"What's the question?"
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes lit up with interest. The question from the Martial Treasure Pavilion seemed peculiar. If answering the question could result in a free gift, then it must be a challenging question.
All eyes turned to the waiter as he placed a piece of paper in front of everyone, saying, "This is the question."
"When making Inscription Fluid, how do Qingling Woodstone and Tailless Flowerstone blend together?"
As soon as everyone saw the question, they were dumbfounded. They had no knowledge of inscription arts, let alone knowing what Qingling Woodstone and Tailless Flowerstone were.
"This kind of question seems impossible to answer unless you're an Inscription Master," Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh.
She knew this question wouldn't be simple, but... it was too difficult!
Lü Jingqi and the others exchanged glances, realizing that they had no idea about these things. Answering the question was simply impossible.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, the waiter wasn't surprised. In fact, most questions posed by the Inscription Masters were nearly impossible to answer.
However, inscriptions were extremely valuable, and taking one without paying was not an easy task.
Baili Hongzhuang found it amusing after seeing the question. It was evident that the Inscription Masters who posed this question were deliberately making things difficult for everyone.
Even those with some knowledge of inscription arts would probably struggle to answer. If her guess was correct, the Inscription Masters were not really interested in giving away the inscription; they were merely testing everyone's resolve.
If there were no rules like this, many people would undoubtedly complain about only one inscription being sold per day.
This way, the attention was diverted elsewhere.
"With a question like this, I don't think anyone can answer it. Let's just go with the highest bidder," Xue Haoling spoke up.
Clearly, no one present could answer this question.
The gazes of Xia Zhiqing and the others fell on Xue Haoling. They knew that he was particularly skilled at spending money.
However, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up, "Who says no one can answer this question?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone looked at Baili Hongzhuang with surprise. How could she possibly know the answer to such a complicated question? It would be impossible, even for her.
"Don't try to show off, Baili Hongzhuang. You might become a laughingstock," Lü Jingqi mocked.
Inscription Masters were practically inaccessible to most people, and there was no way Baili Hongzhuang could know about it.
Xiao Lanmei also glanced at Baili Hongzhuang with a puzzled look. It wasn't the right time to seek attention.
In fact, apart from Inscription Masters, no one else could answer this question.
Xia Zhiqing and the others also wore expressions of confusion. They only knew that Baili Hongzhuang was an alchemist; they had no idea she had knowledge of inscription arts.
"Grind the Qingling Woodstone and Tailless Flowerstone into powder, add the juice of the Emerald Vine, and cook it over high heat. They will blend together," Baili Hongzhuang calmly explained.
Lü Jingqi and the others saw Baili Hongzhuang's confident expression but remained skeptical. They had never heard of Emerald Vine or its juice.
Liu Qinmoon was also puzzled. She only knew about medicinal herbs, and what Baili Hongzhuang was talking about seemed to be related to metal ores, of which she knew nothing.
