The third floor of Wubao Pavilion was not as spectacular as the first or second floor. The inscriptions were all just placed on a small counter.
If one ignored the inscriptions that were placed to be sold, it seemed more like a tea house. The layout was very elegant and there was tea placed on various tables.
At one of these tables, three old men with white beards were facing each other, clearly discussing a certain issue, their faces had long since turned red.
In this case, they instantly guessed that these three must be inscription masters, and that they were discussing inscriptions.
It could be guessed that these three men put all their focus on inscriptions, otherwise they would not have discussed till their faces turned red.
When they looked at the counters, the inscriptions for sale should have been drawn by these three inscription masters.
However it is clear that the inscription masters are not selling all their inscriptions here, they had just taken some inscriptions out to support the pavilion, most likely just to keep up the agreement they had with the Wubao Pavilion’s owner.
Otherwise the third floor of the Wubao Pavilion would not look like this.
The sales assistant behind the counter could not help but smile after seeing Baili Hongzhuang and the others, “Dear guests, have you arrived to buy inscriptions?”
Gong Shaoqing and the others nodded and their eyes fell onto the inscription on the counter. There was only one. They could see one pattern, but they did not understand what it did.
“What kind of inscription are you looking to buy? You can tell me, and I will introduce what we have,” the sales assistant smiled.
Gong Shaoqing and the other’s eyes brightened. As everyone knew, the inscription could improve their combat ability and the effectiveness of their weapons. It was an excellent aid for the cultivators.
Just as everyone was thinking about what inscription they wanted, the practitioners from Beihai College also came up the stairs.
They too were very interested in the inscriptions of Wubao Pavilion. They usually had no chance to buy inscriptions.
At this moment, they saw that the Canglan College’s students were choosing, and they rushed over. It was impossible they would let them choose any good inscriptions.
The college tournament was just around the corner. With an inscriptions they would be able to perform even better. How can they watch their opponents improve like this?
“We also want to buy an inscription!” Li Jingqi quickly said and as she said the last sentence she was afraid that the inscription would disappear.
The sales assistant said, “Our Wubao Pavilion has a rule, we sell at most one inscription a day.”
When the voice of the sales assistant fell, everyone was surprised. They had never heard about this rule before.
They started to think, with so many people present, only one could buy an inscription?
“So many people want to buy, who will be allowed to buy one then?” Gong Shaoqing asked politely. The rules for the sale ought to have a certain reason.
“There are two rules, the one who can answer this question will be able to get an inscription for free. If no one can answer the question, then the highest bidder wins.”
The sales assistant’s face was smiling, he was naturally used to seeing this situation.
“Dear guests you all came early today and the inscription has yet to be sold.”
With the voice of the waiter falling, everyone was feeling excited. They still had a chance.
