May 7th, in the capital of the Yan Region, Today, the entire city is unusually bustling due to the announcement from the Gongzhengde Auction House that a dark blue-tier dimensional inscribed artifact will be auctioned. This news has caused a significant stir because, within Yan Region, there are only seven such dimensional artifacts, each owned by prominent figures of the state. The emergence of an eighth piece has many eager to acquire it. It must be said that dimensional inscribed artifacts are extremely rare, mainly because most inscribers are not proficient in the art of Dimensional Inscriptions. In Yan Region, only a handful of inscribers are skilled in this art, and the process of carving Dimensional Character requires a long recovery period for the artists. Therefore, dimensional artifacts are scarce and highly valued. At the main branch of the Gongzhengde Auction House, In Special Guest Room No. 5, reserved by a young man with sun-kissed skin, his demeanor was noble yet betrayed a youthful air. His sharp eyes glinted with a cold determination, his high nose and clearly defined lips enhancing his striking appearance, making him the envy of many in the realm. “Sir, the room next to us is reserved for Taizi.” “Hmm...” he acknowledged with a single word before becoming silent. He had fully recovered... The guard could only sigh internally, thinking the young master, being a noble, should at least make a formal visit. But being merely a servant, he couldn’t suggest his master do something he was unwilling to do. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. It’s an honor for Gongzhengde Auction House to serve you with sincerity. Our auction house operates with integrity, guaranteeing the quality of every item to be worth every money you spend. Should any item be damaged by us or not meet our claims, we are prepared to refund the full amount. To avoids wasting your valuable time, the first item up for auction today is the Liangzhu Pearl, a gemstone capable of warding off dark magic...” Zhao Yong Saiwei felt particularly irritated. If not for the dimensional inscribed artifact, he wouldn’t have left the military camp for such an annoying place. “Excuse me, sir, I wonder if there’s still space in that room. I was too slow to reserve one myself,” a clear, bell-like voice interrupted, causing him to frown in displeasure. He glanced sharply at Yang Zhuang, his personal guard. “My apologies, young lady, but my master is not inclined to share the room with anyone.” Silence followed for a moment before she replied. “Then, I apologize for the intrusion.” The audience, engrossed in a show, instantly averted their gaze from the beauty. Who wouldn’t recognize her? She was Lady Yaoyao, who had long admired the young General Zhao Yong Saiwei. Yet, despite her years of affection, she never succeeded in winning his heart. The general would stay at the military camp for a year, then return home for once. Even if the beautiful lady long to be close to him, she was desperate since the man rejected her. The show was indeed captivating. When Lady Yaoyao left, Zhao Yong Saiwei glanced back at the stage, this is the reason why he didn’t want to leave the military camp, finding nothing of interest outside. Fınd the newest release on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵 “The next item, highly anticipated by many here for ownership, is the dark blue-tier Dimensional Character inscribed stone." "Who would carve spirit characters on a stone?!" The crowd was in an uproar. Who was that mad inscription master who inscribed a Dimensional Character on a rock? While most inscription were on valuable objects like rings, bracelets, accessories, and jade, carving on a mere stone was unheard of. However, their whining won’t change anything since the true value lies not in the medium but in the power of the inscriptions themselves. A small stone, the size of a thumb, was lifted onto the stage. The stone had an elliptical shape with a smooth, matte white surface. "Ladies and gentlemen, please, remain calm. Although the mysterious inscription master has inscribed Dimensional Characters into this stone, the characters used are of ancient and original high quality. This dark blue-tier dimensional inscribed stone possesses internal spaces that are wide, long, and high, each dimension being 5 *zhang[1], capable of holding numerous items. It is exceedingly suitable for travelers. Moreover, the uniqueness of this stone does not end here. It has been inscribed with a Preservation Character that can maintain freshness for up to two months, making it extremely suitable for martial artists venturing into the martial world. But the kindness of the mysterious inscription master doesn’t stop just there; he also inscribed a Master-Recognition Character. So, should the owner somehow lose it, it will follow the scent of its master and faithfully return to them," the auctioneer described its capabilities captivatingly, prompting several high-profile clients to send their servants to fetch more money from their families. "Preservation Character! There still is the person who could inscribe the Preservation Character in this day?" "And Master-Recognition Characters too!" "Who is this inscription master?" "Could it be that person from the palace?" "It’s not him. That person just carved a sword last month, and besides, this stone is only of the dark blue tier." "Ah, I really want it." "Do you think you’re the only one who wants it? I want it too." "Ladies and gentlemen, our Gongzhengde Auction House starts the bidding at only 500 taels." "500 taels is too cheap. I’ll offer 700 taels." "700 taels is considered expensive? I’ll give 1,000 taels." "I’ll give 1,500 taels." "I’ll give 2,000 taels." "I’ll give 3,000 taels." "I’ll give 4,000 taels." The bidding escalated quickly, with everyone wanting to possess the eighth dimensional inscribed artifact of the state. The people present at the auction were not ordinary citizens; hence, how could the price be low? This was why Gongzhengde Auction House brought this important item to auction in the capital. "10,000 taels," a deep voice echoed from Special Guest Room No. 6. There were no further bids. Zhao Yong Saiwei, in another room, frowned. He wanted this item; it was crucial for the military. Using it to transport fresh supplies, even though it wasn’t as large as higher-tier dimensional inscribed artifacts, could significantly reduce military transportation costs. With tensions at the border, it was uncertain when war might break out, so this item was a must-have for him. "11,000 taels," Yang Zhuang