The title “Princess” seemed to possess some kind of magical power. The originally somewhat scattered outer sect disciples all straightened up immediately. The queue waiting for the Spirit Qi compatibility test also suddenly became much neater.
In name, all three master manors including the Imperial Master Mansion serve the royal family of Great Zhao. As a proper royal relative, the Princess’ status is rather effective among disciples of the master house, especially those of outer sects.
Qi Tian turned his head curiously, wanting to see what this Princess, who could cause such a big commotion, looked like.
At that moment, a group of guards rushed into the corridor of Huangque Hall, standing on both sides and isolating a vacant pathway in the middle. A moment later, a group of dozen or so young men and women slowly walked past the door of the testing room.
In this group of young men and women, the one at the very front was a tall girl. Dressed in a silver robe embroidered with peonies and eight snakes with four claws, she had passed the doorway in a flash. Qi Tian was unable to see her face clearly, but he had a vivid impression of her slender jade legs barely visible under the robe.
Though Qi Tian didn’t get a good look at the Princess’s face, he did spot two familiar figures in the crowd, both of whom he had previously defeated. One was Huang Yaozu and the other was Liu Haoshuai. He wondered how they managed to get close to the Princess.
Qi Tian diverted his gaze. The life of a Princess was too far removed from his own. He only focused on his own affairs. First, he needed to measure his Spirit Qi compatibility.
There were not many people ahead of Qi Tian in line, no more than ten. It took about five minutes for each person to complete the test. Just as it was almost Qi Tian’s turn, a man ran in from outside the testing room, cupping one hand in the other before his chest to the inner sect disciple in charge of testing, and said, “Brother, the Lord has ordered that you stop the test immediately and move the Spirit Instrument outside.”
Of course, as a large hall, Huangque Hall had a Lord. His name was Han Chengnuo. He was almost at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. He usually focused on cultivating and didn’t manage external affairs. However, this didn’t mean he did not command great respect in the Huangque Hall. On the contrary, his authority was absolute there. No outer sect disciple or inner sect disciple working in the Huangque Hall dared to defy Han Chengnuo’s orders.

The inner sect disciple in charge of the Spirit Instrument, Chen Ziyu, quickly responded. Then, he waved at Qi Tian and the others, saying, “That’s it for today’s test. You all disperse quickly. Come back tomorrow.”
Qi Tian quickly said, “Brother, it’s almost my turn. Can you let me finish the test first? I have something to do tomorrow and can’t come.”
Chen Ziyu snorted coldly, saying, “Whether you can come or not tomorrow is none of my business. If I defy the orders of the Lord now, I’ll be in big trouble. Now leave! If you have any complaints, I’ll have the test fee you paid returned to you.”
Such a change of events was unexpected for Qi Tian. He could only sigh, turn around, and walk out of the testing room along with the other outer sect disciples. As he was about to leave Huangque Hall through the corridor, a loud voice came from outside the main gate, “All disciples of Huangque Hall, listen! I am Han Chengnuo. I order you to gather in front of Huangque Hall immediately. I’m giving you five minutes. If you are late, bear your own consequences.”
Han Chengnuo’s words still took effect. All outer sect disciples nearby, as well as those within the National Master’s Manor who heard Han Chengnuo’s summons, rushed over. In a short while, over a thousand people, less than two thousand, gathered in front of Huangque Hall, crowding the large area, creating quite a lively scene.
The outer sect disciples saw that a platform had been set up in front of Huangque Hall at some point. Lord Han Chengnuo stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent. Han Chengnuo seemed to be nearly thirty years old. He was not very tall and didn’t stand out much. However, when he stood there in silence, not a single one of the almost two thousand people below dared to speak. This was the result of Han Chengnuo’s long-standing repute; his strength was the greatest in Huangque Hall and no one dared challenge his authority.
Five minutes passed quickly and Han Chengnuo did not wait any further. He began to speak. His voice was not loud, but every word was clearly audible, as if someone delivered every word right to everyone’s ears. “I have summoned everyone here for two reasons. First, in a few days, the selection battle for our Imperial Master Mansion’s county masters will take place. Guests from around the world will gather here. Many of them are distinguished guests who have come to watch this grand event. I remind you all to behave yourselves and abide by the manor’s rules. Do not offend any distinguished guests. Of course, we shouldn’t compromise the dignity of our Imperial Master Mansion either. If anyone disgraces our Imperial Master Mansion, you can pack up your things and get out of Huangque Hall. Go wherever you want. Huangque Hall does not need a waste like you. Did you all hear clearly?”
