Eternal-grade Quality Book

Ma Feifei was quite helpless! He was dragged out to catch ghosts by that silly dragon Yun Qingyang late at night, and was even forced to wear costumes and props specially made by Yun Qingyang. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he and Yun Qingyang were filming a big movie about Daoist priests catching ghosts.

However, Ma Feifei felt that the mysterious deaths were something that had to be taken seriously. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the deaths in Dubian Town were all related to the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio". Therefore, whether it was for the safety of Dubian Town or out of a sense of responsibility, the Mysterious Bookstore had an obligation to solve this problem, eliminate all the ghosts and monsters that had come out of the book, and restore peace Qiankun to Dubian Town.

It was with this purpose in mind that Ma Feifei agreed to go out with Yun Qingyang late at night to catch ghosts.

"Can you see it?" Ma Feifei looked at the ruins of the tavern in front of him, glanced around, and asked.

Yun Qingyang frowned, ignoring the cultivators watching them, and stuck the peach wood sword into the ground. Then he began to fiddle with the compass in his other hand.

A minute passed, Yun Qingyang still didn't make a move.

Undeterred, Yun Qingyang put away the compass, tore off a talisman from his person, picked up the peach wood sword, stuck it on the talisman, and silently chanted an incantation.

"Boom!" The talisman suddenly exploded and spontaneously combusted.

Startled, Ma Feifei instinctively took a step back.

"Whoosh~" A beam of light shot out from the peach wood sword and struck a certain spot.

"Bang~"

"Hiss!"

An explosion rang out, and the smoke dissipated.

A terrifying, faceless body appeared in a corner, its blood-red mouth gaping open as it let out a miserable Growl, clearly having been badly injured by Yun Qingyang's attack.

Upon seeing the manifested vengeful ghost, Yun Qingyang felt no fear whatsoever; instead, his face lit up with excitement. He raised his peach wood sword and instantly appeared beside the ghost, thrusting the sword into it.

"Pfft~"

"Hiss~"

The vengeful ghost let out a desperate Growl, then with a 'bang,' it was engulfed in a ball of fire and finally turned to ashes.

"Ding-dong~"

With a crisp sound of something hitting the ground, Yun Qingyang tilted her head and looked at the thing at her feet. Just as she was looking at it, the thing at her feet suddenly rose up and was Yun Qingyang in her hand.

"What is this?" Yun Qingyang asked, looking at the small fragment in her palm.

"What is this?" Ma Feifei walked over curiously. Yun Qingyang handed the small fragment in his hand to Ma Feifei. As soon as Ma Feifei took it, the system suddenly issued a notification sound.

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining Tianshu Fragment."

"Huh? That's it?" Ma Feifei noticed the system notification sound was so short and couldn't help but ask.

The system did not respond.

Ma Feifei ran into the system panel and asked, "What does this Tianshu Fragment mean?"

The system remained silent for a moment, then slowly displayed a line of text: Tianshu Fragment, the prized possession of the Mysterious Bookstore: a fragment of the Eternal grade- quality book, "The Tianshu." (Note: Tianshu Fragment can be obtained from books of Epic-grade quality or higher.)

"Holy crap!" Ma Feifei was completely dumbfounded when he saw this line of text.

Eternal grade!

I've never heard of that! The highest Mythic-grade. Could this so-called Eternal grade be even higher than Mythic-grade?

And most importantly, it's called the store's prized possession! In other words, this "Tianshu" is the highest-grade book in the Mysterious Bookstore!

"Could you explain the function of this Eternal grade 'Tianshu'?" Ma Feifei continued to ask.

Unfortunately, the system didn't seem to want to answer Ma Feifei's question, and there was no response after waiting for quite a while.

"What are you doing?" Yun Qingyang couldn't help but ask when he saw Ma Feifei in a daze.

Ma Feifei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, wait a moment, I have something to do."

After saying that, Ma Feifei walked to the wall and squatted down to continue accessing the system panel. He needed to figure out what this thing was all about.

Since the system refused to give a direct answer as to what the "Tianshu" actually was, Ma Feifei could only try to find out indirectly.

"System, I'd like to ask, how many Tianshu Fragment do I need to collect to obtain that Eternal grade- quality Tianshu?" Ma Feifei asked, then stared quietly at the system information panel.

After a while, the system provided an answer.

"The requirements for obtaining the Eternal grade- quality book 'The Tianshu' are as follows: The Bookstore System must be upgraded to level five, with four branches; the Bookstore must have over ten thousand dark Blue Quality books, over one thousand Yellow Quality books, over one hundred Epic-grade quality books, over ten Legendary-grade quality books, and at least three Mythic-grade quality books; the host's cultivation level must reach the Immortal Realm; and ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment must be collected. (Note: Tianshu Fragment must be pieced together from Tianshu Fragment; ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment can be combined to form one Tianshu Fragment.)"

"Damn! This requirement is way too difficult!" Ma Feifei looked speechlessly at the system's reply; not a single condition was easy.

At present, the only thing Ma Feifei can probably afford is those ten thousand Blue Quality books. He doesn't even meet the requirements for yellow -Yellow Quality books. One thousand books would cost two million. How much would that be? Considering that Ma Feifei's total assets, including his Book Qi Points and Spirit Crystal, are only five hundred million, it's impossible for him to afford one thousand Yellow Quality books.

As for what comes next —Epic-grade, Legendary-grade, or Mythic-grade — Ma Feifei could only chuckle twice.

That means he could barely manage the last one, the Tianshu Fragment. But according to the system's logic, ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment could be pieced together to form a single Tianshu Fragment inside a single book, wouldn't that mean there were ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment in the book itself?

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei continued, "Then how can I obtain the Tianshu Fragment from the book? For example, this Tianshu Fragment was obtained from a vengeful ghost in 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.' Do I have to run into the book and kill the vengeful ghost to get the Tianshu Fragment?"

Based on the past practice of obtaining benefits from those Yellow Quality books in Bookstore by comprehending their contents and entering the world within the book, it's likely that the method of obtaining the Tianshu Fragment, being something from within the book, will be the same.

However, the system's response surprised Ma Feifei.

"How to obtain Tianshu Fragment from * Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio*: Tianshu Fragment can be obtained by defeating ghosts and foxes. Every five days, a large number of ghosts and foxes will escape from the books of *Strange Tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio * and roam the territory of Dubian Town. The host can gather fellow book lovers to help eliminate the ghosts and foxes. (Note: After collecting ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment, no more ghosts and foxes will escape from the books.)"

"This..." Ma Feifei looked at the answer given by the system and finally understood why so many vengeful ghosts had appeared in Dubian Town these past two days. It turned out that they all came from the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". Moreover, judging from this, a batch would appear every five days until Ma Feifei collected all ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment.

"Ding~"

Just then, the system notification sounded again.

"Congratulations, host, you have triggered the unique mission— the Tianshu Collector."

Task Details: Please collect ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment and complete the relevant task requirements.

Task duration: Unlimited.

Task Reward: The Mysterious Bookstore's prized possession— the Eternal grade- quality book, "The Tianshu".
