Ma Feifei Chops Down the Osmanthus Tree
"Alright then, fairy sister, let's switch." In the end, Azi chose to trust Ma Feifei and exchanged her jade hairpin for the Jade Rabbit.
After getting the carrot, it turned into a beam of light and disappeared. At the same time, Azi's ranking on the leaderboard jumped to first place.
"It's gone up fifty points!" A practitioner outside the Bookstore shouted, pointing to the points leaderboard on the side.
Everyone looked up and saw that the number one spot on the leaderboard had now been taken by Azi, with a score of 156 points.
Liu Changsheng, who was previously ranked first, has now been pushed to second place with 126 points. He has obviously successfully made a deal with the immortal and gained 20 points.
Of Azi's 156 points, 100 points were obtained by exchanging the Tianshu Fragment from the demonic monk, the last 6 points were the daily points rewards over the past 6 days, and the remaining 50 points were naturally obtained by exchanging carrots earlier.
"I feel like I've lost out a bit!" a cultivator said, stroking his beard and frowning slightly.
"It's really not worth it; an eighth-tier spiritual weapon only gets you fifty points." Another cultivator nodded in agreement.
No one knows what the final reward will be, but based on the price of the first time all the Orange Fragment were collected, the Mysterious Bookstore buys one Orange Fragment for one million Spirit Crystal, which means one million Spirit Crystal are equal to one hundred points.
Now, Azi has exchanged an eighth-tier spiritual artifact for a carrot, which has increased her points by fifty. If we apply the previous ratio, that's equivalent to the points worth 500,000 Spirit Crystal.
However! The price of an eighth-tier spiritual weapon starts at least at ten million Spirit Crystal on the market, and those weapons and armor are often worth twenty or thirty million; even though the jade hairpin is a relatively common and unpopular spiritual weapon among eighth-tier spiritual weapons, it is still no problem to sell it for at least ten million Spirit Crystal.
If calculated this way, Azi has already lost a fortune this time.
Even Ma Feifei in the projection, upon seeing Azi's ranking and calculating the value of the carrot's points, couldn't help but frown and subtly move a few steps to the side.
"Shopkeeper! I'm number one!" Azi heard the voice in her head and her face lit up with joy. She was happy that a carrot had earned her fifty points, seemingly without applying this calculation method to her mind.
"Congratulations!" Ma Feifei offered an awkward congratulation, determined to shake off Azi as soon as possible. She then asked the Jade Rabbit, "Sister Jade Rabbit, is the Fairy Chang'e here?"
Upon hearing this, the Jade Rabbit shook its head and said, "My master has descended to the mortal realm and is not in the Guanghan Palace."
Ma Feifei nodded, somewhat disappointed.
"Shopkeeper, who is the Fairy Chang'e?" Azi asked curiously.
"She's an exceptionally beautiful fairy," Ma Feifei replied casually, though inwardly she was considering whether she should try redeeming her points elsewhere.
Seeing that the two did not intend to exchange items with her, the Jade Rabbit turned around and went back to the pavilion to busy herself. She did not seem to have any intention of driving Ma Feifei and the others away, and let them stay in the Guanghan Palace.
"Shopkeeper, where are we going now?" She was very happy to have just redeemed fifty points, and at the same time, she was very interested in this Heavenly Court and wanted to see more immortals. After all, there hadn't been a single immortal in the Azure Dragon Continent for 30,000 years, but here they were everywhere.
Ma Feifei remained silent, her eyes fixed on the Osmanthus Tree not far away, lost in thought.
Seeing that Ma Feifei seemed to be thinking, Azi had no choice but to suppress her excitement and quietly pace back and forth, looking left and right.
"Azi!" Ma Feifei snapped out of his daze and waved to Azi.
"Huh?" Azi came running over.
"I'm giving you a task," Ma Feifei whispered.
"A mission!" Azi's eyes lit up as she asked, "Does it give points?"
"Uh..." Ma Feifei paused for a moment, then said, "This is a private mission, there are no points."
Goodbye!
"Hey~ don't go..." Ma Feifei grabbed Azi, who was about to turn away, and whispered to her, "I don't have any points, but if you help me this time, I'll take you to exchange for more points later, how about it?"
Azi hesitated and said, "You're not lying to me?"
Ma Feifei said earnestly, "I'm absolutely not lying to you."
Azi nodded and said, "Tell me, what's the mission?"
Ma Feifei gestured for Azi to come closer, then whispered, "Your task is to chat with that fairy sister and attract her attention."
"That's so simple?" Azi asked in surprise.
"It's that simple," Ma Feifei nodded and said.
Azi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked into the pavilion.
As Ma Feifei watched Azi's retreating figure, he suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly called out in a low voice, "Azi."
"What's wrong?" Azi stopped and asked.
Ma Feifei leaned closer and asked, "Do you have an axe?"
"An axe?" Azi thought for a moment, then took out a black Mountain-Splitting Axe from her spatial bag. It was a full two meters long!
"This is the axe that Taishan used before, a seventh-tier spiritual weapon, is that alright?" Azi asked, looking at Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei twitched his lips. This axe was way too big, several centimeters taller than him. It definitely wouldn't fit in his hand.
Unfortunately, Ma Feifei didn't have an axe in his spatial bag, so he had to make do. He took the Mountain-Splitting Axe from Azi and said, "Okay, I'll borrow it for a bit, I'll return it to you later, go on."
After saying that, Ma Feifei ran to the side, leaving Azi puzzled, wondering what Ma Feifei was up to. However, she followed Ma Feifei's instructions and headed towards the pavilion where the Jade Rabbit was, ready to complete the task Ma Feifei had assigned her.
The cultivators outside the Bookstore were also completely bewildered. Fortunately, their view was always following Ma Feifei, so they could see him wherever Ma Feifei went, and they all looked at Ma Feifei's back with anticipation.
However, their wait was short-lived, because Ma Feifei in the projection suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the sky, which was the direction from which his perspective was captured.
Then the perspective shifted to Azi's, where she was chatting with the Jade Rabbit.
"What?! Switch back, we want to see the shop owner!" The cultivators outside immediately became unhappy and shouted loudly.
"Stop fooling around, who wants to watch girls chatting? Switch back now."
"Exactly, we want to see what the shop owner is up to. That sneaky look of his really makes us curious."
But no matter how much everyone shouted, the projection remained fixed on Azi, without switching to Ma Feifei.
Meanwhile, Ma Feifei had already circled around behind the Jade Rabbit, holding the Mountain-Splitting Axe in his hand, and quietly headed towards the Osmanthus Tree cat not far away.
