Chapter 93: Brushweaving Trial
Li Lang shook his head as he walked toward the calligraphy scroll on the wall. Imitating Sima Xue, he reached out with his hand first.
He watched as his limb passed through it. There was no feeling as if it was just an illusion. Unlike Sima Xue, he didn’t instantly jump through. He retrieved his hand and examined it first before touching the wall around the scroll.
He then took a peek at the area behind the scroll and found nothing but the wall. Brushing his hand over it, he found it to be a solid obstacle. His hand could touch the edge of the scroll fine, but once he touched a little closer toward the center of it, it directly passed through.
Seeing this curious sight, Li Lang decided to consult with the only person around. He pressed his hat against himself as he felt up the scroll.
“Ruby, do you know what this is before me? As in, can you take it into your artifact space?”
“Master, the Qi in this is so powerful it would take years for even an attempt. I’d advise against it unless you want to stand here for who knows how long. As for what it is, it should be a high-level artifact, but it’s strange. It doesn’t have an artifact spirit residing in it.”
“...I see.”
Seeing there was nothing more he could do, Li Lang bravely walked straight into the scroll. He quickly found the scene before him changed once more. He was now in the middle of a lake, on a colossal lily pad.
However, there was a proper desk before him. The same kind his mentor, Yi Lin, had in his own office, meant for Brushweaving. There were even brushes, talisman paper, and ink supplies on it. There was nothing else around, so Li Lang started testing his footing. He was worried about the stability of the lily pad below him.
It was only when he found it as stable as solid ground that he placed down the pill-furnace from his back.
When he looked up, he found some lights appearing from thin air. The lights carefully formed words for Li Lang to read.
“Create any kind of talisman within an hour. Fail and you lose five trial points.”
