumbled in his bosom with his plump hand and took out a crystal-clear inner core of a cloud beast. Holding a treasure in each hand, the ancient Yunzi thought about how he was going to give them away, his heart bleeding, yet a smile adorned his face: "Master Uncle, I have been cultivating some black wood in the inner courtyard, which can raise the temperature of the alchemical fire. It is the best material for burning the alchemical fire, and I will send it to you later. Also, this cloud beast inner core can enhance the success rate of alchemy. As long as you can accept these, and refine the Feather Transformation Pill, leading the Taichu Sect to an even more glorious and prosperous future, what does it matter for me, Gu Yunzi, to present such trifles! I sincerely hope that you, considering the earnest heart of your disciple, will not refuse."

Huang Long Zhenren still wanted to refuse, but Gu Yunzi pushed the Yun Beast's inner elixir and the Xianling grass into his hands.

Upon reaching this point, he strode onto the testing platform with his head held high, casting a disdainful glare at Zhang Yang, who was lost in various flattery, and thought to himself: "Kid, I was your boss before, and I will be again in the future"

Gu Yun stared blankly at Zhang Kuang, having just exchanged so many resources for a gray seed, and in the blink of an eye, a purple seed appeared! Oh my celestial ancestor! Are you playing tricks on me? A gray seed is already rare, how could a purple seed appear? ... Wasn't my recent investment in vain?

Suffocation, the Yellow Dragon True Man feels a sense of suffocation, the rise of the Taichu Sect, the true brilliance, the history of becoming the supreme great religion, is actually to be completed by my hands? Ancestors of all generations! Have you seen this? Our Taichu Sect has borne the purple seed!

Brother Zhang, ever since I saw you last night, I have wanted to be with you. From now on, you will be my leader

At that moment, everyone thought they were hallucinating and involuntarily rubbed their eyes. Indeed, the "Mingjian Immortal Eye" emitted a brilliant purple light

Among this group of disciples, there is already one gray immortal seed, which has greatly delighted Master Huang Long and others. The remaining disciples do not hold much hope; the emergence of one gray immortal seed is already a blessing from heaven. One should not be too greedy in life, should one

Just as Gu Yunzi was about to speak, the usually open-minded Buzhuzi suddenly stood up and said with a trembling voice: "Master Huanglong, this Zhang Kuang must come to my Buzhu Hall. Buzhu Hall places great importance on the cultivation of the disciples' state of mind. Every disciple of Buzhu Hall possesses a very stable temperament. This child Zhang Kuang has a sharp personality, and I am certain I can retain the characteristics of his nature and guide him..."

Heimu, Cloud Beast Inner Pill, and Millennium Saliva Spirit Grass, which one is not a top-tier alchemical material? Bi Zhuzhi, who prides himself as the foremost alchemist of the Taichu Sect, felt as if countless cat claws were scratching at his heart. He secretly cursed Gu Yunzi, this fat man, for often lamenting his poverty in front of several elders, yet his family assets were so abundant. Truly cunning and shrewd, one cannot judge a person by their appearance

Great! Wonderful! Zhang Yang could not help but laugh heartily, his proud gaze sweeping over all the others waiting for the test, finally resting on Qin Haoxuan. Just wait! In the past, you broke a few of my ribs to help someone else stand out. Once I master my spiritual techniques, I will break every bone in your body.

With the purple seed, how could a disciple of the gray seed, obtained at such a great cost, have any hope of becoming the sect leader? No, I must fight for it once more!

These seemingly otherworldly cultivators, no matter how powerful their magic or how long their lives, are still human. They possess emotions and desires, as well as greed and selfish thoughts. This is a clear reflection of the mundane world, where certain human flaws are even more pronounced than in ordinary society

Purple seed ... ... is really the purple seed ... ...

Gu Yun looked at Zhang Yang below the stage and suddenly felt that this proud disciple, who had always been pleasing to the eye, was now so annoying. He couldn't help but wish to slap himself twice. If he hadn't exchanged that Xian Ling Grass for Zhang Yang, perhaps he could have used it to take this purple seed as a disciple.

Xia Yunzi mocked and retorted: "Senior Brother Gu Yun, you have just taken in Zhang Yang; are you trying to gather all the good talents in one basket? Master Huanglong, my Six Lines divination is unparalleled throughout history, possessing the ability to comprehend the world and the mysteries of the divine. Zhang is exceptionally gifted, and he is indeed the best successor to the Six Lines divination!"