called out. Meanwhile, in Special Guest Room No. 6, Shi Wenlang complexion remained pale, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. "Your Highness, the room next door is reserved by the young general Hao, sir," a guard whispered. "15,000 taels," he raising the price again. "20,000 taels," came a voice from the next room. Shi Wenlang smirked slightly before coolly raising his hand to concede. His deep eyes dimmed slowly, leaning back relaxedly against the chair, content that at least the artifact would serve the state well. As evening approached and the sun disappeared behind the mountains from a long while ago, the slender figure of a 9-year-old girl lay spread out on a bench under a large tree. The little Baihu leaped up to snuggle on her chest. It’s as if the dignity of the master hunter has vanished completely. Is it did not feel embarrassed, compared to the neighbor’s kitten? Meanwhile, Xiao She, not to be outdone, diligently performed the duty of massaging her legs, serving her attentively. She had long since ceased to fear it, as its persistent presence and resilience eventually led her to accept it graciously, even as someone who was initially afraid of snakes. "So, you’ve come to play with my sister here. I’ve been looking everywhere for you," He Yu said with a pout, looking at the two pets that had betrayed him to be with his sister. "Yu’er aren’t you supposed to practice your spirit energy cultivation today?” Zhenzhu propped herself up against the big tree. “Have you forgotten that Father isn’t home today?” Ah... How could she forget that today Father had gone to oversee the construction of their house? After auctioning off the dimensional inscribed stone and deducting 10 portions for the auction house and 20 for Master Tao, the He family had received 14,000 taels, more than enough to buy the land they had been eyeing. After receiving the money, He Lei immediately contacted a property agent to proceed with the land purchase. Soon after, the land ownership documents were resting quietly in the He household. Now with 7,000 taels remaining, He Lei arranged to buy stones, bricks, and soil for the construction of the house. Zhenzhu suggested he build a slightly larger house with several bedrooms for everyone in the family, and to also construct several small houses at the back for future workers, for weaving, and other tasks. Currently, it was the phase for construction, and it would be a while before they could move into the new house. But Zhenzhu did not want to wait; she wanted to plant the mulberry trees first. Hence, she had arranged for mulberry cuttings the day before, ready to be planted as soon as they arrived. Now, the path to her fabric store is about to begin. How could her store just be any ordinary fabric store? In recent days, she has gathered information that all the fabrics produced and sold are made in the traditional way: growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms to produce silk. But the silk from Zhenzhu’s store will be special; the mulberry trees will be watered with spiritual energized water. As they grow and their leaves are used to feed the silkworms, the silkworms will possess spirit energy, and the silk produced will also contain spirit energy. Her fabric store will become the only one in the city, perhaps even the only one in the region, to offer spirit infused fabric. Generally, agricultural spirit energy cultivators do not cultivate plants other than food crops and herbs because it is not worth the effort and too troublesome. That’s why she insists on planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms herself from the very first step. But another concern she still has is that she cannot possibly do all these tasks by herself – from planting mulberry trees, watering them, to raising silkworms. She might have studied these processes in her previous life but doing it all alone would be too exhausting. Well, she plans to visit the city tomorrow to look at the slave market. Thus, today has been a leisurely day for her, allowing her to relax. Lately, everyone in the household has been spending most of their time practicing spirit energy cultivation, taking turns to look after the crops and herbs they have planted. Today, feeling particularly lazy, she decided to skip her spirit energy practice and character drawing lessons, sneaking off to lie down in this vegetable garden instead. The next morning, she woke up early at dawn. Today, she needs to go to the city to find workers to help plant the mulberry trees. Because Miss Wang was worried about her traveling alone, she insisted on accompany her. But Zhenzhu refused. Unable to withstand her daughter’s stubbornness, Miss Wang finally insisted that Zhenzhu take Baihu with her, reasoning that at least it could intimidate people. Baihu was absolutely thrilled about going out and affectionately nuzzled against her legs. A girl and her animal companion set off from home. Whenever they passed by villagers who seemed about to greet them upon seeing Baihu walking with her, they would pause and then smile awkwardly in greeting. Walking towards the horse pasture, she saw workers busy constructing a large house that was already more than halfway done. High walls encompassed a wide area, and farther out, there were several small and large houses being built for the workers, as per Zhenzhu’s request to her father. She stopped to admire the construction with a content smile. This was the new home she was going to live in. "Baihu, this is our new home. Do you like it? There’s also a place for you to run around," she said, lifting her hand to pet it. Our little Baihu has grown so much. It licked her small hand in response. "Ah, Zhu’er, what brings you here? And you brought Baihu too?" He Lei hurried over to his daughter when he saw her. He didn’t return home last night because he was overseeing the construction until late. He was eager to finish the house as soon as possible so that the He family could move in soon. "I thought I’d go find some workers in the city, but Mother was worried, so she sent Baihu to accompany me." Her father nodded understandingly. It’s common for parents to worry about their young child. "But if we bring it into the city, it might cause a panic. Can I leave it here with you, Father? I’ll go by myself." "Of course, leave it here for now," He Lei wasn’t too concerned since the distance from there to the city was only a short thirty-minutes journey, and there were houses scattered along the way, making it not so dangerous. Zhenzhu left Baihu behind and went into the city by herself.
