The Legendary-grade Book, Journey to the West
In the end, the matter naturally came to nothing. Fortunately, Ma Feifei had plenty of Spirit Crystal, so he spent another 500 million Spirit Crystal to buy a copy of the same Divine Abilities and Spells for himself to learn.
As a result, Ma Feifei only had 2.5 billion Spirit Crystal left. This number really bothered Ma Feifei, so he simply went all out and bought "Journey to the West" as well, instantly reducing his assets to only 1.5 billion.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully purchased the Legendary-grade quality book 'Journey to the West'. The book has been deposited into the cashier. Please check it out."
"Ding! Congratulations, host Bookstore has acquired its first Legendary-grade- quality book. You have received a discount reward: all proceeds from Journey to the Journey to the West will be discounted by 40%. If a fellow reader acquires the book, the discount will be converted into proceeds and belong to the host. (Note: This discount only applies to Journey to the West.)"
"This is good." Ma Feifei nodded to himself as he listened to the system's introduction. This "Journey to the West" was Legendary-grade quality book, which meant that the benefits obtained from it would be incomparable to any previous book. Correspondingly, the price to extract the benefits from it would naturally be much higher.
Ma Feifei enjoys this 40% discount. If he profits from it, he will enjoy the discount, which will save him a lot of Spirit Crystal. If the readers profit from it, the 40% discount will be converted into a profit-sharing income. The system will still charge at 40%, and the remaining 40% will all go to Ma Feifei. This is equivalent to Ma Feifei cooperating with the system, with the system taking 60% and Ma Feifei taking 40%.
Most importantly, Ma Feifei also enjoys 20% of the system's 60% share of the profits. So, in terms of profits, Ma Feifei and the system have reached a 50/50 split.
With such a huge discount, it's safe to say that Ma Feifei didn't lose out by spending those one billion Spirit Crystal. This copy of "Journey to the West" will definitely bring him and the Mysterious Bookstore enormous wealth in the future.
Now that I've bought the "Journey to the West" book, the question is how to get the Great Sage Set. According to the original text, Sun Wukong obtained this set of equipment, including the weapon, from the East Sea Dragon Palace. So, this equipment must be obtained by entering "Journey to the West" and going to the East Sea Dragon Palace. But the question now is, who should go in?
Because of the mission involved, the system determined it to be a special case, so Ma Feifei was allowed to enter the Journey to the West world this time. However, since this outfit was ultimately meant for the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to let him enter the Journey to the Journey to the West world to find the Great Sage Set?
Of course, the most crucial reason is that Ma Feifei is afraid of dying...
When entering the world of the book during a mission, you won't enjoy the same god-like perspective as ordinary cultivators. If you are killed, you will truly die. The only advantage as the host is that you can exit the world of the book at any time, avoiding the awkward situation of being unable to fight or escape.
What worries Ma Feifei even more is that the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey is still developing its intelligence and is completely unfamiliar with "Journey to the West." If it were to enter "Journey to the Journey to the West," it would definitely create uncertainties. The most important point is that it might not even be able to find the Great Sage Set.
Even if you told it that the Great Sage Set is in the East Sea Dragon Palace, it wouldn't matter; how would it know where the East Sea Dragon Palace is?
Whether one can even distinguish between east, west, south, and north is a question.
"Forget it, I'll just go in myself." In the end, Ma Feifei decided to take matters into his own hands.
The reason I decided to go up was twofold: firstly, I didn't want too many uncontrollable factors to arise; secondly, I felt that my current strength was quite good, and I wanted to see if I could venture out on my own. Although I've been a lazy bum all day, I've at least acquired a set of skills and treasures, and it would be a shame not to experience them firsthand.
Since he had decided to personally take to the battlefield, Ma Feifei naturally needed to make some preparations. First, Ma Feifei checked the items in his spatial ring, and then he ran to the Bookstore and packed all the Epic-grade- quality books inside. This was Ma Feifei's life-saving measure; with Epic-grade- quality books as a foundation, the Book Spirit Protects Master skill should be able to keep him safe.
