"Hongzhuang, you're back!"

Before Baili Hongzhuang could open the door, the door opposite hers swung open, and Xia Zhiqing poked her head out, her face filled with excitement.

Baili Hongzhuang smiled and nodded. "When did you come back? You're here early."

"I came to the academy a couple of days ago. I was bored at home, so I thought it was about time to come back," Xia Zhiqing said playfully.

Looking behind Baili Hongzhuang, she noticed Emperor Beichen's absence and couldn't help but ask, "Hongzhuang, didn't Emperor Beichen come back with you?"

She knew how clingy Emperor Beichen was to Baili Hongzhuang. Logically speaking, if Baili Hongzhuang was here, Emperor Beichen shouldn't be anywhere else.

"He had some matters to attend to and left ahead of me. I guess it'll be a while before he returns to the academy," Baili Hongzhuang explained.

A moment of realization appeared on Xia Zhiqing's face. "You're right. With Emperor Beichen's status, he must have a lot to take care of."

Now, Emperor Beichen's identity was no longer a secret to them. As the young master of Tian Gang Sect, he must be extremely busy.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xia Zhiqing, Baili Hongzhuang finally returned to her room.

She had been studying runic arts for a while now. Although she had practiced extensively in the Chaotic Ring, those were virtual exercises with the old man. She hadn't actually drawn a rune herself.

Taking advantage of the current opportunity, she decided to draw a rune and give it a try.

Practice makes perfect. Every runic artist is born from countless piles of runic materials.

Just like alchemists who are cultivated through countless herbs, intuition is developed only after multiple practices.

This kind of intuition is hard for others to comprehend. It's like knowing exactly how much material to add or how much force to apply, which is unique to runic artists.

If one possesses this intuition, the success rate of drawing runes in the future will increase significantly.

Baili Hongzhuang purchased some runic materials in Canglan City. The rune she wanted to draw this time was not too complex, so the materials weren't difficult to find.

Moreover, due to the existence of Canglan Academy, trade in Canglan City was prosperous. It wouldn't be difficult for her to find these basic materials.

Runic arts are constructed from complex geometric shapes. Different shapes have different effects, and different combinations of shapes can also produce varying results.

To others, these may seem like intricate patterns that are hard to understand, but only runic artists truly comprehend the meaning behind these patterns.

However, just like how alchemists keep their prescriptions confidential, apart from when the rune is being drawn and others can see the specific pattern, once the rune is complete, only a simple pattern is visible, and the entire structure remains unseen.

Runic arts are a meticulous process, and even the preparation of runic liquid takes a considerable amount of time.

If any issues arise during the preparation, it would require starting over from scratch. The precision required is no less than that of alchemy.

Baili Hongzhuang had learned how to prepare runic liquid from the old man after a long period of study. Different runes require different runic liquids, and the better the materials, the better the effect of the rune.
