Adam Grant sneered and retorted, “Senior Brother Grant, you just accepted Ryan Bolton—are you trying to scoop up all the best seedlings for yourself? Uncle Howard, my Six Yao Divination is unparalleled through the ages, able to know the heavens above and the earth below, with mysteries even ghosts and gods cannot fathom. Jason Bolton has outstanding talent and is the best successor for the Six Yao Divination!”

As Adam Grant spoke, he turned to Jason Bolton and said, “The Six Yao Divination is an ancient supreme art. Not only can it foresee fortune and misfortune, but it can also defeat enemies invisibly. It is the most profound secret art of our sect.”

“Senior Brother Grant, your Six Yao Divination is just a superficial remnant of the ancient art, incomplete and fragmentary. If you pass this technique to Jason Bolton, wouldn’t that be a waste of a supreme purple seed?”

The one who spoke up in rebuttal was Emily Reed, the well-maintained, youthful, and beautiful head of the Hundred Flowers Hall, who was unexpectedly sharp-tongued—truly proving that no woman is easy to deal with, especially one who has lived for hundreds of years.

“That’s right, Adam Grant, isn’t your Six Yao Divination supposed to know the heavens above and the earth below, to understand the past and the future? Why don’t you just divine where there are more purple seed disciples and go recruit another one? Why fight with us over Jason Bolton?”

Emily Reed’s words were so sharp they could kill, leaving Adam Grant red-faced and speechless. With a sweep of his wide Daoist sleeve, several Six Yao Divination tokens floated before him, as if he was about to perform on the spot.

Chapter 0007: Calmly Seeing the Daoist Heart

When Elder Howard’s gaze swept over them, the four of them felt a chill in their hearts. Since the sect master had made the final decision, Adam Grant and the others said no more. Their hungry eyes flashed with a greenish light, faces plastered with smiles, all throwing flirtatious glances at Jason Bolton.

“Jason Bolton, come visit Grant Hall more often when you have time. You and Ryan Bolton can support each other and make progress together!”

“What’s so great about Grant Hall? Come visit Grant Hall more often, and we can discuss the principles of divination together!”

After they finished speaking, the always-silent Emily Reed suddenly said, “After the three-month entry training, it will be the heart of winter, and the winter plums in Blossom Hall will be in full bloom. Jason Bolton, you are welcome to come to my Blossom Hall to warm some wine and enjoy the flowers together.”

The four great hall masters of the inner hall are second only to the sect master and a few senior elders in the Tai Chu Sect, standing high above. Ordinary disciples could never hope to associate with them. But to win over Jason Bolton, they had thrown all decorum aside. Especially since the Blossom Hall, which usually strictly forbids male disciples from entering, had its hall master Emily Reed personally extend an invitation—this treatment left many male disciples feeling envious.

Countless disciples cast admiring glances at Jason Bolton, and the previously arrogant Ryan Bolton even ran over eagerly, calling him “boss” in a fawning tone, with no trace of his former pride. The vast gulf between gray seed and purple seed was clear from the elders’ reactions.

“Brother Jason Bolton, it is truly my honor to join the Tai Chu Sect alongside you!” Prince George Washington immediately led a group of noble disciples over, surrounding Jason Bolton with great enthusiasm. Whether his eagerness was genuine or feigned was hard to tell.

“Brother Jason Bolton, your family is still in Datian Town on Xiaoyu Mountain, right? I have a newly built royal residence in the capital. If you don’t mind, your parents are welcome to move there. My royal father will surely treat them with the courtesy of a duke or marquis, allowing them to enjoy wealth and honor in their later years.”

Some of the usually aloof noble disciples chimed in, and for a moment, Jason Bolton was praised as the future pillar of Xianglong Kingdom and the leading figure for Tai Chu Sect’s rise to greatness. With Jason Bolton’s purple seed talent, he certainly deserved such accolades.

Many poor disciples lamented why they weren’t purple seeds themselves—if they were, their parents could also enjoy the treatment of dukes and marquises, achieving glory for their ancestors in one leap.

“Next, George Washington!”

With Elder Leaf calling the name, George Washington stepped onto the testing platform.

Every generation, the royal family selects a prince of exceptional talent to enter the Tai Chu Sect and cultivate immortality, bearing the mission of becoming the future guardian deity of the Li Dynasty and ensuring its eternal prosperity. George Washington was the chosen prince of this generation.

Born into royalty, George Washington grew up on all kinds of spiritual medicines—even his bathwater was medicinal. Although he held great secular power, he had little chance of inheriting the throne. In the end, he steeled his heart, wanting to see if his path to immortality would be smoother.

In the mortal world, a prince’s status is supremely noble, but in the cultivation world, where strength is everything, it means little.

Originally, George Washington was very confident in his own talent, but after Jason Bolton was revealed to be a purple seed, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

In the cultivation world, everything is based on strength. Even as a prince, without outstanding strength and potential, he would not be able to stand firm, let alone build his own faction.

Having seen great occasions, George Washington remained calm and composed on the surface, even though he was nervous inside, as he stepped onto the testing platform.

The sun shone brightly, the warm wind was gentle, and in front of the Tai Chu Sect master and many esteemed elders, the [Clairvoyant Immortal Eye] once again burst forth with dazzling purple light, blinding many onlookers!

“Purple... purple seed!”

The elders in the stands, the four great hall masters, and the sect master Elder Howard all stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the brilliantly purple [Clairvoyant Immortal Eye].

“Tai Chu Sect... is our Tai Chu Sect about to defy the heavens?”

“Two purple seeds in a row—this is unimaginable even for the greatest sects. With them, the future of Tai Chu Sect will be glorious!”

“Tsk tsk, Prince George Washington is actually a purple seed. The Li Dynasty is destined for eternal prosperity.”