After getting the book, Ma Feifei went to find Yun Qingyang.
"You want the Qingshuang Sword?" Yun Qingyang was addicted to Transform techniques and had now turned into a little sea creature, flapping its wings on the dry ground. Ma Feifei was truly impressed by Yun Qingyang's imagination.
"I don't want it, just borrow it. I'm going to the world in the book tomorrow, it might be a bit dangerous." Yun Qingyang's Qingshuang Sword is definitely not a simple divine weapon. If Ma Feifei takes it with him, he will have even more ways to protect himself.
"Okay." Yun Qingyang didn't hesitate. Xiao Hai opened his mouth and with a 'whoosh', the Qingshuang Sword turned into a fluorescent light and flew towards Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei grabbed it, and a chilling sensation instantly flowed from the sword into his palm, causing Ma Feifei to shudder and nearly drop the Qingshuang Sword.
Having obtained the Qingshuang Sword, Ma Feifei tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then, he rummaged through Yun Qingyang's ring and took out several pieces of ninth-tier spirit clothing and spirit armor, from underwear to full armor, a complete set of ninth-tier gear.
Even so, Ma Feifei was still not at ease, so he instructed Zhang Yunji to find Chang Kong and give Chang Kong ninth-tier suits, asking him to carve level nine defensive formations on these clothes to further enhance their defensive capabilities.
After finishing all that, Ma Feifei went to the Wantong Trading Market across the street. An hour later, the Wantong Trading Market posted a notice about the Mysterious Bookstore.
There are two points: First, the Mysterious Bookstore will soon be selling Divine Abilities and Spells, which cultivators who have successfully integrated their inner energy can purchase at the Wantong Trading Market.
The second point is: The Mysterious Bookstore will be closed to the public tomorrow, but Mysterious Bookstore will host a new book viewing event. The owner of the Mysterious Bookstore will personally interpret the world of the books at this event. Everyone is welcome to come to the Mysterious Bookstore to watch.
The first news item was confusing to everyone; it didn't explain what the Divine Abilities and Spells were, nor did it announce the specific sales date, so everyone just glanced at it and moved on.
The second piece of news is of more interest to them: Mysterious Bookstore has released a new book of high quality, and the owner of Mysterious Bookstore personally interprets the world within the book. This book must be something special.
"I remember the highest quality books in the Bookstore right now should be Epic-grade, right? Could it be that the new quality books released this time are even higher than Epic-grade?" At the bulletin board of Wantong Trading Market, a large group of cultivators gathered around the bulletin board and began to discuss after seeing two messages.
"Didn't you notice that the shop owner never showed up when new quality books were released before? But this time, the shop owner is actually going to personally enter the world inside the book! Based on this reasoning, this new book must be of higher quality than Epic-grade quality books," a cultivator Analytic in detail.
"And if I remember correctly, this seems to be the first time the shopkeeper has entered the world of the book alone, right?"
"Yes... In the past, the shop owner would enter the world of the book as an Order Keeper, but this time he will personally act it out. This new quality book must be extraordinary."
"But even a book as miraculous as the Tao Te Ching is only of Epic-grade quality. If this new book is of even higher quality than Epic-grade, wouldn't it be even more powerful than the Tao Te Ching?"
The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Although the Tao Te Ching did not create immortals, the benefits it brought to everyone are obvious. Some even speculate that if it weren't for the curse, Saint Chu might have been able to enter the Immortal Realm this time.
Although it was only hindsight, no one can deny the profound impact the Tao Te Ching had on them.
But even such a powerful book is not the strongest. Now, an even stronger book is about to be published!
Does this mean that this book can do what the Tao Te Ching couldn't?
Unbeknownst to them, the number of people at the quiet notice board dwindled, and everyone left the trading market, scattering towards Dubian Town to spread the message.
The following day, the 25th day of the seventh month of the 351st year of the Great Chu Dynasty, it was cloudy.
