Wind and Clouds Surge

If before Li Bieli only had withered arms, after these two months, there wasn't a single healthy muscle left in Li Bieli entire body; they had all atrophied and withered.

Even his hair was Sheer Force dyed black using Spiritual Power; otherwise, he would look no different from an old man in his twilight years.

Given this situation, Li Bieli's remaining days are probably countable on one hand.

Although the Moon Stone fragments in Pokémon Sheer Force upgraded the two Pokémon in Li Bieli's hands from the fourth to the fifth tier, Li Bieli also paid a huge price for it.

This price is too high for anyone.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei shook his head, stopped discussing the issue, and returned to the cashier to continue drawing talismans.

Unlike Yun Qingyang, Ma Feifei couldn't draw hundreds of talismans at once, but with Ballpoint Pen, Ma Feifei could draw talismans very quickly, almost one per second, and had already drawn more than three thousand in less than an hour.

"Damn it, this kind of hard labor was originally meant to fool Yun Qingyang into doing it, but I never expected it would end up back in my own hands after all this time. It's frustrating," Ma Feifei couldn't help but complain.

Thinking about this, Ma Feifei regretted that he had priced it at 100 Spirit Crystal, which was too cheap; it should have been 10,000 Spirit Crystal per piece.

However, Ma Feifei didn't expect to make money selling talismans. He just wanted to recoup his costs. The price of one hundred Spirit Crystal was enough to motivate all the cultivators in Dubian Town to join the ghost-catching operation, which was a price that the general public was willing to pay. If the price increased, many cultivators would inevitably give up buying talismans. After all, not every ghost would bring them Tianshu Fragment. Based on the calculation that a book only has ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment, the vast majority of cultivators were destined not to receive the one million Spirit Crystal reward.

Therefore, this price cannot be changed.

Since the price cannot be changed, Ma Feifei naturally has to desperately draw talismans to recoup the cost of 100 million Spirit Crystal.

So, the lazy Ma Feifei finally started to work hard, writing from morning till afternoon, burying himself in his work and not even eating lunch, which made Zhang Yunji a little strange as to why the boss was working so hard today.

Around 3 PM, the manager of the Wantong Trading Market across the street came to collect today's talismans, but he didn't dare go in. Instead, he stood outside and explained his purpose to Zhang Yunji.

Zhang Yunji nodded and walked to the cashier. He was about to speak, but when he turned his gaze to Ma Feifei, he found that Ma Feifei was looking down, her chin propped up by the back of Ballpoint Pen, her eyes closed, and her mouth slightly open. She had actually fallen asleep!

Zhang Yunji's eyelids twitched a few times, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Shop owner..." Zhang Yunji called out softly.

"Huh?" Ma Feifei dreamed again that he was holding the Emperor's Sword, and that he had taken all the top 100 fairies on the Fairy Ranking into his harem. He was feeling very proud of himself when he was suddenly woken up.

He immediately raised his head, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhang Yunji, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The weather in May was gradually getting warmer, and it was easiest to feel sleepy in the afternoon, especially when copying things. Ma Feifei even wondered if the system was deliberately picking on him, since he hadn't copied books for a long time, so it had specially created this task for him.

'It seems it's time to write a new original book.'

I wonder if I'll get flamed...

Ma Feifei thought to himself.

Seeing that Ma Feifei was awake, Zhang Yunji pointed to the door and said, "Steward Liu from the Wantong Trading Market across the street came to collect the talisman, and he also brought an Orange Fragment."

Ma Feifei's eyes lit up, and she quickly waved to Steward Liu outside.

Steward Liu had been watching Ma Feifei closely. When Ma Feifei waved, he excitedly ran into the Bookstore. After entering, he subconsciously looked around before running to Ma Feifei, taking out a spatial bag, placing it on the cashier's counter, and whispering, "Shopkeeper, this is the Orange Fragment."

Ma Feifei took the spatial bag, glanced inside, and confirmed it contained Tianshu Fragment. She nodded happily and said to Steward Liu, "Good job, keep it up. I'll talk to Sister Gongsun later and ask her to promote you."

