"Please, Senior!"
Zhou Xun lifted his foot and stepped inside.
The room was not large, only six or seven zhang across, yet it was exquisitely and elegantly furnished, more like the study of a great scholar from the mortal world.
A tray of incense had also been lit within, refreshing the mind and gladdening the heart.
After Zhou Xun entered, the steward gave a slight bow, then turned and hurried away to report to the chief administrator.
Zhou Xun paced about the room, his gaze casually sweeping over the surroundings. Several ancient and elegant paintings and calligraphic works hung upon the walls.
They depicted landscapes of immortal realms, spirit plants, and exotic beasts. Judging from their lively brushwork and the faint Spirit Energy fluctuations they emitted, they were certainly no ordinary pieces and must have come from the hand of some great master of painting and calligraphy in the cultivation world.
Several books were neatly arranged on a nearby shelf. Upon opening them, he found that they recorded strange tales and anecdotes from the cultivation world, or insights into cultivation.
Just then, two graceful maidservants approached carrying two cups of spirit tea and placed them on the table beside Zhou Xun.
After giving a respectful curtsy, they slowly withdrew.
Zhou Xun sat down, picked up the spirit tea, and slowly savored it.
After waiting for about half the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he heard a set of steady footsteps approaching.
Then the door was gently pushed open, and a chief administrator clad in luxurious brocade robes walked in.
His face was pale and beardless, but his eyes revealed shrewdness and wisdom. A powerful Spirit Energy fluctuation faintly emanated from him—Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation!
