Deacon Hall of the Seven Stars Gang.
The air, a mixture of old wood, ink stick, and a faint, almost imperceptible wisp of sandalwood, carried an air of solemnity and stern authority.
The Deacon Hall was not noisy. Only a few disciples dressed in identical uniforms were quietly handling their affairs.
At the head of the hall, a middle-aged deacon with a gaunt face and sharp eyes looked up, his gaze landing on Chu Fan like a bolt of lightning.
"A newly promoted disciple?" The deacon's voice was flat, yet it held a natural authority.
"Yes." Chu Fan took a step forward and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Chu Fan was fortunate enough to break through to the Blood Nourishing Realm today and is here to register."
A Seven Stars Gang disciple standing nearby interjected, "We've already verified it. He has indeed broken through to the Blood Nourishing Realm."
