The sect master pondered for a moment and said, "Given his contribution points and cultivation level, he is indeed deserving of a Foundation Establishment Pill. It is true that Junior Brother Gu has the right to secure a Foundation Establishment Pill for his disciple, but as you know, the sect only has three Foundation Establishment Pills in reserve. If Zhao Yi were to take two of them alone, the other peaks would likely harbor resentment, which would not be conducive to the unity and development of the sect. Moreover, even the remaining two pills will not be easy to distribute. Alas! I hope Junior Brother understands."
Although Gu Baifan was also a Golden Core stage patriarch and a former master of Mission Peak, he was well aware of the rivalries between the various peaks. Now, holding a high position, he could not simply act as he pleased; the sect master had to be respected, and the balance among the peaks had to be maintained. With few backup Foundation Establishment Pills left in the sect, it was not the right time to contend for another one for Zhao Yi.
Gu Baifan looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Disciple, you heard that as well. What are your thoughts?"
