Brilliant Purple Talent! Dual Water-Wood Resonance!

"Fellow Daoist, this young master of yours-could it be that he reached the third realm by consuming pills?"

Lü Fangxuan stood calmly below the platform, a voice drifting to his ears.

He turned his head to glance at the man, then said flatly, "What business is it of yours?"

"You! Hmph!"

The cultivator was momentarily at a loss for words. After a cold snort, he could only turn away with a sour expression.

Lü Fangxuan said nothing more, his gaze returning to the platform.

As Yang Lingshu's accompanying cultivator, he knew his young master's capabilities well. His talent could never be merely fourth-grade.

If that was the result, then the young master had done so deliberately, and there was a reason behind it.

On the Dao-Seeking Platform, Pan Qi's expression shifted several times.

"Fourth-grade talent? That's far too low!"

"With talent like that, can he even keep his status as a personal disciple? Even if he barely holds onto the qualification, he won't gain the elders' attention. His path ahead is bleak."

"Alas... all that effort and talk wasted. I calculated everything but missed this. Who could have guessed that the Yang Family would send such a useless waste to join the sect!"

He muttered inwardly.

"Pfft!"

Faced with the surrounding whispers and the gazes of doubt and mockery, Yang Lingshu, standing on the platform, showed no sign of embarrassment. Instead, he let out a sudden laugh.

The crowd was taken aback, thinking to themselves, Is this man truly a fool?

How could he still laugh with such talent?

"What are you laughing at?" Elder Gu asked sternly.

"Apologies, Senior. I just suddenly remembered something amusing."

Though Yang Lingshu said this, he thought to himself, I didn't expect my original body's talent to be so ordinary-not even reaching the third grade.

Before leaving home, Yang Lingqing had discussed with him in detail the intelligence the Yang Family had gathered.

On the surface, this personal disciple slot from the Myriad Transformations Sect was an additional reward from the Wangchao to the Yang Family.

But after discerning the Wangchao's true intentions, Yang Lingqing had analyzed it from that angle and sensed something else.

After two rounds of maneuvering, the Wangchao had already broken up and reorganized the lower-level forces.

So, shouldn't the next scope of this purge and consolidation move to a higher level?

For instance, the various local families and sects?

The Yang Family's loyalty and stance had been tested. Since the Wangchao had granted this personal disciple position, placing one of the Yangs into the Myriad Transformations Sect, it could not be merely a reward.

This move seemed more like another preemptive arrangement.

Combined with the Wangchao's usual methods of handling independent families, Yang Lingqing concluded that this time, the Wangchao might need another bait.

Since it was bait, the more attractive it was, the better. An ordinary lure wouldn't catch a big fish.

Thus, the situation within the Myriad Transformations Sect would differ from the outside world.

Yang Lingshu no longer needed to hide his innate talent. On the contrary, the more outstanding his performance in the sect, the more it would highlight the bait's value, making his position safer.

It was no easy task to play this role in a completely unfamiliar environment. Among the current Yang Family, only Yang Lingshu had the talent and ability to handle it.

The heavy burden Yang Lingrui had once spoken of-he hadn't expected it to fall on his shoulders so soon.

"Alas... I still prefer to keep a low profile, but since I've agreed to the family head, I'll make myself a piece on the board and enter the game!"

As Yang Lingshu mused to himself, the spirit pearl he had refined into his Qi Mansion began to slowly activate.

Elder Gu, hearing his nonsensical remark, frowned with displeasure and was about to scold Yang Lingshu. But just as the words reached his lips, he stopped abruptly.

Because at that moment, the color of the spirit pearl changed again!

Under Elder Gu's astonished gaze, the pearl turned a deep cyan, then a purple radiance burst forth, finally becoming a brilliant purple throughout!

And it didn't end there. Among the Five Elements disciples on the platform, two suddenly opened their eyes and stepped forward almost simultaneously, placing their hands on Yang Lingshu's shoulders.

"What are you doing, Junior Brother? His spiritual affinity is with water!"

"Do you think I'm blind, Senior Brother? This is clearly an affinity with wood!"

The two argued, unable to agree, and asked Elder Gu to decide.

Elder Gu stepped forward, took Yang Lingshu's wrist, and after a brief examination, his face lit up with joy!

"Excellent! A Dual Water-Wood Resonance!"

At these words, everyone on and off the platform gasped in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, how does my young master seem now?"

Lü Fangxuan turned back with a light smile, looking at the cultivator who had mocked him earlier.

That man was now full of embarrassment. Faced with Lü Fangxuan's question, he could only hurriedly bow and say, "I misspoke earlier. I failed to recognize a true master. I hope you won't hold it against me. After I enter the sect, I will surely bring heavy gifts and personally apologize to Senior Brother Yang."

"That would be best."

Lü Fangxuan nodded and said no more.

On the Dao-Seeking Platform, Pan Qi's expression stiffened. The reversal came too quickly for him to digest.

"Brilliant Purple? The Myriad Transformations Sect hasn't seen a Brilliant Purple in twenty years!"

"He! A boy from a Qi Gathering family, possessing such talent!?"

Pan Qi's heart was still unsettled, his mouth half-open, unable to form words.

Not far from him, the two aristocratic children, a man and a woman, both with purple-grade talent, also showed expressions of shock.

But they reacted quickly. Once the brilliant purple color on the spirit pearl stabilized, they immediately stepped forward and bowed to Yang Lingshu.

"Han Jingyi of the Tuoyue City Han Family, greetings, Fellow Daoist."

"Ge Yan of the Molin City Ge Family, greetings, Fellow Daoist."

Seeing this, Yang Lingshu withdrew his hand and returned the gesture. "Yang Lingshu of the Songshan Yang Family, greetings to both Fellow Daoists."

Earlier, below the platform, the two had worn proud expressions, looking down on all the other children except each other.

Of course, judging by the results, they indeed had reason to be proud.

Without Yang Lingshu's appearance, Pan Qi, who had the best talent among the others, still fell far short of second-grade talent.

But now, seeing Yang Lingshu's talent test results, they regarded him as one of their own kind.

"Songshan Yang Family?"

Ge Yan hesitated briefly, then asked, "Forgive my boldness, but may I ask, Fellow Daoist, is your family under the He Family..."

"That's correct. Our family was indeed elevated by Lord He Shenglai." Yang Lingshu replied.

At these words, Han Jingyi and Ge Yan showed expressions of understanding.

This explained Yang Lingshu's extraordinary talent. The He Family must have seen his development potential and chosen to invest in the Yang Family early on.

As they were speaking, Elder Gu's ears twitched slightly, as if he had heard something.

A moment later, he smiled at Yang Lingshu. "Yang Lingshu, would you be willing to train under Elder Mo?"

Elder Mo!

Hearing this name, the Five Elements disciples on the platform were all shaken.

He was the master of Xiao Yize, the current senior disciple of the Myriad Transformations Sect! Senior Brother Xiao was the only disciple Elder Mo had taken in the past fifty years. Everyone thought Xiao Yize would be his final closed-door disciple.

But now, Yang Lingshu's appearance had moved this reclusive elder of the Myriad Transformations Sect to once again consider taking on a disciple!
