In a meditation chamber within the hotel, designed specifically for deep contemplation, Xu Ran sat cross-legged with his heart pointing to the sky, eyes closed in cultivation.
Corresponding to blood Qi, Essence Force, and Divine Sense, three types of light—crimson, jade-white, and pale gold—naturally formed a cocoon of energy around his body, manifesting a certain equilibrium among the three powers.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, as the energy cocoon retracted back into Xu Ran's body, his closed eyes slowly opened.
A sharp glint flashed through the depths of his eyes, as the perfect conjunction of Spirit gave rise to an enigmatic charm, making his already handsome features seem as though he was an exiled immortal above the mortal realm.
As he slowly raised a hand, a long sword hanging on the wall of the chamber rang out with a "clang" and flew into his hand, drawn by his vital energy.
