Eating Flower Buds Contest

"Eating flower buds?" The cultivators reading in the Bookstore all looked at the large bowl in Ma Feifei's hand with curious expressions. It seemed that this was the first time the Mysterious Bookstore had given away an extra perk while reading.

Even some spies who were idly waiting outside the Bookstore for the latest breaking news were craning their necks to look Bookstore.

"Come on, everyone, one flower each, first come, first served." Ma Feifei, carrying a large bowl, began distributing flower buds to the group of book lovers. According to the previous calculation, there were only 180 flower buds in the bowl. There were 400 book lovers in the Bookstore, meaning more than half of them wouldn't get any. But that's okay. After eating these 180-plus flower buds, Ma Feifei could go to the backyard to recite the Tao Te Ching. After going back and forth a few times, she would try to complete the task of putting the Tao Te Ching on the shelves today.

"What magical effects does this have?" One by one, the cultivators walked towards Ma Feifei, then lined up and began to discuss the flower buds in Ma Feifei's large bowl. Although they were interested, they were all still clueless about the effects of the flower buds.

"Who knows... but I think it must be one of those elixirs that can increase cultivation level." A cultivator looked at the large bowl with anticipation, rubbing his palms together as he spoke.

"Impossible... There are so many people here. It's a bit of an exaggeration for them all to increase their cultivation by eating a single flower. I think it's more reliable to focus on strengthening their bodies and purifying their Spiritual Power." Another cultivator had his own opinion. After all, cultivation is something that all cultivators in this world are constantly pursuing. If a single flower could increase the cultivation of so many people, it would be too terrifying.

"Whether it's to increase cultivation or purify Spiritual Power... we've already missed our chance." A cultivator behind him leaned forward, looking somewhat regretful. He had just roughly counted the large bowl in the Mysterious Bookstore owner's hand; there were no more than two hundred flower buds. However, they were already over three hundredth in line. If each person got one bud, there was no chance for them at all.

"You always bring up things that spoil the fun. Are we blind?" The enthusiasm of the discussion instantly cooled, and they all began to glare and point at the cultivator who had created the awkward atmosphere.

Regardless, Ma Feifei's sudden presentation of Plum Blossom did indeed pique everyone's interest. Under Ma Feifei's urging, the cultivators who received the buds all ate them, and soon all the buds in the bowls were gone.

"Don't be disappointed if you didn't get a flower bud. Just read for a while, and new flower buds will be coming soon." Ma Feifei looked at the cultivators who were still queuing up but hadn't received a flower bud, gently comforted them, and then turned and ran back to the backyard to continue reciting the Tao Te Ching.

The atmosphere in the Bookstore had been enlivened by the flower buds that Ma Feifei had brought. Everyone had stopped reading and were discussing their experience after eating the buds, while those who hadn't tried them yet were listening with curiosity to hear their thoughts.

"I feel like there's a gas in my stomach, but I can't grasp it. It's so strange." A chubby cultivator touched his big belly, his eyes full of curiosity. It felt as if a new life had appeared inside him, which was particularly bizarre.

"Me too, and I feel much more energetic and full of strength. If I exert myself now, I should be able to unleash 120% of my power." Another cultivator stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, felt the power within his fist, and couldn't help but urge his Spiritual Power to release it.

'Buzz~'

Suddenly, a slight tremor emanated from the Bookstore. The cultivator's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his Spiritual Power completely dissipated. Somewhat flustered, he said, "Senior... I acted impulsively and had no intention of disturbing the Mysterious Bookstore. Please forgive me."

The aura inside the Bookstore finally dissipated, startling the cultivator who wiped the sweat from his brow and slowly got up, his earlier excitement vanishing completely.

The other cultivators in the Bookstore didn't react much. The Mysterious Bookstore Bookstore been open for so long, and there were always one or two brainless people who tried to challenge it, only to end up worse off than the last. The current cultivator's experience was already considered relatively good, Mysterious Bookstore it naturally didn't arouse anyone's interest.

In the backyard, Ma Feifei finished reciting the Tao Te Ching once again. This time, the flower buds on the plum tree successfully grew, but no new petals bloomed. Just like last time, there was only one petal.

However, this was within Ma Feifei's expectations. After all, this was the first time a new flower bud had grown. According to previous estimates, it would take at least two more times, and the number of recitations might increase as the number of recitations increased. These were all uncertainties.

Having a general direction is good. Regardless of whether there are any additions or subtractions, the only difference is the time required to complete the task. Ultimately, the task can be completed.

In this situation, the book lovers in the Mysterious Bookstore began to be treated by Ma Feifei as a flower bud elimination machine. He would recite a poem once and pick Will full of Plum Blossom, then bring them into the Bookstore and distribute them to everyone. Those who had already eaten them would continue to be distributed. After two or three times,

The flower bud did indeed bloom a second petal, but the four hundred book lovers in the Mysterious Bookstore were no longer able to keep up.

"Don't be shy, everyone... Keep eating, eat more. This stuff can cure illnesses and even help with kidney problems. I don't usually bring out such good stuff. If it weren't for the fact that you're loyal fans of the Mysterious Bookstore, you would never have had a chance to eat this in your lives." Ma Feifei squatted down, grabbed a flower bud, and stuffed it into the mouth of the cultivator lying on the ground, groaning.

"Ugh... Shopkeeper... I... I can't take it anymore..." This cultivator's stomach was already as swollen as Zhang Yunji's before. After Ma Feifei stuffed so many flower buds into him, he was in a bad state. His eyes rolled upwards, and Ma Feifei almost thought he might die from being stuffed.

"Brother, don't try to scam me. Eating a flower won't kill you, will it? Stop fooling around and eat it already." Ma Feifei patted the cultivator's large belly, then gave it a push. "Roll over, baby calf!"

Pushing aside the cultivator blocking his way, Ma Feifei continued towards the next cultivator, similarly stuffing a flower bud into his mouth... "Go, Pikachu!"

Then push it aside and move on to the next one.

"Everything for the Horde! Let's go..."

And so, all four hundred cultivators in the Bookstore were brought down by Ma Feifei's flower buds, lying or sitting on the ground, their bellies all swollen one or two times their usual size.
