Without sufficient cultivation resources, he could not undertake the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation that lay ahead.
He was unlikely to obtain these things from the Heaven Mending Pavilion. After all, Shi Yi belonged to the Martial King Manor and could not become the Heaven Mending Pavilion's inheritor. The Pavilion Master had already done an extraordinary amount to help him.
