Chen Shi'an emerged from the Black Prison, returned to his residence, and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed.
The Mind Seizing Art required a Mind Cultivator to reach the third grade before they could practice it.
He had just raised his Mind Power cultivation to the third grade. If he did not practice it now, what was he waiting for?
The Soul Searching Hand and the Mind Seizing Art had things in common.
With his experience practicing the Soul Searching Hand, Chen Shi'an progressed noticeably faster when practicing the Mind Seizing Art.
In less than four hours, he had mastered the Mind Seizing Art.
By then, it was nearly noon.
He ended his cultivation and sent the Blood-Clad Guard to fetch Tong Xiao.
A short while later, Tong Xiao strode into Chen Shi'an's residence.
Chen Shi'an sat in the courtyard pavilion, feeding the fish in the pond.
"Sect Master, you wanted to see me?" Tong Xiao bowed respectfully to Chen Shi'an.
Chen Shi'an scattered the entire handful of fish feed into the pond and asked quietly, "How is the sect's recruitment of disciples coming along?"
Tong Xiao promptly replied, "We're secretly seeking out promising Prospective Disciples suited to cultivating the Martial Dao."
"And we're not limiting ourselves to Desolate Suppression City. We've also gone to the surrounding cities, hoping to bring more promising Martial Dao Prospective Disciples into the sect."
"As for Prospective Disciples suited to alchemy, we're recruiting openly as well."
"As you instructed, Sect Master, we're putting these Prospective Disciples for alchemy through extremely strict screening."
"We examine not only their talent for alchemy, but also their character and disposition, and, above all, their backgrounds. We absolutely won't allow the other factions in Desolate Suppression City to plant their people in our Earth Pill Sect again."