The phrase "difficult to refuse the warm invitation" from Gu Yunzi, and the response "to decline it would be disrespectful" from Huanglong Zhenren, naturally led to the rare seedling of Zhang Yang falling under the banner of Gu Yuntang

The one who spoke out in rebuttal was Su Baihua, the well-preserved and youthful-looking master of Baihua Hall, whose unexpectedly harsh demeanor deeply confirmed the notion that no woman is easy to provoke, especially an old woman who has lived for several hundred years

Indeed, boss! Our leader is a remarkable figure of the Gray Immortal Seed. It is said that the Master Huanglong, when he first entered the path, was also of the Gray Immortal Seed! In the future, our boss will also be a significant person at the helm of the Taichu Sect!

The meaning of the Yellow Dragon True Man is quite clear; although the Lingcao herb is excellent, it is not sufficient to exchange for a disciple of the gray immortal seed.

Su Baihua's words were so sharp they could kill, leaving Xia Yunzi blushing furiously. With a swift motion of his wide sleeves, several hexagram symbols floated before him, and it seemed he was about to perform right then and there

Xia Yunzi said, turning to Zhang Kuang, "The Six Lines Divination is an ancient esoteric art, which not only allows one to foresee fortune and misfortune but also enables one to defeat the enemy invisibly. It is the most profound secret art of our school"

Brother Zhang Yang, what a wonderful fate...

"How can this be? This Yanzhiling herb is something you cherish; how could I accept such a precious item from you?" The Huanglong Zhenren feigned refusal with a serious expression, yet his gaze remained fixed on the Yanzhiling herb without wavering.

Gu Yunzi secretly lamented, blaming himself for being too stingy in the past. The Master Uncle is clearly intent on taking a hefty toll on him! However, for the sake of the gray-clad disciples and to ensure that Gu Yuntang has a future leader, he decided to go all out!

Purple Seed ... ... Purple Seed! Supreme Purple Seed!

Others did not expect that Gu Yunzi would resort to such despicable means, bribing the sect leader to accept this rare gray immortal seed disciple that comes once in a hundred years. While feeling indignant, they could only lament, as they had nothing more precious than the Cloud Beast's inner elixir and the Saliva Spirit Grass in their hands. They could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yang fell into Gu Yunzi's grasp

Huang Long Zhenren widened his eyes and almost shouted in disbelief, his eyes radiating an incredible joy that was hard to believe. The calmness cultivated over a century, the Dao heart that remained unshaken even when the sky fell before him, completely collapsed in that instant.

Gu Yunzi took out a white jade bottle, and the others immediately sensed that something was amiss. Xia Yunzi and the others quickly realized Gu Yunzi's intentions and cursed inwardly: "Your sister! Your mother! Your whole family! This bastard Gu Yun is trying to bribe the sect leader!"

This is indeed a gray fairy seed! It is highly likely to be the future sect leader

Indeed, the eyes of the Yellow Dragon True Man brightened, and his gaze was fixed on the Saliva Spirit Herb, unable to look away. At his level of cultivation, it was quite difficult to advance further. However, with this Saliva Spirit Herb, he could refine the ancient elixir formula and potentially break through another realm within a century.

Zhang Yang stepped down from the testing platform, and Prince Li Jing immediately approached with a group of people, cupping his hands in salute: "Congratulations, congratulations! Brother Zhang Yang, on your future path to immortality, you must lend us a helping hand a few times."

Senior Brother Xia Yun, your Six Lines divination is merely a superficial understanding of the ancient Six Lines divination, incomplete and flawed. Passing this technique to Zhang Kuang would be a waste of a supreme purple seed

Nonsense! Look at your temperament, it's so impatient. How can you guarantee that you can teach someone as arrogant as Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang's nature suits me very well, coming to Guyun Hall is the best!" Gu Yunzi, fearing that Huang Long Zhenren would be swayed by Bi Zhuzi, began to refute angrily, completely losing any semblance of an immortal's demeanor: "Guyun Hall doesn't cultivate any nonsense state of mind; strength is what ensures a smooth journey on the path of cultivation!"

