Copying Meaning

Ning Zhuo held the Meaningful Brush and examined it carefully.

The brush shaft was made of Yellow-green Heluo Jade. Its natural jade patterns interwove, forming vague hexagram images.

The brush head was catalpa wood, bearing scorched marks left by lightning.

"Among them, the most basic is the Inner Demon Tribulation, which tests a Confucian cultivator's literary heart. In addition, when Heluo Jade is mined from the water, it may very well suffer a Lightning Tribulation."

"Looking at this brush, its head uses Lightning-Struck Catalpa Wood. Most likely, after the Heluo Jade was brought out of the water and underwent the Lightning Tribulation, it was not fully protected and became corroded by Lightning Energy.

Ning Zhuo was not a Confucian cultivator, so Five Elements Power was not a perfect match for
