Mythological World
After saying this, Li Bieli bent down and continued heading north.
This time, no one followed. They all stood still, silently watching Li Bieli's retreating figure.
Bathed in moonlight, that hunched back looked so desolate, yet so terrifying, inspiring fear deep within one's heart.
To kill a powerful figure at the Spirit Venerable realm with a single palm strike is something that only a great power at the Spirit Saint realm or above could accomplish.
"My God! In just one afternoon, he has become so terrifying!" A cultivator exclaimed in amazement as he watched Li Bieli walk away.
"Alas!" The one who sighed was a powerful figure known as the Spirit Emperor. He had also wanted to make a move, but someone Me First. It was this one move that saved his life; otherwise, he would be the one lying on the ground now.
"It's not so much Li Bieli who's terrifying, but rather the Mysterious Bookstore." The Spirit Emperor turned to look at Dubian Town and muttered to himself.
The Mysterious Bookstore has once again revealed its terrifying side to them in this way.
At least after tonight, the ascetics of Dubian Town will once again feel a greater sense of awe for the Mysterious Bookstore; and as time goes by, it will slowly spread and eventually become known to the world.
Tonight, I can't sleep.
On Monday, the Mysterious Bookstore opened for business as usual.
The weather is not good today. There was a heavy rain last night, and the rain has not subsided this morning. The long street is wet, which makes it uncomfortable for pedestrians. They have to be careful of the water under their feet to avoid stepping in it.
"This damn rainy season, when will it ever end!" Ma Feifei stood at the door of her room, looking at the torrential rain, and complained.
He dislikes rainy days because they make him feel uncomfortable all over, as if his entire body is sealed off. He just wants to hide under the covers, daydream, and drift off into a daze...
But he had no choice; he still had to copy the Six Secret Teachings. He struggled to get out of bed, but the wet ground in the courtyard instantly made him want to run back to Rest.
"Crunch~"
At this moment, the door on the left opened, and Yun Qingyang, dressed in a black outfit, walked out. As if possessed by a spirit, the raindrops all avoided Yun Qingyang.
"Qingyang, there's too much water. Can you give me a ride?" Ma Feifei waved and called out to Yun Qingyang.
Yun Qingyang stood in the courtyard, glanced at Ma Feifei, and asked in confusion, "Can't you use your Power of Faith?"
Ma Feifei shook his head and said seriously, "My Power of Faith is different from your Spiritual Power. It has rest periods, and today it's its turn to rest, so I can't use my Power of Faith all day."
Yun Qingyang tilted his head, a hint of surprise on his face, and asked, "Is there such a thing as rest in cultivation?"
Ma Feifei nodded and said seriously, "Of course, Power of Faith also has life and thought. Just like this Bookstore I run, why is it only open five days a week? And only eight hours a day? Isn't it because Bookstore gets tired after a long time, so we need to give it time to rest and recharge?"
Yun Qingyang was a little confused by Ma Feifei's explanation. In all her years, this was the first time she had ever heard of Bookstore closing down because they were worried about the Bookstore getting too much work...
However, seeing Ma Feifei's serious expression, Yun Qingyang actually felt that what Ma Feifei said seemed to make some sense. Subconsciously, he shot a ray of Spiritual Power at Ma Feifei, and a transparent halo appeared on Ma Feifei's body.
"Alright, you can come out now," Yun Qingyang said.
Ma Feifei shook his head and said, "My legs are resting today too, I need someone to carry me there."
"Oh..." Yun Qingyang nodded and walked towards Ma Feifei.
Then everything was normal. Yun Qingyang carried Ma Feifei on his back, Ma Feifei felt very happy.
With her back to Ma Feifei, Yun Qingyang narrowed her eyes, and the spatial ring in her hand quietly floated down, landing on the only way to the Bookstore, flashing with fluorescent light.
Lying on Yun Qingyang's back, Ma Feifei was lost in the wonderful fantasy of riding a dragon when suddenly Flash appeared in the corner of his eye, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.
"Put me down!" Ma Feifei struggled to jump down from behind Yun Qingyang, then ran quickly towards the Flash.
"Whoosh~"
The light vanished instantly, Ma Feifei missed his target.
"Haha~ The weather's nice today." Ma Feifei straightened up, looked up at the torrential rain, awkwardly rubbed his hands together, and laughed.
"Oh..." Yun Qingyang's cold voice came from behind Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei instinctively turned around and threw a Spirit Crystal into the air behind Yun Qingyang, shouting, "Look! There's Spirit Crystal in the sky!"
Yun Qingyang instantly Splash and grabbed the Spirit Crystal. Seeing this, Ma Feifei desperately ran into the Bookstore, but found that he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
"Heroine, spare my life..."
Half an hour later, Ma Feifei appeared at the Mysterious Bookstore.
He limped to the cashier and sat down, silently taking out the "Six Secret Teachings" which he hadn't finished copying, preparing to transcribe the book.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" It was raining too hard outside today, and Zhang Yunji had unusually put his small stool next to the Bookstore's notice board and was sitting there reading. Seeing Ma Feifei like this, he couldn't help but go up to her and ask with concern.
"It's nothing. I was attacked by an unknown creature on the way here. I fought it for three hundred rounds and only suffered minor injuries," Ma Feifei waved his hand, looking rather dejected.
Zhang Yunji was taken aback. Unidentified creature? The distance from the backyard to the Bookstore was only a dozen meters, how could there be an unidentified creature there!
"Crunch~"
At that moment, the back door of the Bookstore opened, and Yun Qingyang walked out with a cold expression, glancing at them.
Zhang Yunji shivered, wisely refrained from asking any further questions, silently picked up his small stool, and dashed to the door.
"Hmph!" Ma Feifei lowered her head arrogantly, preparing to copy the book.
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't argue with a woman, Ma Feifei felt she should maintain her composure.
After consoling himself for a while, Ma Feifei opened the drawer to take out the space bag containing the Spirit Crystal, only to find that the book "Lotus Lantern" was still lying quietly inside. He then remembered that this newly published book had not yet been put on the bookshelf.
He took "The Lotus Lantern" out of the drawer, and was about to call Zhang Yunji to put it back when suddenly the system notification sounded in his mind again.
