Li Hua scanned the room with analytical interest, noting the substantial differences from their quarters at the Beast Tamer Sect. The Heavenly Smith Sect provided significantly more space—disciples' rooms nearly twice the size of comparable accommodations in their home sect. Instead of the floor-to-ceiling windows, these quarters featured specialized skylights and reinforced ventilation systems designed to channel excess spiritual energy safely from refinement work.
The furnishings emphasized practicality over aesthetics. Li Hao's workstation dominated the space—a massive desk of ironwood surrounded by organized chaos. Various metallurgical tools hung from specialized racks, different types of metals were sorted in labeled containers, raw spirit stones awaited refinement in protective cases, and dozens of scrolls depicting complex formation diagrams covered available surfaces. Every element positioned for maximum efficiency rather than comfort.
