Bab 131: Dangers of cultivation

In a spacious and luxurious study room, illuminated by strategically positioned Flux Crystals, there stood at the back a large table made of dark marble.

Beneath the table lay a few neatly organized stacks of papers, a seal, and wax for marking the approval of certain matters that would be deliberated throughout the day.

On the left side of the room, several elongated bookshelves were filled with various books: some containing personal records, others discussing rare materials, and still others addressing resource management and human material.

To the right of the room, there was only a spacious tatami mat on the floor. A wooden training dummy, seemingly recently replaced, bore marks of cuts here and there, scattered across the floor and the adjacent wall.
