"Young lady, these two books cost a total of 19 Silver Coin." The old man smiled slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, as if wondering why she had chosen these two books.
Yun Xi noticed his confusion but did not explain.
However... the knowledge books of the Purple Abyss Strange Domain are surprisingly cheap.
She didn't say much, paid the money, and left with the two books.
Yun Xi found a quiet corner nearby and opened "Introduction to Purple Abyss Continent".
The Purple Abyss Continent is divided into Thirty-Six Mansions according to its geographical location.
The Thirty-Six Mansions, though called prefectures, were actually thirty-six "states," each ruled independently.
The government possesses supreme authority and supreme power.
The reason for this situation is precisely because of the existence of spirits.
Spiritual creatures are the most mysterious and powerful beings on the Purple Abyss Continent. They contain boundless power and wondrous abilities, granting their owners extraordinary strength.
Each prefect establishes his authority and rule by virtue of the unique spiritual objects he possesses.
These spiritual beings possess either immense offensive power, capable of sweeping away armies on the battlefield; or miraculous healing abilities, allowing their prefectures to protect their people from disease and injury; or mysterious manipulative powers, bringing abundant resources and superior living conditions to their respective prefectures.
As such, conflicts and battles frequently broke out between the various prefectures in order to compete for more powerful spiritual objects.
However, Jiaozhou Prefecture, where Yun Xi is currently located, is an exception. Jiaozhou Prefecture is situated on the edge of the Purple Abyss Strange Domain and is almost completely isolated from the world.
The mountains and rivers here are treacherous, the roads are rugged, and contact with the outside world is extremely scarce. Precisely because of this, Jiaozhou Prefecture avoided most of the wars and conflicts in the region, and was able to develop in a relatively peaceful environment.
Upon learning of this situation, Yun Xi felt both relieved and somewhat puzzled.
Fortunately, I was not teleported to a war-torn region; Jiaozhou Prefecture was still relatively peaceful for the time being.
What's puzzling is how such a seemingly isolated prefecture can maintain its stability and development within the larger environment of the Purple Abyss Continent.
Yun Xi continued scrolling down.
Unlike other prefectures, the ruler of Jiaozhou Prefecture did not pursue powerful spiritual objects or expand his influence. He focused more on internal governance and improving people's livelihoods, striving to ensure that every resident could live a peaceful life.
However, it is not hard to see that there is also a message between the lines: the spirit possessions of the governor of Jiaozhou Prefecture are extremely special, and he can live well even without participating in the competition with other prefectures.
Yun Xi tried to find more descriptions of special spiritual creatures in the "Introduction to Purple Abyss Continent", but found only a few words.
With that in mind, she opened "Introduction to Spiritual Objects".
There are a total of 36 million spiritual objects in the entire Purple Abyss Continent. Each spiritual object has a special effect and can be either public or private.
Thirty-six million spiritual items is quite a lot. On average, each prefecture could have one million items. No wonder the guards at the city gates have the right to use spiritual items.
This book even contains detailed information on the top ten spiritual entities.
Yun Xi's gaze was instantly drawn to it. She was naturally very curious about what amazing abilities and effects these top ten spiritual creatures possessed.
The number one ranked spirit is called "Source of Chaos," which is said to possess the power to create and destroy the world, but its whereabouts are hard to find, as mysterious and unpredictable as legend.
The second-ranked item is the "Shuttle of Time and Space," which possesses the magical ability to manipulate time and space, allowing people to travel between the past and the future.
The third-ranked "Psionic Scepter" can manipulate external psychic energy, summon wind and rain, and is almost omnipotent.
The tenth-ranked "Vessel of Healing": It possesses powerful healing abilities. No matter how severe the injury, it can be quickly healed by washing with the water in the pot.
Yun Xi...
The descriptions of these spiritual creatures are far too exaggerated, aren't they?
That's way too unrealistic...
This isn't just a magical object, it's Divine Artifact!
The Wonder Realm truly lives up to its name...
As Yun Xi flipped through the book, she couldn't help but silently complain to herself.
She originally thought that spirit objects were just items with some special abilities, but she never expected that the spirit objects recorded here would be so powerful and magical, which was beyond her imagination.
However, it is obvious that these spiritual objects are not something that ordinary people can possess, and the top ten spiritual objects are even rare and divine.
As for the information about the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow, Yun Xi didn't read a single word.
She had just browsed through the books in the bookstore, but found no information related to it. And this Purple Flame Spirit Marrow was just a material; it couldn't possibly be a spiritual object, could it?
Yun Xi frowned.
She pondered repeatedly in her mind: since the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow is just a material, could it only be produced in certain specific places, or be controlled by certain specific people?
Although Yun Xi was also curious about these spiritual objects, she did not forget her purpose for this trip: to obtain the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow. No matter how powerful the spiritual objects in the Purple Abyss Strange Domain were, they were irrelevant to her primary task at present.
After thinking about it, she went back to the bookstore to ask the owner if he knew anything about the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow.
Yun Xi Xixi entered the bookstore. There weren't many customers inside. The Old Man was sitting behind the counter, arranging some books with his head down.
Yun Xi stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, boss, I would like to ask you a question."
The Old Man raised his head, a kind smile on his face, and replied, "Miss, please feel free to ask me anything."
"Boss, I've been searching for information about the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow, but I haven't found anything after a long time. Do you have any relevant clues?"
Upon hearing this, the Old Man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at her strangely, "Miss, you, you don't know about the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow?"
"Purple Flame Spirit Marrow... isn't that just Purple Crystal?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi's face went blank. Purple Crystal... was that what she understood it to mean?
The system's currency, Purple Crystal?
Yun Xi quickly opened the system panel and sent a message to Eliza.
[Eliza, the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow you mentioned, could it be the Purple Crystal currency in the system?]
[Yes, Yun Xi, is there a problem? Purple Crystal is extremely precious; its other name is Purple Flame Spirit Marrow. However, Purple Crystal is so rare that, to this day, our Sorcerer Association has never heard of it.]
Yun Xi speechless; it turned out she had made a complete blunder.
Let alone Purple Crystal, Yun Xi even has Red Crystal.
