Heavenly Seal Hall, Yubei Town.
Dawn had only just begun to break when Wei He turned over and rose from his bed.
Walking to the wooden rack in his bedroom, he carefully searched out some reading insights and notes he had memorized earlier, then reviewed them again.

As the family assets he had accumulated grew ever greater, the secrets he carried on him grew ever thicker.
Wei He increasingly felt that he needed a place specifically for storing private items—a hidden chamber to conceal and use.

Then he integrated some of the new information he could presently access and recorded the useful parts.
Only then did Wei He begin his fixed cultivation for the day.
