Within Books Dwelt a Woman with a Face Like Jade

As the system notifications sounded, Ma Feifei's mind began to be filled with detailed information about various licenses and the remaining content of this modification that had not been notified by the system.

Ma Feifei also found the details of the five levels of titles in the title licensing content in his mind. There are currently five levels, which correspond to the following five types of books: Blue Quality books (Larva-grade), Yellow Quality books (Pupa-grade level), Epic-grade quality books (Cocoon-breaking grade level), Legendary-grade quality books (Butterfly-grade), and Mythic-grade quality books (Ash-grade).

The discounts and benefits associated with these titles are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% respectively, and the percentage of Wuneng is calculated in the same way.

Of course, Ma Feifei cannot award these titles arbitrarily; readers must meet certain requirements to be granted this badge.

For example, the standard for awarding the Larva-grade Badge is to obtain Blue Quality books more than ten times. Once this level is reached, the Larva-grade Badge can be awarded.

To Pupa-grade, one needs to obtain Yellow Quality books more than five times. Starting from the Cocoon-breaking grade, one needs to comprehend the spirit within the book, and this applies all the way up to the final Ash-grade title.

However, these are all permissions granted to the host by the system itself. Whether the reader can obtain the Badge after meeting the requirements is ultimately decided by Ma Feifei himself.

Another point is the design of the glass walls. In fact, only people inside the Bookstore can see the outside scene, while people outside cannot see the inside scene of the Bookstore through the glass, similar to the idea of a one-way mirror.

In addition, among the messages transmitted by the system, Ma Feifei discovered two permissions that piqued his interest. Upon seeing this, Ma Feifei immediately opened the Bookstore door.

At this moment, the area outside the Mysterious Bookstore was already filled with cultivators. The reason was simple: not only had the interior of the Mysterious Bookstore changed, but the exterior had also changed.

The sliding door is made of ice crystals, supported by two dark red pillars on either side. Each pillar has a vertical ice crystal plaque hanging on it, and glass walls flank the plaques.

It was precisely because the Bookstore had suddenly changed so drastically that it attracted many cultivators to stop and watch, and they all discussed whether the Mysterious Bookstore had started to expand again. After all, the Mysterious Bookstore had expanded Bookstore interior space twice in a row, and everyone had gotten used to it.

When Ma Feifei came out, everyone curiously peered into the Bookstore through Ma Feifei and noticed that the interior colors seemed to have changed. It was no longer slightly dim as before, but rather bright and cheerful, looking particularly comfortable.

"It seems the table and chairs have changed too."

"And the cash register has turned white too."

I think I see a white support column.

There seems to be something on the wall.

"I saw the words 'The Analects'."

Everyone quickly described the changes inside the Bookstore, which made Ma Feifei marvel at their incredibly sharp eyesight. The Bookstore was as big as a football field! They could even see the calligraphy on the posters of famous people hanging on the Comprehension Wall in the corner. If this were Ma Feifei's previous life, even glasses wouldn't have helped.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I don't know when my nearsightedness improved." Ma Feifei glanced inside the Bookstore and found that his vision was now good enough to see the famous posters on the Comprehension Wall.

Shaking his head, Ma Feifei shifted his gaze to the vertical plaques on either side of the gate. He stroked his chin for a moment, then spread his hand, and a Ma Feifei brush appeared in his hand.

Holding a calligraphy brush, Ma Feifei stepped forward under everyone's gaze, walked to the vertical plaque on the right, and raised the brush to write on it.

And then... it wasn't tall enough.

"Yun Qingyang, bring a stool." Ma Feifei called into the Bookstore. Yun Qingyang had good hearing and could vaguely hear it even in the backyard. She appeared inside the Bookstore with a Plum Blossom in her mouth. When she saw the Bookstore had changed so much, Yun Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and casually picked up a long table and came out.

"Ma Feifei, why does the Bookstore's design look so familiar?" Yun Qingyang asked curiously, placing a stool next to Ma Feifei.

"Familiar? Not at all." Ma Feifei waved his hand seriously, stepping onto the stool so that his head was level with the vertical plaque.

"Really?" Yun Qingyang tilted her head and looked at the interior of the Bookstore, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. She then looked at Ma Feifei, who was writing on the vertical plaque, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hehe, it's time to show you my literary talent, Ma Feifei." Ma Feifei chuckled, not answering, and like a gentleman wielding a brush, a literary master splashing ink, he wrote a sentence from top to bottom on the vertical plaque, "In books, there are beauties as lovely as jade."

The seven large, gold-colored regular script characters are spaced perfectly, with equal width at the top and bottom, and the overall shape is also uniform. Combined with the regular script style, the characters look both grand and beautiful.

"In the book, there is a woman with a face as beautiful as jade..." The group of cultivators watching Ma Feifei write these seven large characters, their brows furrowed slightly, their faces showing deep thought, carefully pondering the meaning behind them.

"Who is Yan Ruyu?" a cultivator asked in confusion.

"It should be a woman's name..." a cultivator replied softly.

"Does the shopkeeper mean that there is a woman named Yan Ruyu in the book?" another cultivator asked suspiciously.

"But every book in the Bookstore has been browsed by everyone, and there's no one named Yan Ruyu among them..."

Although Mysterious Bookstore currently has a very large collection of books, it still attracts many book lovers every day. Some even visit Mysterious Bookstore two, three, or four times. After reading a book, they often choose to read other books. Therefore, every book in Mysterious Bookstore has been browsed by book lovers.

After reading through the books, these book lovers would reveal some of the contents to their companions during conversations. Some taverns or entertainment venues would even hire storytellers to recount stories they had heard from the books in the Mysterious Bookstore, turning them into short tales for the guests' amusement. As a result, most people knew a little about the contents of the books in the Mysterious Bookstore.

However, the name Yan Ruyu was never heard mentioned by anyone in Dubian Town.

"Perhaps it's a new book that the Bookstore is about to release," a practitioner suddenly remarked.

"It's very possible that the shop owner writing this sentence is the key to the mission. Everyone, quickly write it down and make some notes."

Then a group of cultivators began to take out brushes and paper to write down these words. Their earnestness was completely out of sync with their strength, making them look like elementary school students just starting their studies. This made Ma Feifei, who had just finished writing the sentence, both amused and exasperated. It was one thing for him to guess that it was a character from a new book, at least that had some logic, but what was with this note-taking? Did all these cultivators have brains as bad as Yun Qingyang's, unable to remember these seven words?

Ma Feifei shook his head, too lazy to tell them that it was actually a couplet, and they could think whatever they wanted. He moved the bench to the left, stepped on it, and began to write the first line.

But before he could even put down his pen, Ma Feifei suddenly frowned, got off the stool, and stepped back to the middle of the gate. He glanced at the blank vertical plaque on the left, then at the one on the right that already bore the inscription "In books, there are women as beautiful as jade"...

"Oh my god, it's written backwards..."
