The deliberately dim space was vast, divided into three tiers of seating. At a glance, it could easily accommodate over a thousand cultivators.
Ling Changqing took a seat in a private, isolated booth. The furnishings were rather simple, consisting of only a Hundred-Year Cold Iron Wood Table and a few chairs.
On the table sat a book-sized Jade Plate and a Gilded Palace Lantern shaped like a Flying Fairy.
Ling Changqing glanced outside. Hundreds of cultivators sat in silence, all uniformly dressed in black robes. Their auras were obscure and hazy, making it impossible to discern their level of cultivation.