Steward Liu was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Ma Feifei glanced at the talismans he had drawn and found that he already had ten thousand. He put them into his spatial bag, took out the Tianshu Fragment, and handed it to Steward Liu, saying, "Take this. Remember to update the notice board later, saying that in order to prevent cultivators from destroying Dubian Town by Snatch the fragment, the Mysterious Bookstore has specially set up a spatial array on the talismans. Once the talisman hits the vengeful ghost, the caster will enter another dimension with the ghost to fight until one side is defeated. Note that only the caster can enter the other dimension; others cannot follow. Make sure you emphasize this sentence."

Steward Liu carefully noted down Ma Feifei's words and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will definitely handle the matter you entrusted to me."

Ma Feifei was delighted to hear this. It was so much better to have a subordinate who respected their leader than Yun Qingyang.

With Ma Feifei promising to take Steward Liu flying with him in the future, Steward Liu left the Bookstore with a heart full of excitement.

Watching Steward Liu's retreating figure, Ma Feifei couldn't help but shake his head and exclaim in admiration, "That kid is really good; he's perfect as a lackey."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunji cautiously said, "Actually, shop owner, I think I'm quite suitable too..."

"..."

Thanks to the dimensional talisman drawn by Ma Feifei, the number of mass battles like the first one decreased significantly. Although there were still occasional brawls caused by people Snatch fragments, they were all within a controllable range. Therefore, Mayor Zhou Wuji of Dubian Town did not insist that the Mysterious Bookstore cancel the million-dollar bounty mission.

In fact, Zhou Wuji himself knew that with the current reputation and strength of Mysterious Bookstore, he could no longer do anything to it; not to mention that his two children had received a lot of care from Ma Feifei, the owner of Mysterious Bookstore, and his daughter Zhuling even had some feelings for Ma Feifei. Based on these two points alone, it was enough for Zhou Wuji to be biased towards Ma Feifei in his heart, so Zhou Wuji was very satisfied with this outcome.

As time passed, the fervor surrounding the mysterious deaths in Dubian Town faded, replaced by a million-dollar bounty. Every night, countless cultivators wandered every corner of Dubian Town searching for the vengeful ghost that had escaped from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio".

Because of Ma Feifei's increased speed, the Wantong Trading Market can now provide more than 100,000 talismans every day, greatly alleviating the pressure of talisman shortage; it is also because of this that, under the massive ghost-catching army in Dubian Town, the vengeful ghosts that escaped from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" were almost all wiped out as soon as they appeared, and there have been no more incidents of being killed by vengeful ghosts.

As more and more people hunted the vengeful ghosts, more and more Tianshu Fragment were collected. After a period of time, Ma Feifei had collected more than eighty fragments of the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". With just a dozen more fragments, he would be able to successfully obtain the Tianshu Fragment of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

Besides the ongoing task of collecting Tianshu Fragment, the Bookstore's daily operations are also running smoothly. Every day, cultivators comprehend new techniques and martial arts skills, and occasionally, they can even unlock the world within a Yellow Quality book. Of course, the most popular activity is the dungeon in the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" Book Instance, which can be entered repeatedly. Every day, cultivators form four-person teams to run the Tomb of the Tomb of the Hegemon.

As more and more players run the Tomb of the Tomb of the Hegemon, the rewards dropped by the Emperor Chu the Conqueror also increase. Gradually, people discovered that the rewards dropped from the Tomb of the Hegemon could be connected to the founding emperor of the Chu Great Chu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

Everyone seemed to understand something, but they all chose to turn a blind eye and ignore the problem. However, such things could not be kept secret, and the news quickly spread throughout Dubian Town and outwards.

At this time, the date was May 25th, the 352nd year of the Great Chu Dynasty.

On this day, the opening ceremony of the once-every-five-years state banquet of the Great Chu was held; the first Pokémon Championship, hosted by the Mysterious Bookstore in Dubian Town, officially began; Crown Prince Yan and Luan Feng returned to the Yan State, testified to the emperor on the Sage Sovereign Terrace, and demanded that the new emperor Yan Xun abdicate.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon Continent was in turmoil.
