The third floor of the Martial Treasure Pavilion was not as spectacular as the first and second floors. The so-called inscriptions were displayed on a small counter.
Compared to the sale of inscriptions, Baili Hongzhuang felt that this place resembled a teahouse more. The decoration was elegant, and a faint aroma of tea lingered in the air.
On the tea table, three old men with white beards were arguing with flushed faces. It was evident that they were engaged in a heated debate over some academic issue.
Baili Hongzhuang could tell from the situation that these three old men must be Inscription Masters. Their intense argument indicated their complete dedication to inscriptions, or they wouldn't have been so worked up.
Glancing at the nearby counter, Baili Hongzhuang deduced that the inscriptions displayed there were most likely created by these three Inscription Masters. However, it was clear that they didn't draw them for the purpose of selling. They probably brought the inscriptions here during their spare time, perhaps fulfilling a commitment with the owner of the Martial Treasure Pavilion.
Otherwise, the third floor of the Martial Treasure Pavilion wouldn't look like this.
The attendant beside the counter smiled upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang and the others. "Are you here to purchase inscriptions?"
Gong Shaoqing and the others nodded, their gaze falling on the inscriptions on the counter. There weren't many inscriptions here, and they could only make out various patterns without understanding their actual significance.
"If you tell me what kind of inscriptions you're looking for, I can assist you," the attendant offered with a smile.
Gong Shaoqing and the others brightened up. It was widely known that inscriptions could enhance the combat power of weapons, making them excellent aids for cultivators.
As they pondered over suitable inscriptions for themselves, practitioners from Beihai Academy also arrived. They were equally interested in the inscriptions offered by the Martial Treasure Pavilion since they rarely had the opportunity to purchase them.
Seeing that the cultivators from Canglan Academy had already begun selecting, they hurriedly joined in. They couldn't let the people from Canglan Academy take away all the good inscriptions.
With the academy exchange competition approaching, having an additional inscription would greatly improve their performance. How could they allow their opponents to gain an advantage?
"We want to purchase inscriptions too!" Lv Jingqi quickly spoke up, as if she was afraid that the inscriptions would disappear if she hesitated any longer.
The attendant then spoke, "There is a rule for the sale of inscriptions at our Martial Treasure Pavilion. We only sell one inscription per day."
As the attendant's words fell, everyone was taken aback. They had no idea that the Martial Treasure Pavilion had such a rule.
This meant that among the people present, only one person would be able to purchase an inscription.
"But all of us want to buy. Who will the inscription be sold to?" Gong Shaoqing asked, a questioning look in his eyes. The rule for selling inscriptions seemed peculiar and must have had a reason behind it.
"There are two rules in this case. If anyone can answer my question, I will give them this inscription without charge. If they can't answer, then it will go to the highest bidder," the attendant explained, a faint smile on his face. It was evident that he was familiar with such a situation.
"You all arrived early today, so this inscription hasn't been sold yet," the attendant added.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, there was an opportunity to get an inscription for free?
