Chapter 229
The treasure building granted by the dynasty contained six floors.
The top floor served as the meeting hall, while the third to fifth floors held guest rooms. The first two floors accommodated daily receptions.
The layout of floors three to five resembled the celestial guesthouse where Yang Lingrui and others had stayed in the imperial capital, offering both standard rooms and cave dwellings. These three floors contained forty-five rooms divided into three grades based on their Gathering Qi formations.
The lower-grade tripled spiritual energy, mid-grade quintupled it, and upper-grade octupled it.
These formations had been pre-built by dynasty craftsmen into the structure itself. No array tokens were required – simply inserting spiritual crystals activated them.
On the first floor, Wei Xinqing and Wu Tong received five dynasty officials. Three others conversed with Old Yu on the second floor.
Chen Yang currently hid within Old Yu’s sleeve. His entire body wrapped in mysterious power, he remained undetectable even to Xuan Zhou at the peak of Condensing Essence, let alone the three other Condensing Essence cultivators present.
His presence stemmed from Gao Hui’s prior warning – the dynasty would send a Talisman Mountain master to assess the Yang Family’s Talisman Inheritance during their Noble Family Order ceremony. All families in Tiger-Chasing territory needed their cultivation arts registered.
"This is Jiang Chunan from Talisman Mountain," a dynasty official introduced the green-robed man beside him. The Condensing Essence talisman master appeared similar in age to Old Yu.
