Attempt twenty-two, failure.
Attempt twenty-three, failure.
On her thirtieth attempt, Bai Li Hongzhuang successfully inscribed another piece, showing improvement compared to the previous failure rate.
In the end, Bai Li Hongzhuang created three inscribing papers, not because she didn't want to continue, but because... she ran out of inscribing ink.
If she wanted to continue, she would have to prepare more inscribing ink. However, considering her current state, it wasn't suitable for her to continue. Inscribing requires a significant amount of mental energy, completely independent of elemental power.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang stop, the three little beasts quickly jumped behind her. Little Black and Little White started massaging her shoulders, while the White Lion took care of her back.
Bai Li Hongzhuang tidied up her things. It seemed that she would need a long time of practice to improve her inscription skills.
As for the effectiveness of these three inscribing papers, she couldn't be entirely certain. Selling them would provide her with some insight into the market.
In her previous life, she had little understanding of inscriptions, and even now, her knowledge remained limited. The scarcity of inscription masters meant that she had yet to come across one.
The next day, Bai Li Hongzhuang carried the three inscribing papers to an auction house. Even in Canglan City, there were no shops dedicated to selling inscriptions.
The reason why inscriptions weren't sold in the academy was that this was her first attempt at inscribing, and she couldn't fully guarantee the effectiveness of the inscriptions.
She was unfamiliar with market pricing, so she couldn't set a direct price. If she auctioned them off at the academy, students might bid higher out of respect for her, but if the inscriptions didn't meet expectations, it wouldn't be a desirable outcome.
Under such circumstances, her only option was the auction house.
She believed that the appraisers at the auction house would have some knowledge about inscriptions. As for the prices the inscriptions would fetch at the auction, she was at peace with the outcome.
Wearing a black cloak, Bai Li Hongzhuang entered the auction house, not wanting to expose her identity.
When she was still a novice, it was best to keep such matters as low-key as possible.
Tianxiang Auction House had branches in multiple cities of the Holy Profound Continent, and Canglan City happened to have one.
Bai Li Hongzhuang walked in without hesitation. She had a favorable impression of Tianxiang Auction House, and its reputation was well-known. It was unlikely that they would lack customers.
Upon seeing the three inscribing papers, the appraiser's attitude toward Bai Li Hongzhuang changed slightly.
Inscriptions were already quite rare, and inscription techniques were extremely complex. Most renowned inscription masters directly inscribed on weapons for others. Inscriptions drawn on inscribing paper like this were mostly low-level ones and rarely high-level ones.
Even so, inscriptions still garnered significant attention from cultivators. Lower-level inscriptions also had a huge market demand.
"Miss, what effects do these inscriptions have?" the appraiser asked.
Bai Li Hongzhuang pondered for a moment and replied, "These inscriptions carry the fire attribute. Once imprinted on a weapon, it will produce a flame effect, enhancing its killing power."
Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's explanation, the appraiser's eyes brightened. "Our auction house will accept this item."