Little did anyone know, just as Zhang Kuang's hand made contact with the "Mingjian Immortal Eye," a strong and brilliant purple light erupted, illuminating half the sky and piercing the hearts of everyone present

Becoming the master of the disciples of the Purple Seed is a glory that is sufficient to be recorded in history and shine for a thousand years. Even if one achieves nothing, the history of the Taichu Sect will still make a significant note of him

Zhang Yang looked up at the fierce competition among the many elders, a smug expression appearing on his face. It seems that this gray immortal seed is indeed quite rare! With so many prominent figures vying for it, I fear that from this moment on, I will be on the fast track to success! Not only will I be able to deal with Qin Haoxuan, but even Zhang Kuang? After the test of the immortal seed, they might even turn around and call me their boss!

Indeed, Xia Yunzi, your six-line divination is said to possess the ability to understand the world and comprehend the past and future. Why not simply calculate where there are still disciples of the Purple Seed and recruit one more? Why must you compete with us for arrogance?

What is the Supreme Purple Seed

Arrogant, taking the stage

Upon meeting Brother Zhang Yang yesterday, I immediately felt his remarkable presence, a true dragon among men, certainly not an ordinary individual! In the future, as fellow disciples, I kindly ask Brother Zhang to offer more guidance!

Master Huanglong, I recently found a Xianling herb on Canglan Mountain. Unfortunately, my understanding of alchemy is limited, and if I were to use it for pill refining, it would be a waste of a precious resource

Huang Long Zhenren rubbed his eyes vigorously; this was not an illusion, the purple seed was right in front of him! He had thought that in his lifetime, being able to see a green seed would be enough to die with his eyes closed, yet unexpectedly, he encountered many leaders of supreme sects, and the purple seed that he would never have seen in his life!

The Huanglong Zhenren, who holds the reins of the Taichu Sect, possesses strength that renders him impervious to the criticisms of others. Should he refine the ancient elixir formula, his power would ascend to a higher level, thereby amplifying his influence even further

Upon witnessing Huang Long Zhenren accepting the bribe from Gu Yunzi and placing Zhang Yang under his tutelage, others did not dare to voice any objections, and Qin Haoxuan suddenly understood.

Even if all the disciples that follow are weaklings, Master Huanglong would still wake up laughing from his dreams

However, after a moment of arrogance, I thought to myself that my performance during the initial test was far better than Zhang Yang's. How could my aptitude possibly be inferior to his? Throughout my life, in every aspect, I have always been stronger than him

Qin Haoxuan frowned slightly at Zhang Yang's disdainful gaze. How could such a person possess such good qualifications? Is it that heaven is blind? Or perhaps his ancestors are buried well? Looking at his arrogant demeanor, so lacking in composure, his achievements on the vast path of immortality in the future will be limited

Strength! Your strength is linked to your power of discourse! The stronger your strength, the greater your power of discourse!

Purple seed

However, Huang Long Zhenren nodded, and they could only sigh. The decision of the sect leader was not something they dared to refute

"Well said, well said." Zhang Yang's lips curled into a smug smile, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the distance, remaining unfazed by the sullen expression of Zhang Kuang, whose face was as dark as water. What was this elder brother still waiting for? Did he really think he would become a Gray Seed?

Xia Yunzi sighed in regret, thinking that if this talented individual were to come under his tutelage, his unparalleled Six Lines divination would have a successor. Perhaps with this person's aptitude, this unique discipline could be further developed and brought to greater heights

If it were something else, the Yellow Dragon True Man might not be interested, but this millennium-old Xianling Grass happens to be an extremely important ingredient in an ancient elixir formula. The Yellow Dragon True Man has hinted multiple times about wanting to exchange something else for this Xianling Grass from Ancient Yunzi. This fellow has been pretending to be mad and foolish, yet unexpectedly, in order to take Zhang Yang as his disciple, he is willing to part with such a significant asset

Even in the most supreme of religions, it is rare to find a single inheritor of the Purple Seed after thousands of years! The emergence of such an inheritor is sufficient to provoke a fierce struggle between two sects for possession.

A celestial sect possessing the supreme purple seed, if allowed to fully mature, could even provide the sect with the opportunity to ascend to the status of a supreme great teaching in the future! Such a great teaching is far beyond what the Taichu Sect can compare to.
