Sam looked around and saw that many people are looking at him. The nascent stage cultivators who are eliminated also, just came along with him.

This means, they are not just sent away earlier just because they are eliminated.

They are given a chance to cultivate in the palace. The spiritual energy is purer and denser there and it is hard to find a place like that within the planet.

Sam and the chosen from the beast faction Akhil exchanged a glance and nodded at each other. Even though, they don't have any form of friendship, the words of Sanchez are still ringing in their minds.

Since, they would be facing each other and meeting often, there is no need for them to evasive to each other. Even if they cannot become friends, they can at least be acquaintances.

Sam started walking wanting to leave, but the grand elder stopped him and said.

"Please stay, young friend. The Beast faction is going to arrange a banquet on the occasion of the palace of inheritance. We would like to extend an invitation to you."

While speaking, his spiritual sense trying desperately to see what Sam's face looks like, but the formation is not letting him. Because, Sam actually just stacked upon layers and layers of concealment formations.

Even if the person has enough patience to by pass all of them, due to the energy flow of formations, the spiritual sense will be distorted and deviated. The bypassing is actually easy, but to concentrate on bypassing this many will make his head explode.

"I am not interested."

Sam said calmly and turned around to leave.

"Young friend, are you looking down on the Beast faction? How can you reject us like that? Particularly in front of all our subordinate empires."

Sam frowned and then only noticed that a Nascent stage cultivator who came to the Palace of inheritances is looking at him. These guys didn't have a lot of treasures, but they knew that Sam and the rest who has come last must have gotten many more treasures than them.

So, they wanted to see if they can get their hands on them. Even though, the palace of inheritance states that they shouldn't force anyone to give them or take them by force, what if the other party is 'giving up' willingly or they made a 'fair trade'?

Sam could sense that these two fellows doesn't have any good intentions. He doesn't want to gain attention though, the character he created has come to the beast faction without any signs and will leave the beast faction without any signs. He doesn't want to gain unwanted attention and be in the eyes of other people.

There is no way, he would let them have an opportunity to spend more time with him.

"I have many things to attend. I don't want to trouble you. Thanks for the invitation anyway."

When Sam said this, the Grand elder frowned. He felt like Sam is too haughty and too arrogant. How can he be so arrogant to not give face to the Grand elder of the academy? By this time the emperors are looking at him.

He blocked Sam's way and said.

"Young friend, you are coming to the banquet. Anyway, you couldn't handle the treasures you have on you. I heard you stayed for a long time. With treasures of such value, it would be extremely troublesome for you alone. How about you trade some with the Beast faction? We can create an illusion that everything is traded and you would be safe from the greedy people?"

The Grand elder didn't care and revealed his intentions.

Sam felt like he was looking at an idiot. He could feel that the grand elder said all this because of his ego. But does he really not know that is would be throwing mud on his own face?

He was probably thinking that he is powerful to make a junior stay here and trade the items even if he is unwilling to do so.

A Consummate realm cultivator, trying to force a nascent stage cultivator. Talk about overkill.

Sam couldn't be bothered with him anymore and said.

"So, you mean that only if it belongs to beast faction does the items stay safe, or else there is no way they would stay safe with me?"

"Yes."

"Okay then." With that, Sam walked towards the Faction-head, who is busy talking to the Great realm cultivators all this while and only watched the situation just before Sam started walking towards him.

"I want to be a cultivator of the Beast faction. But I don't want my freedom to be restricted. Your beast faction's disciple can testify for my talent."

Sam said as he pointed at Akhil. The latter was stunned for a bit and then understood what Sam was doing, he is trying to use this method to brush off the grand elder.

But the faction head is thinking something else. He was trying to see if Sam really meant it or not, and after sometime he understood that it couldn't possibly the real Sam. It is just Sam trying to brush off the grand elder and create an alibi for this character.

The Faction-head nodded and said. "We accept."

"Then I would like to ask the permission of the Faction-head for something. I want to go to the Kali empire of the Beast faction, to temper myself. I would like to get permission."

"Sure. You can use the Space gate." Sai said nonchalantly with an expression showing that he didn't care. But inside he is cursing the grand elder.

Even though, Sai wanted to get closer to Sam, that is because he is his brother's son. But currently, Sam doesn't have any form of trust towards beast faction.

Even if he stayed closer to the faction, he wouldn't really get to make a relationship with the faction.

At this moment, even though Sam seemed to make a connection with the faction, in actual fact, he is despising it. He already had a bad impression on the faction since the kidnap and all the conflict they had.

Now, this Grand elder and his son are showing the ugly side of the faction.

Sam then turned towards Akhil and threw him a space jade ring.

He didn't speak anything and saw what is inside. He wore a look of surprise. They are some of the weapons they got in the palace.

They are made of Black star gold.

Even though, Akhil stayed in palace for a long time, he didn't really get much. He only had ten sets of weapons at most.

But from the looks of it, Sam seemed to have hoarded all the weapons in the palace. Because, even the weapons in the space jade are more than what Akhil got as spoils.

There is no comparison. As for why he gave this, it is a compensation.

Sam didn't stay anymore, the Grand elder also doesn't have any reason to stop him. He just let him go.

Sam went to the Space gate and left to the Kali and then went back to the City.

After this is over, Sam went straight to his building and asked for the details of the recruitment and the construction details.

He didn't even rest for an hour. He went straight back to work mode. The construction project is almost over. In a week it will be completed. As for bee puppets, they are distributed along all the upper management.

Many new recruits who doesn't have any talent for cultivation or any desire for cultivation are given these pills and sent to the newly placed monitoring division within the city.

There are many old people who are still Novice or even Acolytes. When they heard that Sam's city is recruiting without any bias, they also came to try their luck and to their surprise, they do have jobs. They can just sit there and concentrate on their said monitoring devices, while they could cultivate as soon as their shift is over.

After all, it would be a waste to use some top-class fighters to be inside the monitoring division.

The production has increased and the recruitment also almost hit the target.

Sam is now in a meeting with the three of his friends.

"After the target is hit, close the recruitment. If there are still some people thinking that they can increase their benefits if they waited for long leave them be. We wouldn't recruit anymore unless there are some special circumstances.

As for out next target, I need all of you to send some senior members of the Sam's battalion to the remaining empires. Our first target will the two of our neighbouring empires.

We need to increase the territory.

The major powers wouldn't stay put for long. As soon as the construction projects of these parks reach eighty percent completion, we will be making their move. After all, I cannot let them complete the construction even if it is an incomplete design.

We need to expand our territory. Arc is current cultivating in a secret location and by next year he will be a Consummate realm cultivator."
