The following day, news spread throughout Dubian Town that the Mysterious Bookstore was about to move away from Dubian Town!

The moment this news broke, the entire Dubian Town was plunged into panic.

The first thing to be affected was the sharp drop in daily sales at the Wantong Trading Market, with a large number of shops in the market starting to be transferred; secondly, the housing prices in Dubian Town also plummeted, and some impatient cultivators began to sell their properties in Dubian Town, and even one of the eighty-eight mansions near the Mysterious Bookstore was put up for sale.

What surprised everyone the most was that no one dared to buy this mansion!

Keep in mind that these are mansions located near the Mysterious Bookstore! Since the auction, the resale price of these eighty-eight mansions has increased more than tenfold, but very few people are willing to sell them; they are practically impossible to find.

But now, despite repeated price reductions, no one is willing to buy the mansion.

This further agitated the hearts of many practitioners, leading to a massive sell-off of real estate and other assets.

This was Sunny Day to the merchants, who had amassed far too many mansions and opened far too many shops.

The unrest in Dubian Town is directly affecting the daily profits of all trading markets and shops in the Dubian Town; it is even a fatal blow to merchants who have spent a lot of money to acquire mansions and then resell them.

The Mysterious Bookstore is moving away, so who would still buy a mansion or shop in Dubian Town? It's obvious that no one would; even if they did, it wouldn't be worth hundreds of thousands or millions of Spirit Crystal anymore; and the currency for transactions wouldn't even be Spirit Crystal anymore, but gold coins.

As a result, most of the merchants in Dubian Town went bankrupt in just one day.

"Miss, do you think these cultivators have gotten too used to their comfortable lives? They like to jump to conclusions and don't think things through when they encounter problems." Yan Gexing beside Luan Feng, watching the hurried cultivators coming and going, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Today, Luan Feng wore a bright red, wide-sleeved fairy dress, and a pair of red embroidered shoes with Penny on her feet. Her hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, giving her the air of a beautiful woman from the North, whose beauty could topple kingdoms.

"It's not that they're brainless, it's that they're too reliant on the Mysterious Bookstore," Luan Feng said slowly as she walked down the long street leading to the Mysterious Bookstore.

Upon hearing this, Yan Gexing thought for a moment and asked, "Then, Miss, do you think the Mysterious Bookstore will really move away from Dubian Town?"

Suddenly, the Luan Feng stopped; they had arrived at the Mysterious Bookstore.

Luan Feng stood in front of the Mysterious Bookstore, looked up at the Mysterious Bookstore, and said calmly, "Why don't we just ask?"

"Sorry, you might not be able to get in." Zhang Yunji was sitting in front of the door reading "The Legend of Flying Swallow" when he heard this and replied instinctively.

"You!" Yan Gexing glared at Zhang Yunji.

Luan Feng remained expressionless and said calmly, "I'm looking for the shop owner."

Zhang Yunji didn't even look up, and said, "The shop owner isn't here. Please come another day."

My name is Luan Feng.

Zhang Yunji was taken aback, stopped turning the page, looked up at Luan Feng, and exclaimed in surprise, "General Luanfeng! You've finally arrived!"

Luan Feng Zhang Yunji had met him before. A few months ago, he spent a month reading "The Art of War" at the Mysterious Bookstore and then achieved Transcendent to Saint enlightenment through his understanding of "The Art of War". Some time ago, he even helped Crown Prince Yan regain the throne, making him famous throughout the Azure Dragon Continent.

Not only that, during this period, Zhang Yunji would often hear the shop owner Ma Feifei, Laodao Luan Feng's name; occasionally, when chatting with him, Ma Feifei would also bring up Luan Feng, saying things like, "Why hasn't she come yet?"

Clearly, the shop owner had his eye on Luan Feng.

But... the Luan Feng's arrival was rather untimely!

"Is the shopkeeper waiting for me?" Luan Feng asked, a hint of curiosity finally appearing on her calm face.

Zhang Yunji awkwardly rubbed his hands and said, "The shopkeeper is indeed waiting for the general, but the general's timing is unfortunate; the shopkeeper is not in the Bookstore right now."

"Could it be that the shop owner really went to the capital with President Gongsun, just like the rumors say?" Yan Gexing asked in surprise. He had thought those were just rumors.

Zhang Yunji shook his head and said, "No, I don't know exactly where the shopkeeper went. He just said he would be back in a few days. If you're not in a hurry, General, please wait a few days. I will tell the shopkeeper as soon as he returns. I believe he will be very happy to know that you have come."

Luan Feng nodded and said, "No rush, Luan Feng can wait. Sorry to bother you."

Where is Ma Feifei now?

"Actually, I don't even know myself!" Ma Feifei stood on a boulder, looking at the dense forest all around, and sighed helplessly.

Early in the morning, Ma Feifei hid in his room and started a Pokémon Side Quest. He was then teleported to this desolate wilderness by the system. Ma Feifei wasn't given a map and was left completely clueless.

What left Ma Feifei speechless was that his cultivation was also sealed inside, making it impossible for him to use the power of the Spirit Emperor realm, and he became an ordinary person.

This completely shattered their idea of flying away.

"Meowth ~" Mew flew around on Ma Feifei's head, meowing every now and then. For it, returning to the world of Pokémon was a very happy thing.

"Hopefully we're in the Kanto Region, and not teleported to the Johto Region or Hoenn Region, then we're really doomed." Ma Feifei surveyed the surroundings, pondered for a moment, and then found a path to lead Mew out.

It seemed that fate was still on Ma Feifei's side. After walking for about half an hour in the dense forest, Ma Feifei saw a small town.

"Hmm? This looks like they're passing on the Sacred Fire?" Ma Feifei looked around the town and saw people running with torches in their hands.

The Sacred Fire is a flame that is kept lit at the venue during the Quartz League tournament. It is said that lighting the Sacred Fire Sacred Fire is a wish to the gods to bless the trainers and Pokémon participating in the Quartz League so that they can fight safely to the end.

The flame on the torch is the flame of the legendary Moltres, a Pokémon that Ash Ketchum desperately wants to catch.

"I see Ash." Ma Feifei squatted on the hilltop, watching the blue-clad, red-hatted boy in the town receiving a flame from an adult. Ash Ketchum was the protagonist of Pokémon, aspiring to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer.

"So that means I should be on Indigo Plateau right now, not far from the Quartz League arena." Ma Feifei breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the Sacred Fire has been passed here, it means that the Quartz League Competition is about to begin. If the system really sends us to the Johto Region, then we're doomed.

"But if I remember correctly, the villain is about to appear!" Ma Feifei thought, stroking his chin.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, a huge sound came from below, the ground collapsed, and a bus that had been following the Sacred Fire relay crashed into it.

At the same time, Ma Feifei felt a darkness above her head and subconsciously looked up to see Air Balloon with a cat drawn on it Levitate in the sky.

"They've arrived."
