Engraving

"Profits!" Li Bieli's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing Ma Feifei's words. Almost without hesitation, Li Bieli nodded vigorously and said, "As long as I can survive and take revenge, Bieli can endure any suffering."

Ma Feifei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let me explain the situation to you in detail."

Immediately afterwards, Ma Feifei recounted to Li Bieli the conditions under which he would become Book Slave from beginning to end.

Ma Feifei thought Li Bieli would consider it for a moment after hearing what Ma Feifei said, but as soon as Ma Feifei finished speaking, Li Bieli looked at Ma Feifei with a firm expression and said, "I can do it, shop owner!"

Seeing Li Bieli's resolute agreement, Ma Feifei no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's begin now."

There's no way Li Bieli can go back now. In the current situation, as soon as he leaves the Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei will hear the news of Li Bieli's tragic death at the hands of another cultivator in less than an hour.

Moreover, given Li Bieli's current state, even if no one kills him, he probably won't last more than a few days; if he dies, even becoming Book Slave to the Diamond Sutra won't save him.

Li Bieli was naturally aware of this, and immediately agreed to Ma Feifei's suggestion.

Ma Feifei first went back to the Bookstore to take out the Ballpoint Pen and the space bag containing Spirit Crystal, and then gestured for Li Bieli to take off his upper body clothes.

However, because Yun Qingyang was in the courtyard, Li Bieli was still a little shy. She hesitated for a while before taking off her clothes, sitting on a small stool with her back to Ma Feifei.

Standing behind Li Bieli, Ma Feifei looked at Li Bieli's withered back with a hint of pity on her face.

The visual effects of viewing up close and from a distance are truly different.

The skin on Li Bieli's entire back had begun to atrophy, and the bones in his back protruded high. In many places, the skin was cracked because it was being stretched by the bones. If it continued to atrophy, the bones might eventually break through the skin, and he would truly become a skeleton.

That would be the day Li Bieli died.

With a sigh, Ma Feifei picked up Ballpoint Pen, preparing to begin carving words on Li Bieli's body.

Just like copying the Diamond Sutra, engraving also requires the infusion of Spirit Crystal. Moreover, according to the information transmitted by the system, engraving one copy of the Diamond Sutra approximately twice as many Spirit Crystal as copying it.

Ma Feifei previously spent about 600,000 Spirit Crystal copying the Diamond Sutra, which means he now needs to spend 1.2 million Spirit Crystal to completely carve the Diamond Sutra.

Ma Feifei held a ballpoint Ballpoint Pen in one hand and the Diamond Sutra in the other, exhaled a breath of stale air, and closed his eyes slightly.

'Hoo~'

A gust of Dafeng blew up, and wisps of gaseous Spirit Crystal on Ma Feifei's waist, flowing into the Ballpoint Pen in Ma Feifei's right hand.

'Boom~'

A muffled clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky, and the once clear weather instantly turned into a dark cloud formation, with the clouds churning and roaring incessantly.

'Boom!'

The rumble of thunder sounded again. Ma Feifei opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and pointed it at Li Bieli's back.

'Pfft~'

The pen pierced right through Li Bieli's skin.

'Ah!'

Li Bieli instinctively let out a painful Growl.

"Qingyang, restrain him!" Ma Feifei shouted to Yun Qingyang when he saw that Li Bieli seemed to want to move.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyang, who had been observing from the sidelines, lightly flicked her finger, and a burst of Spiritual Power shot onto Li Bieli, instantly immobilizing him.

Sweat was already dripping from Ma Feifei's forehead, and his hand holding the pen was trembling slightly; he really hadn't expected that the engraving would go straight through the flesh. He hadn't used any force when he put the pen down, but it still went straight through Li Bieli's back.

What surprised Ma Feifei even more was that when the pen tip pierced Li Bieli's flesh, no blood flowed out!

In other words, Li Bieli's physical condition was already very poor, and even his blood had been drained by the negative effects of the Moon Stone.

This feeling made Ma Feifei feel like a wizard, casting a spell on Li Bieli.

But there was no time for Ma Feifei to hesitate; Li Bieli's Growl put a lot of pressure on him.

So, at the moment Yun Qingyang restrained Li Bieli, Ma Feifei's right hand moved again, quickly writing the character 'gold' on it.

'Boom~'

Another rumble of thunder followed, and the sky grew even darker.

'Ding~~'

The Diamond Sutra, which Ma Feifei had been holding in his left hand, also emitted golden light at this moment. Then, it automatically struggled out of Ma Feifei's palm and flew to the top of Li Bieli's head. The pages turned open, and a small character for "gold" in regular script shot out from it, hitting the character for "gold" that Ma Feifei had carved.

Ahhh!!

Li Bieli screamed again, her already distorted face now completely contorted, a truly terrifying sight.

'Bang~'

The word 'gold' hit Li Biejie's back, making a crashing sound, and a golden light spread out from Li Biejie's body.

When Ma Feifei looked at Li Biejie's back again, he found that the word "gold" on Li Biejie's back had turned into a golden color, and the golden light shone on Li Biejie's back, making it even more dazzling.

"Click~"

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Diamond Sutra that was floating above Li Bieli's head.

The instant the Thunder Shock the Diamond Sutra, a halo of light emanated from it, pouring downwards and enveloping Li Bieli entirely.

"Holy crap!" Ma Feifei hadn't stopped copying, and when the beam of light shot down, it happened to cover his hand. A bolt of lightning, comparable to Thunderbolt, struck Ma Feifei's hand directly, almost making him drop his Ballpoint Pen.

Out of instinct, Ma Feifei immediately withdrew his hand that was carving words.

As soon as he retracted his hand, Ma Feifei found that the half-engraved word 'gang' was gradually fading away stroke by stroke. At this speed, the word 'gold' in front could be completely faded in a few seconds.

Having no other choice, Ma Feifei mustered her Power of Faith and gritted her teeth to reach her hand in again.

Ah~~

The intense shock of the lightning made Ma Feifei let out a scream.

"Damn, this is numbing!"

Ma Feifei felt that if he weren't the host, he probably would have been dead by now.

Unlike Ma Feifei, Li Bieli was not affected by the light ring at all. On the contrary, under the light ring, Li Bieli's withered body began to emit a faint glow, obviously using the power of lightning to repair Li Bieli's body.

Ma Feifei let out a soft breath, Bide the tingling and numbness in his arm from the Thunder Shock, and focused his energy to continue copying the Diamond Sutra onto Li Bieli's back.
