Tianshu Fragment
"Whoosh~"
Two vines flew swiftly after Ma Feifei, who was fleeing.
Chang Kong had been watching Ma Feifei closely. Upon seeing this scene, his expression changed, and his spirit sword appeared out of thin air as he stepped forward to help Ma Feifei defend against the vines attacking him.
"Whoosh~"
A faint sound piercing through space rang out.
A flash of light streaked across the sky, and the vines in mid-air were instantly sliced in two, falling to the ground.
Chang Kong Kongzhen glanced at the expressionless Yun Qingyang, his heart filled with shock.
Chang Kong now possesses the cultivation level of Spirit Saint First Stage, and he accepts that his reaction speed is slightly slower than Yun Qingyang's. However, Chang Kong didn't even know how Yun Qingyang made his move! If this attack had been aimed at Chang Kong himself, he definitely wouldn't have had time to react, and there would only be one possible outcome: death or serious injury.
The difference between Spirit Saint seems truly vast...
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
At this moment, countless vines flew out from the tree, this time attacking across the entire area. Everyone was hit by more than ten vines. Ma Feifei was even more exaggerated, with half of the vines flying around him heading straight for him.
"Snap~"
The moment the Qingshuang Sword was drawn, the temperature in the air dropped instantly; as the sword flashed, the vines that filled the sky came to a standstill.
A pitiful Growl rang out.
The large tree that Ma Feifei couldn't cut down suddenly twisted into a terrifying human face. The face seemed to be going through some painful struggle, and the tree's eyes showed a look of fear.
"Bang~"
With a cracking sound, the tree spirit's body exploded, leaving no part of the tree intact. Scattered fragments, along with dust, fell from mid-air and scattered everywhere.
"Amazing!" Liu Ying exclaimed in astonishment as she watched this scene.
Before she could even raise her Purple Ying Sword, the battle was already over...
Zhang Yunji was the same, watching Yun Qingyang with admiration from the side.
Chang Kong fell silent.
"Phew!" Ma Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and gave Yun Qingyang a thumbs up.
Yun Qingyang snorted coldly and raised her head arrogantly.
Ma Feifei pursed his lips. As a man, he didn't bother arguing with women. He turned to look at Chang Kong and the other two, and was about to speak when suddenly space distorted. Before Ma Feifei could react, the scenery around them had changed, and they were back on the long street they had just passed.
"It really is another dimension." Ma Feifei looked around and realized that it was indeed the familiar street on the corner.
A crisp 'click' sound rang out.
A Tianshu Fragment fell to the ground.
Ma Feifei squatted down, preparing to pick it up.
'Swish~'
A gentle breeze blew by, and Yun Qingyang stepped in front of Ma Feifei.
"What are you doing?" Ma Feifei looked down at the Tianshu Fragment on the ground and found that they were being stepped on by Yun Qingyang's foot. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Mine," Yun Qingyang said earnestly.
"Huh?" Ma Feifei was a little confused.
"I killed the tree spirit," Yun Qingyang said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Pfft~"
Seeing Yun Qingyang's serious expression, Ma Feifei couldn't help but laugh out loud. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I know it's yours. I'll give you a million Spirit Crystal later. Move aside, I feel like this fragment is a little different."
"Don't lie to me!" Yun Qingyang pointed a finger at Ma Feifei and said.
"I'm not lying to you," Ma Feifei said earnestly.
Yun Qingyang then moved away, satisfied. Ma Feifei squatted down and picked it up, carefully examining the Tianshu Fragment in her hand, a look of doubt in her eyes.
He took out a Tianshu Fragment from his spatial bag and compared it, discovering that the newly acquired Tianshu Fragment was larger than the previous ones.
"Why are they different sizes?" Ma Feifei asked thoughtfully.
After collecting the Tianshu Fragment over this period, Ma Feifei now possesses more than eighty Tianshu Fragment, averaging more than ten fragments per day; at this rate, Ma Feifei should be able to collect ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment by tomorrow.
However, judging from the more than eighty Tianshu Fragment collected earlier, their sizes were not much different, and they were more than twice the size of the new Tianshu Fragment that Ma Feifei had just obtained. In other words, the combined size of two Tianshu Fragment was equivalent to that of this one Tianshu Fragment.
"Could it be because of our strength?" Ma Feifei pondered.
This Tianshu Fragment was undoubtedly dropped by the tree spirit with the human face from earlier. Even with Ma Feifei's current strength at the Ninth Stage Spirit Venerable, he couldn't harm the tree spirit in the slightest, clearly indicating that the tree spirit's cultivation was unfathomable. In contrast, the more than eighty Tianshu Fragment collected earlier were obtained from those fierce ghosts who only had the cultivation of the Spirit Master Stage Five, and their strength was far inferior to that of the tree spirit.
The two can be compared as follows: one is a boss, and the other is a mob.
"Let's see how many Tianshu Fragment we collect tomorrow." Ma Feifei put two Tianshu Fragment into her spatial bag, glanced at Chang Kong and his two disciples who were still waiting nearby, and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you going back yet?"
"Huh? Oh~~" Chang Kong and his two disciples were a little confused, and walked home in a daze.
Ma Feifei watched their retreating figures, then glanced at Yun Qingyang with a puzzled look and asked, "Have I forgotten something?"
Yun Qingyang rice like a chick, said, "You forgot to give me the money."
"..."
The next day, Ma Feifei still didn't go to watch the Pokémon Championship. Early in the morning, Ma Feifei waited for Steward Liu from Wantong Trading Market to bring the remaining Tianshu Fragment so that he could study why the Tianshu Fragment.
It wasn't until nearly noon that Steward Liu finally arrived, delivering the Tianshu Fragment collected that day to Ma Feifei.
"Shopkeeper, we received a total of twelve Orange Fragment today," Steward Liu said cautiously.
Ma Feifei nodded, took the spatial bag, and took out the Tianshu Fragment inside. She found that there were no fragments of the same size as those from last night.
"There really is a difference." Ma Feifei muttered to himself as he looked at the Tianshu Fragment.
Then Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something, put away the Tianshu Fragment on the table, stood up and said to Steward Liu, "Alright, the bounty missions in the trading market can be withdrawn, and the sale of talismans should also be stopped."
After saying that, to Steward Liu's surprise, Ma Feifei went into the backyard, moved a small stool over and placed it opposite the rocking chair. She sat down on the stool, facing the rocking chair, took out her spatial bag, and poured out all the Tianshu Fragment inside.
'Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully collected ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment (Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio). From this moment on, no more vengeful ghosts will emerge from the books of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio, and you can add them to your bookshelf for all readers to enjoy.'
As the system notification sounded, the ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment on the rocking chair began to emit starlight, then gathered together in a regular pattern, and finally turned into an orange sheet of paper.
Ma Feifei picked up the paper, looked up at the sun in the sky, and examined it.
"Isn't this supposed to Tianshu Fragment? How come there isn't a single word on it?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.
The paper was too clean, covered only in orange blossoms; there wasn't a single other color, let alone any writing.
The paper is the same thickness as ordinary book paper, and apart from its orange color, it is completely unchanged.
Ma Feifei tilted his head and thought for a moment, then ran back to the Bookstore. When he returned, he had a Ballpoint Pen in his hand.
