Bai Ye, Mu Xianling, and the three members of the Tang Family were definitely going to stick with Tang Yi, so when they saw him remain still, they didn’t move either.
As time dragged on, they were the only ones left.
It wasn’t just Mu Xianling and the others who were getting anxious; the members of the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces were on edge as well. They were extremely curious to see which Palace Tang Yi would join, and each of them desperately hoped it would be theirs.
However, Tang Yi stood his ground without making a choice, as if he were an old monk deep in meditation.
The calmer Tang Yi appeared, the more anxious the various Palaces became. A score of forty-three Level 5 Demon Beast Crystals—with such Talent, who wouldn’t want to take him in as a disciple?
Furthermore, Tang Yi was very likely the candidate who had placed second on the Outer Mansion’s rankings. Whoever got Tang Yi would be getting a disciple who ranked second in the entire West Mansion. Who wouldn’t want such a blessing to fall right into their lap?
Who wouldn’t want to dominate the Outer Mansion rankings and see their own disciples’ names on the list?
"Tang Yi, come to our Qian Palace! We are powerful, the leader of the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces. As long as you join us, we will pour our resources into you, allowing your Talent to be put to its most effective use! Your strength will advance by leaps and bounds! Your name will echo throughout the Western Domain!"
Quan Xinyuan, the Palace Master of Qian Palace, was the first who could no longer hold back. He extended an invitation to Tang Yi, making a solemn promise. His words were filled with blatant temptation, enough to stir anyone’s heart.
An uproar went through the crowd!
Hearing the Palace Master of Qian Palace, Quan Xinyuan, actually make such a promise to Tang Yi, the candidates erupted in an uproar. They were shocked, but more than that, they were incredibly envious of Tang Yi for receiving such treatment from Qian Palace.
As the head of the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces, Qian Palace had the right to be arrogant. Toward other candidates, they always had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, never needing to offer special conditions to attract them like Lii Palace and Kan Palace did.
If you came, you came. If you didn’t, Qian Palace suffered no loss; their strength would still stand above the other Seven Palaces.
Therefore, aside from a few genius candidates they contacted privately, Qian Palace never needed to compete with the other Seven Palaces or make promises during the official selection. Its reputation as the strongest in the Outer Mansion was enough to attract a flood of applicants.
Yet now, faced with Tang Yi, even the mighty Qian Palace had broken its silence and extended an olive branch!
Who could possibly not be envious of such treatment?
After today, Tang Yi’s name was sure to resound throughout the West Mansion Outer Mansion, and it might even spread to the Inner Mansion!
Yuh Jili, who had already chosen Qian Palace, now had an ashen expression on his face. The conditions he had negotiated upon entering Qian Palace were nowhere near as generous as what Tang Yi was being offered; he had only received some Cultivation Resources and a few days of training time in a special location.
Tang Yi, however, had been promised a commitment from Qian Palace to have resources poured into him!
In other words, as long as Tang Yi joined Qian Palace, he would be given priority for any Cultivation Resources he wanted in the future. This was treatment fit for a Crown Prince, like being raised as their own son. It was worlds better than what Yuh Jili had received.
It’s said that comparing oneself to others only leads to anger, and Yuh Jili was practically fuming.
However, it didn’t end there.
"No, Tang Yi, you should come to our Lii Palace! Our Lii Palace is a perfect fit for your disposition. The moment you join us, we will immediately gift you an Earth Tier Lower Grade Treasure Sword, as well as an Earth Tier Lower Grade Sword Skill."
Seeing Qian Palace make a move, the Palace Master of Lii Palace refused to be outdone and laid out his own conditions for Tang Yi.
"An Earth Tier Treasure Sword and an Earth Tier Sword Skill?"
The crowd was in an uproar once more!
Hearing the conditions the Palace Master of Lii Palace offered Tang Yi, the crowd was once again stunned...
For ordinary candidates, Lii Palace had only offered a Profound Tier Sword Skill and a Profound Tier Treasure Sword. But for Tang Yi, they had raised the offer by an entire tier!
’These... These conditions from Lii Palace aren’t much worse than Qian Palace’s, are they?’
An Earth Tier Treasure Sword and an Earth Tier Sword Skill were rare items even among the Outer Mansion’s Eight Palaces.
Although the difference might not seem that great, could Profound Tier and Earth Tier even be compared? The difference in value was astronomical! And the difference in power was like night and day!
"No, Tang Yi, you should come to our Gen Palace! We can provide you with the best materials to help you forge your own ultimate Weapon Equipment. And I guarantee that this Equipment’s grade will absolutely surpass Earth Tier Lower Grade—plus, you’ll forge it with your own hands!" Not wanting to be left behind, the Palace Master of Gen Palace called out to Tang Yi.
"WOW!"
"Forge your own ultimate Equipment!"
"Gen Palace is providing the materials!"
"And a grade that surpasses Earth Tier Lower Grade!"
The conditions offered by Gen Palace once again caused an uproar among the people of the West Mansion.
It seemed the Palace Master of Gen Palace was also going all-in on Tang Yi, willing to part with even the best materials for him to use! In the hands of a Master Forger, fine materials could become Divine Artifacts in the making. That he was willing to offer them up showed just how highly he regarded Tang Yi.
"Tang Yi, we at Kan Palace also think very highly of you. If you join us, we are willing to give you a Six Lotus Birth Pearl Pill! And just like Qian Palace, we are willing to pour our resources into you. We will do our utmost to satisfy your requests for Low and Mid-Level Pills!" the Palace Master of Kan Palace said in a sincere tone.
The Six Lotus Birth Pearl Pill, upon consumption, would cleanse one’s marrow, refine their blood, and forge their bones. One’s Martial Arts Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, allowing them to be reborn six times over. It was a Top-Grade Pill that money couldn’t buy.
This kind of Top-Grade Pill was incredibly difficult to concoct. Typically, Kan Palace would only use it to reward disciples who had made great contributions, or to help exceptionally talented disciples break through their bottlenecks.
Yet now, Kan Palace was willing to offer this Pill as a condition for Tang Yi to join them. The offer was so shocking it made people’s eyes pop out of their heads!
"Tang Yi, we at Xun Palace don’t deal in empty words. You come to us, and we will open the Celestial Evil Dojo for you anytime. You can cultivate there as you please, and your Cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds!" the Palace Master of Xun Palace said coolly, his determination to win Tang Yi over clear.
Xun Palace specialized in the Killing Dao, and the Celestial Evil Dojo was one of its special sites. It was an ancient battlefield where countless Martial Artists had died, leaving behind their unyielding remains. As a result, the place was saturated with a dense killing intent and Unyielding Battle Intent. For disciples who cultivated the Killing Dao, it was nothing short of a Sacred Land for cultivation.
Just as the Palace Master of Xun Palace had said, by entering the Celestial Evil Dojo, one’s Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. For an ordinary person cultivating inside, their Martial Arts Level would skyrocket as if they were riding a rocket.
However, opening the Celestial Evil Dojo for even a single day required an immense amount of Energy, and the cost was extremely high.
If it were to be kept open for a month straight, forget Xun Palace—even the West Mansion Inner Mansion would feel the strain!
And now, the Palace Master of Xun Palace was promising to open the Celestial Evil Dojo for Tang Yi at any time! This was tantamount to saying that if Tang Yi came to Xun Palace, the entire place would be his personal backyard. He could go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and squander their resources however he pleased!
For Xun Palace to be willing to pay such a price in exchange for Tang Yi’s favor, it was clear just how highly they valued him, how determined they were to have him, and how much resolve they had put behind their offer!