Almost two thousand outer sect disciples answered loudly, their voices shaking the skies.
Han Chengnuo nodded in satisfaction, saying: “The second matter, I will now introduce to you a distinguished guest, a real distinguished guest of our Imperial Master Mansion. Starting from the time of her great grandfather, she has always been one of the most staunch allies of our Imperial Master Mansion. When her father, King Zhangbei, was young, he diligently cultivated at our Imperial Master Mansion for ten years. Now, let us welcome with applause the eldest legitimate daughter of King Zhangbei, Princess Zhao Qian.”
Immediately, there was an applause louder than before from the audience.
Han Chengnuo shook his head with a bitter smile, indeed, the princess was more popular than he was.
Zhao Qian had been standing on the stage earlier. She moved like a lotus flower, climbed onto the high platform, bowed her fists, saluted Han Chengnuo, then turned around and saluted the disciples below. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” she said.
Oh…
The princess’s courtesy and peerless demeanor instantly won the hearts of countless young men below, who burst into cheers and applause.
From the stage below, Qi Tian looked at Princess Zhao Qian a few times. Zhao Qian looked youthful, with a high ponytail, and apart from her royal robe, there wasn’t anything extraordinarily luxurious. She was tall, with a pair of straight long legs hidden under the robe, slender waist, prominent chest, pretty sizable, her neck as white as a swan’s, her cute face with large eyes as clear as a pool, very touching, her eyelashes fluttered, which was attractive.
Han Chengnuo waved his hand to calm down the cheering crowd. When everyone below was once again silent, he said, “The princess has come here to bring you benefits. Show me good performance later, and don’t disgrace our Imperial Master Mansion. Princess, I will leave this to you, if there is anything, you can call me.”
“Thank you, Uncle Master.” Zhao Qian was very respectful to Han Chengnuo, showing no air of being a princess.
Han Chengnuo jumped off the stage and returned to his dedicated cultivating room in Huangque Hall for his closed-door cultivation.
Suddenly, only Zhao Qian was left on the stage. Her bright and charming eyes swept the audience below, and the young men and women, especially the young men, felt a sense of their breath stopping.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Qian’s mouth. Her every move, even the palace maid who was responsible for court etiquette, could not fault it. “I have come here, on behalf of my father, to reward talents for the country. If any of you here feel that you are superior and have a unique advantage in cultivation, and can far surpass your fellow disciples, then you can come on stage to demonstrate in front of me. If I verify it to be true, then I will not be stingy with rewards from King Zhangbei Manor. Come forward.”
Zhao Qian waved her hand, and several guards holding brocade boxes climbed onto the stage.
Zhao Qian walked to the first guard, opened the brocade box in his hand, and immediately revealed a ginseng with complete roots. “A wild mountain ginseng of five hundred years, weighing two ounces and three coins. The effect of this wild mountain ginseng is at least equivalent to twenty middle-grade Essence Qi Pills.”
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion from the audience. Many of them were not very clear about the value of wild ginseng, but they were quite clear about the value of twenty middle-grade Essence Qi Pills. But Zhao Qian was talking about the medicinal effect, not the value. In this way, it means that the value of this wild ginseng far exceeds twenty middle-grade Essence Qi Pills, the latter are divided into twenty, while the wild ginseng is concentrated in one. Just like diamonds, twenty one-carat diamonds will never compare to a twenty-carat diamond, the difference is not a little bit.
Zhao Qian walked to the second guard, similarly opened the brocade box, and inside was a palm-sized brocade bag. “This is a Hundred Treasures Pouch, also known as a Storage Bag, a treasure made by the Royal Court, with half a cubic meter of storage space.”
If there was still some discussion earlier, now there was just loud noise below the stage. The Storage Bag, for these outer disciples, is a prohibitively expensive equipment. They had only heard of such things, but they had never seen them. They also knew that even many inner sect disciples and elite disciples do not have such a treasure.
Such a treasure, although the internal space is not very large, but to say that it is worth tens of thousands of gold is absolutely not an exaggeration. If you can get such a treasure, whether you use it yourself or sell it in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources for your own use, at that time, breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Mid-Phase will be just too easy.
Zhao Qian turned a deaf ear to the noise below, she continued to walk to the third guard and opened the third brocade box. The moment the brocade box was opened, the sunlight poured down and a burst of brilliance shot out from the brocade box, its glory even overshadowing the sun.
