The audience, though unfamiliar with the tools of an Array Master, could tell at a glance that the pen and ink prepared by Little Snail and Mountain Snake were extraordinary. Their Formation Pens were forged from pure gold, shimmering with a dazzling luster under the sun. The ink resembled flowing golden sand, clearly of immense value.
From the judges' seats, Luo Tian turned to Big Snail and Sea Snake. "What exactly are these pens and this ink that your sons are using?"
Big Snail smiled and replied, "I prepared the pens. Finding one from the Heavenly Pen List is nearly impossible, but these two are quite special in their own right. Each was forged and compressed from eighty-two jin of gold. You can imagine the density of the gold within them."
Sea Snake added proudly, "As for the ink, that was my doing. It was refined from one hundred jin of gold, pressed into a liquid, and mixed with a few other ingredients to create the ink an Array Master requires."
