Not far away, Dian Feng had long since been struck speechless with envy.
As the personal disciple of an elder of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, he would undoubtedly enjoy far better treatment than the disciples of the Genius Camp.
With extraordinary talent and resources poured into him, Xuan Yi's rise was already unstoppable.
However, judging by the rumors, Xuan Yi's background was far from simple. He probably had no shortage of cultivation resources.
He must have come for the Heaven Mending Technique. Does he want to enter the Ancient Sacred Academy? Dian Feng wondered.
"Xuan Yi, choose me. I specialize in pill refinement, and I have quite a few pills suited to your current realm." Before Shi Yi could speak, an elder of the Heaven Mending Pavilion addressed him with a smile.
The other elders promptly spoke up as well, explaining the advantages of choosing them.
Even Tao Ye, an elder of considerable standing, could not resist putting in a few words for himself.
Shi Yi wore the Holeless Mask. The elders could neither see his expression nor read his eyes.
Only after the elders quieted down did Shi Yi announce his choice.
"Xuan Yi thanks all the elders for your favor. I am deeply honored. However, if I must choose a master, I would like to choose the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Mending Pavilion."
It was not that he looked down on these elders. Rather, Shi Yi needed an expert like the Pavilion Master to help reinforce the sealing power on his mask, lest someone discover his true identity.
As his words fell, all the elders went silent. They had assumed Shi Yi would choose one of them, only for him to choose the Pavilion Master outright.
Was he qualified to become the Pavilion Master's disciple? Of course
