Retreat, hundred miles of Hongzhuang

After handing over the inscription to the appraiser, Baili Hongzhuang returned to Canglan Academy. She didn't expect the inscription to fetch a high price at the auction. She was more interested in knowing the effect of the inscription when used by the buyer, especially if the buyer was from Canglan City. She believed she would hear some news about it.

Once back in her dormitory, Baili Hongzhuang immersed herself in seclusion. She focused all her mental energy on drawing inscriptions and practiced diligently. Whenever her mental energy was depleted, she would turn pale, and a sense of emptiness would wash over her mind. However, she noticed that her mental energy had surprisingly improved during this process.

Baili Hongzhuang's mental energy was already exceptionally strong compared to ordinary people, so it was challenging for her to enhance it further. She hadn't expected this method of drawing inscriptions to have such a beneficial effect on her mental energy. With that realization, she became even more absorbed in her practice, tirelessly devoting herself to drawing inscriptions and cultivating her mental energy.

Under this kind of training, her inscription technique also improved significantly. During these past few days, she had been drawing the same kind of inscription repeatedly. She wasn't concerned about the effect of this specific inscription but rather wanted to grasp the feeling of drawing inscriptions.

Although both alchemy and inscription were meticulous crafts, there was a slight difference between them. Alchemists faced significant challenges with each new batch of pills they made. Even if they succeeded once, it didn't guarantee success in subsequent attempts. In contrast, inscription masters who mastered the technique could significantly improve their success rate regardless of the type of inscription they were drawing. Once they understood the structure of an inscription, the success rate for drawing a new one would be the same as drawing any other inscription.

Therefore, inscription mastery was initially difficult, but once the essence was grasped, the process became much simpler. Unfortunately, many people found it challenging to overcome the initial difficulty of inscription mastery.

Three days later, Baili Hongzhuang received the money from Tianxiang Auction House. When she saw the amount, her eyes lit up. It seemed that inscriptions were indeed in high demand in the market. Her simple inscriptions had still fetched a decent price.

However, what frustrated Baili Hongzhuang was that the buyer of the inscription was not from Canglan City. After winning the bid, the person had left directly. This result left Baili Hongzhuang feeling helpless. She had wanted to see the specific effect of the inscription, but now she could only buy a weapon herself to test it.

As for her Lustrous Glass Sword, that was out of the question. Even if she were to inscribe it in the future, she would only choose top-notch inscriptions. With her current inscription skills, it would be a waste to inscribe the Lustrous Glass Sword.

Interestingly, during this period, Baili Hongzhuang had grown closer to the Lustrous Glass Sword. Back in the ruins, she had only left her aura on the sword, but the sword hadn't fully acknowledged her as its master. Once a weapon reached a certain level, it would possess its own spirituality and choose its owner. If the owner didn't meet its expectations, even if they used the weapon, they couldn't fully unleash its power.
